Hovering a matter of feet above the cars on the road, and entirely regardless to the general disturbance she was causing, Hotwire flew towards the noise of battle.
What she found to her delight, was Gearchange. AND Taggon. The other mech was irrelevant. Hovering a few feet above him, she shouted to Gearchange.
"Hey there, old buddy Gears! Do you want to give yourself up without trouble, or do I get the pleasure of busting you up good, eh?"

The smoke begins to clear and the familiar rotor blades of hotwire echo around... gearchange sighs and looks up.
A two on one, this sure evens out the odds. But a little rude for you to be interrupting me when i'm talking to an old friend of mine Hotwire.

"Oh, is that Taggon I spy over there?" Hotwire transformed and smirked, "You think he's your friend, Gearchange? The little punk captured me. I told him I'm not a Decepticon and that still stands... but damn, him taking a designation sure hasn't increased his intellect!"
She laughed - not nastily, but as if this was the most hilarious situation in the world.
"You Autobots should have contracted me when I gave you the chance."
She drew one sword slowly.

The Decepticon Gearchange had been engaging before Hotwire had made herself present had not reacted yet, and the smoke cleared completely. Taggon just kept his visor locked on the larger mech, his pistols still drawn. So he and Hotwire had crossed paths once more. It was strange, what fate did, if it really did exist. The vehicon was not amused in the least by Hotwire's rant of over confidence, and slanderous words, for she gel little share in his concern. he had analyzed her, and he had found only a few good qualities, and she likewise for him.
The understanding Taggon did share with Hotwire was that ultimately, her purpose would fade off after a certain amount of time, just like the war. Until then, she was simply a piece-picker. Not someone to be ignored though. Unlike Hotwire however, the vehicon kept his mouth shut, keeping a tab on his surrounding,s and making sure no others were moving in. If more mechs or femmes came--there could be snipers. Taggon just stood ready, as calm as ever, allowing the Maximus to give orders, or indications. Either way, Taggon intended on keeping the Maximusses six covered.
((Rootin' for yah mates, now have fun kicking aft. Ah, now where is Lockdown who said he'd be stopping by...))

Taggon isn't a number he's an individual... He has the right to break the code just like any individual did back when the quintessons came.
The mech growled

Orbiting just above the city, the night ship's control sensors started to give off a small loud pitched sound to signal that their were a few identified Cybertronian signals on the surface. Lockdown himself was sitting down upon his command chair, supervising his command deck of faceless drones on operating all of the systems. Two of his Cyberwolfs stood side by side of his chair, each of his servos were placed on their mane's, gently padding them. A sudden identification verified one of the mechs on the ground were Gearchange. The name quickly took the bounty hunter's attention, he knew all to well he had a bounty on his helm from the Decepticons. Now was the time for the hunt to begin.
Briefly taking sight of the controls to make sure that his ship was cloaked from sight, Lockdown lifted his chassis off of the chair, turning away from the command deck as he began to saunter through the exit, following down the hallway path where he would stand by a hatch, placing a firm grip on the handle to open it. Once then, he jumped out, plummeting through the air, quickly taking sight of the nearest building where he would activate his gadget bolter, firing a harpoon hook-on cable to place down a pede hold on the structure. Looking from left to right, right there and in front of him was the bounty itself. Not bothering to sneak and hide, the gunmetal grey mech jumped off the building, landing on the ground with a small impact crater beneath his pedes. Sliding his green screened sensor mask to cover his faceplate, he began to walk straight towards Gearchange without any hesitation, all but ready to take him by force.
"Gearchange, hmm?"

The wrecker turned to face Lockdown, his orange tinted gaze looked over the mech. Picking up his battle weapons he retracts his energon axe, splitting it back into its shotgun components and fixing them back into place. His chainaxe's hilt rests on the floor, he holds it in one servo like a staff, gesturing to the mech who approached him.
So are you here for me too? You're going to have to go splitsies with Hotwire here... that's still a lot of units y'know.

"Oh, I'm not saying he doesn't have the right to break his code," Hotwire grinned, "It's just that I'll be paid very well to make sure that nobody would be so stupid as to follow his example."
She tapped her sword against the concrete, but heard the other mech approach.
She scanned him. All Bounty Hunters and Mercenaries were on her list of Marks, along with their equipment and estimated effectiveness - obviously not to leap in and offline them, but for further business purposes. Lockdown, huh? Pretty good at his job, which was also her job.
"In any case, Gearsy, he's not my Mark today. You're the real paydirt," she glanced at Lockdown, "And don't even think of stealing my Mark."

If you know who I am, then you know I only work alone. I don't like sharing my rewards with anyone."
Stopping in his pede steps, Lockdown kept the green screened mask down over his faceplate, shifting his helm to look at Hotwire. Be it Decepticon, Autobot, neutral, he could give two frags, he'll attack anyone who'd try to snatch his reward away from him and the matter of the fact is he was greedy on his payments, he hated to think he'd have to split, or share with anyone. Swinging his arm down, the bounty hunter put a grip on one of his dual photo pistols, firing a couple of shots, inches away from Hotwire's pedes. It was a warning that he wasn't afraid of attacking her.
"You'd best get out of the way, glitch. This is my bounty and my fight, if you really want to stay in my way, I can't guarantee ill keep you in one piece."
Coming to a decision, he thought about making this a quick nab, deciding he'd go along with his signature weapon. Several components started to convert around his back and helm, taking up the form of his neural interface cannon, a weapon that literally made it appear as if his own faceplate was now a gun. Having the green laser pointers dotted at Gearchange's chestplate, Lockdown fired out a shot aimed towards him.

Hotwire wasn't shaken at all, drawing her other blade.
"Hey, I don't just have a price on him, Merc, this is a job from Commander Personality himself. You think I'm going back empty handed to him, eh?"
It would be childish to attack Lockdown when he was attacking her Mark She wouldn't get in his way, oh no. She moved in too, but made sure to keep Gearchange between them, so they wouldn't be taking each other on even if they weren't working together.

Gearchange tries to dodge to the side only to feel something rupture behind him. The shot from lockdown tore through one of his flight tech's wings, damaging a thruster. The system sparks and his HUD begins to alert him. He looks to lockdown and splits his chain axe into two blades only to flick the chainsaw appendage up on each one...

"Double alive!" Hotwire shouted to Lockdown as advice, "If you kill him, Shockwave will turn you inside-out!"
She kicked out at Gearchange's legs even, hoping to sweep him off her feet even as she brought her sword to try and cleave into his arm.

"Yes, I've heard, Shockwave is the new leader. Megatron always did pay handsome prices, I'm sure the new highness won't be able to refuse when I haul this one back. He's to valuable to just kill."
The interface cannon retracted back, resurfacing his helm. Now that his green screened mask was pulled back, it would reveal the merc's faceplate with a long noticeable scar on the left side. Wasting no time, Lockdown armed to have his two triple spiked shoulder pads slide and aim at Gearchange, revealing that they all held missiles inside of them. Firing out three projectiles at the bot, not seriously concerned if they would hit him, or not, he wanted them to act as distractions while he converted his right servo into a large razor hook, sprinting forwards to try and gap him between the shoulder and neck.

Gearchange launches a flurry of flares from his free shoulder, his right one had a huge cut in from where BlackGate had wedged his axe into it.
He revs his chainblades up and aims to fight back only to have hotwire trip him up. He looks up to her.
I really wouldn't get in the way, no matter how valuable I may be.

"I told you, I'M the one who's gonna haul him back!" Hotwire argued even as she concentrated her attack on Gearchange.
She dropped into the splits and one of Lockdown's missiles streaked over her head. She took a large roll backwards and out of melee range and produced one of her scatter grenades, pulling the pin, holding it for two, and then throwing it at the ground at Gearchange's feet, the goal being to catch him in scatter damage - which incidentally might catch Lockdown too, not that she cared.
"And I'm not the one in the way," she told Gearchange, referring to how he was between them.

Following Hotwire movements, Lockdown's green optics saw her pull the pin off of the scatter grenade and thrown at Gearchange's pedes. Gritting his dentas, he grunted. Their was no way he was going to let her claim credit over this, not by some cheap low time merc who thought she could compete with him. Acting quick, Lockdown grabbed Gearchange, using all his strength to push him as far as he could from the explosive, while at the same making himself move away from the explosion, before it could do any real damage.
"He's right. Unless you want to get killed in the crossfire, I suggest you start looking for a new bounty."
Turning to face the Autobot again, he raised his leg, trying to send a swift kick up to his faceplate.

Gearchange gets up again venting out, these bounty hunters were fighting over him like two kids and a toy between them, Gearchange catches lockdown's leg and throws him to the ground.
I don't care if Shockwave sent for you two, i'm not going down so easy either way.[/font]

The hell was Hotwire going to let some two-bit, low-life bounty hunter take charge and tell her what to do, especially when Gearchange was her job and her commision. Did he think that somebody knowing his name made him better than her?
With Lockdown grounded for a moment, she moved in relentlessly on Gearchange.
Swinging a blade at his face, she also deigned to jam an elbow into his middle, the sulky expression replaced by one of chilly, businesslike determination.
"I saw you first. You are mine, Gearchange."

Lockdown took this moment of opportunity as an advantage, watching to see that Hotwire was attacking Gearchange, he would surely be distracted now. Recovering quickly, Lockdown stood up now having a killer intent expression on his faceplate. Raising his razor hook melee, the mech swung it down to try and stab through the back of Gear's left leg. While doing so, he flipped out his thermal missile cannon from his left arm, pointing the weapon at Hotwire and firing out several shots at her chassis.
