Hey, it's Springer's choice to be bystanding around! The fight's been going on for hours now, he could have left before now! That, and Impactor was pretty confident Springer could duck if he needed to. Impactor always did have problems when it came to hitting Springer.
"Hey, I'm in pretty damned good shape for someone who's died twice!" he shouts back at Kup, then spares a glance up as Skyfire yells at them to knock it off. He smirks at Kup. "So you just let other Autobots waltz in and boss you around in your own damn office? That's pretty pathetic, old-timer."
Then Impactor's harpoon is removed! The former Wrecker-leader's lips twist into a frown for a moment, and he glares up at Springer, but then shrugs it off. "Eh, I don't need the harpoon to finish the likes of you off," he sneers at Kup, swinging his harpoonless right arm at the veteran's head to try and use it as a blunt weapon.
OOC: We're kiiiiiind of hoping for another time skip when the next chance comes up; Skyfire is welcome to find one of the few remaining in-tact chairs and or to just sit on a desk and watch it finish up, though!

"Hey, hey, I can't help bein' pop'lar," Kup replies, grinning. "And aaaah, Optimus Prime was a scarier zombie'n you!" No joke. Slagging Quintessons.
Kup, luckily, has a pretty hard head, even if he doesn't have a pretty headfin on it like half the Autobots in the room. He takes the hit like the trooper he is, and so the fight goes on...
...and it's been going on for hours already.
It's pretty ridiculous.
Right now, Kup grabs at Impactor's stump, trying to yank the line out.

Dinobot pokes his head in the door when he hears the commotion coming from the office. Is this a Decepticon attack? No, it's just Impactor and Kup fighting, which to Dinobot is a bit like seeing Patton and MacArthur duking it out. Naturally he stays to watch, standing in the hall so as be outside the line of fire.

Skyfire sighed and sat on an unoccupied desk (probably Kup's). The children need supervising; he'll assist Springer in that job.
He sighed again and asked Springer, "So, which one do you want to carry to med bay when they collapse from fuel exhaustion?

Springer shoots a bored look over at Skyfire, half-shrugging. "I'm not picky. We're probably gonna need buckets, though."

"Yeah, you know what? I ain't gonna complain about being the zombie with the least Autobots kill to my name." Impactor read those files in the database, too.
But now, Kup is yanking on his line! Impactor doesn't even attempt to draw the line back in, having figured out by now that Kup has the edge in strength; instead, he slams his good hand against the trapped forearm, triggering the release. The line, along with a good sized segment of Impactor's forearm suddenly comes off. Unlike the rest of the parts that Impactor has lost this fight, however, this appears to be designed that way.
The reason for this is revealed as Impactor activates his subspace pocket, summoning a forearm segment containing an actual right hand.
Yes, this Impactor can swap out. He just generally prefers the harpoon.
Realizing he's not going to have time to get it properly snapped on with Kup right there, Impactor twists enough to deliver a powerful kick towards the elder's head. Perhaps he can knock the veteran silly enough to buy himself some time...
Later yet again...
The fight has gone on for hours upon hours. Impactor, somewhere during the course of the fight, has managed to get his right hand in place, for all the good that it does him, with so many other parts littered around the office. Still, the bulk of him is at least humanoid-shaped enough that a bucket might be an odd choice.
After hours upon hours upon hours of one of the most combative security interviews ever, however, the zombie is completely exhausted. He lays on the floor near Kup, panting. And still... and still he tries once to pull himself closer to his opponent. Tries once, and fails. Tries twice, and fails. Tries a third time... pulls himself inches closer... and falls back against the floor.
Finally, he pants out, "Anyway... good to meet you, Kup."

Kup tries to think about the last time he was this plain beat.
Then Kup remembers that he died.
His expression sours at that thought, though to any of the gawking on-lookers, he might just be grimacing in pain.
Ah well, he can't be too uncharitable - Kup got over the whole dead thing a damn sight better than Impactor did! His cooling fans whine loudly in his head, and one of his audios is on the fritz, making everything sound staticky and tinny. He tries, he tries so hard, to reach over and cuff Impactor on the head, but his arm struts are so hacked up that he just can't even manage that much. Another rotator cuff does roll out, though. Not the cuff he was wanting.
Bolts, but there's a boring ceiling in this office, Kup realises, staring up at it, flat on his back and unable to move much. The energon splatters and shrapnel kind of liven it up, though, he figures.
At length, his vocal circuits crackle to life, and he replies, "Likewise." There's a pause, and he adds, "Welcome to the Event Horizon, Impactor."

The two old warhorses have endurance, Dinobot has to give them that. He's lost track of how long the fight has been going on since he got here and they're still trying to hit each other. They seem to be mostly finished, though.
"A rousing battle. Will you need assistance getting to the medical bay?" There's no shame in salving honor wounds, after all.

Skyfire frowned at his data pad and sighed again. "I think I've got some back projections of Unicron's course before and after Gillanan III, but his recent position is still hazy." He looked up at the battlefield and then at Springer.
"I think they're done. Do you want me to carry Kup or Impactor? I think I at least recognize the paint job on Kup's parts. Hullo, Dinobot!"

"I'll take Impactor..." Springer says, raising up from his desk. "As for the parts, just gather what you can carry and we can sort it out when we get to Medical." Springer glances around the office, wincing slightly, then shaking his head. "Looks like Boondocker's got his work cut out for him here."
With that, Springer starts gathering Impactor and whatever parts he can carry.
