One of the strangers has Carly in his protection, Chip is nowhere to be found, and Pincher- All right, what part of 'be mindful' did these people have a hard time with?
There is not a chance in the pit of her getting back over there before they rip his heart out. Hopefully someone else can.
Talaria strings another arrow. "Ehren! This is not just, and you know it!"

Hey! Hey! Why isn't the tank paying attention to her!
Fracture makes to tackle the little tank. This is not the least brightest idea she's ever had in her life, but it's pretty close.

Due to an animator forgetting one or two character cel layers in this scene – which might end up slipping back in at some point – Ultra Magnus is free to deal with the angry truck barrelling at him, arm outstretched. His rifle vanishes into storage to give him two free hands for grabbing that arm and trying to turn Bonecrusher's charge into an over-the-shoulder throw that, if it works, will aim Bonecrusher squarely at what's left of the statue.
He needs to get to Pincher.

OOC: Skipping Bonecrusher due to timeout.
The four tines of the sacrificial knife/sandwich-maker slide into the synthetic flesh of his chest and lodge against some synthetic bones. The damage does not seem too bad yet. it is only a primitive knife. Maybe he does not need to worry about subspace containment field breach...
Oh, by the Helix Gardens, why is that Titan twisting that four-tined knife?
Pincher's eyes widen when he sees that Guzzle is shooting, and he snaps one of the bonds just enough to sit up and take the hit of Guzzle's bullet. The damage looks pretty gruesome. Pincher comes apart at the seams, his Pretender shell splitting open to allow his inner robot to emerge. He hisses, "Guzzle, what in the name of atomic orbitals were you thinking? You could have hit one of the natives!"
His claws click together ominously. Sure, Pincher could have escaped sooner, but he was concerned about injuring the Titans! That is why he did not put up a fight against them.
The natives who were trying to sacrifice him think better of it, running off to try to help Jero escape.

Ehren admits, "What is just and what is are very different things... and there is electric lava all over the place right now." He wisely tries to evacuate.
Blast Off shoots at the ceiling and then keeps climbing the wall. Escaping through the ceiling is definitely his plan right now.

Carly pounds on the inside of Guzzle's chest. "Hey! Let me out of here!" she calls out angrily.
Meanwhile, Fleetwind stops fighting imaginary opponents to realize that the current room is now flooding with electric lava. He frowns. "Hmmm." Then he fires at the ceiling instead, in the same general area that Blast Off is firing at. Too bad his weapons are kind of puny.

OOC: Sorry for vanishing, folks. Long story, best left for another time.
Things have certainly gone sideways rather quickly, haven't they? Slugslinger, having frustratingly been in the vague netherworld of the Background while the fun stuff happened after flying up the stairs, now finds himself at a bit of a loss. How can he make this situation worse, especially for the Autobots? It's hard to get worse than the chamber is flooding with electric lava.
The answer, he decides, is harass their pet fleshies, and he heads for Chip first. The kid needs a set of wheels to get around; clearly he's the target of choice! Slugslinger transforms and lands, looming over him.
"Goin' somewhere, shorty?" he asks casually, as if he's just asking the time and they aren't about to be inundated in high-voltage molten rock.

Electric lava is not the strangest environmental hazard that Guzzle has ever seen. It is, however, rising with an alarming speed, and he is not sure that his current chassis has enough heat-coating to avoid melting. Or cooking his passenger.
Looks like he made a judgment call in saving Pincher though. The nerve of those non-murderous, non-IDW bots with a lack of gray morals! Before he can protest, though, he finds himself tackled by an angry racecar. He grunts as he falls down beneath the larger Decepticon's weight, then grunts again as he tries to swipe a fist at her face. "Ya really should think 'bout getting a full concealin' helmet, cause even I realize that you're one UGLY broad!"
Chip, meanwhile, is completely lost in the ensuing chaos, looking around for Carly, while trying to steer around the lava. It is a good thing that he still has his suit on, or he would really be feeling the heat right now! (Then again, this being electric lava, the laws of nature aren't that big of an issue to begin with.)
Of course, that brings him right in front of a Decepticon. But Chip does not flinch. He just glares up at the smirking Decepticon, his hand resting near the side of his wheelchair. "Yeah, I was." Then, suddenly, he pulls out a flare gun and fires it in the general direction of Slugslinger's face. "And you are in my way, Monocle-Man!"
If this doesn't work, he will feel very, very silly.

Gosh darn it, Ehren, stop using environmental hazards to avoid arguments!
One of the strangers still has Carly, Chip seems to be... doing acceptably as a warrior despite his lameness, and Pincher- Pincher does not seem to need assistance.
Not that that's going to stop Talaria.
"Pincher! It's time to go!"

Fracture rolls with the punch, then makes to headbutt Guzzle. "Broad? Man, Starscream's broad! Weirdo!"
Oh hey, there is electric lava rising around them. Fracture kicks at the ground, setting off a tremor that shakes loose rock and opens a small crevice.

Oh, there is plenty of murder and moral greyness in Dreamwave, too! Pincher just has a really obnoxious 'all life is sacred and important' thing going on, which he is trying to be especially careful of, because once he actually gets violent...
...he's afraid he won't stop.
Talaria's voice reaches Pincher through the chaos, a clarion cry in the maelstrom that is his mind. He murmurs, not likely to be discerned in all the chaos, "Yes... yes. We should evacuate most expediently."
Given that the terrain is shifting and treacherous, Pincher transforms into his monstrous scorpion mode, and he starts trying to clamber his way... not out, but towards Chip. They have to get him out, too, and the poor man is being harassed by Slugslinger! Hopefully Talaria will rendezvous with him, and then they can all get out.

With Fleetwind's help, Blast Off is able to shoot a hole in the ceiling. He climbs out and transforms, nobly running away and leaving the other Decepticons to their doom!
Okay, so he does land in a nearby clearing. He'll wait around a few hours. Maybe play some cards with Fleetwind. See if anyone else gets out.
Then he's going back to Ship.

Fleetwind wasn't ordered to retreat yet. But he wasn't ordered not to, either. In fact, Slugslinger is handling this whole leadership thing so terribly, it's almost suspicious, and if Fleetwind's own life had been threatened by the lack of direction, he'd consider stepping up.
But in fact, he has an escape route, and he's going to take it. He leaves through the whole in the ceiling, transforms, and follows Blast Off. For a moment, he's worried, because if Blast Off takes off into space, there's no way Flee can catch up with him. But he doesn't, so instead the Seeker just meets him in the clearing.
Meanwhile, Carly pauses in beating the inside of Guzzle's chest to look around, frowning. "Is it getting hot in here?" she asks.. no one in particular.

OOC: Everyone escapes. The end. Unless anyone has anything else to add.
