     Which puts me in mind of an omake I wanted to write for Bob's "DWII",
Chapter 12:

     "Then how about a policeman with a BIG gun?" growled a mechanical voice
from the patrol car.  There was a sound like a thousand vengeful
ratchets as the vehicle suddenly seemed to "unfold" into a blocky robot
standing nearly ten meters tall, still wearing an ADP paint scheme...
and holding a gun that was proportionally even bigger than Leon's
Earthshaker.
     Leon hit the deck, mouth open and hands over his ears.
     When God stopped knocking on his skull, he stood up and rather shakily
dusted himself off.  "Thanks, Prowl."
     The Autobot's optics flickered in the way which Leon had come by
experience to associate with his use of vision enhancement as he stared
at something some distance past the ADP Inspector.  "Don't thank me yet,
Leon," his "other" partner replied grimly.  "She's coming back -- and
this time, she looks *mad.*"
