Characters: Grimlock, @bumblebee Location: Autobot Scrapyard Base Content Warnings: Poor Stealth Choices , N/A Plot Summary: Most Cybertronians have no trouble blending in, but it's not so easy when your alt mode just happens to be a giant green dinosaur. Maybe some help from Bumblebee is all Grimlock needs in order to stop having these awkward encounters during their missions.

Another mission, another set of humans staring at the big green dinosaur right out in the open.
It wasn't easy being green, but it wasn't always easy being a Dinobot too. It wasn't without it's perks of course! Covert ops, however.. was not one of those.
Grimlock wondered around the scrapyard, grabbing random parts and pieces that he was fairly certain that Denny probably wouldn't miss or freak out about if they were possibly broken. He was desperate to find some other means to disguise himself so that he didn't stick out so much and make things awkward for the rest of the team. But more than that? He wanted to make Bumblebee proud!
While in Dinobot form, the mech crouched down onto the ground with bulky tires set near his arms and legs. He had adorned some of the other parts he had grabbed, and proceeded to make honking noises.
Him Grimlock now truck!
....sorta

For what felt like the millionth time since being assigned to it, Bumblebee was going through the prisoner manifest. It had become something of an obsession of his now, always worried they were missing something or someone despite the number of lower level Decepticons they had busted and arrested. Several times a day he would check the manifest then recheck, ever watchful of mistakes or possible leads.
Perhaps it was overboard and excessive, but Bumblebee was ever aware this number of Decepticons could catch Megatron's attention and be used to his advantage. Strength in numbers could be played against them, something the lieutenant feared the most right now. 'I wonder if this is how Prowl feels sometimes.' Bee thought to himself as he moved the holographic screen up and down many times, optics scanning over the names, and some lack there of. The only other reason he was so diligent in its upkeep though was because of his concern for his team as well, not wanting to see them harmed in some way because he slipped up as a leader.
Though as he was doing so, Bumblebee became aware of someone else moving about, briefly glancing up from time to time to see their resident Dinobot passing by from time to time. The black and yellow mech raised an optic at the growing collection of items Grimlock had but he would then go back to the list, not thinking much of it.
That was until he heard the rather failed attempted at car honks, causing Bumblebee to look up in bewilderment with a raised optic ridge. Deciding to investigate just exactly what Grimlock was up to, he switched off the console and turned on the spot watching with puzzlement and amusement as Grimlock attempted to imitate a truck. "Nice try at a truck Grim, but still a while before Halloween." Bumblebee chuckled as he approached his friend, watching him move around for a bit.

Grimlock turned his head as Bumblebee took notice of the 'sudden truck' being in the base. He didn't move from his spot, but instead only spoke.
"I'm not Grimlock! I'm a monster truck! Vroom vroom!"
He laughed at his own humor for a moment or two, but then the laughter shifted to embarrassment before getting up, changing back to root mode. Grimlock raised up a servo, rubbing the back of his helm as he glanced away. It so wasn't a passable vehicle mode, but it was the best he could do! Maybe it wouldn't hurt to ask his superior for a little advice on the matter.
"Ok, you got me. I just wanna be more helpful when we go on missions instead of you guys having to tow me everywhere. Though.. it is kinda fun to ride in a trailer!" Grimlock grinned widely, looking back to Bumblebee. "But I like being a Dinobot, and I know I can't be a car even though it sounds kinda fun sometimes. You got any ideas, Bee?" Surely there were only so many time where they could cover him with some crazy story about an escaped robot dinosaur exhibit or something to that effect.

"That's taking monster truck to a whole new meaning Grim." Bumblebee agreed with a laugh, finding Grimlock's attempts quite amusing. It certainly wasn't the Dinobot's first attempt at having a disguise of his own, but this was the first time Bumblebee had seen him so determined to find one. After all, in the beginning it wasn't so difficult to make up stories, but with time passing and their missions becoming more frequent those cover stories were slowly but surely becoming exhausted.
And that was a concern Bumblebee expected to come up, and that day was getting closer.
Grimlock really did have a point though. There was no changing the Dinobot's mind of trying to take a vehicle form. Such a question caused Bumblebee to rub his chin in thought. "Trust me Grim, I don't want to take you off any of the missions, especially when we could always use the extra hands, and its not fair to force you to take a form you don't feel comfortable with." The lieutenant agreed, "But its not going to be easy trying to find a vehicle disguise to work with your dino form either." He frowned in thought, returning to the console to pull up the internet, figuring if there was anywhere to turn to for ideas it had to be there.
"Maybe Earth has something. It may not be pretty, but you want it to be practical." Bumblebee spoke, partly talking to himself as he typed away, glancing back at Grimlock's spare parts he had procured. "But...maybe we can use your idea as a starting point." Bumblebee was trying to be hopeful, quickly typing away.
