Oklahoma. The one US state that never quite let go of the idea of the Wild West. A state of tornados, desert, and NRA fanatics, and a musical. If you want to be bored, travel the Interstate. But with its national parks and state parks, Oklahoma is untamed, wild and has plenty of room for brawls, if you don't mind picking the grit out of your gears later. Not that you won't find plenty of places to bust up - you can find plenty of industrialisation if you know where to look. Plenty of oil too...

Some way above the ground, a Sky-Bridge opened, and Hotwire stepped through it. She transformed inches above the rock and gravel of the desert, her skids brushing the dirt gently.
This place was wild, and while the state had a thriving population, there were wide open, unpopulated spaces that were absolutely perfect for a bounty hunter who wanted to create her new hideout in.
Besides, she needed somewhere to stash the payment of relics and credits. She flew above the Interstate, moving at a leisurely pace as she looked out for suitable places.

Travelling down the interstate was a brown cadillac eldorado kicking up dust as it passed by a dust devil, Whirling past and over the road behind him. The cars engine roared and echoed through the bare clay wastelands.
He enjoyed taking the quieter roads with his travel buddy Deputy who was currently sitting in his boot compartment in storage mode.

The last thing that really belonged in the landscape was the custom painted red and white helicoptor which was also flying a mere five feet over the ground.
Hotwire wasn't exactly being subtle, and while she wasn't in robot mode, she scouted the terrain to look for large caves to make larger. That was erratic behaviour all in itself.

Round-Up pulls over to the side of the road, his tires meet the sandy verge and his engine cuts out. He begins sweeping the new sector of the interstate for any signs of decepticon activity.
Deputy keep the EM scanners going will you? I'll run a few visual sweeps.

Hotwire didn't come up on Round-Up's scans as a Decepticon - but she was wanted from everything from murder and kidnapping to fencing ancient relics on the Black Market.
And since he didn't have a specific bounty on his head, he didn't show up on her scanners. She continued her search, blissfully ignorant of him.
She was fairly sure she had found a suitable cave now - it just needed some enlarging.
She transformed and pulled out the Scatter Blaster, charging it up.

It would appear that this one's committed several offences both on cybertron and off planet.
The femme's civil record pops up on round-ups console
Known as Hotwire huh?
The engine starts up.
Are you taking them in?
A voice chirped back to him, the car now on the move towards her location.
Probably, no one escapes an Autobot Enforcer.

Hotwire pushed her Blaster into the small cave she had chosen. Then she fired.
The resulting explosion resulted in a dust-cloud that could be seen half a mile away, melted a cave that could accomadate a small mansion - most of which was underground - and the recoil knocked Hotwire off her feet and a good seventy feet away.
"Okay, note to self... don't try that angle again," she muttered, dizzied by the blow. She stood up carefully, rubbing her spinning helm. She looked over at an approaching Cadillac, probably some human about to investigate the noise, "And can it get any worse?"

The car approached the femme about 20 ft away from her position, coming to a steady roll before splitting apart down the middle, the bonnet and grill along with the front axle split apart revealing two servos which touched the ground, the chest formed next along with a head, at the rear the boot sprung open revealing a cuboid looking object which transformed into a weapon, a servo reached between his legs to pull the gun out from under his pedes as they landed on the ground, holding the mighty riot gun with one servo whilst the left servo placed a sheriff's hat on top of his head, his optics obscured by a blue visor.

Great. Autobot law enforcement. Yup. It can.
"Oh-ho... Heeeey, officer," Hotwire shuffled between Round-Up and the smoking hole she had just created, grinning awkwardly, "I was just flying by, and I saw this huge explosion. So I thought I should look in and i found this cave... and this little gun..."
She looked down at the Scatter Blaster in her hands. It was like a shotgun with multiple settings, and it was currently on the highest, "And i was just saying to myself, 'I'd better find the local law enforcement'. And then you turn up! What a great coincidence!"
She started to back away, still grinning.
"So I'll just leave this strange event in your capable servos..."

The gun clicked as he aimed it at Hotwire, his facial expression didn't change.
Drop the weapon and put your servos up, You are wanted for several offences on Cybertron and the offworld offences in several systems.

"Oh, that."
Hotwire didn't move, casually adjusting the Scatter Blaster to a lower strength more around 'shotgun' level, "Y'know, I don't get it. It's just a job," she kept talking smoothly, "I'm just doing my job. I can't name names obviously, but I am being contracted for these things. Wouldn't your time be better spent finding the guys who employed me, eh?"
She didn't drop visor contact.
"I mean, you don't clear the Red Light District by arresting Hookers..." she smirked as she adjusted her grip very slightly, "That is what you do with those femmes, eh?"
Then she jump-rolled left.

If you decide to come quietly then I would be able to find the ones hiring you.
Ma'am what I do with my private life is none of your business.
He then turns to her new position, flipping up a rectangular aiming crosshair on the cannon.
I've got you in my sights and you're not leaving this long arm of the law's sights...
Drop the weapon and come quietly.

"Yeah, great idea. Then I get keel-hauled by Feenixfire three times over while she's quizzing me about her husband."
Hotwire didn't aim though.
"I don't enjoy hurting people when I'm not on the job. And from the looks of you... I don't need to..."
She turned and started running, flipping her Scatter Blaster onto her back. It wasn't easy for a rotorcraft to transform from the ground though, especially running. Her plating started to rearrange itself as she hoped she had enough of a head-start to get into Alt mode.

Deputy, seismic round.
The cannon clicked as a rotary loading system clicked into place. On Round Up's visor he began plotting where to launch the seismic grenade, an imaginary dotted line formed and a circle where it would land.
A servo pulls down on the trigger and the projectile was deployed, if it landed in close vicinity to Hotwire it should take her legs out from underneath her with a small seismic shock.

Hotwire was halfway into her transformation when the ground shook, knocking her off her feet and back into mech mode.
"Okay 'officer', so you want to play rough, eh?"
She pulled out the Scatter Blaster and rolled onto her back, firing at Round-Up's chassis. If it hit, it wouldn't offline with one shot on this setting, but it sure would hurt.

Round Up reaches down to his leg pulling out a baton like instrument, immediately two light fields began emitting forming a square shield, the scatter blaster rounds impacting into the shield, cracks beginning to form to show how much damage it could take before needing to replenish. He manually rolls the Buster-cannons rounds with a thumb and a scrolling wheel by the trigger, letting a short burst of laser fire back at her.

About a click out, An F-22 Transformed into it's robot mode, which Steelcharger landed on one of the tall overlooking canyons. He could see what appeared to be a battle starting, which she smirked like he always did. Bounty Hunter vs a Law Enforcer! What is that, a cowboy bot! Steelcharger thought hysterically, which he sat down with his peds having over the rocky ledge. The Phase Sixer already began to feel his laughing gurgle uncontrollably.

Hotwire rolls to one side again, and this time to ber feet. She fires at Round-Up once more and then draws one long sword in her other hand, the other three rotors rattling in agitation.
"You're paid to bring in bad guys, I'm paid to bring in bad guys. It's not like it's personal. The only difference is that you've got a staff job. So why don't you Autobots just quit fussing over me and let me get on with my weak-ass excuse for a life?"
By now her voice has hints of anger in it.
