Starscream tried to bank hard to avoid the fire from 'Hardwire', but that set him up for a blast from the pink female Autobot to his fuselage. Starscream cried out in pain.
"You want to shoot my feet, and so you open fire while I'm transformed?" Not that her initial comment made any sense to Starscream...
The F-15 banked around, strafing the ground with laser fire at both Autobots. Low-charge laser fire. "I can see logic standards for Autobot recruitment are as high as ever." So said the person who was taking on Wheelie...

Cannonball ducks and turns where his vehicle-mode door on the left faces up in the air, taking a few grazing shots of laser fire before turning to fire at the attacking jet with clenched teeth. "Then transform, so we kin see about shuttin' that big mouth a' yers!" he calls out, making sure his lasers are on low charge.

Arcee takes the bolt in her upper thigh, failing to totally get out of the way in time.
"The right Starscream or not," she mutters to herself, trying to draw a bead on him, firing several shots in the meantime, "you can get shot just the same."

Starscream transformed and continued to remain in the sky. He dodged and weaved through the sky, although one of Hardwire's blast clipped his side. As Demolishor attacked Arcee, Starscream followed through with a volley of energy blasts at the femme.
What IS this about the 'right' Starscream? He WAS the right Starscream. Gah.

Demolishor engages in nonspecific cursing. Their Megatron must be a nut too, for giving that bossy idiot an actual command position.
But blasting Autobots isn't something he can really argue with, so he charges up the ridge and starts blasting away at Arcee anyway, using his fingers for now to save on power. She wasn't worth a full-on missile attack and besides that, he couldn't really run properly in his other configuration without taking the risk of falling on his face.

Cannonball was muttering some himself at the channel happenings. What kind of Decepticon needs ORDERS on ATTACKING?
Then it occurs to him. Arcee is busy with Starscream. This...is his chance to finish up what he intended to start before that worm attacked. With a snazzy pause, a leg compartment opens and springs his hammer out, and with a thrust of his gun-arm, the two connect and lock together. Then, he bolts for the tank, slipping back into character.
"I say, you brute! Leave th' lady alone! She's got 'er 'ands full with that flying blowhard!" he calls out, leaping up and holding his hammer overhead. He aimed to dramatically drop down and show Demolishor a little something that the Earthlings would call 'Hammertime', if it were the 1990s!

At first, nothing. Then, as the dial goes up and up, there's a... change in the air. It takes a moment for this change to be processed on the conscious level: it's a humming, incredibly low pitched, covering several frequencies at once. It appears to be emanating from the power plant itself. And it's getting louder...
As the strange humming increases, the flowers... calm. Their firing at the jets flying overhead becomes less and less frantic. And then, when the sound reaches its crescendo, they stop all together, still and harmless as ordinary plants for as long as the strange noise continues.

Great, just great.
Caught in the crossfire, Arcee takes several shots across her body, mostly minor, but one of Starscream's blasts hits her square in the kneecap, blasting apart some of the armor and circuitry there.
She drops to one knee, the other knee, painfully rolling out of the way, before getting into a position where she can return fire at the airborn Decepticon. He has her outclassed on so many levels, but one good shot was all it really took...

Arcee's blast wasn't enough to take out Starscream, but certainly put him down a peg or two. The shot hit him square in the chest, disrupting his gyros and shutting off his anti-gravs. Unceremoniously, he wound up on his posterior with a dull thud on the ground. His jet boosters fire up, helping leap back to his feet. "Nice try.." he said with a smirk. He fired both rifles as the female.

Demolishor's arms were already preparing to rotate to his second-and-a-half configuration and blast Arcee into a small pink cupcake tin when Cannonball attacked him with what appeared to be a...giant mallet. He was technically from an anime, true, but that was really taking it a bit too far.
The tank crouched and let his arms spin around all the way again before putting his hands up to stop the blow and grab the hammer if possible. "Go bury some treasure, Redbeard, and let some real mechs handle the battlefield!"

Cannonball growled. "Name's Hardwire lad, so ah donnae 'ave a clue aboot any pirates!" he replies, trying to miss the hand. He does, but at the expense of missing Demolishor's head, and clanging against the other's torso. Whether it dents or not, that's another story... Cannonball then sighs some at his orders, shooting a line to Demolishor over the broadband. //Much as ah'd love tae finish this, ah've got orders what could save me from that monstrosity once it gets mobile...// He then leaps off of Demolishor, transforming mid-flight and landing roughly before tearing off toward the now-grounded Starscream. Cannonball then fired up his vehicle horn as he got closer. "Ahoy, Starscream!" he calls out. Figured he should try to give -some- warning, so he can't be yelled at too much later. Once close enough, he impacts the front of his Magnum form into the seeker, knocking him back onto the ground. 1 The fake Autobot then turns, cutting a wide arc between Starscream and Arcee to get between them, facing the other way.

Arcee has, by now, taken a couple more hits, but other than her mostly shattered left kneecap, is doing fairly well.
Oh, this is going to hurt...
When she transforms, a small portion of her vehicle mode's front bumper is missing, a gaping hole left in its places.
She wants to stay and fight. She does. To finally have a chance to strike back at those down and dirty excuses for mechanoids...
But she's major-league outclassed against Starscream and Demolishor.
Hitting the gas, she begins to peel out.

Starscream barely had enough time to flinch - he tried to jump out of the way from 'Hardwire' but only managed to move enough so that he wasn't completely mowed down. Starscream made note of Hardwire's insolence, to be taken into consideration as to whether or not this battle was worth it. Hardwire and Arcee extracted from his area, he transformed again, taking off, intent on seeing if he can take a dent out of Omega Supreme.

The hammer barely scuffed him; Demolishor's chest was the most well-armored portion of his body. But it was enough to make him scowl.
"Get back here, you Caribbean freak!" If he doesn't want to be a pirate anymore, he should stop sounding like that one guy who had the beard in that one movie. You know, with the giant squid.
//Not like I can blame ya. I don't want to be anywhere near that thing.//
He didn't run, he couldn't catch up to them at their speed. But he rotated his arms back around again and fired off a few long range missiles in their direction, hoping to at least knock down enough rocks to give them trouble driving.

"Hardwire" followed slightly behind Arcee, heaving a sigh of relief. "Whew...they be seeming tae turn on that big lug. Friend a' yers--" he begins to ask, and is then cut off by some falling rocks, doing a bit of haphazard driving and in a few cases, transforming to clearance some bigger ones.
Whatever Arcee's answer, he just acknowledges. "Whaddaya reckon we ought tae do now..?"
