Over the Rust Sea, approaching the coastline
>>Very well, Discord, we shall be there momentarily. I expect you to acquit yourself well.<<
In some ways Scourge was glad of the impending battle. It was were mechs of his construction were meant to be, expressing themselves through death and destruction, not micromanaging drone patrols and organising recon data. Yes, a good hunt was just what he needed right now.
"There are Autobots in the Hieghts, Carnage. Our objective should be clear. If it is feasible, try to take one alive to be sent back to Iacon, babbling our names as a warning." With this, Scourge's afterburners activated, and he flashed over the coastline. He didn't even need to say to Carnage and Rage that they were to follow him: This was the direction to the prey, there was no other way a true Sweep could go.
Near Refinery Complex Three
Straining against the bulk of Sludge, Slag squeezed forward, digging his new horns into the port airlock of the Dauntless. Crunching, twisting, growling, the Airlock finally popped off, and Slag fell out, finally able to ventilate properly.
"...uugh...scrappit Sludge! Urgh...Hey, Us LSC make it! And there refinery right there. Quick, someone get demo charges, we make fireworks!!"
Then Slag noticed incoming shapes in the air. Odd, box-shaped, three-engined somethings were approaching. "Stop lying around, rustpiles, they got some kinda new seekers coming. You slowpokes get in gear and set charges, me Slag not gonna cover for you all day!!!"
Deceptibase Tau - Command Centre
"I hope not Hook, I hope not..." Scrapper said back to his second-in-command as the Constructicons reached the command center. Scrapper instantly saluted, the others took an astrosecond or 2 to respond in kind (Bonecrusher took 5).
"Lord Thunderwing, the Constructicons are fully fueled and ready for...anything. Do you wish us to reinforce the base or..."I don't even want to say it. Well, one guilty part of me does, but..."Would you prefer we were deployed in a forward position?"
