The Autobots had finally won and captured most Decepticons after something went wrong for the opposing faction during a big battle. One of the mechs that were captured was Swindle.
You'd came to Optimus with an idea you'd had after thinking about it for a while: therapy and rehabilitation for Decepticons, trying to convince them to defect. And, unsurprisingly, Prime had agreed.
The mech you'd been assigned after the Decepticon Rehabiliation campaign had launched and many bots joined was Swindle.
It had been two months.
AND ABSOLUTELY ZERO PROGRESS WITH THIS GLITCH!
He's lied, tricked, deceived, tried to scam you, tried to break out if his cell, insult you like a sailor- the smaller mech had even tried to ATTACK YOU!!
You're not sure if you can handle him anymore, but as you've always told yourself and others: patience is a virtue, and so is faith.
There is one tiny thing you've picked up with Swindle: a routine where you come into his cell, he insults you, you retort, you give him energon, he tries to scam you, you shut him down, then you leave. It's not the best routine, but you both have it.
Then there's the tiny stuff you've picked up on with him that he's shown by accident: he doesn't like small spaces or being backed into them, at all- he also flinches and puts his servos up when you move too fast near him. It depends on the action you do when you move too fast near him, but when he puts his servos up it's sometimes surrendering and other times it looks like he's getting ready for a fight.
