Battle For Copernicus Part 1

This is the titanic space battle outside the Copernicus Station(currently known as the Not-Blot Station) See Part 2 for the epic battle taking place inside the station!

 Monitor says, "Secure frequency open : Alpha"

< Decepticon > Monitor has encrypted this channel.

< Decepticon > Monitor says, "The Autobots are include in whatever they're doing. I'm trying to gather more intel."

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "Hnn this may be a trap. We know they intend to challenge our supremacy of SPACE!"

< Decepticon > Monitor says, "They're is a high probability they're trying to make a diversion before attacking the space laser."

< Decepticon > Monitor says, "There*"

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "Hnn."

< Decepticon > Ramjet fingertap.

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "Well. Better safe than sorry."

< Decepticon > Compile says, "Why not just find the EDC fleet, and target them with the laser. Plus we might hit a few bot."

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "Decepticons of the Sol System! This is Air Commander Ramjet!"

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "I place all Decepticon installations in this sector on HIGH alert! All troopers to your combat stations. Bring Trypticon up to level THREE awareness!"

< Decepticon > Redshift deadpans, "Yes, your coneship."

< Decepticon > Monitor says, "Autobot communication encrypted. Proceeding to decrypt it but it's gonna take some time."

< Decepticon > Wiretap says, "I'll assist, Monitor."

< Decepticon > Wiretap says, "Preliminary radio sweep indicates our channel remains secure for now."

< Decepticon > Monitor says, "Apparently the humans found something that would give them victory in antartica. I suggest to send a recon unit...just in case."

''Note: There may be poses missing here, as Autobots are approaching the station. Please add if you have additional log data!''

Deadeye is witht he rest of the attack force, checking his weapon systems, as missiles unfold form his right arm and he checks them, before they fold back into the arm. He checks his other weapon and and it folds back into his left arm as he looks at everyone, "My systems are currently at 100," he states.

< Decepticon > **ALERT** **ALERT** Autobot Command Carrier < Orion Pax > moving toward < Not-Blot Station >.

< Decepticon > Galvatron says, "Nnn."

< Decepticon > Galvatron says, "Kill them all."

Glaive II - Prototype < Nate Briar > has arrived.

In the hanger bay of the Orion Pax, as the ship itself draws near the station formerly known as Copernicus, Rodimus Prime paces back and forth anxiously. Finally, he stops and turns towards the Autobots and their assembled allies. "They know we're coming. They've got to. So at this point, we're just brute forcing this all the way in. The Orion Pax is on direct approach - we expect weapons fire at any moment, but her armor should hold out long enough. Once we're near enough, we're attaching a boarding tube, locking on, and moving in. Simple as that."

< Decepticon > Compile says, "Music to my ears."

 Ramjet says, "Well."

< Decepticon > Shockwave, despite not being played, whines, "Decepticons! We're under attack! Scramble! Scramble!"

Deadeye nods as he is with the rest of the attack force, checking his weapon systems, as missiles unfold form his right arm and he checks them, before they fold back into the arm. He checks his other weapon and and it folds back into his left arm as he looks at everyone, "My systems are currently at 100," he states as he looks over at Rodimus and his left arm opens up, and the weapon, a rifle folds out and takes place on his arm.

Redshift, the /penultimate/ space warrior of the Decepticon's Aerospace forces(or so he says) cruises along in near-earth orbit, spreading out a net with his meagre sensors to try and pinpoint the location of the incoming Orion Pax. Which shouldn't be too hard, since the Orion Pax is a whopping size 20(!) Redshift changes his trajectory to close in on the massive, weapons-bristling Orion Pax, lowering his power output to avoid unwanted attention.

Crosscheck checks on his own weapons. Nothing really impressive but hopefully he won't have to use them. His plan is to remain behind and take care of the wounded. The scentist takes a look around him as he listen to Rodimus. He looks quite nervsou since it's been a long time since he didn't go to fire.

Raptor has arrived.

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "They must be here to disrupt the power of our laser-cannon system."

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "They must not succeed!"

< Decepticon > Compile says, "Well, lets give them a taste of what they want to stop."

< Decepticon > Redshift says, "Whoa, I never knew the Orion Pax was so huge"

Combat: Decepticon Starship < Absolution > is size 20, vastly larger than you.

Fragment launches from the space station's huge hangar doors.

Fragment has arrived.

< Decepticon > Compile says, "Size doe snot matter, its how big of an explosion it will make."

< Decepticon > Monitor says, "Size doesn't matter... or so they say."

Scattershot is standing towards the back of the crowd, but he then tugs his rifle out of subspace as Deadeye checks his weapon. "brute force it huh? Bout slaggin time." he growls as he looks out to the looming station. "I hope Briar doesn't mind us making this thing into scrap."

Apocryphacius really has to wonder why he's here. But his not to question why, right? He toys with one of his creations with a pair of tentacle. It's a small, oblong object, and it glitters with far too many winking lights. It is quite possibly the most dangerous thing he has ever designed. He probably shouldn't be poking it the way he is. However, that Mimas super-laser, he worked on that too, though not alone. The Quintesson knows its schematics; knows what it can do. Better to destroy that thing if they cannot retake it.

'I'll be fine I'll be fine I'll be fine...' Jayson, inside his armor, is not too happy. He's still not at all fond of going into space, even while aboard a sturdy ship like the Pax. At the moment he is fidgetting, but quiet as he listens to Rodimus and repeatedly tells himself that nothing will happen.

From inside the Glaive Prototype, Shinjuku Thief is being played from Nate's speakers on a very low volume as he relaxes. The Colonel is scanning for a sign of what is to come. He's irked that he didn't get a chance to have the decoys finished in time to help with this mission, but for now, he moves his way towards Rodimus Prime. He transmits over his radio, < < The EDC is ready to fight by your side. We have everything we need to assist. > >

Kup grits his teeth, smacking a fist into the palm of his other hand. "Fine by me. I'm in no mood to sneak around like a git after what they did to Metroplex." He glares out into space past the pressure field. "And then there's the fact they stole that damn station and slagged it all up with their fingerpainting. Gotta settle that account, too!"

Raptor is standing ready, Black tactical visor down and ready for action. Battle-plate active and is flesh with the dark visor, hiding all of his face. Assault rifle resting in his hand, the barrel aimed down, and he seems fully relaxed, even in the situation, which is where he could get blown away-- and more correctly, blow away into space to drift forever. After all F-22's were not made to fly in no atmosphere-- needed to fix that one day.

Trailbreaker leaves the Glaive II - Prototype < Nate Briar >.

Trailbreaker has arrived.

Trailbreaker is last to arrive... as usual.

The Copernicus Station, since it's take over by the Decepticons and it's re-naming to the 'Not-Blot Station', has has it's defenses upgaded for this very reason; The huge, energy-hogging space laser cannot be easily re-directed towards the incoming Orion Pax, but batteries of smaller lasers CAN. Bright purple beams of energy strak out from the station's defensive weapons, blasting towards the titanic Orion Pax warship.

Spaceship < Fragment > launches from the station, a dart-like vessel obviously of bad-guy design. Propelled by the alert and call to scramble and kill. He archs outward, not flying directly between the station and the approaching violating Autobot juggernaut. < < Seems we lit a fire under their tailpipes. > >

Rodimus Prime gives a sharp nod towards Nathan Briar. "Thank you." He, like Kup, turns towards the field as 'Not Blot', the twisted mockery of what once belonged to the EDC, looms large in their view. By this point, the station is under fire, and from inside, the sounds of distance hammering against its armor can be heard - from inside the ship. It's not enough, however, to stop the sharp-pointed tube that now extends towards the Decepticon upgraded, but ultimately human vessel.

Crosscheck is standing behind all those assembled near the tube's entrance. He takes those last precious moments to check his medical supplies. He could not carry much but fortunately his alt-mode his well equipped so he should be able to keep everyone going for a while. Once he's done, he grabs his laser pistol and waits for the boarding.

Astrotrain enters from the Stratosphere above Western Hemisphere.

Astrotrain has arrived.

Unstoppable (at least for now), the boarding tube makes contact and a seal is put in place. "AUTOBOTS! EDC!" bellows Rodimus at the top of his voice, "Our time is NOW! They've used your home," he gestures towards the EDC members, "against ours, and today they learn that this WILL NOT STAND!" He pivots towards the tunnel and is already running when he shouts, "Autobots! /ATTACK!/" And with that he transforms, rolls forward, and rams directly /into/ the side of the station that is sealed in by the glass tube, creating an entrance!

Rodimus Prime transforms into his Winnebago < Rodimus Prime > mode.

 Ramjet says, "They're breaching the structure!"

 Ramjet says, "Decepticons, battle stations!"

Astrotrain has left.

Astrotrain enters Not-Blot Station.

Photon has arrived.

Unfortunately Crosscheck isn't equipped with a vehicule mode to follow the others (curse you Vector Sigma!) So he starts running down the tube, trying to stay as close as Rodimus as he can since it seems like a safe place to be during a battle.

Rodimus Prime has left.

Jayson swallows. "Here goes nothin'," he mutters, activating his armor's thrusters. He speeds after Rodimus.

Crosscheck has left.

Jayson Redfield leaves the Exo-Armor Pegasus < Jayson Redfield >.

Jayson Redfield has arrived.

Apocryphacius has left.

Exo-Armor Pegasus < Jayson Redfield > has left.

Jayson Redfield takes Exo-Armor Pegasus < Jayson Redfield >.

Jayson Redfield has left.

 Fragment says, "Hmph, boarding tube. One bridge burning coming up."

From Glaive II - Prototype < Nate Briar >, < < I did not know that Winnebagos can fly in space, Jase. Did you just see what I saw? Man, Bailey is never going to believe us!" radio the Colonel over his music. The exo is piloted into the hole that Rodimus has made and the pilot is having the vehicle pull together the sniper rifles and weapon systems. < < Jayson, remember when you left this space station... That rage and anger? Well, relive it! >  >

Mindwipe has arrived.

Glaive II - Prototype < Nate Briar > has left.

Sunder arrives from the NCC Spaceport.

Sunder has arrived.

Kup waves the Autobots in, yelling, "Into the breach, lads! I'll bring up the rear and make sure everyone makes it inside!" Lasers begin to slap against the shields holding all of the air inside the hangar, but Kup manages not to flinch. And once all of the Autobots are inside the tube, he clambers in, himself, seals a hatch behind him, and begins to run down its length. "Sorry, lass," he mutters, looking up at Copernicus station through the glass. "I shoulda tried harder to keep 'em from gettin' ya."

Sunder's head disappears into his chest, his wings fold around him, and now he is in Sweepcraft mode, his headcannon still visible.

Photon leaps fowards and shifts into a golden pyramid jet.

Thrust has arrived.

 Photon says, "I'm right behind you...damn lack of atmosphere."

DECEPTICON TURN

"A BOARDING TUBE?" Redshift, in his spacecraft mode, emits incredulously. "There's a REASON boarding tubes went out of style!" Redshift adds, streaking in close to the massive Autobot attack shuttle; Too close for traditional ship defenses to peg him with a plasma cannon. He skims along the Orion Pax's surface, streaking towards the fragile, transparant boarding tube. "Time to burn your bridges, Autobots!" Redshift swoops towards the tube, opening his bomb bays and firing a spray of cluster bombs at the boarding tube, which burst in a huge, bright flash of burning phosphorous.

Yes, they burn in space. Wanna fight about it?

 Ramjet says, "Redshift, you have command of orbital forces."

 Redshift says, "Finally, you give me an order worth FOLLOWING!"

 Ramjet says, "...."

 Ramjet says, "Hnnnn."

 Redshift says, "DECEPTICONS! Target thier pathetic boarding tube, /spill/ them into airless SPACE!"

Pyramid Jet < Photon > is following behind Redshift as fast as he can. The pyramid jet dives towards the boarding tube, all gun blazing, vaporizing some part of the tube, "yyyyyyyyyaaaaaaa take that Autobots!" Soon he is forced to jet aways to avoid the Orion Pax defense.

Spaceship < Fragment > whips about with manuevering thrusters and fires boosters to propel towards the invasive boarding tube. < < Nnnh. Cut the line, bleed Autobot red across the stars. > > That decided, the scorpion weaponry mount rises into position and incisive laser beam fires, slicing into the passage construct.

Giant Bat < Mindwipe > is climbing outside on the space station itself, because he is a bat, and while bats are not made for space combat, they're pretty good at climbing. When then the tube sindies into the side of the space station, he scrambles over to its outside and then tries to bash a wing into the tube to rattle the Autobots inside. He glares at them with glassy optics, but the Orion Pax's weaponry gives him pause.

Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Guarded.

Sweepcraft < Sunder > appears on the scene to assist his Decepticon Comrades. < < How dare the Autobots presume to claim this are for their own, >  > the Sweep shortranges to his fellows. The weaponry of the Autobot Spaceship makes him a bit nervous so he gives it a wide berth for now.

AUTOBOTZ

Combat: Photon sets his defense level to Guarded.

 Redshift says, "The boarding tube cannot survive such a concentrated

 Sunder says, "Indeed."

 Redshift says, "Sweep! Why haven't you attacked? I think I need to work on my inspiring "death to the Autobots" speeches."

 Torn A Sunder says, "I just arrived!"

Trailbreaker floats freely in the vacuum of space, what a view... except for the eyesores sporting the Decepticon insignias who just showed up. "Wow!" he exclaims, "That is a whole lot of ugly that just showed up."

 Excise says, "Sir. I have a very very important question."

<Alpha> Excise says, "Hypothetically."

Kup gets a worried look on his face as the boarding tube is assaulted with phosphorous bombs! "Oh, frag!" Kup says. Now, one might think that flaming phosphorous wouldn't hurt the tube very much, as the reinforced transparent material isn't flammable. This is not quite the case, though--the heat causes the tube to expand quickly, and cracks appear all across its length. "We're not gonna make it!" Kup yells, then energy blasts lance through the tube, dropping its structural integrity to nothing, and the whole thing simply explodes into shards! "AAAAHHHHH!" Kup yells, tumbling through space helplessly--for now!

<Alpha> Excise says, "If we see an Autobot."

<Alpha> Excise says, "Can we missile the hell out of him?"

<Alpha> Ramjet says, ".. YOU KILL IT, TROOPER. DO YOU GET ME!?"

<Alpha> Excise says, "Even though it might scratch the paint of our station?"

Lifting into the air, the wings extend, engines lock into place and the nose locks into place, revealing Scattershot's second form to be a heavy fighter.

Deadeye runs down the boarding tube as he looks up, "Incoming," he says as he looks and the boarding tube is destroyed and vents the rest into Space. As he enters space, he grabs hold of the side of the tube, and holds on as he pulls himself to the now damaged and further breaking tube and heads for the Con Space Station. He looks and thinks as he moves to get onto a solid surface and as he moves, he finds a target and thinks, raising his arm as his hand retracts and a cannon appears as he takes aim and fires on Mindwipe.

Combat: Deadeye strikes Giant Bat < Mindwipe > with its Laser attack!

Raptor gets ready to board, anti-gravs ready and all to blast out, however that is when the decepticons blow the one thing holding some semblence of 'pressure', and then when its gone, we all know what happens then...

The autobot seeker is blasted out into space, however during being in zero-g, his systems kick on a mode he didn't realize he had. Which was a system that allowed him to have some control in space due to his anti-gravs and thruster configuration. The same way he got here from Cybertron to Earth.

Raptor's visor flickers for a moment green and then starts to aim for a target. Once target is gained he decides to take on the one thing that looks like a seeker.. the Pyramid jet.

Raptor aims out his arm, the pannel opens, a missile comes out, and fires for its target.

Combat: Raptor strikes Pyramid Jet < Photon > with his Can Missiles even work in space? attack!

Battlecruiser < Scattershot > didn't relaly want to go into the station anyways. However, once the tube blows, he transforms on the spot. < < Grab on! > > He says as he starts to fly for Kup, intent on giving Kup some ground to stand on.

Combat: Scattershot sets his defense level to Protected.

DECEPTICONZ

Pyramid Jet < Photon > didn't even notice that sorry excuse for a seeker which is unfortunate because the missile blast his rear end sending him spinning towards the station and forcing him to transform to regain control. "Ok... remember it is all your fault autobot." Raising his arms, the real seeker fires his laser cannons towards Raptor.

The Pyramid jet unfold into Photon's robot mode.

Combat: Photon strikes Raptor with his Laser Cannon attack!

Giant Bat < Mindwipe > decdes that perhaps caution is the better part of valor, and he starts to climbs back to the station itself when an unknown Autobot sharpshooter nails him on the back. He transforms, flailing out his hands to grab into an antenna, which he clings to for dear life. Mindwipe brings his legs up and wraps them around it before releasing one hand to grab his viper pistol and return fire.

Combat: Mindwipe sets his defense level to Protected.

Red Spaceship < Redshift > emits a brief series of gleeful cackles over the local radio, and the sleek fighter swerves around, to survey his handiwork. < < AHAHAHA! Now you fools see the /folly/ of using a /boarding tube/ FEH! You should've just cracked the station open with an asteroid. > > The red and blakc ship dives towards the Autobots left straggling between the ship and the station, namely Kup, Trailbreaker, and Scattershot. His signature blinding phospohrous bombs worked well on the tube, let's see how well they do on /Autobots!/ He fires off a broad cluster of small bombs, which, whether they hit thier mark or not, burst into bright flashes of burning metals.

Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Fearless.

Combat: Giant Bat < Mindwipe > strikes Deadeye with his Viper Pistol - Low Level Energy (Disruptor) attack!

Combat: Red Spaceship < Redshift > misses Kup with his Phosphorous Bombs Area attack!

Combat: Red Spaceship < Redshift > 's Phosphorous Bombs attack on Trailbreaker goes wild!

Combat: Red Spaceship < Redshift > misses himself with his Phosphorous Bombs Area attack!

Combat: Red Spaceship < Redshift > 's Phosphorous Bombs attack on Battlecruiser < Scattershot > goes wild!

Combat: Red Spaceship < Redshift > misses himself with his Phosphorous Bombs Area attack!

<Alpha> Ramjet says, "Redshift! Report."

<Alpha> Redshift says, "The FOOLISH Autobots have been spilled into space by my decisive attack!"

<Alpha> Redshift says, "The boarding tube is /destroyed/"

< Decepticon > Mindwipe says, "I do not know if you are lucky or CURSED, Redshift."

Raptor goes to dodge, however gets reminded when he does get hit, that control-- left. So yea, the systems are there, but there is no function. Oh the joys of losing stuff when you were stuck in an improper stasis for far to long.

He flings head over heals and then slams his back against the shape. He shakes his head and then takes aim with his assault rifle at the seeker, "Note to self, Raptor-- have someone fix that system or delete it." Then opens fire. At least now being against the ship maybe he can use it to move side to side on, if he can keep a good 'hold' onto it.

Terran Shuttle < Intrepid > arrives from the Landing Fields < EDC >.

Terran Shuttle < Intrepid > has arrived.

<Alpha> Excise says, "So they are trapped!"

<Alpha> Ramjet says, "Well done! They are no match for our unified AIR and SPACE superiority! Rally your wing and destroy the Autobots!"

<Alpha> Excise says, "Excellent. I do believe there is absolutely no examples in history that Rodimus Prime has managed to escape from a giant orbiting structure into space."

Sweepcraft < Sunder > is one of the big lot of 'ugly' that Trailbreaker sees coming towards him! Powering up his disruptor, he streaks towards the aged Autobot, about to let loose with firepower. < < Ahh, an old-Timer, >  > he says on the shortrange radio, <  < Let me put you out of your misery. Isn't it long since past time you went to that big scrapheap in the Sky? > >

Combat: Sweepcraft < Sunder > strikes Trailbreaker with his pew pew pew (Disruptor) attack!

<Alpha> Redshift neglects to report he just missed himself with two wild attacks at the same time.

<Alpha> Ramjet is unaware of it since Redshift neglected to report it!

< Decepticon > Astrotrain says, "...hey! They got a Quint with em."

Spaceship < Fragment > loops around the wreck that was the boarding tube, his deflector subtly pushing the remnant debris away from him like hairs rising from static electricity fields. < < Amputation done. Now to clean up. > > His weapon array switches to a lower setting and picking the first autobot he sees, opens up on Scattershot, the poor oddity.

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "...What!?"

''' #-1 FUNCTION (ANSI ) NOT FOUND... OR WAS IT? ALSO, AUTOBOTS'''

Combat: Spaceship < Fragment > misses Battlecruiser < Scattershot > with his Disruptor Beam (Disruptor) attack!

< Decepticon > Monitor says, "... now I would like to get my hand on this one."

Raptor goes to dodge, however gets reminded when he does get hit, that control-- left. So yea, the systems are there, but there is no function. Oh the joys of losing stuff when you were stuck in an improper stasis for far to long.

He flings head over heals and then slams his back against the shape. He shakes his head and then takes aim with his assault rifle at the seeker, "Note to self, Raptor-- have someone fix that system or delete it." Then opens fire. At least now being against the ship maybe he can use it to move side to side on, if he can keep a good 'hold' onto it.(repose to correct error of posing in to early)

Combat: Raptor misses Photon with his Assault Rifle (Laser) attack!

Kup grabs onto Scattershot's wing as flies past, grunting as his velocity suddenly and sharply increases as he hangs along for the ride. "Thanks, Scattershot! Woah--" Suddenly, phosphorous bombs begin to pop and flare brilliantly all around him, like a deadly fireworks display! "--slaggin' git!" He reaches for his acid musket with his free arm, aiming it over Scattershot's wing. "I'm gonna make sure that guy thinks twice before he pulls that slag again!" He squeezes the trigger, returning fire at Redshift with a brilliant blue beam!

Combat: Kup strikes Red Spaceship < Redshift > with his Laser attack!

Combat: You took 7 damage.

Terran Shuttle < Intrepid > descends from space to the Landing Fields < EDC >.

Terran Shuttle < Intrepid > has left.

Giant Bats, Disrupters and Cluster Bombs, Oh My! Trailbreaker tried to use his momentum to get to Scattershot only to knocked aside by Redshift's insane barrage, then he turns only to be struck in the leg by Sunder's Disrupter. "Ow!" he exclaims as he rubs the scorched armor on his leg, "You Sweeps arent just Ugly, you're rude too."

His right hand retracts and his missile launcher extracts. "That's MISTER Old Timer to you." Trailbreaker shouts as a missle fires in the Sweep's direction.

Combat: Trailbreaker misses Sweepcraft < Sunder > with its Double Missile attack!

Battlecruiser < Scattershot > turns his form towards the Orion Pax. < < Don't mention it, Kup. Let's just blow these cons outta space! > > He says as he suddenly banks to dodge first Redshift's bombs, then Fragment's lasers. < < they must've forgotten that I have turrets on all forms >  > as his top and bottom turret lasers spin and fire.

Deadeye looks as he is hit and grunts as he raises his left arm, which seems longer, and he moves to a defensive spot and sets himself up to be protected as he takes aim.

Combat: Deadeye sets its defense level to Protected.

Combat: Deadeye takes extra time to aim its next attack on Giant Bat < Mindwipe >.

Photon uses his superior maneuvrability to avoid the incoming attack and to taunt his opponent, "Is that the best you can do autobot? It's nothing to brag about. You should bow to my superiority instead!" Using his anti-grav system, the seeker executes a serie of quick maneuvers to bring him closer to Raptor before firing a quick burst from his arm-mounted cannon.

Combat: Battlecruiser < Scattershot > strikes Red Spaceship < Redshift > with his Turret-Mounted Artillery Area attack! [Pulled -2]

Combat: You took 9 damage.

Combat: Battlecruiser < Scattershot > misses Spaceship < Fragment > with his Turret-Mounted Artillery Area attack! [Pulled -2]

Photon uses his superior maneuvrability to avoid the incoming attack and to taunt his opponent, "Is that the best you can do autobot? It's nothing to brag about. You should bow to my superiority instead!" Using his anti-grav system, the seeker executes a serie of quick maneuvers to bring him closer to Raptor before firing a quick burst from his arm-mounted cannon. Not waiting to see the results he flies avoid to get more breathing room...yeah breathing room is space.

Combat: Photon strikes Raptor with his Laser Cannon attack! [Pulled -1]

YES, IT'S DECEPTICON TURN

Redshift's diving swoop jerks up short as his own bombs begins to explode all around him, but with his /expert/ space fighting skills he manages /not/ to destroy himself with his own weaponry. Skill! His left wing is blasted by Kup's well-aimed laser, searing a hole through the thin metal. Redshift moves in to strike again, only to encounter resistance from Scattershot as well! Another barrage of lasers blast a smoldering hole in Redshift's /right/ wing. Redshift responds in kind, firing off streaks of red lasers at Kup, as ye ol' timey Autobot clings to SCattershot's hull.

Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Guarded.

Combat: Red Spaceship < Redshift > strikes Kup with his pewpewpew! (Laser) attack!

< Decepticon > Compile says, "Wait, a Quint? Lets get it and find out abouts its secret."

< < You expected politeness from your enemies?? > > the Sweep says incredulously, <  < This is a war, not an energon tea and crumpets social! But if you brought cheese, I brought the holes! > > The Sweepcraft's gun turrets pop out and start peppering the area around Kup with shots.

Sweepcraft < Sunder > expertly maneuvers out of the way of the missiles.

< Decepticon > Dr. Excise says, "I'm right with you, Compile... assuming that secret is along the lines of 'how many tentacles must I pull off before it cries'"

Combat: Sweepcraft < Sunder > misses Trailbreaker with his Ballistic Rounds to turn you into Swiss Cheese (Pistol) attack!

Spaceship < Fragment > didn't forget. He just didn't know. Not that it matters to him philisophically. Scattershot is treated as a deadly invader target. So when turret A or turret B or whichever one comes round on him, the space-dart sets to flips his back end in a top-over flip while firing side thrusters to angle off from his flight path in a second arching direction. < < Many quills. Many eyes. > > A geological sample pod rises under the scorpion array locking in, and it starts firing asteroid gravel at the Technobot.

Giant Bat < Mindwipe > watches the sharpshooter go off to hide away, and he thumbs his viper pistol absently, switching to ballistic ammunition. He takes another shot at the Autobot, trying to get a gauge on him. The other, more space-capable Decepticons might be having better luck than him, or they might be Redshift.

Combat: Spaceship < Fragment > misses Battlecruiser < Scattershot > with his Gravel Gun (Pistol) attack!

Combat: Giant Bat < Mindwipe > strikes Deadeye with his Viper Pistol - Solid Ammunition (Pistol) attack!

< Decepticon > Compile says, "And the answer is... three. They are weak willed."

< Decepticon > Big-Brother-Sweep Sunder says, "I thought that was how many /faces/..."

Deadeye is hit in the head, the one on his shoulders by the ballistic ammo and yet he still sits and waits. Once he has a solid lock, he fires off a shot at Mindwipe.

Combat: Deadeye misses Giant Bat < Mindwipe > with its Sabot Sniper Rifle attack!

IT IS PROBABLY THE AUTOBOTS' TURN

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. There is also some miracle in the way Trailbreaker's slow mecha-ass managed to dodge Sunder's Ballistic Assault. "Wow..." he says in a chuckle, "You must have trouble stationary targets... Ha Ha Ha! If you can't hit me I have to wonder how you'll do against STATIONARY objects." Despite his laugh, he manages to pull his laser out of subspace and squeeze off a few shots as Sunder while exclaiming, "Here, stick this in your beard!"

Combat: Trailbreaker misses Sweepcraft < Sunder > with his Laser attack!

Raptor takes the impacts and his the shots impact his armor with really no were to move, or anyhow to monover. "You talk big in space," Raptor marks back to the con, "But in the atmosphere, I would have your number!" Then taking a chance of risk, Raptor kicks off, even if it is sorta painful and tries to aim himself to snatch onto the decepticon!

Maybe Raptor can catch himself a free-ride?

Combat: Raptor misses Photon with his Invading personal space! (Grab) attack!

Battlecruiser < Scattershot > gets MUCh closer to the Orion pax and skims along it's surface until... < < HANG ON Kup! > > and his retros immediately ignite to stop him in place. His wings suddenly open up to reveal his sonic missile launchers....to fire at both Redshift and Fragment, yet again.

Combat: Battlecruiser < Scattershot > misses Red Spaceship < Redshift > with his Wing-Mounted Sonic Shell Area attack! [Pulled -3]

Combat: Battlecruiser < Scattershot > misses Spaceship < Fragment > with his Wing-Mounted Sonic Shell Area attack! [Pulled -3]

Bumblebee has arrived.

Kup is shot in the hand, the very same hand he's using to hang onto Scattershot! "Aaaaagh!" he yells out as the pain and damage causes him to lose his grip. He drifts away from the Technobot, his course taking him towards the Orion Pax. He scowls as he examines his hand--there's a big, blackened hole in it, now! "Fraggin' frag FRAG!" he yells. "Stinkin' Decepticon! Come over here and fight! Stop flyin' around like a damn fairy! COME ON!"

He aims up at Redshift again, switching his musket to its "acid" setting, and is about to fire when he overhears Sunder's horrible, horrible lines, and shoots at him instead. "SHUT UP!" he screams at the Sweep. "That wasn't funny!!!"

Combat: Kup misses Sweepcraft < Sunder > with his Acid Musket Laser attack! [Pulled -3]

SEPTIC CONS

Photon blocks Raptor's wrist, "Do I look like a Sweep? Hell know I'm way too sexy. I prefer to fly within atmosphere too... but you suck only because you're not at your place in the sky while I AM!" The seeker wrestles Raptor for a few second but that's not his favorite style of comabt so he release one arm and points his own arm at Raptor's face before firing a feeble blast. Then he chuckles and pushes the autobot away.

Combat: Photon misses Raptor with his Disruptor attack!

Red Spaceship < Redshift > executes a quick barrel-roll, leaving Scattershot's scattered shots to scatter and... Shoot. While SCattershot can fly in space, his large size seems to make him move like a whale, and not a sleek shark like Redshift. As Scattershot flies closer to the Orion Pax, Redshift dives in on the Technobot's tail, and makes a collision course for Scattershot's rear thruster assembly.

Combat: Red Spaceship < Redshift > misses Battlecruiser < Scattershot > with his Wing Slice attack! [Pulled -2]

Oh my! The Sweep is being bombarded from two sides! Luckily a barrel-roll saves him from taking any damage. < < My, my, what a dilemma. Two 'mister old timers' to put out of their misery. But I think I will finish this one off first! > > He brings his plasma cannons to bear on Trailbreaker. < < Barbecued Autobot, anyone? > > he shortranges to his comrades before he fires.

Combat: Sweepcraft < Sunder > misses Trailbreaker with his Dual Plasma Cannons attack! [Pulled -2]

Giant Bat < Mindwipe > twirls around the antenna, kicking off the side of the space station, letting the return fire go astray. He then pushes off toward another antenna, hangs off it, and takes aim at his assailant again, changing his rounds again. Mindwipe watches the more agile space combatants wistfully and ponders what he'll do if this whole thing goes down - thumb a ride?

The giant bat turns into the Decepticon Mindwipe. Who would have thought that a giant robot bat was really a Transformer?

Combat: Mindwipe strikes Deadeye with his Viper Pistol - Higher Level Energy (Laser) attack!

Spaceship < Fragment > accellerates back towards Scattershot as the sonic missile coming at him draws in deadly proximity. He veers around it as he frags up the targetted range the Technobot had him in. < < Among stars, Redshift, we are the archangels. > > He skip-soars off the hull of the station, coming dangerously cose to contact but not touching. Pulling up, he heads back towards the Orion Pax and Scattershot. He attempts to throw Scattershot off course as he activates his tractorbeam, looking to catch the Battlecruiser in it's field for a dragging pass.

Combat: Spaceship < Fragment > misses Battlecruiser < Scattershot > with his Tractor Beam (Grab) attack!

Sixshot launches from the space station's huge hangar doors.

Sixshot has arrived.

'''BOTS... OH CRAP IT'S SIXSHOT'''

Raptor breaks himself free and takes a shot with his missile at the decepticon named Photon, "So, space is your place-- that is nice. I'll make note when I meet you in the wild blue yonder, to make sure you eat dirt by the end of it." Raptor grunts out as the missile flies at the con.

However Raptor did not a problem, he was moving sideways now and not in any relationship to any objects to stop his movement. Alas-- looks like when this battle is done, someone will need to play fetch the auto-seeker.

Combat: Raptor strikes Photon with his You missed and now my turn I hate space.. ! attack!

Miracles continue to happen for Trailbreaker manages to evade Sunder's attack. With the sweep heading right towards him, the Autobot Defensive Strategist decides to take a risk, and try to land a Shawn Michaels like superkick into the sweepcraft as it flies by at the speed of sound... but there is no sound in space. And he's managed to already make a fool out of himself without using over-rated pro wrestling moves.

Combat: Trailbreaker strikes Sweepcraft < Sunder > with his Kick attack!

Deadeye looks as he is hit and he thinks as he makes some adjustments and than stands up, aiming with his left arm, as the weapon fully comes to life and he takes aim again, standing in the open as he does.

Combat: Deadeye sets its defense level to Fearless.

Combat: Deadeye takes extra time to aim its next attack on Deadeye.

Kup drifts close to the hull of the Orion Pax, and snakes his hand out to grab ahold of it. He manages to fit his hand into a seam between armor plates, and halts his momentum, but it comes at the price of aggravating the injury in his hand! "ARRRGH!" Kup snarls out, teeth clenched. "Now I'm ticked!" he grunts, placing a boot on the outer hull of the Pax, and, after magnetizing his feet, he releases his hand-hold and stands up. "Let's see if that damn gnat is still buzzin' around!" Kup snarls, squinting into space. He barely makes out Redshift's distinctive form, and brings his rifle up for another shot. "There you are! Put a hole in my hand, will you? I'll put one in your damn face!"

Combat: Kup misses Red Spaceship < Redshift > with his Cranky Lasers (Disruptor) attack!

Combat: Deadeye takes extra time to aim its next attack on Mindwipe.

Battlecruiser < Scattershot > is fortunate that Kup has landed upon the pax. Now that Redshift has overshot him, he goes after Fragment, to let Kup have Redshift all to himself. He doesn't say anything, however, he does start firing thermal shells at Fragment.....

Combat: Battlecruiser < Scattershot > misses Spaceship < Fragment > with his Side-Mounted Thermal Shell attack! [Pulled -3]

CEPTER CONS

<Alpha> Ramjet says, "Status!"

Photon wasn't expecting to miss the autobot while firing at point blank. Once gain, the missile sends him flying back, shatteting part of his chest plate as oil and metal shards fly around. He flies towards the station, totally out of control until he transforms back into his jet mode, "Now you really pissed me off" he shouts as the tips of his wing cannons start to glow. A moment later he unleashes the deadly heat ray towards the autobot seeker.

Combat: Photon sets his defense level to Fearless.

Photon leaps fowards and shifts into a golden pyramid jet.

Combat: Pyramid Jet < Photon > misses Raptor with his Heat Guns attack!

<Alpha> Excise says, "Kickin' some ass, Aerospace Commander. Which would you rather see skewered? A fleshling or a Quintesson?"

<Alpha> Redshift says, "Engaging Autobots with extreme predjudice!"

<Alpha> Excise says, "I'm leaning towards the Quintesson cause I'm hoping to get some emotional damage on the fleshling. But fleshlings squeal in such a delightful way when you stab them. I just can't decide!"

<Alpha> Ramjet says, "Disable the human. The Quintesson seems feeble so far! Once we have annihilated its friends, we will instill new terror into its slimy core."

<Alpha> Fragment says, "Unscathed and undaunted."

<Alpha> Redshift says, "Sweep, tie me into your tracker/killer sensors so I can /terminate/ Kup!"

<Alpha> Torn A Sunder says, "Acknowledged!"

<Alpha> Excise says, "Sir, requesting permission to treat your order of 'disable' to mean 'massacre'."

<Alpha> Ramjet says, "Request.."

<Alpha> Ramjet says, "/Accepted/."

Sweepcraft < Sunder > is hit in the nose of his hull by Trailbreaker! Then an order comes over the channel. He abruptly veers away from Trailbreaker, moving towards Redshift. He transforms, so that he may find weaknesses on Kup that the little red spacecraft can capitalize on.

Sunder shifts into his fearsome-looking robot mode.

Combat: Sunder analyzes Kup for weaknesses Redshift can exploit.

Spaceship < Fragment > feels a rippling as he spins around the first thermal shell evasively and continues to out-coil the path of the ones following. A bank left, then a deek and another banking returning to a firing run position against Scattershot. < < And now with full attention... >  > His laser activates. A burning hot scorpion sting lancing out.

Combat: Spaceship < Fragment > misses Battlecruiser < Scattershot > with his Laser Beam (Laser) attack!

Red Spaceship < Redshift > pulls up after his uneventful dive at Scattershot, and in his death-defying rapid accelleration, peels away from the cranky old timer's attack. After some quick order-making on the radio, he prepares himself to receive special telemetry from the Sweep designated 'Sunder', and he transforms into his equally-space-capable robot mode. New sensor data overlays his field of view, narrowing in on Kup's ye olde' hip plating, and he lines up a shot with his high-output plasma rifle. "Ok old man, this is what you get for coming after our spacestation that we rightfully /conquered/!" He shouts, and fires off a searing blast of white-hot charged ions.

The sleek red spacecraft transforms into the winged warrior Redshift.

Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Fearless.

Combat: Redshift strikes Kup with his Sundered by IONS attack!

Combat: Removing analysis data for Kup.

Mindwipe plays with the settings on his viper pistol a bit more, given that he has a slight respite from his Autobot assailant. He scoots out a bit on the antennae he is clasping, and he looses the trigger. Normally, he would say something cheesy, like, 'Freeze, Autobot,' but no one can hear him in space, so he doesn't.

Combat: Mindwipe misses Deadeye with his Viper Pistol attack!

Late to the fight or /right/ on time?! Who was to say, the sixchanger has been rather temperamental for whatever reason or the other...No one really bothered to try asking Sixshot just where he'd been or why. Asking such questions could turn out to be a rather painful intercourse to experiment with, unless one had the rank to go with it. His appearances offered only futher support for this clean up of Autobot scrap cluttering space, and he wasted no time as he blitzed into the area. "Why's this fight still going on? I don't mind a little work but this can't hardly be a challenge!"

The starfighter wasted no time picking out a target out of the scant Autobots struggling to better ground, Kup was the winner in this lottery as peels of concussion fire tore after him right on the heels of Redshift. He didn't really care if he was being the thirdwheel in this violent date here.

AUTOBOTS AGAIN

Combat: Sixshot misses Kup with his Hypersonic Concussion Blaster attack! [Pulled -5]

Deadeye stands there as he gets a solid lock and does nto say anythign as he has a solid lock, as a the shot from Mindwipe hits and he stands there as the sun reflects off the sight and he pulls the trigger on the rifle, as he aims for Mindwipe's chest.

Combat: Deadeye misses Mindwipe with its Sabot Sniper Rifle attack!

Trailbreaker knows an Ace in the hole when he sees one, "Three on one, eh. We can play that too." That being said an odd green light eminates from behind him as he points in Kup's direction. "Let's see how they like it when the odds are even."

Combat: Trailbreaker creates a forcefield shielding Kup from damage.

Your courage-modified endurance limit is 21. You can take 41 more points of damage before you are scared for your life!

Battlecruiser < Scattershot > continues to evade Fragment's attacks as his turrets spin around. but when Trailbreaker's forcefield goes up around Kup, Scattershot suddenly banks and rockets towards Sunder. when in range, he transforms and tries to tackle the sweep!

Flipping his legs out, the wing guns sweep back and the body unfurls itself to reveal the Technobot Commander, Scattershot!

Combat: Scattershot misses Sunder with his Smackdown attack!

Kup lets out a horrible scream as Redshift deftly targets and blasts away at his hip! Metal instantly evaporates from the plasma blast and sprays out into the void, only to quickly crystallize in the coldness of space into shiny particles. "ARRRRGH, you sonuva glitch!" Kup yells as he hobbles along the hull of the Pax, Sixshot's concussion blasters stitching along the Pax's plating just behind him. "That hip was injured a hundred thousand years ago! You have any idea how much that hurt!?"

Kup whips his laser up at Redshift again. "You know, that was a rhetorical question, I'm just gonna show you!" He then switches his rifle to fire a maximum power laser bolt, and fires it at the red space warrior! And after firing, Kup finds himself encapsulated in a clear energy field! "Wha--ah, I see, thanks a lot, Trailbreaker! They were pounding me pretty good for a moment there!"

Combat: Kup misses Redshift with his Just the Laser Hold the Acid attack!

DECEPTICONS, NOW

Mindwipe shoves off the antennae he is holding and goes down to a length of piping along the outside of the space-station, under the sharpshooter's shot. The mystic is getting bored, honestly. This ic why he transform, hooking a wing-claw around the pipe, and he stares right at the sharpshooter, seeking out his optics.

Mindwipe turns into a bat. Is anyone shocked?

Combat: Mindwipe sets his defense level to Neutral.

Combat: Giant Bat < Mindwipe > strikes Deadeye with his Sub-Optic Radiation attack!

Pyramid Jet < Photon > would smile if jet could smile as his attack apparently blasted his opponent away. He quickly scans the battlefield to pick his next target and choose to go after the onle space-capable autobot her. He executes a sharp turn and starts to follow Scattershot around. As soon as he can get a target lock, he fires his nosecose lasers at the technobot commander.

Combat: Photon sets his defense level to Neutral.

Combat: Pyramid Jet < Photon > misses Scattershot with his Laser attack!

Spaceship < Fragment > takes his advantage when Scattershot turns his back on him. < < So open. > > His scorpion weapon arms his Phase Cannon and the Decepticon targets the now transformed Technobot with his layer piercing asteroid breaking 'tool'. < < Unwise. > > He slows to divert power and then the exotic beam fires.

The Sweep manages to leap out of the way of Scattershot's attempted glomp. No Techo-hugs for the Sunder! He turns his attention back to Trailbreaker, the one who's shielding Kup with the forcefield. < < How about I pound on you until that forcefield shuts off? > > he snarls, brandishing his claws and launching himself at the semi-geriatric Autobot.

Combat: Sunder misses Trailbreaker with his talon swipe (Punch) attack!

Combat: Spaceship < Fragment > misses Scattershot with his Phase Cannon attack! [Pulled -2]

Redshift is known /across the galaxy/, or at least as far as the space Olympics, for his impressive dodging abilities. And good luck. His optics burn with enthusiasm as he not only pegs Kup with his sniper-style critical strike, but also narrowly escapes the return-fire from Kup's famously outdated laser acid musket. "HA! You old fool! Even with your millinos of years of experiece, you don't have what it takes to take down ME, in my natural element! A shame the others of my model aren't here to help me, but I can handle you well enough on my own, Old Man." Redshift's eyes peer into the shimmering bubble of forcefield protecting Kup, and then he turns sharply at it's source... Trailbreaker! "You! Stop interfering in my moment of GLORY!" He snaps, and fires a blast at Trailbreaker from his plasma rifle, still hot from it's full-power blast at Kup.

Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Guarded.

Combat: Redshift misses Trailbreaker with his Incinerator Rifle - Poach Setting attack! [Pulled -5]

<Alpha> Ramjet says, "The humans are pulling back! Astrotrain, suppressive fire with me! /NOW/!

<Alpha> Redshift, belatedly, "I have destroyed Kup's HIP! Victory is assured!"

<Alpha> Ramjet says, ".. is what?"

<Alpha> Torn A Sunder says, "I hear Autobots his age with broken hips do not live long afterwards."

<Alpha> Redshift says, "His cranky old man hip. I blew it up."

< Decepticon > Astrotrain says, "I didn't think it was possible to hate squishies anymore than I do."

< Decepticon > Astrotrain says, "But now I know there's no limit to it!"

< Decepticon > Astrotrain RAGE!

Kup snarks back at Redshift, "I thought it was just you and your retarded brother! What, do you come in all colors of the rainbow? Do you get dumber as you go up the spectrum or something? I can just imagine how dumb Purpleshift would be. Maybe he'd think his own gun was a Kaleidoscope, and stare down the barrel, then he'd be like, "I can't see anything! Oh, wait, I gotta turn it on!" Then he pulls the trigger. Yeah, I could totally see that happening." As Kup rambles about the Shift lineage, he lines up Sunder for a shot and once again tries to give him an involuntary acid bath! "Yeah, and I haven't forgotten you and your freakshow of a "family," either, Sweep!"

Deadeye gets blinded by the shot of Mindwipe and he shakes his head as he transforms as he turns into his vehicle mode, a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 KR. AS he sits there, he works to get his systems back online and the blue ground effect lighting increases as a small wave of blue energy fly out in all directions.

The robot begins to change and tarts to transform into a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR that is black with smoke grey racing stripes that has been modified, with bigger rear wheels, spokeless wheels, big rear wing, dual side exhusts, deep chin spoiler and mesh grille with blue ground effect lighting.

Combat: Kup strikes Sunder with his Acid Musket Laser attack! [Pulled -2]

Trailbreaker realizes he needs to buy his time so his fearless leader can get the job done inside, maybe he can draw the uglier than usual 'Cons attention.

"Hey Sunder!" Trailbreaker shouts, "Werent you made from what was left of Kickback? What a shame. You used to be so much smarter and good looking. Now your only future is as Galvatron's next foot stool, or maybe toilet paper you aft-kisser!"

Combat: Trailbreaker takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass]

Combat: That attack has temporarily affected Raptor's Accuracy. (Blinded)

Scattershot smiles as Trailbreaker seems to have Sunder well in hand. but since he's being attacked from two directions again, he transforms into his battlestation mode and aims at the two seekers coming after him.

The nosecone opens up and reveals it's megavolt cannon, while the engines fold down and the wings fold back, revealing Scattershot's third form to be his Battlestation Mode.

Combat: Scattershot sets his defense level to Aggressive.

< Decepticon > Astrotrain says, "Wait, I just thought of something."

Combat: Battlestation < Scattershot > takes extra time to aim his next attack on Spaceship < Fragment >.

< Decepticon > Astrotrain asks, "Has anybody been watching that Quintess..." *KRAKA-BOOOM*

WOW, THAT DIDN'T TURN OUT SO WELL. DECEPTICONS!

ER, DECEPTICONS!

Pyramid Jet < Photon > blinks as one of the Autobot wreck havok among his teamates, he transforms back into his robot mode and asks around, "Did this guy defect to us and I didn't get the memo?" With all those explosion he missed Scattershot's transformation, "uhoh... Take him down before he blasts us to hell!" he shouts while firing his arm mounted cannons.

Combat: Photon sets his defense level to Guarded.

The Pyramid jet unfold into Photon's robot mode.

Combat: Photon strikes Battlestation < Scattershot > with his Laser Cannon attack!

< Decepticon > Mindwipe says, "Seeker - your name?"

< Decepticon > Monitor says, "Explosion detect aboard space station. What's happening up there?"

< Decepticon > Astrotrain coughs.

< Decepticon > Astrotrain says, "I'm gonna....tear those tentacles off....and I'm gonna....HANG HIM BY THEM!"

< Decepticon > Compile says, "He might enjoy that too much A-Train."

< Decepticon > Photon says, "who? me?"

< Decepticon > Astrotrain says, "I PROMISE I'LL ENJOY IT MORE!"

< Decepticon > Mindwipe says, "Yes, you!"

For an old 'bot Kup somehow managed to move more spryly than the younger ones. If he was disappointed at missing the aged Autobot, there was little to show for it. The starfighter looped around in a large arc, perhaps the only thing that saved him from having to deal with the nasty wave of energy put out by Deadeye. It was on the other hand great timing such that when he came realigned himself Kup was just waiting with his attentions on Redshift. Sixshot shifted swiftly, a gaping mouth of serrated teeth coming into play as the sixchanger threw himself in a body tackle at Kup, claws first.

Falling foward onto all fours, Sixshot stands poised as a winged wolf, claws and teeth at the ready.

< Decepticon > Photon says, "...Photon, why?"

Spaceship < Fragment > emits a grunt of displeasure. It could have been very satisfying to pierce that Autobot's fuelpump to bleed it out from the inside. His primary stage phasebeam casts off into space without contact and he fires thrusters. His array pivots tracking Scattershot's position as Fragment flies to gain distance once more. Asteroid gravel fragments are shot ut, trailing dust behind each rock like mini-comets.

Combat: Sixshot strikes Kup with his Wolf Crush attack! [Pulled -6]

Combat: Trailbreaker's forcefield absorbs Sixshot's attack.

Combat: Spaceship < Fragment > misses Battlestation < Scattershot > with his Gravel Gun (Pistol) attack!

< Decepticon > Compile says, "if you cn A-Train. Can you get me one of his faces?"

< Decepticon > Mindwipe says, "I am Mindwipe. You could call me a hypnotist. That Autobot's misfortunate was /my/ work."

< Decepticon > Redshift says, "Good work."

< Decepticon > Astrotrain is still mumbling, "...then I'm gonna tear off those faces, one by one. And I'm gonna mount them all around his body, so he can watch from several different angles as I KICK THE CRAP OUT OF HIM!"

< Decepticon > Photon says, "Hum yeah sure...good work."

Giant Bat < Mindwipe > looks entirely too pleased, like the bat that swallowed the canary. (Unlikely predation!) Oh yes, he loves it when he convinces Autobots to shoot their allies! He pauses to transform back to his robot mode and take a potshot at the hapless Autobot.

The giant bat turns into the Decepticon Mindwipe. Who would have thought that a giant robot bat was really a Transformer?

Combat: Mindwipe misses 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR < Deadeye > with his Viper Pistol - Solid Ammunition (Pistol) attack!

Redshift snaps his fingers as he misses the slow-footed Trailbreaker. Must've used up all his awesome breaking Kup's hip! His atention is drawn as the... Ford Mustang in space fires off a huge EM Pulse, but Redshift manages to avoid it's worst effects. "Trailbreaker! How DARE you ignore my fantastic-ness! And Kup... There's no such thing as a /purpleshift/, geez! How come everybody makes that joke?" Redshift glares at Trailbreaker, who is still protecting the old man with a forcefield. Redshift stows his rifle away on his wing, and aims.. his hands at Trailbreaker and Kup. From his palms, gouts of stringy, puny flames jet out at both Trailbreaker and the protective forcefield.

Combat: Redshift misses Kup with his Flamethrowers kinda suck in space Area attack! [Pulled -3]

Combat: Redshift strikes Trailbreaker with his Flamethrowers kinda suck in space Area attack! [Pulled -3]

Sunder yelps as the acid sploshes on his shoulder! Of course, in space nobody can hear you scream. Except on the shortrange. Kup's apparently being taken care of, so now Scattershot is suddenly a tempting target right now. So, the Sweep hefts his disruptor rifle and starts taking some pot shots, as a belated retaliation for the attempted glomp earlier.

Combat: Sunder strikes Battlestation < Scattershot > with his Disruptor attack!

AUTOBOOOOOOTTTTSSSS

2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR < Deadeye > hmms as he looks at things, and runs system checks as he bypasses systems and the like until he gets his targeting array back and if he could smile, he would. But he moves forward and his headlights fold down, as two black mawls open and as he dirves, diodging the attack, he gets a lock and fires a hellfire missile at Mindwipe, "I do not approve of what you did," he says simply.

Combat: 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR < Deadeye > strikes Mindwipe with its Hellfire Missiles attack!

Battlestation < Scattershot > takes a beating, but this is the technobot commander. He keeps his lock on Fragment as he's peppered with fire....until finally the end of his cannon glows........and fires.

Trailbreaker swings at dead air as he was blinded by friendly fire, "It's not so bad..." he mutters to himself, "Now I can only smell them." All of a sudden he's hit by some UN-friendly fire... literally, as Redshift's flamethrower scalds the Autobot's shoulder. "Ow! That was... That was... Ow! Talk about a hot tamale."

Still gotta buy some time, this is a little harder to do running around blind, "Hey Redshift! were you the one who tried to Broil me? Why don't you try it again, if you have the manifold to try.

Combat: Trailbreaker takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass]

Combat: Battlestation < Scattershot > strikes Spaceship < Fragment > with his Megavolt Pulse Cannon attack! [Pulled -5]

Kup throws up his arms, bracing himself for Sixshot's animalistic charge, and then... nothing. Kup lowers his arms, looking up. "Oh, right. Forcefield. Fortunately, though? I can attack stuff *outside* the shield just fine!" And as if to demonstrate his point, Kup throws a hard right hook just past the shield's barrier, trying to catch the wolf on the jaw. "There we go. And about Purpleshift--hey, it's your fraggin' naming gimmick! You deal with it!" Flames arc across the surface of the field, then. "Nice lightshow, though!"

Combat: Kup sets his defense level to Aggressive.

Combat: Kup strikes Sixshot with his Whuppin' attack! [Pulled -1]

"Decepti--what, you mean they're deceptive?"

(CON TURN, IN OTHER WORDS)

< Decepticon > Wiretap says, "Auxiliary frequency activated/ Rerouter traffic approriatly."

Photon arrogantly smiles as his attack hits its mark but it soon disappears when the seeker notice what little effect it had on the technobot, "Blast you and you're heavy armor." Photon chooses to put some distance between the battlestation and himself. He uses that opportunity to reroute some energon towards his weapon system.

Combat: Photon takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass]

< Decepticon > Wiretap has encrypted this channel.

< Decepticon > Wiretap says, "Radio freq BETA has been opened for your radio requirements. Main channel also encrypted."

Spaceship < Fragment > and Scattershot have been flying around eachother this entire battle, and now, finally, one manages to swat down the other. Fragment is the one taking the battlestation's charged blast, and the ship crackles inside and out. His cockpit clouds with a circuit burn smoke waif. The ship spirals losing momentary navigation control. When he steadies again, Fragment spits, < < Good. My turn. > > His cutting laser arms, and the scorpion vessel comes about. His flightpath mildly evasive with random angle changes.

"OH hohoho!" Redshift replies, as Trailbreaker tries to get his attention with an obvious ploy. "I'm ten TIMES the manifold it takes to take you down, Trailbreaker!" Redshift retorts, especially since Trailbreaker's attention is focused on maintaining a field around Kup. A pity Redshift has no way to just knock Trailbreaker out, but a little /deep-frying/ in hot plasma might do the trick just the same! He focuses both of his palm-flamers at Trailbreaker, and fires off a more concentrated blast of fuel and oxidizers.

Combat: Spaceship < Fragment > misses Battlestation < Scattershot > with his Laser Beam (Laser) attack!

Combat: Targetting Error: No target named 'trailbrraker'

Combat: Redshift strikes Trailbreaker with his Turn up the heat! attack!

The acid continues to burn into Sunder, and no water in space to wash it off, either! He searches again for a target, and settles on taking on Trailbreaker again. He rushes at him with his talons bared once more. < < Maybe someone should give you /hip surgery/ too! > > he says, as he attempt to gouge at the oldtimer.

"RRRrraaaaaaghhh!" Scrabbling against the forcefield only served to aggravate the sixchanger more. Sixshot knew that so long as he pressed his attack, it would have to shatter sooner or later...He was busy trying to escalate this when Kup up and decided to not give him enough time to do so. The rudeness. The winged lupine was knocked back with the solid punch, twisting in the emptiness of space without anything to firmly grasp onto...But be it within air or space, the sixchanger wasn't bothered by this, and he righted himself sure enough. "So you're choosing to hide behind that little shield? Do you think it'll protect you for long?! I will enjoy shattering that pathetic forcefield and then ripping /apart/ your rust-infested body so that the Autobots wont have much more than scraps to comit!"

And then he attacked the forcefield in earnest, with metal shattering force, and lancing teeth and claws.

Combat: Sunder misses Trailbreaker with his I'll make you Fallen so you can't get up! attack! [Pulled -2]

Mindwipe gets shot up by the Autobot! Ow! He nearly loses his perch, when it seems like something dreadful is happening inside. Idly, he wonders which spacer to bum a ride off... He twirls the pistol lazy and snaps off a quick shot at his foe.

Combat: Mindwipe misses 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR < Deadeye > with his Viper Pistol - Low Level Energy (Disruptor) attack!

'''Hey look, it's the Autobots!... turn'''

< Decepticon > Astrotrain says, "...I hate Quintessons even more now too."

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "AAAGH"

Battlestation < Scattershot > gets ready to take off again. However, his focus has turned to Fragment. Apparently that cannon shot did a lot of damage and he means to finish the seeker off!

Lifting into the air, the wings extend, engines lock into place and the nose locks into place, revealing Scattershot's second form to be a heavy fighter.

Combat: Scattershot sets his defense level to Protected.

Deadeye power slides out of the way of the shot and as he does, the power slide sends him towards Mindwipe and will hopefully knock him off of his perch.

Combat: Battlecruiser < Scattershot > strikes Spaceship < Fragment > with his Megavolt Pulse Cannon attack! [Pulled -4]

Combat: 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR < Deadeye > strikes Mindwipe with its Punch attack!

Trailbreaker does his best Brawn impression as Redshift's blast breaks through the armor on his right shoulder causing a purple explosion. Only difference is Trailbreaker ain't dead, in fact he looks a little pissed, but that look disappears quickly enough as he chuckles at Redshift while he uses the zero gravity to backflip out of the way of Sunder's claws. "You're not having any fun Redshift, here, this is a BLAST." he says as he fires a large Japanimation missile at the Decepticon, complete with speed lines.

Combat: Trailbreaker misses Redshift with his Missile attack!

While Kup is worried that Trailbreaker's going to exhaust his energy reserves in his efforts to protect him, he can't resist the opportunity to heckle the clearly frustrated six-changer. Kup shakes his head at Sixshot, smirking. "Ahh, come on, a big, strong, Decepticon like you oughta be able to smash down this little field, no problem! I mean, come on, it's thinner than a piece of a paper!" Nevermind the physics of it all. "Here, I'll stick my foot out, and if yer lucky, maybe you can get a nibble on it!" Kup does indeed stick his foot out, but it's mostly only so he can kick Sixshot in the chops.

Combat: Kup misses Sixshot with his Kick attack!

Rodimus Prime has arrived.

Mindwipe gets knocked clean off his perch by the Autobot, and he drifts off into space... forever! Okay, he drifts off into space until he remembers to call a spacer to pick him up. It's close enough.

Mindwipe turns into a bat. Is anyone shocked?

Combat: Giant Bat < Mindwipe > begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from Decepticon Starship < Absolution >, Battlecruiser < Scattershot > , Spaceship < Fragment > , and Autobot Flagship < Orion Pax >

< Decepticon > Mindwipe says, "Nooooo!"

Photon hesitates for a moment before going back in to help Fragment...but what he hears on the faction channel convince him to show some bravery. Swiftly, he transforms back into his pyramind jet mode and goes after the techobot commander all gun blazing.

Photon leaps fowards and shifts into a golden pyramid jet.

Combat: Pyramid Jet < Photon > misses Battlecruiser < Scattershot > with his Laser attack!

Spaceship < Fragment > is caught once more in the glory of the Megavolt Pulse. And this time he doesn't lose nav-control when the blast rock him like a wave crashing into a rowboat... however, his thrusters, both main and manuevering, start to chug and sputter out a little as he uses them now. < < Retribution. Taste mine. > > His Phase Cannon powers up once more, this time with more energy commited. The phantom-beam lances from the scorpion array.

Combat: Spaceship < Fragment > misses Battlecruiser < Scattershot > with his Phase Cannon attack!

Sunder growls as he misses, but hey, at least someone else hit! His fangs flash as he bares them in frustration. He warms up his headcannon, aiming it at Trailbreaker. < < You are unsuited to this environment. I will best you! > > the Sweep insists. The headcannon fires.

Combat: Sunder strikes Trailbreaker with his Headcannon Blast < Low > (Laser) attack!

Sixshot was ready this time when Kup sought to take advantage of the one-sided nature of the forcefield, and he narrowly missed getting a foot to where a fist had landed earlier. Missed and then transformed, casting aside the more primal facade for his intimidating robot stature. "You're only serving to make the end result all the more satisfying when I /do/ break through! Throw your taunts now while you can you out of date fleshy play-thing." He was well aware of the physics of the thing, but. Well. He was also a Decepticon, and an alleged Weapon of Destruction (tm), so the best manner of approach was tried and true.

A pair of silver-metalled guns appeared within both hands, and he trained them near point-blank at Kup.

Sixshot reverts with a swift series of twists into a formidable robot.

Combat: Sixshot strikes Kup with his Hypersonic Concussion Blaster attack! [Pulled -3]

Combat: Trailbreaker's forcefield absorbs Sixshot's attack.

Redshift is one lean and sexy agility machine tonight! Probaly because he is decked out with maneuvering thrusters and wings and jetboots and is immersed in his element: The cold darkness of kicking your butt in space! Redshift blasts his thrusters to push himself sideways, away from Trailbreaker's hefty missile. Redshift switches back to his plasma rifle, and, seeing that Sunder is trying to get a piece of Trailbreaker, so he loosk for someone else... Scattershot! Redshift takes aim, and fires off a quick volley of plasma-ion bolts at the Technobot commander.

Combat: Targetting Error: No target named 'sdcattershot'

Combat: Redshift misses Battlecruiser < Scattershot > with his Incinerator Rifle attack! [Pulled -5]

AUTOBOTS

2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR < Deadeye > looks as he gets word from Scattershot for help and he guns his wheels and spins as his opponant runs away. Once he has a lock on the fighter after Scattershot,his headlights fold down, as a missile appears and he gets a target locked ont he Decepticon, and he jumps, using speed and the thrust form his exhaust to move form the Space Station to the Pax and as he hits, he guns his wheels in reverse and slides as he keeps his lock on Photon and fires a missile at him.

Combat: 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR < Deadeye > strikes Pyramid Jet < Photon > with its Hellfire Missiles attack!

Ouch!

As if Sunder's face wasn't painful enough to look at, it really gets ugly when his mohawk starts shoot friggin' lazers at you. "Why you big blue..." Trailbreaker begins to say before he has to get his balance as Six-Shot's attack hits the forcefield surrounding Kup HARD. This Autobot has learned the art of buying time, no need to stop now. "Is that the best you've got, Sunder? If you really want to knock me out just use your breath, it could knock out Trypticon... and he can't even smell."

Combat: Trailbreaker takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass]

Kup winces for a moment as Scattershot's concussion blasters tear into the shield, but, to his amazement, the field stays up! "Trailbreaker!" Kup yells, "You can drop the shield now! THAT'S AN ORDER! You need some juice to get yourself back home!" He decides to opt out of attacking Sixshot physically--he's out of reach anyway--and instead fires upon him with his musket. "Don't worry about it, Sixshot, we're not sticking around anyway!"

Combat: Kup strikes Sixshot with his Acid Musket Laser attack! [Pulled -4]

Battlecruiser < Scattershot > banks behind Fragment and seems to cackle while Fragment is behind him. he even is missed by Redshift. However, his own wings open up to aim at both Fragment and Redshift. He's.....way too calm for this battle.

Combat: Battlecruiser < Scattershot > misses Redshift with his Wing-Mounted Sonic Shell Area attack!

Combat: Battlecruiser < Scattershot > misses Spaceship < Fragment > with his Wing-Mounted Sonic Shell Area attack!

DECEPTICONS

Pyramid Jet < Photon > is caught off-guard by the attack. Pieces of his armor are sent flying around...space pollution have you no shame? It takes a moment before he can regain control and detect who dared to attack him. "You're so dead autobot!" The pyradmid jet dives towards this new opponent (as long as you can dive in space). The tip of his cannons glow before he unleash his deadly heat rays.

Combat: Pyramid Jet < Photon > misses 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR < Deadeye > with his Heat Guns attack!

Spaceship < Fragment > swivels his array behind him as Scattershot moves to his six. He's about to fire when Scattershot lets loose with the sonic shells, one of which comes after him. With weakened thrusters, Fragment keeps his head and keeps his evasive manuever short and sweet, not trusting the power output of his propulsions. The shell barely passes by, but it does pass by. Fragment tries to shake Scattershot while opening up with his Disruptor.

Combat: Spaceship < Fragment > misses Battlecruiser < Scattershot > with his Disruptor Beam (Disruptor) attack!

Whatever else was going on, Sixshot was mostly paying attention to Kup. He lowered the muzzles to both of the blasters and if half his face weren't hidden, he'd be frowning slightly. "You're ruining the game." Where was the fun if he just /dropped/ the shield? He had one last chance at getting one in on Trailbreaker before the order was followed through-- and he slammed at the shield with a large...very large foot. Dismissively he ignored the damage done to him by the other's lasers when he failed to get out of the way, and continued to close in, casting aside the guns to get a bit personal should the forcefield finally dissipate.

The combatants fighting out here in the space between the titanic Orion Pax and the formerly-Copernicus space station might be occupied with thier epic space free-for-all... But the Copernicus Station has obviously been dealth a serious blow, and several large holes in the station are venting it's atmosphere out into space.

Redshift eys the deteriorating condition of the space station, an makes some inquiries over the radio, while simultaneously dodging Scattershot's barrage of sonic shells. "Is that the best you can do, Technobrat?" He snaps, and transforms into his /own/ spacefighter mode. With a huge flare of his egnines, he blasts his way towards Scattershot, aiming for a catastrophic collision course!

Combat: Sixshot misses Kup with his Kick attack!

Redshift transforms into his sleek spacecraft mode and takes to the air.

Combat: Redshift sets his defense level to Fearless.

Combat: Error - You don't have enough energon (14) for this attack.

Combat: Red Spaceship < Redshift > strikes Battlecruiser < Scattershot > with his Full Speed Ahead attack! [Pulled -1]

Combat: You are running low on energon!

< Decepticon > Redshift says, "So, the Not-Blot station is... venting gas?"

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "..nng.. we're being knocked off course. COMPILE!"

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "COMPILE! Seal this at once!"

Sunder gets frustrated and pulls out his combination Grenade Launcher/Disruptor Rifle, loading a grenade into the secondary firing chamber. < < I'll send them off with a bang! > > he snarls over the shortrange. Moving back so he can get all his targets into one neat little group to aim at, Sunder fires the Rocket Launcher and watches as the Rocket-Propelled grenade streaks towards its area of targets.

< Decepticon > Compile says, "I am on it. Hold onto your six."

< Decepticon > Redshift says, "what IS going on in there?"

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "There's been an explosion. The laser assembly is damaged!"

< Decepticon > Compile says, "Nothing, just a minor power cell leak. Everything is fine up here.  How are you?"

< Decepticon > Dr. Excise says, "It's venting gas, huh? Maybe we should rename it Blot Station."

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "The Emperor has been wounded. EXCISE! Get back to the Absolution and ready the repair bay for the wounded!"

Trailbreaker knows when it's time to boogey, as the explosion from Sunder's grenade propels him up and away towards the Autobot Shuttle, at the same time he deactivates the forcefield surrounding Kup.

Combat: Trailbreaker's forcefield protecting Kup vanishes.

Kup glares back at Sixshot. "This ain't no game, psycho, and if it was, I wouldn't want anything to do with it." And whether or not Trailbreaker keeps his shield up, Kup decides to hustle out of there, turning and fleeing on foot towards the nearest airlock. "Wish I could use my truck mode, but I'd just float off the damn hull since the tires won't stick to it!" he grumbles to himself. Shrapnel sparks against the shield protecting him as Kup runs, just long to stop the attack before the field finally fades away.

Combat: Kup begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from Decepticon Starship < Absolution >, Trailbreaker, Rodimus Prime, Battlecruiser < Scattershot > , Sixshot, 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR < Deadeye > , Exo-Armor Pegasus < Jayson Redfield > , Pyramid Jet < Photon > , Red Spaceship < Redshift > , Spaceship < Fragment > , and Autobot Flagship < Orion Pax >

Deadeye dodges the laser fire form Photon as he races across the hull of the Pax, and he thinks as he transforms, heading for the entrance of the Pax as he retreats form the battle.

< Decepticon > Big-Brother-Sweep Sunder says, "My apologies. The grenade that struck Kup must have hit you as well."

YES, IT IS CON TURN

< Decepticon > Big-Brother-Sweep Sunder says, "At least it caused him to flee. That in itself is a victory."

Pyramid Jet < Photon > ponders chassing the fleeing autobots but he already spent too much energon on this mission. Instead, he heads back towards the station to see if he can find a medic to patch him up

Combat: Pyramid Jet < Photon > begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from Decepticon Starship < Absolution >, Battlecruiser < Scattershot > , Red Spaceship < Redshift > , Spaceship < Fragment > , and Autobot Flagship < Orion Pax >

The Sweep is satisfied that his attack seems to have driven off the Autobots. The day is won? Well, for now. < < Sixshot, again, my sincerest apologies. I would make it up to you. Come by the Sanctum, after you are repaired, and I will give you some energon. > >

Combat: Sunder takes extra time to steady himself. [Pass]

Sixshot was built for taking damage, and while Kups earlier shot still wreaked its havock...It was no less annoying. Like say another Decepticon catching him midway into a follow up! "What--!" The explosion threw the sixchanger into the hull where he bounced off back into space, shrapnel filling the void with the smoke rapidly thinning. Thinning in time for him to see a rapidly departing Kup, "I'm not finished yet!" No game?! He fired off a few more shots before the other got out of range and into whatever hide-away hole before he turned his frustration onto the channels instead.

Red Spaceship < Redshift > was once surrounded by Autobots, including Kup, Scattershot, and Trailbreaker... Now they've all turned tail and ran, leaving Redshift to reign supreme! "That's right, RUN you Autobots! RUN!" Redshift emits over local frequencies, while trying to get a bead on some of the retreating Autobots. Too spread out for another bombing run... Redshift instead decides to blast out with his long-range disruptors, targetting the biggest of his available targets... Scattershot.

Spaceship < Fragment > eases off on his thrusters, allowing them to cool and reducing the strain on his damaged manuevering systems. < < Another day. > >

BOTS > :] 

< Decepticon > Sixshot says, "The only victory I choose to accept, is when I hold his still beating energon pump in my fangs before crushing it, Sunder."

Trailbreaker gets moving, and likes it.

Combat: Trailbreaker begins retreating, leaving himself vulnerable to parting shots from Decepticon Starship < Absolution >, Battlecruiser < Scattershot > , 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR < Deadeye > , Pyramid Jet < Photon > , Red Spaceship < Redshift > , Spaceship < Fragment > , and Autobot Flagship < Orion Pax >

< Decepticon > Big-Brother-Sweep Sunder says, "That is the victory we all hope for."

< Decepticon > Redshift says, "Autobots, 0. Redshift, 1 million"

< Decepticon > Ramjet says, "Yess.. you are six times greater than any other Decepticon in my command, Sixshot!"

Sixshot later sends Sunder his menu preference for energon. Plus or minus a Decepticon suprise.

Huh, I think my log was cut off unexpectedly; If you have additional log data, please add!
