Open.
It's killing Kup not to go running right towards Bridge Alpha. Killing him. However, the Event Horizon has multiple back-up bridges, and as one of the pilots on board, it makes sense for him to secure one of the others. It may just be coincidence that he's running for the secondary bridge closest to the fight, and thus most likely to get attacked next.
Maybe.
Probably not.

The Buffalo MPCV isn't a particularly fast for a land vehicle. However, being able to move at speeds equivalent to his alt mode makes Bonecrusher surprisingly fast for a non-flying Decepticon his size. It's at close to top speed that he comes skating around a corner to spot Kup. His armour scrapes the far wall, not having the grace to make sharp turns at high speeds, and his foot-tires leave dark tracks on the orange floor.
Quickly regaining his balance, he lets out a gravelly war cry and charges Kup, his legs pumping to bring him back up to speed.

When Bonecrusher crashes into sight, Kup looks startled for about half a second, then he grins. It's a sort of borderline manic grin with a nasty edge that suggests he's about to engage in violence... and is looking forward to it.
"Been wanting a chance to tear into you, after what you been doin' to the others," he roars, running to meet Bonecrusher head-on, but ducking low - for the moment, he plans to aim for ripping one of Bonecrusher's legs from beneath him, but he'll be fine with attempting to plow through any other body part he encounters.

Bonecrusher's only retort for Kup as they charge towards each other is a very eloquent, "Hraaaaugh!" Then, as the distance closes, he ducks a bit himself and flings out an open-palmed hand, trying to smash it into Kup's face.
Brick wall, meet... another brick wall!

Kup himself shifts, now straightening just enough that the open palm hits his chest rather than his face. This dents the armor, but puts Kup in a better position to try and grab a hold of Bonecrusher's arm. Should he succeed in the grab, he'll continue running forward, attempting, now, to pull Bonecrusher off balance by yanking his arm beneath the big guy.
The thought occurs to him that perhaps this wasn't the best way to approach this fight - from what he's seen, Bonecrusher's reality seems a bit more focused on toe to toe combat than his own, and tough and strong as Kup is, Bonecrusher's larger size and reach may well deliver him the edge if he's got the skill to back it up. The veteran pushes that thought aside - no time for distractions like that now, and it's not like passageways of the Event Horizon are really ideal for his trusty musket, anyway.

The shock of impact that goes through Bonecrusher's arm is stronger than he expected. He doesn't even go flying or get bowled over. This Autobot is tougher than he looks! And he has a hold on his arm and is trying to drag him off-balance.
None of that now! Bracing himself, Bonecrusher fights against Kup's downward tug with an upward tug of his own trying to lift his arm high enough to pull Kup's feet off the ground.

When Kup is trying to move forward and Bonecrusher pushing him back, Kup has the benefit of traction from the contact between his feet and the floor. With Bonecrusher pulls up, however, Kup doesn't have this benefit. Kup resists as much as he can...
...for just a moment, and then he lets go.
He immediately follows that move with an uppercut towards Bonecrusher's head, attempting to capitalize on any moments off-balance that Bonecrusher might have.

The Autobot moves fast enough that Bonecrusher doesn't react in time to avoid his punch, Kup's fist colliding with his chin and jolting his head back. It's a stunning blow, sending Bonecrusher stumbling back a few paces, but he's not too stunned to return the blow, aiming his own punch for Kup's midsection.

Neither is Kup a particularly agile beast, and Bonecrusher's fist impacts his midsection, hard, leaving a deep dent and sending him flying back until he slams into the side of hallway. He hits the ground, but is immediately on his feet in a crouch, a smirk settled on his face.
"Not bad, ugly, but it'll take a lot more than you can dish out to finish me off!" he taunts before running towards Bonecrusher again, this time making a grab for the other's 'tail'. In the back of his mind, the thought that he's wasting too much time on this nags at him, but he quickly shuts it up.

Having carried Mayday to safety with no further incidents, Blurr is now free to move about the ship. He wants to be everywhere at once, helping out however possible. He can't be everywhere at once even as fast as he is, and that bugs him – but he can get pretty close. He bolts at a high run, Haywire in hand, eschewing the painfully slow lifts to take access shafts and narrow maintenance corridors between decks, and even before he can radio out his offer of assistance, he comes upon a scene.
Not far from a secondary bridge, here's Kup and just about the ugliest guy Blurr's ever seen having a grand old brawl. Blurr knows Kup; Kup can handle himself quite well in a fight. Kup likes the fighting, as Blurr recalls, and the speedster thinks it best he not stick around unless asked.
"Hey Kup!" he calls on his approach. "Don't mind me, Kup, just coming through but if you need a hand not that I'm saying you need one but just in case you'd like it all you have to do is let me know and I'll be here directly!" All that in the split second it takes to pace the hallway between himself and the combatants and then he's upon them. "I don't think anything can fix that face of yours," he declares with a grin as he takes aim on the round lump he assumes is Bonecrusher's head by the presence of those beady red eyes, "but I might as well give it a shot!" He fires as he runs up the wall to pass them and then he's back on the deck and speeding away.
OOC: In and out with player okay.

Bonecrusher growls as Kup aims for his minesweeping arm. He refuses to lose it - or even just lose use of it - again! Trying to swing the appendage out of reach, he moves to slam Kup between himself and the wall-
And then suddenly a blue Autobot appears seemingly out of nowhere, insults him, and shoots him in the face.
He barely has time to understand what exactly happened when a sharp point of pain blossoms in right between his optics. Startled, the shot puts him off balance, but momentum keeps his stumbling bulk headed towards Kup. "The slag-!"
And Blurr is gone before he can even think of retaliation.
OOC: Go, Blurr, bo!

"Thanks, la- nnnugh!" Kup starts to answer Blurr, but doesn't get to finish as Bonecrusher crashes into him. He grunts again as he's slammed into the way, now caught against it by the Decepticon's bulk. The windshield on his front is shatters, and the hood below it is deeply dented. Well, this is a turn for the worse!
Kup growls and attempts to pull his right leg up and between him and his opponent before kicking away. "Nnngh! Get offa me, you reverse-diode'd scud-muncher!"

Kup's kick probably has less force behind it than it might from a less awkward angle, but it still hurts and Bonecrusher stumbles forward towards the other wall with a grunt. As soon as he regains his balance, however, he's throwing his body back towards Kup, trying to slam the Autobot into the wall once more before he can slip out of the way.
It's not the most elegant form of combat, but if mass is one your advantages, you might as well use it! "I'm going to smash you flatter than roadkill, rust bucket!"
And then he's going to track down that blue Autobot and rip his slagging speedy legs off!

Kup is neither quick nor agile, and he's still in the process of peeling himself out of the dent on the wall he had been pushed into when Bonecrusher comes crashing into him again. He growls. This fight... is taking a lot longer than he anticipated, and he's needed elsewhere on the Event Horizon! It's... entirely possible that he underestimated his opponent rushing in.
Still, he's never been one to give up easily. He pulls one of the acid globules he uses for his acid laser musket from subspace and attempts to smash it against the nearest portion of Bonecrusher that Kup can reach - preferably a joint, the face, or the torso.

Bonecrusher isn't particularly quick and agile himself, not to mention he's busy trying to crush Kup into the wall, so he's not exactly in a position to do any dodging when Kup makes his counterattack. The globule smashes against the eye-patched side of his face, acid immediately beginning to eat into his plating.
He stumbles back with a howl, clutching at the melting side of his face and slaggit it burns! It burns worse than that Allspark-damned red Autobot and why do they always go for the face! His hand begins to burn as well, because it's not a good idea to touch your acid-splashed face.
Screaming abuses at Kup, he clenches his burning hand into a fist and punches at him.
