Northeast States

States in this area include:Marland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

        The original thirteen colonies, this area has always been known as the spiritual background of the United States. Many large Metropolitan areas are located here including the nation capital Washington D.C., and probsbly the most weel known American city New York. These two cities are the most influential in international politica and house many visiting dignitaries including the United Nations. Come fall this area gets more than its fair share of tourists because of the beautiful changes the flora and fauna go through during this chilly time of year.

 <W>est leads to North-Central States.

Fort Maximus turns his optics downwards, "Over the vorns I have developed a simple theory. If I must enter combat, I have but one choice, to disable my opponent so that he may not press the fight. Then perhaps you can reason with them."

The loud rumbling sounds of jet engines can be heard from the distance. If it is human, Decepticon, or Autobot it is not yet known. A thin contrail can be spotted from way up there. As the shuttle comes down from orbit a shattering sonic boom fills the atmosphere.
 

Swiftpaw nods a bit at that. "Any conflict that can be avoided is good. Pity they can't be avoided more often."
 

Fort Maximus turns his optics skyward and watches for a long spell, "I wonder..."

Swiftpaw sighs a bit. "Sadly, there are amny out there that fail to listen to reason, even when they are down. But to disable is always the better option over the alternatives. Prehaps one day they'll finally learn..." He pauses, glancing up at the noise from above. "Now what could that be..."

Fort Maximus says, "Occasionally I find myself wondering why we leave a Decepticon alive to fight another day... and I realize that to do otherwise would make us no less despicable then them... sometimes it seems we are making no ground."

Swiftpaw says, "But if we were to simply destroy them, then we would become no better than what we fight against, and the reason for us to continue our opposition becomes moot. To let them live may seem self-defeating in the short term, but the ground we gain is not that can be measured by simply looking. If we disregard our own morals, what do we have left to fight for?"

The sound of the engines grows closer and closer until a large white human shuttle is spotted. It circles around the truckstop tightly as if looking for a good place to land. Or transform without causing damage.

A smile cracks the Architects face and Max turns to Swiftpaw, "Come, let us greet an old friend..." he moves further away towards the parkinglot as if to indicate for Skylynx to land there... it's basically empty, he then calls up to him, "Greetings Skylynx... it has been a long time..."

Sky Lynx transmits below, "It has been a long time indeed. I was able to pick up a transmission about the Decepticons mingling with the native population of this planet. Along with..Prime's death. I figured you could use my help." He transforms allowing for his two halves to merge. He lands in the big space of the parking lot with grace and ease. He cranes his neck down, "Such tight landing quarters if I do say so."
 
Fort Maximus emits, "We have nothing better." he approaches Skylynx smiling, "You are right... the Autobots have been in disarray since..." his good mood fades, "Since Prime left us..."

Swiftpaw mutters something to himself about despite his upgrade everyone around is still bigger than him, but keeps it to himself and follows like a good puppy... err Autobot. "You could say our position on this planet has changed greatly in recent events, yes.." The quiet good mood that was showing while discussing philosphical views with Max fades to his more usual somber tone.

Sky Lynx brings up a clawed foot to his chest, and he peers down at Swiftpaw, "Decepticons will tremble before the name Sky Lynx. They always have, and I believe my arrival will help tip things back in the favor of the Autobots. If not help boost moral to better levels than it ever has been before." He says to boost up his ego.

Fort Maximus shakes his head and pats Sky Lynx on the shoulder, near where his wings are, "You havn't changed at all."

Swiftpaw rolls his optics, but is nice enough to keep his comment about the parking lot being overcrowded in ego under his proverbial breath and to himself. "We can only hope," he comments out loud instead, in a bit of a neutrally dry tone.

Sky Lynx lifts his head up high above the other Autobots, and he places his foot down on the ground careful not to cause any damage, "Silly humans..They know we're here, but they cannot provide for us. And of course I have not changed. Why would I want to change something early as perfect as myself?"

Fort Maximus chuckles, "Indeed... the Humans are having difficulty accepting us, Sky Lynx. Understandably, they cannot seem to diffrentiate between Decepticon and Autobot, they fear us all equally."

Swiftpaw says, "It's a bias we've learned to live with, Max. Most of them have held such a view since the first days we stepped foot on this planet."

Ultra Magnus has arrived.

Ultra Magnus comes thundering down the highway to the conglomeration of other Autobots

Sky Lynx looks about the truckstop, and he ughs, "Such a drab place for such a wonderful creature such as myself to be at." He hmphs, and he lowers his head to get a better look at Swiftpaw, "And I'm sure if all of you were as wonderful as I was they would not have a fear of our race."

Swiftpaw gives Skylynx a narrowed look. More out of irratness for being talked down too (and not just in the size difference) than anything else. "They're scared of us because our war is destroying their planet. It was little to do wtih our personal status."

<Broadcast> Cyclonus says, "A frenzied reporter exclaims excitedly, "The Decepticons have begin to attack downtown Los Angeles, demolishing skyscrapers and vast expanses of the highway, death toll already in the hundreds.  The Army has been called in, but all worry that they cannot make it in time."

Fort Maximus shakes his head ruefully, he does his best not to pad the Ego, "So... news of Primes death has reached cybertron then? How are they-" his question breaks off, "Attack in Los Angeles? Smeg! We're on the wrong side of the country!"

Swiftpaw was going to say more, but stops, tapping a hand to the side of his head as his communications hardware picks up something. "Speaking of war destroying the planet, the nieghbors are up to their old tricks again..."

Sky Lynx looks at Swiftpaw and Fortress Maximus, "Then allow for me to take you there in style.." He transforms back into his space shuttle mode, and opens up his cargo bay doors.

Ultra Magnus says, "Do you have room enough for me as well Sky Lynx?"

Fort Maximus is only 25-30 feet tall in his premaster form, UM should fit fine, along with Swiftpaw, but then, there's always the Hovercraft.

Sky Lynx transmits from his external speakers, "You should be able to fit inside of me just fine Ultra Magnus."

Swiftpaw rolls his eyes a bit. "I still need to get rides from everyone." Not much of an objection, more of a simple stating of a fact. Sure, he could take the hovercraft back, but Lynx can presumablly fly faster.

Ultra Magnus doesn;t slow down and just drives right up the ramp. Till he parks and enjoys the ride

California - Pacific Coastline(#40RLnt)
 

This is the southernmost part of California. The climate is warm and nice, being close to the Pacific Ocean. The waters are cold but nice. The border into Baja Caja California and Mexico. Abandoned cars and trucks litter the once filled roadways, as the Autobots have destroyed most of the area.

Obvious exits:
 <W>est leads to Northeast Pacific.
 <U>p leads to Sky over Western U.S..
 <S>outh leads to Baja California.
 <E>ast leads to Southwestern States.
 <N>orth leads to Oregon and Washington.

Titan rears back onto her hind legs, letting out a roar, before she charges forward and gores a building on her diamond-tipped horns. The building's supports groan then collapse, sending the building to the ground in a cloud of dust and rubble.

The resounding sound of a sonic boom can be heard from miles as Sky Lynx rockets along towards Los
Angeles. He transmits back to the Autobots inside, "This maybe an unwise move to attack the Decepticons inside of the city. I am sure there are many humans still in the area."

Swiftpaw says, "You're rather we just leave them there and let them harm them by destroying the city around them instead?"

Cyclonus smiles with sardonic, mirthless appraisal of the Autobot transport approaching. "Come, Autobots, and dare to try and stop us!"

Fort Maximus says, "We will draw them away from the City... there are mountains not far that are relatively empty."

Ultra Magnus says, "It may be prudent to hold our fire till we are all outside the city. Try not to bring any of the humans to harm. Fort, set up a perimeter around the city. Sky Lynx your air support. Swiftpaw you are new to me so stay out of my way"

Titan slams her bulk into a radio tower, easily bending the metal and sending it to the ground with a satisfying crash.

Sky Lynx transmits, as he continues to rocket towards the city. He hmms, "Shall I let you boys out to play in the dirt? Or shall I try to lure them outside of the city?"

Swindle gives Cyclonus with a "Whadda you mean 'us,' Space Ace?" look, but doesn't say anything.

Fort Maximus emits, "Do a low flyby, I'll go out, the rest of you land near the outskirts, I'll see about driving them to you."

Swiftpaw growls softly under his breath as he's told to 'stay out of the way'. Sure, he's not a hardcore warrior like some people around here, but.. well, slag, he'll just do things his own way, like usual.

Fort Maximus glances at Ultra Magnus, "That sound agreeable, Magnus?"

Ultra Magnus would nod if he could "Good plan the rest of us will wait outside the city"

Cyclonus fires off a potshot into the sky. "Land, and try out strength."

Fort Maximus nods, "Pop the hatch Sky Lynx." he moves over to it, weapons extending from his body, he knows in his core that this will not be a chance to talk, this will have to be a fight, "I'm goin' out."

Sky Lynx transmits to Swiftpaw, "I think you would best come with me. Who knows what they could do..I may need the back-up.." He begins to desend, picking up even more speed, two white contrails can be seen from the city. Another sonic boom rocks the sky, and Sky Lynx calls out to the Decepticons, "Never fear! For I the great Sky Lynx is here!" He goes to do a low fly by, cargo bay doors opening up. Lynx for a big mech is rather nimble he pulls off a few tight manuvers to shake off the shots being fired at them.

Ultra Magnus says, "The resto of us drop with Fort but stay outside the city limits Autobots roll Out"

Fort Maximus has arrived.

Swindle lands, glad to be back on the ground. He raises an optic ridge at Sky Lynx's words. "..we're supposed to be *glad* he's here?" he mutters. "..I don' *think* so..."

Cyclonus insists of the Decepticons. "Form up ... we will not budge from the city's heart."

Ultra Magnus has arrived.

Titan glances towards Cyc then begins to stomp over towards him, leaving mass destruction in her path.
 

Scorponok has arrived.

Swiftpaw grunts a bit as he watches the other's depart. "It doesn't look like they're buying your insistance to follow us, Sky Lynx..."

Scorponok arrives in all his Scorp glory, here to cause chaos and havoc.

Swindle stands behind Cyclonus as a human song begins to run through his net. "...please Mr. Custer...'

Fort Maximus drops out of the Cargo Doors, repaired certainly, but is he at his prime? Quite possibly not. He lands with a crunch in the streets and stares over at the Decepticons, "You want to dance... then allow me to lead!" he takes the offensive, beginning to move towards the gathered Decepticons, intent on breaking their ranks.

Ultra Magnus drives right out the hatch. On the way he transforms and pulls his weapon and lands on the outside of the city "Hello Cyclonus, long time no see"

Cyclonus grins at the arrival of Scorponok. "Excellent. Join us in the city's heart ... We will destroy the Autobots."

Ultra Magnus transforms to his Robot mode.

Cyclonus looks dryly to Ultra. "Not long enough, you piece of slag."

Scorponok nods to Cyclonus. "What is the opposition so far" he tries to think of a good strategy. and if one is even needed.

Sky Lynx rockets pass the Decepticons, and he wouldn't mind being passenger free. He loops in the air making for a hard ride. He transmits to his passenger inside, "Then I suggest we try to lure them out still. Do try firing your weapon in their general direction. Careful not to hit or damage any more human buildings." He hears that words from Cyclonus, "Molten Decepticons is what I specialize in!" He transmits inside to Swiftpaw, "Oh, just go join the rest of them."

Ultra Magnus says, "I seem to be in one pices, unless you plan on trying to change that. Care to join me on the battlefield or aren't you taught the finer things in life at that little decepticon academy you morons are so proud of?"

Swiftpaw has arrived.

Fort Maximus's charge falters slightly as he see's the arrival of Scorponok. His direction changes to charge his longest standing enemy, the big scorpion himself, "The opposition, Scorponok, is right here."

Scorponok turns to see his arch rival before him. His optics flash a deep amber. "Ahh..Maximus. You
have come to face your destiny. How kind of you to save me the trouble of finding and destroying you.."

Cyclonus opens an electrical array under his wing and orders of the Decepticons, "Enough talk ... Open fire as you will, Decepticons!" he orders, leading with a salvo on Ultra Magnus.

Swiftpaw actually smirks for a moment at Sky Lynx, pulling out his magnetic blaster. "That's the best suggestion I've heard all cycle." Once Sky Lynx stops with all the fancy maunevurs for a moment, he leaps out as well, but instead of free-falling to the ground, shoots his grappling claw out of an arm to grab a building side and swing down to the street, Spiderman-style. "I've heard of urban violence, but this is rediculous."

Titan lowers her head, sharp horns ready for an attack, as she looks around for an Autobot to target...

Cyclonus is not a robot of many words, and unleashes a tendril of electricity to strike at Ultra Magnus.

Cyclonus hits Ultra Magnus with his Electricity attack.

Sky Lynx seperates his two halves, and the lynx bounds off in another direction. The bird begins to head off to find that Dinobabe. The lynx bounds from damage building to building looking for the same target as his other half. Sky Lynx calls, "Now, where would I find a suitable Decepticon target?"

Swindle takes cover behind a wrecked building as far away from Scorponok as he can get and takes aim at Swiftpaw.

Titan looks towards the two parts of Lynx, inhales, then bellows out a challenge towards him. However, she doesn't attack. Not yet.

Fort Maximus grunts, "You've said that before, Scorponok. I'm still waiting for you to back up your boasts." the distance closes quickly and he draws one fist back, aiming to slug Scorponok square in the Optical visor.

Swiftpaw flicks the saftey off his rifle, and peers around. "Now were did that other Con sneak off to..."

Fort Maximus hits Scorponok with his Punch attack.

Sky Lynx 's lynx half takes the incentive to pounce at Titan. Claws bared, but the petrodon itself comes to intercept Titan. His mouth begins to glow, and he gets ready to cook up the Dino thing. The Lynx half rumbles to get Titan's attention, "My you are an ugly thing aren't you?"

Scorponok takes the unexpected punch right in the optic. He..laughs. Weird reaciton to getting your visor dented in. "Maximus.. attacking first. I am impressed. Normally, from your ilk I would have expected at least a stomach-wrenching lecture about honor and the like. When you meet Primus, Maximus..make sure you tell him who sent you there." he snaps a claw at Maximus's face.
Swindle stays down behind his cover, his tan coloration allowing him to somewhat blend with the brick the rubble was originally made from. He waits for the right moment to strike, carefully gauging the distance between himself and his target.

Titan takes a few steps back, her tail-mace whipping around in the air behind her. "Titan wasn't built to look...nice," she rumbles. "Titan was built for security procedures and extensive battle."

Ultra Magnus gets thrown back by the power of the blast. He hits the ground hard and stand up slowly regaining his footing. He then clenches his face plate and without a word locks on a missile

Ultra Magnus misses Cyclonus with his Missile attack.

Cyclonus issues forth a bitter chuckle as the missile meant for him careens into a building instead, adding to the fiery distruction. "Bravo, Ultra Magnus! Turning Decepticon are we?" he inquires coldly, launching with his own missiles.

Sky Lynx's bird half opens it's mouth, and a burst of flame is emitted from it..Boy will this hurt if it strikes poor Titan. The Lynx half says, "And looking stupid is something else I'm sure you were built for."

Sky Lynx hits Titan with his Fire attack.
 
Swiftpaw snorts a bit again. "Well, fine, if you want to play hide and seek.." Shunting the blaster back to subspace, he switches forms. Swindle now has a rather vicious looking wolf on his trail. One with limited advanced detection abilities to boot. "I know you're around here. I can hear your feul pump beating..."

Scorponok hits Fort Maximus with his Claw attack.

Cyclonus hits Ultra Magnus with his Missile attack.

Swiftpaw transforms to its Wolf mode.
Swiftpaw dives forward, changing from robot to land on the ground as a large robotic wolf.

Titan stands her ground, letting out an angry snarl as the flames wash over her. While not too badly damaged, the fire does burn and singe her armor, and do a bit of internal damage as well. "Titan has the required amount of brainpower needed to function," she states, before whipping her tail for the bird's head.

Titan hits Sky Lynx with her Mace attack.

Swindle sees Swiftpaw switch forms and slowly begins to switch position, heading for fresh cover, maybe even to try and circle around behind the wolf. Swiftpaw is now tracking someone with several million years experience in avoiding those (usually teammates) who would like to do him grievious bodily injury.

Sky Lynx's armor is dinged! Dinged! He looks down at Titan, and he growls, "You dented my armor! My near perfect armor!" He twists his tail in the air, and he goes to bring the heavy thing down on Titan.

Sky Lynx hits Titan with his Axe attack.
 
Fort Maximus's face is grabbed by Scorponok's claw, the creaking sound of it is heard all around the area to those whom might listen. However, Max refuses to be cowed so easilly, reaching both arms to wrap around scorponok's midsection he attempts to remove the claw from his head and throw the Decepticon back, towards the outskirts of town...

Fort Maximus hits Scorponok with his Throw attack.

Titan twists and allows the axe to smack into her thicker neck-armor, just watching Lynx with her calm optics. "Titan does not care about your armor." She tenses, before charging forward, trying to slam him into the ground with her massive bulk.

Titan hits Sky Lynx with her Smash attack.

Ultra Magnuss armor takes the entire brunt of the attack, it drives him back, and almost fuses the armor in his left leg plate. He raises his arm and tries to grab the con in the air

Sky Lynx's bird half is pinned to the ground only leaving the feline half open to return the favor. The lynx bounds from it's position on the ground, and he goes to shred the armor that Sky has done the damage to. He says, "Well I do! And you did it again!"
Ultra Magnus hits Cyclonus with his Crush attack.

Sky Lynx hits Titan with his Shred attack.
 
Titan grunts as her armor is marred, but it holds, and she mentally lets out a sigh. Deciding that actions speak louder than words, she twists her neck around and snaps her fang-filled maw at the lynx.

Titan hits Sky Lynx with her Bite attack.

Cyclonus shudders as a Ultra Magnus's fingers find purchase on one of his wings, tearing at armour to dangerous effect. Nonetheless, he replies by attepting to ram himself into the Autobot at full velocity.

Unfortunately for Swindle, he's trying to elude someone who's lived his life searching for secrets and hunting the hidden. As the Combaticon starts to sneak by, the canine spins around towards him, optics glowing a moment and then strafing towards him with a quick volley of laser bursts as Swiftpaw turns. "ah ah ah, you're not sneaking away that easily."

Cyclonus hits Ultra Magnus with his Ram attack.

Swiftpaw hits Swindle with its Laser attack.

Scorponok is smashed backwards by his opponent, his claw releasing. however, this just gives him the opportunity to dig his toes into the ground, raising one leg towards his opponent's midsection. "you think you can get rid of me that easily?"

Scorponok hits Fort Maximus with his Kick attack.

Sky Lynx's eyes light up as his lynx half is swatted at like a fly. Mech fluid dribbles to the ground, the lynx growls ready to strike once again. But this just leaves Sky with the chance to roast some more internal mechanisms. His mouth lights up, and he then fires a wall of flame in Titan's direction, "I think you are making a grave mistake attacking these defenseless creatures. No matter how disgusting they maybe!"

Swindle whuffs as he takes the shots and just as quickly attempts to return the favor. After all, if he's close enough to be hit, he's close enough to hit back. "Sneakin' away?" he says as he aims his gyro gun at Swiftpaw. "Nahhh, just trying for a better shot."

Sky Lynx hits Titan with his Thermal attack.
 
Swindle misses Swiftpaw with his Gyro_gun attack.

Ultra Magnus get hits low and is flipped over the top of the mech to land on his back. He quickly rights himself and tries to track the mech as it banks back around. This time he takes no chances and relies on his hand weapon

Ultra Magnus hits Cyclonus with his Thermal attack.

Fort Maximus doubles over slightly at Scorponok's attack and shakes his head, "If it were that easy." he clenches his hands together while doubled over, and brings them up fiercely towards Scorponok's chin, "You'd have been gone a long time ago!" he hopes to feel a satisfying *thunk* and to send his opponent over backwards...

Fort Maximus hits Scorponok with his Smash attack.

Cyclonus is moving too fast to change direction and careens into the wall of flame, melting through armour and internal systems like a hot knife through butter. But the Decepticon has something of his own up his sleeve, and cuts loose with a salvo from a wing cannon.

Cyclonus hits Ultra Magnus with his Cannon attack.

Titan bellows loudly, obviously in pain as the inernal damage washes over her systems. Her optics narrow as she rears onto her hind legs, roaring at the top of her lungs, before slamming her front feet down in an attempt to crush the lynx into powder.

Scorponok is thrown backwards, landing on his back. This just gives him a chance to take both fists and try to thrust them towards his opponent's chest, to try to get the bigger mech off from atop him (hey. clean your mind!)

Scorponok hits Fort Maximus with his Smash attack.

Swiftpaw sidesteps the gyro-scrambling blast with the agility his form's namesake is known for. "if it's a better shot you're looking for, keep looking!" Taking a running start across the street, the robotic wolf leaps to get past Swindle's cover and pounce on him.

Swiftpaw hits Swindle with his Charge attack.

Sky Lynx's crush half is litterally made into a pancake. But the bird half is not to happy at the sound of the gun. His mouth still glowing with the internal flames of hades. He lets the lynx half try to bound back towards him. He then lets a long bellow of flame towards the two Decepticons the one that is harming his other half. The other his comrade in arms.

Sky Lynx hits Titan with his Flamethrower attack.
Sky Lynx hits Cyclonus with his Flamethrower attack.
 
Fort Maximus staggers away, grunting as he falls to the ground, he rubs his chest which has taken a number of blows already. he gets up and sneers at Scorponok, the time for words has passed. He lowers his shoulder and charges in on the Decepticon whom he has fought time and again for thousands of vorns already, each time one or the other has lost... and each time the loser has come back for more... the epic battle of the Yin and the Yang... it seems almost as if one cannot live without the other...

Fort Maximus hits Scorponok with his Crush attack.

Swindle prefers doing his fighting with guns, but that doesn't mean he can't throw it down with the best of them. While Swiftpaw is on top of him, he kicks out with both feet, trying to throw the mechawolf off.
Swindle hits Swiftpaw with his Kick attack.

Titan growls as the flames roast her armor, but it holds, even as she transforms into her robot mode. "Titan SMASH!" she cries out, aiming a fist for the bird's face. Being subtle was never oen of her better points.

Titan transforms to her Robot mode.

The massive Decepticon comes to a halt, her form starting to collapse and reform itself into a whole new shape. After a few minutes Titan stands before you in her robot mode.

Titan misses Sky Lynx with her Punch attack.

Ultra Magnus grunts loudly and falls to one knee as the cannon hits him in the torso. He covers himself with his arms and stays there leaking large pools of energon form the large hole that has just been blasted in his armor. He isn't one to surrender however and so he offers up a ballistic missile from one of his shoulders

Ultra Magnus hits Cyclonus with his Ballistic attack.

Sky Lynx cranes his neck away from Titan's fist, and lunges his beak towards her to take a big hold of her arm. His tail still waving in the air. He hmphs, "Now that's more like it."

Sky Lynx hits Titan with his Bite attack.
 
Swiftpaw oomphs as he's kicked in the gut, and takes a short flight to land on the pavement a few feet away. "Oorf... Well, I'll take a kick to the gut to a boot to the head any day." Righting himself, he switchs back to robot mode, and reachs back to pull out his blaster. At the same time he swings his other arm towards the Combaticon, his clawed whip launching from his arm as he does. "Bad Con, time for your whipping!"

Swiftpaw transforms to his Robot mode.
The robotic wolf flips backwards, standing up into a sleek Autobot soldier.

Swiftpaw hits Swindle with his Whip attack.

Titan hmphs as the bird clamps down on her arm, wrending the armor slightly. "Titan suggests you refrain from gnawing on her. Titan is in no way full of wholesome nutrients." She then attempts to fling him into a nearby building.

Cyclonus is hardly encouraged by the missile which slams into his broadside, a huge smoldering hole gaping from his armour. He scowls in anger and returns the favour with another blast from his cannon.

Cyclonus hits Ultra Magnus with his Cannon attack.
Ultra Magnus is damaged severely and disabled, no longer able to fight.

Scorponok is knocked back, the attack knocked out his motor relays. Odd, the battle was over this quickly.

Sky Lynx's bird half is tossed, but it gives him time to merge with the other half. He turns to look at Cyclonus. He's quiet displeased..He rears his head back, flames still smoldering. His tail swaying in the air. He growls at Cyclonus, "Grave mistake Decepticon." He looks at Titan, "As for you!" He brings up his foot, and goes to bring it down on her. To make a Titan soda can, "You can bugger off."

You transform to your Sky-Lynx mode.
Sky Lynx hits Titan with his Super_crush attack.

Swindle howls as he's whipped and fires not entirely blindly at Swiftpaw with his Scatter_blaster as he transforms and beats feet out of the area. Scorponok's down, Cyclonus is busy with his own problems and Titan...well, he doesn't know much about Titan and right now doesn't care. All things considered, he'd rather be in Vegas.

Swindle hits Swiftpaw with his Scatter_blaster attack.

Swindle scans Swiftpaw.

Swindle scans Swindle.

Titan is smashed, her systems snapping like peanut brittle, armor giving way to the intense pressure caused by Lynx's attack. While she would like to retreat, she has other orders. So, she pulls out her horn sword and prepares to go to town!

Cyclonus has connected.

Fort Maximus stands over Scorponok and stares down at him, "Too easy... must have a loose wire." he then looks up to see Ultra Magnus fall and gets a grim look on his face, "There's plenty left to do though..." the turrets mounted in his shoulders extend and begin targetting Cyclonus, not going to make the same mistake twice.

Fort Maximus hits Cyclonus with his Heavy_laser attack.

Sky Lynx's thick armor is knicked, and she cut his knees. He looks down at Titan, and he brings foot up to punt her across town, "When I said scram. I meant it..You foul creature. I have had enough of your kind harming these hapless creatures."

Sky Lynx hits Titan with his Throw attack.
 
Cyclonus wavers under the onslaught from Fort Maximus, and returns with the same in kind.

Cyclonus hits Fort Maximus with his Heavy_laser attack.

Titan goes slamming into a building, causing it to go crash-boom to the ground, throwing her off-balance for a moment. "..ow." That's probably the first 'human' thing she's said all day. Growling, she narrows her optics and fires off a blast from her laser pistol.

Titan misses Sky Lynx with her Heavy_laser attack.

Swiftpaw yowls as he takes another hit, the scatter blaster knocking him on his aft from the impact as it blows a nice big hole in his chest armor. "Okay, that stung.." Propping himself up with one arm, he finishes pulling out his blaster, but stops as he sees the jeep zipping off. Grunting a bit, he lowers it, and rubs his head. Well, as long as the guy is leaving, there's bigger things to worry about.

Fort Maximus's body is rocked backwards as the blasts catch him in the torso and shoulder, he grunts darkly and glares at Cyclonus, "Round two it seems, eh Decepticon?" the peace loving side of Fort Max is in recession for the moment, he knows this is a battle he has to fight, thus... he will fight it. Stepping away from Scorponok smaller turrets swing in to target Cyclonus, the two on his legs included, they unload another barrage towards the Decepticon.

Fort Maximus hits Cyclonus with his Laser attack.

Swindle heads east.
Swindle has left.

Sky Lynx ducks his large head to the ground as Titan fires her blaster in his direction. He growls at Titan, his mouth glowing again..He fires off a seering hot ball of fire in her general direction. He says, "And the kick is good..Another good one for the good guys."

Sky Lynx hits Titan with his Fire attack.
 
Titan gets blasted by the fire, which fuses a good majority of her armor to her, and cracking it in other places. Rising to her feet, mech-fluid quickly runs from the numerous wounds covering her large frame. But she's not done yet. Sparks fly off of her onto the ground as she closes her one optic, which is shattered and useless, before she tries to smash Lynx's face in with her mace.

Sparks flying from his fried internal systems, Cyclonus lashes out with an amber beam of laser.

Titan misses Sky Lynx with her Mace attack.

Cyclonus hits Fort Maximus with his Oxidating_laser attack.

Swiftpaw idly stuffs a few spilt internals back into his chest, and looks to see how the toher Bots are doing.

Fort Maximus rocks backwards heavilly under the assault, taking two steps back, but holding his feet, he glares at Cyclonus and reaches over his shoulder, pulling a large and well used appearing rifle from over his shoulder, the barrel easilly the size of Megatrons cannon, possibly larger... while it may not be backed by an antimatter generator, you know it's not fun, he levels the Photon Cannon on Cyclonus and takes a gunman's stance, "This battle." his thumb flicks a switch, taking the rifle off of safety, "Is over, you've lost. Gather your fallen and get lost. You get one warning."

Titan quickly raises an arm, allowing the Bot to gnaw on the armor there, while wincing in pain. oO(Titan...hates...this.)Oo Her optic sparks as she pulls out her cannon and aims it for Lynx's chest. "Titan must...end this," she rasps, before pulling the trigger.

Titan misses Sky Lynx with her Ion_discs attack.

Sky Lynx leaps into the air as Titan fires off those disks at him. He comes back down, and maybe on Titan..Nope. He just whips his tail in the air again to smack Titan with it hard. He says, "No. It's over for you Decepticons. I suggest you follow Fortress Maximus' merciful offer."
