Wreckers on a whole were not prone to sentimentality or being over-cautious. They did, however, tend to get stupidly overprotective whenever Xantium had to go in for repairs and overhauls. Especially if the other Wreckers had to leave her behind for a mission.
The mechs were waiting for their temporary shuttle in a cargo hold where there happened to be some rewiring occurring. The repair bots had a good portion of the bulkhead off, circuits and wire exposed and spilling out while the Wreckers kept giving them warning glances.
Whirl in particular was stewing from under the catwalk, looking like he was one microklik away from going up there and kicking the bots out. Something sparked loudly from the exposed area. "Take it up easy up there, Primus dammit! You're hurting her."
One of the bots looked down and said in exasperation, "Gimme a break- she can't even feel this!"
A crane arm swooped down from the ceiling and neatly plucked the tool from the bot's grasp. It wagged disapprovingly.
The Wreckers below grinned nastily, "Yeah- I'll bet."
