At the southern area of Petrex, three large anti-air cannons are situated, on facing south, one south-east and one south-west. These are in turn surrounded by smaller anti-air installations, made to keep fighters at bay. Autobots are constantly monitoring them and patrolling around to make sure that everything is working as intended. From the cannons there are three large corridors leading to the center of the city, one from each cannon allowing for quick and easy travel from one place to the next. The cannons themselves are situated some distance away from each other, meaning that it takes a while to get from one cannon to the next.

A Warp opens on the roof of a building in the shadow of the south-eastern gun. Backbeat overlooks the situation. He thinks to himself, he'll need to take out the big cannon obviously, but those smaller instillation will prove to be trouble.
NeVor parks the battle platform, it extends landing claws that lock into the ground at her command. She activates it's holographic disguise, making it look like a pile of rubble.
" Orders? "
Backbeat laughs.
' Turn the smaller guns on the bigger guns... Seems like the best bet... '

****EDITTED---- *****
Like some sort of invasive insect emerging from the creeping depths below the surface, patiently ascended the taller decepticon figures- lurching from the exit in the ground to the crumbled buildings nearby in order to take shelter from being in plain view of their enemies. About 20 klicks away from the South-Eastern target, Kydro and his grab of the gang aligned the Southernmost guns- locating their targets and holding their position. The Vehicon, Seeker, and a few other soldiers had taken rocket-launching canons to blast out the smaller Air units surrounding the large main gun; beneath the surface their droid had drilled a small path to the underside of the massive canons and set three explosive rounds. To finish whatever the blast didn't wipe out- Kydro, the walking AA canon himself, prepped his massive rounds to shatter into the gun pointed to the sky. No one moved at this point. They were just waiting for the droid to finish what needed to be done. It would be another five minutes before the patrol they had been keeping their optics on would return- but they only needed two of those remaining.
Kydro got the silent click from the Vehicon, Jip, besides him. Explosives had been placed. It was time for the green light. His round would be loud enough to be heard by the others that had been given plenty of time to get nice and settled in to take out their designated AA canons. Like lions poised to launch into the heat of a soon-to-be panicking herd of wild beasts they watched the movement of the Autobots ahead of them. Reaching to his helm- he contacted the signal assigned to them with three clicks.

Backbeat chuckles as NeVor takes aim with the battle platform's cannons. Their timing had to be perfect with this. Loaded within were holo-emmiter drones, decoys for use to cause maximum chaos. Backbeat looks around the area. Once Kydro set off the explosives, they were to start their tasks.

There was a moment, where everything seemed to stand still. Then the first shell landed. A giant explosion struck the street between the two cannons, sending dirt, rubble and autobots flying. The next shell hit nearby, demolishing a house and the nearby buildings began to cave in due to the damage they had received. A large cloud of smoke was also kicked up, perfect for anyone sneaking around trying not to be seen. More shells would land shortly, creating chaos on the ground. Petrex was under attack.

The battle platform uncloaks and NeVor fires a volley of emitter drones into the air, they start to take the forms of Decepticon ships. New holomatter facades that would move through the air thanks to the drones at their center and their pre-planned course. Backbeat jumps of the roof and lands in the alley, transforming and gunning it through the smoke covered streets. NeVor meanwhile switches ammo on the battle platform to plasma shells. She sets the gun's AI to auto fire on the smaller anti-air emplacements and then transforms into her stealth plane mode, taking to the air as the battle platform pens fire. Keeping low enough to stay under the anti-air gun's notice. Backbeat notices some Autobot guards attempting to set up a road block and quickly transforms. The five guards were too wrapped up in the battle in the sky to notice him until he was close enough to strike. Backbeat fires a blast from his barrage cannon, the missiles spreading out and throwing the surprised Autobots back. Two of them quickly rally and open fire at Backbeat. Backbeat quickly doges to the side, opening a warp as he does. The other side of the warp manifesting behind one of the guards, causing him to quite literately shot himself in the back. The second Autobot charges at a recovering Backbeat, slaming the but of his rifle into Backbeat's face. As the Autobot attempts to get another hit in, Backbeat grabs him by the throat. The other Autobots finally recover and surround them. Drop him bytes for brains! ' Oh, you kiss your motherboard with that mouth? Guess we know which redshirt dies first... Ha. ' NeVor then swoops in, transforming and launching herself at one of the Autobots. Creating a holomatter knife and plunging it into the Autobot's optic. Backbeat throws his hostage at one of the Autobots as NeVor creates a holomatter blade and sends it at the remaining guard... Impaling him on the nearby wall. " Hogging all the prey to your self eh? "' Wouldn't dream of it... Now let's paint the town red! ' NeVor grins as she rips the Autobot she tackled apart with animalistic glee. Backbeat meanwhile approaches the two Autobots he was fighting, he pulls a laser pistol out of a compartment on his back and casually executes one of the Autobots as they attempt to get up. He slams his foot down on the other Autobot's head, making sure the guard was pinned. ' Bet this isn't how you thought today would go? Eh? ' The guard remained silent... Backbeat chuckled. ' Normally... I don't sully my hands with dirty work... But I've got a lot riding on how this round shakes out. Which means hooray for you... You get to die quickly. ' *BLAM!* Backbeat walks over to NeVor, who had just finished with her "prey". Backbeat activates his radio. ( kydro ) ' Nearing the objective... What's the ETA on that entrance? '

All signs for the attack were a go- and they proceeded forwards with blasting the he'll out of the place. Shells hit and scaled smaller buildings, throwing the Autobot members into shock and blubbering confusion. Even more so when the ground trembled beneath them as Jip detonated the underground mines and explosives directly beneath the AA canon. Dust blocked most of everyone's vision- but Kydro was well aware how their marks had been true and their shots, a success. The sillhoutte shape of the largr Air canon was shattered as the base had been reduced to ruins, the front had sank deep into the ground rendering it useless. His team took out the smaller units surrounding the canons when their presence was made known.
Kydro was the first to lead them into combat to whatever soul still stood after such explosions. One of the team members stayed behind to snipe out the wounded scragglers- but that still left plenty alive for the group to tear into. Just cleaning up their mess so they could proceed.
He came out of the dust with axe blazing- cutting down a few panicking members like a wolf taking a deer. They clashed with whatever autobots remained before his commlink burst into life.
He stood- tearing his axe out of the backstruts of a blue mech while replying back.
::ETA for an entrance? Clarify that please.::

A few of the holograms seeming popped out of existence. Some of Backbeat's drones got caught in some stray gunfire from the sky. None of the Autobots on the ground had seriously noticed as they were all busy with the forces on the ground. They were all incredibly well trained in their deployment, each soldier very quickly deploying barricades and cover on the areas that had not been hit. It was almost as if they went over this drill daily. A good portion of Decepticon attackers would be consumed by the hail of Autobot fire in their defensive and all around, much better deployed positions.
From the smoke, a single Autobot flier was there. Rangefinder had moved ahead of the deploying fliers and went in to assist as soon as possible, as mandated. He was quick and dangerous, flying by random squads of decepticons and spraying them down with quite a bit of ammo. His first objective was to hit the pair ahead of the main Decepticon force. Why he went around the side and partly through their line? Just so he could get a better shot at Backbeat and NeVor.
Within moments, his incredible speed withing vehicle form took him right over their position. He took the opportunity to open up on them with with pair of neutron assault rifles spraying them down with ammo in their general direction. It wasn't a contained spray and would aim for them and about a foot around them.

::Kydro to Backbeat- it looks like you have airforce coming in hot. If you haven't taken out your canon yet I suggest you do it Now. Just cleaning up here and we will be in for backup.::
He flipped off his commlink as he watched the jets fly in the distance- if only they were closer. The Orange mech sighed and shook his helm as he turned and joined his group of elite forces that were waiting for him. Swordflare, the taller seeker, was just slowly dragging his blade out of a shuttering Autobot frame. They looked to him for further orders.
"Alright- it looks like we'll need to go in for assistance. Pack it up, let's go. Flare- as soon as that Canon is down so want you in the air shredding those flying tin cans apart."
The mech flashed him an eerily calm sinister grin as they took off to lend their assistance to the further distance to the second AA canons.
"Hope we make it in time..."

Shadowfire’s alt mode wasn’t that fast, but due to it being a aircraft it was still pretty swift. He looked over the destruction and cursed. Before rotating around he battlezone looking for decepticons “I swear that when I find you, will be nothing but a pile of scrap that no one can identify!” He fumed to himself. Seeing some decepticons he dropped two bombs at them, before lightly turning to confirm they would kill them.

As the Autobot jet strafes them with machine gun fire, NeVor raises her hand to create a hard-light shield. Blocking most of the fire directed at them. Backbeat would roar with anger as he fires a blast of his barrage cannon at the Rangefinder, the missile splitting into a burst of smaller rockets directed at the Autobot. Backbeat would then turn to NeVor. NeVor nods and tosses him the control for the battle platform gun.
' You go play with our new friend... I'm going to go cause some damage. '
Backbeat would open a warp and step thru. NeVor jumps into a nearby alley activating her sniper rifle and creating a two holomatter copies of her self. All three of the NeVor's spread out, taking sniper points. The first climbing onto a nearby ledge behind a small wall, the second positioning herself on the roof above behind a pile of rubble, and the 3rd on the street level behind a ruined section of wall. They all speak in unison as they take aim.
" Your our prey now Autobot. "
Backbeat meanwhile reappears on a roof top near one of the small Anti-aricraft guns facing the larger South-Eastern one. He pulls out a laser pistol and jumps down. Smashing through a window, he lands next to the smaller gun's controls and shoot's the Autobot controlling it thru the head. The Autobot's corpse slumps over the controls. The Autobot's spotter turns around and is shot in the chest a couple of times by Backbeat. Backbeat shoves a shelf infront of the door to barracade it. He hears guards downstairs rushing up the stairs as he walks over to the gun's control console. He throws the dead Autobot off the control panel and sets it's the gun's new target to the large AA-gun. He pulls out the control for the battle platform and changes it's target to the same spot on the south eastern gun. The plasma shells of the battle platform wouldn't normally do much to dent the large AA-gun, but they did cause enough heat and stress to allow the Decepticon controlled AA-Gun to cause damage to the barrel of the gun. The while it wouldn't destroy the cannon, the cracks and warping caused by this focused fire would make the gun very unsafe to fire. A concerned Backbeat radio's Kydro as the sound of Autobot guards pounding on the door is heard.
' NeVor's tied down dealing with Autobots... Oh.. about the gun... Wait for it... '
The South eastern gun attempts to fire, but as the shell travels thru the barrel it hits the part that Backbeat damaged and explodes prematurely wrecking the gun with a loud boom.
' I think that was it... Anyway... I'll call you back. '
Backbeat sees that the Autobot troops are almost thru the door and chuckles. Aiming his barrage cannon at the door, he readies himself for a fight.

Rangefinder wasn't gonna keep laying down fire on a shield when a clear target popped their head out to fire a rocket. He isn't dumb focusing on one sole shield. When the rocket was fired, it never even got the chance to erupt into a hail of smaller missiles before getting loaded with neutron assault rifle fire and exploded just out of Backbeat's range. He then held his fire until he could get a shot at them again. This did allow Backbeat to escape into a pretty bad idea overall.
Within the smaller AA gun in the array, he had eliminated the first Autobot almost immediately, though the second one did get out one thing before his own death, "Decepti- agh!" The soldiers below didn't try to get in, they retreated and signaled the other AA guns in the array to open up on the one Backbeat took over. Instead of getting any shots off, Backbeat's stolen AA gun would be met by a hail of AA fire from the others within the group. The soldiers had already retreated out and entered the battlefield to defend the city. Backbeat's stolen AA gun however? Oh that thing was toast. It wasn't gonna be that easy to take down the larger guns, he was gonna have to use a different plan, and escape the collapsing gun.
Rangefinder waited for NeVor's little thing to happen, the AA gun was shot at, but no real heavy damage was done to it. It did get some burns on the side of the barrel from the battle platform, nothing warping it though... Well it gave away it's position, good to know, first he had to deal with crazy glitch over here. He transformed into his robot form and held his neutron assault rifles out. "Great distraction, nothing happened." He then opened fire at all three of the NeVor's, just spray to find out which one would respond the most realistically since holograms can't be too advanced. Once he identified the correct one based one which one SERIOUSLY took to defending herself, he'd stick out his left arm and replace his second rifle with a tow cable and fire it to her or her hardlight shield if she pulled it out. After that, he'd fly low then off into the city to drag her along the ground if she actually got caught, namely towards the battle platform that had foolishly revealed itself.
Either way he was going this way to complete objectives. Current objective? Eliminated dangerous battle platform. Once he got to hit, he began performing flybys, laying down volleys of light gunfire at any pilots on it to hopefully disable it for a moment or two. He didn't want that getting too close to the guns to become a threat.

Not even a word needed to be spoken from the darker orange mech as they dully took note of a buzzing airial 'bot droning above them. A whistle in the air signaled that whatever reinforcement tried to avenge the mass destruction and chaos he had just blessed the smoking ground with, had just dropped a load of explosives. Kydro dropped his visor and began to shift his main weapon as his sniper that hung back taking cover behind rubble lined up the shots- and fired. Three rounds- two that broke into scatter-shots carrying the speed that would be needed to penetrate the casing of the warheads dropped. This guy was a mathematical genius, and Kydro appreciated his shooting skills. In fact, he was slightly jealous. The mech didn't even look up to the mid-air explosions or the casing shrapnel raining down from the detonated bombs. His interest was the fact that the autobot was still alive. He heard the click of weapons besides, and behind him, all readying themselves. Was this autobot really an idiot? Or was the anger of seeing the destruction enough to impair its decision making. Either way, it was about to get a taste of dirt. Seeing as Kydro was a walking anti-air weapon, the massive barrel that he had shifted to his shoulder was aligned and loaded for the shot. With his lower visor he calculated the distance- the Autobot was just in range, especially seeing as it slowed to see if its targets had made impact... Three rounds rocked out of his prepared stance- each large slug that left the barrel created a fume of black smoke. His rapid-firing barrel had been aimed in shooting just in front of the flying 'bot, two rounds ahead, and one round center. If total annihilation or severe damage wasn't received, it would be more than likely that the 'bot would at least be taking a good nose-dive into the ground. They had too much to do, and little time to waste on such meager distractions. The group was already proceeding with weapons raised to a new destination. Nightlock

Backbeat quickly warps out as the building is shredded, reappearing on a nearby building as his plan is foiled.
' Scrap... Plan was fun... Execution needed some work. '
Backbeat chuckles, spying the power supply at the base. He dashes from roof top to roof top as he made his way to the nearest smaller AA-Gun. Trying to avoid Autobot reinforcements. He reloads his barrage cannon as he does.
Rangefinder's blast at the first NeVor goes right thru it. The Autobot's shots at the second cause her to duck, and as Rangefinder would fire at the second NeVor, the third would fire three shots of her sniper rifle at the distracted Autobot, aiming for his chest.
" Your not even close. "
The second NeVor would fade away as the real NeVor lines up her next shot. NeVor focused on taking him out before he reached the battle platform.
Backbeat pulls out the controls for the battle platform as he jumps from roof to roof. He re-selects it's target for the power supply below the gun. It fires a barrage of plasma shells at the power conduits that fed the large gun. Backbeat reached his target, stopping on a roof overlooking the smaller AA-gun. Backbeat pulls out his laser pistol and and his spare pistol. He opens a warp below him and falls through, reappearing insides the room, falling from the ceiling. As he falls he opens fire on both surprised Autobots in the room, making sure both of them are too dead to trigger an alarm. He would then quickly move to the gun's command console and aim it at the South-eastern gun's power systems. He slams his fist down on the fire button and the AA-gun opens fire. Backbeat chuckles to him self, his mission was to cause chaos. Something he was doing marvelously, taking out a main gun was icing on the cake.
Backbeat looks out the window to watch the resultant fire ball.

Oblivian, though slightly late in arrival, flew on in to rangefinders aid, his guns fireing at the nevor, once he had noticed that was the target rangefinder was being held up against.
As he came in closer he tried to comm in rangefinder. "sorry about the late arrival, but now that I'm here what should happen next?"

Shadowfire swung his wing to the side trying to dodge the shells, but in his haste he was forced to land, moving closer to the ground he transformed, using his war pick to slow himself down as he landed and rolled across the battlements. His deep purple made him hard to distinguish from the rest of the night, but his Red Autobot symbols on his should struts quite clearly marked his allegiance. “Dam you all to The pits!” He barked to no one in particular, just himself, before moving out of cover to fire his fusion cannon at the one who shot at him first. He growled before his visor briefly let up getting Rangefinder’s transmission “Get the Decepticon l out of the cockpit of our AA gun!”

Kydro barely turned his helm at the first shot firing from the 'bot that foolishly broke his cover. "You should of have stayed hidden."His voice echoed out to no one in-particular as from behind the group- the marksman sniper ripped the air apart with the sizzling shots to bite deep into the autobot's armor as it openly exposed itself. The silver seeker that had been accompanying him had seen the 'bot begin to dive outwards, and nudged one of the vehicons lining the front ring. They activated a fore-arm shield that either absorbed or reflected the bullets. One of them deflected and spun- almost clipping Kydro in the helm. Irritated, the mech decided to add a bit of firepower to the sniper rifle that had fired two rounds, close distance, at the running mech. Now that he was on ground- the Autobot would move much too slow to be able to spin out of his guns this time. He didn't need much time for reloading at all-- He turned his frame to face the attacker, and aimed. One- two- three rounds left his longer cannon barrel at a rapid rate, the same ferocity that it had when ripping through the air. The heavy slugs aimed at the Autobot, that may of have already been clipped by a few bullets. He was still proceeding forwards, if he didn't finish the job then those behind him would all have their turn opening fire at the mech. Kydro still kept his optics on the Autobot through his now lowered visor- he didn't want it to escape with its life. If it somehow persisted, it would find itself stuck in a lot of heat. Kydro signaled for the team to move out, he was unable to waste any more time in this area, as much as he missed fighting... They transformed into their alt modes with tires screeching and took off across the battlefield to the Western guns where Backbeat had last been noted. Swordflare took to the sky- but stuck very close to them on the ground. The sniper that had been behind them took an alternate route in his vehicular form, making a wider semi-circle from the group if they were to be needed for assistance. Kydro remained front-centered, with the faster darting vehicons lining in front of him while he led the heavy hitters. The battlefield was rough and cluttered from the rebel, every now and then they'd find themselves air-born from shooting off a slanted slab of cement. Kydro was careful to use the busted buildings as cover while they weaved their way through and around towards the heavy fire that grew ever nearer. He gave Backbeat a heads up, so the mech could either provide them with cover to enter, an update, or a warning. He could guess there was a mass of Autobots zipping around, but when they drew closer one of the smaller AA units was turned on its own. He'd find out whether that was who he was looking for soon enough... He risked the commlink for a split moment. ::Knock knock anyone home?:: Backbeat

The artillery shelling of the area soon decreased, until it ulimately stopped. The constant explosions soon were gone, but the sounds were still there. The cannons hadn't stopped firing, they merely changed their target. Now they had a target in the northern sector instead, leaving everyone in the southern parts free from the artillery barrage.

Shadowfire shouted in pain as his shoulder was nearly blown off by the impact of the bullet...shaking his helm he looked up “Dammit!” Slamming his arm on the ground trying to get feeling to return he got up and looked for survivors. <: command... guns are down they are now after the southern guns...requesting orders.:> Vatimus Prime

Rangefinder was struggling to avoid NeVor's shot, getting nicked in the thruster. He quickly transformed back to robot form, turned around and fired a tow cable to NeVor. If he could stay attached to her real one, he could shoot her, which gave him the best chance of victory. If his tow cable did attach, he'd land on the ground, grab onto the cable and yank as hard as he could to throw her off balance. After that, he'd open up at her to try and put a few rounds into her chassis.
The AA guns all had a new plan for their Backbeat problem, a few soldiers at the base of the gun set some charges and after getting to a safe distance, detonated the AA tower, causing it to collapse in on itself. It didn't stop Backbeat from putting some serious rounds into the massive AA gun he was targeting though. With the assistance of the battle platform, the first gun's power supply exploded and a small trail of explosions could be seen until the gun shut down and slump downwards.
::All Autobot forces, we're put out a massive planet-wide alert, soldiers from all over are coming. We must hold out until they arrive because once they do, we can begin to seriously push them back! Just keep as many guns alive as you can!::
