ROBOT FIGHT CLUB

[thanksoptimus]

Who: Orion Pax and the Autobutts.
Where: Next to a conveniently places crevasse near the tower.
When: March 16, around the time that Fake Dynamo is freaking out.
What: The bad guy figures out there are more robots lurking around and sends its biggest robot to try to deal with them.
Warnings: SUDDEN ROBOT ULTRAVIOLENCE (ok maybe not ultraviolence, maybe just super violence.)


He's barely conscious, after what just happened, but his body is still moving. He doesn't know what the objective is. He can just feel himself slip in and out of awareness, the only consistent thing being the terrible mental pain that lingers from having his processor slammed by some kind of code push from the AI. He doesn't even really know why.

He just knows that something happened, and that the creature got extremely angry because of it. And that it was apparently somehow his fault. He's not sure if he should be proud of himself for that nebulous victory or not.

His pilot has decided that the Cybertronian being fully conscious during these efforts has been far from helpful thus far - this is something it can deal with more permanently later. But for now something urgent is happening, and paranoia is rising in its alien mind. Enemies are going to be coming, from all sides. These are only the first, but it will not be cornered by filth.

It forces the bot's body into its vehicle mode and charging towards the group at full speed, as soon as his scouts' observations have been visually confirmed. Having more of these metal bodies at its disposal could be very useful in this war.

They're ready for this -- as ready as they can be, at least. The intel that Arcee had received from Legion is a huge help, at least, and Arcee's shared everything she knows with Ultra Magnus. They have to know going in what they're in for. They have to be prepared -- for an Optimus who's being controlled by someone else, who's going to attack them. They'll be ready for him this time.

Arcee's taking point as commander. Out of the three of them, Ultra Magnus is the only one who's really equipped to take Optimus head-on in a fight. She figures she and Rodimus can run interference and support as needed, try to subdue Optimus and take him back to their temporary base of operations as soon as they can. They don't have a way of dealing with the mind control protocol right now, but they'll find one. First step is taking Optimus back. Arcee just hopes that for once -- for once -- Rodimus will find it in him to obey orders.

She's in vehicle mode, her tires kicking up a spray of sand as she rides alongside the others. "Here he comes, guys. Stay on your guard -- whatever's controlling him is pretty damn ruthless."

I told you we'd come back for you, Optimus. We're going to get you out of this.
