Nearing San Francisco, California Agent Burns geared up, putting a body armor and loading a Machine Gun on top of the Humvee. "Understood, commander Starscream. Good luck!" He then closed his comms and turned to his men. "Alright people, get ready and expect tall ugly bastards to attack us. Shoot everything big you see. If we get double crossed or things go south, backup is waiting." Flywheels landed with full force into the treeline, turning into his M1 Assault Breacher tank alt mode in the process. --- Las Vegas, Nevada "Lead the way then." Ultra Magnus replied as he reverted back to truck mode. "Are we going again?! Primus' skake!" Trailbreaker whined as he reverted back to his pick up. Ironhide followed suit. --- Warehouse, Colorado "You're no fun, little one." Tracks' holomatter spoke. --- Inside the Skipper, Mars "Affirmative." Barricade replied. He then did what he was told and explained everything to Blitzwing. "Ok... But I want to crush something, at least." Brawl replied.
Crashed Nemesis, Mars Upon the third blip, Soundwave had had enough. He immediately contacted Onslaught. "Onslaught: prepare for potential hostiles. Onslaught: continue with mission. Soundwave: out." He drops the comm before Onslaught answered. There was a reason he didn't voice his concerns BEFORE the skipper had launched and that was to ensure Onslaught couldn't back out easily. Soundwave then contacted Megatron. "Lord Megatron: Urgent. Hostiles: May be approaching planet. Radar: showing irregularities. Soundwave: continues close monitoring." Pirate Cargo ship, Space near Mars As soon as all his mechs were aboard, Geargrind closed the door and hit launch. As the speared toward the red planet they passed by a smaller ship launching into space from the red planet. Geargrind contacts Klaxa "Looks like somebody might be after your part of the looting. Just saw skipper launch past us. Feel free to shoot it down." He then begins the descent of his own ship on to the red surface below. "Looks like there will be survivors for you to play with after all Gordus." Pirate Frigate Ship, Space near Mars A pirate with a band across his helm, cables loosely hanging from his head, and bits and bobs of adorning gold on his chasis leans in to Klaxa's personal space. "I'm going to just bugger off to get the loot now while you play ace pilot, savvy?" This was Spare Rod and he transformed into a small mobile artillery. He wielded two pistols commonly and was a sureshot. But he was much more interested in getting wealthy then killing survivors. Treeline... Somewhere "Understood." answers Thundercracker as he landed at the treeline that Starscream had spoken of. Las Vegas, Nevada "Yeah... tried to make mine useful earlier, but it turned out transforming had a more immediate effect on scaring off troublesome humans then any holoavatar." grins Sideswipe. "It was very satisfying watching those scraplets run." He then overhears what Verity says and frowns. "She better not convince Ultra Magnus to make us change our forms...." Bud and Coby's house, Colorado Bud lifts the window and slides inside. He peers around to see if there were any signs of mom or dad being in here. Abandoned factory warehouse, Colorado "Yes, right there..." Ratchet sets it down with the others. As he steps back a bit a crate crunches near him and a large black blurr shoots out. "Reooooooooooooooowr! It's a large black cat and it darted right toward Mirage! In the confusion Ratchet blurts out stupidly "Ravage?!"
Aboard Skipper 4 "Heads up everyone, we have unwanted company inbound!" Onslaught said as he received the communication from Soundwave, as he readied his blaster and attached the boosters Blitzwing had provided. "Blitzwing, you exit first and ensure we can exit without being bombarded by enemy fire first. Brawl, Barricade? You do what you both do best: wreck their day." he said. "I'll stay behind on the ship to make sure we have a link to the ground if needed. Now scrap 'em," Onslaught ordered, as he moved to take control of the skipper. Las Vegas, Nevada "Yeah. Much as I love the attention, the stares are more than enough. And its so cramped, I feel like something pops every time I change form," Sunstreaker grumbled. Utah, on the I-15 Hound made his way south, following the path until he turned east and headed over to Colorado.
San Francisco The soldiers exited as Jazz and Anarchy fought each other. Jazz went over to one of the Vehicons, and kicked him in the face. "HEY CON! HEADS UP!!!" Jazz tossed him at Anarchy. Anarchy simply extended his claws forwards, and batted the poor rookie to the side. "Think again Autobot Trash! You're gonna suffer real well under my- AGHHHHH!!!" Anarchy was pelted with Armor Piercing bullets, and got a Grenade to the face. "SLAGGING HUMAN SCUM!!!" He pivoted, and slammed his Claw down, crushing a couple of Police Cruisers, and sending a SWAT van flying. More SWAT members started to fire at him. Jazz threw a thumbs up at them. He then jumped under, and kicked under Anarchy again, sending him tumbling into a Tree. Anarachy growled. "SLAGGER!!!" He barrelled forwards, throwing some adjacent telephone poles to the side, and he jumped on top of Jazz, and the two went tumbling down the hill. Jazz looked at the Human Military Jeeps arriving. "Oh good, the cavalry's here." --- Adjacent Street A lot of soldiers looked in surprise as a mass of metal came tumbling down the hill into the now vacant street. "INCOMING FAST, 6 O'CLOCK!!!" The giant blurr of tan and White smashed right into the middle of the convoy, into one of the tanks, and causing a small explosion, sending the two bots flying outwards. Anarchy landed on the street, and Jazz on the other end near a building. Jazz slowly got up, shaking his head. "Ugh, not doin' that again, that's for sure..." Anarchy emerged, energon leaking from his mouth. "OH THERE'S PLENTY MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM!!! COME GET SOME YOU PUNK!!!" Jazz quickly ducked down and behind the building, before firing his blaster at Anarchy. One of the soldiers with Fowler and his jeep looked on. "Sir, target ID'd! The one in tan has the Purple Insignia similar to the ones we've found on our flying friends!" He then aimed his turret at Jazz. "The white one has a new emblem on the doors... A Red symbol with wings on it!" Some SWAT members ran down the hills, firing at Anarchy. "So why are our boys firing at the Tan one?!" Another soldier that was with Burns grabbed his Rocket Launcher, before looking on at the two bots confused. "Sir, there's two of them... which one do we shoot at?!" --- Closeby... Spitfire tapped one of his arm panels, checking his Smoke Dispenser levels. Dreadwing walked forwards into the empty streets of San Francisco. "This place reminds me of Tarn the days before we liberated it from the Autobots..." He grabbed his Laser Cannon. "Alright, game plan. We split into two groups. I'll lead the first, Starscream will lead the second. We search the area, and meet up with our allies-" He was cut off by an explosion near where the Military Convoy was. "... never mind. We found out where our target is." --- Colorado Mirage jumped as Ratchet called out a familiar name. "RAVAGE?! WHAT?! WHERE?!" He looked on as a Black Cat ran under his feet. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! IT'S RAVAGE!!! SHOOT HIM SHOOT HIM!!!" Mirage pulled out his blaster and opened fire down near his feet, and turned around quickly. "After hiAAAAAGGGGGGHHH!" He slipped on an oil puddle left over from the truck he was using to move stuff previously, and fell straight onto his behind. He sat up slowly, rubbing his back. "Oooowwwwwwwwwwwww......." --- Above Mars... Gordus pounded his arms against his chest in excitement. "ALRIIIIIGHT!! LET'S FRAGGING GOOOOOO!!!!"
San Francisco Fowler looked between the two giants in a fit of confusion. The one with the purple insignia he'd seen before on the other aliens was obviously acting far too aggressively to not be considered hostile. So why was he wearing the same symbol as their allies? Unless...something was wrong here. "More's going on than we think," he muttered to himself. He looked around to spot Agent Burns, and spotted him. He rushed over to him. "Burns! Something stinks like a rotten corpse about this whole situation! I suggest we talk to the police and SWAT after this! For now? I think we need to ask our 'friends' why one of their own is trashing our city like a berserker, and why the SWAT seem to have sided with the other one! And if my gut is right, I worry we've messed up on a colossal scale," he finished.
I-80, Wyoming "It's not your fault. You simply didn't know. As Bumblebee said before getting upset, our cultures are relatively similar. And you know what corruption does to a person, let alone politics." Cliffjumper replied. --- Near San Francisco, California Skywarp descended towards tye treeline and transformed. "What's the plan, Starscream?" --- Outside, Mars "Then, I'm glad to have more hands on board. Take a blowtorch or a saw and scavange the debris. We're looking for anything functional or usable." Knockout replied. Runabout dug out a fusion cell buried in the red surface. "Found a fusion cell. It's a big one." he held it with both of his arms. --- Las Vegas, Nevada Verity took control of Arcee's steering wheel and drove down the block. After 15 minutes or so, they neared an abandoned construction site. It was near the end of Las Vegas, overseeing the nearby hills. "This was to be the next big hotel, which is a big further away from any civilization. It has a huge underground level, which is tall enough for you boys. I think it was to be a swimming pool or something but it's huge and flat. Like a big empty room." she explained. "I think they understood, no need to delve deeper." Jimmy replied, not understanding that he just made a pun. Verity sighed, hearing the pun. "Hey Prowl," she began anew "do you know that your disguise is really obvious?" "No. What?!" he was shocked. "Here in the USA, we don't have police 350z nor are they with japanese decals." "I stumbled upon a warehouse with such cars in it and scanned one." "We should go out and get you something less conspicuous." "Hey big guys, do you have limit in what you can scan or how much? Also can you save stuff you have scanned for later?" Jimmy asked.
Skipper, Space Barricade loads a gun. "Get ready. "Finally!" Brawl exclaimed. --- Space "Klaxa understands, over and out." he then turned to the pirates around him "Boys, we have company. Leave no witnesses. Slice and dice!" Klaxa finally noticed the incoming shuttle on the radar. --- Las Vegas, Nevada Ironhide stopped in front of the chained fence and transformed. "Since this place belongs to nobody, it's ours now, let's get in!" He hopped over it and walked towards the unfinished building, which was six stories high and with only the concrete skeleton finished. Trailbreaker and Ultra Magnus transformed too. "Sideswipe, you'll escort and help Trailbreaker locating energon. Sunstreaker, Ironhide and Arcee, you'll help me organize and set up this place. Verity will show Prowl around and help him get a better disguise to fit in. Because he's violating Paragraph 4 of Article 14. Jimmy, if you're going to help us with maintenance, do you need anything specific that Prowl and Verity could get you? Any tools or parts in particular?" Ultra Magnus gave away the different orders to his men. --- San Francisco, California ((When did the military get there?)) "Take down the one that's in sight. Aim for the head!" Burns ordered, looking through his binoculars. "Fowler calm the fuck down! I have reinforcements from Area 51 on stand-by. Mantas ((as established in a previous post)) will come if this shit goes south and will obliterate every single last one of them." he replied to him on the intercom.
Mars Megatron grabs a saw and begins to cut the debris looking for more parts when he recieved the message from Soundwave. His optics narrow as his fusion cannon glows "Prepare for battle, Soundwave informed me that hostiles are coming." Coby&Bud House, Colorado Coby runs in behind Bud and lifts his finger to his lips "Shhh." He notices the sound of the TV downstairs on. He cracks open the door and hears it is a news cast. "... robots invading our planet? Stay tuned after these messages to find out." The anchorwoman states in an over the top fashion. Coby's eyes widen "Oh no..." He tosses Bud a spare set of clothes, Coby is so glad he placed them there due to last time they adventures. He then changes himself so he doesnt look all dusty. Walking out of his room, Coby tip toes around to the stairs as he hears his mother. "If that news is right then we should try to contact Marcus. He was always big into this topic." She then notices Coby and smiles. "Breakfast is almost ready, go get your brother for me please."
"Not really a history" shrugs Lori. "Just shared some classes at school." She then shot an angry look at Tracks. "And who brought a war to another planet?" she asked, intimidatingly. Streetwise points his gun, before sighing and putting it back away. "It's just an organic creature" he sighs. Bluestreak hums to the music outside. --- Marcus sighs. "Hopefully we can catch up to him" he says. --- "We move out and destroy the Autobot" said Starscream, running through the forest. --- Ravage nods and produces a data slug from a hatch on his back. Runamuck takes the saw out of the box before "accidentally" dropping the box onto Knock Out's foot again. "Whoops!" He then began sawing off a dislodged beam. --- Blitzwing transforms into his fighter mode and flies about a bit to draw some fire away from their skipper.
Frigate Ship, Space by Mars "Slicing? Sounds like my kind of fight." drawls the second mech left in Klaxa's care. His name iss Rotorro and he is a green helicopter mech with sizeable blades. He is capable of dicing mechs with two swords in a hand and one in his dentals. He sedately walks out with the equally lazy Spare Rod. They strap on boosters and exit the airlock. Rotorro takes toward the front of the ship and takes place behind the cannons, waiting for any mechs that might make it through Klaxa's guns and toward their ship. "You have fun with that..." mutters Spare Rod as he instead takes a booster flight out toward the debris field. Let the others do all the work. Crashed Nemesis, Mars The radar fully shows the shuttle now descending on the planet. Soundwave immediately lets loose a volley of cannon shots at the shuttle. One hits the side but whoever is piloting the ship is talented enough to avoid the rest. Soundwave watches as it descends a distance away behind a red hill near the rear of the ship. Soundwave contacts Megatron. "Hostiles: located behind largest hill near back of ship. Distance: approximately 45 meters from location." Shuttle, Mars "Well, we know at least someone is manning the cannons of that wreck!" Geargrind states as he lands and opens the door. "There were also some moving bodies near the side of back half of the ship." He steps out of the shuttle and begins issuing orders. "Gordus, Ferak, and myself will hug the perimeter. Fauxy? You get inside and kill whoever was shooting at us." "Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes!!!" cackles Fauxy as he transforms into a deformed fox and scampers around and to the left of the red hill toward the ship Geargrind readies his guns. "I'll take point." He hugs the surface of the hill and begins slowing skirting around it toward the ship from the right side of the hill. Las Vegas, Nevada "Scrap! We're getting left behind!" Sideswipe transforms and takes off after the others. When they arrive at the chainlink fence, he transforms, and hears Ultra Magnus's orders. "What?! Why can't Sunstreaker go with me to find Energon? Trailbreaker is so slow! He's better for lifting!" Colorado "Oh..." exhales Ratchet as he comes to his senses, but not before the 'Ravage' attempts to climb up Landmine's leg to 'safety'. "Interesting that even the organics can look so similar to our builds." Coby and Bud's House, Colorado Bud quickly changes and runs down the stairs. "I'm heeeeeeeere!" He sits down at the dining table and rubs his puffy eyes. Forest... somewhere Thundercracker silently follows Starscream's lead and takes off running from a few meters away on Starscream's left. He keeps his gun ready to shoot when necessary.
San Francisco Fowler frowned. "Fine. But you'd better be ready to ask why the SWAT team is helping one side, and our so-called 'allies' are wearing the same symbol as the one trying to demolish them," he responded, taking cover behind one of the Humvees. Outer Space, Skipper 4 Onslaught deftly dodged the cannon fire from below. Las Vegas "Hey, wait up!" Sunstreaker said as he transformed and followed his brother over to the newfound base. He found himself agreeing with Sideswipe. "Yeah, there's gotta be some energon around here that we can scout out! And faster!" he said.
Colorado "I didn't want to be dragged into this war either but was made to. Don't be sassy, that's my job!" Tracks replied to Lori. --- Forest near San Francisco, California Flywheels followed Starscream in his tank alternate mode. --- Frigate Ship, Space "We'll kill 'em first and then grab the loot!" Klaxa took out his arm-mounted blades. --- Pirate Shuttle, Mars The white and pink mech, known as Ferak, looked furious and he was twitching. The problem with him was that he was once a fighter, who suffered a tragic incident, that scarred him for life. It made him as fierce as a wild animal, always mad and realy realy dangerous. --- Las Vegas, Nevada ((@TFan2013 it was Ultra Magnus' orders, not Ironhide's)) "It's not who's fastest or slowest, it's who has the energon detector and who doesn't. Trailbreaker is the only one within us, who has it buit-in." Ultra Magnus explained. "Therefore I'll have to be our field agent." Trailbreaker sighed and transformed. --- San Francisco, California "This part of the city should be evacuated from any civilians and non military personel, why is the SWAT here?" Burns asked.
San Francisco, California The group of seekers would eventually emerge from the forest to find the sprawling city of San Fransisco. Dreadwing continued in the direction he has seen the small explosion. "This way, our allies are presumably off this way." Spitfire nodded, following after Dreadwing. Spitfire turned to Starscream. "So, what should we do about the Autobot? Do we kill them or disable them and capture them?" --- Jazz shot his blaster, and saw the other Vehicon come down the hill. He slapped Anarchy on the head. "Stop causing the mindless destruction, it's not necessary! We're fighting an Autobot now, take your Anger out on him!" Anarchy growled, before tearing his back claws into the Vehicon and tearing his spark out. "NO ONE TELLS ME WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT DO!!!" He barreled forwards past the humvees, knocking some down, and straight into Jazz. Jazz kicked him off, and used his grapple up to the top of a building. "Seriously man, you need to chill. You realize you just killed one of your guys, right?" Anarchy dug his hands into the building, and started to climb it "AND WHAT OF IT?!" One of the soldiers looked at the dead Vehicon Trooper, and the symbol on it's arms. "Fowler! Look at this! I think the Tan one might have gone rogue!" --- Mirage rubbed the back of his head. "Ow... next time be sure that it's Something to be wary of... Slag that hurt." --- Gordus charged after Geargrind. "Come on, we don't have all day you fraggers! Come out and face us like men!"
Landmine shakes his leg to get the organic off him. "Eww" he says. Streetwise goes to catch the cat. "Careful Landmine!" he yells. "It's still a living being!" "Oh yeah?" smirks Lori. "Try me!" Bluestreak continued listening to music outside. --- Swinging around, Blitzwing begins coming around the back of the ship, and begins pelting it with cryogenic missile, hoping that he might be able to force the engines to cool down to the point non-functionality. --- Starscream starts using his engines to hover just off the ground to progress faster. "Flywheels, aim at the Autobots and make some long range shots on the Autobots in tank mode before joining us in the field." he orders. "Some early shots can help us. Spitfire, try to keep him alive. Maybe he knows where his allies are." A visor then slid over Starscream's eyes, allowing him to zoom him. "I make out... Jazz" Starscream says, observing. "Yes, I owe him from grounding me on Hydrus Two. And... FRAG! Anarchy." Skywarp flew close behind Starscream. "That fucker?" he asked. "If anyone's gonna screw this ruse, it'll be him." Starscream snarled out loud, producing a snigger from Skywarp. "We have to get in there fast" Starscream orders. "We can't afford a slow, stealthy approach if Anarchy destroys the city. When we get there, someone restrain the moron." Getting close enough to firing range, Starscream and Skywarp began pelting Anarchy and Jazz with light fire.
Typewriter factory warehouse, Colorado "Reeeeeeeowr!" The cat is quickly dislodged from its slippery metal perch and lands into Streetwise's its hands. It shakes its head stunned at impact. It blearily looks up at Streetwise's face. "It makes me wonder how many more smaller developed organics may be lurking about this place. I know the Cy-rats in Iacon could reek havoc on infrastructure whenever they chewed through wires." He looked about the room. "May be best to ensure our equipment is properly sealed once we set it up." He steps over to the wooden crates he had stepped on earlier to see if anything of value was in them. Las Vegas, Nevada ((@CyberRavager Just remember there's no naturally occurring Energon on Earth. That's why the emergency vaults that were launched from the Autobot's ship are so important.)) Sideswipe tsks and transforms. "Sorry Bro. Next time." He drives up alongside Trailbreaker. "I was reading the organics pull you over and fine you if you drive to slow, Trailbreaker. Just saying." San Francisco forest edge, California "Out of those of us unassigned, Dreadwing has the strongest armor. He should restrain Anarchy." points out Thundercracker. He then nods at Dreadwing. "Sir." Pirate Frigate Ship, Space near Mars Rotorro noticed Klaxa had stopped firing as the Skipper ship got too close. "Let's do this..." He suddenly launches himself from the Frigate and on to the top of Decepticons Skipper. He activates magnet boots and launches a hook into the surface of the ship to secure himself before slamming his swords down into the roof. Rotorro carves out a chunk of the roof and flings it into space. Peering down he comms into the ship. "Knock knock. Deactivation is here." Debris field, Space near Mars Spare Rod begins collecting valuable debris in a silicon net. He keeps an optic out at the fight near the front of their pirate ship. If need be, he would snipe from a distance. No point collecting loot if the escape ship was gone. Mars surface, Mars Geargrind rolls his optics in his head as Gordus refuses to understand the concept of stealth and scouting. Geargrind peers around the dust hill for a few seconds to snap a photo and then ducks back to cover. He reviews it and makes plans. "Alright we have many survivors to kill mechs. Ferak rip apart the scrawny red one in a blitz, shock attack before ripping into the smaller white one ((Runamuck)). I'll be taking on the black one ((Runabout)). If I finish before you, I'll help you kill the white one. Gordus, you get the pleasure of taking on the large silver tank former." Geargrind didn't catch Ravage in his photo. "Alright! Move out!" Geargrind quickly runs out of cover and shoots where he lost saw Runabout in the photo. Before taking cover behind a closer small crater lip. He transforms and charges at the battle charger in his artillery form while shooting the various cannons on it. Crashed Nemesis, Mars Fauxy infiltrates the ship and begins slinking about in the vents. Soundwave watches the pirates launch their attack on Megatron and crew and is about to join them when an alarm goes off. He checks the cameras to see a grinning Fox like mechanoid with a mangled looking jaw scampering in the vents.
Skipper Onslaught didn't bother with a response, and instead spun around to unleash a blast from his Sonic Stun Gun, its frequency set to cause a horrible disorientation upon the struck target, aiming right for Rotorro. "Sorry, but I'm not gonna die to some scum-of-Cybertron pirates," he said as he maneuvered towards the open hole, activating the magnets within his feet to keep him grounded to the ship. San Francisco As Fowler listened to the crazed robot's ramblings, his gut began to scream that something was wrong about this whole ordeal. Since Burns seemed more intent on just destroying them if things went south, Fowler decided to take command. "For now we support the SWAT teams! If this comes back to bite us, I will take full responsibility!" he shouted. The soldiers obeyed, and began to aid the SWAT and police, firing upon Anarchy while trying to avoid Jazz.
Las Vegas, Nevada Prowl nodded and transformed. "Can you find me something fast but from the same design?" he asked. "Can't you just scan the livery of a police car and apply it to your body? That will be easier to do than finding you a better ride." Verity said as she got in Prowl. Arcee walked to Ironhide and Sunstreaker. "We'll make this home, it will work. We can make it work." --- I-80, Wyoming "He's up ahead, no worries. Chill and eat your food." Cliffjumper replied. Up ahead Bumblebee was rapidly overtaking cars. --- Outside, Mars "Everyone find cover!" Knockout shouts, dropping everything in the process and taking out his gun. "Someone's coming, someone's coming!" Runabout stated cheerfully "We're gonna fight bro!!!"
Colorado, bud and Coby's house Their mother smiles as she sees the obviously tired boys and puts eggs down in front of them. "There is bacon on the counter if you want some, make sure to share." She says with a smile as she goes to clean the dishes. Their father begins to walk to the door. "Meet you at the site hun. And boys, remember no partying while we are at work." He jokes "But dad, all the cool kids have parties." Coby jokes "Ah, but you are smart and smart kids dont party without their parents" The father says as he leaves "See you guys later." Coby waves as his father leaves. --- Colorado, warehouse area Hot Shot smiles as he begins to drive around. "She definitely fits with the group, right Tracks?" Mars Megatron turns towards the source of the attack and fires his fusion cannon at the source. "Do you idiots know who you have messed with?"
"I... might keep this around" said Streetwise as he looked the cat. "You, umm, might find it comes in handy." Landmine just gave Streetwise a look and rolled his eyes. He then walks over to Ratchet and tears he lid off a sealed one. "There's some spare tyres in this one, if anyone has the same size wheels as a truck" he said. "Prime or Magnus might, if we find them" said Streetwise, still staring at the cat. Bluestreak was still humming to the music, his holomatter avatar tapping its fingers on the dashboard to the tune. Lori gave a smug look at Tracks. --- Starscream snarled as he saw the soldiers firing on Anarchy. He immediately gets on his comms. "Agent Burns, explain why you are firing on one of my soldiers AND NOT THE AUTOBOTS?" he says angrily. ((@CyberRavager )) ---- "If you say so" sighs Marcus, opening one of the sandwiches. This particular one was bacon, lettuce and tomato. As he bit into it, a small bit of lettuce fell out the other side, falling onto the floor. "Sorry" Marcus said with a full mouth. --- "PARTY TIME, MOTHER FRAGGERS!" Runamuck yells, drawing his axe, and bolting out the exit. Getting outside, Runamuck fired one of his wrist rockets at whichever pirate was in range of it. Ruckus would soon run out. "WHERE'S THE FIGHT?" Ruckus asked. Runamuck pointed at the incoming pirates. "YES" he yelled excitedly, and his shoulder-mounted particle cannons flipped out of his back, firing on the pirate shuttle. Ravage begins firing his shock repeaters next to Megatron, making sure nobody could get the jump on the Decepticon leader. Blitzwing got up close to one of the pirate frigate's engines, transforming and drew his sword, stabbing it into one of the engines, and slowly pulling it down it.
Skipper, Space near Mars Rottoro dodges the blast and surges forward with his twin blades to slice into Onslaught's torso. Debris field, Space near Mars Spare Rod notices from his safe perch among the treasure that one of the survivors was ripping into their lovely Frigate! "Nah Matey... you aint' doing that. Not my lovely Black Prize ship." He zeroes in his head scopes toward Blitzwing and fires both his high powered pistols repeatedly toward the mech. Field, Mars Geargrind takes advantage of Runabouts slow reaction time to shoot into him and run him over. "Ferak! Move your aft! Watch it Gordus! That one has a fusion cannon!" He curses as he sees the white mech bypassing the fight and firing into their shuttle. Geargrind had overestimated Ferak's speed in disposing mechs. Crashed Nemesis, Mars Soundwave grabs a nearby flashlight he had used while working on the ship consoles internals and walks slowly to the edge of the vent to the control room. As soon as he hears the Fox mech get close enough, he flashes repeatedly the light in his face. "WHA?!" cries Fauxy disoriented before Soundwave pops a grenade and throws it in. He steps away and a giant BOOOM! Follows. Warehouse, Colorado Ratchet pushes the slightly ajar lid the next crate over and discovers... miniature versions of the black cat. There were two little black kittens, one brown striped kitten and one large grey and white kitten. "Well this isn't useful." The black cat haunches down low in Streetwise's palm. It was clearly scared. Coby and Bud's House, Colorado Bud quickly digs in and says with a mouthful. "Buyyyye Daaaaaahd!" He tries to grab most of the bacon for his own plate. San Francisco, California Thundercracker mutters. "Knew these fleshies couldn't be trusted."
