' What happened to not playing by the rules? '
He fires another blast from his barrage cannon at Gearchange
' Ah well... This was getting boring... '
He throws down a smoke grenade and retreats through the groundbridge...

Dynamite dodges to the side and aims a grab at Whirl's leg, aiming to extend it out and bring his elbow down into it with crushing strength, breaking it. You are probably the most over-exaggerating Autobot I've ever met, Whirl. Dynamite says.
Sydrone, having missed Backbeat as his target, looks up to see Dynamite in the sky, fighting Whirl. Crap, I can't fly... BLACKJACK! Blackjack swoops down to let Sydrone leap on him.

"If you plan to auto-hit, so can I!!!" Whirl yells gleefully. He grabs Dynamite's helm and cracks it forward against his own. With most mechs, it'd dizzy them both but in Whirl's case, his head has long ceased being a valuable asset. His claw jams into Dynamite's side and starts ripping through.
In any case he's still feeling more than slightly tense, having not yet been given the opportunity to really hurt somebody yet.

Lost sight on Backbeat.
Gearchange punts a garbage bin in anger.
Whatever he had on him it was valuable to him.

Whirl slams his claw into Dynamite again, "I AM NOT A FAKE!!!" he screams, one more time before he rips free and drops, landing on his feet next to Gearchange.
You didn't fight properly, you didn't stop Backbeat, you couldn't even-
The current feeling he's getting is not all that different from the last time he tried to offline himself in his hab-suite, privately, so that nobody would ever need to know or see him a-
"DAMN!!!" Whirl punches himself in the face sharply to try and snap himself out of it. Unfortunately, while his emotions are certainly hard to read, he wasn't much good at suppressing them even before he completely lost his mind. He sits on the fire escape instead, "Was it shiny? And a rock? Like a shiny rock?" he asks Gearchange.

((I said AIMING TO not HE DID, Whirl! You didn't even acknowledge the fact that Dy grabbed your leg!))
Dynamite looks up, a claw mark on his face, he was going to make Whirl pay, but he couldn't be bothered with such an insignificant speck on this dirt-world's face. He also saw his brother flying towards him and he was aware of Sydrone's skill. He decides to fly away.

Whirl whatever it was, its gone and its in the Decepticons hands.
I don't know what he has planned with it, what it is or what its used for.
It was some kind of rock, whether its some kind of fuel or crystal.
Its another asset the cons got their hands on.

That just makes Whirl wish he'd managed to get the thing out of Backbeat's back even more. Still...
"Well... I expect it was the one that looked something like this..." he holds out the descriptive photograph that had fallen out of the glass box Backbeat had smashed, "Ooooh... it's shiny!"
He almost chuckles, tossing the piece of card up and down a couple of times in a claw before flipping it to Gearchange for him to look at it. Then he starts picking at one of the scars on the back of his arm, peeling off the scab slowly and flicking it aside. A thin trickle of Energon runs from the slight damage.

Gearchange catches it between his bulky digits, a visor drops down from his helm and he begins scanning the picture in. He then reaches to his waist and opens up a satchel on his belt, stowing away the evidence.
We should move out, see if we can't find any more cons to bash.

"Hmph..." Whirl's expression unreadable, "The Big M is gonna be so peeved when he finds out I came here. He said the mission requires stealth and finesse. And that I should stay behind on Cybertron and keep... 'talking things over'," he makes quote marks with his claws, before digging at another scab industriously until it leaks a little, "It's like I'm not absolutely fine or something."

"Hey, nothing ever bugs me!" Whirl insists cheerfully. Something apparently occurs to him and he tries to cross his arms a little, fighting the urge to pick at another scratch, "I... No. No, I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me. I'm just fine."
It occurs to him that he's been saying that even more than usual. Damn stupid Backbeat and his frag-scrap and stupid self-reassurance, if it was even possible for a monster to reassure themselves...
"That's right. I'm fine. I am not a fake Autobot."

You ready to move to another location? I'm sure there's a few cons out there waiting for a beatdown.

Brigade wiping the Oil that stained his Faceplate from eating off the Vehicle starts hearing more Conversation, he couldn't make out who it was considering he hasn't met them in his life, Brigade having his curiosity piqued Transforms and hovers over the Two Strange mechs allowing him self to be visibly Seen, he Drones as the word "Big" and "M" was referenced by one of the Two, he figured maybe they were one of "M"'s Acolytes probably trying to fix up another mess made up by those Tasty and rather Hostile Autobots, the Reason Brigade thought of this was mainly he hasn't heard "M"'s name in...perhaps Decades!

"Damn right!" Whirl stands again, "Y'know, I could swear you've been spending all your time piecing together fantastic strategies in a cold, dark planning room or something since you got conjoined. Or been doing something in dark rooms, anyway..." his plating rattles in what may or may not be a laugh, or possibly something else, "Not getting out enough, Gears?"

When a decepticon like Shockwave decides to rewire you and turn you into someone you're not... this is kinda like therapy for me.

"Shockwave..." It isn't that Whirl doesn't like Shockwave - any more than he hates everybody else, really - but what he really dislikes about the mech is that single emotionless optic - or more accurately, the way that whenever people see an Empurata victim, they think of the emotionless, power-mad sadist that is Shockwave, rather than a person who has had their life twisted and crippled until they can't even recognise who they used to be.
If he ever felt sorry for a Decepticon, he might actually feel sorry for Shockwave.
"Heh. Although you probably aren't as bad as you think you are," he adds to Gearchange, returning to his slightly high-pitched tone again, "The way I see it, you can either be not as bad as you thought, or possibly you're much, much worse. Like me." It's impossible to tell if he's joking or not.

Oh I'm bad alright, but in all the good ways.
Gearchange pushes a small detonator opening up a groundbridge.
Lets go find some fun eh?

Whirl lets out a brief cackle, "Maybe this time nobody's gonna get in the way of the job," he suggests almost cheerfully, "I don't need help to kill 'cons!" he thinks about that for a moment then adds, "But then again, neither do you!"
He snaps his claws a couple of times awkwardly, glaring fixedly at them before looking up into the night sky. He can feel his pincers shaking a little, and his plating flares a little, making him look even more all elbows than usual. But after a while he speaks again.
"Sometimes I think people are a lot like clocks."
