"For a brief, falsely bright moment," Dead End told Wildrider as he skidded to a halt and transformed back to robot mode. "Usually right before a horrible death."
He looked up, his visored head tracking the launch of Omega Supreme. "For example, any moment now, Omega Supreme there will incinerate us from above. Just one shot, and poof--it'll be all over. Just a big crater where we were standing."

Demolishor, quite unaware of any impending fates (although he'll probably find someone to yell at later), stomps over to Mixmaster and takes up a sullen but defense position next to him.
"Hi. I'm guarding you," he says by way of introduction, not even bothering to look at him. The explosions are far more interesting anyway, in the way that he's happy for his side but annoyed that he didn't get to be part of it.
Stupid fast cars beating him to everything. When will they learn that battles are supposed to be standing around shooting at people for no good reason or grabbing their fists and pushing against them with loud grunting noises?

Being obliterated along with everything around him almost sounds like the best way to go for Wildrider. Not that he wants to go offline, let alone is counting on it, like Dead End.
Wildrider waits a moment in awkward silence, unaware Dead End was radioing for further orders. "Uh, so now whaddawe do?"

Hmm. The mech was still alive, Hook must be in a particularly vindictive mood today.
Poor Demolishor.
"If you're going to be standing around then carry this." Mixmster picks up a random chunk of warped metal and tosses it carelessly at Demolishor, whether it's taken or not doesn't really bother him any.

A certain dark blue and purple Seeker jetted overhead, looking for targets--and spotted a colorful line of vehicles straggling in and out of streets near the demolished Autobase. More Autobots to slag!
"BOO-YAH!" Duskwing began his strafing run, but long before his laser bolts could hit anywhere near the column he spotted very familiar shades of lime green and purple--and another vehicle in the same colors.
Then one of the cars transformed into Dead End. Oops. Duskwing turned off his guns even faster than he'd armed them and pulled up and banked sharply away.
// HEY! If youse gonna be cars, at least get emblems a guy can see from the air! I coulda shot alla youse guys! // Duskwing snapped over the radio.

Apparently, no one could think for themselves anymore. (Of course, had the Stunticons wandered off without requesting further orders, Hook would think less of them for not checking to see if he was done with them. It's hard to win with the crane.)
//The Autobot base has collapsed, their power-receiving station is destroyed, the Autobots themselves have fled... Go find Thundercracker and bring him back more or less intact.//
Less if he's annoying, more if he's not. Alternatively, the Stunticons can use their own discretion about whether or not Thundercracker deserves to be brought back 'more' intact.
Hook turned at the whine of jet-engines and the blast of lasers, gaped at who he saw doing the strafing run. Oh, that idiot surely wasn't-
Oh. No, he almost was.
//Duskwing, do you require additional training in identifying enemy and friendly forces? In your off-duty hours, perhaps?//

"Wildrider, Hook has ordered us to find and retrieve Thundercracker. Most likely he's a crushed ruin in the rubble of the Autobot base, but I suppose we should find him," Dead End said as he transformed back into car mode.
"At the very least, I can update the obituary list," he said as he drove toward the pile of rubble that used to be the Autobot base. "Perhaps there'll be some Autobot stragglers to entertain you."

Demolishor catches it, scowling at him. "I'm not standing around, I'm making sure you're still standing once this stupid thing's over."
Since his hands are also his main weapons, he can't hold the scrap metal while he's fighting. He stares at it for a moment, then grumpily wedges it down between his turrets and gives it a good thump to make sure it stays there while he's busy moving around.
At the sound of Duskwing's engines, he whirls, arms up and ready to fire until he sees Duskwing's colors and relaxes again. It's one of their guys and it's not shooting at him or his quarry. That's what's important.

"Aww, see?" Wildrider cackles. "Now you're thinking positive!" He takes off after his brother.

What do you know. Demolishor was actually going to keep-!
The roar of a jet's engines had him dropping to his knee and looking up in alarm, his laser pistol coming up sharply. He abruptly relaxed, however, as Duskwing broke off his course. And snickered at the messages coming over the comm.
"Well, Demolishor," he said, turning back to his job with laughter still coloring his voice, poking through the half collapsed mound. "What do you think of this, eh?" He's not expecting much by way of useful input, but he's not above relieving boredom with talk.

Nobody here he was supposed to shoot; nobody here he even wanted to shoot. Duskwing rolled his wings and zipped off, looking for something else to do...
Hmm. Maybe he should report in. Sky-Byte was his immediate superior, right?

Duskwing flies off, the Stunticons are driving off to accomplish their new goal, Mixmaster is punishing Demolishor for being alive, and they have incoming wounded.
//Mixmaster, if you don't find someplace suitable before the first of the wounded shows up, I will be very disappointed in your abilities. Not surprised, mind you, but still disappointed.//
Knowing Mixmaster, the range of response from this could extend from one end of the spectrum of usefulness to the other. Somehow, Hook can't bring himself to care which one it will be. Especially not when Demolishor is in close vicinity to the cement-truck.
---
Aight, it's about time to wind this thread down. Closing it next time Hook comes up. Anything further that you guys wish to do should be split off into new threads. We'll probably be having a Decepticon time-skip in the not-too-distant future.

Dead End ignored the meandering Seeker; he had other work to do and headed off to do it.

"I don't think this mess even has a point to it, myself. We just knocked over a bunch of Autobot stuff, we didn't get anything out of it." Of course, Demolishor barely got to shoot at anyone. He may be a touch biased. "We gonna go or what?"

Wildrider takes off after Dead End, but seems more interested in ploughing through rubble than sticking to the task at hand.
And Wildrider's out too.
