Standing behind a mound of scrap, Bluestreak looked down at the ground in front of him and noticed that his shadow seemed to be growing larger. What the…wait… The gunner then realized there was someone above him and quickly spun around to see Thundercracker leaping down directly at him! "Slag it!" Bluestreak tried to bring his gun up and back away simultaneously, but he was not fast enough. The blue seeker’s feet both connected with his chest plate, sending the Autobot gunner flying backwards and to the ground. Landing hard on his aft section, the blue and silver ‘bot skidded several yards before coming to rest against a nearby wall.
"Ow, that hurt," Bluestreak muttered, the wind having been effectively knocked out of him. He looked up and saw Thundercracker standing about ten feet away, his sites set squarely on the gunner. Blue tried to bring up his gun, but then realized that he no longer had it! He must’ve lost his rifle when Thundercracker drop kicked him. And there’s no telling where it had landed.
Uh oh. I’m scrap, the gunner thought to himself. The only weapons he still had were his shoulder mounted missles, but those were mainly intended for surface-to-air combat not surface-to-surface. If he tried to use them here in this close proximity, the resulting explosion would not only damage his opponent, but it would most likely knock Bluestreak, himself, back into stasis lock. The Autobot’s only other option was to engage the veteran seeker in hand to hand combat. But it would be suicide for Bluestreak to do so, because Thundercracker was both bigger and stronger than the gunner. However, Blue had to do something. Anything.
Using the wall behind him as a brace, Bluestreak push himself up with his legs to a standing position. The Autobot looked the seeker straight in the eyes and did the only thing he could think of…..he smiled.
"Well, well, if it isn’t Thunderslag himself," Bluestreak said in a mocking tone. "I see my little warhead did a number on your aft section. Such a shame. Didn’t your maker ever teach you not to stick pointy things that explode up there?" The gunner’s grin grew wider. "I guess not." As he spoke, Blue began scanning the area for his weapon, but with no luck yet. "Well, Crackerhead, you seem to have me at a disadvantage. I guess we couldn’t just talk this over like civilized bots, huh?……No? I’m sorry, I forgot you’re not civilized are you?"
Bluestreak was literally up against a wall with not many options available to him. So, the gunner opened a commlink to his Autobot comrades: Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Scattorshot, Bravo and Strafe.
<<< Hey, guys! If any of you are looking for a certain blue seeker, well, I’ve found him and could use some assistance right now! >>>
Not waiting for a response or for help to arrive, Bluestreak decided to take matters into his own hands. He transformed into vehicle mode and took off at top speed directly at Thundercracker with the intent of cutting the ‘con off at the knees. Who knows. It might actually work.
