Sixshot laughed as Wheeljack pulled out his weapons. "Try all you want, prey. It is more fun when the prey fights back."
And to see
The hopelessness
In their eyes
As I kill them
Yes
Sixshot stalked even closer, claws audibly making a sharp noise against the ground. He was aware of Jazz and his four-mech team behind him, but he ignored them. The main priority is the prey...
And then Jazz fired a shot over his head.
Streetwise tried to move towards Wheeljack and Highbrow, so Sixshot transformed, plates expanding into his tank mode, filling up the tunnel and hopefully leaving little space for the Protectobot to move through.
He aimed his turrets at Jazz's group and fired several rounds of the sonic-kinetic energy blasts. "My quarrel is not with you. Leave, and I probably won't hunt you down. Probably."

Outside
"Pity." Scorponok sighed as Tarantulas told him that the Spyder was destroyed, resisting the urge to insult the other mad scientist. Tarantulas' tantrums were... not nice. "But Sixshot could easily handle an entire Autobot squadron, let alone two inventors and a bunch of troopers. Won't be much of a show."
Scorponok shrugged at Predacon. "I don't mind Megatron. I would very much like to meet him." The scientist smirked at the chamberlain as they passed, then shook his head at the rather... spartan decor of the Governor's Palace.
It fit, of course, with the whole revolutionary shebang, but Scorponok didn't really fancy drab when Megatron could easily acquire the newest designs by Slog or Buzzsaw...
______________________________
Governor's Palace
Skywarp nodded at Megatron's order. "Yes, boss. It won't be a problem. The two of us can find out what we need..."
He glared at Motormaster, his optics telling him that the only reason he's cooperating with the Stunticon is because of Megatron's orders. "...can't we?"
______________________________
Obsidian's first instinct was to bite an angry response to Megatron's reply, and leave and help Zeta Prime destroy yet another batch of insurgents...
And then the General laughed.
"You are angry with the government." Obsidian told Megatron. "I can see that. But -- indulge me for a moment, Governor Megatron -- this system, this problem, as you so put it, has not always been like this. My... ranks, my tags, they were given to me from the age of Nova Prime, before many of you were even constructed. During that age, Nova ruled without the cumbersome need of a Senate or a dogmatic aristocracy that requires him to listen to the whims of paltry businessmech and their ilk. Those people who do not care if the planet, if the little people, suffer."
Obsidian's optics narrowed.
"We need another leader like Nova. A strong, single leader, if we want to root out this cancer that is the Iaconian government. I was built to protect Cybertron... even from its own so-called rulers. If you genuinely have Cybertron's best interests in mind, Governor Megatron, then... the time to strike is ripe. Iacon is led by buffoons, and I intend to rip them apart until Cybertron could return to a new Golden Age, under a single leader who has Cybertron's best interest at heart. I come to you not as a General, but as another citizen of Cybertron, and I ask you... are you that leader, Megatron? Do you have Cybertron's best interest at heart?"

Switch had jumped down the hole with the others and followed. His ener-rifle was at the ready, clutched by tight fingers.
"The m-m-m-multi-former....." he murmured. Even saying the word was strange, strange as the Transformer with so many modes.
What is it..? H-how can it have more than one alternate mode?
Switch didn't know. Then, Jazz's warning shot in the multiformer's direction. He raised his rifle.
=======
The tunnels echoed with sound and voices.
A pair of wide-set optics shone pale-yellow in the distance in front of Wheeljack, Highbrow and the others.
The owner of those optics remained at a distance, for a moment, watching with expectant curiosity.
This was the source of the sounds that brought him there.
The dark form started his slow, sliding trek in their direction. A pair of eyes in between a very large mouth, heading in their direction.

Megatron looked at Obsidian as if dissecting him...or perhaps, as if he was only truly seeing him for the first time.
"I like your attitude," he told the general. "But your priorities are all wrong. Cybertron is nothing but a hunk of metal and rock. It's meaningless. The Transformers are what give it meaning, Obsidian. If what you meant to ask was, 'do you have the Transformers' best interests at heart?' then the answer is yes. I will do everything in my power to make sure my people thrive. But tell me, general...how far are you willing to go? Will you stand at my side and tear down everything you've fought so long and hard to defend, if that's what we have to do to save our people?"
_____________________________________
Predacon smiled. "Well, ask no more!" he told Scorponok. The doors to the palace's grand ballroom swung open, admitting the trio of mad scientists (along with their escort of blank-faced Vehicons) into the huge hall. Predacon wasted no time joining the festivities, grabbing a flagon of energon from a passing tray before he grinned and said, "Enjoy yourselves! Mingle! But don't kill anyone important. I'll go find Megatron and bring him to see you."

Sixshot chuckled as the Autobots raised their paltry weapons at him. This was going to be a fun rodeo... There were six of them. Wheeljack, Highbrow, Jazz, Topspin, Switch and Streetwise.
Perfect.
Six was a good number.
One mode for each kill.
His radar detected a seventh Transformer approaching. Sixshot mentally shrugged. The more the merrier.
More destruction.
More destruction.
"All of you... come at me with all you've got."

Obsidian waited silently as Megatron finished speaking, digesting and mulling over all of the Decepticon leader's words.
"Yes, Cybertron's children is what gives our planet its meaning." Obsidian told Megatron. After all, weren't the planet and its people one? Defending one meant defending the other. "I am able to tell that you are telling the truth, for your reply is full of conviction that you are doing the right thing."
Yes, this was a leader, who, like Obsidian, would do anything, absolutely anything, to protect what he believes to be true.
While he doesn't have the same... well-founded fanaticism that Obsidian had for the planet, wanting to help the people, well, it's similar enough that it does not matter. Megatron was the right leader for this planet.
Obsidian's red optics narrowed into slits. "I, too, shall do everything in my power for Cybertron and her people. I shall tear down our corrupt government. Our weak, obsolete Prime. Our skewed military forces. They are regrettable losses... but what is the loss of a few lives, or even a city, compared to the survival of our race? This is something that must be done if we are to survive."
A3 and Smokescreen... isn't this what you meant? I am furthering your visions. Just watch. Cybertron will be back to its Golden Age, reborn in the fires of revolution.

Scorponok shook his head at Predacon's rather flamboyant swaggering, but he didn't mind. This, after all, was not the Senate. Real talent is respected here, be it physical strength or scientific expertise (both, Scorponok had in spades). It's not like the Senate, where money and connections (again, Scorponok had these in spades) was the main deciding factor.
Scorponok nodded in greeting at some of the other businessmen who recognized him, some of the former employees of the Senate, discontent workers...
He raised his claws at some others, nodding at greetings of people whose names he couldn't be bothered to remember. Not that they conversed long, as Scorponok's angry glare told them that he did not want to talk much.
Yes, there was Ratbat, a lesser businessmech although he could be dangerous... there was that idiot servant Mindwipe... oh, he recognized Clench easily enough, that was for certain. Was that the actor Skullgrin there? And the war general Obsidian?
Scorponok shook his head. Looks like he was not the only celebrity here...

Wheeljack shook his head. "You really like the sound of your own vocal processors, don't you?" he said in response to Highbrow. "Even in a battle, you talk a lot."
Wheeljack looked at Sixshot and then beyond him. He saw that help had indeed arrived. "Good to know that my emergency transmission reached the right bots," he said, noticing the Autobot symbols.
"Oh, I'll try alright," he said in response to Sixshot and fired off a shot from his launcher, firing his shrapnel-needle shells. "These things will even pierce your armour."
_______________
"Fire only when fired upon," Jazz said to Topspin, Streetwise and Switch. "But watch your aim. Do not fire if it'll comprimise the safety of Wheeljack and his associate!"
Sixshot had changed into a different form and made it impossible to pass him in any way. "You hunting down Wheeljack makes you my problem," Jazz replied to Sixshot. "One last warning. Cease your hostile activities and identify yourself or we will open fire!"
Jazz couldn't see Wheeljack anymore. "Wheeljack. If you can hear me, try to create enough distance between the hostile and yourself. We'll keep him occupied long enough for you to attempt an escape!"
He then turned to Streetwise. "Streetwise. Go back the way we came and try to find another entry point to the tunnels so Wheeljack and the other one canmake their escape," he ordered. "Their safety is our top priority."

Tarantulas stood next to Scorponok as he looked around the place. He recognized most of the mechs currently present. "My my," he said to the larger mech. "We're surrounded by glitches looking for some excitement, aren't we?"

"Yes." Motormaster replied to Skywarp. "Stunticons, get yourself some high-grade energon. You all will be staying as Skywarp and I investigate."
--------------------
Kaon Tunnels
Knowing he wouldn't be able to get past Sixshot Streetwise climbed back out of the tunnel. Everywhere he looked he found nothing that even resembled something to get back into the tunnel on the other side.
Streetwise ran back to the entrance of the tunnel, but didn't jump in. He took several steps away from the hole then stopped. "If I'm right then this is where the multi-changer is located," He took several more steps, "and this is where I need to be. Now what can I use?" He looked around for anything that would help him get in the tunnel. Suddenly he stopped, and left his gun where he stood to mark the location.
He ran back to the destroyed lab and found what he was looking for. In his servo he gripped a piece of the metal that was once part of the wall of the lab. Inner or outer, Streetwise didn't know. What he did know was that this would help him get back in the tunnels. Maybe.
Streetwise grabbed his gun as he reached where he needed to start his objective. Using the splinter of metal, he began the process of getting back in. The ground removed easily, but with how much he had to get through he knew it would take some time.

Mindwipe truned to Scorponok ''Oh, master, here to present Sixshot I presume? While your at it can you him?'' Mindwipe said, pointing at Obsidian ''He dosen't seem to like either of us'' he fineshed, tension in his mind.
Thundercraker truned to Motermaster and spoke ''Mind I be rude, butyour Stunticon unit dosen't look very stable''

Topspin held his fire, but it was a daunting task. "Not to question you or anything, but if that thing" Topspin said to Jazz, indicating Sixshot, "is as powerful as they said, I don't think 'holding our fire' until he shoots is in our best interest."
-----------------
Highbrow looked at Wheeljack. "My apologies. It is simply my nature." As he finished, he pulled out one of the guns from the lab, firing it on Sixshot as Wheeljack fired on him as well.

Sixshot chuckled as the Autobots reacted to him. "Prey, all of you." He hissed.
Wheeljack's shrapnel-needle shells flew towards the rear of Sixshot's tank mode, and they indeed pierced the hexchanger's armour. It moved through the thick exostructure and grazed the circuits below. It did not harm Sixshot but damn did it hurt.
Highbrow's standard gun, on the other hand, did nothing but blacken Sixshot's paint a little.
"Nice attempt." Sixshot growled. "But you see, my armour is built out of the subcompacted matter out of a collapsed star. It will take more than that to harm me."
Sixshot had no idea whether that bit of information is true, it was something Scorponok's information profile told him. Regardless, scaring the crap out of the enemy was good fun.
He then turned his attention to Jazz, who seemed to be the leader of the motley group. "Fire only when fired upon?" He asked in disbelief. "Even the little tinkerers had more spine than you. Pride of the Prime's army you are." He let Streetwise go, it was, after all, more fun when they try, so desperately, to fight back.
Sixshot then indulged Jazz, "I am Sixshot. The future of our race. You are in my way." Sixshot tracked Jazz's group with his tank turret rack, and opened fire, sending several blasts of hypersonic energy at them.

Skywarp nodded at Motormaster, keeping up a civil conversation for both their benefits. "After you." the Seeker gestured at the door, flat-out ignoring Thundercracker.
Speaking was what got him into trouble the first time.

"Yes." Scorponok told Tarantulas, the distaste in his voice evident. "I used to deal with these every day, you know. As part of the Senate. Bah."
Turning to Mindwipe, Scorponok nodded. "Sixshot, as well as some others. And results, as well." The Decepticon then turned to face Obsidian, who was engaged with a mech that Scorponok knew was Megatron. He frowned. "Mindwipe, if he's not on our side, he won't leave this fortress alive. As it is, I don't think we could do anything with a fanatic like him, nor can he do without us."

Jazz turned his head to Topspin. "It's in our best intrest that our gun fire doesn't hit the guys we need to save," Jazz said. "I'm also trying to learn as much as I can about this ..." Jazz had to jump out of the way as Sixshot opened fire. A name, he thought.
"Jazz, this is Volks. Prowl has ordered Sky Lynx to extract the scientists and he's bringing along Magnus as your back up. Hang in there, help's on the way."
You know nothing about the Autobot Army, Sixshot," Jazz replied as he returned fire. "But you'll find out soon enough," and fired off some more shots.

"No need to apologize," Wheeljack replied to Highbrow. "I get a little tense in these types of situations."
Wheeljack was happy that his shrapnel needle shells were working, but at the same time a little depressed that Highbrow's gun wasn't having any effect on Sixshot. "Remind me that if we make it out of here, I need to finish all my prototypes."

Tarantulas pretty much ignored Mindwipe. "Really, Scorponok. Why you ever wasted your energon on helping this Unicron spawn is beyond me," with more than enough contempt in his voice.

Switch was knocked to the tunnel floor when Sixshot fired. The hypersonic concussion raked over his armor.
"Hsss, ow...." The cadet rolled over and shook petrified as he cocked his rifle at the strange being with so many modes it defied all physical logic. And it had a name.
Sixshot.
Switch peeked at the massive multi-changer from the back of the group. This was--truly--his first time in combat. He'd never expected something like this Sixshot. He could barely speak, much less move. He was frozen, as terrified by its words 'All of you are prey.' as much as its power and its impossible number of forms.
He aimed his rifle and fired, though the thin beam of energy would likely do nothing to this being hell-bent on Wheeljack and Highbrow's destruction.
========
The large form at the other end of the tunnel slithered toward the two who were in pursuit by a big, giant... tank? He tilted his head as it transformed, taking up all of the tunnel.
He had no parameters for what he'd just witnessed, and he had no idea what they were talking about in anxious voices. But he did understand, at least, the tone in the giant unit's voice. They were for eating.
He slithered on his way toward the other's quarry.

Topspin's taank mode was pushed backward - not an easy task - by Sixshot's cannon. "And now we see why it's always a good idea to fire first." He said to no-one in particular. Topspin's cannon adjusted to the new angle and fired a round towards Sixshot.
------------------------
Highbrow was so distracted with Sixshot that he ignored what his sensors were saying - that they had company behind them. "Even weapons with marginal capabilities will eventually hurt him." Highbrow said to Wheeljack. "The problem lies within the fact that we would long be deactivated before this came to be an issue. But perhaps we can disable instead of destroy." As he said this, he fired shots at Sixshot's tank treads, hoping to disable the other bot's movements.

Trudging through the under-tunnels of Kaon was not exactly how he had planned to spend his day. But, his quarry was in here and it was his job to find them.
He knelt down, listening, checking the disturbance of mud, sludge and general awful that made up the tunnels flooring. The "trail" wasn't exactly hard to find. 5 Mechs in total, though one was rather large. Then he heard weapons-fire.
He transformed, his red and black form blending into the darkness. The thrusters on the back of his vehicle mode ignited and he raced through, towards the sounds.

Megatron nodded, accepting Obsidian's words but not openly agreeing with them. Although he certainly had no objections to a little genocide if it helped him achieve his goals without risking the lives of his Decepticons, he certainly wasn't going to outright say that. At least, not in public.
"Obsidian, I think you'll make a wonderful Decepticon. And as it happens, I am in need of an air commander. After the party, find me and we'll talk about your new role." Then he looked over the ex-general's shoulder at Grimlock and Skullgrin.
"Friends of yours?"

Predacon moved through the crowd, flamboyantly attracting attention to himself at every turn -- which wasn't especially difficult when you consider how very similar he looked to Megatron in spite of their different alternate-mode kibble.

Lugnut scraped his huge jaws together in disapproval when he caught sight of the distasteful Predacon heading in their direction.
Oh, just what we needed. Another idiot like Skywarp...
He made a deliberate choice to turn away so that the dunce's antics wouldn't annoy him any more than he already was.
Turning to Hatemonger, he said, "Yes, a shame. He gave the Glorious Megatron a good fight, after all. Anyone who can do that has to be a great fighter."

"Talk about how you do your job. That all you Autobots do?" Sixshot asked Jazz and Topspin. He took the brunt of Jazz's and Switch's blasts without breaking a stride. Topspin's tank shell slammed against his exostructure, but all it left was a blackened spot and a few scratches on his paint.
Sixshot began to roll towards the soldiers. The main targets, well, let them run. He wanted to know what else he could do... "Bring on the entire army." Sixshot growled. "That is what I am built for."
He was aware of the mysterious large Transformer approaching Wheeljack and Highbrow, but ignored him. If he got rid of the scientist, it's a boon. If he turns out to be a hostile, well, it's also a boon.
Highbrow shot at his tank treads, and Sixshot chuckled. Most of the treads were hidden under his armour, but if the scientist wanted to shoot out treads so much...
"Oh, here. Let me help you." Sixshot shifted into his armoured car mode in a set of swift movement, revealing a set of powerful wheels. "Wheels are easier to shoot than tank treads. Not that you'll find doing so much good, mind..."
One cannon swivelled back towards Wheeljack and Highbrow and opened fire with a series of hypersonic blasts, and the other continued to spray fire at Jazz's team, sending several pulses of sonic blasts that should hopefully knock them away with the sheer force.

Scorponok shrugged. "Now you know why we opportunists never act on charity, Tarantulas." The former Senator shrugged. "He could be... useful."
Scorponok sincerely doubted that at the moment, though. "You know, we do have... business to do here, remember, Tarantulas."

Obsidian saw the look in Megatron's optics, and knew that the Decepticon leader agreed with his methods. Truly, Cybertron would be benefited with a new, strong leader like Megatron.
"I would be honoured to do so, Governor Megatron." Obsidian told Megatron, placing his arm on his torso and giving a short, curt bow with his head.
An air commander. He could live with that.
Obsidian turned to face Grimlock and Skullgrin, and nodded. "Acquaintances, at least. This is Skullgrin, renowned actor and fighter. This is Grimlock, a former soldier who used to serve under my command until he was... relieved of duty due to an incident. A good fighter."
Grimlock strode up to Megatron, clearly unafraid of the Decepticon leader, who stood as tall as Grimlock himself. "Me, Grimlcok, know you, Megatron. You, Megatron, only one ever to beat Grimlock in Forge."
Obsidian raised an optic brow at this revelation, that Megatron was powerful enough to defeat Grimlock, yet had a vision to change the world... and his outlook on Megatron had just increased.

Jazz shook his head. Topspin was a typical soldier. Shoot first and ask questions later. When knowing your enemy's capabilities its not a bad philosophy, but facing an unknown, it's best to gather as much information as you can. Jazz looked at Sixshot and saw that he changed in yet another form. That's four modes that he has seen so far.
"Streetwise, what's your status?" he said over the com. "Are you you any closer to Wheeljack and the other?"
Jazz fired of some rounds at Sixshot. They were having no effect and Jazz didn't have anything more powerful. He was hoping that Sky Lynx and Magnus would get here soon. "Topspin, Switch" he called out. "Our weapons seem to have no effect. How are your hand-to-hand combat skills?"

"This guy has firepower that's off the charts", Wheeljack said to Highbrow while jumping out of harms way. "Disable, huh?" Tht gives me an idea."
Wheeljack subspaces his current weaponry away and pulls something else from it. "Remeber this. Used this gun to pulg up that hole in the wall." Wheeljack aimed it at one of Sixshot's turrets and fired off a round. "This should do the trick."

"What?"
The blast of that... gooey... thing that Wheeljack fired at Sixshot flew straight at his rear. He had no idea what the thing would do, but since Wheeljack so helpfully said that it's used to plug a wall Sixshot guessed it was some kind of adhesive.
Sixshot
Moved
Parts moving faster than the optic could follow, Sixshot transformed into his tank mode, the main turrets facing Wheeljack's side, while his two main concussion cannons faced the other side and opened fire at Jazz, Switch and Topspin.
Sixshot opened fire with the rest of his turrets, tearing through the chemical (and hopefully the blasts would continue towards Wheeljack and Highbrow) but shooting at a liquid isn't very easy.
Some of the fast-hardening material landed on Sixshot's turret rack, and hardened instantly, blocking some of his turrets.
Oh
Nice one
Prey.
Now
You
Die.
Sixshot then rumbled towards Wheeljack and Highbrow, training his weapons on the two inventors and opening fire on them.

Kaon, Descent
Sky Lynx radioed Jazz, "Magnus and I are over Kaon. Hold tight, we'll be there momentarily."
He descended to Kaon and made a landing outside the ruined workshop as per the coordinates.
He lowered his ramp.
"Here we are," Sky Lynx said, scanning the area, "I'll be keeping watch out here while I extricate our guests, If that multichanger gives you any trouble, I'm here to assist."
Kaon Tunnels
The Transformer behind Wheeljack and Highbrow as Sixshot was firing on them. Sludge comprehended Sixshot at last.
"Big," Sludge said in an awed, sleepy voice.
He was big, and he was going to get the soon-to-be scrap first if Sludge didn't act quickly! He was right behind Highbrow, and the large, lizard-mouth opened and dripped waste, and made a haphazard chomp down toward Highbrow's head and torso, that is, if Highbrow doesn't move out of the way!
======
Switch was knocked back and tumbled over the disgusting tunnel floor until he came to rest. His torso smoked and crumpled inward from the blast and his cranium hurt. In fact, all of him hurt.
Ouch....
He got up from the ground.
"Hand to hand? It's decent enough," Switch replied to Jazz.
The cadet studied the strange Transformer blocking the tunnel and its lightning-rapid transformation. He shunted his rifle to subspace and bottled up his fear with a determined look.
"What do you want us to do against....that....sir?"
He took up a combat stance.
