Shuttle is sitting on one of the pads, currently in the process of getting topped up for an interstellar trip. His rearmost ramp is down, as well as his side hatch, as Decepticon technicians look over him, giving him the treatment just like they would with any other shuttle prepping for takeoff. "And check under the nosecone! I caught a micrometeroite there not too long ago and it smarts somethin crazy!" he audibly complains.

Earthscorch is standing around, and nods when he sees Scrapper. "It would seem it's time for a trip..."

From inside Astrotrain, Ballistic smirks at the comments being stated, resisting the urge to comment.

Bonecrusher arrives from the Outskirts of Imperial Headquarters to the north.

Bonecrusher has arrived.

"Who's supposed to be leading this whacked out trip anyway?" Astrotrain mutters under his breath, giving a grunt as one of the techs starts to grind down the part of his nosecone that was damaged, then fill it in with some kind of special heat-resistant paste.

Airwolf arrives from the Outskirts of Imperial Headquarters to the north.

Airwolf has arrived.

Ballistic disembarks from Astrotrain.

Ballistic has arrived.

Ballistic is standing just inside the ramp to Astrotrain, looking around, smirking to himself.

Airwolf is a rare visitor to Cybertron. In fact, it's been nearly two years since she's been here. However, there is a summons she cannot ignore, and so after a quick spacebridge trip, here she is. A group of Decepticons at the spaceport catch her attention, but outside of a polite but distracted nod of greeting, she transforms and takes to the air.

Earthscorch says, "I assume Scrapper will be leading this trip, as the ranking officer, if I'm not mistaken."

Airwolf transforms into her jet helicopter mode.

Scrapper gives Astrotrain a quick look-over, foolishly trusting the gumby technicians to have properly prepared him. He nods to Earthscorch and notes hesitantly, "I suppose that I am the ranking officer here, Astrotrain."

Jet Helicopter rises upward to the Sky above Nightsiege.

Jet Helicopter has left.

Bonecrusher gives Airwolf a brief wave in way of greeting, then just stands and watches the technicians prepare Astrotrain. After all, Scrapper /is/ the ranking officer, so 'Crusher leaves it to him do organise all the details of the impending trip.

"Bully fer you then." Astrotrain's response comes to Scrapper in short order. Then again, he's never one who gives much care for rank and structure, except when they can particularly blow him away easily. Like Galvatron. "Seems everytime I turned around I was makin a trip to that mudball solar system. We should find a way to move Cybertron closer again, save all this travellin..." Apparently he'll grumble about anything that can be thusly grumbled about.

Earthscorch looks surprised as Airwolf emerges, then watches as she departs. "Now, what is she doing here...?"

Bonecrusher feels reminded of his brother Long Haul, except that Long Haul commonly grumbles about having to haul freight, while Astrotrain grumbles over having to haul people. Bonecrusher doesn't understand why one would complain about getting to fulfill his function - he loves his own function, after all. "Find a way to move Cybertron and suggest it to Galvatron, then, " he suggests sarcastically.

Bonecrusher turns to Earthscorch. "I wouldn't know."

Ballistic looks to the others now, head tilting, still quiet, waiting to see what all is happening.

The last of the technicians move back from Astrotrain then, carrying with them the fuel lines after getting him topped up. That prompts the triplechanger to give a grunt in a sort of authority-like voice. Scrapper may be leading the mission but -he- is the transport. "Awright haul yer tailpipes up on board and let's get this thing goin."

Earthscorch nods at Astrotrain's statement and quietly shuffles inside.

Earthscorch has left.

Earthscorch climbs on board Astrotrain

From inside Astrotrain, Earthscorch enters the area heavily.

Ballistic joins those inside Astrotrain.

Bonecrusher joins those inside Astrotrain.

Earthscorch takes a seat, carefully avoiding bashing his wings on anything. Years of riding with Ramjet in the pilot's seat have left him a little wary of space flight, and he clutches tightly at the armrests, in spite of himself.

Bonecrusher sits down on the floor in Astrotrain's cargo hold, leaning against a wall. Being the "rough", robust Constructicon that he is, he doesn't feel much of a need for comforts.

Scrapper technically has the space pilot ability, but Astrotrain can fly himself, so he'll just be a passenger on this ride. He takes a chair, which is a bit too big for the short Constructicon, and he straps himself in.

Ballistic just settles in, nodding towards Bonecrusher as he gets settled, and watches the readouts.

From outside, Shuttle likes it better when people leave his cockpit alone anyway, even though he technically can't stop anyone from sitting in the two seats. Which some do of course. "Awright." He can be heard on the internal speakers, as the shuttle starts to slowly slide backwards as the launching ramp points him towards the sky. It isn't long before his thrusters ignite in a great series of mushroom clouds, suddenly slamming him forward...and up, towards orbit. With little to no warning for his passengers.

From outside, You blast off and launch yourself towards the Orbit of Cybertron.

<travel spam>

From outside, Shuttle eventually docks with the remains of the Tyranny, entering the exposed, modified hangar bay, and setting down on the bottom with a faint *CLANK* as atmosphere is pumped in. Not that transformers need to breathe of course but it makes some other things easier. "I was expectin a bit more." Astrotrain admits.

Ballistic hrmmms at that and looks around "Commander, is this purely a salvage operation?"

Scrapper's player should have read the descriptions more closely. Maybe that chair of Scrapper's was just an animation error? Look, now he's standing up in the back. Those wacky animators. He braces himself against a wall, not liking the sound of Astrotrain needing an upgrade. Now that they're there, he replies, "Some Terran craft have been buzzing one of our outposts. We're here to investigate."

From outside, Shuttle grunts as he lowers his rear-most ramp to ground level, to let his passengers disembark and look at what they will. "Sounds to me like the squishies are feelin too big for their britches."

Sideswipe says, "Yes, sir!"

Ballistic hrmmmms and actualy begins to grin "Stipulations against maximum negative response to their intrusions, commander?" brow ridge up.

Earthscorch stands and faces Scrapper. "Okay. We're here. I'm wondering what we're going to do if a space battle erupts though... Should we defend the base from within, sir?"

Bonecrusher stands up, moving his limbs a bit to check if his joints still work after the travel. "Stupid fleshlings..." he comments.

Earthscorch smirks at Bonecrusher. "They are indeed stupid if they seek to face us in space. Their fragile organic bodies are susceptible to decompression and exposure to the vacuum of deep space. Our jobs may be simpler than usual, and with more permenant results..."

Bonecrusher grins a bit at Earthscorch, liking his line of thought.

Ballistic chuckles as he stands up, checking his weapons, the rotary canons on his arms spinning up.

From outside, Shuttle idly runs a system scan on himself in the meantime. 90% fuel remaining, systems optimal. Everything's looking good so far. "So what do we wanna do? Meet em out there? Let em come here? See if they're even -out- there? I mean I can fly around a bit and keep an eye out or something. I'm just the transport here."

Bonecrusher climbs out of Astrotrain.

From outside, Bonecrusher Enters the Tyrrany via one of the Airlocks.

Bonecrusher Enters the Tyrrany via one of the Airlocks.

From outside, Dropped.

Earthscorch enters the area heavily.

Shuttle drops Earthscorch.

From the monitors you see and hear. Cybertronian Jet <Jetfire> slowly enters the asteroid field avoiding the floating obstacles gracefully. Now that he is out of the atmosphere his wings are more a nuisance than a boon. The wings slowly retract to the sides giving the jet a more wedge-like shape. "Allright Autobots, we are entering the asteroid field. Keep your sensors on alert."

From the monitors you see and hear. Bonecrusher enters the Asteroid belt.

Bonecrusher enters the Asteroid belt.

From the monitors you see and hear. Bonecrusher comes in from the inner planets.

Scrapper hmms and thinks. He actually has a vague clue of what should ideally happen here and dictates, "We should just try to lure them in close and be ready to bail at a moment's notice. Our noble leader Galvatron has a bit of a surprise planned here."

From the monitors you see and hear. Autobot Shuttle <Ranger> tails behind his fellow Autobots, suppressing his jealousy at their superior abilities long enough to face the real distraction of being amongst the stars once again. He sighs as he darts amongst the asteroids of the belt, relaxed now that he's escaped the entrapment of gravity... well, almost.

Bonecrusher accelerates out of the asteroid belt.

Shuttle grunts as he continues to sit on the landing pad. Up to, and including the point that the monitors suddenly come alive with activity happening out -there-. "...uh uh, don't look now. The welcoming commitee seems to be on it's way."

Ballistic just keeps in ranks, not speaking, oh so evil.

Bonecrusher disembarks from Astrotrain, staying close to the others and cautiously looking out for - disturbances...

<Decepticon> Scrapper repeats, "We should just try to lure them in close and be ready to bail at a moment's notice. Our noble leader Galvatron has a bit of a surprise planned here."

<Decepticon> Military Transport Astrotrain says, "Well think fast. They're already coming."

From the monitors you see and hear. Scattershot carefully navigates around drifting rock upon entering the asteroid belt, yet his excitement for butting heads with Decepticons is hardly contained. Already his nosecone is brimming with energy, while maneuvering in a path similar to Jetfire, scanners working at a feverish pace for Decepticon presence.

From inside Astrotrain, Ballistic Leaves the Tyrrany via one of the functional Airlocks.

From the monitors you see and hear. Ballistic climbs on board Astrotrain

Ballistic climbs on board Astrotrain

From inside Astrotrain, Ballistic has disconnected.

From the monitors you see and hear. Inside Jetfire: Michael Briar gets up and taps on Jetfire's hull. "I'm going to head out, open the hatch when I suit up." He walks around his suit and begins to climb into it. "If anything shows up odd, give a shout out guys. Let's do this by the numbers." he states. He always says that, as if it's really needed anyway.

<Decepticon> Military Transport Astrotrain says, "Agh would ya make a plan already? You're in charge of this outing aintcha?"

From the monitors you see and hear. Cybertronian Jet <Jetfire> says, "Roger that commander Briar, this is your show. Lead I will cover you."

<Decepticon> Scrapper builds stuff! Tactics is not his thing. "Er... maybe only the space capable should disembark? Or everyone should keep a space capable buddy, in case things get dicey."

From the monitors you see and hear. Inside Jetfire: Michael Briar suits up and seals Exo-Suit 6861 <StarKnight> around himself.

From the monitors you see and hear. Inside Jetfire: Exo-Suit 6861 <StarKnight> starts up smoothly, generator softly humming.

From the monitors you see and hear. Exo-Suit 6861 <StarKnight> steps out of the big cybertronian jet.

From the monitors you see and hear. Inside Jetfire: Exo-Suit 6861 <StarKnight> enters the Asteroid belt.

From the monitors you see and hear. Exo-Suit 6861 <StarKnight> comes in from the inner planets.

<Decepticon> Bonecrusher says, "Well, I'm not space capable!"

Bonecrusher wishes Scrapper had a bit of a PLAN, slaggit!

<Decepticon> Galvatron says, "And for the love of god.  Don't get to close.  Just because I have to talk with this autobot piece of trash right now doesn't mean I am not aware of the situation.  I have a "surprise" for our friends.

<Decepticon> Military Transport Astrotrain says, "See now that's what I'm talkin about. Everybody out of the pool! Hopskotch off the asteroids if you're not built to fly in it! Let's give em a show!"

Shuttle dosen't even wait for an 'okay' on this part. His thrusters ignite and he just -slams- forward and out of the hanger bay.

From the monitors you see and hear. Shuttle enters the Asteroid belt.

From the monitors you see and hear. Autobot Shuttle <Ranger> has numbers. Ranger has lots of numbers. They're needed for astronavigation, but that's probably not what Briar means, huh. "Acknowledged, moving into supporting formation." He radios as he takes this opportunity to move closer to Jetfire, worrying over his ineptitude in combat as they make an assault run on the Decepticon installation. Oo-er.

From the monitors you see and hear. Michael Briar comes in from the Asteroid Belt

From the monitors you see and hear. <Exo-Suit 6861> Michael Briar accelerates out of the asteroid belt.

From the monitors you see and hear. Michael Briar suits up and seals Exo-Suit 6861 <StarKnight> around himself.

From the monitors you see and hear. Exo-Suit 6861 <StarKnight> starts up smoothly, generator softly humming.

<Decepticon> Scrapper says, "You heard the Emperor! Don't get too close. Just try to herd them closer to that outpost, while keeping your distance."

<Decepticon> Bonecrusher says, "Roger that!"

<Decepticon> Military Transport Astrotrain says, "Less talky, more shooty!"

From the monitors you see and hear. <Exo-Suit 6861> Michael Briar waits for the hatch to open and fires a tow cable down onto Jetfire's hull behind him. He fires his thrusters and pulls against the line for a few seconds so he knows at maximium burn. As soon as he's at full power he releases the line and rockets away from Jetfire. He pulls around quickly and lines up with Jetfire while checking his weapons.

<Decepticon> Galvatron says, "My my. Scrapper in military command.  This should be interesting.  Do collect some trophies for me."

Bonecrusher braces himself for the seemingly inevitable Asteroid-hopping. He's not a spacecraft, dangit! But for the glory of the Decepticon Empire, and the Constructicons in particular...

From the monitors you see and hear. Bonecrusher enters the Asteroid belt.

Bonecrusher enters the Asteroid belt.

From the monitors you see and hear. Bonecrusher comes in from the inner planets.

You leave the Tyranny

From within the Tyrrany...

 Scrapper enters the Asteroid belt.

You enter the asteroid belt cautiously, watching for collosion.

Bonecrusher stands on - no, glides over - the asteroid's surface, seeking to adjust to the low gravity, mindful not to lose his grip on his gun, as the Autobots are already in sight...

Shuttle blasts off from inside of the imbedded ship as well, thrusters glowing white-hot as he propels outwards and away from the craft, his weapon systems coming online at the same time. Like a bullet he streaks out, heading towards the formation of Autobots and squishies.

Scrapper reluctantly leaves the deceptive safety for the junk-filled void of space. All things considered, knowing what he knows, he's not terribly happy to be here. He mutters to himself, "For every force there is and equal and opposite reaction, so if I just push off this rock..."

Scattershot silently acknowledges Briar's exit, accelerating deftly around asteroids into a closer position behind Jetfire and him. "I can't wait to scrap some Deceptijerks," he comments behind the EDC commander, as his scanners acknowledge Decepticon signatures in the distance.

Earthscorch Leaves the Tyrrany via one of the functional Airlocks.

From within the Tyrrany...

 Earthscorch enters the Asteroid belt.

Earthscorch comes in from the inner planets.

Earthscorch enters the area heavily.

<Exo-Suit 6861> Michael Briar can't help but acknowledge some of Scattershot's enthusiasm. It's been too long since he's had a good old fashioned firefight. He guns his thrusters a bit more and clicks on his radio, "All right folks, looks like they brought out the welcome wagon. Let's light them up!" He rolls quickly and banks off to give Jetfire some room to fly as he picks out his own targets. <No attacks>

Jetfire's radar scream as Astrotain drops all subtlety and simply charges towards him. "Commander Briar, we have bandits inbound. Detach and brace for combat." The cybertronian spacecraft powers up it's weapons and cycles it's launchers. The targeting reticule settles down on Astrotrain the biggest and fastest target heading towards him. Upong hearing the small buzz of a passive lock the Autobot fires off a warning shot on the shuttle's nose or somewhere near that spot.

Foxfire comes in from the inner planets.

Autobot Shuttle <Ranger> wavers in his flightpath. "Uhhh, okay. We've got inbound. Everyone out and ready." He announces, slightly ruining the effect by muttering, "Or something" under his breath. He then powers up his weapons systems, which in this mode consist of an awe-inspiring disruptor attack. Uh-oh.

Shuttle gives an audible, "Urk!" as the shots stitch in towards his direction, banking hard to one side as a couple of them tag along his wing. There is a brief flash and a contrail behind him before it settles down again, the damage being relatively minor of course. "Lousy scrap..." he mutters, pulling up again and suddenly rocketing past in a very close game of chicken with Jetfire, unleashing a stream of low-yield power from his own nosecone in response before he banks hard to one side. "Ya second rate space-flyer, that's what ya are!"

Shuttle misses Cybertronian Jet <Jetfire> with his Ion Blast: <Low Power> attack.

Earthscorch clings to an asteroid as he piles out of the base. This really isn't his enviroment and he looks a bit unhappy with the situation. His automatic rifle appears in his hand and he takes aim. True to his words on the way over, he decides to try and take out a squishy. He aims at #6861 and fires away, clinging desperately to his asteroid.

Bonecrusher balances on top of an asteroid the best he can. If Constructicons were meant to be in space, their creator had given them wings! But there's no time to ponder that now, so Bonecrusher tries to keep himself from thinking about the uncomfortable environment by concentrating on the task at hand. He aims at Scattershot and fires. His fault for coming close!

Bonecrusher strikes Scattershot with Laser from the Meanie Greenie.

Ranger has partially disconnected.

Scrapper eenie-meenie-minie-moes. Looks that annoying Briar is here. So is Jetfire, who Scrapper would rather not deal with - maybe Astrotrain can handle him? The Constructicon would also like to avoid Scattershot and... Ranger? Not being too terribly steady in space, because he's really not built for it, Scrapper tips forward, spiralling out of control.

Cybertronian Jet <Jetfire> twists sideways to avoid Astrotrain's ion blasters. The jet barelys passes between the beams and jerks up into a immelman turn (half-loop, half barrel roll resulting in the closest thing to a U-turn a jet can make). "Second rate space-flyer? That's rich coming from you. Let me show you how the real mechs play."

The cybertronian Jet maneuvers up and between the asteroids, zig-zagging between rocks to give himself some cover incase someone else takes a few potshots. Jetfire lines up Astrotrain once more. "Let's see just how tough those terran shuttles are. The gloves are off." With that Jetfire fires another volley at the Decepticon.

Cybertronian Jet <Jetfire> misses Shuttle with his Dual Particle Cannons attack.

While risky, Scattershot plows ahead through the asteroid field at a more than advisable speed, beelining his way inevitably toward the Decepticons. The attention and detail it takes to avoid giant rocks doesn't help avoid laser blasts, however, as Bonecrusher's shot lances his left wing. "I guess I'll start there," he chides in the direction of the Constructicon, while white energy continues to coalesce around his nosecone. His top-mounted turrets train on Bonecrusher before unleashing a cloud of ammunition, followed closely by the explosion of Shot's engines propelling him closer in that direction.

Scattershot strikes Bonecrusher with Twin-Gatling Guns.

<Exo-Suit 6861> Michael Briar feels the stinging blows of the automatic rifle rounds impacting on the thick armor of the exo-suit. But Briar continues on flying. Only small trails of smoke show the visble damage. Michael brings up his wide barreled forearm mounted weapon and fires a blurst of white light. If there was any air, it'd sound like a thunderclap from this bolt of power.

Autobot Shuttle <Ranger> groans to himself, wishing for perhaps the first time in his life that his shuttle mode is not sufficiently equipped with weaponry for his needs. Catching himself thinking such thoughts he chastises himself, those aren't suitable ideas for a reluctant warrior... are they? With a more characteristic reluctant sigh, he swoops around, priming his sole weapon in this mode and discharging it at an almost random target. Of course, whoever he targets, he's likely to get a whuppin'.

Autobot Shuttle <Ranger> strikes you with Disruptor for 4 points of damage.

Cons

Bonecrusher is knocked backwards as Scattershot's shot hits him in the shoulder. Not having any air resistance or such holding him back, he tumbles until his feet find purchase on another - or still the same? - asteroid again. It doesn't matter; what matters is that as Bonecrusher is finally finding some orientation again, Scattershot is /still/ coming closer. Well, all the better for him to try and get him lined up for another shot...

Bonecrusher misses Scattershot with his Laser from the Meanie Greenie attack.

Exo-Suit 6861 <StarKnight> strikes Earthscorch with electron cannon.

For his size, Astrotrain is suprisingly quick and agile. And even as he jinks and weaves between the rocks as Jetfire stays parked on his six, he suddenly enters a barrel roll as the shots unleash towards him. Flying dangerously low to one of the asteroids, the blasts screech past, narrowly missing his wings and fuselage and kicking up a storm of rocky debris from where they impact on the asteroid instead. At thsi moment, the triplechanger puts a boost of power to his thrusters, screeching away for a few seconds in a brilliant twin blossoming of power. "Hrnnn, what? You think I'm gonna be some kinda -pushover-? Try again!" With a hard bank to one side, he abruptly pulls in behind one asteroid.

 ...and in an instant, transforms, in that quickened pace that only a triplechanger, Jumpstarter or battlecharger can truly manage. Flipping mid-air, he lands with a harsh *THUD* on the next asteroid with both feet, counting down one second's passage before abruptly launching himself upwards once more, one shoulder pushed outwards in a tackling motion as he makes as if to crunch himself right into where he expects Jetfire's fuselage to be when he too comes around the asteroid.

Astrotrain's body shifts and spins as he stands upright into his robot form.

Astrotrain strikes Cybertronian Jet <Jetfire> with Blow.

Scrapper gets shot while spinning out of control. The disruptor bolt does little more than scorch his lime green armour, but it does force Scrapper to get his act together. He snaps his shovel down, hard, propelling himself over to a small piece of space rock. He grabs onto it and withdraws a gun, aiming to shoot Ranger.

You strike Autobot Shuttle <Ranger> with Constructive criticism through superior firepower.

Earthscorch oofs as he takes a hard hit to the shoulder from the Terran armor. He struggles to cling to the asteroid he was using as light cover, forcing himself to grab ahold with his rifle hand. His other hand retracts and a small gun pops out, which he uses to return fire.

Earthscorch strikes Exo-Suit 6861 <StarKnight> with disruptor.

Bots

Cybertronian Jet <Jetfire> did not expect a melee attack in the middle of a dogfight but the Autobot quickly recovers and transforms into robot mode in order to meet Astrotrain on his own turf. However, as Jetfire transforms he pulls out a huge double-barreled rifle and aims it squarely at the triple-changer's chest and whispers "Burn..."

     With the usual noise Jetfire transforms back to robot mode.

<Exo-Suit 6861> Michael Briar flinches as the blast nails him square in the chest leaving a glowing diviot, but not much else. The Starknight pulls up hard and around an asteroid while picking up speed heading towards Earthscorch. He brings his fist back as he closes the distace and lets it fly saying, "Stupid, never go into space if you can't fly in it!"

Exo-Suit 6861 <StarKnight> misses Earthscorch with its punch attack.

Autobot Shuttle <Ranger> barrel-rolls, able to move more freely whilst removed from the constraints of gravity, while the blast from the Constructicon sears a black scorchmark across his underside. Looping around neatly he charges towards his attacker... or the Decepticon defending itself against his attack? Hrm... moral quandary there.

Autobot Shuttle <Ranger> strikes you with ram for 20 points of damage.

Foxfire yelps, instintively digging his claws into the floor to keep from flying everywhere. Maybe Ranger forgot he had a passenger? "Hey," he grunts, "lemme out. Gotta do somethin'." This is the last time he stays aboard a shuttle that's in combat!

Scattershot turns his fuselage perpedicular to his previous position, effectively raising his wing out of the way of Bonecrusher's laser fire and allowing him enough clearance to narrowly sneak between two asteroids before they collide and explode into hundreds of smaller asteroid-lings. Continuing towards the Decepticon, he transforms into robot mode and lets momentum carry him the rest of the way onto Bonecrusher's rock. Landing uneventfully in a cloud of dust and debris, Shot arms his rifle and awkwardly walks and starts looking around the rock for his opponent. And there he is, not hard to miss beind green and all in a mostly gray and black environment. Shot hastily levels his rifle and peppers space with a barrage of similarly green acid-pellets to match his armor! How thoughtful!

Heroic Autobot Scattershot transforms into robot mode!

Scattershot strikes Bonecrusher with The Most Outrageously Large Acid Pellet Rifle Ever Conceived.

Cons

Astrotrain is struck by the blast and sent hurtling backwards, until he impacts another rock behind him, landing flat with a great puff of dust into the zero-G environment. "Nngeh..." he mutters, slowly getting up, though into a sitting position, as he produces his own rifle a moment later. "No really..." he states, putting the weapon to it's higher setting. "...you can KEEP IT!" A moment later, a blast of his own tears from the tip, screeching back towards Jetfire's direction.

Astrotrain strikes Jetfire with Ion Rifle : <Full>.

Earthscorch manages to move his head out of the way of the exo-suit's fist. He lets go of the asteroid, drifting directly away from it, while putting both his weapons 'away,' before the exo-suit can properly recover. When he's made some distance, he suddenly raises both fists and lets loose with a double-fisted overhand hammer punch at the little suit.

Earthscorch strikes Exo-Suit 6861 <StarKnight> with smash.

Scrapper 's optic band goes wide when he sees that big, fast shuttle coming at him. Aie, that's not really going to charge is, it? It is, and Scrapper is massively injured for his trouble. Why couldn't, like, Foxfire be here or something? Something small to pick on. He flicks out his sword and tries to slash out the shuttle's windshield. If Scrapper has to be grievously wounded, he'd going to try to get a bit of the Autobot who did it as a keepsake.

You strike Autobot Shuttle <Ranger> with Instrument of Construction.

Bonecrusher misses Scattershot with his Tackle in Space! attack.

In space, no one can hear Starscream - or Bonecrusher, for that matter. If one could, one would hear him groan with pain as the acid from Scattershot's acid pellets eats away at him. That's the bad part. The good part is that Scattershot is now on the same asteroid as Bonecrusher. With the blind enthusiasm borne from desperation, Bonecrusher propells himself in a wild jump towards Scattershot (yay low gravity!), seeking to tackle and crush him.

Bots!

<Exo-Suit 6861> Michael Briar felt that and it does not look good. He's maxing this damn suit out and then some. But it's giving him worse performance than his Glaive II. That's just sad. The exo-suit takes the smash into the shoulder crumbling Briar's statue and the damaged suit backs away while the other arm's weapon fires out solid slugs from the projectile launcher of some type. Rounds zip across space towards Earthscorch as Briar backs away, bits of metal armor slowly float away from the damaged shoulder. "Damn it, I'd give my left nut if I could have my Glaive II." he curses.
