The femme cringed as she dropped the shoomer, her dainty hands fumbling to correct herself. While she was doing this, Empress lost her balance on Whirl's shoulder and fell off to the side, landing rather ungracefuly on her feet.

She glanced at the fallen weapon as it sparked with corrupted energy and decided against picking it up. No matter though, this medic had integrated weapons. Her servos began to make a series of clicking noises and within seconds they were replaced by weapons. Her right servo had become a bladed, short ranged weapon that served as a shotgun. The left servo had elongated into an axe like blade.

Instead of charging forwards, Empress remained were she was. She fired a few test shots at Backbeat, watching as the white energy landed short of him. The femme let out an annoyed chatter and braced herself.

AS the explosion destroyed the missiles, Jetlag burst from the flames, both arms aimed squarely for Dannybosa as the flamethrowers kicked into gear and sent two streams of flame towards the Autobot, Jetlag himself landing on the ground in front of him. The fire spread out beyond the Tree Dannybosa was propped against, setting it and any other trees in range ablaze, huge amounts of heat radiating from the plumes of fire.

Elsewhere, Meltdown cackled as he saw Gearchange draw out his weaponry and charge him. Standing sideface, Meltdown made a taunting gesture with his hand, daring Gearchange to charge. Waiting for the Autobot to get closer, Meltdown turned his arm around, his Molten Cannon now on top as he fired another stream of burning molten metal to the Autobot.

"I don't tend to keep track of who I try to kill, that'd be just crazy!"

Meltdown grinned, knowing Gearchange's armour would shoot a large amount of cooling fluid to cool the metal off, and likely obscure Gearchange's vision with the huge amount of steam emanating from the cooling process. He readied his other arm behind him, blades ready and waiting as he watched Gearchange get closer, swinging his body around at the last second and stabbing both of his massive arm blades forward, putting all his weight into the strike, combined with Gearchange's speed to likely cause massive damage.

Blitz heard Oracle's message on the comms he replied "Alright. Don't get hurt if they're a con." He contiued to search the area. He eventually found Oracle and the bot he was talking about. He pulled out his SMGs and pointed them to the bot. "Hey Oracle. Reveal yourself stranger."

Med stopped when Blitz approached. The WWII ambulance transformed, revealing the aging medic. He had a faded mark on his shoulder where the Elite Guard wings of his Autobot insignia once were. His electromagnetic conduction pylons sprang out from his arms on impulse, suggesting he had plenty of experience in the field. He spoke with the voice of DeForrest Kelley, better known to humans as the original Dr McCoy from Star Trek.
"You seem very cautious, and have yet to open fire or threaten me.... so you must be an Autobot...."
Med retracted his pylons and sized Blitz up with his aged optics. He drew his sidearm and kept it in a ready position, pointed down at the soil.
"Do you know what is going on, kid?"

Riot cannon and sword clash. Whirl promptly draws back a moment, his optic narrowed.

"Well, some folk would try and confirm by not killin' ya," he retorts, "If ya think you're gonna win that easily, you got another think comin'!"

He swings the sword again, holding the hilt with both claws. Whirl's fighting style isn't usually with blades, but most rotaries have some moderate-to-high degree of skill with their blades; it comes with their natural dexterity.

"I don't figure anything I say is gonna change your mind!" he snarls, "Primus knows it didn't before! Somebody else is gonna hafta stop me..."


He presses his sword harder so that he can whisper venomously to Osp/Gen.

"If they can. Because as long as you want an Autobot for a bad guy... I'll fraggin' give you one."

He pulls back, and then thrusts his sword at Osp/Gen's chest. Despite how he could make it look pretty nice, Whirl's swords-bot-ship isn't delicate flynning or dance moves, but made up mostly of savage, ugly thrusts at the center of mass - meaning that if you don't stop him, he'll stab you somewhere it'll hurt.

((A quick notice. If you think that this is taking waaaaay too long, you can now just "magically leave" aka leave the thread and appear somewhere else, be it in the base or wherever.))

The shotgun blast catches the side of Backbeat's chest as he tries to move out of the way. He brings both swords down on Empress's blocking weapons, trying to force his swords through as the corrupted energy slowly burns through Empress's weapons.

' You'd be surprised... Deathwish keeps bragging he killed Bumblebee... Personally... '

He let's go of the left sword, the now energy-less handle flies towards Empress's head as Backbeat's hand quickly grabs on to Empress's left forearm. Backbeat grabs the arm tightly as he fires a blast of corrupted energy point blank at Empress's left arm

' I've found it simpler not to keep track... Don't want to mix up names and all that... '

(( And people wonder why I hate post orders... Heh... ))

(( I got it... ))

As he attacks he gets a message on his radio... Backbeat stops for a moment and backs off, almost disappointing. He chuckles then looks at Empress 

' Well looks like I'm off my break... See you next time Autobots... '

He does a mock salute and warps out.
