Insecticon Initiation





= The Next Steps (posted by Deathsaurus) =
As most of you know, we have new warriors in our ranks, as Cyclonus has in some manner brought his group of Insecticons to life. They will need to be properly initiated into our ranks, to be given a perspective and context of the cause they fight for, to be allowed the chance to declare their loyalty and be recognized as members of our army. We will hold a formal initiation for them in the next days, in a location that symbolizes our triumph over our enemies. Coordinates will be forthcoming. I expect all Decepticons to attend this official event.


= Insecticon Initiation (posted by Deathsaurus) =
<The screen shows a barren, jagged mountain range as seen from the air, and slowly pans closer to reveal a few stunted patches of coniferous forest clinging to a sheltered mountainside here and there as we zero in on the rim of a volcano. Drawing closer and peering into the cauldron of its crater, it's apparent that the remnant of some alien metal structure is forming a precarious floor to the crater bottom. Some might recognize the orange-gold metal and buckled curve of the plating as the hull of an old Autobot ship that crashed at the site 4 million years ago; some might not. The image remains on the highly damaged structure, and a voice-over begins, clearly recognizable as Deathsaurus' voice.> Here, Decepticons, is where we will hold the initiation ceremony that will formally welcome our new warriors into our ranks. I have examined this site personally, and find it suitable for a number of reasons, which I will share with you when the time is right. All Decepticons are to report to these coordinates <a set of geographic coordinates flashes across the bottom of the screen> tomorrow evening at the appointed time.


Volcanic Crater

Since the mountain top has been sheared away by a volcanic blast, the circular inner crater is open to the sky. An expanse of buckled, orange-gold metal forms a floor of sorts within the heart of the mountain, recognizable as an alien structure, though not necessarily as a spaceship any longer. The upper section of the hull is collapsed onto the lower decks and torn through with jagged structural support beams that line the inner crater like the remnants of a giant ribcage. Where once passages led deeper into the ship and perhaps toward an underground section of the old base, these corridores are now either crushed, or filled in with cooled lava. Along the edges of the metal, the infernal red glow of magma pushing up toward the surface pulses just beneath the cracked crust, the pressure occasionally shifting the floor with a groan of protest. The metal surface is hot in many places, and a noticable heat radiates from the surrounding rocks. The overall effect is that of a huge natural amphitheater, an arena of desolation and destruction.

<Decepticon> Deathsaurus says, "<faint crackle of static as though there's some geomagnetic interference> Decepticons, the appointed time has come. Cyclonus, bring your charges to the location I have selected (a subliminal databurst giving coordinates: Northwestern America, Oregon Mountains, Volcanic Crater). You may ride in the dropship with the others, or fly of your own accord. I expect all Decepticons to converge on my location shortly."

Purple Fighter arrives from the exterior rim of the crater.

Chopshop arrives from the exterior rim of the crater.

Chopshop hovers closly to Cycllonus, seeming to not allow him from his sight

Wings retract slightly, as Cyclonus unfolds into his menacing robot mode.

Deathsaurus waits quietly in the center of the crater far below, his attention on the sky as the first Decepticons arrive.

Cyclonus lands and looks around. He glances at Chopshop and nods appreciably. He turns and moves towards Deathsaurus. Nodding once to the appearent supreme commander of the Decepticon forces in this area. "The Insecticons are on thier way."

Chopshop lands on the ground and walks across the ground in a semi-destrubing looking fashion that many insects seem to employ. He looks up at Deathsaurus in the distance and movies with Cyclonus towards him, no visable emotions on his face.

Deathsaurus glances toward Chopshop, evaluating him with an imperious sweep of the optics, then nods to Cyclonus. "Good."

Mecha-Beetle arrives from the exterior rim of the crater.

Chopshop gives a look at Cyclonus, that could be interpeted as a questioning look, if one knew the mannerisms of the insecticons in their insect modes. He still have very little clue of what is happening, although he doens't seem to want to protray this to others

Vampire Monster arrives from the exterior rim of the crater.

Vampire Monster alights in the shadows of the crater rim, crouching gargoyle like to survey the scene

Mecha-Beetle drops in belatedly beside Cyclonus and transforms...

Barrage assumes his robot form.

Cyclonus looks to Chopshop while he gestures to those around him. "These are the Decepticon forces thus far. Since your recent...revival Deathsaurus our current leader wishes to have you swaer fealty to him." Anyone who knows Cyc well can tell that he is doing this dog and pony show with a certain amount of reluctance.

Deathsaurus simply stands quietly, his arms folded across his chest and his wings folded back, his expression neutral and watchful as he mentally checks off the arrivals as they appear.

Decepticon Dropship - Sky Stalker arrives from the exterior rim of the crater.

Chopshop stands at attention, looking Deathsaurus over with his optics. He waits for Cyclonus to give more direction to the way this meeting should go

Decepticon Dropship - Sky Stalker descends into the crater with a howl of thrusters, ramp lowering to drop off the passengers.

Barrage is fully aware of Cyclonus' thoughts in the matter, and is perfectly willing to go along just as a proper soldier should.

Barrage straightens slightly as he optics Deathsaurus curiously...

Nightbird disembarks from the drop ship, moving with a quiet grace.

Deathsaurus watches calmly, immobile, as the dropship touches down. The last rays of the sunset paint the upper rim of the crater a fiery red, fiery like the Decepticon commander's optics, like the superheated magma that pulses at the edges of this chosen arena.

Barrage leans over and whispers something to Cyclonus.

Hellbat drops from the ship and stands cautiously for a moment, peering at the others...he jumps straight up, dropping down to land just behjind the other Breastforce troops.

Cyclonus strides towards Deathsaurus, motioning for the other Insecticons to follow siut behind him. His step is firm crisp, powerful almost angry as he moves forward.

Deathsaurus tilts his head very slightly, almost an inquiry, as he watches Cyclonus approach, but otherwise makes no move, says no word. He is seemingly biding his time, counting the moments on some chronometer of his own.

Chopshop follows carfully, standing erect and as noble as he can. Although his face remains immobile, his optics scan the area. Always searching for something...anything

Barrage follows Cyclonus, shoulders back and optics burning malevolently... he doesn't like much of anyone, and it shows.

Cyclonus walks up to Desz, but maintains a respectable distance. He nods his head to one who is command. "The Insecticons have arrived. What are your orders." His tone is hard, cold and yet kept at respectful tones. His optics on the other hands search Desz's face for something...

Metro-Bomb parks his ship on the edge of the crater and clambers down the slope to the assembly area

Deathsaurus looks around, then, and his gaze lingers for a moment on each of the individuals gathered. "Is this all of my vaunted warriors who could tear themselves away from their duties for this occasion?" he muses, seeming thoughtful for a moment, before re- focusing on the matter at hand. "So be it. Cyclonus..."

Vampire Monster waits till the last rays of sun have gone, then steps from the shelter of the crater rim, striding down to the others.

Nightbird watches the exchange without expression, absently rolling a shuriken back and forth over the back of her hand.

Deathsaurus says, "You, as the creator of these Insecticons, should be the one to introduce them to us. If they are to be new members of our army, they must be recognized as such."

Cyclonus nods once and performs a military about face. He steps back one step and gestures proudly twards the gathered Insecticons. These are the new forces that have been added to the empire. "Barrage!" He gestures to Barrage. "Warrior and gunner he makes an excellent soldier..."

Barrage steps forward, and bows low to Deathsaurus, "I am also highly skilled in weapon creation."

Cyclonus gestures next twards Chopshop, "Chopshop, materials aquisition. If you need something he is the Insecticon to call upon!"

Chopshop nods to Deathsaurus "you are...differant than the Commanders I rember. But i see a fire in you that serves our empire well

Chopshop steps back, his face blank, but smiles inside

Metro-Bomb folds his arms and watches, trying to look tough despite being only knee high to the next shortest

Deathsaurus watches quietly, seeming to evaluate the Insecticons as Cyclonus introduces them. It's truly impossible to tell whether his gaze is approving, or disapproving, or something else entirely, but it is clear he's paying very close attention.

Vampire Monster stands on the perifery of the gathering, watching the insecticons intently

Cyclonus turns to look at Ransack, "Ransack, another powerful soldier who is welcome amongst the ranks of the Insecticons."

Sabre Brain arrives from the exterior rim of the crater.

Sabre:

This large robot form stands tall and proudly displays the badge of the Autobots on his chest on white back ground. The rest of his chest is dark blue and seems capable of strength and speed. His white arms end in grey fists. On his left arm is a large red shield that extends above and bellow his arm. His white upper legs end in red, armoured lower legs and feet, again they seem capable of strength and speed. His face is white and humanoid, with deep blue optics that have an almost unnerving depth to them. His face is surrounded by a dark blue helm that matches his chest in colour. This is the form of the Autobot Leader, Sabre, and you know that the Star Rocket can not be far away...

Sabre Brain peeks in from the outer rim of the mountain, his small form nearly invisible to the naked eye.

Ransack steps foward proudly. Dipping his head once, saying nothing. he steps back..his steps full of power and malice.

Chopshop watches the other Insecticons make their introduction with great interest, his face still calm, poker like

Dotcom stands near the back of the insect crowd, munching on a piece of metal, and awaiting her turn.

Dotcom:
A femme with red, white, and black markings.

Mayhem Thrall Troops arrives from the exterior rim of the crater.

Cyclonus gestures lastly twards Dotcom in the back. "Dotcom! communications and warrior, she provides many needed services for our cause!"

Carnivac arrives from the exterior rim of the crater.

Carnivac pads out of the troops to take his place at thier head, transforming as he comes

Cyclonus glances over at Carnivac but says nothing as he watches the Insecticons with pride.

Dotcom hides the piece of metal, and steps forward, bowing her head respectfully. o O(I don't trust all these strangers...) But she doesn't make her distrust known. She returns to her place.

Carnivac watches the insects get introduced with a cold, hard smile. His optic visor reflects the ruddly light from the lava pit, doing little to hide his dislike of the newly revived unit

Cyclonus gestures one last time as if to show one more but instead turns to stand infront of the Insecticons, protectivly and fatherly. "Venom, my Insecticon subcammander is guarding the base, and so cannot be here. He will abide by the rules set down here today as well." He then bows to Desz awaiting his will. His arms are folded behind his back, his figure like graven stone.

Deathsaurus's gaze flickers ever-so-briefly toward Carnivac, then returns to the Insecticon group. He nods, then, and says, "A well-performed introduction." He takes a step forward, bringing himself more clearly into the center of the gathering, and continues, "I am sure they will be worthy additions to our ranks. But before they pledge their loyalty, they should know what they are pledging to. They should be aware of who their enemies are, and why we fight them." He looks around the ruined ship, the darkness of night having descended totally now, but the magma rim around their staging ground giving off an eerie glow that outlines Deathsaurus' wings, and the internal light from his optics gleams steadily.

Cyclonus looks up at Desz but says nothing as he awaits his will. Behind his back his fingers clench into fists as he feels aprehensive about something....

Nightbird shifts into a slightly different position, as if eager to hear what Deathsaurus will say.

Dotcom notes Carnivac's glance out of the corner of her optic. o O(Still sore because Mayhem needed our help against the Autobots twice now I see...)

Barrage's own manner remains stiff, but he's curious, listening carefully.

Carnivac would get mad at the complete lie but luckily can't read minds

Deathsaurus moves into a search pattern, passing between the assembled troops, scanning the metal litter of the ground until he comes upon what he's looking for. With a lightning-quick motion he rips a jagged piece of metal from the ground, shearing it as though it were tinfoil and holding aloft the remaining piece -- a crumpled, partially-shredded panel with the clear stamp of a red Autobot symbol.

Hellbat looks up, watching his leader's display.

Deathsaurus says, "For those who don't know," he continues, and he is clearly addressing the older warriors as well as the new arrivals, "this site was once the inhabited base of a respected Autobot commander. One would assume that they respected their leaders, at least, though there is nothing about them to respect." He smiles coldly, then becomes intense and serious again as he goes on, continuing to move majestically back toward the center of the gathering, to retain his warriors' attention.

Cyclonus watches Desz without moving his head, only changing the angle of his optic sensor. His fists unclench as he forces himself to relax.

Chopshop looks with interst, and curses for having not noticed the red symbol before. He should have noticed soemthing unusual, it being nessisary for his craft. He keeps his optics on Deathsaurus, however, trying to judge what will happen next.

Carnivac hears some muttered comments from his troops about the Insecticons getting in thier way, stealing from thier terretory... He glares round at them with a silent snarl and they fall quiet.

Deathsaurus says, "I chose this place to be the site of initiation for our new troops. Look around you. It is destroyed, demolished, beyond all repair and use. Just as we now stand in the ashes of our enemies, so we will crush the remaining Autobots beneath us and lay claim to the stars!"

Barrage has seen the symbol before, it seems to be burned deep into his memory as a target of total and utter hatred, darker and deeper then anything else he feels.

Carnivac's attention is regained by Deathsaurus as he strides back to the centre.

Chopshop wishes he knew where this was going

Nightbird's optics sparkle with emotion at Deathsaurus' words, but what that emotion is is not clear.

Cyclonus's optics watch Deszauras, searching his face for signs of something...

JauGar arrives from the exterior rim of the crater.

Dotcom already knew the Autobots were the enemy. So what? But she doesn't voice her annoyance. She's not too happy about being here instead of gathering resources.

Deathsaurus lowers the symbol a bit, and his attention re-centers on the Insecticons, and by extension on Cyclonus. "But that does not tell our new arrivals why we fight these hated beings. So I will explain. And remember well what you hear this night, because your lives, your future, your very freedom will depend upon it."

Deathsaurus says, "Your choice in life is to conquor, or be conquored. To rule, or be ruled. Should the Autobots win this struggle, should they wish to force their perverted worldview upon us, then you will be slaves forever after, a disgrace to every proud warrior who fell before you in order to give you this chance at the future."

Cyclonus watches Desz, his face hardening as if to hide what ever emotions are in turmoil inside him. .oO(How can I trust this new commander. He sounds like all the rest. Loud speaking, hard charging, liking the sound of his own voice....)

Barrage listens quietly, and patiently.

Moonjet arrives from the exterior rim of the crater.

Deathsaurus says, "Never forget what they will do to you, given the chance. What they will do to all of us, to our destiny as rightful rulers. There is no mercy for them, no forgiveness, no quarter. Turn you back on them, and they will destroy you. Turn your back on your comrades, and the Autobots will cut you down individually. We stand together, and we will be victorious. Again, look around you. Our enemies will share this fate."

Dotcom o O(Does he ever shut up? This is a waste of time to me... all talk and no action...)

Chopshop has heard the same in the faint memories of a past life. He sences Cyclonus' feelings and nods to himself, a subtle gesture. The only sign of his current emotion is his right hand, which seesm to be fidgiting.

Deathsaurus tosses the jagged metal piece with the Autobot symbol into the air, and draws his cannon - another almost impossibly lightning-quick motion - and blasts it into atoms with a searing bright burst of light that explodes over the heads of the assembled.

Sabre Brain blinks his optics at the explosions . o O (What meaningless propaganda )

Hellbat seems impressed tho and steps foward to Deathsaurus side, raising his spear in the air, "Crush the Autobots! Hail Lord Deathsaurus!"

Dotcom o O(Yes, we know you can blow stuff up, so can anyone else... how boring.)

Deathsaurus turns and glares around at his troops as faint glowing ash rains down gently around him. "And never forget -- our cause is a united one. I will give you victory, but I must rely on you to give yourselves to me, with complete dedication. There is no holding back. When the enemy lies destroyed at our feet, the galaxy is ours for the taking."

JauGar creeps up unannounced and joins in around his Decepticon comrades.

Carnivac folds his arms over his chest but hhmmms and smiles at the mention of destructed enemies and conquered galaxies, obviously liking the sound of that.

Deathsaurus lowers his weapon, apparently done with his current inspirational tirade, and says to the Insecticons, a quiet demand, "Now. Declare yourselves to me, your loyalty to the cause, and its leader."

Venom arrives from the exterior rim of the crater.

Hellbat hmmps as the lack of response to his enthusiastic spear waving makes it looks even more insencere. He steps back out of the way incase his toadying anoys Deathsaurus.

Barrage steps forth and drops to one knee before Deathsaurus, bowing his head, he bites out in his clipped voice, "I pledge my undying fealty to the cause and to you, Lord Deathsaurus-us..."

Chopshop looks to Deathsaurus and then back at Cyclonus. Knowing what is needed here he steps forward and kneels "I swear to the Decepticon cause, to the Empire and to the leader of said cause". His voice is perfect, his expression seamless, seemingly deeply sincere.

Dotcom kneels with the others, and repeats the words, trying to seem enthusiastic... "I swear my loyalty to the Decepticons and the Decepticon cause, and their leader."

Deathsaurus puts away his weapon and folds his arms and regards them, as though weighing their nuances and body language, the tone of their words more so than the words themselves. A faint smile passes across his face, more in response to his own internal musings than the external events. He emphasizes, "And just remember, I am the only leader who can offer you the stars. Where others have failed to carry on Megatron's legacy, I will succeed."

Hover Hover Hover lower and lower. Venom switches his anti-grav unit off and slams against the ground. He stands there arms crossed, and dome head not allowing him to betray any signs of emotion. Venom emits a thoughtful hmmm and finally emits, "Apologies for missing the... get together - together" he states just as the bugbots begin swearing loyalty. The Insecticon leader emits a grunt, "What is this - this?"

Nightbird glances over to Deathsaurus as he mentions Megatron, then turns back to watch the Insecticons again.

Barrage glances at Venom, "Brother-er... I thought you were guarding the base-ase?"

Deathsaurus's fiery optics narrow slightly as he regards the recently arriving Insecticon. "And you must be Venom, of whom Cyclonus spoke so highly."

Chopshop looks to Venom "yes, brother. It is good to see you"

Sabre Brain spins from his position at the top of the Mountain quietly, then makes his way down it

Sabre Brain heads upward and out of the crater.

Dotcom nods to Venom...

JauGar looks over to brother Hellbat to get attention and nods slyly flashing a corner of his visor as opposed to a single eye wink.

Venom nods his head-dome thingy as he looks towards the Insecticons, "I was - was" turning to face Deathsaurus, "Yes, I am Venom - Venom" he waves a gauntlet towards his Insecticon bethren and states, "And now I repeat my question - question. What is this -- this? My warriors are swearing loyalty to whom - whom?"

Nightbird shakes her head slightly at this.

Deathsaurus flares his long wings out a little bit more to the side, their edges outlined in the infernal glow of the nearby magma. "To the leader of the Decepticons," he says, his optics flashing a little brighter. "To me."

Barrage says, "To Lord Deathsaurus, Venom. You were informed-ed of this? I was-as..."

Chopshop says, "yes, we shall swear our fielty and our talnets to the Lord Deathsaurus of the Decepticons, who Cyclonus also follows loyally"

Dotcom twitches her head slightly... and steps forward... "Pardon my interruption, but I have a feeling the Autobots intend to crash this event.."

Deathsaurus regards Venom expectantly. "A shame that you were left behind at the base, during so important an occasion. The chance to join the warrior elite as a fully recognized member--" he breaks off and looks sharply toward Dotcom.

Barrage glances sharply at Dotcom, "Indeed-eed? Then they shall be destroyed..." he gazes out around the edge of the crater.

Dotcom says, "Their leader has radioed them to head to unspecified coordinates... but I have a feeling they are coming here..."

Chopshop says, "It would be their way, foolish creatures. WE shall steal victory from their greedy hands"

Deathsaurus growls softly, the wings snapping back behind him to give him a more aerodynamic look as he scans the area, aware that at the bottom of a crater they're at a distinct tactical disadvantage.

Nightbird draws a sword from her backback, holding two shuriken in the other hand. She scans the area carefully, her optics glowing brightly.

Deathsaurus says, "What are those crawling miscreants doing, close enough to have their transmissions intercepted? To the sky, my warriors. We will not make ourselves a target. If there are indeed Autobots lurking nearby, we will bury them in this crater along with their pathetic former leader's old base."

Barrage summons forth his Swarm as he leaps skyward transforming... it will of course take them some time to GET here...

Barrage assumes his large insect form.

Dotcom says, "Bah.. they speak on their main channel, and have ordered radio silence since. They know we're listening, but they're not bright enough to keep us from knowing their plot."

Dotcom transforms into her larger Ladybug mode.

Nightbird makes her way toward the drop ship, scanning the sky for Autobots.

Chopshop looks at Dotcom "let us take victory from them then. If they are so foolish they shall deserve the death we shall deal to them"

Metro-Bomb scrambles back uop the slope to his ship

Mecha-ladybug prepares for their arrival... "I would imagine they will quickly fall... against such a force as us."

Deathsaurus hovers upward from the ground, and transforms in mid-air to his death dragon mode.

Deathsaurus transforms into Death Dragon.

Venom, who just seems to have just stood there, looks to about to say a nice little speech, cuts himself short when Dotcom makes it known that an Autobot is in the area. He assumes his larger Insect Mode, and activates his anti-grav unit as well as his wings. He takes to the air and loads a stinger missile, "For those Insecticons who have brought their clones - clones. Scatter them and scan for the Autobot or Autobots - Autobots"

The Insecticon Leader folds down into his Larger Insect Alternate mode. Soon, the Buzzing flier hovers there, obviously thinking of devious things.

Death Dragon calls, "Metro-Bomb, take the ground troops up with the dropship. The rest of you, scatter and search the area.

Nightbird heads upward and out of the crater.

Mecha-Beetle spreads his shell halves wide and his racks of artillary shells rise up in tiers over him, he continues to rise into the air.

You climb upward from the crater and descend the rocky slopes of the rim.

Oregon Mountains

Running parallel to the coast in a north- south direction, this ridge of mountains was pushed up by the collision of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates, many ages past. Once draped in dense coniferous forest that thrived on the rocky soil, cool climate, and high rainfall, the nuclear disaster that devastated this region has left the mountain chain almost barren, and reaching toward the sky like a set of skeletal vertebrae. In what was once the forested slope of the Oregon mountain range, only a few patches of forest cling to the sheltered valleys, but even these ancient trees seem more dead than alive, their needles stunted and their branches charred. What remains of the vegetation is seared off abruptly halfway up the rim of a great volcanic crater, the jagged edges crumbling in on themselves and flanked by the solemn sentinels of other bare mountains.

Shuttle:

This space shuttle is, well, your typical space shuttle... It has the typical fin setup: two large white wings which extend from the back half, and a tail fin sticking up from the rear as well. Blue boosters sit atop each wing, and a red and blue stripe outlines the tailfin. This shuttle also has a cargobay and room for passengers (as long as they aren't TOO big). The entire thing is streamlined, from the black-tipped nosecone, to the rudder on the rear, and everything is coated in heat-resistant tiling, meant for rentry shielding.

Mecha-ladybug emerges from the rim of the crater.

Mecha-Beetle emerges from the rim of the crater.

Mecha-Wasp emerges from the rim of the crater.

Mecha-Beetle buzzes upwards from the crater, close on the heels of Death Dragon!

Blue Dassault emerges from the rim of the crater.

Death Dragon rises from the volcanic rim like a nightmare in motion, his fangs bared and his tail lashing as he twists in the air and scans for the nearest targets.

Black FAV emerges from the rim of the crater.

Star Fighter flies around the mountain, his ragtag group gathering around his location

Black FAV heads for Northwestern America.
Black FAV has left.

Blacker glances over to Laster and pulls out his sword."It appears the party is just beginning...." He points his sword to into the air.

Multiforce has arrived.

Lambor has arrived.

Black FAV arrives from Northwestern America.

Multiforce spots the Decepticons flying out of the crater, and quickly merges, cuz their player can't handle 6 puppets today.

Laster slowly begins to grin as he pulls his sword out of Subspace. He jogs over to Blacker and touches swords with Blacker.

Multiforce shouts, "Gettai Landcross!" Wing forms the upper torso, while Mach and Dash become the arms. Waver forms the lower torso and thighs, as Tacker and Tackle latch on to be the boots. Landcross's breastplate appears out of subspace, and his head emerges from his chest. Neato spotlights surround him, and his name appears in katakana as he poses. Then, he prepares to do battle.

Chopshop emerges from the rim of the crater.

ROADCEASER has arrived.

Chopshop buzzes around, sizing up the enemy forces

Blacker lets out cry."MERGE!"

<Decepticon> Death Dragon says, "Decepticons, it seems the enemy has conveniently come to us. Assemble and blow these wastes of scrapmetal out of the sky!"

Like some Apoctolyptic thingamajig, A Huge, Meched out Wasp bug thingy Hovers out of the crater. Legs flailing, and stinger poised and ready, the Insecticon leader, Venom, Makes his entrence, or rather, exit out of the volcano. He points forward and glances around with his antennae and his optics, "Insecticons, converge on enemies and maul them - them"

Chopshop says, "who shall we strike at first brother?"

Mecha-ladybug um.... flies out and looks meanacing. Yeah, that's it... :)

Death Dragon rises higher, in order to get a clear overview of everyone flying around. While his scarlet optics flicker from one nearby Autobot to the other as though choosing a target, he as of yet holds back, as though to see how his warriors will conduct themselves.

Star Fighter flies down toward his troop, and transforms as he nears them, "Autobots! Now is the time to strike! TRANSFORM!" he rises up into robot mode, landing on the ground. As he does this, he seperates the sword hilt attached to his arm, and wields it. A blade grows from it, which he holds out professionally,

Star Sabre TRANSFORMS into his Super-Robot form

Blue Dassault follows the dragon, not seeming keen to get involved on a personal level.

ROADCEASER grips his sword even tighter as he lets out a chuckle."Looks like it is the time of reckoning."

Landcross summons his own sword... "Lots of bugs to swat..." he comments. "I can tell I'm going to need to clean all of my windshields after this battle."

Death Dragon bares his mouthful of jagged fangs, his optics blazing brighter with pure hatred as he takes note of Star Sabre, but still he restrains himself and remains hovering in the air.

Venom rises higher and higher into the air. Glancing between the various approaching Autobots, "A Pity I left my Clones at base - base" he states in an almost monotone voice. He notes Landcross' statement and just sits there in the air brooding, "Let them come to me - me"

Lambor stances with a full (G2 Sideswipe comic style) array of weapons and advances to where the action is.

Chopshop buzzes up and stays by Venom's side "We shall fight together, brother. Let us destroy them as we should"

Dotcom unfolds into her robot mode.

Dotcom flies up near her brothers, Ion Blaster charging up with energy... "We'll see them flattened before the day is done."

Star Sabre points his sword forward as he stands infront of his group, "Autobots, meet the Insecticons." He looks up to Deathsaurus, "We've been introduced as the people that will kill them, and take away there freedom, if allowed." he chuckles slightly, "We can't disappoint them. Clense them from this ancient landmark quickly"

Nightbird emerges from the rim of the crater.

Chopshop looks to Venom "He mocks us...."

Dotcom says, "So let us mock him back."

Death Dragon snarls, "My warriors will entomb you in that relic, Star Saber!"

Nightbird comes over of the rim of the crater silently, just enough to look at the scene before her.

Venom says, "We will have alot of salvage by the time this has finished - finished" He buzzes a bit, allowing some corrosive acid appear along his stinger's end and hovers, waiting for the Autobot's to approach, "It does not matter -- matter. Prepare for battle - battle"

ROADCEASER levels his sword at Dotcom."You shall be made an example of! It will be a pleasure to remove you from this place!"

Chopshop says, "mock...I want his head. It would be sold as a great souvenir"

Dotcom says, "TEll me Roadceaser, are all your components as hard up for a date as the one I met in Sun City? Or does he just like to dress in drag?"

Lambor grips his G2 style sword and taps around it with his fingers "Ahh likes me tha odds here.

ROADCEASER lets out a chuckle."You Decepticons do not understand a joke...Oh well...Perhaps it is time to show you one."

Death Dragon still remains in the air, never mind that his every instinct is to dive for Star Saber's throat ... this too is part of the Insecticons' initiation, even though it was unplanned.

The Wasp snaps his head towards Roadceaser and narrows his little buggy optics. He points a leg at it and announces, "Insecticons, that will be our first target - target. Converge and destroy - destroy. It will make fine salvage - salvage!"
