Turn 4: Your Lord and Master
SHOOT HIM IN THE CHEST REGION.
[3+2][4+1][5] Before Jolt can even get up you are on top of him, kicking him once in the side to keep him down while you get in a better position. You make a shot directly into his chest, destroying most of the components inside. Sparks occasionally leap out, and you can hear a pained groan slowly come from the nearly-dead Autobot.
Head to the base and start chopping the guns off the tanks.
As the tanks roll out of the base, you drive up behind them, moving in with your blade. [6][4][5], [6][4][6]
You draw your sword, chopping off the turret of the first tank within your path. The driver looks at you in terror, and begins to cuss in shock as you move on to your next target. This time you drive your blade into some key components, wiggling it around a moment. After a second or two the tank actually explodes, showering you and its former squadmates in flaming debris.
Head towards the base where Hacksaw saw those tanks and cause some destruction. When I get there, transform into normal mode ((what do they call it? normal mode?)) with flight capability activated, then shoot at stuff with the ion pistol.
[5] You quickly arrive at the base, hovering over the tanks, and catch a glimpse of your allies tearing them to shreds. [4] With considerable effort, you manage to stay in the air while in normal form. You pull out your ion pistol and take a shot at the tank below you. [6][5][5] With a lucky shot, the entire thing goes up in flames. (+2 to Vehicle Use, level gained! +1 to Blaster Use, level gained!)
"I've got you, Kannon!" I shout, sprinting over to him and Jolt. He may have Jolt pinned, but I'm not taking any chances. I stand over the Autobot and aim my machine gun at his head. "Slaggin' Autobot. You've already lost this war." I then open fire. If I'm successful, there shouldn't be much left of his head when I'm done.
You run over to your companion to find that Jolt is actually on the verge of death. You overcome your glee long enough to get in a shot at his face, hopefully to finish him off.
[6+1][1] You take a shot, but are surprised as the Autobot jerks his head to the side, avoiding the blows. With a massive strain he manages to throw Band Kannon off of him as well. He pants heavily, obviously on his last legs. Regardless, he doesn't plan to go down without a fight, and his lashes are still as deadly as before.
Dive behind the tanks, transform, lay waste to them from behind with my minigun. And rockets, if necessary.
[3] You arrive with your comrades, opening fire on the unsuspecting tanks. Unfortunately, your minigun doesn't have the accuracy to actually hit these tanks. Or maybe you're just unlucky.
KEEL HIM
[6][4][2] As Jolt prepares to take you all on, Omega leaps on his back, repeatedly stabbing him in his shoulder wound. After a moment he gets all the way through to the chest hole, effectively lopping off Jolt's arm. He falls to his knees, looking at where his arm used to be. His eyes grow wide, and with a groan he says "No. I can't. I have to protect the people. I have to... protect..."
With a final shudder, he rolls over and dies. His eyes darken, the light leaving them. Soon all the lights that you realize had illuminated his body until now are gone. The death of a Transformer is a terrible sight. But you notice something peculiar. His chest still has a faint blue light coming from within it.
Military Actions:
Kill the Decepticons
The remaining tanks, equipped with Sabot rounds, are prepared for an occasion such as this one, and open fire.
[2+1], [2+1], The two rearmost tanks take their shots at Shadow, who manages to keep away from them with his superior agility. [6][2] The third tank lines up a shot on Hacksaw from behind, but is distracted by the police cruiser speeding towards them...
Decepticon Actions:
Bring down the tanks
Both you and the tanks are surprised to find a police cruiser barreling down the street, sirens blazing. The tank pilots try to contact it, to no avail. However, you all hear what he is saying perfectly: "Cower, humans, for Lord Megatron's eye is upon you!" The Decepticon called Barricade transforms, drawing a pair of pistols from his sides. [4+2][5][[5]; [1+2] His first barrage lights up the tank closest to him in a billow of flame and dust. His second burst goes wide, hitting a nearby gas station. The explosion is visible for several miles. (+1 to Blaster Use)
THE CUBE!!
As you stand clustered over Jolt's corpse, a small dot is visible on the horizon. It approaches rapidly, and you soon recognize the vehicle as Cybertronian in origin. With a sudden realization of who is about to arrive you all drop to your knees. The jet, as the dot is now recognizable as a jet, slows to a stop, transforming into a massive steel behemoth with a terrifying snarl permanently engraved on his face. Lord Megatron stands before you.
His eyes scan you for a moment, before realizing that you are blocking his way to Jolt. He strides forward, batting Band Kannon into the debris as if he were an unwanted toy, shouting "Where is the cube?! Find it you fools!"
After a second, however, he finds what he is looking for. He bends down and picks up Jolt's corpse in a single hand. He looks it over, before carefully plucking a small blue cube from his chest. He turns to you gleefully, gesturing to the object.
"Do you know what this is, my loyal minions? THIS is a cube of refined energon. The very source of fuel I require if I am to finally conquer this pathetic planet once and for all. And you have given me the source! I scanned what remained of this filth's memory banks--good of you not to destroy his head, thus losing them forever." Thundercrash fidgets nervously. "Thanks to you, I have found the source of the refined energon! There is a plant, it is not far from here. It is to the north in a place called "Michigan." You are to go there with Barricade, and raid the factory. Be warned, though, as the Autobot Ratchet is there. He may have other friends as well. You shall find a plane outside the hangar," he gestures to a very large jet that you swear wasn't there before. "that can take you all there. Be sure not to let him be shot down, as he is somewhat important."
You all come to the sudden realization that you have sat here for a good 3 minutes listening to him rant, and you haven't been able to get in a single word.
