"I don't think we have time for that!" Override shouts as the twins talk about combining.
It's a valid concern, given her home reality.
She drives beneath one of the crabs' legs and then spins around in a bootlegger's turn, driving at the crabs from behind. This time, however, she does not fire, and instead drives up the back of one of the creatures, using it as a ramp. Once she's in the air, she snaps into robot mode, spinning in the air to fire off a few shots at one of the crab's 'face' before she even lands.
"Concentrate on the face! The body is too heavily armored!"

A sort of creeping horror grows in Sentinel Prime when he realises that knocking over these hideous swamp freaks is doing nothing but messing up his completely sweet plow, a chilling helplessness that - oh, nevermind, Override has a good idea.
Sentinel Prime transforms and tries to slam his shield, spikes out, into the nearest creature's face, shouting, "In the face, ugly urchin!"
He's definitely enjoying this way too much. Better hope there aren't any video games centered around killing evil kittens. It would be embarrassing to have to explain why he was playing that.

"I am not sure how it would be working with the clothes!" Jetstorm answers, giving the crab he'd just blown back a roundhouse in the face once Override points out the weak point.
"Though transformation rearranges the clothes, but how would it be combining outfits? Ah...perhaps we should be finding out later! Is not going to be so hard to take out ugly monsters!"
Override's target goes down, and Sentinel Prime's is staggered. The remaining two start after Override, as she took one down first!

"This is good point, brother!" Perhaps the twins will have to learn a funny dance.
For now, Jetfire leaps after one of Override's attackers, thrusters ablaze, attempting to arc over it and deliver a blast of fire - not strong enough to make the game think he should wait a turn! - to it's face. At least he will if nobody else gets it first!

Well, at least Sentinel helped this time, right?
Right?
Override smirks as she notices that she's now the target. "Oh? Want to play chase, huh?" she taunts before snapping down into vehicle mode.
"Catch me if you can!" she shouts, rolling towards the others in an attempt to lead the crabs into her teammates' weaponfire.

Sentinel Prime has a brief and ugly competitive snap in which he decides to crack out his lance (oh right, he has one) and tries to impale it right clean through the crab-thing's head. He complains, "Ugh, these things are so disgusting. What kind of messed up Cybertron has... squishy critters on it?"
If his nose could wrinkle, it'd be wrinkled now.
Meanwhile, everyone else makes a good show of teamwork while Sentinel Prime is having his mental break with battlefield etiquette.

Jetfire's blast strikes critically, and gets a combo - the crab-beast flails in place as he is consumed by fire, shell turning red, and he soon collapses. A trophy appears over Jetfire's head, and confetti fires off around him! He will see in his HUD "Achievement Unlocked: Crab Steamer!"
The second monster follows Override, and Jetstorm takes the initiative here, pulling out the fan from before. He swings it, sending a slicing focused wave of wind at the creature's face - the excess makes his armor spark from impact, but does nothing of importance - the bit that hits his face, however, causes him to wail and stumble, covering his weak point with his claws.
Sentinel's opponent catches the lance - with his face, and after twitching a few times, falls limp. Looks like he got lucky and hit something important!
Still the one left, though...

"Hah! I am achieved!" Jetfire says, posing proudly for a moment before evaluating the field. Only one monster left! It's closer to Override and Jetstorm, but that's not going to stop him from at least trying to help.
Taking off after the final crab-monster, aims to boot it in the back. He doesn't expect to do much damage, but it could make a good distraction for anyone attacking the monster from the front.
He's too distracted with butt-kicking for goodness to respond to Sentinel's griping.

As Jetfire takes out the last crab1, Override leaps back onto vehicle mode and transforms, spinning back towards the others. "That's the last of them, right?"" She looks around. "Is there another one of those boxes, then?" Not that she's even used the apple she got from her first box. She's just started getting curious over what's inside the things, since it always seems to be different.

A box appears rather near Jetfire!
Sentinel Prime has a brief moment where he wonder just what the... fresh slag he was doing there, and he shivers a bit. He decides on complaining again, with less feeling, "That was disgusting. I should have been more specific on the simulation parameters."

Jetstorm puts his hands on his hips and grins over at Sentinel Prime. "Oh, be coming on, Sentinel Prime sir - no need to be crabby! They were not so tough!"
Maybe Jetstorm's been hanging around with a bad pun-maker too much...

Jetfire swaggers up to the chest, his own chest puffed out proudly, and throws it open to find... a Crypt Key(per person)! Apparently they need to go to a crypt at some point? He feels like they should have conveniently encountered an NPC to tell them this. He's also not sure what each of them needs a key for. Surely one would do!
Sentinel has also finally earned some of his own loot and he gets his very own Battle Princess Outfit! While unequipped it just looks like a generic pile of fabric, but presumably it'll take a form to suit its wearing when Sentinel tries to put it on. He also gets his share of energy restoration items: ocean topazes!
There is also a giant rock hammer which can only be wielded by earth-types, a glass flute - a single-used item that can summon a swarm of tiny Insecticons - and a phoenix down which, despite expectations, is a healing item for fire-types rather than a resurrection item.
Jetfire pouts a bit, figuring that he should totally have gotten more stuff, then grins. "Is being good haul for party!"
Tucking his phoenix down into his inventory, he takes to the air and waits for his companions to gather their own spoils of combat.

Override picks up her key and her hammer, although she holds the hammer at arm length, a puzzled frown pulling at her lips.
"So is this a weapon, or do I just clear obstacles with it?" She doesn't wait long for a reply, however. As soon as she sees that the others are grabbing their stuff, she falls into vehicle mode and guns it.

Sentinel Prime shoots a jealous glance at the hammer. The Stormbreaker Hammer is the staff of office for the Magnus! Rare of the common soldier who would dare wield a hammer.
In a huff, he tugs on his outfit.
The game announcer says loud, "Uranus Crystal Power, Make Up!"
Suddenly, Sentinel Prime is surrounded by glowy ribbons and is improbably censored by sparklies. Apparently, someone might find that rigid grill structure that decorates his chest offensive? When the ribbons recede, he's in... a white, blue, and yellow sailor fuku. Gold hoop earring hang off his antennae. A gold tiara dips down his forehead, coming to a point at a blue gem. A navy blue choker encircles his neck, marked with a gold star.
Of course there are bows.
Sentinel Prime examines what this has done to his stats and exclaims, "Wow, this is a major buff to armour!"

Since no one else took it, Jetstorm is left with the flute, which he quickly puts into his inventory. Jetstorm turns around as Sentinel Prime powers up, and gives him a thumbs-up! "Is being an excellent battle princess outfit!"
He would ask if the bows are deflectors, but Override's already taking off! "Ah, we are the fallen behind!" He hops into the air and jets after Override!
