Turn 23: Maximum Carnage
DESTROY BLUEJAY AND HIS MAGIC COVER
[4+3][6][6] Oh-ho, no! You're not dealing with any of Blue Jay's shit this time! You aim straight for him, launching a massive salvo of artillery shells. The blast knocks the Autobot off his feet, much of his brand-new plating torn to shreds. Most of the building he hid behind is gone too; an all-around success! (+1 to Blaster Use)
I remain hidden and create a small flying drone.
[5] Carefully hidden away from the chaos all around you, a tiny little bot breaks off from you. It flies, but it's too small for anyone not looking to pick up, you hope. Now what shall you do with it? (+1 to Hacking)
Start picking off Autobots from the air.
Spotting a large, green target below, you take a shot. [4+2][1] Sadly, Bulkhead's plating's had some upgrades since your allies saw him burst from the factory. His new tank armor shrugs off all your attempts at destruction.
Ambush Ironhide, stay in the air and use my helicopters maneuverability. If he wants to find Decepticons, he'll find them all right, AND he is out in the open. Also watch out for any airborne attacks.
As Ironhide picks through the streets, you hover above him, flying straight out of an alleyway. Before he can counter, you open fire. [4+3][5][5] You cause some minor damage, but his plating absorbs most of the damage. He begins to run for cover before you can finish him off. As a side note, you do notice there's at least one team of aerial Autobots patrolling. (+1 to Blaster Use)
Attempt to(even thoug its not my forte) to undo the jamming, then infrom my fellow autobots, then create irony and jam the decepticons
[4] With some luck, you manage to decode the jamming and alert your fellow Autobots as to the locations of your foes. The various teams thank you, and get back to work. Not yet done, you try to turn the jammers against the Decepticons. [3] Sadly, it is beyond your abilities. (+1 to Hacking, level gained)
Repair myself. If all goes well, crawl into battle anyway.
[5] You manage to bring yourself back from the brink of death. Still in no condition to fight, you charge off towards the battle, and certain demise. (+1 to Repair, level gained)
I wait in ambush until any autobot is directly in the line of fire from both me and my turrets. Then, turrets converge on the target, and I shoot it in the back with my biggest gun.
[4] As the battle presses on a lone Autobot passes by you. You don't recognize him, but take the opportunity. Each of your turrets floats up behind him and open fire. [5+1][4][5] [6+1][5][4] [4+1][6][6] You rise from the wreckage, all of your firepower blasting away at one defenseless target. The Autobot is a scrap heap before anyone realizes you'd shot at him. That is, excluding his team who spotted you down the street. A large blue Autobot that almost looks like a samurai appears to be their leader, a massive hammer in his hands. Ultra Magnus doesn't like when people kill his bots. (+3
to Blaster Use, level gained)
follow and shoot at optimus's arms to cause him to drop barricade, get him to the ground safely
Seeing that Barricade is in danger, you take to the skies after Prime and open fire, trying to distract him. [6+2][5][6] With a flurry of bullets, a few sparks fly off of the Autobot leader's plating, causing him to flinch and drop Barricade. Your CO hits the ground hard, but seems no worse for wear. Optimus, though, is actually hurt a bit. You hurt Optimus Prime! Wait...
you hurt Optimus Prime. Run.Ambush something as it emerges from cover.
Seeing that Bulwark is in danger, you leap from the shadows and fire at one of Ultra Magnus' team. [3+4][6][4] The shot hits his hand, scorching it and causing the young bot to drop his weapon. You'd laugh, but you're too busy running from Ultra Magnus' hammer.
Decepticon Actions:Panic
"Get out of there!" He yells to Lightning Edge, seeing his subordinate had the gall to take on Optimus. He then turns to notice that, despite having a higher kill count, his men are hopelessly outnumbered. He charges towards Ultra Magnus, taking a shot at him. [3+3][3] It didn't do any real damage, but it diverted his attention from Hacksaw. That was all that mattered.
By now Barricade had realized just how screwed his team was. They needed a miracle, NOW.
Make a miracle
All of a sudden, an open frequency on the radio crackles to life, a very familiar voice speaking through it.
"Oh, Prime! How good of you to join our little get-together. You see, I've been meaning to talk to you for a very long time now, and I think it's time we, shall we say, cleaned the slate."
All the combatants look up to see a large squadron of Decepticon fighters, and then on the ground to see a horde of ground troops rushing towards the battle lines. As Optimus rushes back to the battle he is tackled midair by a large object. The two hit the ground, the second now apparently being Megatron himself. However, he was far larger than before, now dwarfing most Cybertronians, save Prime and a select few. A large cannon protruded from his left arm, and a pair of razor blades from his right.
"I must give you credit Optimus, you always were the brains of the operation. This formula for energon you created is simply delightful. I just had to come and THANK YOU IN PERSON!"
[5+5-3][5][1] Megatron lunged with his blades, but were caught inches from the torso by a lucky save from Optimus. "Well, you know me Megatron." Optimus retorts, tossing him aside with some effort. "I was never one to take credit!"
The battle is now officially
on.Bring down Magnus
As Hacksaw and Bulwark face off against Ultra Magnus, they are joined by none other than Starscream, leading a team of Decepticons. Starscream takes a shot at Magnus from afar. [5+4][6][4][2] Suddenly, he activates a program that sends his blaster into overdrive mode, hitting Ultra Magnus head on with a charged shot. The Autobot is sent hurtling into a nearby skyscraper, but emerges intact. (Level gained in Blaster Use)
Starscream's first bot fires a volley of missiles at its Autobot counterpart, [1+1] but misses entirely and knocks out a chunk of the same building Magnus emerged from a moment ago.
The second recruit wields a pair of blades and charges at one of Magnus' bots, avoiding the panicked counter shots. [1+1] Sadly, his aim is rather poor, and his foe managed to avoid any contact.
The third Decepticon, a tank, goes up against the faster Humvee. [5+1][2] A shot from the Decepticon hits within an inch of the lighter vehicle, but it's strong enough to resist any damage the shot would have done.
Autobot Actions:Band Kannon!
Despite his injuries, Blue Jay presses on towards his target, making shots as he goes. [1+2] None of them manage to hit, but he is nearly within reach now. Just a bit closer...
Whoa
After taking a few shots from SkyFall, Bulkhead peeks out to see how the battle is going. He encounters, of all things, Constructicons. He uses the cannon on his shoulder to try and suppress them. [6][5][5] He does rather well, hitting the bulldozer straight in the chest, knocking it to the ground. (+1 to Blaster Use, level gained)
Keep away
[6+4][1] As Ratchet attempts to fire on the Constructicons, his gun suddenly overheats and explodes on him. [6] He is knocked entirely unconscious, with shocking damage all across his body. The nanobots begin to do their work, but it will take some time before he's back on his feet.
Defeat Megatron
"It's time to finish this, Megatron." Optimus says, a pair of glowing energon blades coming out from his wrists. "You should have stayed dead."
"Funny, Prime." retorts the Decepticon, rising to his feet. "I could say the same to you."
"Enough talk, Megatron! Today, you fall for the last time!" Optimus takes off at a run, attacking with everything he has. [5+5][4][6][5+2] Optimus' eyes glow with a searing blue light, and he attacks with a startling ferocity. Bits and pieces of Megatron are hacked off in an instant. (+1 to Mastery gained!)
Protect Ratchet
Hot Rod shouts to Thundercrash that Ratchet needs help, and charges at the advancing quartet of Constructicons, firing at the bulldozer Bulkhead damaged. [4+2][3] The shot hits the Decepticon, but ricochets off the heavy armor.
Shoot down Codespark
[6+1][5][2] Forced to fight at ranged, Ironhide launches a grenade that detonates just to the side of his Decepticon foe, failing to do any damage.
Retaliate
Ultra Magnus charges from the building, swinging his hammer directly into Starscream's face. [2+4][4][6] He makes contact, shattering one Starscream's eyes and flattening his face as a whole. A feminine shriek is heard as Megatron's second is thrown down the street like a ragdoll.
His first bot opens fire from a distance, [1+1] unable to hit a chopper from such a large distance.
The second tries to take out his foe point-blank, seeing how they're already face to face. [3+1][3] The shot singes the Decepticon's armor, but not much else.
The third opens up with a grenade launcher, hoping to annihilate his foe. [3+1][6][5] He scores a direct hit, banging up parts of the plating.
