Firebolt gets a bit giddy as she decides to speed up somewhat, heading into the ruins.
"Skid-Z SKID-Z WAIT UP!!" She declares suddenly, getting excited about well. Things only she would understand. Firebolt things. "They said I couldn't go ahead but that doesn't mean I can't go as fast as I can~!"

Smiling, Skid-Z is thrilled that Xaaron seeks to join them. And he's sure Rattrap will be excited as well! So, without any further delay, he answers the Maximal, quite, cheerily: "//Everything's fine out here, Rattrap! They got utility stores, scrapyards, arcade halls, oh! And a special Emirate Xaaron offer just today at <coordinates>, 14k gold or higher, so we'd better not pass on that, right?//"
He grins, adding to show his seriousness, "//He would like to help us very much, we're at <repeat coordinates>//"
Yes, Skid-Z's fast, but no, he didn't pull out on the rest at max speed. That would hit to big a gap between him and the group. So the racer expects them to catch up anytime near. Speaking of which, he can hear someone calling for him now, //Firebolt, three streets to your left, <same coordinates>!//

The whole of Boondocker's message doesn't quite make sense, but parts of it are decipherable..."Is that a challenge, Boondocker?" Because Wedge will happily take up any challenge thrown his way. "I hope we find a muddy field around here then." Let's see who'd win then with tires verses treads.
"Ah, so where are we headed? You know where Skid-Z went, Rattrap?" Wedge keeps moving along, keeping his optics alert and staying on the lookout for the race car as they pass along intersections and alleyways.

Another dumpster-diver out here, huh? Rattrap just shrugs – hey, rolling with the unexpected is part of his thing even if he tends to gripe about it the whole way – and radios back a quick confirmation to Skid-Z.
"Yeah, thanks," he says aloud, leaning into the cab again when another hefty bump rolls under. "Good to know I don't have ta play stunt driver the whole way." He doesn't actually open that window just yet and looks from Boondocker to Wedge. "Looks like we got another set o' helpin' hands, guys – Skid-Z found Emirate Xaaron for us. Gonna meet up with 'em at <coordinates>."

Emirate Xaaron smiles back at Skid-Z and then returns to poking about the town thoughtfully.
So, under space law, just how long does something have to be derelict, anyway?
Emirate Xaaron's not really sure he wants to deal with the Autobots having to go to space jail.

"Naw, not really a challenge. I'm all fer findin' a place to go muddin', but we'd best not be doin' it on the clock. Wouldn't wanna have to clean whatever we find more'n we got to once we git it back home." A bulldozer going mudding? That...would be a site to see. And then some!
"No problem!" He calls to Rattrap, and sets to heading for those coordinates once Rattrap hands 'em out. "We's almost there!"

Firebolt skids over and transforms as she does so, opting to run through the streets rather than trying to navigate over the rubble. She stops for a moment, picking up what appears to be a box of sensors, and then glances around and stashes them in her personal sub space pocket.
"Nobody saw that," she says as he counts the streets and then runs over to look for Skid-Z. Ah HA! There he is! And... ... Emirate Xaaron? She runs up and then jumps to stop herself and waves.
"Hello Mr. Xaaron, sir!" She says cheerily. "Are you out here to make with the loot too?"

"They're coming" Skid-Z says, just as Firebolt rounds the corner. He waves back at her, 'perfect timing!'.

"I'll keep you to that then, Boondocker!" and oh Wedge will. Imagine that? Off-road rally, pick-up truck and bulldozer style. What a mess...he really can't wait.
"Xaaron's here?" Wedge laughs and keeps on ahead, adjusting his direction slightly in an effort to get to the coordinates faster. "Well, we won't keep him waiting then!"
Pretty soon there's a speck of shiny gold up ahead along with a dash of red and then black. "Hey Skid-Z! Firebolt!" Wedge transforms to dash the rest of the way there, waving one arm as he goes. "Emirate Xaaron, sir! It's great to have you out here." The Emirate gets a dashed salute as Wedge begins to slow for a stop. He means the greeting, if his words don't say it, maybe his expression and voice will.

The hick-up truck and the little dozer racing. Sounds like the next Cannonball Run to Rattrap. Maybe one of the ladies can be talked into looking hot and waving a flag, too.
When Wedge transforms, Rattrap edges to one side of Boondocker's bed and plants one foot firmly on the side.
"No need ta stop on my account," he says, "Just slow down enough that I won't break anything important and I'm outta the way."

Emirate Xaaron waves and greets Firebolt, "Ah, hello there. I would not, personally, call it 'make out with the loot'." his face scrunches up, and he pinches the bridge of his nose. "However, that would be an accurate, albeit blunt way of putting it. Are we looking for anything in particular? Or just anything that seems useful and won't be too difficult to haul back?"

Once they draw close, Boondocker does indeed slow down as requested, and once Rattrap disengages, Boondocker transforms himself.
He stops near Wedge, offering a wave in Xaaron's direction. "Howdy, sir."

"I think we just look for useful things in general," she says, putting her hands behind her back.
Firebolt totters off, holding her arms out to the side as if she's walking on a tightrope. She heads for the nearest pile of junk and starts sifting through it, pulling out what could be useful pieces, whether it's for various bits of delicate wires, or it's in decent enough condition. She sort of zones out while away from the others, more focused on trying to get things that she finds useful, and hopefully others will find it useful as well.

"Yeah, anything that can be used for construction" Skid-Z adds. He waves at the rest, waiting though he does look around.

Well, time to start looking for parts. Wedge claps his hands together, giving everyone a brief wave before he dashes down an alleyway--straight into an upturned vehicle of sorts. Lucky for Wedge, his mass and momentum means that he can barrel straight through without too much worry. It's a little unlucky for the vehicle as it's roughly pushed aside and its rear punches through a nearby wall.
"Of all the--" cut off here because Heavy Load would have Wedge's vocalizer for the following words--likely Grimlock too (that is, his Grimlock, not the strange dinosaur). Wedge jogs back to the wreck and carefully pulls the vehicle back. Well, looks like there are some salvageable hoses--oh, a computer of sorts on the dash! He kneels down and begins removing anything and everything interesting from the dented mess. No time to notice the insides of the building that he's quite literally broken into.
