...However, he doesn't get that opportunity. A shadow casts over the pair of them. The Bumblebee that is about to crush Goldbug looks up in time to see... himself. Well, a different version of himself. Not as sleek, a little bit faded and a lot more rust, and his battle mask is currently not lowered, but still.
The Bumblebee that Goldbug has come to know these past few cycles dived down at his doppelganger from the roof. Tackling him, they connect loudly on the ground as their chassis scrapes against each other, trying to gain the upper hand. Thankfully, this means that they're both away from Goldbug, who now has a moment to free himself, but the trouble is going to be identifying where one Bumblebee ends and the other begins as they continue to scramble on the ground.
OOC: Handling of Bumblebee-3 done with, erm, his player's permission.

Goldbug, with effort, manages to free his legs from the rubble. He's not going to have the use of his right hand until someone can effect repairs and he's a bit battered, but he's far from out of the fight.
Quickly, he scoops up his gun, but he hangs back for a moment.
Okay, concentrate. You don't want to hurt a friend.
Goldbug isn't the most seasoned of warriors, nor the world's most fantastic shot, but he's no slouch either. And his powers of observation, while not quite Nightbeat-level, are still exceptional. Taking careful aim, he fires a shot.

The more savage Bumblebee has pinned down the Bumblebee that is Goldbug's friend. However that doesn't last long when Goldbug takes his shot. "Aaah!" The shot from Goldbug stings the dark Bumblebee on his shoulder. Enough to make him call out in pain. He looks up from his battle to fire a blast from his arm-gun back at Goldbug.

The 'good' Bumblebee continues to be pinned down by his counterpart. As shocked as his counterpart was that he was zapped by Goldbug, Bumblebee was even moreso surprised by the notion that his alternate can talk.
However, he's not wasting any opportunity. When 'evil' Bumblebee tries to shoot Goldbug, Bumblebee tries to swing a right hook and knock his opponent off him.

Come to think of it, that was surprising. Goldbug grunts as he takes a shot in the shoulder, the result of careful dodging and the true Bumblebee throwing off the evil one's aim, but damage all the same.
If Bumblebee is successful in knocking off his foe, Goldbug will transform and ram him as he falls.

Knocked off by one Bumblebee, plowed into by the next. The sinister Bumblebee gets knocked back and scraped badly by the VW. He's now sporting a sizable dent on his left hand side.
There's only one thing for it. Bumblebee transforms back into the powerful 2008 Concept Camaro, and prepares to ram Goldbug.

Finally knocking his doppelganger off him, Bumblebee also transforms. Sadly, it's nowhere near as impressive as his counterpart, but then his counterpart never had the trouble of being able to be bought for $4,000 by a teenager looking to get some. Sadly, there is no compensation for this fact on Gillanan III. But all the same, he has to do what he can. The wolves are at the door, and Bumblebee is going to do what he can. Belching out toxic smoke, he tries to ram 'himself' before 'he' can hurt his friend.

When raced with on-going danger, there's really only one thing to do. Charge right in!
Rather than try to dodge out of the way of the evil Bumblebee's ram, Goldbug races forward again himself.
Looks like a three 'bee pile-up is in the making.

It looks that way, yes.
However, when the other Bumblebee transforms, The dark one swerves to one side. Quickly, a blue scanner emits from its grill, scanning the '74 Camaro.
Suddenly, sleek curves become more angular, high polish sprouts rust patches and yellow colours take on a sun-faded tone. There is two 74 Bumblebees there. One of them transforms, this time with hand gun retracted and battlemask raised, charging into the other.

Without thinking of the ramifications of doing so, the 'good' Bumblebee transforms to meet the charge. The two of them get entangled in a brawl again, making it virtually impossible to discern between the two.

Goldbug slams to a stop, narrowly avoiding a total collision. He quickly transforms, wincing slightly at the pain from his various injuries, and pulls his gun again.
"Dammit... I don't know who to shoot!"

The two Bumblebees continue to fight. No inch is given or taken by either party. Punches are exchanged. One of them manages to convert his hand into a weapon, the other follows suit.
Suddenly, one of them transmits on a frequency direct to Goldbug: //you will have to blast us both. it is the only way.//
OOC: Just skip Bumblebee-1 this round.

Duskwing cruised over the city in jet-form, fast enough to avoid being an easy shot, slow enough to spot likely targets--
"Well whaddya know!" he crowed to himself at the brawling yellow forms that passed by underneath. "Looks like a terrible fight with an Autobot--someone's gonna need an assist!"
Duskwing turned back, swooping low over the buildings on his return leg, then transformed just as he reached the combatants. One, two, THREE Autobots--and two of them were Bumblebee. The wasp-faced jerk was fighting his counterpart.
Too bad Duskwing couldn't tell which was which. Fortunately, he hated both of them, and the extra Autobot was gravy.
"DIE, AUTOSCUM!" Duskwing shouted as he shot into the melee with both arm-guns. For good measure, he popped his cluster-bomb launchers and dumped the tiny missles into the fight as fast as he could launch them.
More explosions were always better than fewer.

Goldbug backpeddles just in time to avoid the dropping bombs, grateful, for the moment, to have a target that isn't potentially one of his teammates. He fires several shots up at Duskwing.

OOC: Until further notice all Bumblebee posts are just going to be done by this guy.
Bombs get dropped and Bees go flying. One gets knocked back first onto the ground, the other gets slammed into a wall from the blast. Both are smoking and sporting shrapnel damage on their chassis. The one on the wall reconfigures his right hand into a blaster to shoot at the jet. The other takes this opportunity to tackle the first one while he's distracted with Duskwing.
