ROCK'EM SOCK'EM ROBOTS [BIG OPEN FIGHT LOG]

[sufferist]

Who: Signless, Robots, and YOU
Where: City Hall, and all over downtown LA.
When: April 14th
What: Signless bates the Cybetronians into having a big fight in downtown LA while attempting to get a valuable artifact. Earth civilians and superheroes are SUPER WELCOME to notice the fuss and try to stop the fighting/safe people from collateral damage.
Warnings: SUDDENLY ROBOT ULTRAVIOLENCE

Signless leaves himself, and the hammer, visible at first. He wants them to see him, to know that the battle is imminent - and with any luck, a conflict will start. He'll do his best to disappear and keep them hunting for him as as long as possible after he's initially been spotted. Maximum collateral damage is his goal.

It also helps that he's an empath. He'll be taking whatever opportunities he can to agitate people's emotions, whether it be anger, panic, or fear, in the attempt to make ever more chaos.

This is a party style log, meaning you can make you own threads and scenarios. Signless will be around with the hammer. LET'S MAKE THIS AS BIG OF A CLUSTERFUCK AS POSSIBLE, GUYS.

Drift’s tires screech across the pavement as he brakes, skidding to a halt just a few feet in front of the bot blocking his path. Who knew he’d be lucky that the crowds had kept him from gaining too much speed? It takes a split second for him to get his bearings – disoriented from the sudden stop. Almost on reflex, he backs up to put more distance between them and get a better look at whoever’s stopped his advance.

Airachnid? This is one bot he had not been expecting to run into. She still hasn’t made any move towards him, so he only inches forward; a low, but threatening rumble in his engine. There’s no need to start a fight here if he doesn’t have to – not if he doesn’t know the situation with the other Autobots.

“If I were you, I’d get out of the way. I don’t have time for detours right now.”

So the vehicle is a Cybertronian, and, judging from the ever-recognizable red insignia Airachnid just spotted, an Autobot to boot. It doesn't take her much to come to the conclusion that his goals are undoubtedly the same as her own: get in, grab the hammer, and get out. That and his current lack of involvement in the skirmish make him a dangerous competitor. Better to just take care of him now. A little incapacitation never hurt anybody.

"I'm afraid I can't do that," she says, shifting to a somewhat more ready stance. "You see, there's something here that I've come to collect, and I would so hate if it fell into the wrong hands – that is, your hands."

Since she’s looking to pick a fight, there’s no way he’s going to get around it. And while Drift might not admit it aloud, there’s a slight eagerness in his spark at the prospect. He hasn’t gotten into a real bout since arriving on earth.

A hasty study of the situation shows that the odds aren’t in his favor. Airachnid’s already transformed and Drift is the only one who’ll need to be mindful of the humans still fleeing the area. If he takes the time to transform now, Airachnid will have the split second advantage over him. So instead, he revs his engine and pushes forward at full speed – aiming to slam straight into the other bot.

“Alright then, just don’t forget – I gave you the chance to opt out.”
