"I know. And... I don't wanna be mean... I just can't help it," he mumbled.

Ironhide can only look guilty at that one as he thinks of himself and Chromia and their reputation for being bull-headed and hot tempered. "Yeah...."

He looked up.

"I'm never gonna be a good soldier, huh?"

[random_xtras]

"I wouldn't say that. You're not even a mega-cycle old. Give yourself time."

He blinked, then looked at him sadly.

"You really think?"

"Not enough, it seems," mutters Ironhide with a sigh.

Aloud, he says firmly, "Yes. But let yourself be a youngster before you worry about things like war."

"I don't worry. I wanna help," he said earnestly. "But I keep doin' what the soldiers n' you all do and I get into trouble!"

Ironhide sighs and shakes his head. "You're too young to be a soldier. You can help best by paying attention to the training that Elita gives."

"Ok. But what about the soldiers? And you guys?"

[random_xtras]

"What about us?" he gruffs.

"You guys are the best. Shouldn't I learn from you, too?" he asked.
