Skyblast drops out of the sky. The last he went on a strafing run against this Prime, he ended up nearly dead. So he's worried. He's definitely worried.
But he's not afraid for his life. He couldn't value his life highly and fly the way he does. Design envelopes were meant to be torn open.
He quickly extrudes his electro-blaster, snaps off a few shots, and pulls up.
Skippable.

There is the scent of fried electronics from the black semi, who just keeps on barreling down the crater, though he does groan a bit. He even seems to be accelerating. Looks like he just wants to run over Rodimus Prime.
Oh, wait, is that... it's a Frisbee of death! P-shew, p-shew! Scourge's disc-shooter shoots out it's discs, anomalously labeled with the G2 Autobot symbol. Just wait until some G2 Autobots show up. it'll be super-confusing then.
Scourge loves his disc-shooter. He doesn't have to announce when he's using it to use it.

Dead End-3 skids into a turn on top of the crater and evaluates the situation. Starscream is here!--

With so many cars and jets racing around, there are two possibilities: Either Ramulus is considered native wildlife, or sticks out like a sore redux-drive. He... doesn't give a damn which.
For now however, he's taken to the shade of one of the larger ridges still standing, observing silently.
//One Maximal in position// He whispers.
Not long until he receives Rodimus’s clear command //In, attack, back out, Ramulus. And everyone. Give it all you've got, but don't stick around after.//
Go in to beat a dead horse? The bot won’t call his own arsenal weak but still, the Bad Prime is almost godlike! Although.... He leaps back up and storms off, approaching the crater under a different angle.
If Rodimus’s evil twin is so hell-bent on positioning that stationary gun emplacement on the ridge of a crater wall, rely on Ramulus to send it straight back after him. Free of charge.
Right as the ibex bends its head and pushes off to impact, green flamed light pours from within the spark, loading the beast with an extra bound of kinetic power.

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a Dinobot!
It's Grimlock, to be exact, flying in and circling the crater once to see where the Fake Rodimus is. Ahah...there. Time to make this strike short and sweet, as per the plan. Plus, Grimlock looks like scrap as it is from his clash with his alternate. Can't afford to dilly-dally around with the devil-bot himself.
So, Grimlock decides to do this with all the grace and precision a Dinobot can muster. He first flies a distance away from the crater, then turns around to head back. He bends his arms, clutching his hands together, and turning one elbow toward Rodimus, cutting his thrusters off for a bit to let the momentum carry him down toward Rodimus at an angle. Once he gets lined out, the verniers (or whatever the Dinobots used to propel themselves) kick in again, bringing his speed up higher.
So...to keep any extra damage from happening, Grimlock broadcasts over allied broadband to warn the others. //Me Grimlock incoming! Look out if you near fake Rodimus!// 'Cause if he accidentally hurts the allies, that could be bad. Same for the regular Autobots. Then he'd get lectured, and that's no fun.
Either way, Grimlock soon impacts Rodimus-3 from the front, kicking up a good cloud of sand with the crash. However, the angle and landing location leave Grimlock in a slightly precarious position. Of course, not so precarious that the Dinobot Commander isn't afraid to run his vocalizer a bit.
"...me Grimlock back, and me take care of Fake Grimlock while me gone."

Never fear, Duskwing is here!
The blue and purple jet dives steeply out of the sun. Guns blaze as he strafes the evil Prime, and for good measure he launches a pair of cluster bombs. Sunlight glints on dark blue wings as he banks, pulling up and turning away...

From a thin wall of rock near the base of the crater, an outcropping thrown up ages ago and since given the most fragile coverings, a second flame-clad van bursts forth, engines growling. He breaks into the sunlight, his well-polished form fairly gleaming beneath the violet sky. There should be no problem telling the difference between the two Primes - light behaves normally around this one.
The growl of his engines becomes a roar as he rolls foward on a course designed to intercept his alternate as soon as he makes it to the bottom of the crater, which is now mere moments away.
He starts, voice confident, booming, there very definition of hero, "This is the end of the road, Rodimus Prime." A split-second after those words have left his mouth, he realizes how goofy that sounds in this case.
Oh well. Nothing to be done for it now.

Override's and Skyblast's attacks both strike true, but while Skyblast's attack manages to at least blast off part of his shoulder - the bit with the headlights - Override's attack doesn't seem to even leave a mark. Scourge's disks, however, leave several thick dents in his chest and further mangle Rodimus's spoiler where they hit. Duskwing's shots seem to have about much effect as Override's. His cluster bombs have some what more effect, causing further denting and knocking off some edges to his armor, but he's still largely in-tact by the time he hits the bottom of the crater...
...and is, in turn, slammed back into the crater side by Grimlock's impact.
"Good of you to take out my trash for me," he snarls at Grimlock, expression twisted into vicious fury. "Now I guess I should return the favor for your Prime!" With that, he summons his photon eliminator from subspace and lifts it, firing it full force at Grimlock.
Meanwhile, Ramulus slams into the already precariously perched battle-wagon, sending it toppling end over end down the inside of the crater wall. Rodimus glances up, instintually aware of the thing's location. Thanks to Grimlock's attack, he's already been thrown clear of its path, but some of those land-oriented types who've been making runs at him might have to scramble to get out of the way, depending on location.

Optimus makes his way into the crater. In one motion he transforms and leaps towards the evil Rodimus; his battle-mask covering his face and his axe extending.
Gripping the weapon tightly with both hands, he swings it down towards Rodimus as hard as he can.

Left in orbit by Skyfire*, a rather large metallic comet streaks down towards the battlefield. Blackout didn't like leaving Fleetwind in Autobot hands, allied or no, but the living must take priority. And so he begins his own attack run, in singularly unsubtle style.
//Incoming from orbit.//
Outer shell blazing with re-entry heat, Blackout, having reformatted from his more familiar helicopter form to the space-traveling protoform of his build type, crashes down with a spectacular shower of sand and gravel, tearing a long impact furrow down the side of the crater. Not waiting for momentum to play out, he transforms, leaping in long strides to keep balance, and draws out his blade, now resembling an enormous buzzsaw more than a tail rotor.
No clear shots with everyone rushing in. Blackout charges, drawing the blade back and swinging with all his might at the dark Prime. He doesn't break his stride in the least, however; if the blade is knocked from his grip, he'll leave it and continue on.
*With player permission.
Use of protoform mode ok'd by admin. Also, out of rotation and skippable unless stopped.

Does Rodimus Prime cut the pack and see the joker?
Because there is someone out there setting up the gun.
Behind cover of rocky terrain and under the safety of his cloak, Spinister has Hairsplitter and Singe combined. The weapons is rested atop a tripod, and Spinister peers through the sights, waiting for the call... and the right time.

Scourge swerves out of the way and shouts, "Scourge, transform!"
Geez, this transformation-calling is just the dorkiest thing ever.
Transformed, he leans forward slightly, hands on his knees. Scourge almost seems winded. he draws his Whip of Fury and his plasma gun in the other hand, and he prepares himself for another assault.

Lacking a reply from his Starscream, Dead End-3 concludes the most useful thing he can do is help keep Rodimus-3 off balance. Dead End revvs his engines and plunges back down the side of the crafter, heading after the lurid red and yellow Prime.
He comes in almost opposite the tumbling gun trailer, firing his vehicular blasters in passing again, swerving to avoid the aforementioned trailer as he circles the evil Prime, continuing to fire...

Gun emplacement brings along one Ramulus a-dragging. Halfway down, and the bot forces himself to the side of the downward path, switching in midair under a growling "Maximize!".
His cannon does not retreat to his back, but snaps to right hand, adding its own blasts to that of those trying to down Big, Red and Furious. Easier said than done; trying to avoid hitting Grimlock and any other bystander, so the shots are well calculated and measured.
There may be other enemies around, but just like Dead End-3, Ramulus isn't taking any chances
