" I'm sure I've been clawed by worse. Fair point though." Optimus concedes softly. Wiggling a bit more before he settles again with a pleased little vent. He stretches his servos over his helm, fins cocking back and forth like little metronomes as he flexes his claws. " This really does feel nice..." Groaning before he slow blinks at her. Then flashes her a fangy grin," I'm a warframe. Which lends itself to some cyberpredator CNA. So, I just very much be part cat somewhere in my CNA line." Before sobering up a bit. He does reach up to gently touch her arm," That sounds awful. Why would anyone think that was a good idea? That must have hurt so badly to be torqued when you fired your missile system? Why not mount them further up where the chassis braces itself better?" Absolutely looking a bit thunderous. " Someone was aesthetics over the comfort of the being they were..." He grimaces as it leaves a bad taste," In charge of." Nasal ridge wrinkling. Then - Softening, pale blue optics warming up again," ... Primus I hate saying that still. Either way. I'm glad you survived that. I'm glad you're here to tell your story, and make sure no one tries it again with anyone else."
Optimus wonders if ge can find someone to give him tummy rubs.
His tum is not forbidden. And it desperately needs some rubs.

A New Species Called Trolls
The Internet is known to be vast, fast and informative. But it’s also a dark place full of dangers... like ruthless online trolls – never heard of them? Unlike the trolls in the fairy tales, online trolls neither hide nor live in caves or deep down in a forest. No, online trolls lurk in public, in the suburbs and some in the city centres of the great capital cities around the world. Precisely where and when they smell the best opportunities to attract the public's attention, they strike. Not to mention, online trolls are far less harmless and cause a lot of damage. Their repertoire ranges from verbal abuse and slander to serious threats (Boyd 2014, pp. 131-132).
Online trolls are easily one of the scariest inhabitants of the Internet and thrive on negativity and cyberbullying. They love to stir up and spread hatred (Rosewarne 2016, p. 94). But who are "online trolls" – and what should you do if you come into contact with such a shameless species?
According to McCosker (2014, pp. 206-209), online trolls are people who purposely provoke others on the Internet, typically through inflammatory, insulting or provocative comments. Trolls have one goal: to upset others and cause emotional, preferably provocative results (Rosewarne 2016, pp. 105-111). To achieve this goal, trolls will grumble wildly and often on an off-topic post and ride personal attacks, post simple hate speech and even post death threats (Rosewarne 2016, pp. 90-97)
But it’s important to differentiate between some trolls. According to Dowling (2014), some online trolls can be passionate about a topic or cause and simply intolerant to differing opinions – for example, some die-hard unsocial individual or young kids who make fun of something and others. Usually, however, online trolls are generally intelligent people who leave no gap behind the comma. For the sake of simplicity, this group is often referred to as online trolls. In fact, the Internet is full of people who want to share their opinions.
But unlike the angry users who share negative but sincere beliefs, trolls probably don’t believe a word of what they’re writing. They choose their words precisely to upset others (Arendholz 2013, pp. 121-124). In short, trolls are online bullies. They’re found on virtually any Internet platform that allows comments or interaction. One study found that a disproportionately large percentage of online verbal abuse occurs on Twitter. This may be due to the rather anonymous nature of the platform compared to other social networks, such as Facebook. Apart from that, trolls can lurk everywhere on the Internet.
What you should avoid in your response to trolls?
First, don’t fall into the online troll trap and feed the trolls. This is very important. However, it’s also easier said than done, especially if a troll posts personal attacks. Dowling (2014) sums it up in his article: "If they want to be funny, your willingness to swallow the bait is their punchline. If you do not bait, there is no joke at all."

Thankfully, he’s got enough agility to avoid crashing into the pile of twins- leaping over them neatly and chasing after the dot. The crabs are batted away absently- even as he twists almost in half to careen back the other way as the dot changes direction.
His coloration shifts back to his plating contra-shaded scheme, and claws score the cement as he attempts another course-correction when Lennox zips the dot again the opposite way. Like the others, he’s literally hard-wired and code-locked to do this. A functional sight-cyberpredator, with mannerisms that aren’t all that far from some of the more developed insecticons- Jazz looks less like a sentient mechanism.
And more something a little more wild.
It doesn’t help that when he pauses to catch his venting, lateral plates along his chest-cavity expand and constrict as air is flooded past heated internals, forcing hot out and cold in. He begins to pace slightly, watching the dot as it stands still— fully engaged in hunting mode now.
“⚡️” Lennox is now pointing a laser pointer at the floor near Jazz. "So. Do you chase laser pointers like those oversized metal roosterhens?"
....There's a faint flick of those pointed sensor-fins atop his helm, actually able to move them backwards in a rather irritated manner. Gold optics regard the human icily behind that transparent visor- though if one knows his body language- he's trying NOT to stare at the dot.
He's also failing.
Thankfully, it hasn't moved yet- so he can keep his attention towards the human.
"...Why would you ask somethin' like that?"
