Frenzy lets out a high-pitched, fax-machine stream of cursing as Wreckage punches Bonecrusher in the face. He felt that! He felt the displaced air as Wreckage made that punch! ARGH! ARGHHATEANDDISCONTENT!
Clearly. Clearly this calls for the ultimate in punishments.
"Barr'cade! Need a hat! A nice hat!"

That dust cloud is getting nearer, and perhaps, just perhaps, over the clang of metal on metal, the roar of a mighty, furious engine can be heard, and those thundering eighteen wheels.
However, this can definitely be heard. "Scourge, transform! Sword of fury!"
Just on the outskirts, there now stands a tall, dark Decepticon bearing a big red blade. He looks, perhaps, just a bit like Optimus Prime, though he may look odd to this mess of machines from the dimension of naked robots made out of blades.
Scourge roars, "You wanted to fight Optimus Prime? Get in line!"
Optimus Prime is Scourge's father. He gets some say in who gets to kick his father's skidplate, right?
Then, he charges, sword pulled back.

Alas, frenzy, the hat will have to wait.
Barricade has almost managed to swing himself out from under the toppling behemoth, but not quite totally. He snarls with anger as Bonecrusher crashes down upon one outflung arm for a moment, before he teeters just enough that Barricade can kick himself free. Hopefully leaving a few new holes in Bonecrusher's armor in the process.
Or at least some gouges. He'll be happy with at least a few gouges.
Reinforcements! Oh goody! This should be all sorts of fun, what with Bonecrusher screaming bloody murder against Optimus Prime, and Scourge looking like Prime's dark-horse cousin, twice removed.
"Frenzy, abort," he growls, wanting his partner out of the fray before Scourge can get in there with that sword, not to mention his mass. Oh, and the fury, since Scourge doesn't sound particularly thrilled with the situation, judging by that yell.
Now, where's the popcorn when you need it? This is fixing to be a damned good show!

Wreckage's instinct when that punch connects is to press the attack, to take advantage of Bonecrusher being down and keep the MPV there however he is able. But Scourge has arrived. Second wave, Wreckage reminds himself, dragging his mind away from the fight. Withdraw. Make way.
He does not curse, but Wreckage makes a low, garbled exclamation as he falls back to clear the way for Scourge. He falls back further when he remembers that this can only end in another brawl. Bonecrusher cannot be talked down in this state, much to Wreckage's irritation. He hates seeing this. He hates to see what he could eventually become. He finds he hopes that Scourge beats Bonecrusher senseless for simply being here and he loathes that impulse, too.

Bonecrusher roars as he fights against Frenzy's command, his limbs twitching in place. He is momentarily confused as Wreckage draws away instead of continuing his attack, having missed Scourge's flashy entrance between having his face smashed in and being lost in his rage (Barricade gouging his armour while freeing himself wasn't exactly pleasant either). It doesn't take long to notice the large, black robot charging at him with a sword.
Great, another one. Three Decepticons couldn't handle their own fight, they had to call for reinforcements, huh? Cowards! Slagging cowards! And what sort of Decepticon was that anyway? What a strange, blocky creature... with... an odd resemblance to Optimus Prime?
Letting out a string of loud, hateful curses, Bonecrusher fights harder to unlock his motor controls, managing to dig short furrows in the ground with loosening fingers. He needs to break free and attack! He refuses to go down pinned to the ground like some helpless insect. He hates them. He hates them all so much. He finishes off his stream of expletives with, "I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"

Frenzy yanks his jacks back, scrambles over the top of Bonecrusher's head, and leaps for his life.
//Barricade! Retrieval!//
Get him away!

"Kill us all? Oh, no. The only thing that dies today is your defiant spirit!" Scourge hisses. In a more commanding tone, he orders, "Barricade, Frenzy, Wreckage - fall back."
Scourge is pretty sure that he can handle Bonecrusher on his own. Arrogance or confidence, time will decide. However, he knows that handling anything on his own when he could have support instead is inefficient. Indeed, if he just wanted to murder Bonecrusher, he'd order Barricade, Frenzy, and Wreckage to stay right here, and he'd try to access how they could best work as a team to put Bonecrusher down.
Unfortunately for Scourge, the solution is not so simple as just murdering Bonecrusher. Given their situation, they need every Predacon or Decepticon they can get. Thus, it needs to be impressed into Bonecrusher's head that he can't just go around fighting his comrades.
Bonecrusher seems to not respect that three Decepticons haven't managed to handle him yet. Therefore, if Scourge wants to get the message across to Bonecrusher, it will be best done solo.
Looks like they're getting out of the way, anyway.
Scourge takes a flying leap to try to close the gap - and hopefully land his feet on some part of Bonecrusher.

Even before Frenzy makes that leap, Barricade is sliding into position to catch his partner, and the hacker's demand is followed almost immediately by, // On station. // Perhaps Barricade isn't the only one who has come to depend on his partner so tightly. Comforting thought, that.
Well, it would be, if Barricade were even giving it any thought at all, rather than simply just acting.
"Yes, sir," Barricade growls in reply to Scourge's command. Hey, playing nice with the superiors is rarely a bad idea. Besides, he wants a good - removed - view of this brawl.

Wreckage makes sure there is sufficient space between himself and the combatants that he should not become involved accidentally before he stops. Some Decepticons feel proprietary about their fights. He is uncertain if Scourge is one such warrior, but Scourge also ordered the rest of them out of the way. Far be it from Wreckage to flout a unit commander's authority.

As soon as Frenzy's jacks pull free of his chassis, Bonecrusher surges up from the ground... only to be slammed back into it as Scourge comes down on his injured shoulder. Wires spark and his arm spasms again, but remains functional. His minesweeping arm grinds painfully beneath him due to Scourge's added weight, only serving to further enrage the Buffalo.
Snarling out hate-filled obscenities, he makes a swipe for the leg pinning him down, trying to grab it and wrench it out from under Scourge. See if this strange not-quite-Optimus Prime-look-alike likes it down on the ground with him!

Frenzy lands in Barricade's hands and scrambles up his partner to the cop car's shoulder. His fingers sink in to hold on tight as he turns all four of his optics on the fight.

Skippable.

Scourge's leg is wrenched out from under him, and he slams into the ground. He does, however, have another leg. Scourge lays one arm flat on the ground and brings the other up to defend his head.
Now in a ground fighting position, he attempts to smash a snap-kick into Bonecrusher's torso.
Scourge actually laughs, head thrown back, as if he's having a grand old time.

Bonecrusher, unfortunately, does not have another leg. At least not a functional one, and that puts him at a disadvantage. He hates being at a disadvantage, and so he tightens his grip on the leg he grabbed with the intent to twist it about until something breaks. A kick from Scourge's other leg collides with his chest and shudders through his frame, loosening his hold for a moment though he quickly tries to regain his grip and dig his fingers into his opponent's plating. The kick hurt less than it should, despite the deep dent left in his chest; the result of one of Wreckage's earlier attacks.
He most decidedly not having a grand old time. At best he could be having a moderately entertained time if he were tearing someone to scrap. Brawling while injured, however? That's just downright irritating. The fact that Scourge is laughing at this just makes him want to pound the truck's head into sheet metal and impale his spark with his own vocalizer. Perhaps he shouldn't have started this fight in the first place, but Bonecrusher has no room for regret, only hate.

OOC: Wreckage is skippable, Frenzy is skippable, Barricade said in chat to skip him, so...
If Bonecrusher wants to tighten his grip on Scourge's leg, Scourge will have to make Bonecrusher learn to regret touching in such a manner. He attempts to actually scoot in closer to Bonecrusher, to put some slack into Bonecrusher's grip, and then he tries to whack another snap kick into Bonecrusher, but he aims this one up higher now that he's in closer, up at Bonecrusher's head.
In an almost calm, conversational manner, Scourge inquires, "Haven't you ever heard of 'Look, but don't touch'?"
His leg is twisting rather painfully, but Scourge is extremely durably built. He can keep this up for a little while longer before he has to start thinking about rescuing his leg.

Managing to lift a shoulder slightly in time, Bonecrusher narrowly avoids having his already smashed-in face getting any more crushed, Scourge's foot instead shattering one of the windows decorating his shoulder and horribly warping the metal frame surrounding it. It finally occurs to Bonecrusher that lying on his back is a really bad position to be fighting from.
Giving up on twisting Scourge's leg for the moment, he thrusts it away then rolls over onto all-fours, though his left leg dangles uselessly rather than providing any support. His damaged shoulder - and it just keeps getting more damaged doesn't it? - sparks in complaint, and threatens to give out on him. At least it's on the side facing away from his opponent now.
His final act upon rolling over is to lash out with his minesweeping arm, stabbing for the knee of the leg he was just twisting. That arm is looking like it might not last the battle, either, letting a few sparks of its own.
Sorry Scourge, Bonecrusher isn't much of a mid-battle conversationalist. He's more one for screaming incoherently with rage.
