At the explanation of where the parts were going, Skyfire tilted his head. "Sounds like about what I'll be doing. Stripping out the few components I can use, melting metals and such. Do you get anything for it when you take it to be melted?" Because even if he doesn't, Skyfire figures that he should give something as payment later anyways. It's good to keep on good terms with your only supplier after all.

Swindle coming over to inspect Skyfire has him taking a half step back, before he calms down and then outright laughs at being called 'a big flying lizard'. "Well, it's been a very long time and I'm not sure if this will work... but..." Skyfire sends out a very old, short range, transmission over various communications channels. It's just a standard greeting, almost indecipherable, but should be recognized as Cybertronian at least.

Skyfire grimaces and the transmission cuts sharply, clearly he's not able to transmit anything like he 'used' to.
