At Sentinel Prime's suggestion, Jetstorm jumps up in the air from behind the shield, and flies up to be at head-level.
"How's about you chill off, big ugly?" Clearly, the ill-advised pickup lines run in the family. Chill out and cool off are totally interchangeable, right?
Whenever the beast opens its mouth again, Jetstorm will unleash a horizontal cyclone at the monster!

"Good thinkings, Sentinel Prime, sir-ma'am!" Jetfire flies about, trying to keep the plant's attention and trigger it to spit fire at him. Because hey! As a fire-based Transformer himself, he too is strong against fire attacks!
"I will lend a hand to you, brother!" Sure, Jetstorm's wind attacks will probably do more damage, but surely it can't hurt to lend a few fireballs! This plant-monster obviously doesn't have enough affinity with fire to be healed by it.

"Good catch!" Override exclaims as Sentinel points out the pattern. She runs out towards the thing, shouting, "Hey, pesticide breath! You can't seem to hit a moving target, but I'm betting your aim's so bad you couldn't even get me if I stood still!" And then she does stand still, weapon raised, waiting for the attack.
The monster's maw opens again, and Jetfire, Jetstorm, and Override all fire down its throat. Rather than firing, the thing flails in brief panic, and then rumbling can be heard from it. As its internal fire-making systems back up, it starts to spew forth smoke before toppling over and bursting into flame! It twitches once or twice, and then stops moving.
And then a treasure chest appears in front of it.
OOC: May I recommend that we rotate who controls the monsters/obstacles/puzzles? So, say, Sentinel would come up with the next one, and so forth? Also, feel free to be creative about what's in the chest.

OOC: After checking with Override's player, I'm going to go ahead and assign her to Earth and Sentinel to Water, which is terrible, because Sentinel hates rain. If anyone else joins, they can pick new elements, like Light or Void or Mind or Blood or whatever.
Sentinel Prime shoulders his shield and scuttles towards the treasure chest, after everyone else did the hard work. He greedily pops it open and is greeted by an ocean of star rubies, which restore fire mana and are thus completely useless to him. There is also a golden apple, which restores the health of earth-types, and an ornate hand fan, which is some sort of weapon for air-types.
Apparently, monsters only drop goods for party-members who assisted in damaging the monster.
Sentinel Prime pouts and stands. No sweet swag for him! He transforms and rolls out, shouting, "Onwards!"
But there's something following them, just out of the corners of their optics, something... sparkling.
If they look into their inventories, they may find some of their CD collections and photographs (both game constructs) suddenly and mysteriously missing, as if a deranged stalker boyfriend was attempting to deny them solace in the simple comfort of music and photographs of happy memories!

Jetstorm drops down to where Sentinel Prime is, and picks up the hand fan, tilting his head at it. "It is being a strange thing, but..." He turns away, and swings it whilst open, and a cutting wind-wave flies out, impacting a nearby structure violently, but not damaging it. Jetstorm grins at the thing. "I am liking this!"
Jetstorm takes off into the air once Sentinel pushes them onward, stowing the fan away and transforming, following after Sentinel. (And probably going on ahead of him 'cause he's fast like that.) He misses the disappearance of the items, though.

Perhaps in the next altercation Sentinel Prime can earn himself some sweet threads!
"Ooh!" Jetfire says, entranced by the collection of star rubies. "I am much liking this also, brother!"
He struggles for a moment figuring out how to use the inventory system - and also misses the lost items, not having noticed that he had an inventory until this point. The Twins really need to work on their observational skills it seems - then proceeds to shovel the gems into his. He pauses at the last one, curious about how he's supposed to use them.
Shrugging, he pops the ruby into his mouth... and promptly belches fire. Did the sim computer scan his candy? That was all tingly!
"Ah! Coming Sentinel Prime, sir-ma'am!" Taking to the air he transforms and jets off after his brother.

Override picks up the apple, frowns, tilts her head, and tosses it into the air once or twice before attempting to put it in her inventory. Since she hadn't accessed her inventory system before now, either, she, also, doesn't notice the disappearances.
(Besides, video games aren't really her thing.)
She smirks with amusement as Sentinel takes off ahead of her, then chuckles, "Sure, I'll be right there." Then she drops into vehicle mode (skipping the shouting this time) and quickly overtakes the snow plow.

Sentinel Prime is a bad driver. Now, on 'Cybertron', he's an okay driver, but he's still not great or even good, and this fact is made worse by the fact that he keeps falling off the edge of the screen due to everyone else being faster.
So he eventually ends up swerving so hard that he tears up some of the metal floor. Hidden under the floorboards are a whole bunch of CDs and photographs! They go flying up and fluttering through the air! In the photographs, the game has written some crazed history for the quartet, which mostly seems to involve tea parties, state functions, balls, and stone-cold butt-kicking that constitutes a teaser peek of the prequel game that will be coming out next year. The game has also assigned them the most nonsensically inappropriate CDs it can. Sentinel Prime likes listening to Barbie Girl, right? Override gets some Chariots of Fire, and confusingly, Jetfire gets Earth, Wind, and Fire.
So that's why Jetstorm's stuck with Spice Girls.
Sentinel Prime thinks that the only valid reaction is to transform and shout, "The slag?" His affinity for Curses increments slightly.
There's still a sparkly figure creeping up on them, hoping they're all distracted by the photographs and CDs.

At the sound of the floor ripping, Jetstorm transforms to see what happened. Then he transforms twice more - once to jet back to where Sentinel is, then again to robot mode, landing amid the flutter of items.
He grabs a photo out of the air, peering at it. "I am not remembering doing this..."

Jetfire is quick to join Jetstorm and Sentinel at the cache of fabricated personal items, very much distracted by CDs and photographs. Grabbing several more out of the air, he glances over them. Jetfire likes taking photos, but these certainly aren't any of the ones he's taken! He gives an especially odd look to a picture of Fire Lord Perceptor and Fire Lady Wheeljack, though he doesn't recognize their garb as anything other than resembling his own.
"Sims room can to be making records of things that have not been happening?" For some reason this seems a great deal stranger than just being able to create fantasy worlds.

Override whips around, skidding into a u-turn before driving back to rejoin the others. "Hey, what's the hold u-" she starts as she transforms, landing in a run before skidding to a start.
The interruption comes as a slight sparkle catches her attention, and she turns to look for it, optics narrowed.
"Something's out here."

Sentinel Prime scowls over some photographs of a silver-wigged Queen Ultra in a beautiful silver gown hugging a blond-wigged Princess Optimus, both of them perfectly elegantly composed, while Princess Sentinel sulks in the background as some kind of palace guard. He tears it up in half and then quarters and angrily throws the pieces away. Sentinel Prime growls, "Just stupid fakes, don't worry about them."
He turns to look the direction that Override is looking, asking, "What is i-" when a statuesque robot vampire, who sparkles like his armour was made of white marble and then crusted with pave diamonds tackles Sentinel Prime to the ground and tries to tear out his throat with long, white fangs.
A wild Stalker Vampire has attacked! - Speak - Aggress - Magic - Flee

>Aggress
Jetstorm draws back at the initial strike, but quickly draw the fan he just got out of his inventory. He swings it, with the wide side facing down, sending a thin, cutting blast of wind at Sentinel Prime's attacker!

>Magic
Jetfire's intention wasn't actual to do magic. He just wanted to help Jetstorm blast the sparkling menace off of Sentinel with a great big blast of flame! But apparently trying to do so triggers a magic attack in this simulation. A magic attack with a charge up time, to boot. And so instead of frying their opponent, Jetfire finds himself rather unexpectedly striking a pose, his arms raised to the sky and his legs planted wide. A glowing red circle appears beneath his feet and his clothing swirl dramatically.
"Um," he says, confused. "I am not intending to doing this." Pause. "And I cannot be unposing."

What? Surely you weren't expecting Override to try to Parlay just because she's the party female, right?
(After all, they're all pretty princesses!)
"Cyber key power!" Override shouts, summoning her cyber-key for the second time this fight. She fires immediately, taking just long enough to aim that she can be sure she won't hit Sentinel, though she does frown as she glances up towards Jetfire.
"Wait... the simulation's controlling you?" she asks. For a moment, the idea that there are pretty bad implications to that tickles at the back of her mind, but Override's always been more a practical thinker than a philosophical one, and she has a stalker vampire to deal with in the here and now.
