You enter Swerve's bar once more for the Easter/April Fools Day celebrations, attempting to bypass all of the pranking by, ironically, going to the one bot notoriously known for being the biggest prankster of all.
"Hey Best Customer," he calls out to you, motioning for you to sit down in your seat. "Made it just in time for the drag racing. I've got a betting pool on who's gonna win the race." Swerve starts up the feed on the largest screen in the room, and you all look as a rather flashy intro sequence begins.
Swerve hummed to himself. "Well played, Knock Out. Well played." He then proceeded to clap at the medic's pun.

Knock Out sat at a table with four other bots. To his left were Breakdown, waving jovially, and stern-faced Sepsis with hands steepled. The two guest judges were Strongarm, who seemed to be cackling with glee, and Ratchet, who had wide-opticked curiosity. Knock Out himself was wearing a platinum blond wig and a sparkly dress with no straps.
On the stage was Pharma, who was in a more fun, playful red wig and a bright red dress that was a little too short and showed way too much leg, but not much else to his look; and Kaon, in a jet black wig, dark red hat, a blazer, a black dress, excessive jewelry, and...over his mouth and olfactory receptor, a silky red mask.
"Two bot queens stand before me. Queens, this is your last chance to impress me and save yourself from elimination. The time has come to LIP SYNC FOR YOUR LIFE! Good luck, and don't frag it up."
The lights went down, and the music would start up--The Touch, by Stan Bush. Pharma seemed to start strong with amazing moves, knowing every word. Kaon, however, seemed to use his arm to go in front of his mouth. The judges seemed to be murmuring amongst themselves.
"Is Kaon seriously going to leave that on?" Sepsis whispered, flicking her wings.
Knock Out muttered. "I know right?"
"This is a lip sync, he knows that, right?" She frowned.
Knock Out nodded. "Right."
After a few more moments, Knock Out frowned, and lifted a hand. "Stop, hold up. Hold up. Kaon, this is a lip sync for your life, we need to see your lips. Take that thing off of your mouth."
"I'd...like to keep it on." Kaon rumbled.
Knock Out grunted. "It's a lip sync, what part of that don't you understand?"
Kaon sighed. "Okay."
Knock Out rumbled. "Okay, so we're gonna reset." He then calmly gazed to the two again. "Lip sync for your life, take two."
The music would start up, and just as before, Pharma was going strong. Kaon, however, seemed to be faltering with the lip motions, and often hid his mouth behind his arm. By the end of the song, Knock Out gave an appraising look.
"Alright. Pharma, shantay you stay. You may join the other bots. Kaon, I thought you had it in you to go all the way, or is the DJD just over-hyped?"
Kaon growled, firing electricity at the lights. "THIS IS BULL! KAON OUT!"
Knock Out looked into the camera. "...What'd you think a show called Knock Out's Drag Race would be? Car racing?"
