Welcome to Gaia! ::

Read the first post to catch up on the story so far as well as the players taking part.

After a failed attempt to mislead the Decepticon army from Autobot City, Jazz, Disc and Replay are cornered in the mountains. The Decepticons have sent out a search party to find the saboteurs. Hot in pursuit of the Autobots are a team of Decepticon scouts led by Dead Aim and ShadowWolf. Meanwhile, Jazz's radio for help summoned Skyfire to drop off the rescue team of Sunstreaker, Sideswipe and Radical.

The battle ravaged Ark is no longer a tactically sound base of operations. Heavy Decepticon attacks have left the surrounding area scorched and battle ravaged. The mountain itself is on the verge of collapse. With a stead supply of energon supplied by the world governments, Autobot City is on its way to being a reality. Fresh soldiers have joined the ranks of the battle hardened veterans to bolster the defensive ranks as well as to assist in the completion of the new base. Leading the build operation is Ultra Magnus, seconded by Kup. Optimus Prime has taken charge of defensive measures against the Decepticons, his close lieutenants being Prowl and Jazz.

Meanwhile, the Decepticons are plotting a strike. The massive supply of Energon is a beacon, beckoning for Megatron and his crew to plunder. Summoning reinforcement of his own, Megatron has developed multiple plans. He has decided to strike the heavily guarded Energon repository. This attack will be hard and fast so the Decepticon leader has enlisted the bigs guys to be part of the fight, Devastator, Bruticus and Menasor. In addition, Megatron plans to thrust the killing stroke on the Autobot's current, ailing base, the Ark. Using demolition experts such as Rumble, Megatron plans to bury the Autobot base into the ground.

Transformers in the field:

Autobots:

Name: Replay (Raevir)
Specialty: Data collector
Altmode: Digital Video Recorder
Abilities: Create three dimensional virtual images, able to focus within a three kilometer radius.
Weaknesses: Weak physical combat skills, slow to move distances without transportation.

Name: Disc (shirobutterfly)
specialty: Firearms, and just plain luck
Altmode: Dark blue Motorbike
Abilities: Know everything when it comes to guns. To bombs to flame-throers.
Weaknesses: Cares too much. Often finds it hard to punch the enemy because of her big heart. That is why she likes guns so much.

Name: Quickeye (Ra8 cool
Function: Infiltration expert for Autobot
Altmodes:Ninja bike
Specialty: Manipulation and stealth
Weapons:Standard issue wristmounted assault rifles and several hidden spygadgets
Strengths:Can get anywhere unnoticed due to his cloaking device, and is an expert hacker.
Personality: Friendly and easy going when he's posing as Quickeye, but is silent and grimm as Shadowwolf. His true motivations are unknown, but he seemingly does anything that furthers his own goals, including escalating the Autobot/Decepticon war even further.
Weaknesses: He has a light armor that is easily damaged, and doesn't exactly make friends with his manipulative ways.

Name:Radical (adib)
Motto:"The truth speaks for itself - I'm just a messenger!"
Primary Function: Warrior
Alternate Mode: Green Mazda RX-8 (with spoiler)
Weapons/Abilities: His time spent as a sculptor has given him a keen eye, and he can disable opponents with pinpoint accuracy at a range of 5 miles. He wields a standard-issue photon rifle - not particularly powerful, but quite efficient in his hands. In vehicle mode, he has a top speed of 300 mph for up to 5 hours at a time. His fuel efficiency is exceptional.
Ratchet's analysis seems to indicate that Radical has the ability to channel his spark energy to alter the laws of physics in a localized space. This "telekinesis" has proved useful as he has worked to develop it.
Weaknesses: Radical is not particularly strong or durable, nor does he bring any exceptional firepower to bear. Prolonged use of his ability is exhausting on him - he has been known to be out-of-commission for cycles after any extreme exertion, though

Name: HumVee (Tanis)
Altmode: Military Hummer
Specialy: Ground Assulat (Warrior.)
Weapons Robot Mode: General Issuse Plasma Pistol, Shoulder mounted Gatling Gun, Energon Sword.

Weakness: He is preticulary slow in speed. Takes alot of fuel, but he hold more then average. Over eagerness to battle my get him in over his head, which combined with his other weakness, lead to teammates bailing him out, but he always returns the favour.

Bio: Copycat emerged seemingly out of nowhere. His bare robot form, is purely silver and is rather weak. However, once close to another Transformer, he can assume their transformation, weapons and capablilties. For example, he could mimic Skywarp. He would assume Skywarps colors, get the cockpit on his chest, the wings on his back and the blasters on his arms, as well as the capability to teleport just like Skywarp.

I'm just remaded Dead-aim cuz I posted him awhile ago and now I had to change him

As Dead-Aim recovered form the space bridge jump he had just had he looked around and saw other decepticons as he pulled his circuist back together no one had told him when you jump he messes with your systems alittle "So What are we doing I need to destroy some autobots now" he said to any decepticon that would hear him

Jazz turned to the small Autobot, "Good to have you with us, Disc."

"We'd better hurry," Replay pushed. Jazz agreed. The field leader transformed into a Porsche and Replay became a digicam which sat in the passenger seat.

"We'll send reinforcements as soon as they're gathered here." Prime assured the trio.

At top speed, the group intercepted the Decepticon forces in a few minutes. Stopping at the peak of an overhead cliff, they scouted the enemy position. "They're still making progress," Replay deciphered. "I can create the holographic image just past this cliff so they won't notice the change."

"Time to do your thing, cam-bot!" Jazz ordered. Replay went to camera mode and sprouted tripods to hold himself up. The rocky plains are replaced by more rocky plains, only these force travellers to follow a more linear path. Far in the distance the image of construction could be barely made out. It was a holo-construction, but the untrained eye wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

"I'm totally vulnerable while I'm projecting," Replay pointed out.

"Disc, you and I will run reconaisance. The Decepticpunks won't spot us up here unless to go pokin' 'round the cliff. Make sure no one gets up here," Jazz commanded, "... and if they do... take them out."

As dead-Aim looked around none of the decepticons really cared "well thanks alot guys"he said as he walked around the base looking for something to do.

Replay radioed in to Jazz, "Jazz, we have a problem."

"What is it?" the field commander replied.

"The enemy troops stopped moving," the camera answered.

"Well, that's a good thing, isn't it? Reinforcements will be here soon," Jazz responded.

"Well, good in that way, but in the meantime, we're surrounded..." Replay explained.

"Good point," Jazz opened a channel to Disc, " Disc, regroup on the mountain top we're going to lie low until back up arrives."

Dead-Aim heard the siganl from Shadowwolf "this is Dead-Aim any use of a sniper master wolf"he said over the comm always barging about his skills with a rifle but they were true he was a master as it were
