* Snarl goes to the tank, looks inside *
" ME SNARL WONDER WHAT THIS BUTTON DO "
* Presses a button inside the tank *

Hey, hey watch it there you big palooka. I still haven't quite figured out what all Megatron put into this thing. For all I know there might be a self-destruct button or something. Fortunately you only hit the air conditioning button, but why don't you get away from her and not push any more buttons.

Blackjack shooed the dinobot away from his tank and leaned on it trying to look cool, but also so that he could stop any further attempts by curious Autobots to play with it.

Rattrap steps forward to admire the tank and introduce himself to the unfamiliar Autobot.

Blackjack, its a good to see another 'bot on our side. The name's Rattrap. That's a pretty sweet toy you got there. I look forward to seeing that baby smash some 'cons.

Sideways steps out of the shadows and speaks.

Anybody seen Ultra Magnus?

* Snarl turns to face Sideways *
" ME SNARL NOT SEE ULTRA MAGNUS FOR LONG TIME "
* Snarl sees Dinobot, transforms to dino mode and approaches *
* YOU LEADER GRIMLOCK ? "

Cambreaker turns to Sideways, a slightly less grim look on his face, fading away to a frown

Afraid no one's seen Magnus for a couple dozen megacycles. Why do you ask?

Dinobot · Post by **Dinobot** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 4:15 pm

Dinobot looks at snarl in bewilderment. Grimlock? Nope, im from the future. My name is just Dinobot. You must be one of the original dinobots from the past. I am not leader now, but if the situation were to arise, I would be fitting for it. Dinobot says with a sly grin.

Arcee · Post by **Arcee** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 9:37 pm

With most of the others distracted by Blackjack's tank outside, and another group out on a run to Tagon, the Autobots are momentarily distracted from Cambreaker's previous order to detain Rodimus and Arcee. Having transmitted the information Megatron had instructed them to collect, and with the Decepticons already on their way, it was time to extinguish the clones' weakening bodies. Arcee finds her way back to Rodimus' office.

Lord Megatron has commanded that we initiate our self-destruct sequence. We'd best get into position.

With that, the two clones make their way to the places they can do the most damage--Arcee stands in front of the security computer; Rodimus beside the main command console.

Self-destruct in three ... two ... one ...

*BOOM*

The two computers are blasted, their monitors shattering and intel destroyed as the clone Rodimus and Arcee detonate, then implode into themselves, leaving no trace of their bodies...

Sideways · Post by **Sideways** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 10:54 pm

Inside Sideways' lab, alarm klaxons blare. He turns to look at the monitor and notices that the security and main console are knocked offline. Sideways groans and hooks himself up to his remote terminal. His physical body goes offline as he takes command of Iacon's systems. His voice booms over Iacon's internal comms.

Heads up Autobots, Something's amiss here. Kup, Cambreaker, come to my lab on the double. There's something I need to show you.

With that, the mysterious Transformer in the stasis pod awakens and the pod opens, and he steps out. He looks around to try and familiarize himself with his surroundings. As he is doing that, Sideways appears on the monitor and catches our new guy off guard.

I'm glad you came to your senses, Rev. The Autobots will need your help as much as you can offer. For now, I want you to guard this room with your life. Let nobody pass into this room, except Kup and Cambreaker, for now. I have work to do.

Rev nods and stretches his limbs, then speaks.

It's been a long time, Sideways. I'm too old for this. I need to get out and burn rubber man! I've got such a nice bod and nowhere to use it!

Dinobot · Post by **Dinobot** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 11:09 pm

Something's wrong! Dinobot shouts out to everyone outside to get to their battlestations. There was an explosion inside of Iacon. How can that be Dinobot wonders. At once all the autobots start scrambling to wherever it is that Cambreaker posted them to. Rat, its you and I together on this one. You ready for some pred...I mean decepticon pounding?

Rattrap · Post by **Rattrap** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 11:19 pm

Rattrap unholsters his gun at the sound of the explosion and moves towards where Dinobot is standing.

Lets slag some 'cons lizard lips. We'll show 'em how Maximals fight.

* Snarl turns around at the sound of the explosion almost hitting rattrap with his tail *
" ME SNARL TAKE ORDERS FROM YOU DINOBOT "

Post by **Time Traveller** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 10:52 am

Cambreaker springs into a battle ready stance, extending what remaining sensors and comms equipment still work after his recent injury, not having had time for a CR chamber to fine-tune him.

Maximals, snarl, get to the command room. Blackjack, with our main console down, we have no sensor control. Light up the target-tracking radar and anything else you've got on that new toy of yours. I'm going to go to Sideways and see what's up, and see if he can't get into the defense mainframe to maintain shields and auto-weapons. If not, we're slagged.

He turns at last to Minerva with a sad and apologetic look, and speaks softly

Minerva... I need to to go get our shuttle. Bring it to the southwest gate and prepare to load up. If you have time, grab the datatracks out of the storage shed here and load them up, and anything else you think would be important or of use. Not too much... we'll be standing-room only as it is. Call the Aetherspite, have Double Clutch get her in high orbit, with the transwarp cell warm.

He sighs, hanging his head a bit, then looks around to the others stern-faced again

Well, get to it!

He transforms and burns rubber to Sideways' lab.

*Inside the Lab*

The supercomputer will keep Iacon protected temporarily. It's only a matter of time before a full scale attack. Rev, prepare the lab for storage, and set all systems to protect mode. I'm going to do a full backup of the data stored.

Sideways' physical body comes back online and he sets the lab on automated defense mode. As he is doing that, Cambreaker enters the lab.

Cambreaker, glad you could make it. My supercomputer has taken control of the functions we have lost. Iacon's defenses are up and running, and luckily nothing was lost. The main console is inoperable. and I'm working on setting up a new link to the central database. The security cameras picked this up before they went offline. If that wasn't Rodimus and Arcee, then who where they?

Post by **Time Traveller** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 11:32 am

Cambreaker looks on in horror as the blurry pink and orange forms run into the command room and implode themselves next to the consoles, then rewind, and then again and again...

I don't know. There's too much with them I don't understand right now, but I'll bet we can blame it on the decepticons. I'm not sure where the real Rodimus and Arcee, but we'll have to figure a way to find and rescue them as soon as we can. Right now, too many other bots are in danger. Get all the junk you need from here and prepare to evacuate.

Cambreaker turns to leave and notices the big 'bot guarding the room from a dark corner.

Uh... Sideways.... who the pit is that?

Sideways · Post by **Sideways** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 11:45 am

His name's Rev. He's an Autobot I found near death a long time ago. He's been in a stasis chamber until he had the energy to be active.

Post by **Minerva** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 11:50 am

Minerva watches Cambreaker as he leaves, worried, the magnitude of the situation dawning on her.

No time to be panicking, she thinks to herself, and runs off to the storage shed to quickly gather the said items and a few more that she thinks might come in handy before heading to the shuttle, preparing for their departure.

Post by **Time Traveller** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 1:00 pm

Ah. Well met, Rev. You look vaguely familiar... Nevertheless, prepare to haul out. I'm sorry, but I'd rather lose Iacon than one of you... my friends. Thanks for keeping me informed Sideways. As soon as I call you to pull out, I want you to come, and leave the auto-defenses. No heroics.

Cambreaker transforms and makes way for the gates, seeing Minerva gathering up some small supplies and data.

Minerva! Minerva... Thanks for your willingness to get the shuttle. Here, I want you to take this....

He hands her his automatic rifle and his ranged targeting chip.

Just in case you're spotted. You know how it works...

She looks shaken, and opens her mouth as if to object

We'll all make it out of here alive. I promise.... Be careful out there.... I'll see you in a few breems...

He hesitates a moment, trying to give her a feeling of security, if not to get one himself. He finally urges her on, and transforms to head back to the gate, just as he starts picking up a distant inbound on his built in sensors.

Rattrap · Post by **Rattrap** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 1:31 pm

Rattrap enters Iacon's Command Center with Snarl and Dinobot. Little remains of the main consoles and the walls are coated some kind of with pink and orange goo.

Slag, is there anything still operational? I don't even know how half of these antiques work.

Rattrap pushes a few buttons on a dead console with no result.

Any luck Dinobot?

Grimlock · Post by **Grimlock** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 1:40 pm

* Snarl goes to the main computer *
" ME SNARL SAY COMPUTER BROKEN "
* Goes to the goo on the walls *
" ME WONDER WHAT GUNGE IS "
* transforms to robot mode, rips a handfull of the wall and throws it towards Dinobot *
" YOU DINOBOT LEADER TELL SNARL WHAT THIS IS "
