Readying their jump packs, Cambreaker radio-confirms his and Blackjack's airdrop.
This is Cambreaker, Blackjack and I are ready to jump. 3...2...
Cambreaker and Blackjack make the jump, switching on their rockets as they fall, slowing their landing til right before touching down.
Primus, I hate doing that.
Cambreaker shakes off the sensation.
Let's get to business. Here, take this.
Cambreaker hands Blackjack the bundle of holo-lenses and transforms to drive to a location to set it up. He finds a suitable spot, and sets up the device to disrupt the security cameras and sensors on the site, just enough...
The next thing the cameras see is an M1 Abrams MBT chasing a large cybertronian tank onto the scene. The heavily armed cybertronian tank seems to be making for the bunker entrance. Suddenly, a splash of hellfire missiles wash the ground around the front tank, narrowly missing the abrams. The apache firing the missiles transforms and lands between the tanks and the entrance, taking aim with a large 30mm cannon-rifle.
Cambreaker swerves to stop, transforming as he does. retrieving a stolen rocket launcher from his back, he fires off both tubes as he skids toward the decepticon.
The tank drags to a heavy halt and transforms, firing a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher, blasting the chopper-con onto his skidplate. Its robot mode is impressive, standing tall with shoulder-mounted rockets, a large cannon on his upper arm, and another extending from his right hip. His face is wreathed by large winglike shields. He turns to face the oncoming Abrams, and begins firing his two cannons at it, missing, but forcing the decepticon to swerve hard and flip over as a blast lands singingly close.
Cambreaker looks to Blackjack and yells "Warstorm, go!" Blackjack dashes toward the bunker entrance, dodging debris thrown up from the chinook's smart bombs chasing him from the sky, he dives inside.
As the two tanks duke it out, a Chinook helicopter comes into view, chasing the bounty hunter's assistant to the door of the bunker entrance.

Alright Rattrap, im making my strikes on the base of the dam. It will be ready for you in just a few more cuts. Dinobot swings his new heavy claws deep into the base of the dam, causing major cracks to span for several yards. Alright, im getting clear. Blow this thing already!Dinobot starts propelling out of there as fast as he can

Rattrap shoves the bomb into the hole he drilled into the dam and sets the timer for 90 seconds. He propellers after Dinobot, racing downstream from the dam. After roughly 30 seconds of high speed water travel, Rattrap and Dinobot shoot out of the water and activate their jetpacks. They race upwards as the dam begins to splinter and collapse and gaze downward as the volume of Lake Mead rejoins the Colorado River. When they break atmosphere, they signal for Redline and wait.
Redline sits at the command console on the bridge of the gunship, patiently waiting and hoping to Primus that everything works.
Suddenly, she sees two beacons of light shoot from the blue atmosphere. Are those... she begins to think to herself when her thoughts are confirmed by the flashing signals from Dinobot and Rattrap.
Grabbing the controls, Redline pulls smoothly around and opens the airlock. Two of four...

Over Comms:Nighteye here. Big bogey just showed. I'm being targeted. Assistance requested.
Redline slams forward on the throttle and veers towards the massive ship. The Nighteye accelerates rapidly to throw off their targeting sensors as long as possible. She watches the first volley of white-hot energy speed past the view screen, narrowly missing the gunship.
We've got company. Hang on back there! This could get interesting. Redline shouts back, an angry gruffness in her voice. Gripping the controls tighter, she hopes the Maus will be in range before the next volley.

On board the Maus, the computer beeps and Sideways brings up a holo-radar map.
What is that?
If my calculations are correct, it appears to be a craft exiting from transwarp. I cannot ascertain it's specific location or direction of travel.
Pull the shields up to maximum and be ready with the weapons. Attack on sight. The gunship that we have in our sights ahead of us is a friendly. Try and protect them as best you can, Computer.
Affirmative.

The last thing the camera sees is the backside of the apache flying towards it, crushing it and the rest of the security recording is static.
Cambreaker, beleaguered by the relentless assault of the three remaining cons, fights on hard and heavy. His axe bites into armor, his shield is battered by the costal artillery of the giant con floating not far away, and another shot from the abrams 'con slams into his shin armor. He radios Blackjack. Not knowing that the security monitoring is over, he continues the charade.
Warstorm, destroy Megatron's precious device and get out of here! I have no more time for games!
Cambreaker delivers another powerful punch to the chin of the chinook, while shrapnel from more naval fire rains down around them.
We have no more time for games!

OOC incredibly, autobots are just as ruthless as decepticons, if not more so!
<<Billions of gallons of water flow through the cracked facade of the Hoover dam. Mega and Giga, having just arrived back at Overlord base, receive a frantic transmission from Shrapnel.>>
"Overlord, we are under attack, ATTACK!!!!!" the insecticon screached.
"The dam has been breached by undetected forces! the energon cubes are detonating, detonating! Come back, come ba---" as the last transmission from shrapnel is cut short by consecutive blasts, then finally a dead transmission.
Mega, the dam is under attack! We must transform as Overlord and counterattack! Mega simply nods swiftly at Giga, as the pair race towards Overlord base. On the way, Mega radios Darkwing and Dreadwind
Darkwing, Dreadwind! Alert Deszaras that we are under attack. It is not the human military as they were stationed around the base in defensive positions. The only conclusion is that it is the autobots!
Autobots?!?! Deszaras, we are under attack! Overlord has stated the dam has been struck by autobot saboteurs, and is no more!
Mega and Giga arrive at Overlord base, and activate the Godmaster mechanisms. Suddenly, awesomely, the "rocket defense base" shifts and moves massive mechanical cybetronian technologies until the powerful "Omega Supreme" arises from the dust. Overlord rushed back towards the dam to personally survey the damage.
Incredible. The autobots truly are unpredictable, yet defiant opponents. They have slaughtered the hundreds of humans in the dam, all in the name of halting our operations. We will use this against the autobots and turn the human governments of the world against them. If Deszaras' holo technology was not convincing enough, then surely now the autobots have made enemies of the natives here.
Along the pulverized concrete and mortar...the waters run partially red from the blood of hundreds of maimed and obliterate human bodies. Shrapnel is no where to be found as remnants of the damn still burn from the residual blast. The man-made reservoir is no more as flood waters wash through lands that have been dry for decades. The autobots have wrought utter and total destruction in a 20 mile radius from one bomb. Military vehicles are strewn out like so many rag dolls, washed away by the relentless force of newly-freed waters.
"Omega Supreme" surveys the destruction, and determines that the autobots have long since departed the scene. A hit and run excursion.
Overlord surveys the catastrophe and smiles, for though the humans may not know the cause of the damn yet, they surely will in the immediate future. This day, autobots, Overlord mused to himself, you have made more enemies than you bargained for, and they are not even decepticons. Even starscream was never so careless!!!
<<Suddenly, Overlord's on board scanners detect Decepticon transwarp signatures newly originating from earth's orbit.>>
Giga, summon whoever has arrived. Tell them autobots are here on earth, or in orbit, or both.

((OOC. Back from vacation. Glad to see that things have progressed while I was away.))
Although Blackjack knew little of the Decepticon Warstorm, he didn't want to ruin the 'con's "good" image by being sloppy with his explosives work. He was taking some time to make sure that the scene would indeed look as if a rival Decepticon was targeting the Hydrothermocline, perhaps Deszaras, perhaps one of the other officers, he didn't care. The thought of this whole thing was marvelous, finally a plan worthy of Optimus Prime. As soon as it was all set-up, he received the final transmission from Cambreaker urging him to hurry. He set the timer for 90 seconds and began running for the bunker exit. As he reached Cambreaker, he sent a comm.
Boss, the explosives are set. This should blow Megatron's little toy back to oblivion. Everything is just as Deszaras said it would be. The Decepticon's under this idiot Megatron aren't doing a very good job at security. Now, let's get back to your ship.
As he came up with the whole scheme, Blackjack was more delighted than he'd been in a long time.

Cambreaker kicks at the large con that was on top of him, trying to pound Cambreaker's head into the ground, sending him flying, and radios 'Warstorm'
You'd be surprised the resistance these...er... worms put up.
He rolls over to dodge a helicopter blade/sword being stabbed into the ground where he was. Before the chopper can chop again, Blackjack emerges from the bunker and blasts him in the hand.
Thanks! Jump!
The two turn their rocket packs on and blast up into the air. Cambreaker uses his riot shield to absorb some of the hail of machinegun fire following them up, the rest plinking off or biting into his thick armor, as Blackjack flies above him for safety. On the comm....
Redline, this is Cambreaker and Blackjack, going stratospheric. Hope you're not too far!
The two watch as the ground rumbles below, the guard 'cons turning to look at the bunker in horror, a belch of smoke coming up the stairs and out the door. The whorl of energy indicating the space bridge transmission of the HTC's product, seems disrupted, and swirls orange and black, rather than the rich pink of energon.

Over Comms: Redline to Cambreaker. I'm not far, but we've got company up here! Our friend Destroyah showed up uninvited. Hang tight and we'll see what we can do!
Tense and breathing heavily, Redline grips the controls again and slams her hand down on the console, charging weapons as she swings around at high speed to pull up behind the enemy ship.
Sensor arrays targeted. Soon he won't even be able to see the planet in front of him.
Pressing down on the trigger, Redline watches another volley of white-hot energy shoot past her view screen, except this time in the opposite direction. The bolts streak through space, heading straight for the array. She knew it was overkill, but she wanted to be sure it did the job.

"Force fields up" Destoroyah commands as shots start sprinkling upon it.
"TorpedoFiringSolutionAndTargetDataLoadedLaunching." Overcast says and six large black torpedoes fire from the ships prow with a burst of smoke and they appear to fly in every direction at once as if the discharge had been random.
Alas to anyone who thought such things about overcasts intelligence. Three of the missile curve in there path and head towards there target the gunships engines while the other three lock onto the gunships bridge and start to close in.
"Prepare the close range laser and plasma cannons. Ready the capture claw" destoroyah yells and the other two decepticons work to obey his orders.
"Shields currently at 96% effectiveness. Primary fusion based weapons are now at 68% of total energy limit." Warstorm says "Torpedoes are being reloaded."

Redline! Take us down into the Atmosphere! Now. Dinobot help me man these turrets!
Rattrap brings the point defense turrets online and mans them along side Dinobot. Blots of energon fly from the gunship's turrets toward the incoming torpedoes. Four torpedoes are caught by point defense fire and explode harmlessly. 2 Torpedoes impact the shuttles shields. Reading the console in front of him, Rattrap shouts to Redline.
Shields down to 82%, get us into the atmosphere now!

Without responding, Redline veers down toward the swirling atmosphere, hoping they aren't coming in too steep.
The gunship cuts through the atmosphere cleanly, disappearing through the debris and other interference of the outer reaches of Earth. Glancing back at the shields, she notices the damage and dives deeper, knowing that the farther in she can get, the more completely invisible they will be to any attempts to find them on sensors.
On Comms: Cambreaker? Blackjack? What is your location? The gunship has been forced into the upper atmosphere for cover. We can come pick you up.
