Warpath goes to the library
Warpath is many things. He's strong. He's brave. He's slightly psychotic. But the first thing any resident of the Ark would tell you is that he's loud (and probably a bit deaf too). He always had a tendency to shout everything, even when he was standing right next to the bot he was talking to, and his verbal tic to shout random onomatopoeia in the middle of his sentences did not help matters.
So it didn't take Perceptor to figure out Warpath being in a library was sure to end terribly.
"Please sir, remain quiet in the library!"
"I'm sorry, I KABLAM can't help it!"
Normally, a librarian would be more than a bit scared to come face to face with a big red robot that had a giant cannon jutting out of its chest, but people in this city were well aware of the Autobots that they trusted them enough to record PSAs there.
"I'm sorry about him, Jen. Dear old Warpath here is simply incapable of an inside voice, unlike myself." That deep, nasal and obnoxious voice could belong to none other than Tracks, one of the Ark's resident narcissists (of which it had a surprising amount)
"SHOVE IT UP YOUR ZAM EXHAUST, YAH-" A sharp hiss silenced Warpath before he could finish his insult to the blue Corvette.
"Humph. No need to be a brute. Now if you don't mind, I need to get back to reading classical literature." Tracks whispered to Warpath as he returned to his book, Pride and Prejudice.
"FINE!" Warpath quickly caught himself before he yelled the rest of his sentence "I can read stuff too." Warpath whispered back while suppressing a POW.
The mini-tank scoured the shelves until he found something that caught his interest: a book called Captain Underpants. He had a quick flip through it to make sure it had pictures (because books without pictures are enough to knock Warpath into stasis).
He found a spot and began reading. Soon enough, he was enraptured. For as hardened a veteran Warpath was, the child-like innocence of the book struck a chord with his spark. It also helped that the writing style wasn't all pretentious like the 'classical literature' Tracks enjoyed reading.
The moment he fell in love with the book though was when he got to the Flip-O-Rama. Not only did the senseless violence and big POW bubbles satisfy his love for loud noises, but he was encouraged to add his own sound effects, which he did. He was extremely happy.
Everyone else in the library was no
After finishing, Warpath found all the Captain Underpants books the library had, along with anything else from the same author, so that he could check it out of the library and enjoy them his own way back in his quarters.
Back at the Ark
"BOOM! POW! BAM!"
"Whaddya think Warpath is up to?" Jazz and Bumblebee happened to be walking by the red tank's living quarters.
"Maybe he's playing some new video game?" Bumblebee was friends with every resident on the Ark and he knew Warpath wouldn't normally get this worked up over something in his room (unless explosions were involved)
"Whatever it is, it's strangely quiet." Jazz observed.
Warpath was completely oblivious to the conversation happening outside his quarters. He had finally found out why reading could be so fun.
