Meanwhile, in Autobot City...

[ogicsucks]

*Prowl transformed as he rolled up to a hilltop overlooking Autobot City. Seeing half of his vision in ruins pained him beyond measure, but there was time for that later. Transforming into his wolf mode, he crept closer, or at least as much as a gigantic metal caning truly can creep

[SComm: Officer Frequency] No sparks? Can you get me some more data? Roadbuster an' Hydroplane volunteered to head over there, so there's your reinforcements. As for other heavy hitters, I think that leaves Sunstreaker and Sideswipe... [/scomm]

*Blaster suddenly remembers he has a new alt mode. He spares a little processing power to run a diagnostic on his transformation circuits. He's surprised by what he finds.*

[SComm:Officer Frequency] I can go out as backup, too, after I finish the last round'a communication scans. I...think I'm some kinda tank now. [/scomm]

[Scomm:Officer Freq] "If you go, bro, that means I'd better dig in an' hold the fort here with Ratchet, I think. Prowl, I just spoke with Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, an' the two of them are now outside the Ark running patrol of the area to make sure our turf is clear while the network's still bein' worked on. If anythin' over in Autobot City goes real bad, we can direct the Twins that way to lend a hand. As is, Sunstreaker is really spoilin' for a fight." [/Scomm]

[Scomm: Jazz] Only if it gets that necessary. I got every confidence in Roadbuster's arsenal. [/comm]

(Hello backtracking, how are you?))

Blaster turns to Jazz. "Okay, you got the helm now, bro. I'll be back a-sap. Once 'Latch gets the SkySpy up we'll get a better picture overall of what's goin' on out there. I'll be checkin' on it from the field but save the records here, too."

He leaves the room and waits until he gets to the Ark's entrance to try transforming.

Yup, he's a tank of some sort.

"Wild."

He sits for a moment processing how his driving ability works. It's not really meshing with his previous sense of motion.

He transforms back to robot mode with a "Do Not Want" type of expression. Fortunately for him, someone else arrives to help.

Not long afterwards another wolf emerges from the trees and pauses, noting with interest the pawmarks in the soft ground. The half-ruined city doesn't affect her as much as it did Prowl, she's come straight from the destruction of their homeworld after all, but it is interesting by sheer fact of it's existance. [Comm:Blaster] I'm on site, I'll alert Prowl that I'm here.[/comm] [SComm:Prowl] Prowl, this is Shadow, I've been sent here by Blaster incase you needed backup. I'm five klicks to the east of the city, just in the trees.[/comm]

[SComm: Shadow] Confirmed Shadow. What is your alt mode, in case shooting starts? I try to avoid friendly fire whenever possible. [/scomm]

*As Prowl creeps through the shadows of buildings, he receives the message from Jazz.* [SComm: Jazz] When is Sunstreaker NOT wanting to fight? I think I'd prefer to keep the other half of the City more or less undamaged *chuckles* I'm still seeing more of these drones... it looks like they have some fliers as well. Still a few minutes out of the center of the City, and their numbers keep increasing. [scomm]

[SComm:Prowl] Midlands cyberwolf, grey and black. Yours? [/comm]

[ogicsucks]

[SComm: Shadow] *Chuckling* Oh, I don't think I'll be that hard to spot. Just look for the big metal wolf. [/scomm]

*Just as Roadbuster walks outside the Ark and prepares to transform, a portal opens in the sky and a man falls to the ground

((Sorry for my absence. RL has been fun like that X_X

*Hydroplane exits soon after in his beast mode, blinking at the sight of the human. He takes a few tentative steps forward, sniffing.* Sir...? What is this human doing here...? O_o;;

*Still looking at the human oddly, he hops into the Sarge's backseat, making himself as comfortable as he could on the seats...or as comfortable as one can be when one is an over-sized pup.*

[sargncharge]

(( S'all good. I've been going through the same thing myself))

*Ash looks back at the new arrival.* Okay, you've got talkin' dogs here too. The Necronimicon is DEFINITELY behind alla this.

*Roadbuster sighs yet again.* Actually, that's one of my best mechs, and he's not a dog, he's a coyote. Hydroplane, this is Ash, and he's gonna be tagging along with us.

*Roadbuster peels out, making his best possible time for Autobot City*

(( I'll start another post as Prowl tomorrow, I'm a bit short on time tonight.))

An F-16 rockets by overhead, making a wide circuit over the city. It's larger than the average Fighting Falcon, and is sporting a red, silver, and blue paint scheme that would be annoyingly familiar if anyone can see those details. It's flying unnaturally fast for an F-16, too. It circles the city a few times as if checking out the situation.

((Someone mentioned RL? >_o ))

((yes that annoying thing between RP's X_X
