>>”Never underestimate the enemy, Divebomb.”<< Razorclaw commed back to his aerial subordinate before the Predacon Commander followed behind Motormaster as they approached the entrance to the underground lava tubes.
Motormaster wrote:"Agreed. This place is no place for a Cybertronian. Organic gunk everywhere. And the humidity. Of all damned places...Not that it matters. We need this ore and nothing save for a slaggin’ miracle is going to stop us retrieving it. And if I gotta get my actuators dirty so we get the slag away from here faster, so be it.”
Walking up alongside the Stunticon Commander, Razorclaw nodded. “This world is disgusting much like the organic coverings I’m wearing, but it is a necessary evil to achieve our goals. The ore is worth all this discomfort, my friend.”

Motormaster as he transformed into his lion alt mode and made his way down into the lava tubes.

Breakdown wrote:"Shirkers?! How dare he!”
“Just ignore him,
Breakdown,” Drag Strip said as they headed deeper into the volcanic underground. “He’s just trying to get under your armor plates.”
Breakdown wrote:"I think the greenies found something…"
“Indeed,” the yellow racer replied. “Let’s follow before the boss decides to kick us, too.”
Drag Strip followed Scrapper and the others as their pace quickened. Soon, they met up with Scavenger who then took them to where Bonecrusher had found the ore. Natural light had all but disappeared this deep underground. Instead, a brilliant purple glow illuminated the tunnels as a multitude of veins of Ore-13 stretched out across the walls and ceiling around them.
Dead End wrote:“I suppose this is the part where we, the shirkers, are to toil away now?”
“Yes,
Dead End,” Drag Strip answered. “This is were the ‘fun’ begins.” The yellow racer then approached
Scrapper. “Us Stunticons are here to help. Where do you want us to start?”
Dinobot Shuttle – Over AfricaSnarl wrote:“We all want Decepticons found, Leader Grimlock.”
Grimlock turned to look at the Desert Warrior. “Me never said otherwise,
Snarl. But, me patience wearing thin.” The rex-former wanted to fight Decepticons. He wanted to show Autobot High Command how to take the fight to the enemy instead of just sitting around waiting for the Cons to make the first move. A more proactive stance was needed to win the war and Grimlock wanted to prove that he was right.
Sludge wrote:“Grimlock! Scanner beeping.”
The Dinobot Commander returned his attention to the main view screen as Swoop brought up the alert that was causing the beeping. “What is it, Swoop?”
Swoop wrote:Scanner beeping because ship find something. It just flared moment ago. Not from 'Con ship trail. From energon and ore. On planet."
“On planet?” Grimlock replied, rubbing his chin guard. “This no coincidence. Trail lead to same area where energon ore now detected? No coincidence! That where we find ‘Cons!” The Dinobot leader then stood from his command chair and pointed directly at the source on the view screen. “Set a course,
Swoop! Take us there now!”
