So, it appears you are everything I expected, Maximus, Lockdown thought as Maximus maneuvered into position. Yes, understanding how to work mechs was a talent Lockdown had developed over the eons. It helped when those he did business with were so predictable. Oddly enough, he thought of the Autobots as being the wild cards in a negotiation as he rarely did business with them. Their penchant for wanting a foe returned in relatively one piece took most of the fun out of his job.
Besides, he knew it’d eventually get boring dealing with a group of mechs that were so high and mighty. Though they did pay up when a job was done…
Movement caught his optic before Maximus spoke, but he kept his faceplate even. Instead, he made careful note of the mech. She was good at her job as he hadn’t noticed her or her comrades until they made themselves known. They were too good, and he wondered how much of his conversation they had heard.Fortress Maximus wrote:"We have company," Maximus said, giving a brief nod in the direction of the mech who had earlier attempted to get their attention.

“Maybe not you, Autobot.” He left it at that. He was sure he got his meaning across. It was a gamble on his part, but he wagered it would further help Maximus to honor their agreement.Nightbird wrote:"I am not a babysitter..”
Lockdown could only stare in awe as the group started explaining their reasoning, then began bickering with each other. They are bickering, aren’t they? Amateurs. Lockdown turned away from them and focused on the chaosteros.
He paused as one of the newly created gestalts attacked the creature. For the moment, he felt he knew why Scorponok wanted Jhiaxus terminated so badly.
His audio receptors rang following Monstructor’s latest attack, but he quickly shook off the effects as his optics locked on the gapping hole the combiner’s sword had left. A way in. Smirking, he sent an order to his ship to prepare a launch sequence. With the chaosteros’ attention on the combiner, he knew this was the time he’d been waiting for.
This won’t take long.
With a grace that belied his size, Lockdown leapt down the remainer of the mountainside, and as soon as he landed on the ground, he transformed into his 1960s style Cougar. His wheels spun as they sought purchase in the mostly mechanized soil. When they caught, he tore forward, swerving to avoid the debris, mechs, and stray laser blasts.
A few laser shots grazed him, and more than a couple of mechs left scratch marks as he knocked them to the side. He wouldn't allow anything to slow him down now.
Nearing the back of the monster, he sped up, and using a partially flattened mechanized tree as a ramp, launched into the air. Transforming in mid flight, he landed on the lower portion of the chaosteros and slammed his hook home to keep from falling off.
Grunting as energon surged through him at the prospect of acquiring his target, he began climbing, pulling himself up toward the opening, continuing to use his hook to secure his grip.
Scorponok’s forces may have given him this opportunity, but he would ensure it was him alone that returned with Jhiaxus’ head as proof. It would make a perfect trophy for his collection.

Call it a suspicious hunch but I fear that Jhiaxus might be able to persuade them to his favor if we are unlucky. Break off from the main attack, observe and report.”<<

AFTRHR wrote:“Hey, everyone,” he began, trying to draw attention towards himself. This would be one of the few times when he would try to do that. “Sorry, I’ve been trying to uncover as much as I can while I was undercover.”
