The defense of the southern wall was flagging. The Cons were threatening to overrun. And that's when Galvatron himself showed up.
"As if things weren't already bad enough," grumbled Rattrap, firing his rifle at the swooping Decepticon fliers. "Now we gotta deal with Big Purple over there."
"I think we really are gonna die this time, Rattrap," quipped another Maximal, and he sounded serious instead of sarcastic.
A nearby explosion resounded in Rattrap's ears, throwing Rattrap and several Maximals to the ground along the rampart.
"Don't give up, give 'em hell, Maximals!" shouted Jazz Alpha, and the Maximals responded, regrouping and laying down concentrated fire, trying to fell the Decepticons one by one and make it more difficult for the rest to advance. Jazz manages to clip of the control surfaces of Sinitron, sending the jet-con into a smoking tailspin.
Galvatron waded through the Maximal fire, laughing as it plinked off his armor, almost as harmless as rain. His great orange arm cannon blasted again and again, one shot narrowly missing Rattrap.
"Man, I just hate it when he does that," Rattrap said, firing his Null-Ray rifle at Quake as he tries to rumble right through the Maximal field of fire, blowing the tank bot to bits.
Armorflight tries to sneak his way around the Maximal firezone, but Jazz catches sight of him and blows the jet out of the sky.
Galvatron fires again, finally shattering the south wall and taking out poor Charger. "Oh, man," said Rattrap, fleeing the wall. "This is NOT good."
Galvatron laughs, blasting at the Maximals as they flee to the nearby buildings. The Maximals dig in again, and Rattrap fells The Governator as he attempts to take advantage and fly through the hole in the city's defense.
Frightwing assaults the building, and Jazz Alpha dives out of a window and onto his back. Veering back and forth in a vain attempt to throw the Maximal from his chassis, Jazz pours fire into Frightwing's left jet engine, causing it to gout and then catch fire. As Frightwing spins towards the ground, Jazz Alpha bails onto a rooftop, watching as the Decepticon strikes the ground.
Galvatron is undeterred by the defeat of his troops, reaching into the building where Rattrap was hiding and yanking him bodily from it, throwing him to the ground. Rattrap stands up and cowers before Galvatron, who confidently and slowly lines up a shot. Rattrap cracks off a quick shot, which flies past Galvatron's leg.
"You missed," gloats Galvatron.
"And you're stupid," quips Rattrap, as half the building collapses on Galvatron's head. "Heh heh heh, he's gonna have a headache THIS BIG when he finally gets outta there."
"See if we can't get some construction bots over here - we need to slap a quick fix on that wall before it becomes an open invite to the stinkin' Cons," Rattrap orders. "And we need to get ol' Grapeface outta there before he wakes up."

oh wait there comes a transmission from Ophidian on the east side
