“Wanna know how you improve upon your global reputation? By NOT making the Nazis look tame by comparison!” Vortex proclaimed, Blast-Off stood beside him and scratching his head in confusion. “What prompted this?” He demanded. “Oh, China’s government isn’t treating their local Muslim population, the Uighur, like humans and has gone on record as having been declared to have the largest amount of concentration camps since the holocaust.” Vortex explained, handing his wingman a pot of Huny. “I’m not sure I’m a fan of this politically conscious Vortex. I miss the guy who’d just basically be Warpath but a Decepticon helicopter.” Blast-Off sighed. “Trust me! New me is better! Especially since, if you know where to look on our toys, we’re made in Vietnam! BUT THAT’S BESIDE THE POINT!!!” Vortex exploded as he grabbed back the Huny jar and smashed it on the floor in outrage. “THE POINT IS, YOU’D EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT OF A PLACE LIKE CHINA, WHICH IS ALREADY SCRUTINIZED AGAINST AS IT IS, TO IMPROVE PUBLIC RELATIONS, NOT MAKE THEM WORSE!!! THINK HOW OFTEN PEOPLE MAKE FUN OF CHINA FOR MAKING KNOCK-OFF PRODUCTS!!! IT’S GOTTEN SO BAD THAT YOU HAVE LEGITIMATLY GOOD STUFF LIKE AZUR LANE AND GIRLS FRONTLINE, WHICH HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN WRITING HERE IN THE PAST, GETTING MISTAKEN FOR AND LIKENED TO THE GARBAGE YOU FIND SELLING FOR $5 AT A STREET MARKET!!! THIS ISN’T EVEN COUNTING THE COUNTLESS TIMES THEY’VE BEEN BLAMED FOR CENSORING THE OUTBREAK OF THE CORONAVIRUS THAT THE ORGANICS ARE SO WORRIED ABOUT!!! You know how they did it? WITH THE STATE-RUN WHATSAPP KNOCK-OFF!!! NOW THEY’RE RUNNING CONCENTRATION CAMPS!?! EXCUSE ME, BUT MAYBE DON’T KNOCK OFF THAT PIECE OF GERMAN HISTORY!!! FCK!!!” Vortex wailed while clutching his head in agony. “Are you alright? Well, by Vortex standards, I mean…” Blast-Off admitted. “No! Not even by my standards, I am NOT alright! My insanity is getting the best of me! Continue my rant for me Blast-Offs! I’m seeing quadruple and I think my processor may be on fire!” Vortex groaned as smoke poured from his visor seems. “That makes this exponentially bad! When the resident psychopath is having mental issues over a problem!” Blast-Off pointed out. “Hey! Could be worse! Coulda been the doctor who first warned about the virus in the first place!” Vortex hissed. “Alright, THAT’S far enough!” Onslaught warned as he stomped onto set and shoved Vortex aside. “Without bringing in too much comedy than their needs to be. Get your shit together Xi!” Onslaught barked before giving the cue for the camera to cut.
