"Aw, come on!" Brawl explodes when Onslaught orders the Combaticons to stand down. "We went to all this trouble! Blast Off even put up his stupid artsy curtains all over the place! Now we ain't even gonna kill him!? Pig iron!"
He's stood up in the stands in order to complain, and is waving his pistol around. Any shot he may have had lined up on Optimus Prime's head is now thoroughly spoiled.

Optimus knows exactly how this is going to go. There's only one way it can go, really. Onslaught refuses to play nice, then Optimus makes a stirring speech/one-liner about how Autobots are better than Decepticons while the Elite Guard attacks and wins the day with superior tactics, proving that superior numbers and size are nothing next to sheer heart, gutsiness, and the knowledge that you fight for the good of all. He has the speech all ready and everything.
"I thought you- wait, what?" The Prime was not expecting this. It has to still be a trick, of course. They're called Decepticons for a reason. But for a fraction of a second, his guard is lowered, both mentally and physically. His axe is just a bit away from where it ought to be to parry an attack, and the order to engage is just a little farther from the front of his processor.
Just for a fraction of a second. That's practically an eternity for a robot.

Of course, Onslaught's overtures at peace, however manipulative, would have worked a lot better had Blast Off not stabbed Override in the hand just before he made them.
"Hey!" Override shouts angrily, instinctively leaping at the shuttle in an attempt to tackle him - throttle him - whatever she can manage.
Talk about ruining a dramatic moment!

OOC: Skipping Jetfire due to timeout.
Optimus Prime already broke the deal that he needs to show up alone! Because he is clearly a friend-killing Autobot! Blast Off needs metal core samples from Autobots, okay? Why does Onslaught have to get all dramatic right now when they could be laughing at Autpbots for not understanding the meaning of 'alone' instead?
Then Override tackles and throttles him. His armour dents with a hideous creak, and she'll find it bending under her hands.
Wait, she's a woman, right? That was in the database? Or was that the other red and white Autobot car...
Blast Off observes, a slight squeak to his voice, "This has never happened to me before."

If he wasn't being so grandiose and dramatic, he would use this opportunity to introduce his palm to his face and mutter something about the Combaticons' shortcomings. They should all know better! But that's not the case, and while he is annoyed, he's far more focused on Optimus! Who didn't rush forward. What, did Onslaught's noble offer really knock him off balance that much? He didn't expect this to work so well! Oh well, the Prime is distracted, and this will do. //Combaticons, ignore my previous 'command' and re-engage the hostiles in 3...2...1....// He pushes his foot down and the next thing Optimus knows the chains rattle and the reanimated corpse of Sentinel Prime is hurling his spiked shield at Optimus, catching the Elite Guard commander off guard and knocking him down onto the arena floor. // Now.// The shield flies back and Sentinel catches it, rising to his feet in a way that is just wrong, less like a living being and more like a puppet that has it's strings pulled. What's worse is that the body is shifting, panels opening and expanding, new ones sliding into place. When all is said and done, there stands 'Sentinel' in a battle armor that he is similar to what he may have worn in his future, clutching a battle hammer. Meanwhile, Onslaught overlooks everything from the stands behind the zombie, clutching the remote control and laughing like a triumphant Bond villain. "Oh I'm terribly sorry! Did I not mention that your friend is now a mindless zombie who is firmly under my control? How uncharacteristically forgetful of me!" ______________ Knocking down of Optimus done with player permission.

Sentinel-! What did they do to Sentinel Prime? It seems to Jetfire that things have, indeed, gone sour.
Transforming into robot mode, he plummets straight for Vortex, accelerating faster than gravity can pull him as he bursts into a controlled blaze, fists and thrusters flaring bright, flames flickering across his goggles.

Vortex would be laughing so hard at the turn of events right now. If he didn’t have a fireball of death descending upon him at the moment anyways. He only barely catches the blazing Autobot out of the corner of his visor.
“Slag-” he curses, throwing himself off the side of the tower and crumpling one of the lamp posts below.

"Yeah! Now that's more like it!" Brawl exclaims when the fighting starts. He's preparing to leap down into the arena and engage Optimus Prime when he sees Override strangling Blast Off.
"Hey! Stop hittin' Blast Off! Only I'm allowed to do that!" he shouts, feet pounding over the stands toward the two combatants, cracking the stone and doing possibly irreparable damage to a priceless historical site. He fully intends to tackle Override right off the shuttle-former.

Optimus Prime is knocked off his feet by zombie Sentinel Prime's shield. And zombie Sentinel has extra armor and guns. Onslaught totally cheats.
Optimus is conflicted about this whole situation. On the one hand, the Decepticons are desecrating the corpse of his best frenemy for some kind of sick joke, and apparently expect him to fight said corpse. On the other hand, he's been wanting to beat the slag out of Sentinel Prime for a very, very long time.
Thus, it is with all the emotional turmoil customary to his peer group that he picks himself up and charges the zombie, axe held high.

Even Override looks startled when Blast Off's armor crumples so easily beneath her fingers. She doesn't have time to remark on this, however, as she's busy being tackled by a tank!
She's knocked off of Blast Off, but twists as she hits the ground, attempting to turn it into a roll and use the momentum of the whole action to kick Brawl off her. "That's pretty twisted, even for Decepticons," she observes as she draws her twin cannon - the weapon's not yet armed, however, since she hadn't wanted to risk drawing attention with the light show before (darned Primus-unlockable guns!).

"Thank you, Brawl," Blast Off murmurs, just barely keeping his voice from shaking.
While his voice may quaver, his hands do not, as he draws his ionic blaster. He rolls to his side and tries to put a shot through her torso.

"Really! We go all through this trouble of setting up a glorious gladiatorial combat between you and your fallen friend, and you can not even be bothered to give me a shocked retort so I may relish in your emotional turmoil? I am quite disappointed, Optimus Prime! Oh well! I can still get my jollies from letting him beat you into a twisted, leaking pile of scrap and oil! Huzzah!" Onslaught is having quite a grand old time. Shame that the Autobot didn't come alone though, now his comrades can't join in on the fun! Hopefully they will successfully entertain themselves by taking on Optimus' back up. It will be interesting to see which will win: The Elite Guard or the C-Team Combaticons.
Sentinel looks at Optimus with cold, dead eyes, lumbering forward, battle hammer raised. For all intents and purposes, it truly appears to be a zombie, be it a battle clad one. That is, until Onslaught slides up the Turbo button on the side of the remote control. Rockets scattered across Zombie Sentinel's armor activate with spectacular flares, giving him a much needed speed boost, which makes the jerky movements, now sped up, seem even more wrong. It meets Optimus' attack head on, jerking as the axe buries deep, but then the free large, armored hand tries to grasp Optimus' head so he can hold him in place while attempting to knee him in his abdominal plating.

The tower Vortex hastily vacated explodes in a shower of charred stone as Jetfire smashes into it, quickly followed by a secondary blast as he rockets back out of the rubble in pursuit of Vortex, causing further irreparable damage to the ancient architecture.
Keep the fire to his heels and his hands, keep the fire to his heels and his hands, keep the fire to his heels and his hands, he can do this-!
The blaze spreads up to his elbow as he punches at Vortex with an angry shout.

Rubble ricocheting off of his armor, Vortex grips the high grade cube he’d been contemplating earlier and pitches it at Jetfire. At this range, the helicopter would be affected by the explosion as well, but he had the advantage of not being particularly bothered by pain.
... Damn, but it was such a waste of good energon.

Brawl completely misinterprets what Override is talking about. "It ain't even like that! Why does everyone hafta go there? I get enough of this slag from Vortex, I ain't about to put up with it from Autojerks!" he growls, attempting to pistol-whip the carformer.
