Baellfire had to bite her lip to keep herself from smiling. She finished up and moved onto the next task.
Baellfire: "We wouldn't want to rush any of our work and mess something up now would we?"
Now she's had her fun and started going at a much faster pace. She finished what WheelSpin would ask for just moments after he asked for it to be done. Whenever he didn't command her to do something, she would spend a few moments cleaning up his innards.
Baellfire: "Other than the dirt and grime, he looks good to me."

"Ha ha..funny." He answered sounding anything but amused, but at least after a few long moments of silence while they worked on removing, cleaning Vating up and then installing his new upgrades again, his frown slowly melted into an amused smile. "See. What wonders can be achieved if you decide to cooperate." It was a light tease and and a jab at her for the irritating point she wanted to make earlier.
"Dirt and grime removed, and he's as good as new." His voice was a near purr at that. He liked to see things come together and he liked a clean and well polished frame even more. Which reminded him of the fact he needed to do that to himself at some point in the near future. He could almost feel the grime sink deeper inbetween the seams. Eugh. Disgusting. The delicate work around the spark chamber was finished and after the armour plating was layered over it, the smaller racer moved back so the hood could be closed. With the back and the front joining together almost seamlessly he paused to admire his work.
"Perfect." He purred again and patted the half finished bot almost as if he could respond. "Medic." He glanced at Baellfire. "The other arm next, and then his legs. He are going to leave his helm to be last."
They fell into a routine. Here and there he would give orders on what she needed to do for him, but when they were working on something similar - like one leg vs. the other - he only instructed her once, with the first limb, while with the other he expected her to know what needed to be done. The weapons were installed along with the upgraded parts. There wasn't a colour design on Vating yet. Sure, technically he should have applied paint when the pieces were separate, but he wanted the patterns to be seamless and for that he would only need to give it the extra effort to cover all exposed parts and those who would expose themselves when the transformation took place.
"Helm." He announced almost a little too proudly. The lights on his head would be switched for a new pair, but their position remained. He didn't do much to the faceplate, as that was not going to be replaced, but he did clean it up, his thin tipped digits reaching into the seams at the edges to remove grit from there as well.
"Can you get me the helm. Should be finished about now." He looked at Baelfire then began to remove his old. As before it was a careful procedure intent to leave anything underneath exposed to the open air for the minimal time needed.
"I'll need you to clean up what we won't need after he gets his new helm fitted. Can melt it down for his spares later on, so just label it and pack it up."

Nova noticed that Wheelspins client was almost fully upgraded, Nova was contemplating what he wanted for his upgrades, he realized he could make use of a shield generator, and could possibly use some weapon upgrades as well, he looks forwards for his new finish and upgrades, something that will look lovely on him, and something that will make him more powerful than before.

Baellfire just rolled her eyes and smiled while she worked. She was happy things were going a bit better now. She did what WheelSpin asked when he asked for it to be done. She just wanted to finish up.
Baellfire: "Yeah, I'll get it now."
She walked over to get the new helm and walked back over. She carefully put it down next to WheelSpin before continuing what she was doing.

With a few final tweaks finished before the new helm was secured in place of his former Wheelspin leaned back a bit, studying his work. Well, technically their work, since the Medic helped too. He nodded and reached into his subspace. Retrieving a buffer from there he changed the head to be a medium to rather soft and delicate one. This he applied with just the right pressure, to Vating's faceplate. With smooth movements he slid the wheel gently across the plating. Once he had covered the whole surface he pulled it away. He changed the head again for a very soft abrasive, and did the same as before. One more change and he was done, looking pleased with the end result. No more scratches and shallow surface damage. The damage he might have sustained during the battle, was gone.
He hopped off the table only to curse as he stumbled, forgetting about the deflated tyre. "Frag." He straightened again. "You're free now if you want. Although, if you would not mind, I would need the wheels and my roof wing installed after this."
He did not wait for her to reply but walked across the room to the section where liquid materials were stored. The machine there could mix up the exact desired hues one needed, if the right code was entered into the system. There was a choice of raw chemical components that would, when joined, supply him with the desired product. It took him a little while to enter the right data, plugging a cable into the machine to share the formula.
The three desired colours would be ready soon enough. He leaned against the machine and exvented. He tapped his long digits against the side of his damaged door on the other arm. With the first paint ready as base, he was moved to apply it to the Autobot's plating. He was diligent with the application, adjusting the table so that it kept as little contact with Vating as possible while still keeping him from keeling over. The first coat of paint was applied with a spray, evenly. "This will feel a little warm... but you'll love the end result." He spoke to the bot even when he expected no response." He typed a few commands in the table and purred with satisfaction when it did exactly as he had wished to.
At least the Autobots had done something right. Getting the right tools for the job. The equipment may not have been top end stuff, but it would do its job well enough. While the first coat of paint was being fused with the plating beneath he studied the desired pattern for the rest and nodded. So the three colours had been, blue, white and grey.
He was completely in his world, not aware what either Baellfire or Nova were doing. Interested only in making the design as true to the one he added to the 'blueprint' as he could. He'd applied the paint design to it earlier, to make sure that the paint pattern would match seamlessly once he transformed into his alt form. It was harder than it would have been if a single large surface of one colour but it was a challenge he would not fail.
To take the distractions of the outside world out even more completely, he switched to another tune to listen to while the new paints were applied. This time it was 'Pump it'.
He craned his neck before the heat sources were removed, waited a moment for the plating to cool down and then began. Lines were clean, crisp. Masking tape is what organics would have used, cybertronians had their own version. It worked to keep the lines from smearing. "Turn up the radio..." He murmured, closing his optics briefly before focusing back on the Autobot he was about to finish. Front, side, top and bottom. Once that was done he backed up again, applying heat to the final coat.
"Almost..." He commented to noone in particular. "And....." He looked smug when the heat sources were removed again and he slid his digits lightly across the armour. "...done." He would not get a shiny finish. This was an armoured vehicle. They were not shiny. They were mat, dull, unreflective.
And just for the final touch, his radio blared a loud: "Can't touch this..... can't touch this... " Followed by a mock bow.

Baellfire: "Did you already forget that you wanted me to stay to help you in the first place."
Instead of sitting down, she slowly walked around the workshop, looking at all the equipment. She doesn't look around the base often, especially places like this. She was interested to see what else the base had while she waited for something to do.

Nova noticed he was done with the other mech which, and the other bot left, he gets up and gets ready to be fitted with his brand and given a new update for his paintjob.
Well, I am ready for my branding and my paint job my friend, I might consider some upgrades later on, but when I do, I know who to go to.
Nova said, awaiting his new paint and branding with great eagerness.

Wheelspin turned to call Baellfire when Novaflame approached him. He studied the other bot and listened to his list of demands and then glanced towards his tyres waiting for him. "Look. I'll do all that, but standing around on a deflated tyre is rather taxing on my pedes and if you would not mind, I'll have the Medic over there fit me with the new ones....and then I'll get back to your paint and brand. How does that sound?" He did not wait for an answer. He really wanted at least the smallest semblance of self back. ( Novaflame ) He turned around to see where Baellfire was. ( Ultra Nitron ) "I am ready now, so if you could make your way back here." He took a step away from the table to get enough space to transform. It wasn't going to be comfortable to do it now. Too many pieces had remained bent. He just hoped nothing was out of alignment enough to have him get stuck mid transformation. He was sure that being stuck in his alt mode would have been a mild improvement. He only stopped by the machine to upload his data, his blueprint and have it design the few more pieces he believed were to be scrapped. Once that was set in motion he returned to where he had enough space to transform. He did so and it really did not sound very pleasant at all. There was chaffing, squeaking, whining, sound of plating pressing and sliding along plating as it was forced into its other position. He was glad to have dulled his receptors down, else it would have felt even worse. Once settled he looked like a car ready for the scrapyard, having two tyres that kept him up and two that would have made him lean to one or other side, had they not been on opposite ends. One back, one front. One left, one right. "Change all four of them. We'll repair the roof after...just mount those on, alright?" Where strain would have been expected in his voice, there was none.

Nova listened and nodded.
Very well, I understand.
Nova said as he waited for the tire to be fitted on Wheelspins ped.

Baellfire: "I'll be as careful as possible..."
She grabbed a car jack and lifted WheelSpin's frame by the slightest bit. That way, she could take off and insert a new tire without the empty spot laying on the ground. She took off and hooked up the first tire as fast and as carefully as she could. Once that wheel was done, she lowered the jack and moved onto the next one, and the next, and the next until they were all done.
Baellfire: "You should be all set now."

Nova saw that Baelfire had done her work, she did a nice job on his wheels, Nova patiently waited till WheelSpin was ready for him and called him up to get his paintjob and his new brand done.

Vating slowly awoke from his stasis and pushed himself off the berth, at first, he just looked around at his new parts and making some movements to get used to his new height and parts. Eventually, he gets off the berth and after a few steps, is ready to go. He looks to Wheelspin right as he's being finished.
"Thanks."
He then looked around a moment, processing some thoughts, then turned to everyone again.
"I wanna test these upgrades out, anyone know of a location of Decepticons for us to waste?"

Wheelspin patiently waited for each of the tyres to be replaced, for all means and purposes really just resembling a race car in a carshop having that done to it. Once Baellfire was done he revved up his engine in thanks, only just noticing that Vating was up too. He watched the other transformer for a moment then forced his frame into another transformation. It sounded as unpleasant as he felt he looked, but just as before, he did not get stuck and that was good. He nodded to vating at his gratitude and looked pleased and smug.
"Well, if you wait just a little more. I've got an idea where we could go and I do need an armoured escort, just in case the Cons think to rear their ugly helms. Step out into the middle of the room for me first though. I want to see how it transforms and there should be enough space there." He took a few steps out of the way and looked just as pleased with his new tyres. His pedes no longer felt like one would buckle under his weight.
"Oh and you, flyboy, you see the table he was at. Get yourself on it." He glanced at the machine that just announced some of his own parts being finished and he looked ever more pleased at that fact. "There's some paint left from your 'touch-up'. You can either store it somewhere or have it on you in case you need it." He told Vating while he set in the probable quantities and code number, first for the base paints he needed for Nova, then the pearl reflective which would follow. He also set aside a quantity of clear paint to obtain that reflective finish. " Hmm... Since you are a flier, you don't happen to have any jobs that would require you be unnoticed. Too reflective might not be in your interest then." He spoke while he drew up the insignia from the data base. In all truth, the flames already were drawing enough attention, but he had to ask. "As for the brandings. I suggest one in the middle of the chassis and two at the wings. Of course you can go for only one of those." He turned from the machine to look at Nova.
Then to Vating: "Oh and you, I'll need to have you do just a few tests before we go out. It should all be perfect of course, but just in case." He shook his helm. "And please, next time, can you take better care of your interior. We had to do a good thorough clean with the Medic here before we could close you up."
At those words he looked at Baellfire:"After we're done here. Want to tag along?"

Nova got up and casually walked up onto the table that vating was on, he climbed up onto it and laid down.
I am here and ready when you are Wheelspin.
Nova said with a warm smile. he found he rather liked this fiery racer, he could see past his obnoxiousness and could find inner strength there, this was a mech that must have survived against all odds and had a rough life, but found a way to make a living either way as an upgrade and paintjob artist, and Nova appreciated art of any kind, thus Nova respected Wheelspin greatly.

Vating nodded to Wheelspin and walked over to the center of the room. With a slam of his fists, he transformed into his alt mode where he turned into an APC with a very futuristic look to it. He stood there waiting for the next command so that he may get this over with.
"Alright, done. What now?"

"Good. Wait there while the paints are getting prepared." Wheelspin answered, checking the machine to be sure it was not finished yet. He walked up to waiting in his alt form and circled him, studying the way the colour design aligned with the seams and different parts of his plating, and then how the armoured pieces smoothed against each other. He gave it a visual first before he had gone into a more servo on evaluation of the fit. "Alright. Looks fine." He rested a servo on one such joint and felt along the seam, glad he could not feel one side being any higher or lower than the other. The alignment was as good as it could be. Then nodded again. "Smooth and clean fit. Now, don't fire, but I'll need you to get your weapons out and moving, both in this form and then when you transform again. Let me know if the blade is coming out smooth and fast." He took a step back to give Vating space. ( Vatimus Prime) He also noticed the paint was done. "Hey, Flyboy. Do you want to have your old paint stripped off of you to get the new coat or have the new go over the old?" ( Novaflame ) He needed to clean the surface of course and glanced at Baellfire as if to ask that she could help him in that again even if it had nothing to do with actual medical procedures.

Vating began to drive around in circles with his rockets turning around and aiming at different things in the room, it probably looked a little goofy, but hey, if it mean't he'd get to kill some 'Cons, he'd do it.
He then transformed back to his robot form and walked around a little, then pulled out each of his weapons, first the rifle, since it would be the easiest to know if it's fine. Next he pulled out the scatter blaster, again, fairly easy. Then he pulled out the sword, his hand and wrist transforming into a much longer blade, intend to cut through Cybertronians.

Nova nodded.
That is fine, stripping it off would probably be the best way to go, though do be quick about it, I got a ping just now, stating I got trouble coming towards my ship, I got some friends there protecting my ship, but expect me to jump at a moments notice, whether your done or not, to defend my home, if I am called to back them up, I will be back for touch ups and to have the job finished mind you, just warning you ahead of time, so your not taken by surprise if I suddenly get up and leave before you are done with me.
Nova explained before Wheelspin could begin working on him.

Wheelspin watched as Vating moved, his optics following the movement of his weapons as much as the bot himself. He nodded. "Good, good. Smooth transition ..Doesn't grate on anything or list. Change of direction is good and quick. In short, everything is working as it should." He nodded again and walked up to Vating once he began pulling his weapons out on display.
"No friction in the transformation to the blade." He commented, talking more to himself than the subject of his study." How does it feel? The balance looks good." He stepped back a bit. The way he moved when he walked suggested that he was pretty much good to go. "You are heavier now, so that might need a bit of getting used to. As you know perfectly well yourself. Practice a little while I take care of the flier there and after I'm done.." It was not just with Nova but himself as well. "We can go... unless." He looked just a little miffed about something. "The flier needs you to defend his ship." He glanced at Nova having listened to all that he had said.
He shook his helm and walked up to him. "...If you want my advice, Get the brand now. Because your enemy as much as our side needs to know who you belong to. Get the paintjob done once you have driven them away from your ship. If I strip you of paint right now, your plating will be more vulnerable and susceptible to damage and corrosion and all the good stuff. I'll be here when you return. Probably. I'll give you my frequency if you need to contact me then or you can give me yours. But I strongly advise against doing the paintjob now, especially if you are short of time. Deal?" He tilted his helm a bit, waiting for Nova's answer.

Vating swung the sword around a little, getring used to the balance.
"Not worried about the weight, I can get used to it. Everything else seems fine."
He then looked to Noveflame, making some more practice swings, then transforms his arm back to his own hand.
"I'd gladly help out, it'd make a good practice run."
