The Black Forest (German: Schwarzwald) is a great, forested mountain range in the state of Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany. It is bounded by the Rhine valley to the west and south. Its highest peak is the Feldberg with an elevation of 1,493 metres (4,898 ft). The region is almost rectangular in area with a length of 160 km (99 mi) and breadth of up to 60 km (37 mi). Best known for it's densely packed forests.

A loud growling could be heard echoing around the forest as a large whie and blue wolf stalked around. It's blue optics art around as it looked for something to eat.

((Welp, I've got a new character who needs some exercise, ypou wouldn't mind if I joined would you?))
It was here that a small white and blue mechanical spider flinched. What the frag was that? The two-foot spider asked himself, and then continued to crawl along his way as if nothing had happened. He actually wasn't that scared, though the growl did seem to be about thirty yards from his position. Pfft. What does it matter? I got me a pair of wings, and I can high-fly out of here if I need to.
The small spider thought to himself as he twitched his folded up dragon-fly like wings, which were simply waiting to be used. The small sider continued to crawl, wondering if he would be seeing any Cybertronians any time soon. Hopfully he could, and then he could get some progress on finding one of his friends. Goxes dark blue optics glowed in the shadows as well, as his arachnid frame seemed to snake around like a lizard's body would. He was covering reasonable ground for something that walked, so if the beast was looking for lunch, it would be having to chase it's prey.

(Instead of frantically burning out my brain in Austrailia, I'm coming here instead. Sorry about the mess from before. That's what happens when you come in mid-battle)
A Skybridge opened up, and a military rotorcraft flew through, scouting the area for Marks.
Hotwire had little to do, while at the same time being hideously busy; the standard for a trained Bounty Hunter. Ironically, of all the new arrivals in the area, the European-built rotorcraft was probably the least out of place.

*Helix sniffed the ground as he was on patrol for any energon or Decepticons. He blinks as he heads for a cave at the mountain base. Treading lightly on the snow.*

Gox continued to walk about, until the sent of another Cybertronian hit him. It was in the sky, so that meant that the Cyertronian was flying right? No duh. Gox told himself, as he still scuttled about the place, just minding his own business. His own energon signature was small due to his size, and he was of Quintesson origins, thusly perhaps making any one poking their helms about for different signatures thinking Gox to be Quintesson.
The small spider just climbed up a tree to get a small view of his surroundings, even though he knew flight would be a more effective method. The spider gave a small sigh as he perched on the tree branch, and his four deep blue optics scanned the area for anything in coming. He was sniffing out several things at once, and one was that predator-growling -beast. Predators bad. Where's a host when I need one? Gox asked himself, knowing that the beast may very well try to track him down. Hold on a second. I'm in a planet where everything's organic. PFFFFFFF, no dang predicon is gonna get me out here, I don't think they even exist anymore! Well, on that note, it's probably a bear or something. Gox reassured himself, and gave a small sigh. His own sights then locked on to another small insect, which was a moth. The movement and the way the moth fly flew made Gox lock his vision on it.

Hotwire was only really scouting the area for casual reasons. The *Whumph-whumph-whumph* of her rotors was impossible to miss over the peace and quiet of the forest.
She was only flying a few feet over the tree-tops; she didn't notice Gox, but he could easily see her.

Gox heard the thwipping and the humming of Hotwire's rotors, and his small audio receptors flipped upwards. His helm immediately darted upwards, looking to the sky where the helicopter was passing by. Cybertronian? Whereas most Cybertronians had signature detectors, all Gox had was a food sense of smell, and thusly didn't know if this helicopter was indeed a Cybertronian. It was a fifty-fifty percent chance that the helicopter was after all a Cybertronain, so Gox slowly arose from his perch, and unfolded his own dragon-fly like wings so that he could follow the helicopter. The small arachnid then took a small jump to begin his flight, and then started to make a series of small hops and glides so that he could stay behind the Helicopter, but keep following it. If the other creature was paying attention, he would definitely see a Quintesson signature be following another signature.
((And now we wait for Feenixfire.))

A groundbridge opened inside the forest. The sound of music could be heard coming from it. One could identify the song as Redbone's "Come and get your love". A royalblue mech swaggered out. He smirked to himself as he did a little leap over a creek and slid on the ice.
~Perfect place to "patrol", heh, like any cons will come here.~
His scanner beeped as it picked up EM sigs. Riptide, however, had the volume on his music up too loud to hear it. He held his hand up to his mouth in a fist and acted like he was singing through a mic. To any cybertronians nearby, he probably looked like the biggest goofball in existence.

*Helix hears the helicopter and peeks out of the cave, growling as he was ready to attack if they came after him. He then senses the strange signal and creeps out more, his sensors detecting faint energon signals behind him from the mines.*

The helicopter landed gracefully, then transformed into the 26' Hotwire, looking around her and wondering if she really had sensed something. Probably not from her files, but something altogether out of place in this organic area.
"Is there somebody here?" she called out, "I'm not here to fight..."

Gox landed silently behind Hotwire, atop a tree. He folded his wings back into his back-plating, and slowly crawled towards the femme until he was at last on a branch that made his position be literally just jump away from reached her back. Gox wagged his abdomen a little as he began lowered his front body to pounce. Cybertronians! Gox thought, and the small Quintesson arachnid kept silent, and then he finally spoke up when he heard the femme call out.
So trying to tackle her for a surprise wouldn't work. Would've been fun though. Maybe. Gox thought, and then started his own form of speech with a vibrating sound in his lower neck. The vibrating got loud enough for him to make a few sounds, until at last he spoke in a queer small, voice, controlling some of the sounds by flexing his fangs; "Hello. I am not a threat. I am Gox." The spider had limited vocabulary when it came to speech, but when he latchd onto someone, speaking was much easier since he could speak with his thoughts. The spider was too focused with his four large optics to notice the car playing the music for the moment, not to mention the car was a bit too distant. "Gox the spider." Gox added, cocking his tiny helm some. Unlike most spires, he actually had a small neck, and a head. The Quintesson insignia was branded to the top of his abdomen, so it would be clear to anyone glancing at him where he'd come from.

"Okay," Hotwire raised an eyebrow, "I didn't think it was you I heard... but..."
What irony... if he had jumped her, she probably wouldn't have noticed.
She scratched her helm, looking at his build, "Let me guess. Quintessa, huh? I've been there," And worked for them, "Place is screwed up, if you ask me," she spoke her mind without the slightest concern. She knew her head wasn't the straightest in the world, but she could balance it out with honesty, "What's a little thing like you doing on a mud-covered planet like this?"
She could hear the guy in the distance, but she was more interested in the spider. She'd never seen anything like this before...

Cause baby there ain't no mountain hiiigh enough! Ain't no valley looow enough! Ain't no river wiiide enough, to keep me from getting to you babe!
Riptide sang to the classic Marvin Gaye song as he climbed up the mountain. His foot slipped on some ice and he started to slide down. He simply used his powers to melt some of the ice and create a little geyser underneath him. It propelled him back up and he jammed his fingers into a crevice and held on tight. He was up pretty high now, and he was able to see for miles. That's when he saw three things. A mechanical wolf, a weird spider thing, and a feeme.
Well, this place is just getting crowded. Maybe I should introduce myself.
Riptide transformed into his 2015 Corvette Stingray mode and raced down a slope on the mountain. He raced off a ramp made from snow and transformed, falling about 50ft before rolling as he hit the ground in front of the wolf.
Wassup wolfie.
He said with a smirk as he stood.

The two-foot long spider cocked his helm like an owl the other direction upon the arrival of the blue-bot, and then blinked two of his own dark blue optics, before answering the femme. "Quintess' slaughter-place. Bad for Gox." Gox answered, trying hard to translate his thoughts and emotions, which came in sm all and simple blips of feeling, and sensations of vague memories of the place. "Gox find here because Gox is smart enough to." Gox said, though the tone he put into the vibrant response was as odd as he was. He'd just said that he'd been tracking Cybertronains right? Or was that like, saying something along those lines? Smart was 'travel' or 'hunt' wasn't it. Gox furrowed his tiny optic ridges, making his photon-powered optics look a bit mad. Gox scratched his helm with one of his hind legs as he looked from Hotwire, to Riptide, to the wolf. "Smart enough to? Or tracker enough to? Gox good finder?" Gox tried, experimenting with sentences some, since she had only learned the language about two weeks ago.
Gox finally just rolled his large optics and then continued to sit on his perch. All of these Cybertronians had a different scent, which meant they had different origins. Plus, two of them bore strange and different signs on them. Did that mean that they would clash?

*Helix sees Riptide coming right towards him and bares his teeth, barking and ready to attack... Until he heard the voice. He then wags his tail and transforms into his robot mode, a pair of jet wings extending from his back as various plane parts mix with the wolf parts.*
"Rippy! Been a while!"

Hotwire focused on Gox, "You followed Cybertronians to this place?" she held out one hand for Gox to stand on, "Because Quintessa is dangerous?" she hazarded, trying to help to translate Gox's language, "What are you looking for?" she asked him.

It has been a while eh? Six years right? I've been at base for about a month or so now. The whole bounty hunting gig got old and I figured why not return and scrap some cons.
That wasn't the real reason Riptide had returned to Earth, there was another. He had felt like a coward running from the war and felt like he owed it to the autobots to fight for them. Of course, he was never going to admit this.
While I was up on the mountain I spotted a feeme and some spider thing a ways from here. Could be trouble.

"That long eh? Primus. Already had a kid in that time. Two actually. I ain't the pup you remember. And I thought I picked up odd signals, besides energon from the mine."
*He keeps wagging his tail and shakes Rippy by the hand.*

Two? Dear Primus, didn't realize how long six years really was.
He shakes his hand.
Earth really has gotten a lot more dangerous since the last time I was here. I've been in three fights these past two weeks. One of them your father was in too. I believe it was in Shanghai.
