Mirage is surprised, but it doesn't show in his voice. //As you wish. I'll make any shots clean, so as not to spoil the trophy.//
With that Mirage switches to cloak and peels off.
Out of thread, and off to snipe.

Pee-Dee is charging out with Kup to fight the bad guys!
Well, lead the bad guys down a dark alley and help them resist arrest. Same difference some days.
She's really looking for someone very specific, but that specific someone peeled off before Pee-Dee got in sight of these mirror-Autobots. So she'll make do with what she can; probably see if she can give cool-blue-with-the-flame-job a helping hand down.
Meep-meep! goes her horn cheerily.

And despite disliking combat, Bluestreak is along for the ride/fight, keeping pace fairly easily with the others. His internals rev and roil with nervousness as he roars along, almost hurting with the built-up anticipation and fear. This is it... they're facing the dark mirror.
He's not looking forward to this at all. Shooting Decepticons he has no problem with, but other Autobots, even evil ones... every instinct he has screams against it. And there's that other terrible thought -- how will he know an enemy from an ally when he sees them?
He struggles to rein in his panic and keep his head cool. It'll be all right, he'll know the difference... these evil Autobots will be firing on him, for one thing...

Hmm, change of plan. That's a yellow Volkswagon. Plenty of Autobots have told him who that is supposed to be. Never met him before, at least in that form. The Concept Camaro advances, ready to plow into Goldbug.

"Mix it up, break it off!" Kup roars, the pre-arranged signal that it's time to lead these invaders on a merry chase through the city. And with that, he turns, tires screeching against the road, and suddenly darts off into one of the side roads himself. While it galls him to turn tail and run so fast, the Autobots have a better chance at picking the, erm, other Autobots off one by one than they do as a mass group.
Follow, follow, foes with friends' faces.
OOC: Swapped with Rodimus-3 by, erm, player permission.
Also, out of thread. Will be starting a new thread for anyone who wants to give chase.

If Rodimus is aware that he's being tailed, he gives no sign. Instead, he roars straight ahead. He is not slowing down for anything or anyone. If any Autobots, his own or others, do not get out of his way, he will run them over.
These are small fry out here, although Kup's a tempting target. There are more interesting targets further up and further in.
//If you give chase to any of these guys, be on the alert. I want them dead. That means following them. But there are probably traps Mirage didn't get mapped out.//
No, Rodimus is not stupid. He can see a ploy for what it is, but sometimes accomplishing your goals means falling for it, anyway.

Far, far to the rear, Skyfire transformed and lifted, following the DZ-3 Autobots into city airspace at a leisurely pace, as leisurely as he could manage with his wings spread for low-speed flight. He was Prime's transport, and it would not to do to risk such a valuable asset casually.
Besides, the advance waves should draw the lurkers out of hiding; as the attack progressed, more and more of the chess pieces would be moving forward, out of their prepared positions. Skyfire folded his wings and opened his throttle, climbing for altitude.
They'd sent Synapse to spy on the Decepticons when the first arrived. These Autobots would have their own Synapse up in the sky somewhere...

Disguises are the word of the day, and Jazz has probably seen his share of Cuckoos-- folks who'll scan a friendly to avoid getting shot. It doesn't work all the time. Just enough to make it annoying.
At Kup's command, the silver Solstice gives a whooping yell-- and breaks off. After he gets a little closer to oncoming traffic. Never let it be said that he's going to back down without at least coming within visual and audial range of them. If it weren't for the fact that he needs to lead 'em into the city, he'd try getting close enough to scrape paint-- without actually doing it. No sense in using the force shield this early in a battle.
To the east and the maze of buildings-- the crazy layouts and sharp turns.
Cue up the Crazy Town. This is going to be a wild ride.
Hopefully Jazz remembers where all the traps are.

This Jazz is most certainly not in Rodimus' way.
That would mean being far easier to pick off if these weaker versions of themselves happen to be smart enough to post a sniper... And the bold flash of silver means that Any hope held of there not being a mirror image is promptly shattered as the 'LOOK AT ME I'M SILVER!' car yells, and peals off.
Why can these things never be easy?
Jazz is holding back, for a moment, to see which directions an easier target might be heading.
Who knows. Maybe Holi will appear.

"I'm gonna show that old timer a trick or too," Nightbeat practically growls. He applies a burst of speed to race out ahead of his comrades, weapons at the ready.

"You want me, boys?" Arcee taunts, as she peels off on her own direction. "Then come and get me!"
She's got her anti-personnel weapons stored and armed, ready for just the right moment.

...Great. Just his luck, it's the other Bumblebee's counterpart, who could probably drive rings around him.
Only one thing to do then.
Hit the accelerate and play a little chicken.

... Okay. Kup went that way with Mirror Nightbeat hot on his tail. Arcee went that way. Jazz went that way. Mirror Bumblebee and Goldbug are trying to ram each other. Mirror Jazz is lurking. Mirror Perceptor went that way. Mirror Rodimus went that way.
Letting Mirror Perceptor run off on his own was dumb. Letting Mirror Jazz hang around on his own was dumb.
Clearly, she needed to kill two birds with one stone and get Mirror Jazz to chase her while she chased Mirror Perceptor.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
"Hey, laserlips, your momma was a Hoover!" Pee-Dee tosses a few quick laser-blasts at Mirror Jazz, before darting off in the general direction that Mirror Perceptor went in. Meep-meep!

It would perhaps have made more sense at first glance for Oracle to have joined the other jets in their attack, but honestly, unless she was playing chase and pounce, what good was she in an air to air battle? Better for her to join the ground charge and look for a playmate there instead, where she could actually have some fun.
Speaking of fun, that was a bright and flashy silver car tearing off and looking a whole lot like they were trying to be bait. And who was she to turn down such a lovely invitation? It was rather enjoyable after all to see their reactions when she neatly slipped between the jaws of the trap.
Twisting around she followed Jazz away from the others, keeping a wary lookout for surprises. She was quite delighted that she had already managed to get one away from the herd though, that was exactly her sort of fight.
OOC: Posting through and away!

And both Autobot charges split off in every direction, chasing and being chased, scattering to the winds of war... and leaving Bluestreak wondering where the slag to go from here. Because at this rate it looks like... himself vs. the Flaming Winnebago of Doom? Those don't sound like good odds...
He hits his brakes, spinning a cookie before taking off in another direction entirely. Then he shouts, forcing as much bravado into his voice as he can: "Hey! Over here! Catch me if you can!"
Then he hauls aft, hoping against hope that the evil Rodimus follows. Maybe he can lead him into a trap...
