Brawl roars in pain and frustration as Sentinelita jams the Sword of Fury into his turret mechanism. He already has problems rotating the thing sometimes, but it was working so well tonight, before an Autobot scuttled it and made sparks arc out everywhere and caused him intense pain.
He transforms back to robot mode, accompanying the movement with an uppercut at Sentinel Prime.

"NO!" Optimus shouts, trying to wrest the gun away from Onslaught. He's not quick or strong enough to keep him from shooting Jetfire, but if he can get the weapon, he'll have an advantage.

Whoohoo, lookit that car fly!
Oh hey, that zombie broad was stabbing his teammate. That’s not nice. That’s not very nice at all.
//Brawl, I’m gonna try and shake that bimbo off a’ ya!// he cackles as he turns his whirlwind on his teammate and the two Autobots (is Override still in the air? Oh dear.). //Get yer antigravs ready, you’re gonnabe ridin’ the wind!// He’ll try to vacuum everyone up and increase elevation. And then he’s going to drop them of course. The heli is going to reach the limit of his wind usage in a bit, but until then, he is going to introduce everyone to some high flying jackassery.

So Override is still flying at Sentinel Prime, but given all of the chaos going on, Sentinel Prime is not going to notice Override until it is too late. She does vaguely notice the wind that Vortex is whipping up, but she is more focused on avoiding Brawl's attack. Luckily for her, Elita-1 is much nimbler than Sentinel Prime was, with better flexibility and reaction times. She turns on her heel to the side, to let Brawl's uppercut go by her, and then she draws on what the Ultra Magnus here taught her - just a little bit of Diffusion, which happens to be a great thing when one is a not-very-strong bot trying to fight a much stronger and heavier 'con. She tries to grab him by the inner elbow, to use the momentum of his rush against him and spin him in a spiral until he's down on the floor, preferably in a large amount of pain. Sentinel Prime is not wearing gloves. If she connects at all, she may download something, and it will probably hurt for Brawl. She was actually not thinking about this side-effect at all, because she is used to being a jerky knight with a lance and shield, not Rogue. She snarls, "Tart? Tart?" Sentinel Prime has not had a relationship in... uhm... an embarrassingly long amount of time. She objects to this insult! "A tart is what this tank will be when I'm done with him. Because I'll make Optimus bake him. Optimus is good at baking like that. And then you'll have to eat defeat, Decepticons!" Yes, mess with Sentinel Prime's bots when she is having an extremely bad day, and she'll start threatening forced cannibalism, Titus Andronicus style. This is the downside of teetering on the edge of a mental breakdown: it makes one's battle banter sound extremely stupid. She will deny all of this later. - - - OOC: Sentinel is trying to do something vaguely like this to Brawl: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEUeP7hx8fsonly only not nearly so gentle and graceful. The girl is mean, and she'd like to make it hurt.
Override-mun suggested to me that Sentinel ought to try to gank Brawl's powers.

Override is just about to go crashing into Brawl and Sentinel when she's yanked back into the air. "Hey!" she shouts. There's not much she can do while twirling about in the sky, but she makes a game attempt at firing at Vortex when the spinning happens to bring him into her potential target range. She's fairly experienced in firing at things while turning quickly... maybe this will work?

Blast Off has a brief panicky moment when he realises that despite being in the middle of a fight, he has managed to find himself alone. He's crashed in the stands, ruining priceless architecture, and no one is paying attention to him. He might as well be stuck on a deserted island!
Then he reminds himself that this is better than being shot at.
Now quiet, Blast Off tries to transform again. Nope, nope, that's not working. He looks at where his wing-mounted x-ray cannons have ended up. Huh, jammed into the ground. That is completely unhelpful.
If only he had a cargo of snakes. Then he could open up his cargo bay doors and then release the snakes.
Wait, no, that is a silly plan.

There's nothing like shooting what amounts to a child to brighten his day. And the poor fool can't even protect himself with the molten metal that covers his form! "Oh, this is just too eas-"
Onslaught does not get a chance to finish his boasting. Because Optimus is far from harmless. The Combaticon grunts as he's tackled, digging his feet in and using his weight and strength to keep the smaller Autobot from knocking him over. "You insolent-!" He drops his weapon, letting Optimus wrest it away from him, but that's only so he can lift his hand, ready to backhand him.
To Blast Off, he inquires: //Do you require assistance with climbing back up to your feet, Blast Off?//

Jetfire isn't a child! He at least an early teen!
He's also glad that everybody seems distracted from him at the moment. It gives him time to try and pull himself together and figure out what to do. If he heats up again, maybe he can get the foreign metal soft enough to be pliable again. He stares at his palms, willing them to warm, but creating fire just seems so hard right now.
Where's your fiery fighting spirit, Jetifre?

Elita-1 (or Sentinel Prime in Elita-1's chassis, as the case may be) versus Brawl is an interesting match-up. On the one hand, Brawl is stronger and tougher with more combat experience. On the other hand, Sentinelita-1 is taller, has a longer reach, and is not a nincompoop.
Brawl cuts on his antigravs as soon as Vortex informs him of what he's about to do, so Sentinel will find moving the tankformer surprisingly easy. As to borrowing his powers, he's a veritable buffet. He's strong, tough, and has twin sonic cannons.
"Aaagh! What th' slag?! Stop touchin' me!" he protests as her touch burns him. He doesn't quite end up on the ground, though, both due to his own antigravs and Vortex's wind.

Onslaught may catch a look of . . . call it 'horrified amusement' flitting across Optimus's face. If there was any doubt in his mind that that's somehow Sentinel Prime over there, it has been dispelled. No-one else can come up with dialog that awful. Thankfully.
The Prime didn't actually expect to be able to get Onslaught's gun away from him. He's still pulling hard when he gets a hold of it, and staggers backwards, off balance.
However, now he is armed, while Onslaught is unarmed. He could shoot at Onslaught . . . or he could decide turnabout is fair play and shoot Blast Off. The muzzle of the rifle wavers back and forth.

Override’s shot hits the helicopter’s underbelly causing Vortex to veer wildly to the side with a maniacal giggle, the whirlwind wobbling insanely in his wake. “That tingles!” And it probably hit something vital considering the fact that his vision was doing some crazy static lines. But no, no, no, Vortex has Things to do before he crashes horrifically into something! And oh, look, that cute little toy Prime was going to shoot his teammates?
He cackles and proceed to try and dump everyone without antigravs onto Optimus. //Heads up, Ons! Ya got some air mail!//

As the downloads from Brawl execute rather unexpectedly, with cruel whispers, Sentinel Prime lets go of Brawl in reflexive shock and is swept off her feet by Vortex's wind. She's flung through the air and whipped about. Something in her head thinks this is just delightful and it's not her, and she knows it, and Sentinel Prime feels horror crawl over body like the little feet of spiders with necrotising bites as a little more of her stability is dissolved away. But Sentinel Prime knows who she is at core, and as usual, Sentinel Prime has loud, uninformed opinions to state rudely, such as, "A limb? What kind of dumb alternate mode is that? ...oh, wait, I can fly." Sentinel Prime does so, rocketing out of Vortex's windstream and straight up a few dozen meters in ungainly ragdoll fashion. Now she's nauseous, her optics cycling a blink, and she complains, "...this is disgusting. Jetfire! How can you stand flying? This is worse than when the medic rotates your tyres and he's groping around your undercarriage!" Sentinel Prime is feeling even more of a sneering snob than usual. For some reason, she wants to blame it on the crashed shuttle that just called her a tart and the missile truck that Optimus is playing Dirty Harry with, and she doesn't know why. This frustrates her and makes her want to shoot things. She'll get to that part in a moment. - - - OOC: I should probably explain Sentinel's stats at the moment, since having download powers makes things wonky.
Default: Strength: Weak Endurance: Average Toughness: Average Agility: Nimble Intelligence: Above Average Firepower: Low Ranged: Average Melee: Seasoned - Most of her stats are derived from Elita-1, but she retains Sentinel's melee training. Armor: Fragile
Speed in Robot-Mode: Slow Speed in Alternate-Mode: Average
Current (after downloading Brawl): Strength: Strong - from Brawl Endurance: Average Toughness: Average Agility: Nimble Intelligence: Above Average Firepower: High - from Brawl Ranged: Average Melee: Seasoned Armor: Tanklike - from Brawl
Speed in Robot-Mode: Slow Speed in Alternate-Mode: Average
She picks up anti-gravs, the ability to turn into a limb (Blackarachnia did this when she downloaded Mixmaster), freaky voices in her head (see Blackarachnia and Mixmaster again), twin sonic cannons, and a 10-megawatt electron gun.

And now Override's being thrown at Optimus Prime instead! Lovely. She tries to go limp as she's flung through the air. She still really has no control over where she falls, but hopefully this way she'll be able to spring up and go after one of the Decepticons instead of spending too much time recovering or disentangling from Optimus.

The Prime actually has his weapon. Well that is annoying. The commander stares at Optimus, actually amused, but also ready to lunge forward and teach this whelp a lesson he will not soon forget.
That is, of course, until Vortex warns him. He chuckles ominously before stepping back, just as the pile of robots come crashing down. But there is one missing! Growling, he drops down, transforms, raises his cannons and fires two missiles at Sentinel, aiming to take away his new found advantage...And his life, if the Combaticon is lucky.
OOC: Skipping Blast Off due to time out.

//Kill the Autobots first. Worry about me later,// Blast Off says wearily.
Yes, there Blast Off is, a tempting target for Optimus Prime, should Optimus wish to give in to the siren call of the Dark Side and execute the space shuttle to burn the heart of Onslaught in turn.
