//... It’s a distraction, Rampage,// Phobia explains patiently as he drops down onto the roof of some small building to dodge the missile; he wasn’t half as maneuverable in the air as he was on the ground. He’d thought the Predacon had been creepy beforehand but now he’s mostly just utterly baffling in every possible way. And creepy.
“Oh, I assure, my motivations are entirely selfish,” he answers Silverbolt after the missile explodes somewhere behind him. The bike then jumps off the roof and transforms, reaching out with his senses to try and find the barest gap in the barricade to dart though.
Hopefully the threat of a Decepticon lose outside of the contained area would be enough to make some of them chase after him. Phobia will have to find some place to hide after this though.

Kup stares at the human in shock. "Of all the-!" Okay, he's seen the reports that there are 'powered humans' in this reality, but given that his own had very few (and the ones that did exist tended to be rather low key), but knowing about them and actually encountering one are two different things. He hesitates a moment. Kup's not actually that good at adapting to the new and unexpected - he just usually fakes it incredibly well because at this point, there's extremely little that's new and unexpected. It's not much of a hesitation, but it's enough to ensure that he's hit square on with another one of those missiles.
He's knocked back again and receives a deep new dent with a few cracks to go with it. He grunts, momentarily holding his wound, then pushes himself out. "If you insist, you insist. Just watch yourself, kid," like he's one to talk. With that, he fires once more after the departing Rampage, but at this point, his hesitation may have cost him too much time... Rampage might well be too far away.

Dante gives Kup a small, informal salute with his index finger. "Will-do, but I think you could manage to take your own advice, big guy." After saying this, he cranks the dial on his belt again, forming up more armor around his legs - treaded boots that carry him away from the incoming missiles while he squeezes off some more shots in Rampage's direction.

Silverbolt snarls as the bike makes his exit. Silverbolt would give chase, but there was no way he'd catch up to the bike. Silverbolt turns back toward the battlefield below, noting that Rampage seems to be making a retreat as well. Albeit, leaving Kup and the human with a little 'present'. Silverbolt flies back towards the site of the skirmish,clutching his wounded arm, a bit too late for him to do anything about the "Phobia has made his escape as well," Silverbolt reports, frowning as his arm loosens from it's joints and falls to the ground with a 'ploink' sound. "But, at least the humans are safe for now," he sighed happily, glancing up at the power armored biker, saying "And thank you for the assistance!"

Phobia is fleeing like a good bike, and with a mental flick, Rampage activates his new upgrade and takes to the sky, avoiding Kup's shot. Maybe Phobia won't notice, he wanted it to be a surprise. He hesitates, considering continuing to chase the bike, but that's just asking for trouble. As is staying to fight, however tempting it might be as more shots from the strange armored human pepper his body.
With a growl, he turns to fly back out to sea.

Kup snorts. "It'll take more'n that blasted crab can dish out to put me down for good," he growls, attempting to give chase as much as he can. However, being as he can't fly and isn't exactly designed for operating in or under water (though he's been known to drive under it), he doesn't get very far.
He growls quietly to himself, then turns and looks back at the others. "Everyone all right?" Then he nods towards the damage done. "I'm willing to stick around to do what I can to clean up their mess. Wouldn't be the first time."

Rampage.
Rampage is flying.
Phobia almost crashes into a police car instead of ramping over it like he’d intended to. He lands with a terrified squeak, bullets pinged off his chassis. He rears up on his back wheel, smacking a policeman across his face as he roars down the road and turns sharply into an alleyway, the sound of sirens trailing him.

Silverbolt gets a quick nod, but now Rampage is flying off toward the water - which gets a frustrated noise out of the man. He reaches down, disengaging his transformation before walking back to his bike. Kup's comment gets his attention, though. "Guess some of you bots aren't so bad," he responds, then gives another informal salute before starting the bike back up. "I'd stick around, but they only pay me to fight, not clean up."
And with that, he heads back out the way he came.
