Duskwing jinks violently, avoiding most of Goldbug's shots, though a couple score his fuselage. Then one of the Bumblebees aims that hand-cannon at him--
"Slag this up a cannon backwards!"
Too many Autobots aiming at Duskwing and not each other. He backpeddled over the shielding edge of the building behind him and transformed, then turned and flew away, looking for less wary targets.
--- Out-of-thread for now

Well, at least this gives Goldbug the hint he needs of who's who!
He quickly takes aim and fires at the one who tackled the good-version.

Is it?
Both Bumblebees got bombed by Duskwing. Both Bumblebees have their own reasons to shoot at him.
The one Bumblebee Goldbug is shooting at--he hits. However the same Bumblebee gives him a surprised look. The two of them break free from their grapple.
A short-range transmission is made. //goldbug, it is me. shoot the other one.//
The trouble is, another transmission is made. //no, goldbug. don't trust him. you have the right guy.//
The real Bumblebee is very frustrated, there's little he can do that the other couldn't follow up with. However he decided to try something else, just in case.
He plays some music.
Flight of the Bumblebee plays from the Bumblebee that Goldbug just shot at. In fact, it's such a nonsequitr decision that the other one is almost taken aback. He turns to his other self and, without thinking, says "...What the?"

Damn. He used to be smart. Somedays, Goldbug swears he's been getting dumber ever since he and Blaster struck out of their own.
But when the music plays, his face plates twist into an approximation of a smile. "Time to put the mad dog down," he snarls, opening fire again, this time on the proper target.

This time Bumblebee does NOT engage in melee. He extends two missiles, firing both at his doppelganger.
I'm Slim Shady yes I'm the real Shady all you other Slim Shadys are just imitating...
No accounting for taste, but Bumblebee's point gets through.

What's going on? Why is he playing music? How come he's still not talking? How did Goldbug know?
The evil Bumblebee catches all the blasts dealt to him, all of which leave distinguishable marks on his torso. He can no longer pass off as his local counterpart. And at this point, he is far too frustrated to attempt any subterfuge. He howls with rage as he lunges at Goldbug.

WHUMP!
The collision of two mechanoids is always a noisy affair, but Goldbug is prepared. He starts himself falling backward, intent on using Bumblebee's momentum against him in move he picked up from human martial arts movies.

Bumblebee-1 is just getting skipped, and, er, posted in here with player permission again.
Bumblebee wasn't expecting the flip, and gets thrown back towards the wall of a nearby building, landing violently back-first.
He is getting beaten up more than he was expecting. However, there is something else he can do to get at this one.
His hand reconfigured into gun-mode and ready to blast anyone who gets near him, he reaches to an internal compartment with his left hand.
He pulls out a small toy car.
"Look familiar?"

Goldbug's optics go wide in surprise. "That's..."
An evil duplicate of himself. Who, if he weren't stuck like that, would probably be trying to kill him right now. Sometimes, you had to make the hard choices.
"Maybe... But that's not the issue now." He pulls his gun and fires again.

The blast Bumblebee takes square in the chest was so worth it to see the reaction from Goldbug.
He stows his favourite toy away before the other kids try and break it.
Transforming into a much crappier Camaro, the evil Autobot makes his escape, weaving through the buildings.

The good Bumblebee turns his music off as his missile launchers retract. He makes his way over to Goldbug, trying his best not to wince when he moves.
//that trick isn't as funny when other people do it to you.//
He transforms.
//we should find the others.//

Goldbug nods, before transforming into his own vehicular form. "Yeah."
He revs his engine. "Let's roll."
((Out?))

//agreed.//
Bumblebee takes off in the direction of the triage thread, presumably with Goldbug in tow.
Out.
