Okay, the grabbing at his arms was unexpected. But Herbie doesn't shake her off either, seeing that she was in distress.
"Alright, alright. Let's look around again, retrace what you did with the...arm?"
Herbie glances at the project- doll? - on the table. He tiled his head and...
Huh....Skyfire.....?
He turns back to her.
"Maybe you just left it somewhere without realizing or it dropped to the side? Sometimes when we're rushing around, we miss what's right in front of us."
@herbietheautobot “Okay, okay, calm down… calm down. Get a grip, now.“
Obediently (though probably not correctly), Dragonsbane grabbed the mech by his upper arms.
"I know I finished the other arm last night." The femme insisted in reference to the pile of felted wool pieces on the table beside them, half-assembled into a shape that vaguely resembled Skyfire, if one squinted a little bit, and turned their helm sideways. "It has to be around here somewhere, but I've already looked! Everywhere!!" She sounded no less upset, despite the good advice that staying so worked up wasn't going to help.
"I have to find it! He can't see it yet - it's not finished!"

Hc that any Cybertronian with a car, truck, or ship alt mode can voluntarily beep or honk in robot mode
And that some of them with really loud ones would sneak up on others from behind and HONK to spook em
Just thinking about what if Ratchet needs to get the attention of the entire room and goes WEEWOOWEEWOOWEEWOO

//All of the Herbie movies like desperately need to suddenly veer into being a TF movie. Like. Can you imagine a 60's Transformers movie?!?
lmfaooo. Every single one would benefits, but especially the later ones where things get wackier (they're all wacky but I'm talking loony tunes wacky). And there's always a subplot of Herbie making a racing comeback/dealing with being considered old/past due by the humans around him.

"Alright!"
In mere seconds he was in car mode, and it quickly became the oddest looking race ever. Robotic cheeta vs vintage car. Not that anyone would care.
He revs his engine, it sounding stronger than any VW had any right to.
"On the count of three!~"
"Fastest, huh?"
Oh, those were some magic words-
"Wanna race? I'm pretty fast too."
The small bot grinned wide, always excited at the chance to race.

A Touch of Frost Sentences, Vol. 1
(Sentences from A Touch of Frost (1992-2010). Adjust phrasing where needed)
"Could you please pull yourself together and act like a mature human being!"
"Just so you know, I don't like to eat anything green."
"Everyone was right; you're not very nice to know."
"Swear to me that you had nothing to do with this!"
"I am concerned that the wrong officer may be in charge of this investigation."
"I'm trying to preserve the reputation of this force!"
"I find you incredibly offensive!"
"Who knows what goes through your mind when you blow someone's head off."
"What are we talking about now? Politics?"
"I'm sorry if I got a bit maudlin this morning. I sometimes get overwhelmed by self-knowledge and the sudden realisation that I'm useless. It's my only vice."
"I hope you'll accept my apology. Manners never were my strong point."
"I'm a little concerned about the way you dress."
"From the state of her face, there must have been blood everywhere - but as you can see, the place is immaculate. No blood, no mess. Everything in its place. He must have tidied up after himself."
"You're lonely, and sometimes loneliness turns to bitterness."
"You know how I hate computers. There's only one way to catch criminals, and that's good, old-fashioned police work!"
"You used to be with the Serious Crime Squad, didn't you?"
"Did you know that more people die at four o'clock in the morning than any other time?"
"I don't think I like your attitude."
"You know, it'd have been a lot easier if you'd come clean when we first spoke to you."
"I don't care about you. Not anymore."
"What are you doing here, apart from trying to avoid me?"
"Insensitive is my middle name."
"You can't put a tick in the 'no publicity' box, you know."
"Bravery's good news. It's got to be maximised."
"We all come out of this a lot less human than we went in."
"You have a very individual approach to detection, but we're all part of a team, and teamwork's what gets us results!"
"Eccentrics are only tolerated so long as they come up with the goods."
"What makes you think you're such a catch? A scruffy copper who only comes home when he feels like it?"
"The way to deal with dogs and horses is to show you're not afraid of them. Is it the same with policemen?"
"Out of order is no good to anyone. Out of step is much better. That way, you tread on the bits the other people miss."
"You live, and you die, and the difference doesn't affect a single person in the whole world. It's as if you hadn't been here in the first place."
"Just because we're loyal to each other doesn't mean we have to be faithful."
"I cannot for one moment believe that any breach of confidence on your part was deliberate, but your haphazard way of working was always bound to lead to this kind of cock-up!"
"You're selfishly coming between two people who care for each other!"
"You're a hard, callous bitch! You're just using me!"
"When have you ever had a lasting relationship?"
"We are in the middle of a murder enquiry! I think private lives can wait!"

3. for an excited starter .
"Well now! That's one interesting alt mode you've got! I don't think I've seen that before!"
And if he had, he didn't remember. But that was neither here nor there-

"Heh, I do know what you mean. It's good to meet you Kelsey, I'm Herbie."
The bot grinned, bending down to be more eye level with the young woman. He was smaller than most, but still much larger than a human would be.
@herbietheautobot "...Hello! Who are you?"
@herbietheautobot
The small smiled brightly, both her dimples showing prominently, "Oh hi uh-! My name's Kelsey. It's nice to see another autobot around here! I mean- I'm not a bot but...you know what I mean."

Mobile Friendly Character Bio. Under Cut to Length
A bot from Velocitron that was once known as Parvus Miror, Herbie is an Autobot.
Before the war, he was a failed minor racer who did whatever racing odd job he could get. Just waiting for his chance to prove himself again. When the fighting broke out, he took on Communications and Information Security roles.
Being small, quick, and clever he fit into the work perfectly.
In whatever continuity that includes Cybertronions coming to Earth before the 1960's, something goes wrong and Herbie is left in stasis on the planet. Cut off from his group and probably injured. His body taking on the camouflage of the nearest compatible item - the '63 Volkswagen Beetle.
He is mistaken for a regular car and spends the next several decades with various humans, going on crazed adventures. During this time he was half woken from stasis, unable to transform out of alt mode and without his memories properly loading. As far as he or anyone else knew, he was just a Living Car. A marvel with no explanation and no past.
Until finally during a tune up, something is finally snapped back into place properly and his processor is given a full reboot. Once complete, Herbie properly "wakes up" and remembers who he is. And what his purpose is.
One question remains now, what comes next?
Personality:
Confident, quick witted, fearless. A fun loving jokester with a prideful streak but he also can be serious when necessary. Has gained a patience and laid back streak thanks to his time with humans.
A romantic as much of a racer, he can't help playing meddlesome matchmaker when he sees two people (or bots) who should be together. He himself, isn't so lucky with love. Things never seem to last long....
Doesn't take too kindly to mocking of his stature or the size of his engine, it's easy to get him pissed if he's considered as Less Than. Beware the vengeful streak.
It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it!
Weapons: Electrified twin blades that slide out of his gauntlets.
Age: Equivalent of an older 30's man.
Pronouns: He/him
Sexuality: Pansexual.
