[The familiar voice stops Swindle in his tracks. He's not altogether sure how to approach this situation, running into Rodimus, of all 'bots, and here, of all places.

So he puts on his "customer service" voice.]

Rodimus! Not exactly the guy I wanted to see, but still! [Were you using this shoulder? No? Swindle will just plant his arm right there, then.] Great to see you're not dead after all, you know, I was almost worried for a second there, but you know what I said? Rodimus Prime's a 'bot that even death couldn't kill. [Were you going to say something? No? Don't worry, Swindle can carry a conversation for the both of them.] Say, remember the last time we saw each other, surrounded by a planet of organics? No hard feelings, right? You understand. I mean, we did get back to Cybertron together, one way or another. You know, the past is just the past; "let bygones be bygones," I always say. You know what I think? I think, in a way, if we hadn't had our little run-in, maybe everything wouldn't have turned out the way it did. Cause and effect has a weird relationship sometimes. So, how've you been? Doing alright? You look good! Have I ever told you I love the flames? I love the flames.

[Stop him now, or he'll go on forever.]
