Fandom Beast Wars Transformers: Resurgence

[Trektek]

Cybertron, the ancient and metal planet of the Transformers race has changed over the millennia. After being ravaged by war for countless ages, peace was eventually brought to this world. Known as the Pax Cybertronia, it was the breathing sigh that came after countless deaths on both sides of the Autobots and the Decepticons. With new technologies and ideas came a time known as the Great Upgrade where new protoforms for the transformer race came into being. They were known as the Maximals, valiant descendants of the Autobots and Predacons, conniving and vicious descendants of the Decepticons. Those that wished to remain in this new world and future of Cybertron formatted from Autobots and Decepticons into the smaller frames of the Maximals and Predacons who used far less energon and came with other advantages. Now their time has come and gone with the old guard leaving off to worlds far and wide, to retire and explore. These are the tales of warriors and poets, thieves and scientists. Who will they become in the coming times?

-------------------------------------------

On the holoscreen, bright as day were the two newscasters. One was glad in gold and silver with bright orange eyes and the other was Black and Teal. The gold and silver one spoke up as a news segment just ended detailing the newest plant growing experiments on Cybertron after discovering foliage growing deep beneath the surfaces.

"And that Wildbolt, is why we need to continue to explore the galaxy and brighten up our relationships with the human race whose interactions had been on the decline until after the Beast Wars."

"Right you are WheelDust, which actually brings us into our next segment." She motioned and an image of Megatron from the beast wars in his robot form, taller than life itself, behind a force field in his cell appeared on the screen. "This marks the 5 year anniversary of the capture of the notorious criminal who goes by Megatron."

"Haha. He certainly took the name Megatron, but he really doesn't look like a world conqueror, does he?"

"Not at all Dust. He was captured by the valiant crew of the Axalon, a group of scientists and explorers who managed to capture hardened criminals that had stolen the Golden Disk."

"Unfortunately the Disk was never recovered, but it's crazy what those explorers were able to recover."

"Most of the surviving crew of the Axalon are off world, but we managed to get a hold of the youngest member of the team for a brief interview, Cheetor."

An image of Cheetor appeared on the screen. "What's shaking cool cats?" He crossed his arms over his chest as he stroked the hair on his chin.

WheelDust spoke up. "We were wondering if you could tell us a little about your experiences during the Beast Wars?"

"Of course. Anything for the fans. It all started when we managed to get a lucky shot on the Darksyde.............."

Predacon Bar- Chrome Fire's Hole in the Wall

Chrome Fire's Hole in the Wall was a popular Predacon hangout, if nothing else than Chrome Fire was easy on the eyes and tended to give out free drinks when she was in a good mood. Plus, the Energon and other various things both legal and illegal could be found there through many different methods. Needless to say, the big news was the latest broadcast talking about the 5 year anniversary of the end of the Beast Wars and Megatron's capture which mostly soured the mood. Some Predacons were in different about the whole situation, but others were getting riled up.

A Predacon named MagnoBlade stood up on a table, clattering the drinks of his compatriots onto the floor. "Brothers and Sisters, hear my plea. Megatron was a great visionary and is capable of leading our people to greatness against the foul Maximals. But those fools that are the Tripredus Council are letting the Maximals keep him in a cell when he would be put to better use leading our vast armies against our enemies. Megatron should be free."

He motioned around the room as he looked around. "I need some nasty and terrifying bots who want to get ahead in this world to help me. Megatron will greatly reward those who are first in line. What do you say?"

----------------------------------------------------

Maximal Bar- Avalon's Rest

Avalon's Rest was a popular Maximal hangout where many came after a hard days work patrolling the local beat or coming back from offworld exploration and needing some time to relax and unwind to play a hand or two of cards.

All anyone could talk about was the anniversary and the heros. Some were still praising the heroes of the Beast Wars, but others were tired of hearing about them when there were plenty of others that have done great things since. We should be looking ahead and not to the past. Heroes are great, but that time is over and now is the time of pure science and discovery.

The interview with Cheetor was playing out in full swing and the cards and energon was flowing quite freely.

A smaller bot who was in his beast form of a Chinchilla was scurrying about and looking suspicious as he scurried to the corner of the room.

Among everything, with all the unrest in the Predacon forces, all the reports she had to make make, everything that she had to do on a daily basis, at least this “Hole in the Wall” bar was good at mixing drinks.

Panthera was sitting at the bar, drink in her servos, slowly swishing the liquid around in its glass as she downed her second drink of the night. Ignoring catcalls (hehe) and any mechs who tried to buy her more drinks. She was sick of that, to be certain.

She yawned wide, long fangs exposed to the nearby mech who had been looking her up and down for the past nano-cycle (minute?) and prepared to down the rest of her drink when someone jumped up on a table and started to rally everyone’s attention. She couldn’t help but to roll her eyes- probably another drunk idiot- and tipped her glass back to chug the last of her drink, but when the mech started speaking she almost choked on her drink, instead spitting it out back into the glass and a little bit on the bar too. The mech next to her clapped her on the back a couple times “to help” but she instead wheeled on him and hissed.

While she was reaching over to grab a rag from the behind the counter, she turned her audials in that direction. She wasn’t necessarily liking what she was hearing. Breaking Megatron out of prison? Was this guy serious? Did he really think anyone would be up for this kind of suicide missio-

“YES! FINALLY!” A booming voice from the corner revealed the sharkhound Fuzor in the back booth, a little tipsy, stumbling around in his beast form, green eyes foggy as he continued to shout, “Its about TIME someone DID SOMETHING!”

Of course, Carcharr signs up for that. Such a follower.

She mumbled to herself and wiped the bar down before tossing the rag back into the sink, and pressing a couple fingers to the side of her head. She rubbed her temples for a moment before reaching over and “accidentally” opening her COMM link with the Maximals.

Hopefully they would be able to hear what was being said and Panthera wouldn’t have to say a thing.

Predacon Bar- Chrome Fire's Hole in the Wall

Despite not technically being a Predacon Gatercron still occasionally visited Hole in the Wall for some of his deals, even if not all clientele liked him being there. Even he wasn't stupid enough to let just anyone know the location of his lab deep in an a mostly abandoned and unused part of Cybertron's innards. When MagnoBlade started talking about freeing and joining up with Megatron he at ignored the Pred but sudden he got an idea. With Megatron free not only would that be good for his business but if Gatercron ever got a chance to analyze him the data from a Transmetal II bot could be very useful.

Not even considering the negative consequences if the Maximals ever found out what he was doing, or what the Predacons could do to him to make sure he didn't betray them he spoke up. "I have no intention of joining him but the chaos that would follow his escape would be good for my business so I'm willing to help out."


----------------------------------------------------

Maximal Bar- Avalon's Rest
Since he was of-duty Oxhoof was hanging around in of his favorite bars when Cheetor's interview came on. Personally he was in between the two camps when it came to his opinion on the constant coverage of the Beast Wars soldiers, after all just because others had also accomplished impressive things didn't mean what happened in the past was no longer important.

While he paid attention to the interview he eventually noticed the chinchilla bot in the corner of the room. Curious as to what he was up to Oxhoof got up and headed straight to the corner the chinchilla tried to hide in. "And what are you up to, trying to be all sneaky like that?"

BLINDSIDE [Chrome Fire's Hole in the Wall]
"... And then I said, 'Looks like they're gonna have to glue you back together, in the Pit!' Are you even paying attention?"

Blindside had been telling a story to his bar mate at Chrome Fire's Hole in the Wall for a good twenty breems now, and all through that time he had struggled to hold their attention. Granted, it was a very over-embellished story, and there had been a game of Cube on the telly all night, but still, he thought his badass one-liner deserved more of a reaction than the other mech's "Hm?" Grumbling, the Predacon turned back to his engex, the crest on his head tinted red with emotion.

Things were boring. Blindside was running out of places to break into, running out of stories to exaggerate... running out of engex. He swapped his now empty glass with the full glass of his bar mate when they weren't looking (it was a Mood Whiplash). He needed some excitement in his life, or else he felt like he was going to shut down.

The sound of glasses clattering came suddenly, and he felt his left hand grow strangely wet. Some Predacon- Magno Blade, he realized; he had seen that guy around before- had climbed up onto the bar and started giving a speech about... freeing Megatron? At first, Blindside thought the big lug was just high off his drinks, but as he talked, he realized that he was being sincere. And he had to admit that he had a point: after Megatron's imprisonment, the Predacons at large had been left rudderless, purposeless. To have some direction again would be a very good thing for both him and his faction.

Plus, he had never broken into a Maximal prison before. This should be fun.

In response to Magno Blade's call for volunteers, Blindside drew his Sticky Grappler and fired three enthusiastic shots from it into the ceiling.

Quickstrike
Maximal Bar - Avalon's Rest​

Quickstrike was sitting alone at the bar, taking the occasional sip from his glass of Energon, when the interview with Cheetor came on. He let out an exasperated sigh. It seemed that no matter where a bot went, there was some other bot jabbering on about the anniversary of the end of the Beast Wars and it had put him in a sour mood. The Beast Wars was an era that he would personally prefer to forget completely.

Quickstrike was one of the few Maximal's on Cybertron who had actually participated in the conflict. However, rather than being hailed a hero like the crew of the Axalon, Quickstrike was treated with either suspicion or disrespect by the majority of his fellow Maximals. All because, for reasons almost entirely out of his control, he had had the misfortune of fighting for the Predacons during the conflict.

Originally in stasis aboard the Axalon, his stasis pod was ejected into space when the the ship was shot down over prehistoric Earth. His stasis pod eventually crash landed on the planet, damaging it and causing it to malfunction. Replication errors and significant data track loss caused Quickstrike personality to be dominated by the aggressive natures of his combined beast mode and he was easily swayed to join the Predacons. Thankfully with the Axalon's return to Cybertron, Maximal scientists had managed to restore his true spark given personality. Not that most of the other Maximal's seem to care mind you, but that wouldn't stop Quickstrike from making the most of his second chance.

It was that moment that he got a signal from his com-link. It was from Panthera. Reaching over to it, he turned it on. "Quickstrike." He said speaking into the comm before awaiting a response. After several seconds with no response from her, Quickstrike began to suspect something was up. Panthera could handle herself, he thought to himself, so perhaps there was something else she was trying to relay? Quickstrike began to focus on what was going on in the background...

Avalon’s Rest
Beacon was stationed towards the back of the room surveying all that’s as going on. She hadn’t found much interest in the story of Cheetor. Of course he had participated in the so called Beast Wars, but that was of no interest to her.

Currently, she was staring at a small maximal who had failed to get the bribe she was looking for from a gambler. He had often spent his time gambling or drinking. She wanted the latter of course. More entertaining then a bit losing all his money.
“Now tell me once more why you let him gamble most of his money?” Beacon asked.
“I um I,” The bot began before Beacon slammer his head on the table.
“Wrong answer. Go fix it,” She threw him towards the entrance.
Kicking back Beacon sat without fear in the place full of Maximals. Some were under her influence, others were preoccupied.​

MagnoBlade gave a delicious smirk as a handful of fellows came forward to support his plan of freeing Megatron. It was off to a good start already. "Welcome aboard to your magnificent future." He began to motion around the room and waved them all forward as he jumped down off the table and stood up to his full height of 5''10'', nothing super fancy, but it was height and he liked it.

"I'm MagnoBlade, this is GridSlam and IvoryTusk." He motioned to his two compatriots that stood up from their seats at the table that he just jumped off of. GridSlam was a transmetal who looked more vehicle than Animal, perhaps he was a Wolf/Truck hybrid of sorts? IvoryTusk looked like he was originally a Maximal but had an eye patch over his left eye and two short tusks in his robot mode.

"You won't regret all the accolades and positions of power that you stand to gain with this jailbreak." It seemed to him that everything was already going swimmingly already. With a crew like this, they would definitely succeed and free his mightiness. Why, he might even get to claim that wonderful second in command spot and serve directly under Megatron.

"It doesn't matter what sort of reasons any of you have for joining, whether its out of boredom or glory or invention, what matters is that you are here. Now let's head to my "headquarters' and you can tell me what you are capable of."

He began to lead them outside before he would lead them to his place of operations. Lingering just a bit in case anyone wanted to question him or argue about something.

The Chinchilla bot seemed to almost jump out of his skin with fright as the Large Ox hoof came over and addressed him. His eyes started to dart around as he looked for a way out, only to realize that he was trapped and could not escape even if he wanted to. "I...uh...wasn't doing anything....yeah." Shifty seemed to be this bots middle name as he brushed up against a nearby table and dropped something. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a listening device of sort sort, and this bot was clearly placing them around the bar.

A couple of larger tougher looking Maximals looked over from the bar at Beacon after hearing the small commotion over at her table and started to walk over. One of them started to speak almost just out loud so that everyone could hear, "What's a dirty stinking Pred doing in Avalon's Rest? Isn't there somewhere else that you can scurry to?"

"I don't know, friend, I think that she might have gotten lost and needs some proper motivation to go elsewhere." He started crackling his knuckles as they approached menacingly, knocking her drink over the table as they got closer.

Beacon - Avalon’s Rest
Beacon laughed at the bots. Of course they didn’t know her.
“Ya know we can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Beacon told them.
She put on the phase shifter and set it to pass through things. If all went according to plan, they would simply pass through her and hit one another. Standing up, Beacon looked the two bots square in the optics.
“Why don’t you just go back to your table and forget you ever saw me? It will make life a lot easier on the both of you.”

[explosiveKitten]

Ah! Quickstrike! At least SOMEONE said something!

She hoped that he could hear everything that was being said, and just to make sure that he could, she decided to take the calculated risk of moving closer as they talked to everyone.

She watched as the group walked away, Carcharr transforming to his sharkhound form, and stumbling out of the bar, and Panthera allowed a few moments before she casually downed the rest of her drink and made her way out of the bar as well.

She dropped to all fours and shifted into her panther form, jet black and stealthy, and began to stalk the group in the shadows, just a little too far for them to hear her.

Quickstrike, did you hear any of that? They’re planning to break Megatron out of prison! What do I do?!

As he followed MagnoBlade and his friends Gatercron saw no reason to hide his abilities or weaknesses, but made sure not to mention his desire to analyze Megatron if he ever got the chance. "I'm not the best combattant and my altmodes are practically useless here on Cybertron thanks to a lack of water, but I have my slagmaker cannon and Tail drill." As he mentioned his melee weapon he raised his left arm and snapped the top part of his tail, which was attached to the side of his arm, over his hand and spun it around like a drill. "I can also use my cannon in beastmode and have acces to a spark extractor."

Oxhoof nearly facepalmed when the Maximals started harassing Beacon, he wasn't happy with a Pred being there either but she hadn't been doing anything wrong. In fact the chinchilla was more suspicious in his eyes, still he knew he had to be ready to break things off if the got serious. Hoping to hit two birds with one stone he tried to grab the sneaky bot in order to drag him to table closer to where the fight seemed to be breaking out. He knew full well that using his Power Bonds would make it easier but he wanted to keep them in reserve.

BLINDSIDE [Chrome Fire's Hole in the Wall]
The tiny Predacon took the opportunity to size up the bots he'd be working with on this operation. Immediately he was displeased. Most of them were very large and burly and not built at all for stealth, something which would be needed above all else if they were going to break into a high-security Maximal prison where Megatron was being stored. He began to wish that he had a cloning ability so that he could just pull this off all by himself. But he didn't have a cloning ability, so he would just have to suck it up, buttercup, and get used to these guys.

Time to brag. "Ay, if you plan on breaking into places, then you'll be glad to have me. Ain't no place I can't crack into, and with my invisibility power, they'll never see me leave."

Quickstrike
Maximal Bar - Avalon's Rest​

Quickstrike was doing his best to listen to his comm when his concentration was broken by a commotion from one of the tables behind him. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw two large Maximals harassing what appeared to be a Predacon. As curious as he was about why there was a Con at Avalon's Rest, he didn't have time to dwell on the issue. Whatever Panthera was trying to relay was, for the moment, the more pressing matter.

Just as he returned his attention to his comm, Panthera finally spoke up. It seemed the Predacons were planning a good ol' fashion jailbreak.

"Don't do anythin' stupid." Quickstrike replied. "You ain't no use to anyone, darlin', if you git your tin-plated tuchus slagged. Keep eyes on them but just hang back for now. I'm on my way."

Standing up from his stool, Quickstrike surveyed the bar. He considered telling the other Maximal's about what was transpiring but decided against it. He didn't need them slowing him down. He and Panthera should be more than enough. And with that, virtually unnoticed by the others at the bar, Quickstrike left.

MagnoBlade looked very happy as he clasped his hands together. "Yes, wonderful. Having brawn as well as brains and even stealth as well. I think that will just about do it." He looked around just to make sure that there wasn't anyone else lingering nearby before speaking any further. "Alright, this way to our temporary base where we can go over all the specifics of the plan. Gotta make sure that this is completely airtight if we wanna break out the big man."

He chuckled as he started to lead them quickly down twists and turns through various alleyways and under low hanging debris until they made it to a run down looking clearly abandoned warehouse structure. "Home sweet home. At least until we break out Megatron. Come inside, get comfy."

MagnoBlade, GrimSlam, and IvoryTusk walked inside the structure. As the others came in, they would see a far nicer inside that has been fortified and furnished with just about most things that a burgeoning rebellion could want. Two Predacon repair Tanks and One Maximal Repair Pod lay on the right side of entering. Six areas sectioned off into separate rooms with beds for powering down. A rack of weapons of various types, though low quality. A large computer screen with two smaller screens to the side of it.

GridSlam plopped himself down in a nearby chair and IvoryTusk leaned himself against a nearby wall. MagnoBlade sat at a seat at a round table that was in the middle of the room where he punched in some codes and pulled up a diagram of the prison. "Now to start with, this is the Maximal Maximum Security Prison. A place that under normal circumstances would be difficult to break into." He changed the diagram to an image of a bunch of wires and circuits. "I've received very important information that the Maximals will be undergoing an intense and thorough upgrade of the Prision's security system. Now I know what you are all thinking, Why MagnoBlade, wouldn't security be tighter than ever before? And yes, you'd be right. However with the security system being upgraded, the sensors would be down. And that's when this sneaky friend of ours would come in." He motions to Blindside. "While most of us cause a distraction outside, drawing away most of the guards, you sneak in with one of the others and free Megatron from his cell. Then we all get the heck out of dodge and escape back here." He looks around, waiting for reactions and comments.

One of bots turned to the other and smacked his chest. "You hear that? We should just forget that we ever saw her. And in our bar, too." The second bot chuckled menacingly as he stared down Beacon and got ready to throw a punch.

Oxhoof was able to grab the chinchilla bot by the scruff of the neck and prevent him from escaping as he so desperately tried to, thrashing back and worth. "Wait. Don't take me. Ah!" He started to flail around making little chittering noises. The larger bot was able to make it over to the table and that seemed to stop the two bots for the moment.

One of them turned to Oxhoof, "You want to get in on this? She's stinking up the joint with her Predacon airs."

 

[_Exodus_]

“Well fellas,” Beacon commented.
She placed her hand on one of their chests.
“Big bots like yourself should spend a little more time using your heads then arms.”
Beacon walked right through them heading out the door.
“See you later.”

 

[explosiveKitten]

Pfft, my tuccus ain’t tin. I got buns of steel, “sweet cheeks”!

She mumbled as she clambered along, following the group quietly. Her large paws padding along as she watched the mechs from afar. They were talking to each other quietly, which was unfortunate for her eavesdropping.

I can’t believe that these guys are stupid enough to do this. I mean, really? Breaking into a... a maximum security prison to break out one of it’s of its highest priority prisoners. Honestly, since Megatron was imprisoned, these guys just have no direction.

She came to a stop when the group entered a building, and she cursed under her breath.

Slag! They went into some building... I’m going closer.

The black panther crouched low to the ground and stalked along the road, looking around to make sure that she was avoiding detection. She crept close to the building, found a window and crouched beside it, out of sight.

MagnoBlade's base

Once inside the base the first thing Gatercron noticed, besides the inside being much nicer than the outside, was the Maximal torture chamber. He made a mental note to himself that after the whole Megatron business he should get try to get his hands on one of those. Before he could ask where the three Preds got it Magnoblade, started explaining their plan to break Megatron out. "I see, though I don't believe we'll be able to cause a sufficient distraction by ourselves. Maybe the infiltrator can break several of the other prisoners out as well, you know to help keep the guards occupied."

----------------------------------------------------

Maximal Bar- Avalon's Rest

When one of the troublemakers basically threatened him Oxhoof reached for his Power Bonds, but the Predacon seemingly fixed the situation herself by simply phasing through her assailants. "Well, you don't see that every day." Taking the chance to focus on the more serious but not as immediate threat Oxhoof sat down at a table near the three hotheads. "All right back to you mister. I noticed that bug you dropped, so start talking." He set the chinchilla down but didn't let go of him since his smaller size would make it very hard for Oxhoof to chase him if it came down to that.

MagnoBlade's eyes lit up brighter at the suggestion from Gatorcron, "Yes, I think that would be a great addition to the plan. Create a distraction, get out Lord Megatron, cause some delicious chaos and perhaps even get some new members for our rebellion against the Maximals." He moved over to the screen and started punching in some numbers to calculate the plan.

IvoryTusk pulled himself back up from against the wall, "I'm going for a walk while you hammer out the details of this plan, boss."

MagnoBlade waved him outside with his left hand as he continued to type with his right, "Fine. Just don't wander too far. I don't want you causing problems like giving away our position."

The husky bot left the building and went outside to look up at the stars. "Ahh. That's the stuff." He said to the world at large as he pulled out a container and took a sip, his form flashing for a moment of a purple haze.

The two large Maximals looked shocked as the large Predacon phased through them and walked out the door. They remained in shock as Oxhoof sat down at the table where she had just been sitting and decided to at least for the moment, take a seat themselves to recover from the experience. They were not that wordly and had not seen abilities such as that before. They had wanted to rough up a Predacon just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. A couple of hot headed bots that should have known better.

The chinchilla bot was still trying to struggle from his grasp, even as he was being questioned. "Stamp...Stampede....Stampede'll trash me if you don't let me go." He quickly covered up his mouth as he realized what he just said.

A small sized centipede bot came out from the shadows, one of the many minions that support Beacon. As a small time crime boss, she has minions just about everywhere, on every side of the tracks so to speak. The better to gain information on a variety of subjects. It crawled up to Beacon as she was walking out of the bar and crawled up her side and towards her ear. "My lady, word on the street is that there is a group trying to break Lord Megatron out from high security Prison."

 

[_Exodus_]

“Why didn’t you alert me sooner?” Beacon scolded, “This should be great for business.”
Beacon would have transformed. A mental slap to the face. Where was water on cybetron? Deep below the ground that’s about it. One of the many perks of having a water alt form. Sigh.
“Where’s Roadbuster?” Beacon asked. He was one of the few bots who escorted her around. She especially liked Roadbuster since he could fit her and break any roadblock in the way.

MagnoBlade's base

Gatorcron honestly didn't have any more suggestions to make to the plan at the moment and only half paid attention to what MagnoBlade was saying. Instead he wondered if there was a way he could profit from the breakout itself. The only thing he could think off was that he might get lucky and somehow end up being able to capture some temporarily disabled 'bots to use as test subjects, but he doubted he would learn anything he could use for Project U2 by studying average Maximals and Predacons. In fact the main reason he had his lab underground was to look for the Cityformers that were rumored to be in the Great war, in order to study how they transformed. Of course he knew that even if he found one he would have to deal with figuring out how to compare their ancient systems with modern ones, scale the result up far enough and then somehow transfer his own spark into his new body.

Oxhoof immediately realized he had an in with the chinchilla 'bot thanks to him misspeaking and mentioning his employer's name. "You know I have some connections with the police and I'm sure they would be willing to protect you in exchange for info. In fact I'd be willing to bring you to the nearest police station myself." He hoped his offer would be taken since it was unlikely that this Stampede didn't have anyone keeping an eye on his captive.

As Quickstrike left Avalons's Rest, he immediately shifted into his beast mode. As a wolf, he could cover the distance far quicker than his robot mode. Not wanting to attract any undue attention, Quickstrike kept to the back alleys and rooftops as he headed in the direction of Panthera's last known location; Chrome Fire's Hole in the Wall.

"Panthera, I need ah update on your location?" Quickstrike said speaking into his comm. He wouldn't be of much use to her, if he couldn't find her in the first place.

[explosiveKitten]

I’m sending my coordinates now.

She peeked up so just the top of her head poked up in the window. Her bright blue optics scanned the inside of the building, watching the mechs as they meandered about, poking at things and talking amongst themselves.

I can’t hear a thing that they’re saying. She mumbled, more to herself than anyone else as she crouched out of sight again, huffing in frustration as she tried to work out her next course of action.

She snapped to attention when one of the Preds from inside made his way out, she backed into the shadows and watched as the con wandered off. She raised an eyebrow as he did, then turned and watched the mech go.

... I’m going to do something incredibly stupid.

She turned and looked around, then quickly transformed back to bot mode as she walked over to the door of the building. Was she really going to do this? ... apparently.
She made sure to keep her COMM link open so Quickstrike, just so he could everything being said.

“Well, I’d say that your position has already been compromised, big bot.”
Panthera said, as she opened the door and leaned on the doorframe, her arms crossed over her chassis.
“YOU! I saw you at the bar. You were ignoring us, what are you doing here?” Carcharr questioned, aiming his harpoon gun at her, only for the black cat femme to knock it away with a scoff.
“Oh please, put the toys away, Sharkboy.”

Having made her presence thoroughly known, she walked right into the room and looked at the assembled cons. Carcharr, obviously, Magnoblade, Gatercron, Gridslam, Blindside. A veritable smorgasbord of baddies all to be exposed.

“I couldn’t help but to notice that your ragtag group of cons is missing a very key element of any good infiltration,” Panthera stayed, walking over to Magnoblade and coyly pinching his chin before moving on, “A little feminine charm.”

“Besides, if you want to get in there and get out, is sending in one measly little chameleon-“ She looked at Blindside andin an exaggerated manner whispered, “No offense~! Really your best idea? I say two stealth bots are always better than one. So, I suppose you could say... I’m here to help?”

Pinching his chin as his "superior" ran through the plan, Blindside crinkled his brows in disappointment. Was that really it? They'd cause a distraction while he did the dirty work of sneaking inside and setting Megatron free? Perhaps his initial enthusiasm to do this was misplaced. "The map is fine and all, pal, but personally, I prefer to know exactly what to expect when breaking into a place. What sort of time frame are we lookin' at for this jailbreak? If it allows, I'd appreciate being let loose to do a firsthand investigation of the prison complex."

When the femme made herself and her intentions known, Blindside scowled. He definitely did take offense to her "measly little chameleon" comment; he was no puny lizard, he was Blindside! The greatest Predacon infiltrator this side of the Vinvissius Canals! But she was right; two stealthy bots would be better than one. Internally, he begrudgingly decided to work with her.

MagnoBlade gave the matter a serious consideration when Blindside brought it up. After all, they were going to need to be as precise as possible if they were going to pull it off, and they wouldn't get a second shot at this. If they messed it up, security would probably get doubled...no tripled, and then where would they be? After all, this is a very small window for them.
"From the information that I've acquired, it seems that from the start of the upgrade, it'll be 5 Megacycles, give or take for the upgrade to take affect. If you think that you can sneak in before hand and actually gather some additional Intel, well, that'll be perfect."

The bot almost jumped as this pantherbot came almost out of nowhere and started speaking to them. "How did you find us? I've been very careful at keeping this place hidden from everyone." He started to look around as he watched the posturing of Carcharr. There was no way that his two retainers were spies, and the others didn't seem the type. Perhaps she merely followed them.

"Hmm. Yes. Two bots for stealth are better than one." He smirked. "Welcome aboard. Now. Did you hear any of our plans while you were lurking about?"

"Roadbuster is a few blocks away. I...I'll call him." The small bot started mumbling into it's communicator and not a few minutes later, a large bus shaped bot pulled up. "All ABOARD!!!" A loud booming voice announced as though he were a train. Roadbuster wasn't exactly the brightest nut in the barrel, but he got the job done for the local crime boss.

"Where to Boss?"

Qucikstrike could see this going on from up above on the rooftops of nearby buildings. There were a couple flying bots in the air, but none seemed interested in what he was doing or why. Down below, he could see a few Predacons meandering about and some huddled in alleyways around the occasional energon cube.

"Could you?" The small chinchilla bot seemed to be actually considering the offer. "Cause Stampede has eyes everywhere. But...if you think you can keep me safe. I'll go with you." He seemed to lighten up considerably and stopped trying to scoot away from the cop. "I don't wanna get scrapped."​

The female panther Con showing up out of nowhere might have been suspicious but Gatorcron believed the whole thing was just showing off her skill, something he could respect so he didn't think of much more of it. In fact it made him wonder if he should reveal more of what he capable to ensure future jobs even though he probably wasn't gonna get paid for this one.

Proving his worth to these Predacons could prove useful even if their plan failed, but on the the other hand he didn't want to lose a lot of Maximal business either so it wouldn't do to be out on the frontlines. When MagnoBlade mentioned the upgrade again he got an idea. "What exactly does this upgrade entail? I might be able to buy us more time." Of course what he didn't consider was that any device he used could easily be recognized as his handiwork by someone who knew what to look for.

"I'mma be honest if stampede has as much influence as you say he might have a few cops on the take, so it will be dangerous anyway but I'm gonna hand you to someone I trust." Oxhoof saw no reason to lie about the risks to the chinchilla but at the same time tried to reassure him as much as he could. Still he didn't want to risk the guy getting cold feet and running off at the earliest convenience so he took out his power bonds and tried to cuff the other Maximal. "The nearest station is out though, I don't personally know anyone there."

Apelinq had been back from his Wreckers mission for quite a while. The Maximal High Council left him alone for a while that is until every other scientist failed to get them the answers, they wanted then they turned to Apelinq.

Apelinq was ordered to study Megatron to find out the secret to Megatron's Transmetal status. He wasn't Transmetal nor was he a typical Transmetal 2, his second transmetalization wasn’t achieved in the same way as Cheetor, Blackarachnia, & the clone of Dinobot, it was more like Optimus Primal. Where Optimus Primal Optimalized becoming almost entirely technological, Megatron became a Transmetal 2. Apelinq hated the name Transmetal 2 it was just so pedantic of course Megatron coined the term, so what do you expect from a dimwitted fool. He had sensors all over the room to catch every possible angle. If he could, he would have cut Megatron open and shoved some sensors inside of him. He studied the methodologies of all the previous failures. They been working on the problem for months mostly from Apelinq's lab. Once in a while they would go to the prison to perform experiments or take samples. Today they were in Apelinq's lab running tests on samples.
