Vladivostok is a city and the administrative center of Primorsky Krai, Russia, located at the head of the Golden Horn Bay, not far from Russia's borders with China and North Korea. The population of the city, according to the 2010 Census, is 592,034, down from 594,701 recorded in the 2002 Census. The city is the home port of the Russian Pacific Fleet and the largest Russian port on the Pacific Ocean.
Vladivostok has a monsoon influenced humid continental climate with warm, humid and rainy summers and cold, dry winters. Owing to the influence of the Siberian High, winters are far colder than a latitude of 43 degrees north should warrant given its low elevation and coastal location, with a January average of −12.3 °C (9.9 °F). In winter, temperatures can drop below −20 °C (−4 °F) while mild spells of weather can raise daytime temperatures above freezing. The average precipitation, mainly in the form of snow, is around 18.5 millimeters (0.73 in) from December to March. Snow is common during winter, but individual snowfalls are light, with a maximum snow depth of only 5 centimeters (2.0 in) in January. During winter, clear sunny days are common.

Humans and there puny ideas of government.
Steelcharger flew over the city of Vladivostok, the rogue seeker admiring the views of Russia. Steelcharger had read a bit about the country's history, and god was it one of those more- complex histories. No matter, he wasn't here to learn about Russia. He was here for something else. For a few months now, Steelcharger had been tracking a small device embedded in Vladivostok's underground works. It was of cybertronian tech, and probably could be worth quite enough according to the buyer.
Decending out of the sky, Steelcharger entered a train tunnel near the edge of the city, then transformed into his 30 ft. robot mode. Dusting himself off, Steelcharger checked to see if his trenchcoat was hitting the ground. Thankfully, it wasn't, which he began to travel down the train tunnel.

Another jet, a black F-35 watched him from afar, when Steelcharger disappeared into the tunnel, the lightning landed and transformed. The femme stood up and walked up to the entrance of the tunnel, peering in...

Steelcharger unclipped a energon tracker from his belt, which he turned it on and advanced down the dark tunnel. He was close, about a mile or two away from the center of the charge. Steelcharger didn't really suspect someone was following him, but he did check behind him before continuing. He didn't see anything, or at least partly anything. Just incase, Steelcharger increased his speed. Maybe it would be best to get this done quickly without hassle.

Flarewing changed her panels around a bit so she looked like a normal Seeker femme, masked her insignias, and changed her red to a deep navy. Once she checked her disguise was in order, and dark enough to hopefully dark enough to make her harder to spot in the tunnels, she started to follow him, wherever he may lead.

Turning the corner of an intersection, Steelcharger's scanner went off. Steelcharger stopped, turning to the tunnel wall and smirking. It was little to ten feet into the earth. So I'm gonna' have to bury it out.. he thought. Steelcharger shrugged, assuming it wouldn't be THAT big of a problem. It would take a bit of work though- and time. Grabbing what looked like a grenade from his belt, Steelcharger implanted it on the tunnel wall and activated it, then rushed a few feet away. The grenade would explode, and revealed a massive hole.
entering through the smoke, Steelcharger set his optics on the object that revealed it's self. A small, flat container. Steelcharger scratched his chin, and decided to ask questions later. Reaching into the hole, the mech grabbed the container and began to walk back out of the tunnel.

What is he doing...
Flarewing thought to herself as she tried to stay out of sight.

Inspecting the containter that was in his servoes, Steelcharger didn't quite pay attention to his surroundings. What is this thing? he thought, searching the container for some kind of label or marking. It seems- important. I've seen the shell before. It's one of those indestructible ones..

Whatever he's got, it must be important.
Flarewing moved a bit closer, trying to get a better look, hopefully without getting seen.

Steelcharger turned another corner and eyed the exit to the tunnel system, seeing the light ahead. Steelcharger picked up his pace, not liking the dark. He really thought someone was watching him. And alone by himself, injury wasn't something he could afford. Even with a mysterious object in his servos.

He's onto me, he must be...alright, just need to calm him down.
Flarewing picked up her pace to follow him, trying to think up a plan for what to do if spotted.

The largely serene picture in the city was shattered when a burning object crashed into the river, missing the bridge by metres. The object had been travelling too fast and had impacted so suddenly that no-one got a good look at it, believing it to be some kind of meteor or downed satellite. Most were just thankful it didn't hit them. Before long, a salvage operation was called in, boats and helicopters circling the crash site, the water still bubbling from the heat of the object.
One of the Helicopters, a Russian Mil MI-26, hovered over the impact site, not even realising it was being scanned by the object as it hovered serenely over it. The operation took several hours to grab onto the object before they could dredge it up. This was largely perceived as worth the wait, when they got their first glimpse of what it was. A large pod, apparently sealed, but definitely a form of emergency transport.
Bringing the device ashore, cordoning off the immediate area as fascinated onlookers filmed and took pictures of the strange object as it was looked over by a team of researchers. Unbeknownst to them, the pod began emitting a signal, damaged in the crash and unable to be detected by Human means. The encryption was intact, a moot point considering the headlines this object was making as live broadcasts from across the world tried to get a glimpse of the object. The signal identified the faction of the occupant with ease.
Decepticon. Apocalypticon sub-faction.

Luckily for Steelcharger, he was near the crash site and experimentation field. However, unlike the humans, Steelcharger picked up a large energy signature. No doubt, it was some form of Cybertronian tech. Activating his thrusters, Steelcharger launched himself up ward to get a better look. The mech landed on his peds moments later, getting a view of the pod. "My my- isn't that interesting.."
It had been ages since he'd seen some form of pod affiliated with the Apocalypticons. They were a big deal- in some form of way. They were the guys the 'cons would call to destroy a planet.. Would it hurt to investigate? he thought.

Flarewing watched on in confusion. What is that thing...does it has something to do with whatever he dug up? She was surprised enough that she hadn't been spotted yet, now stuff is falling from the sky near her...this was a rather odd day for Flarewing.

The pod stood silently, emanating it's signal without the Humans surrounding it ever knowing. Outside the perimeter, a few of the Humans were getting antsy, impatient at not knowing what the object was. As the police struggled to maintain order, one of the crowd jumped the cordon, running past other officers and throwing an object towards the pod.
The researchers ran away from the object, and as it turned out, this was the right thing to do, as the object was a Molotov cocktail. Hastily prepared not an hour ago by the paranoid doomsday prepper that the thrower was. As the man was dragged away, the fire managed to go off right next to several barrels of fuel, igniting in a terrific explosion.
As everyone was swiftly evacuated from the area, the explosion managed to damage the cables holding the Pod in place, having thrown enough shrapnel in that direction to cut into the restraints. After a few seconds of straining, the cables snapped, sending the pod rolling through the docks, narrowly missing a researcher, and rolling into an open warehouse.
As the pod came to rest inside the building, the rest of the researchers made a swift exit, all too quickly noticing the sign labelling the contents within the warehouse as highly explosive, and the fire slowly creeping to the building.

Flarewing tried to quietly move into a position where she could get a clear look at what happened.

As Flarewing closed in, the fire reached the building, a huge explosion sending a plume of fire through the open door and knocking out the windows. As the few remaining Humans expedited their exit from the area, a large object rolled out of the open loading door, the pod, scorched and mangled with the hatch blown apart, from the inside.
As the pod rolled to a stop, several more explosions rocked inside the warehouse, the roof collapsing with a plume of smoke. All was silent for a moment, before the sound of helicopter rotors could be heard over the sirens and escaping Humans. Before long, the smoke was disturbed as an enormous helicopter rose slowly from the burning warehouse, as if rising from the pits of Hell itself.
The huge flying vehicle advanced slowly, not noticing Flarewing as it passed over her, the enormous Red Star normally found on helicopters of this area replaced with the unmistakeable Apocalypticon logo, the white Decepticon emblem that was central to the symbol glaring at Flarewing menacingly as he the helicopter hovered in mid-air, clearly taking in it's surroundings.

Flarewing prepared her null rays and took aim at the helicopter. She steadied her aim and prepared to take a shot, waiting to see what it would do first though.

The massive helicopter did not seem to notice Flarewing just yet as panels shifted across the frame of the vehicle. Transforming, the now revealed Tailspin glared at the space in front of him, arms crossed as he scanned the objects in front of him, taking information from the Internet at the same time. Letting his arms fall to his sides, Tailspin garnered the items in front of him as oil barrels.
With a flick of his wrists, the four Autocannons, two on each forearm, extended slightly, making an ominous clicking noise as Tailspin threw his arms forward and fired, rapid-fire Autocannon shells screaming towards the barrels, igniting their contents in a series of tremendous explosions. With the defenceless objects thoroughly obliterated, Tailspin turned to look at the pod.
Seeing the transmitter was active, Tailspin merely gazed around his surroundings, everything seemed fine, until he caught a glimpse of something, was that another Cybertronian he could just make out? The glint of a barrel caught the corner of his eye and Tailspin reacted immediately, taking aim with both arms, unguided rockets blazing towards the figure in swarms.

((Seriously though. Start being specific about what your character is shooting at, because it did not sound like he was aiming at Flarewing.))
Flarewing quickly transformed and flew up and away. Once she was above Tailspin she transformed and fired her null rays at him repeatedly.
