Knock Out had ventured beyond the city limits for a little free road time, and he wasn't really in a mood to be interrupted to begin with. He'd been focusing on the exhilarating feel of the wind through his vents, cruising along miles of endless black asphalt with no other traffic for miles -- a perfect scene.
Until the jet dropped out of altitude like an exceptionally graceful sack of bricks and started firing on him.
Knock Out's tires squeal sickeningly on the road as he screeches to a sidelong halt, peeling back across the road in a whirling K-turn to narrowly avoid the shots at his tires. A hurried scan of the oncoming jet doesn't reveal much, but there's no mistaking those weapon blasts for anything but energon, and Knock Out's engines nearly stall in shock. Another Transformer -- here? On this planet? Knock Out doesn't know too many Autobots with flight-capable alt modes, but he's being attacked, there's no other explanation. How could the Autobots have known he was here? Had they tracked his shuttle from the scene of the battle -- discovered his life signs on this planet? Scrap.
Well, if the Autobot came out to play, then it's only fair that Knock Out lead him on a little chase. A land-based vehicle mode does have its advantages, and Knock Out kicks up a massive cloud of dust as he peels off the road and heads straight for the cover of a bunch of trees nearby. He'll finish off this bot in due time, but first -- a little hot pursuit never hurt anyone.
