had prime a mouth, a large smirk would have crossed it... Of all the things hound, that mouse that the humans saw as a figure of legend... he thought to himself, snagging the tools from the air as they came flying toward him...

"Grotusque... I'll cut you a deal. give us no further trouble and I'll let you in on a mission that will have you beating on all the bots you could possibly like."

Prime set his gaze on the monsterbot... then over at repugnus... then back at grotusque...

"What'll it be, friend?"

Wheeljack shrugged "I have only had a chjance to get a quick scan in, the cassette's, Brawn though they need major repairs as they were flattened though in one peice"

Wheeljack stopped to think then nodded

"Sideswipe's the only one that I can think of that wouldn't take days to repair but... he needs his head"

Blaster sat in the comm-room getting anxious decided it was getting too boring for all this message stuff and flipped on his receiver and set to an earth music frequency and just sat back listening to music.

Springer pondered a moment, then contacted Blaster.

"Yo! Blaster, I need a bit of recon work. Find me the last known position of Bludgeon, or more importantly Sideswipe's head..."

Quick Switch · Post by **Quick Switch** » Wed Jan 29, 2003 1:25 am

Quick Switch simply stared as the Elementals appeared.

"Hey, those femmes are back!" Brawl pointed, guffawing. "Sure got spunk, don't they?"

Vortex chortled along with his comrade.

Blast Off and Swindle merely shook their heads, amused.

Onslaught stepped behind Quick Switch and spoke audibly, so the Elementals could hear,

"I believe these organics mean well, sir, but can you trust them? They seem...well, rather rag-tag," the tactician said airily.

Quick Switch tried to repress his smile. Yes, Onslaught most definitely came from the "old school" approach to soldiering. The former Decepticon's elitist style was readily apparently.

"Duly noted, Onslaught," the Six Changer said, and Onslaught respectfully stepped back towards his group, though listening for what the Elementals would say. "Very well, though be advised that Iacon is presently dangerously understaffed thanks to this mission. Speak, and I'll consider afterwards."

"Aww man I'm comms officer not a blood hound" Blaster shrugged opening up his chest Steeljaw spitting out.

He was there watching Bludgeon kill Sideswipe so this was really back in the past for him.

"Steeljaw find that Decepti-pretender trashcan Bludgeon" Blaster said turning around the cat growling and running off.

"Alright let's see if any of your spy sattilites caught and glimpses of our friend Bludgeon" Blaster immediately went to work.
~~

Wheeljack looked at Springer "How do you know Bludgeon has it and if he does why would he still have it?"
~~

Jazz watched the elementals looking at the Onslaught and shook his head "Hey man lay off 'em it's not like they tried to back stab us before. I know we gotta be but if we don't trust them why trust you guys? If they turn on us so be it but I don't they they will they have been pretty loyal thus far"

Sunstreaker just groaned "Come on I wanna get in there and bust up Metroplex and some Autobot traitors" He called to all the others.

"Back on earth, after the assualt on Metroplex was successful, Sideswipe didn't return. It later became noted that Bludgeon had decided to wear the head of his first victim as a sick reminder of his power. That victim was Sideswipe, his head was the trophy."

Springer sat in the command chair.

Comfy

"Bludgeon's one sick freak, the only thing that would stop him carrying it would be his own, un-timely, demise..."

Quick Switch · Post by **Quick Switch** » Wed Jan 29, 2003 1:42 am

Onslaught shrugged to Jazz.

"We risked execution by Astrotrain, and nearly died at the hands of Trypticon. Look at these sigils. We have forsworn the faction of Megatron forever. We've had dealings with them you can't possibly imagine. We were forced to serve that cause, and now, we are free."

His optics narrowed.

"If we are heading off for the battle of our lives, I believe I have the right to question organics who simply appeared and were given carte blanche by Optimus Prime merely by roosting in Iacon! Our lives, and this mission, might depend on whether Operation Leader Quick Switch decides to include them!"

Blaster_86 · Post by **Blaster_86** » Wed Jan 29, 2003 2:02 am

Wheeljack nodded to Springer "Yeah, I knew Sideswipe didn't show but I didn't think he was caught by Bludgeon, I also gotta wonder how his body got here minus a head"
~~

Blaster sat back as the computer did a scan until a reptitive beeping noise began "What the? Already!?" Blaster said moving forward activating the play back.

Gigatron stopped just before Bludgeon. He smirked, long, quiet, maniacal. Then, turning to the side, he pointed one fist down at the prey for aim, and drew the other (dual-sword in hand) behind his head.

The helmet tinkered across the ground gently, then stopped and gaped. That horrified, unmoving skull stared up at Gigatron, only adding flavor to his victory. The winner slowly separated his swords and hooked them to their posts on his back, allowing him more affection in his kneeling before the defeated. He picked up the lost head, rocking it quickly in his hands.

Gigatron gently closed his fingers around the skull, pushing it into his hand and closing the screaming mouth. He glanced at the headless body, still wearing its own prize of ages ago. Gigatron reached over and plucked the chain from the bare neck, holding it in his other hand.

He set Bludgeon's head back on the ground, then used his free hand to tear Sideswipe's head from the chain. He glanced at it for a moment before tossing it aside and taking Bludgeon's again. Taking a few seconds from the vicious war going on around him, Gigatron tied each end of the wire conglomeration to one of Bludgeon's helmet prongs, then slung the entire jewel over his neck. Unlike Bludgeon, Gigatron did not take the time to admire his new accessory; he wore this grotesque item not for its vanity. Pleased with his work, Gigatron thrust himself away from the ground and prepared to head out. He glanced back at Bludgeon once more, allowing him to spot one final item he'd missed - the warrior's sword.

"Got it" Blaster muttered "Springer I got it I am forwarding the last thing seen of Bludgeon, Oh and by the way if you see Steeljaw tell him never mind"

The puma Bound into the command center making his way for the exit.

Jazz shrugged at Onslaught "Doesn't mean you won't back stab us. It just means you'll never be a Decepticon again. I say let 'em go we need the fire power"

Sunstreaker groaned hitting a button that opperated the grat at the front of the hanger transforming into his lambourghini mode "I"ll see you guys there" He began to rev his engine getting ready to take off.

Grotusque snorted as the tools were picked up by Optimus. The game had definitely lost it's fun. For him, at least. He raised a brow as he glanced over at Repugnus, still chasing the plane, and shook his head.

"Win some... lose some. Least I'm still in one piece... what the Pit is he doing, anyway?"

"Grotusque... I'll cut you a deal. give us no further trouble and I'll let you in on a mission that will have you beating on all the bots you could possibly like."

"What'll it be, friend?"

He thought it over for a second. Crushing 'bots definitely sounded like fun... but he remembered all too well the rigid command structure, which wasn't as...

"What, and put up with you? Hah... well, maybe. As long as you remember that we're not a coupla your happy little tin soldiers, that is..."

He eyed Optimus warily for a moment, then looked at Repugnus.

"Hey, Repugnus... what do you think? You wanna crush some stuff or not?"

StoneCold Skywarp · Post by **StoneCold Skywarp** » Wed Jan 29, 2003 3:00 am

"Crush?"

Repugnus suddenly found himself back with reality, not something he particularly cared for.

"Hey, you tricked us....stupid Autobots...War sounds fun though...don't expect us to play nice with your goody-goody warriors though."

Post by **Sades** » Wed Jan 29, 2003 3:09 am

Grotusque nodded, then turned back to Optimus.

"An' there's your answer. We're with ya... until we're not, that is."

He grinned a little, then turned away and took a swipe at the plane with his tail.

Quick Switch · Post by **Quick Switch** » Wed Jan 29, 2003 3:20 am

Onslaught scowled. It wasn't worth carrying on a discussion with Jazz- he'd only make light of everything.

Quick Switch wheeled on Sunstreaker.

"Damnit Sunstreaker, I said to wait and that's an order! If you leave now you will ruin our slim margin for surprise once the full force is assembled! Stand down or you'll be relieved!"

StoneCold Skywarp · Post by **StoneCold Skywarp** » Wed Jan 29, 2003 3:33 am

"Don't try any slaggin' funny stuff though, I won't hesitate to tear you a new exhaust pipe Prime.."

It was a change, as sudden as his volatile mood swings...Repugnus showed, what many thought, his true nature.

Mirage walked in to the hangar where the group was gathered and saw Quick Switch giving Sunstreaker orders to stay put, and he shook his head before heading over to lean against the wall again. Jetfire followed him inside, but this time moved closer to the group. His curiosity was growing.

Trader's Alley
Hound turned and stepped back several paces after the bag was caught by Optimus. Then he made the zooming plane hologram look like it exploded into tiny pieces as Grotusque's tail got close to it.

Remaining quiet he couldn't take his eyes off of the two creatures- that is, until Optimus extended the offer. First Hound glanced at Prime in disbelief and then he heard the threat from Repugnus. His tolerance immediately turned to alarm and his whole body stiffened.
How can Optimus even consider these two? How??? He stared, with a mix of defensiveness and shock on his face. Optimus certainly hadn't been acting like himself, at least, not the way Hound knew him to be. He waited for Prime's reaction.

"All valid points. I will explain our reason for joining the strikeforce, as well as our abilities" Frost started as she looked at everyone present. "You all remember the recent fight outside when Rodimus Convoy and company were here? Our sister, Blaze, was inside the ship he arrived in when it was taken away by that titan of his. We are fairly certain that she is still held inside his headquarters and we want to rescue her. When we have freed our sister, we would be at full combat strength again. I trust some of you are familiar with the 'giant' teams? We are one such team, when all four of us are together, we can combine into one being. And having a giant on your side would be beneficial, considering that titan that Rodimus has" she paused a moment to let everyone sort things out.
"It seems our sudden appearance causes some confusion and mistrust. We are just as metalic on the inside as the rest of you, but our outward appearance differs greatly. We are not organic, our forms are saturated with elemental magic. I wield the powers of ice, whilst my sisters Blaze, Gale and Shock wield the powers of fire, wind and lightning respectivly. We became like this when our previous master, a being calling himself Malzra, awakened us from our slumber inside our crashed ship. A ship that bore the Autobot symbol. We gained our other form, that of a bird, when we awoke. We helped Malzra win a war against a massive threat, and in return he brought us to this world, our homeworld. As for loyalty, the four of us have sworn loyalty to our current leader Optimus Prime, and that vow will only end when either the four of us perish, or Prime does. In 200 human years of service to Malzra we never betrayed him, and we have no intention to betray Prime now or ever" Frost finished.

Prime chuckled silently...

"Fine. We're headed back to Iacon then. Trader, we'll be in touch."

Prime transformed into rig mode, and sent a coded message to hound...

"These two were among our original forces... they went awol after several of the "more self absorbed" commanding officers thought they could boss them around. At any rate... I think Springer might be able to whip them into some sort of shape. the wreckers were shorthanded last I heard, and these two are brutal and deadly enough to fit right in, I think..."

Quick Switch · Post by **Quick Switch** » Wed Jan 29, 2003 2:46 pm

"Another merge group would be benificial, I conceed that," Onslaught remarked.

Quick Switch nodded at Onslaught's comment. He addressed the Elementals:

"I appreciate your candor. Another combiner will, naturally, assist the Grand Army of Optimus Prime against the legion of traitors and enemies who we now, or soon will, face. And I appreciate the situation in regards to your...sister," the Six Changer groped for the appropriate word. "But know this," he said, pointing to Frost. "This mission is solely for the purpose of crippling Metroplex, not for a rescue. With that in mind, your abilities will be harnessed to attack Convoy's forces who try to defend Metroplex. You will not be allowed to rescue her. If she escapes during the battle, so be it. But I will not jeopardize the soldiers under my command for one life. The destruction of Metroplex's transformation cog is more important to the war effort."

Pause.

"If you agree to these terms, yet deviate from the order of battle in the field, I will recommend you to Springer for court-martial."

Officially, of course, this must be my position. But of course, I know they're going to rescue her anyway. I'll find a way to send them inside Metroplex with Mirage as an 'escort'... then, on their own, they can rescue their sister. But I won't provide extra troops to do it.

Ravage_mk2 · Post by **Ravage_mk2** » Wed Jan 29, 2003 3:58 pm

"Agreed, the mission should come first" Frost replied. And finding Blaze or being found by her is just a matter of time once we get near enough to sense each other she thought.

Blaster_86 · Post by **Blaster_86** » Wed Jan 29, 2003 4:28 pm

Sunstreaker growled at Quick Switch "Go ahead and releave me it ain't gonna stop me from going and kicking some chrome plating besides you need all the fire power you can get which I bring"

Sunstreaker replied to the Sixchanger before he went over to the elementals.

Jazz just sat back and watched what went on knowing the risk that this was going to be he fished it was him going in for the cog but ever since Metroplex left Earth and became Metro-titan he wasn't so much a Covert-ops man anymore as much just a grunt ofcourse that is what was needed now especially with the Rodimus and Thunderwing situation.

"So if we are all done here lets hit the road and Metroplex Hard" Jazz said just the Elemental agreed to Quick Switch's orders.
~~

Wheeljack looked at Springer "Well now we know where Thunderwing and Sideswipe's head is how do we go about getting it?"

Quick Switch · Post by **Quick Switch** » Wed Jan 29, 2003 5:01 pm

"Agreed," Quick Switch noted to Frost and Jazz. "The Headmasters and Alpha will remain to defend Iacon. We cannot delay any longer."

He addressed Jetfire:

"Transform, Jetfire. You will carry Jazz, Sunstreaker, and Mirage."

The Six Changer turned to the Combatrons:

"Blast Off, you will carry your fellow Combatrons, the Elementals and myself."

Blast Off bowed and said:

"A most distinct honor, Commander," and transformed to shuttle mode. "You are in safe hands."

Onslaught gave the command:

"Combatrons, board and prepare for battle!" So doing, Brawl, Vortex, Swindle and Onslaught boarded Blast Off and sat in his cargo hold.

Blast Off kept his hold open for the Elementals to board him.

Quick Switch remained outside, waiting for Jetfire to complete the command and the three Transformers to board before he, himself, would enter Blast Off and give the command to leave.
