...his arms teetering back and forth like a frail seesaw as he scrounged for spare parts or discarded energon beverages not quite finished. Most days brought limited success; today was no exception.

Fulcrumm navigated the maze of alleys and sewers with ease; the network of above and underground passages was forever etched in his memory. He steadied himself as a familiar passage shook; not since the planetary reformatting had he felt such force! Beams and panels toppled around him, threatening to bury him whole. The shaking didn't last long, thankfully, and when the dust cleared, he noticed a panel he hadn't before, hanging by one bolt. It was too large to pry away with his weak frame, but he found it had been knocked askew enough for him to squeeze through. Once in, dim optics lit the way as he navigated unfamiliar territory. He turned suddenly, as an unusual shadow caught his eye. His beams slowly travelled across the rippling pools(he was still getting used to the prescence of water) and up the wall, illuminating what he had noticed peripherally. Fulcrumm was stunned.

He never expected to find the body.
