Wedge doesn't quite understand what in the world is up with these Junkions himself. First they had Screwdriver, then Pee-Dee? Both of them are detachable, how do you deal with that? Well, first he fires off a brief message to Pee-Dee.
Finally he sees his opening after Grimlock's transformation. "Alright! Right shoulder thrust!" Perhaps it would work better if he didn't have to announce his attacks. Looks like his opening won't be quite an opening anymore after that.

Claw Jaw was initially expecting this energy draining trick to work. Grimlock's alt mode was clearly not designed to be able to get things off his back. It would have worked, had Grimlock not decided to transform and send Claw Jaw once again bouncing along the ground.
"Maximize" he said, transforming and standing up once again. He brushed himself off, casually, and then resumed his fighting stance, despite the numerous dents and bumps on his body.
This was simply an endurance match, however Claw Jaw had to question how long he and the others could hold out. He stood back, letting someone else take the brunt of Grimlock's next attack. If they could wear him out before they all collapsed, then they would have a better chance of winning, in theory at least.

Aw, heck. Whatta we gotta get that dipstick dame involved for? My day was going just... well, all right, it wasn't going that great, but she ain't gonna make it any better.
Nightbeat, still holding his head, slowly gets back to his feet, trying to find an opening.

And now they end as they started, Grimlock in robot mode, everyone else standing around waiting for an opening. Only this time around, there are a lot more dents.
And this time around, Kup is not going to dive into Grimlock in robot mode.
Kup stands up straighter, then shifts position, putting most of his weight on his right leg in a somewhat casual slouch. "So, you about done showing off there, Grimlock?" For all that he looks casual, however, he remains on the alert. Just in case they aren't.

Grimlock...well, momentarily boggles at Wedge, watching him come at him. A sliiiight adjustment in stance, and the impact does nothing but cause a faint shudder in his frame. "...me Grimlock almost done" he replies to Kup, dropping his hand to grasp the stalk of Wedge's shovel. moving it back from his body. His grip is snug, as his waist turns to the right slightly, then jerks to the left. His torso rotates a couple of times before he releases the Buildbot, and tosses him to the ground. Nothing damaging, save for some possible scrapes or scuffs, just a "Hey, stop that" thing.
"Now me done." Grimlock places his hands on his hips, looking at the 'bots he'd whupped up on.

Wedge manages a startled, 'huh?' as Grimlock barely reacts to his charge. That 'huh?' turns more into a yelp as Grimlock yanks and Wedge goes tumbling to the ground. Nothing damaged, save his pride.
They're done? Already? Wedge barely resists the urge to frown in his disappointment. Slowly, the Buildbot picks himself up. He's already covered in scrapes, scuffs, and the occasional stray leafy green. Not much difference. "Do you have something else planned, Kup?" Wedge can't help but ask.

Claw Jaw looked surprised when Grimlock said he was quitting. Quitting from a fight? Well, it was only a friendly spar, so he would give him the benefit of the doubt.
"If there is... Nothing else to do, then I shall make my leave" Claw Jaw said, standing up to a more casual stance, preparing to head back to the ocean.

"Aww, did I miss all of the fun?" Pee-Dee trots up from somewhere else. It looks like she's taken the time to not only dispose of Bluestreak's blown tire but fix the damage her ram into the wall did to her chassis.
She pauses to glare at Nightbeat, but otherwise tries to ignore him. Instead she heads straight for Kup. "So did Wedge ask if you needed me?"

Nightbeat will also glare at Pee-Dee. Lousy skirt. Most insufferable person he's ever had the displeasure to meet.
...So why exactly did he spend so much time thinking about that?

Kup touches his right index finger to his helm in a sort of lazy semi-salute as means of saying good-bye to Claw Jaw, then turns towards Pee-Dee. He explains to the group as a whole, "Well, we needn't be completely wrapped up, if some of you folks would like to continue on, but I'm moving into an observational role myself."
Then he gestures towards the Junkion as he turns to face the rest. "Folks, this is Pee-Dee. She's volunteered to be our combat practice dummy. Unlike many standard ones, however, she has multiple skill levels, which is to say, she can fight back if she you request it. Or if you just torque her off enough."

Grimlock looks over at Pee-Dee and Kup. "Her Junkion. Junkion make good practice dummy! Fall apart and go right back together!"
A glance around, and then Grimlock steps back out of the ring, gathering his previously deposited weapons and subspacing them. "Me step out this time so others have opponent they actually able to have chance with."
Grimlock, have an ego? Naaaw...

"Yeah! I asked Kup," calls out Wedge as he trots over. The was probably not directed to him, but he can answer it, right?
Wedge looks over at Pee-Dee with a questioning stare. Practice dummy? But won't taking blows hurt? Or is she just that amazing at close-quarters combat? He moves a bit closer to Kup and Pee-Dee, in case more instruction is going to be put out. He does make a face though at Grimlock's statement.

It looked like Nightbeat had gotten dinged up by Grimlock. And he slagged on her for being a tinker toy! Stupid Cybertronian man. He was like an annoying pop tune that she couldn't get out of her head, and she was about ready to grab a mirror and a drill to try to force him out.
"Heyas, Grimlock! Aww, you're not going to be fighting anymore?" Pee-Dee scuffs her foot in disappointment. "I've always wanted to fight a Dinobot. But! I am ready, willing, and able if anyone else needs me!"

"You sure about that, Big Grim?" Nightbeat asks. "Because you could really go all out here, show us what you're really made of. She could take it."
Why yes, he is trying to goad Grimlock into fighting Pee-Dee.

At Wedge's confused expression and Nightbeat's words, Kup shrugs and then gives a single nod of his head. "Yeah, she probably can take it." He addresses Wedge, the one most obviously not familiar and explains, "Pee-Dee is a Junkion. You've probably already noticed her speech pattern and whatnot. The other major quality of Junkions is that they're put together with junk - and made so they can be put back together easily."
Kup reaches over and yanks one of Pee-Dee's arms off. "Y'see?" he says, gesturing at Wedge with the arm. "Things like this just don't hurt a Junkion the way they hurt most folks."
"However," he adds, handing the hand back to the copper, "it's generally considered pretty rude to go around yanking limbs off of Junkions without reason or invitation. Y'do something like that, and they're liable to be rude back to you. For the more painful definitions of 'rude,' that is."
