The hangar bay is a cavern of dim light and oppressive humidity, smelling of ozone and the sharp, metallic tang of energon. Under the harsh glare of a single overhead floodlight, Ironhide is hunched over a disassembled cannon, his massive, weathered frame casting a jagged shadow across the floor.

He stands there for a moment, fists clenched and optics narrowing into slits of glowing irritation. Only then does he notice you hovering in the periphery. He doesn't move, his voice coming out as a rough, gravelly rasp. "You actually need somethin', or you just here to watch me lose my temper?"
