Flypast to Evolution Prime.....Flypast to Evolution Prime. I've spotted something suspicious going on with our Maximal allies. I've seen one of their number conversing with Decepticon forces. I believe it may be the one called Extinction - requesting permission to intercept the possible traitor and interrogate

Intercept and Interrogate. I have suspected there was something going on.

Roger that - I'll track him down, and take out any more of our allies that get in my way

Evolution Prime, this Primedon. It seems that Land Seeker and a few other Maximals took out a squad of Preds around the South Gate region. As you probably already know, we need some major back up here to push the slimy Cons and stinking Preds back out so the wall can be patched. Does any of your engineers have a quick solution to this problem?

[Evolution Prime]

Flypast, just take out the offenders. I do not want to provoke the rest of the Maximals were they could turn on us, complicating the problem.

Primadon, there should be a raw materials factory in that area. Use the metal there to shore up the damage parts and seal the door shut. Use the bodies as scrap if you have to in order to shore up the defenses. Make sure they aren't trying to tunnel under the city. Underground is there to assist.

Orders copied sir - I just wanna make sure they are truly on our side

[Rebirth Megatron]

"AUTOBOTS!!" Ground Zero bellows as he advances on the Autobots.

Moments later Zero and the Decepticon forces surrounding him have surpressed advancing Autobot forces at the west gate.

"I hate Autobots....as much as I hate the pain in my head." The design flaw in his Headmaster conversion had radiation slip through a crack in his chielding into his head, causing the massive Decepticon Titan pain. "AAHHHHH!!!" He bellows as he lashes out at then next wave. "MAKE IT STOOOOOOOOOP!!!

[sumowrestler]

Primedon flies down to see where Land Seeker's battle was at. He sees a very familiar Maximal in the form of Rattrap. Some of the other Maximals are moving the bodies around and throwing them into a pile. Then he sees a huge purple form with an orange canon. Fear leaps into Primedon's matrix as he quickly realizes who it really was underneath that rubble.

Primedon said: Rattrap, you know as well as I that we need to secure this wall with anything we have available. Evolution Prime said something about a raw materials plant nearby that we can use. We could also use the mechs laying around here and in the pile if we have to. Personally, I would prefer using the bodies unless we are afraid that they will get back up. It might even be some fun ripping off the arm cannon of the mighty Galvatron and placing it where all Decepticons and Predacons and see it. As the Con Starscream once said, oh how the mighty has fallen. What about you and me with some of the other Maximals here who are functioning get to that plant and rebuild at least a temporary wall?

[ashe5k]

Neo scanned the defensive perimeter around the Communications array. Destruction and carnage from the previous battles were scattered everywhere and some had been arranged into makeshift walls. Little good they'd do against flyers, but against ground forces those walls were gold.

As he surveyed his troops, QuBits dropped out of the sky, transforming from his scout craft mode on his way down to land just meters away from Convoy and began closing the rest of the distance on foot.

"Neo! Neo! We got problems!" Qubits managed to stammer out. "Just received an encoded transmission from Evolution Prime broadcasting on one of our closed channels. Signals faint and both the 'Cons and Pred 'ave been jamming comm lines all day. I boosted the signal through the array and well, I think you should take a listen!"

Neo snatched up the Comm unit and put it to his sonic receptors. If he didn't have a mothplate everyone would have seen his face fall. He tossed the comm unit back to QuBits.

"Radicals! Form up!" Neo Convoy shouted across the Comm platform. The other ten bots moved over and formed a loose semi-circle around their young commander. "We've got a situation. New orders came in while we were making our way out here and We got them way too late."

Korona glared at QuBits, her optic sensors glowing such a violent shade of blue they almost faded over to white. QuBits flinched and took a step back, not wanting to anger the group's second-in-command any further. He'd seen her temper falre and he did not want to be on the other end of that missile rack when it went off.

"Cool your servo's, Korona," ordered Neo. "It was encrypted and on a low signal. Only cause QuBits could tap into the comm array were we able to get the signal. We're moving out, new location and we have to move quickly."

Celenium started to pout. "But we just got here!"

"I know, that's why we're taking a quick route and resting up while we go."

Highrise blinked in surprise. "We're stealing a shuttle?"

Neo nodded. "Correct."

"Across the 'Con and Pred lines? That's suicide!"

Sentinel 613 chimed in. "Suicide Irrellevent. Mission priority."

"Look you big tin can! You may have used to have been Funk, but you ain't anymore, you're just an emotionless guardian powered by the spark of one of our fallen comrades and I'm not taking any of your pep talk slag!" shouted Highrise.

The guardian robot glared at Highrise, his claw hand opening and clsing reflexively.

"Stow it, Highrise! We got our orders and we're goign to follwo through or more 'Bots could drop tonight." Neo pointed at the shuttle ont he pad nearby. "Now we're taking that thing and goign quick. Korona, I want you to lay down some missile cover fire before we lift off in the shuttle and you take a ride in Sentinel 613. I'd love to take you alogn big guy, but, well, you're a bit too big."

Neo gave Sentinel the new coordinates and briefed the rest of the team on their new objectives. The others muttered in agreement and split up to go to their respective ways.

Rocker patted Sentinel 613 on the leg and Korona on the shoulder as he passed by. "See y'all on the flip side."

Korona muttered under her breath with a smile on her face as she flipped one of her missiles in her hand, "Flip this, you road jockey."

[Rat Convoy]

Oh, fer bootin' up cold! Dose construction bots still need more time, and we had slaggin' Laserbeak gunnin' for us. We showed 'em, though!

[Restless]

Wildshot to Primedon! Griffin sent me on ahead to tell you sorry for the wait and that she and the rest of Gathered Valor will be at the South Wall soon. They got a little caught up, but now the whole team’s on their way to aid the cause! I've just spotted some stray ‘Cons so I’m off to join the fray!
Wildshot out.

[ashe5k]

Neo Convoy to Sentinel 6113 and Korona, What's the hold up?

Enemy tarhets attempted encroachment of Communications array at Altigon. Threat neutralized. Launching now.

"Rocker get your head back in the shuttle and get that door shut! We're a big enough target aas it is without you hanging out the door shooting at cons!" Ordered Neo, annoyed at his munitions officer, but thinking his games were great for morale.

"Just helping out some bros!" smirked Rocker.

[Restless]

“Stupid slagging Decepticons.” Galeforce muttered as she limped away from the battlefield. “Now I’m going to be the last one there.”

Galeforce here…*static*…I was able to take out Thundertron and Bench Press but they still mana..*static*…damage me quite a bit. I’m going to be sitting out of these battles for awhile in the CR chamber.

[Rebirth Megatron]

Data looked uneasy. "A lone Maximal? Are they all outside?"

Suddenly a comm signal comes in from Earthbound.

You ain;t the only one Data. Was yours a Redeemer too?

"Yeah it was. Optics open Earthbound. I suspect there a trap ahead of us." Data replies before ejecting a tape. A grey Jafuar transforms and lands in from of Datamatrix.

"What is your order?" Megabyte asks his creator.

"Scout ahead for anything suspicious." Data says.

"As you will it." Megabyte activates his stealth sheathe and disappears into the shadows.

[sumowrestler]

Sea Shark strolls up to Primedon at the South gate.

Sir, we just got done whipping the Preds just underneath in the tunnels. At the rate we are going, the Preds might as well kiss their hopes on taking this city. They are having troubles keeping up with us, Hopefully we can flush them the rest of the way out and be rid of those flea bitten excuse for floor rugs and accessories.

[Dragonslayer]

Maximus Prime shook his head and put his hands on the display in front of him. We're getting nowhere, he thought. The Autobots under his command had somehow gotten a second wind and managed to stall the Decepticon advance for a while.

But for how long was anyone's guess...

"What do you think, Steelwraith?" Maximus looked over at his tactical officer, who now looked as old as he felt. "We can't keep this up for much longer," he said grimly. "We're low on ammo and energon, our crews are exhausted, and it seems the 'Cons are much stronger than we thought." Maximus sighed and looked back at the display. "Groovy," he said dryly.

The blue Autobot, who by Transformer standards was still young, now felt the weight of age on his shoulders. He stood up and crossed his arms. "Any word from Evolution Prime?"

Searcher shook his head. "We haven't heard anything since Spectrum and Event Horizon came to reinforce us. We hadn't heard much from any units from the other parts of the city, but from what we know they're doing about as well as we are."

A communicator crackled and broke the silence that ensued.

This is Sonicblast. I've spotted another raiding party in Lambda Sector. I'm gonna pick up some other 'Bots and intercept them. Catch ya later!

Maximus smiled slightly under his battlemask. At least he won't stop, he thought. He uncrossed his arms and picked up his Null-Ray Rifle. "Alright. Searcher, stay here and hold things down. Steelwraith, you're with me. Transform and roll out!"

[City Commander]

It had been a bad day for Dealer. Rebooted late, missed most of the action... but things were starting to look up.
Tailgate never saw the seeker take position behind the crumbled wreckage of the gates, and he payed the price for it

[ashe5k]

With the shuttle landed and Sentinel 613 and Korona arrving at the scene, Neo Convoy hammered out their orders.

"We're here to assist the Autobot forces already here. Reinforcements will be coming. No idea when." Neo let that sink in. "We're on our own in Kaon gentlebots and femmes, Let's spread out and do some damage!"

Reporting in! First wave of the attack sucessful. Took out forces on the west side. All Radicals form up on me. QuBits has been hit hard and I have him in the CR chamber. Stay Frosty.

Status: Operational. First Objective: Successful. Unit designate 6-1-3 has breached enemy lines and is approaching rendezvous coordinates with unit designate Korona. Be advised, meeting heavy resistance.

Got jumped by a Maximal strike squad that must have mistook us for 'Cons. Strike squad is in lock at the moment. I'll apologize later. Heading through to the West side to meet up with Korona. Move it team.

Stupid Preds getting in way of Rex. Rex stomp on Pred good! Make mess.

I'm on your side! Taking heavy fire from Maximal allied forces. OUCH! That's a new wax job! You know how long it took to get that leg to look right? Forget this! Slag 'em all!

Neo Convoy reporting in to EP. We have breached Kaon's outer defences and are moving in. Ready whenever you are for that back-up! And for Primus sake, let the Maximals know we're on their side!

[Shadow Dragon]

Lieutenant Shadow Dragon kicks back at Pun-3X bar & grill, the common hangout of Shock & Awesomesauce and sips at a glass of Autobot mech fluid brought to him from today's battles, and checks over the transmissions.

Soundwave report: 3 autobots scrapped.
Liftoff's death: quite enjoyable.

Final Fantasy Inferior
Transformers: Superior

Oh come on now, these chips are here somewhere...
Mixtape was empty, probably too small to be anything good inside anyway, except maybe the bite-sized Pringles, yum...
Aptly named Carcass certainly became an empty one.
Treadblast & Undertow contained some Halloween candy but still no chips.
Sonic Soldier and Plopper were both empty, you would think the bots of the programmer would be full of chips, but all I found was that it was full of sh... (OOC, I simply could NOT pass this joke up )

Thunderwave here, Mr Miyagi forgot to bring Daniel-san with him. I took his head for the oversight.

3 more Autopansys for the pile.

Cliffjumper is a whiny little thing isn't he? Emphasis on the little.

These Autobutts are more trouble than the Minimals but not by much, Let's see how many I can rack up 1&2 3-5 Including that trickster Mirage and the "mighty" Optimus Prime himself. 6&7 #8 #9 10-12 and lucky number 13

I am the best!

Special Agent Ravage reporting... barely hanging on... Almost in stasis... took 5 bots down. Decepticons FOREVER! (OOC woo 1 hp left!)

Targets Caspian & Colinus Maximus Eliminated.

Concussion has been given one.

Squawk! What the pit? Three Primes in one place? And who the slag was dumb enough to give Grimlock a Matrix anyway? Whatever, I made him into one large statue of twisted metal

Ultra Magnus 08 couldn't handle me right then.

So much chaos Higgs Boson was confirmed to be beaten back into a hypothetical state along with 2 of his worthless companions

That traitorous Dinbot has been found and destroyed.

Here's two more wish I could stick around to see the other three taken offline, but I don't think I'm gonna make it...

Woo hoo! I LOVE slagging Autobums! Here's two to start with.

Oh yeah Rumble? Well I call your two autobots.

Yeah? here's one more!
Ow, that slagging HURT!

Hah! still tied

No we're not, here's another one. Oh crap, Big boot incoming!

hehehehehe 3 for me, that means I'm up by 2! OH SHI<Transmission lost>

[Rebirth Megatron]

Daamatrix was leaning up against a wall as ROM and RAM worked to repair him. "Damn, we won but I got sloppy." He looks at the other cons. "Go ahead, I'll catch up in five."

[ashe5k]

QuBits reporting in. Radicals are re-grouping in Kaon and going underground to recharge and plot and plan. Will radio in when we're up and running again.

Took out a few key 'Cons on our way to the underground in Kaon. A little parting giftfor the 'Cons before we bring it all again tomorrow.

Why 'Cons keep getting in way? 'Cons get taste of tritanium jaws!

QuBits out.

[Dragonslayer]

Hey, hey. Sonicblast here. We just stopped another 'Con attack. I personally made sure Annihilator and Ram Rod will still be feelin' pain even after a CR cycle! I'm returning to Alpha Sector now. Tell Maximus that he needs to step it up with his kill count or I'm gonna leave him in the dust!

And to any 'Cons who might be listening in on this: isn't about time you packed up and left? We're sure as hell not going anywhere. Besides, looks like you've got you're own problems. How're things in Kaon?

Sonicblast out.

[BlackDiamond]

"Frosting reporting for duty Evolution Prime sir. I apologize for my tardiness, several of my fellow 'Bots and I were returning to the city as quickly as we could when
we were waylaid."

"We succeeded in repelling the 'Cons and are continuing on to the city. Is there a particular location you would like us to go and reinforce, sir?"

[Raphael Prime]

Conversation between Caniac and Muhsin "Ruu Moose" Ruutu upon Caniac's return to base for minor repairs

Commander Vaynelock. This Fanga, permission to aid Commander Rat Convoy and the others.

Permission granted. But take some back up with you, and be careful out there young one. War is not a pretty sight.

Aye aye, Commander. I will take Amaranth, Enforcero and Cacciatore along with me.
