Machine Wars - Escape from Cybertron

“Right; so let’s bust 'em out,” Forager says, moving over to Icepick’s pod to release the Decepticon.

Rippersnapper nodded, as he tries to do the same with Birdbrain’s pod.
The two pods seemed downright unbreakable. The glass holding them was extremely sold, at least for the fists and claws.

Forager looks for controls which he could use to open the pods.

He might observe a small trapdoor at the base of the pod, melted into it’s place.

Forager readies his pistol and aims for the glass window- at a space beside Icepick’s head. He shoots.

The glass partially cracks, but still stays rigid.

Forager shoots again, hoping to shatter the glass and wake Icepick up.

Once again, the glass would still stay still. The cracks, however, would grow deeper, and cold cryogenic smoke would get out of them from inside the tube.

Forager stows his pistols and tries his tail’s cutting laser. Maybe that would do the job better.

Seeing that the glass would already be partially weakened, the laser would be able to cut through it. It would take only a few moments till it would penetrate the tube and fall centimeters away of Icepick’s face.

Forager tries to cut through more of the glass around Icepick, moving carefully to avoid hurting the Decepticon.

Forager would be successful. He would also feel the cold air getting out of the pod and into his face.
Rippersnapper was constantly reloading his blaster, trying to brake Birdbrain’s pod. Either his blasters were weaker than Forager, or Birdbrain’s glass was stronger than Icepick’s, because it seemed to take more for him to do that than it took for Forager.
Ravage was silently walking around them, patrolling the area.

Forager readies his laser again and begins to cut Birdbrain out of his pod.

“Yeah yeah… Let’s switch…” Rippersnapper said, trying not to seem tired.

Forager works to cut Birdbrain free.

Once again, the already weakened glass is easily cut down.
At the other pod, Rippersnapper shoots one more time. The partially cut down glass brakes instantly.
“Done!” Rippersnapper says proudly, as if he was the one who did all the job.

“Yeah, good work pal,” Forager deadpans.

Eventually, Birdbrain’s glass would also collapse.
The two former Decepticon Pretenders would fall to the ground. Icepick would cough and throw out bits of a weird, blue-ish liquid, as Birdbrain was trembling his body still being extremely cold.

Forager watches the two as they wretch.

Birdbrain was the first one to get up.
“Re-re-re-ne—” he started mumbling scared.
From Forager’s left, Ravage suddenly started growling.
