Swindle tensed slightly as Barricade brought up the one thing he didn't want to have brought up. Yes, he had four brothers, the problem was they were a bit separated right now, which made him uncomfortable. Not to mention the fact that one of them, Brawl, who had come to Earth first, had disappeared about 20 years ago. The separation was getting to him and the disappearance was unnerving. That constant and reliable source of backup he had before was gone now and he didn't like that.
He did his best not to show the discomfort. "Who said anything about dirty work? You have certain skills and are going to be doing some things in your line of work anyway and I have certain resources in my line of work. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement, strictly professional if you want it to be. Plus you've been out of contact for so long I can't imagine what information you may have gathered in that time to report back and with my help you may be able to walk into the Decepticon base without being shot at for being a suspected spy or possibly a ghost depending on who happens to see you. And to top it of you could get yourself a fresh supply of energon once there too."

Barricade snorted and crossed his arms. "That tells me absolutely nothing." He replied in a growl. "Tell me exactly what it is you want me to do, or you can forget it, and I'll be on my way on my own." Truth be told, he was sorely tempted to leave now, but he figured it would do some good to at least hear out what Swindle had to say, and make his decision from there. Partly because, in fact, he had very little information that he was certain the Decepticons did not know already. He needed something new, less he be branded a traitor, or completely useless, or a spy, as Swindle had said, and be killed.

Swindle shrugged. "I actually hadn't had anything specific in mind, though it would be nice to know just how much of an upper hand the enemy has. You know, what kind of weapons they may have that we were unaware of and the like since they are getting help from the humans and all. Yes, human weaponry may be a bit primitive but it can still do damage and when combined with less primitive technology, well, depends on the creativity of whoever made it I guess. But if I know what we're going to be up against, or possible going to great lengths to avoid as the case may be, I can start acquiring the resources for us to counter it. It could also give you a bit more to report back with too, which wouldn't hurt. Of course this would most likely mean having to swing by the Autobot base but you've been flying under the radar for so long at this point I'm sure you could handle it..." He smirked a bit looking at Barricade. "Or am I wrong in that assumption?"

Barricade growled again, adding a bit of a snarl to it. "I'm more than capable of handling it, Swindle." He responded, a bit miffed at Swindle insinuating that he was incapable of performing his function. His form shifted and morphed back into his alt mode. "Is that all, because if it is, then I'll just be going now." The sooner he could get this all done, the better off he would be.

Swindle grinned at the response. Ah how he loved emotions sometimes, use them the right way and you could make people quite agreeable even when they didn't want to be. "I take it we have an agreement then." he said somewhat confidently. "I just want to verify you know, make sure there was no miscommunication here." Between Barricade's emotions and his common sense it should be a definite agreement. After all there were two main places to get energon on this planet, the Autobot base and the Decepticon base, and the better option he may very well need help getting into.

"Some semblance of an agreement." Barricade responded, his engine starting up with a low rumble. {"For now...I see a chance to grab some Energon from the Autobots, and I'm gonna take it.."} "So, should I assume to comm you when I'm done, or is there somewhere that you want me to go to meet you?" There was an edge of disdain to his voice' he was not happy with the arrangement.

"A comm should suffice, then we can meet up at the Decepticon base so I can help you get in without getting shot." Swindle said. He too transformed, his own engine starting with something of a purr to it. It was always a good feeling when things went right. Well they hadn't gone completely right yet, Barricade still had to deliver after all, but so far the arrangement was going smoothly.

Barricade let out another growl, one that came from his engine, and the growl escalated into a roar as he accelerated, tires spinning for a moment before finding purchase on the ground, carrying him back to the highway. From there, he would travel East. He already knew where the Autobot base was, he'd been by it a couple times several years ago. The journey would take him some time, as he would have to constantly replenish his energy from other sources to make sure he would have enough, but he would get there...

Swindle watched Barricade go, waiting a bit before he started heading back to the road he'd come off of earlier, though actually using the roads to get back this time. After all, there wasn't so much of a rush anymore, and he'd already left early fro where he was headed. He had some business to see to in New York, a sort of side job to bring in a little extra money. Nothing to big, just a simple job that should go easily enough so long as there were no surprises.
