  • Groove gestures to Blades and heads over to the collapsed wall, setting to work clearing away bricks for what seemed like the umpteenth time. "More holes? Man, hold off, you might end up trashin' even more walls. Things are unstable enough as it is," he murmurs to Nosecone. Blades has no technical abilities of his own, and as a result his presence is mostly limited to providing on sight support for the other technicians repairing the damaged defenses. "Eh, I think this is the spanner that you were asking for." The Protectobot's aerial warrior raises an outstretched hand, with a small human sized hydrospanner on the tip of his palm, to an EDC technician that's busy patching things up. "You ain't kidding, Groove." Windshear has arrived. Robot Windshear transforms into a Cybertronian pyramid/Tetrajet. Blueshift sweeps in, a streak of blue (but not a Bluestreak) in the sky, as he descends from above, scanning the Autobots and their broken defenses. "Hah, ripe for the picking!" he cries. "Redshift, I shal kill more than yo-ARGH!" He wheels about in the sky slightly as he sees Nosecone. "Is... is... is that a DRILLTANK? So the rumours were TRUE!" The blue devil darts down, lasers unleashing in the direction of Nosecone. "Die drilltank die! I shall mount your drill on my wall!" Combat: Blueshift sets his defense level to Neutral. Combat: Blue Spaceship strikes Cybertronian Drill with his Laser attack! Oh, gosh, and someone IS attacking the city! Indeed, the Decepticons are here--first as a swarm of specks approaching the city with deadly intent! And leading the charge is none other than Galvatron! "SEE Decepticons?" Galvatron says, pointing at the Autobots as they scramble to repair their defenses. "They're having a little trouble KEEPING IT TOGETHER, aren't they!? Hmhahahaha!" Galvatron directs his attention to a wall, which is collapsing by Rodimus Prime. "Ah, excellent, their shoddy workmanship has opened a breach in their fortifications! FOLLOW ME!" And so Galvatron slams down onto the street just in front of Rodimus Prime and his shattered wall... only to find the ground giving way under his feet! "Wha--GYAH!!!" Galvatron screams as he falls under the street. This is soon followed by the sound of multiple detonations. The Global Pose Tracker marks that Galvatron has 'skipped' his action for this round. Starfighter is flying high in the sky in direction of Alphabet City. Once the city falls he will make sure that it renamed into something less complicated... another reason to hate those militants. Today the city is going to fall, the autobots cheated them from their rightful victory long enough but this times. Slowly, the cybertronian starfighter descends towards the city, scanning the autobot defenses and easily spotting the weak point. "You heard lord Galvatron! ATTACK!" The Global Pose Tracker marks that Starfighter has 'skipped' his action for this round. Combat: Cyclonus sets his defense level to Guarded. Tetrajet is flying toward the city as well. He has fought several times over this city and by Primus, this time, hes going to be there when the Decepticons finally claim it. He hears Cyclonus' order and dives downward bringing his weapons online to attack. Combat: Tetrajet misses Rodimus Prime with his Laser attack! Nightbeat's last pose: Muzzle is sick of Mexican MREs that date back to the Benefactor-Militant conflict, but he's here, and Nightbeat's here. When the wall collapses, Muzzle and the blue Porsche at least /look/ surprised, though with Nightbeat's sense of hearing, it's doubtful that either of them really were surprised. His hearing also alerts the detectve duo that the /white/ Porsche is off to help Rodimus Prime. Muzzle looks over at his blue Porsche, and with a nod, they transform back into Nightbeat alone. Might be handy to not be a car and a little dude, if things are collapsing. Blades's last pose: Blades has no technical abilities of his own, and as a result his presence is mostly limited to providing on sight support for the other technicians repairing the damaged defenses. "Eh, I think this is the spanner that you were asking for." The Protectobot's aerial warrior raises an outstretched hand, with a small human sized hydrospanner on the tip of his palm, to an EDC technician that's busy patching things up. "You ain't kidding, Groove." Spaceship moves down through the air like a dart, the sleek aerodynamic space vessel on a flanking wing of the decepticon attack force lead by the mighty Galvatron. Glory days, it's The Boss himself. A chance to prove himself to the brass in a more glorious fashion than mining moon dirt. The call to attack issued and then echoed, Fragment grunts in satisfaction and replies, "With pleasure." He spots the little red and blue guy with no neck and penchant for misery. "I wouldn't bother rebuilding that wall, you're being evicted!" Fragment opens fore with his gravel gun atop his weapon array. Combat: Fragment sets his defense level to Aggressive. Among the swarming Decepticon forces is a small red spacecraft, darting quickly around the slower jets and other slow things. Redshift peels away from the pack, dipping down low and skimming above the tops of the buildings, sensors scanning for a target. Not too big, not too small... Someone he can crush without being so weak there's no challenge. Blades? Never fought Blades before. The red ship dives in, lasers firing, a rapid-fire burst of poorly aimed beams, before Redshift peels away and pulls up. Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Guarded. Combat: Red Spaceship misses Blades with his pewpewpew (Laser) attack! BOTS! Rodimus Prime looks over at Nosecone. "Well, some trip-hazards would work, but all Decepticons fly - I'm not sure actual pits would wo-" and then Galvatron falls into one. Rodimus stares. Then he looks back at Nosecone and says, "Yes, more holes. Lots of ho- oh, never mind," he cuts himself off as he sees that Nosecone is under attack. Upon hearing the approaching jet, he automatically dives and rolls, avoiding the shot he didn't even see coming. He finishes on one knee, other leg bent, and lifts his left arm to point at Windshear. "Pretty bold for a nameless Seeker, but you've just bitten off WAY more than you can chew!" he says, firing from his pipes. Combat: Rodimus Prime sets his defense level to Guarded. Combat: Rodimus Prime misses Tetrajet with his Arm Blasters attack! [Pulled -3] Spaceship moves down through the air like a dart, the sleek aerodynamic space vessel on a flanking wing of the decepticon attack force lead by the mighty Galvatron. Glory days, it's The Boss himself. A chance to prove himself to the brass in a more glorious fashion than mining moon dirt. The call to attack issued and then echoed, Fragment grunts in satisfaction and replies, "With pleasure." He spots the oddly colored Protectobot. "I wouldn't bother rebuilding that wall, you're being evicted!" Fragment opens fore with his gravel gun atop his weapon array. Combat: Spaceship strikes Groove with his Gravel Gun (Pistol) attack! Nosecone is about to transfrom and drill some holes when Blueshift attacks him. "Oh, it's that Anti-Drilltank guy from Crystal City," he says, "Well then, take this, for your bigotry! We drilltanks are a hard-working lot!" Raising his X-ray pistol, he pops off a few shots at the slippery blue spacecraft. Unfolding and shifting, Cybertronian Drill Tank takes the shape of a robot. Combat: Nosecone misses Blue Spaceship with his X-Ray Pistol attack! Jazz watches the incoming decepticon arrive by air which was to be expected. He looks at the targets to see if he can piss off Motormaster faster than last time but alas he probably stayed home where it's safe. Jazz takes aim at the very easy to spot Cyclonus and fires off a quick shot. Combat: Jazz strikes Starfighter with his Disruptor attack! First Aid runs for cover as the Decepticons launch their attack. The doctor evades several stray Seeker-lasers, but to his luck nobody targets him directly. Briefing using a still-standing wall for support, First Aid draws out his photon pistol. Ok, he reminds himself, this is all part of the plan. No need to worry. Still, there are EDC technicians in the area, and First Aid rushes out from his cover and scoops up a woman in an EDC mechanics fatigues who had been running for cover. "My apologies for the quick pick-up, ma'am, but I think we'll both be in better shape together." First Aid skids to a halt behind another still-standing wall. Combat: First Aid sets his defense level to Protected. Beams of tremendous firepower begins raining down around certain areas of the base, and the various non-combatants quickly scramble away from the forward defenses around the areas affected. A few dozens of meters away from the area being attacked sits a team of EDC technicians who are accompanied by the Protectobot's resident angry bot, Blades. The group leader of the EDC technician pushes back his hardhat slightly as he wipes the sweat off of his forehead before looking down towards Blades, "Looks like they're right on time. I think it's a good time for us to start moving out as well, Blades." The Protectobot nods in response, "Eeesh, yeah that sounds about right. Hey look, I don't know if the others have said this yet, but I just want to know I appreciate you EDCs folks lending us a helping hand again, eh." Blades extends up a hand forward and receives the trio of EDC technicians and begins to clear the area as well when all of the sudden the familiar high pitched whine of space engines alerts the Protectobot to an oncoming attack. "Smeg, they're already here! Hang tight!" The Protectobot covers his hand protectively and leaps forward towards the ground, shoulder first, and rolls back onto his feet. The pair of laser bolts digs deep into the ground where he used to be. "I'm making a run for it folks!" Blades begins sprinting towards the planned point of exit designated for the EDC technicians, ducking into various obstacles as often as possible to try to shake off any further attacks. Combat: Blades sets his defense level to Protected. Combat: Blades takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass] Groove scrambles out of the way as the enraged blue spaceship opens fire on Nosecone. Instinctively, he places himself between the nearest Decepticon, and any EDC volunteers that were around, hand going for his pistol. "Let's get the humans out of- ARGH!" A nice stream of high powered asteroid chunks hits him head-on, making him stagger. It takes him a moment to locate Fragment. He attempts to provide some covering fire for the EDC folk, and his Protectobuddies. Combat: Groove strikes Spaceship with his Laser attack! CONS! Tetrajet tips up on his side and evades the return fire from the Autobot he targeted. "Nameless?" he rasps, "Not hardly. The names Windshear and I love a challange, Autobot." He tilts to the side and banks in toward Rodimus full afterburner and fires again. Combat: Tetrajet misses Rodimus Prime with his Laser attack! Blueshift circles above the fight as he sees Redshift's efforts. "Hah Redshift, that is rubbish! You should go back to killing cassette tapes!" He darts about as he dodges to avoid Nosecone's X-Ray laser. "Ugh, this Autobot is trying to x-ray me, he is filthy! I am going to kill Rodimus Prime instead. Glory to Galvatron!" With that, he rockets down, wing tips gleaming as he heads towards Rodimus for a mortal strike! Combat: Blue Spaceship misses Rodimus Prime with his Wing Slice attack! Starfighter is distracted when Galvatron disappears into the ground, "My lord are..." before he can complete his sentence he is struck by Jazz's disruptor ray which force him to change his trajectory. "Bold move Autobot. You won't find in me a much tougher opponent than Zarak." The unicronian dives from the sky, right towards the Autobot special op. He swiftly transforms into his robot mode and aims his foot at Jazz while falling towards the ground. The starfighter unfold into the robot form of Cyclonus. Combat: Cyclonus sets his defense level to Aggressive. Combat: Cyclonus strikes Jazz with his Kick attack! Boom. Boom. BOOM. A series of muffled blasts appears to be working its way towards Rodimus Prime from underground. Could that be Galvatron, wading through a sewer system littered with mines? The answer comes soon enough when the tyrant, covered in carbon scoring from the multiple mines he hit, bursts free of the street, directly behind Rodimus! "WELP! Your pitiful traps are no match for the might of GALVATRON!" With an enraged scream, Galvatron tries to thrust something into Rodimus's chest. Is that--yes, that is one of the Autobots' own mines! "But here, perhaps they'll work on YOU a little bit better!" Combat: Galvatron misses Rodimus Prime with his MINED if I borrow this? attack! [Pulled -5] Spaceship spirals at the incomming laser fire, but is tracked by the Protectobot quickly enough that the blasts shear across his hull plating. Veering off attack strafe course, Fragment transforms to robot mode. A blaster appears in his hand as he touches down to the earth gingerly. The vehicle before you transforms, revealing the Decepticon soldier Fragment. Combat: Fragment sets his defense level to Guarded. Combat: Fragment takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass] "Those x-rays will fry your logic curcuits, Blueshift! So you have nothing to worry about!" Redshift quips back to his blue brother. The red and black ship tries to pursue Blades, but the Protectobot is ducking around too many obstacles on the ground, ruining Redshift's line of fire. "You can RUN, autobot, but you can't HIDE!" Not terribly clever, but appropriate. With Protectobots scrambling around under cover, Redshift decides to lay down some heavier firepower. He swoops in low, bomb bays opening to dispense with a hefty payload of hot burning death! Several fat firebombs drop down upon the Protectobots, busting in flashes of flames and burning phosophorous! Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Fearless. Combat: Red Spaceship strikes Groove with his Phosphorous Bombs Area attack! Combat: That attack has temporarily affected Groove's Accuracy. (Blinded) Combat: Red Spaceship misses Blades with his Phosphorous Bombs Area attack! Combat: Red Spaceship misses Nightbeat with his Phosphorous Bombs Area attack! Combat: Used up 1 WP_Bombs. 2 remain. Rodimus Prime leaps to his feet, avoiding Windshear's blast in the process. "Looks like you're plenty challenged as it is," he answers the Seeker cheerfully as he suddenly throws himself forward, ending flat on the ground in time to avoid Blueshift's sharpened wings. It's at this point that Galvatron bursts from the ground behind him. Rodimus is in the process of spinning around to face the new opponent when he finds something thrust at his chest. "As much as I appreciate the thought, I'm afraid I'm going to have to return your gift, Galvatron," he says, leaping back far enough to avoid it then kicking up, attempting to send the thing back towards Galvatron. Hopefully without blowing his own foot off. Combat: Rodimus Prime sets his defense level to Neutral. Jazz gets knocked back from the kick and stumbles down to one knee. "Bold move? Haha! You should see me when I /really/ do bold unexpected stuff." The Autobot CHARGES Cyclonus tries to grab his arm, twist and fling him onto a nearby pile of rubble. Not painful save for the ego. Combat: Jazz sets his defense level to Protected. Combat: Jazz sets his defense level to Guarded. Jazz gets knocked back from the kick and stumbles down to one knee. "Bold move? Haha! You should see me when I /really/ do bold unexpected stuff." The Autobot CHARGES Cyclonus tries to grab his arm, twist and fling him onto a nearby pile of rubble. Not painful save for the ego. Combat: Jazz misses Cyclonus with his Grab attack! Combat: Rodimus Prime strikes Galvatron with his Set Us Up The Bomb attack! [Pulled -3] Erm. Bots, by the way. Nightbeat's cunning detective intuition tells him to cover his optics as he hears Redshift dropping what /sound/ like blinding Phosphorous Bombs. After a moment, he turns his optics back on, safe for now, though being around Galvatron, Cyclonus, and a bunch of Decepticons in a falling-apart city is never safe! Granted, being around Galvatron and soft pillows also would not be safe. But since Redshift is the one bringing the rain, he tries to relay Redshift's SECRET WEAKNESS to First Aid. Combat: Nightbeat analyzes Redshift for weaknesses First Aid can exploit. First Aid sets the woman down near an EDC jeep. "Thanks!" she calls out, and First Aid gives her a quick nod. "Get going and don't look back. We'll hold the fort here!" The jeep tears off, and First Aid turns, jumping out of the way as Redshift's fire bombs drop down into the area, exploding and spewing flames in all directions. Tucking, rolling, and escaping the fires, First Aid stands upright again. He raises his right fist towards the air, "Thank you Nightbeat," he says as he takes careful aim and fires a thin red laser at the spaceship, trying to amputate his right wing. The secret weakness is that Red cannot fly if his wings have been hacked off. Thanks, Nightbeat. Thanks a lot. Combat: First Aid strikes Red Spaceship with his Surgical Laser (Laser) attack! Combat: You took 9 damage. Nosecone drats as the speedy little spaceship just proves too speedy. He'll worry about that later. For now, he transforms to drill tank mode and digs a hole! Another one for Galvatron to fall into? Combat: Nosecone sets his defense level to Protected. Groove would much rather be providing support rather than facing this Fragment fellow, and luckily for him, the 'con isn't being terribly aggressive. Seizing the brief pause in gunfire, he turns to dash after Blades, but is stopped in his tracks by Redshift's crazy flash bombs. Effectively blinded and a bit scorched, he remains still, waiting for his optics recover. No blind firing for him, he can't possibly risk friendly fire. <> Combat: Groove takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass] Folding and bending, Nosecone folds down into his Cybertronian Drill Tank form. Drills, away! Combat: Cybertronian Drill takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass] The muffled explosions in the distance is not lost upon Blades, who is now taking cover besides one of the Autobot's defense building walls, "Eeesh, here I thought the mines would've been useless. I wanted to argue with Red Alert about the logics of planting mines against enemies that's predominantly travels by air. Good thing I didn't, otherwise I'd be eating my words right about now." "Well it took us half a week to finally plant all those things. Some purple icon wearing dumbass better be stepping on them!" Surprisingly this comes out of the mouth of a thick glasses wearing EDC technician in Blades' hands. The other two EDC technicians agrees whole heartedly, nodding their heads. Too bad all four of these guys don't know that it was all for naught. As the various Decepticons air warriors finally pass by the area, Blades takes the opportunity to run out of cover and finally reaching the designated evacuation point for the EDC technicians. A heavily armoured shuttle sits on a runway, accepting the various evacuating human technicians on board. The Protectobot aerial warrior drops down his share of the EDC technicians onto the ground, "Well this is as far as it goes for you guys. I'll cover you guys as you clear the area." Hunkering down behind cover on the runway, Blades lies waiting, as the technicians continue to herd themselves aboard the shuttle. Combat: Blades takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass] CONS! Tetrajet growls at the insult from Rodimus and veers off as he sees Galvatron burst out of the ground near him. Fine, the Seeker looks around and sees some Autobots helping some germs. If you cant hit the Autobot, hit a germ, that always gets them. He proceeds to do a scraffing run on as many humans nearby as he can. If he hits, he hits, if he misses he will just have to turn around and do it again. He also takes a few shots at some of the autobots helping them along the way. Cyclonus doesn't even move when Jazz charges him. After all what could such a weak warrior do to him? "You are only good at backstabing Autobot." The decepticon second in command avoid Jazz's hold, deflecting it with his left arm. Using his right arm, he grabs Jazz's chest, stopping his course. He quickly follows up by attempting to left the autobot into the before slamming him into the ground. Combat: Tetrajet strikes Groove with his Laser attack! Combat: Cyclonus strikes Jazz with his Rock Bottom (Punch) attack! "I could hold back and...UGGGGH!" Blueshift wheels in the sky again as he misses Rodimus. "I preferred Optimus, he was bigger and slower, why can't you be bigger and slower!" he whines as he flies by. But then a horrifying sight enrages him - Rodimus hits Galvatron! "NOOOOO!" cries Blueshift as he sees his beloved master get pummeled. His wings lock forwards, and the brief shimmer of a forcefield appears around his front area as he blasts straight for Rodimus' head. "Let Lord Galvatron go, you MONSTER!" Combat: Blue Spaceship misses Rodimus Prime with his Full-Body Strike attack! Fragment finds safe footing and returns his full focus upon Groove.. who has moved, but not far. Taking his blaster in both hands, Fragment opens fire. "Sitting duck, dead duck." Combat: Fragment sets his defense level to Neutral. Combat: Fragment strikes Groove with his Laser blasts (Laser) attack! Galvatron stares in shock as the very same mine he tried to blow up Rodimus Prime with is instead kicked right back into his chest. "How DARE--AAGHHH!" He stumbles backwards into an alleyway, unaware of something going *twing* as he triggers a tripwire. Soon after, something pours down onto Galvatron's head, a white, sticky substance--WHICH IS GLUE, BY THE WAY--and the tyrant flies into a rage as his optics are covered in the stuff. "ERrrRRAARGGHHH! Where are you, Rodimus?! I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!" Blinded, he begins to fire his fusion cannon in random directions, but there's something odd about the beam. The beam branches out in multiple directions once it exits barrel in a manner strangely reminiscent of a tree. Hm, his cannon couldn't do that before... Combat: Galvatron strikes Rodimus Prime with his Fractal Fusion Cannon! ? Area attack! [Pulled -9] Combat: Galvatron misses Cyclonus with his Fractal Fusion Cannon! ? Area attack! [Pulled -9] Combat: Galvatron misses Blue Spaceship with his Fractal Fusion Cannon! ? Area attack! [Pulled -9] Red Spaceship pulls away, leaving patches of fiery destruction in his wake. A pity he only managed to hit Groove, but he's still got plenty more bombs to drop! As the red spacer comes around for another pass, a bright red beam lances upwards, slicing off much of Redshift's right wing like a hot knife through butter. The amputated sickle-like section goes flying off in one direction, while the rest of Reddshift starts to wobble erratically in the other! "ARG! That was my favorite WING!" Redshift snaps, transforming into his robot mode where he is far less dependant upon aerodynamic surfaces. his eyes scan around for the source of the surgical excision, and he spots FIRST AID! Hoevering in the air, Redshift takes aim at the pesky doctor-bot below, firing off a blast from his soloar-charged plasma rifle! The sleek red spacecraft transforms into the winged warrior Redshift. Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Guarded. Combat: Redshift misses First Aid with his Incinerator Rifle attack! [Pulled -5] BOTS! Nightbeat sees that the white Porsche is gamely taking on Cyclonus. Will Nightbeat just sit back and watch his boss get mauled by the huge and emotionless air-warrior? Nightbeat ducks behind a streetlamp, and he pulls out his tech spec decoder glasses. Cyclonus's weakness is... "he has no personality"? What kind of weakness is that? Nightbeat frowns sternly, but his attention is caught and he gapes a bit as he sees Galvatron's cannon beam branching like a tree. Uh. That is... not good. Combat: Nightbeat analyzes Cyclonus for weaknesses Jazz can exploit. First Aid begins sprinting immediately after sawing off part of Redshift's wing. He takes no satisfaction in hurting Redshift like this, but he can't afford to have more fire bombs get dropped on the area. "Well maybe next time you'll think better before you start attacking us unprovoked!" First Aid says. The solar-charged plasma bolt explodes just behind First Aid, leaving a small crater in its wake. Where is First Aid headed? To help out his buddy Groove of course. Skidding to a halt near his fellow Protectobot, First Aid again charges his surgical lasers. But this time they're set to seal up the cracks in Groove's armour and buy him more time on the battlefield. Combat: First Aid quickly patches up some of Groove's minor injuries. Rodimus Prime bows forward, letting Blueshift pass over him once again. "I tried the big and slow thing," he lies. "Didn't work out." He then straightens once more and laughs as Galvatron is covered with GLUE, but this proves to be a mistake as he's then blasted with the fractal fusion and knocked backwards, off his feet. He gapes at the bizarre way the beam behaves. "That... how is that even *possible*!?" he exclaims, then shakes it off and lunges back to his feet before falling forward into his vehicle mode. "No time to worry about that now," he adds, more to himself than anything else, before rolling forward, straight towards Galvatron... perhaps hoping to ram him into another trap? Rodimus Prime transforms into his Flamin' Winnebago mode. Combat: Flamin' Winnebago strikes Galvatron with his The Power attack! [Pulled -5] Jazz gets knocked back down on the ground thanks to Cyclonus's warrior skills "Only good at backstabbing? Coming from a Decepticon it sounds like a recruiting speech." The Autobot leaps away from the Decepticon commander as it would be suicide to stay this close. Got to change strategy. Adapt, survive, overcome. Watches as Cyclonus narrowly avoids a random blast from Galvatron at the same time some interesting data gets beamed to the Autobot's battle computer. "As a terran called Glenn Frey said... The HEAT IS ON!" Combat: Jazz sets his defense level to Aggressive. Groove naturally isn't doing too hot out there by himself, first getting a face-full of laser from Windshear, then Fragment. Thrown clear from the force of it all, he slowly tries to shuffle away from Fragment, with a shoulder seared and sparking. His vision slowly returns to him, so he takes the small window of opportunity to analyze the approaching Decepticon, and relay his findings to Blades. "Thanks 'Aid," he mumbles, staying quite still as he's worked on. Combat: Jazz strikes Cyclonus with his Flamethrower attack! Combat: Groove analyzes Fragment for weaknesses Blades can exploit. Cybertronian Drill bursts out of the ground suddenly, hoping to take someone by surprise! Disruptor bolts fire from the front of the drill tank. Now if only someone was in range... Combat: Cybertronian Drill misses Blue Spaceship with his Disruptor attack! Other Autobot gumbies takes over defending the armoured EDC shuttle as it begins loading up the last of its passengers. They fire desperately at the Decepticons air warriors zipping and zooming across the skies, leaving Blades to go on ahead out and do his thing. The Protectobot aerial warrior receives Groove's call for distress and mutters back into his radio. Shortly afterwards, Blades is pinged with all the sensory and other sorts of goodies that his fellow comrade has provided him with, including the location of where they are in relative to each other. Blades passes through several turns, ducks over a few broken debris, and finally pops out into the opening where Groove and First Aid is just in time to see his fellow team members being attacked. "Hey, hey! Shoot at something that can actually fire back will ya?" The Protectobot aerial warrior bellows as he raises his photon pistol and squeezes off a few shots at Fragment. Combat: Blades sets his defense level to Aggressive. CONS Combat: Blades misses Fragment with his Photon Beam Barrage (Laser) attack! Cyclonus is unaware that he's in Galvatron's line of fire and he's caugh off guard as the plasma beams strikes the ground only a few feet away from him. It's an angry Cyclonus that turns around and shouts, "Who dares to..." It's only then that he realizes who fired at him so he promptly shut up before Galvatron really decides to target him. That only distracted him for a second but that was enough for Jazz to burn him. The flames partially melt his back armor making him grunt in pain. In a single fuild movement, he draws his pistol, aims it back at Jazz and fires his laser towards the Autobot. Tetrajet sees his shot hit and banks back around to the target that is the Autobot who is helping Groove. Along the way of course hes blasting at humans and takes a shot or two at a couple of buildings. Bring them down will just add to the mayam, make it a proper battlefield then and possibly take out some germs while hes at it. Anything to annoy the Autobots. Combat: Tetrajet strikes First Aid with his Laser attack! "Uuuuuugh!" Blueshift misses Rodimus again, curving into the air to transform, and hovering there. His gun slides out of a hip compartment and magnetically attaches to his hand as he looks for targets. "Okay Redshift, this sucks. Let's go for a Special Team shooting contest!" He aims carefully at Groove and pulls the trigger! Combat: Cyclonus strikes Jazz with his Oxidizing Laser attack! [Pulled -2] The spaceship flips up into the handsome form of Blueshift Combat: Blueshift strikes Groove with his Speed Stealing Gun attack! Galvatron snarls as he tries to pull the glue off his face, "Just you wait, Rodimus Prime! You'll find out the secret of my FRACTAL GENERATOR soon enough! But by then, it will be too late!" Then Rodimus slams into him, and though he isn't hurt very much by the impact. Mostly, he's hit in the shins, and stumbles backwards. Unfortunately, SOMEONE put a hole into the very spot that Galvatron is stumbling into, and with a frustrated scream, Galvatron once again disappears into the depths of the city. Combat: Galvatron sets his defense level to Protected. Combat: Galvatron takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass] Fragment may be a Spaceball, but he's a Decepticon Spaceball. Meaning he can do more than monitor a radar or comb a desert. The ex-miner is also a budding martial artist. And the chivalrous audial announcement of intent from Blades is all he needs as a warning to reflexively leap-flips from where he was to different ground. "What fun is that, AutobraAHHHHH!" As he touches down the ground gives way under him, and Fragment plummets into a pitfall! Landing with a crash, he finds himself alone in the hole along with a note. He picks it up and reads with his glowing purple optics in the dark. "Spikes... spikes?" Combat: Fragment takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass] Redshift gives Blueshift a quick thumbs-up as Blueshift uses his special speed-stealing gun on Groove. Redshift's gaze falls on Blades, who seems to be distracted by that boring gray guy. So! Redshift takes aim with his rifle, switching it into FLAMETHROWER MODE, and spraying big gouts of fire down on the helicopter bot. Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Fearless. Combat: Redshift misses Blades with his Flamethrower attack! BOTS! First Aid pulls back away from Groove, "Ok, you're good to go! Get out there an- UGH!" First Aid flies forward as a laser bolt slams into his back. The doctor tumbles head over heels and only stops himself by putting all four wheels on the ground and hitting the brakes. Having transformed into ambulance mode, First Aid nearly skids out before coming to a complete halt. The double-barreled decrystallizer is on his roof, and he aims it upwards at Windshear. "Windshear! Have the Decepticons sunk so low that they're targeting humans now?!" First Aid's voice is shakey, but he sounds genuinely upset. The Protectobot knows from the reports that this is not a new thing with Windshear. The decrystallizer levels itself off and fires. The recoil pushes First Aid back a few feet. Combat: First Aid sets his defense level to Fearless. First Aid falls forward, arms sliding in and legs flipping about, transforming into an ambulance. Combat: Ambulance strikes Tetrajet with his Decrystallizer Cannon attack! It appears Groove is the prime target here for some reason! He gets shot in his good shoulder by Blueshift's whatsit gun, and manages a growl, seeing First Aid getting fired upon, as well as humans. Not cool. But it looks like First Aid is handling it. Groove climbs back to his feet, getting some distance between himself and 'Aid before setting his sights on Blueshift. "Why don't you come on down here, and maybe we can start a dialog," he offers, glowering, scanning. Flamin' Winnebago transforms back into robot mode and peers down into the pit Galvatron just disappeared into. "Man, those things are WAY more effective than I was expecting!" he exclaims as Fragment falls down one as well. He turns and gives Nosecone a thumbs up. "Good job, Nosecone!" Then he spins, summoning his photon eliminator, and aims it at Windshear. "And YOU. I think you've got enough to deal with without going after the humans, understood?" he growls as he fires. Then he smirks. "And just think - if you hadn't told me your name, I wouldn't have even known who First Aid had been talking about!" Combat: Groove analyzes Blueshift for weaknesses. Flamin' Winnebago transforms into his Robot mode. Combat: Rodimus Prime sets his defense level to Aggressive. Combat: Rodimus Prime strikes Tetrajet with his Photon Eliminator attack! [Pulled -4] Nightbeat does not like the sound of 'fractal generator'. Something about a parrot. First Aid seems upset about one of the Seekers harassing humans. He withdraws his trusty twin photon pistols, and this where having /two/ attention spans comes in handy - he aims one pistol at Windshear, while the other finds it way back over to Redshift. Nightbeat pulls the triggers and then makes a run for an alley, /hoping/ to be followed. There is an attack dumpster in the alley, just waiting to spew garbage at an unsuspecting Decepticon! Combat: Nightbeat misses Redshift with his Twin Photon Pistols Area attack! [Pulled -1] Combat: Nightbeat strikes Tetrajet with his Twin Photon Pistols Area attack! [Pulled -1] More and more weapons fire continues to cut deeply into the grounds beside the trio of Protectobots, some of which even actually hits its mark. "Rggh! We're sitting ducks out in the open here." Blades complains as the photon pistol gripped in his left hand continues to track the various passing Decepticon aerial warriors, the barrel of his weapon emits beams of light every so often. "These smegging buckets of bolts are shooting humans now?!" The Protectobolt pushes himself to the front of the group, adjusts the settings on his weapon and fires, "Got to pull them off of these guys quick, they didn't sign up for this level of abuse!" Jazz cannot avoid Cyclonus's riposte but at least he managed to surprise him with the flamethrower gig. Loss of pressure in the arm and legs servos. Chassis becoming a bit heavier. Nothing to worry about yet but he will definately need to have those actuators and servos replaced instead of patched. Jazz moves further away from Cyclonus and towards the center of the fighting. The closer the bolts the better for him. On his way he fires a quick shot back at the unicronian. Combat: Jazz strikes Cyclonus with his Solar-Powered Photon Rifle attack! Cybertronian Drill dives back underground again. Drilling for a few yards just underneath the surface, he suddenly pops up again. Lasers mounted on the side of the Drill Tank open fire. Once again they take aim at the impossible-to-hit spaceship. Combat: Cybertronian Drill misses Blueshift with his Laser attack! Combat: Blades misses Redshift with his Photon Pistol Area attack! [Pulled -1] Combat: Blades strikes Tetrajet with his Photon Pistol Area attack! [Pulled -1] Combat: That attack has temporarily affected Tetrajet 's Accuracy. (Blinded) Blueshift just hovers in the air and laughs at his brother. "Redshift, you are the WORST! That is not how you shoot a Blades, THIS is how you shoot a Blades!" He aims his gun at Blades and pulls the trigger, distracting him from Groove's cruel analysis of him :( He dodges Nosecone, glaring down at the Technobot. "Redshift, you kill the drill... thing!" Combat: Blueshift strikes Blades with his Speed Stealing Gun attack! Cyclonus keeps walking towards Jazz after he fired at him. Before he can reach the autobot, he gets shot again but Jazz's rifle only did minor damage to his chestplate. The unicronian's face remain emotionless but he stops a moment to examine his wound. He doesn't make any comment but he raises his pistol once again and pulls the trigger before resuming his walk towards Jazz. It's at this very moment than he triggers a trap and is instantly glued to the ground, "What is this!" he shouts while looking at his feet. Combat: Cyclonus strikes Jazz with his Oxidizing Laser attack! [Pulled -5] Combat: That attack has temporarily impaired Jazz's Agility. (Crippled) One, two, three, four. Windshear is hit hard and he's hit fast and the last attack blinded him. HUD warnings racing by are the only thing he can make out now. Armor is gone, other systems are down, like everything but his engines. Slag to the pit! Slowly the Seeker banks away using nothing but his radar now to 'see' and doesnt respond right away at Rodimus. Hes busy trying to get his senses back. Then with more determination then anything else he spins around and heads back, weapons online but flying soly by his radar now. "But..." he rasps tightly, "The humans need to learn -- they... allied themselves with the Autobots... they are worthless now." He takes what will probably be his last shot in this fight but doesnt care. He'd rather go down fighting then retreat. And if hes going down he will aim to crash into as many germs as he can. Combat: Tetrajet strikes Rodimus Prime with his Laser attack! Galvatron pulls himself out of the hole he had just fallen into, his respiratory system cycling hard. "Hnnngh... hnnngh... damn you, Rodimus..." Once he emerges, though, he notices something crawling on his body! "What!? Ahhh! Scraplets! SCRAPLETS! YOU INFESTED ME WITH SCRAPLETS!" Galvatron screams, leaping at Rodimus and attempting to clobber him! Combat: Galvatron misses Rodimus Prime with his Unprotected Violence (Smash) attack! Redshift, who prides himself on his agility and maneuverability, knows how to put his money where his mouth is. With blinding blasts of PHOTONS flying everywhere, Redshift dodges them all with slick skill and precision, leaving both Nightbeat's and Blade's photon pistols to hit nothing but empty aim. "HA! Pathetic Autobots! Now let ME show you how it's done!" The braggart Decepticon transforms into his spaceship mode again, engines flaring(and one wing chopped). Swooping in low, he again opens up his belly to dispense a payload of highly explosive firebombs, trumping the Autobot's blinding pistols with his own blinding explosives! Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Fearless. Redshift transforms into his sleek spacecraft mode and takes to the air. Combat: Red Spaceship strikes Groove with his Phosphorous Bombs Area attack! Combat: That attack has temporarily affected Groove's Accuracy. (Blinded) Combat: Red Spaceship strikes Ambulance with his Phosphorous Bombs Area attack! Combat: That attack has temporarily affected Ambulance 's Accuracy. (Blinded) Combat: Red Spaceship strikes Blades with his Phosphorous Bombs Area attack! Combat: That attack has temporarily affected Blades's Accuracy. (Blinded) Combat: Red Spaceship 's Phosphorous Bombs attack on Nightbeat goes wild! Combat: Red Spaceship misses Tetrajet with his Phosphorous Bombs Area attack! Combat: Used up 2 WP_Bombs. 0 remain. Fragment gives the Autobots the benefit of the doubt and decides this trap he fell into was just a little used trash bin in the ground, the note with 'spikes' written on it surely just a bit of rubbish and not a to-do list. Hey, he's a rookie. He doesn't know the Autobots very well. Fragment leaps upwards and flies out of the hole, unclamping his nunchakus from his sides and sneding them into spins about his body. "Where were we?" Groove is sought out. He runs after to catch up and makes to lash out with one of his nunchaku at the Protectobot. Combat: Fragment sets his defense level to Aggressive. Combat: Fragment misses Groove with his Nunchaku attack! "Right," Groove replies to Blades, and keeps a sharp optic on Blueshift as the cyclebot circles around to make sure the EDC folk are out of harm's way. Blueshift appears to switch targets anyway. "Hey!" Groove shouts, somewhat offended, "I was talkin' to you, man!" Stepping back, he backflips into his motorcycle mode and charges under Blueshift, vaporators trained on his undercarriage. Just after Groove fires, Redshift's bombs strike again, singing his frame. He blindly tears out of the smoke to get NUNCHUKU'D by Fragment. In bikemode. Groove drops and compacts, transforming into his motorcycle mode. Combat: Groove sets his defense level to Fearless. Combat: Harley strikes Blueshift with his Twin Vaporators attack! Combat: That attack has temporarily impaired Blueshift's Agility. (Crippled) "They're stronger than the Decepticons can ever imagine!" First Aid retorts. The ambulance moves forward, keeping Windshear in his sights. He has to swerve out of the way of a hidden mine that he knows is buried in his path, but he sticks with the flying Decepticon. More napalm bombs rain down on the area thanks to Redshift, and more than a few are close enough that First Aid's right side catches on fire, but he sticks with Windshear. Streetwise would be proud. The EDCers, thanks to Blades's earlier work, has evacuated on the shuttles, the only remaining humans are those that refused to evacuate. Despite this, First Aid does his best to buy them enough time to escape. Combat: Ambulance misses Tetrajet with his Decrystallizer Cannon attack! Jazz gets hit once more and can feel the servos grinding as the oxidizing laser partially fused them together. Time to change the situation like only a transformer can. Jazz leaps up and transforms into his stylish car mode executes a nice 180 and charges back towards Cyclonus. "Have a nice big dose of Mexican culture buddy!" A big pair of speakers come out the sides of the car and the front light begin blinking and flshing in a bright, random, annoying colorful pattern. Jazz leaps into the air and folds down on himself and into a stylish white Porsche 935. Combat: Jazz sets his defense level to Neutral. Combat: White Porsche 935 strikes Cyclonus with his Sound and Light Show attack! Combat: That attack has temporarily impaired Cyclonus's Agility. (Crippled) "WOAH!" Rodimus exclaims, ducking beneath Galvatron's attempt to grab at him. Can't let Galvatron touch him now, or *he'll* get the scraplets! Of course, the move leaves him vulnerable to Windshear's blast, which pings the armor of his helmet, knocking out a (sadly small) chunk. He spins to see Windshear intentionally trying to crash into some more humans. "Seems like YOU'RE the one who can't learn a lesson!" he growls, leveling his photon blaster. Even as he battles, he speaks over the radio. Combat: Rodimus Prime strikes Tetrajet with his Photon Eliminator attack! Combat: Tetrajet falls to the ground, unconscious. Cybertronian Drill obeys Rodimus Prime's order. Time to pull out? Well then, he pulls out! The Drill Tank digs himself an escape hole and he disappears inside it. Combat: Cybertronian Drill begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from White Porsche 935 , Harley , Rodimus Prime, Galvatron, Cyclonus, Ambulance , Red Spaceship , and Blueshift "Gah, nothing ever goes to plan as it should does it?" Blades coughs out as he climbs out of the fire storm left behind by the napalm bombs that was dropped by Redshift. A few trailing energon dripping down from the lower left region of his torso reminds the Protectobot that he has also been shot by Blueshift. "When are the rest of those evacuees getting onto the shuttle?" Blades barks out, "Hey watch out!" Blades calls out to the rest of his comrades as another one of the Decepticons' aerial warriors flies by. "This is getting no where fast." Leaping into the air Blades transforms into his alternative mode as Prime calls the retreat. "Someone better tell me this was worth it." The helicopter begins retreating. Blades leaps into the air, expanding and reconfiguring his body structure into a Sikorsky S-76 Spirit helicopter within seconds. Combat: Sikorsky S-76 Spirit begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from White Porsche 935 and Red Spaceship Nightbeat has amazing preternatural protection against Redshift's bombs! He's disappointed no one wants to be attacked by an attack dumpster, but it's time to pull out, according to the Big Bossman. Nightbeat spares a glance over at poor Jazz before transforming and burning rubber. Nightbeat slouches down into Porsche 959 form. Time to roll. Combat: Porsche 959 begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from White Porsche 935 and Red Spaceship Windshear has left. Galvatron lunges towards Rodimus Prime again, even as the nasty little buggers gradually begin to multiply and swarm all over him! "Not so fast, Rodimus Prime! You wanted to infest me with these PARASITES, why don't YOU find out what it's like, too, HMM!?" Should he grab Rodimus, he'll wrap his hands around his throat, and snarl, "Have your fill of Scraplets, Rodimus!!!" Cyclonus is about to jump on Jazz and he's suddenly blinded by the light show. Now wanting to remain defenseless on the ground, he leaps into the air and transforms into his starfighter mode. Now his sensors allow him to "see" but somehow he doesn't seem to be able to fly straight. "Time to end this autobot!" A second later incendiary bombs are falling everywhere. Cyclonus leaps into the air and quickly transforms into a cybertronian starfighter. Combat: Galvatron sets his defense level to Fearless. Combat: Starfighter 's Incendiary Bombs attack on White Porsche 935 goes wild! Combat: Starfighter misses himself with his Incendiary Bombs Area attack! [Pulled -5] Combat: Starfighter 's Incendiary Bombs attack on Harley goes wild! Combat: Starfighter misses Blueshift with his Incendiary Bombs Area attack! [Pulled -5] Combat: Starfighter 's Incendiary Bombs attack on Rodimus Prime goes wild! Combat: Starfighter misses Blueshift with his Incendiary Bombs Area attack! [Pulled -5] Combat: Starfighter 's Incendiary Bombs attack on Galvatron goes wild! Combat: Starfighter misses Blueshift with his Incendiary Bombs Area attack! [Pulled -5] Combat: Starfighter 's Incendiary Bombs attack on Ambulance goes wild! Combat: Starfighter misses Fragment with his Incendiary Bombs Area attack! [Pulled -5] Combat: Starfighter 's Incendiary Bombs attack on Red Spaceship goes wild! Combat: Starfighter strikes himself with his Incendiary Bombs Area attack! [Pulled -5] Combat: Starfighter 's Incendiary Bombs attack on Fragment goes wild! Combat: Starfighter misses himself with his Incendiary Bombs Area attack! [Pulled -5] Combat: Starfighter 's Incendiary Bombs attack on Blueshift goes wild! Combat: Starfighter misses Red Spaceship with his Incendiary Bombs Area attack! [Pulled -5] Combat: Galvatron misses Rodimus Prime with his SCRAPLETS OMG attack! "HAHA STUPID SPECIAL TEAMS!" teases Blueshift as he continues to float in the air and snipe at Protectobots. "They suck so...ARGH!" Groove's horrible fumes overcome him, cripping his MIND as he swims about in the air. "Right, that's it!" he howls in rage. "He's totally going to get it! I'm going to mount him on my wall! Once I get a wall!" Blueshift folds down into his totally evil spaceship, and zooms after Groove on a collision-course! Blueshift leaps into the air, flipping into the form of a small spacecraft Combat: Blueshift sets his defense level to Fearless. Combat: Blue Spaceship strikes Harley with his Full-Body Strike attack! Fragment barely manages to not clobber himself with his own weapon as it swings through nothing but air where the bike Groove was half a second ago. "Rah... where are you going, 'Ponch'?" He's about to go after the motorcycle autobot again when Cyclonus decides to become chaos incarnate and Fragment finds himself diving for cover for his life! "What the slag?!" Combat: Fragment sets his defense level to Protected. Combat: Fragment takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass] "ARG! Watch where you're shootin!" Redshift emits, narrowly escaping burning death from one of Cyclonus;s killer firebombs. The irony is not lost on this red spacer. With bombs going off all around, some Autobots running around every which-way, Galvatron yelling about /Scraplets/, everything is just a confused jumble. In suchconfusion, he hopes Rodimus Prime won't notice him, and he trues to peg the autobot leader in the back with a burst of laser-fire. Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Guarded. Combat: Red Spaceship misses Rodimus Prime with his in the butt! (Laser) attack! Harley yelps as the rest of his mangled frame gets crumpled from Blueshift's brutal assault. A motorcycle getting crashed into by a spaceship, admittedly, looks pretty cool. It's not so cool for Groove, who rolls and rolls and rolls, somehow ending up on his two melted wheels. "W-way harsh man," he croaks, and weakly turns for a retreat after Blades. Combat: Harley begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from White Porsche 935 , Starfighter , Ambulance , Sikorsky S-76 Spirit , Porsche 959, Red Spaceship , and Blue Spaceship White Porsche 935 chuckles as Cyclonus does lots of collateral damage and manages to get some splash damage from his own bombs. On top of having trouble to see unicronians come with cheap ammo. Who knew? The car shifts into high gear and heads out of the area as fast as his 720hp allow him to. Ambulance 's tires squeal as he sees Cyclonus beginning to drop the bombs. He tears through the city at maximum speed, driving down the battered roads. It isn't reckless, per se, as reckless is not in First Aid's dictionary. But it is very hasty. There's a great shot of First Aid outrunning an explosion that will be on all the trailers. Combat: First Aid sets his defense level to Protected. Combat: Jazz sets his defense level to Protected. Combat: Ambulance begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from White Porsche 935 , Starfighter , Sikorsky S-76 Spirit , Porsche 959, Red Spaceship , and Blue Spaceship Combat: White Porsche 935 begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from Starfighter , Red Spaceship , and Blue Spaceship Rodimus Prime looks genuinely worried as Galvatron lunges for him, and he jumps back, out of the way, almost falling into one of those traps he worked on so hard himself. His arms pinwheel for a moment, but he manages to keep his balance... partly because he's shot from behind by Redshift, a blast that does no serious damage but was just what he needed to push himself back upright. "THANKS!" he shouts to Redshift, giving him a thumbs up. Then he offers Galvatron a lazy, mocking salute. "And no thanks, Galvatron. I'm not hungry. Enjoy that little treat, though!" he adds as he transforms and begins to pull out, following the other Autobots away. Rodimus Prime transforms into his Flamin' Winnebago mode. Flamin' Winnebago transforms into his Robot mode. Combat: Rodimus Prime begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from White Porsche 935 , Harley , Galvatron, Starfighter , Ambulance , Sikorsky S-76 Spirit , Porsche 959, Red Spaceship , and Blue Spaceship Rodimus Prime transforms into his Flamin' Winnebago mode. Starfighter finally shakes off the effects of Jazz's attack...when his own bomb bounces back on him, setting him on fire. It's only because he's too proud that he doesn't yell in pain as the fire wreck havok with his armor. "You are going to pay Autobot!" he says as he dives towards Jazz, all guns blazing. Combat: Starfighter strikes White Porsche 935 with his Disruptor attack! "MUAHAHAH!" cries Blueshift as he hits Groove. But then, shock of shock, the Autobots all start to run away. "Nnn, I need a bomb attack like Redshift!" he grouses. "Then I could kill them all!" Going for the big prize, he turns, blasting in a direct line towards the retreating Rodimus. "Die AUTOBOT SCUM!" he cries. "You horrid COWARD! I know you are one because you are RED!" Combat: Blue Spaceship misses Flamin' Winnebago with his Full-Body Strike attack! Galvatron yells, enraged, "NO! You will not escape that easily!" He fires several parting shots at the flying Autobot leader. "DAMN YOU RODIMUS PRIME! DAAAAMMMMNNNN YOUUUUU!" But as Rodimus runs off into the city, no doubt to eventually retreat, Galvatron takes a moment to seethe before he yells, "SOMEONE GET THESE SCRAPLETS OFF OF ME!" Red Spaceship circles above the retreating Autobots like a hungry vulture, waiting for one of them to perish. Rodimus is slowly backing out, clearly trying to cover his fellow Autobot's retreats. WELL, Redshift is going to give him what he wants and then some, Rodimus will get more than what he bargained for as the SHIFT BROTHERS are coming to get him! Diving downwards, Redshift guns his engines up to full power, careening recklessly towards the ground -And towards Rodimus Prime. Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Fearless. Combat: Galvatron strikes Flamin' Winnebago with his Fusion Cannon attack! [Pulled -9] Combat: Red Spaceship strikes Flamin' Winnebago with his Full Speed Ahead attack! Fragment gets back to his feet and looks for a target, only to see the Autobots have transformed and are doing that rolling out thing they do. He raises a fist and shakes it, no time to transform and gain proper attack ground on any of them. Flamin' Winnebago is running away. Rodimus Prime is running away real hard! He swerves back and forth, managing to avoid Blueshift, but it's not enough to get out of the way of either the fusion blast or Redshift, and he is hit HARD! The upper section of his trailer is torn right off by the spaceship's flyby, while his rear end is blasted and charred by Galvatron's high powered blast. Still, he manages to get away, injured but intact! White Porsche 935 gets hit by Cyclonus as he flees the area, something red flashes on the hud. He curses at the damage readout but no matter he will get it fixed back at Metroplex. Nosecone has left. Fragment stops his fist shaking and looks to Galvatron... who has caught an infection here in Ayotzinco, Mexico. Is there a Decepticon newsletter public service announcement in this? If the noble and glorious Galvatron can catch something, anybody can? Fragment looks around at the ruinous hole pocked city newly vacated by the Autobots. "Victory." Rodimus Prime moves to Mexico. Rodimus Prime has left. Jazz moves to Mexico. Jazz has left. Red Spaceship pulls up, a little worse for wear, but far less damaged than the fleeing form of Rodimus Prime. He rockets over the city, letting loose a contraol of bright purple smoke in his wake. "The city is OURS! Victory for the Decepticons!" Combat: Redshift inspires Fragment, Blue Spaceship, Starfighter , and Galvatron with dramatic and wise words! First Aid has left. Blueshift transforms into robot mode, hovering in the air as he aims his gun at Redshift. "Uuuugh you make me SICK, Red!" he hisses, shooting Redshift with a low setting for kicks and giggles The spaceship flips up into the handsome form of Blueshift Starfighter transforms and lands on the battlefield, "All hail Galvatron who led us to victory!" he shouts while raising his right arm towards the sky. Some would be tired to hear him shouting that but who would dare to complain? The starfighter unfold into the robot form of Cyclonus. Combat: Blueshift misses Redshift with his Speed Stealing Gun attack! [Pulled -1]
