TFARCHIVE FORUMS

Shuttle Ruckus smirked across the cockpit at Barrage . "It's all in the reflexes." He pushed himself from his seat and hunkered back into the hold. With a grunt, he hoisted Backfire onto his shoulder, pulled a pistol, and kicked open the rear hatch. "Lead the way, boss," he shou...

Briefing Room Excavator regarded the image judiciously, expertly deconstructing as much as he could from the view he had. "It'll take a lot of effort to extract it," he started slowly. "Unless you have a naval excavation team, I'll need to build sizeable cranes and transports." ...

Ready Room Excavator continued his design work in silence, having developed a second draft of the project timeline. After one more draft, he'd need to construct a resource allocation chart. As skilled as he now found himself at these tasks, they were also incredibly boring. He worked with one hand ...

Shuttle Ruckus had wanted to ignore Barrage's warnings... until the shuttle's engines went out. The ship slowly arced down into a nosedive, and Ruckus' optics gaped. "We're goin' down! Brace for impact!" The autopilot recognized the emergency well enough to shut down the cloack and deploy...

West Stanix Airspace The cloaked shuttle rocketed through the dark sky on approach to its destination. In the cockpit, Ruckus picked up the radio to hail their rendezvous. " Cyclonus, this is Squawktalk's crew. Our phase of the mission is complete. Request rendezvous coordinates. Over."

Ready Room Excavator rolled into the silent chamber and transformed. He found himself alone, and he expected Gigatron wouldn't be joining him soon. While he sat at a console and began to brainstorm a project flow chart (a task he found simple thanks to the expertise he'd downloaded from Hammer), an...

Prison Infirmary

Bumblebee nodded to Chainclaw and hopped off the diagnostic bunk. His human eyes looked far up at Downshift, but he knew better than to interrupt and ask where he was going next. He was still a prisoner, after all.

Shuttle

Ruckus looked across the cockpit and snickered at Barrage's frustration.

"I got this," he grunted, flipping a switch to seal the hatch and pulling back on the stick to gain elevation.

Prison Infirmary Bumblebee nodded to Chainclaw . "All right, I'll give it a shot. Let's see if I can find it." He concentrated on retrieving his shell from subspace, a confusing process since it was usually fairly automatic. After a moment Bumblebee was enveloped by the Pretender shell, w...

Bridge

Excavator nodded, happy to be given a few moments' leave to ponder. He transformed to APC mode and rolled out of the bridge.

Prison Infirmary

Bumblebee nodded slowly to Chainclaw.

"Yeah, I still have it in subspace. I don't use it very often though. You think I should just use that to recover?"

Bridge Excavator nodded slowly and somberly. He was a bit shocked by Gigatron's grandiose proposition, and he certainly didn't fancy himself a leader of anything. But the project sounded completely enthralling from a technical perspective. "I'll do it," he answered softly. "Where is ...

Ackula wrote:who all is going?

I may put in an appearance. I don't care for LA, but I'll need an excuse to get out of Arizona by that time of year.

Some of those attendance packages are absurd, though. Honestly.

Bridge Excavator's optics floated around the bridge, taking in as much as he could gather from his surroundings. He refered his observations against the information he'd downloaded from his fallen teammates when building his knew frame. His demeanor relaxed, as he was now in a more comfortable mode...

Outside the Electrode Club

Ruckus finished his pre-flight double checks and flicked a switch to bring up the shuttle's external speaker system.

"All right you two, cut the slag!" his voice bellowed out to Barrage and Roadblock. "Takin' off in a hundred astroseconds!"

Prison Infirmary The sting didn't fade, but Bumblebee's twitching became less pronounced as the drip reenergized him enough to control his reflexes. He considered Chainclaw's chit-chat and thought of all the places he'd been, though he wouldn't consider them holidays. "Not really," he gru...

Bridge Excavator knew what he had to say, and he hated it. He supposed he should feel lucky that Gigatron appeared not to remember his prior bouts of insubordination. "I'm here to offer my services to the Empire," he announced coldly. "I can't work for Megatron. I hope you can find u...

Outside the Electrode Club The purple Seeker leapt to dodge Roadblock's missile, but he was too slow. The blast vaporized the bottom half of his right leg and sent him to the ground with a howl. Dazed, he struggled to drag himself from the line of fire. The yellow Seeker ran sideways to take cover ...

Prison Infirmary The slight tingling Chainclaw had warned him about was actually an acute constant sting. Bumblebee twitched against it, but he forced himself not to complain. He focused on feeling the drip, which was beginning to make him feel a bit better. "Yeah, I'm fine," he grunted. ...

Spaceport Excavator was unsurprised by Barricade's transmission blaring out from the ship's speakers. Not much did surprise him, though. He transformed to APC mode and rolled toward the open hatch nearby. **** Bridge After a few minutes of clumsily navigating an unfamiliar ship, Excavator rolled in...
