[Necessary Evil]

Getaway's cruising around the outskirts of Iacon where all of a sudden, he's ambushed by the Stunticons. Little does he know that Ramjet, Dirge and Thrust are nearby and have been contacted by Motormaster. They're on their way.

So, does Getaway have the skills to get the feck out of there alive? Keep in mind he will be intercepted by the Conehead Seekers at one point. Or will the great escape artist get wasted?

G isn't fast enough to escape the Stunticons or the coneheads. He could try to shoot his way out but they'd shoot back.

Drag Strip - gravito-gun - makes things heavier.
Dead End - compressed air cannon.
Wildrider - sprays lasers everywhere.
Breakdown - makes things breakdown.
Motormaster - cyclone gun.

G would have to go off-road, I reckon. He'd go into buildings and tunnels for more cover. Dirge would arrive sooner or later. He'd use his sonic weapon to try to scare G out. It might make G slip up but not completely panic.

Menasor could make an appearance, ripping into structures in an effort to find G. He'd just go deeper in.

It may be necessary for the Decepticons to collapse some buildings, either to crush G or to deny him cover.

I imagine that the Stunticons would have to hunt G through many tunnels while the coneheads circled above, watching for him. It would be frustrating for the Stunticons. They'd be shooting down side passages, trying to flush out the Autobot. They should have some way of tracking fugitives, such as drone spies.

A lot depends on local geography. If there are plenty of open tunnels and buildings, G could escape. Otherwise, he might well be flushed out and executed. Gestalts are good at collapsing tunnels, so Menasor should be busy.

I reckon that G will escape but it will be a close thing. There should be enough intact tunnels to take him away from the hunt. He has a talent for finding escape routes quicker than most people. However, after the Decepticons have searched thoroughly, the area will have significantly fewer escape routes.
