"If ah was made ta fly, ah'd have wings!"

Powerglide cackled at the older Autobot. "C'mon, 'Hide," he said, transforming into his robotic mode. He approached Ironhide, giving him a nudge in the shoulder. "It'll be fun. When's the last time you went flyin', huh?"

"Tha last time?" Ironhide scoffed, hands on his hips. "Tha last time ah was flyin' ah was ridin' tha back of Astrojerk an' nearly got maself thrown inta tha ocean!"

"Well, I ain't no Decepticon, 'Hide," the jet assured, "so you ain't gonna risk bein' suddenly thrown from a hundred or so feet off the ground."

Ironhide shivered. "Uh huh," he scowled, "ah avoid havin' ta fly whenever necessary."

Powerglide shook his head. "But it'll be fun," he crooned, "relaxin' even!"

"Ah can relax mahself jus' fahn on tha ground, or goin' for ah drive," the older bot insisted with a stubborn snort.

If Powerglide could frown, he'd make the perfect puppy dog face. "Is it ya don't trust me, buddy?"

Ironhide winced. "Nah, it ain't that, 'Glide," he grumbled, ashamed. He rubbed the back of his head, looking nervously aside. "Jus' never gone flyin' fer recreational perposes, y'know?"

And though smiling was impossible as well, Powerglide's optics had the same cheerful effect. "Don't you worry, buddy," he purred and gently touched the smaller mech on the shoulder. Ironhide grinned weakly. "I'm gonna show you the time of your life."

Ironhide exhaled loudly. "Yer gonna be tha death of me, y'know," he snorted.

Powerglide laughed and transformed before his companion. "Not today, 'Hide," he assured and let Ironhide crawl carefully onto his back. "Now hold on tight!" he ordered.

The older Autobot clenched limbs around the jet's frame. "Ya don't needa tell me that!"

"Oofff, you're heavy!"

Ironhide snorted. "Well, if yer just gonna be rude, I'm just gonna gidoff--" Suddenly, the jet rolled forward, causing Ironhide to cling tighter, optics widening. "Hey! Don't do that!"

"Had to make sure you'd stay on!" Powerglide laughed. He shook a little. "You snug back there?"

"As ah'll ever be," Ironhide sighed.

Powerglide's engines revved. "Good!" he chuckled and drove forward. "And awaaayyy we go!"
