Bombshock pulls himself out of the small crater he’d made, bares his fangs, and retorts with a defiant shriek like a hundred buzzsaws in a lumberyard. His horn transforms into a laser cannon, and he shoots a crimson beam at Zepar.
Zepar activities his energy shield to try and block or redirect the beam back at the Neo-Decepticons and returns fire using his Dark Cybermatter enhancements to send a torrent of dragonfire at Bombshock.

Zepar’s shield blocks the beam, and Bombshock scuttles away from the violet fireball the angelicon sent his way. He transforms into his robot mode, looking like the bipedal forms of the insecticon warriors aboard Salvation, only greatly larger, with massive arms and a set of secondary appendages below his chest, ending in sickle-like blades. Bombshock points a crooked finger at Zepar, and a mob of insecticons rushes for him, trying to latch onto his body.
The brothers spin and roll to avoid the shots, firing their weapons at the soldiers as they did so.

The soldiers, five in all, take cover behind some of the machinery around the engine core, dodging the brothers’ barrage. Three peek out and fire again on the jets.
Thrust and Lightshift continue flying towards the troopers, while Vigor dodges more shots and fires at the three who were peeking out.
One of the troopers is shot and killed by Vigor while the rest take cover. Two of them come up to shoot at Thrust and Lightshift.
Thrust and Lightshift transform, landing in front of the two soldiers.
Lightshift throws a punch at one, while Thrust swings his sniper rifle at the other.
The two troopers are struck and stagger out of cover. They quickly recompose themselves and activate the energy bayonets on their rifles. The other three soldiers rise up and shoot at the three brothers (@meepinater).

Zepar roars as he charges at Bombshock. The drones were now the targets of several missiles and a stream of bullets from a couple angles. Oh, and a big old energy blast was en route as well.
Garand, Epsilon and Zepar’s CLUTCH Drone joined the fight.
Zepar’s friends take out the insecticons swarming him, and Bombshock meets his charge head-on, trying to grapple Zepar with his upper set of arms.
More insecticons gather around Garand and Epsilon, a bio-mechanical sludge oozing from their mouths. They try to weave webs of the stuff around the two to immobilize them.
Zepar’s buddy ignites as he tries to drive his sabers through Bombshock’s Spark.
Garand, Epsilon and the drone move to keep the insecticons occupied and from hitting them while trying to whittle down their numbers.
Bombshock catches the blades in his hands, snarling as sparks fly and drops of energon drip between his fingers. He yanks his arms to his sides while launching a kick at Zepar’s chest.
OOC: I’m gonna need you to be a bit more descriptive in how the three are reacting here. Sorry for that.
OOC: basically, death blossom plus evasive maneuvers.
IC: Zepar gets knocked back and dark dragon fire pours from his arm cannon.

OOC: works for me. Thanks.
IC: The insecticons weave through the ammunition launched their way, fearing little for their own safety. Many of them are struck and drop onto the earth, but more come to replace them.
Bombshock releases Zepar’s swords and backs away as the fire rolls over him. He screeches and shakes his head vigorously as he starts to feel the draining effects of the Dark Energon behind Zepar’s attacks.
Zepar pours the fire on Bombshock as he uses the Twilight Saber to try and get some good swings in.
Zepar’s friends continue their own assault, trying to move as unpredictably as possible while covering each other’s backs.
Zepar draws long gashes on Bombshocks upper arms, but when he gets close, the predacon hybrid slashes back with his own blades on his secondary pair of arms.
The insecticons surround Epsilon and Garand, leaving them little room to evade them as they spin gooey ropes of biomechanical gunk around them.
Epsilon sends out a death blossom of missiles and activates his distress beacon.
Zepar roars louder and the flames become more and more intense, “You will bow to me!!!” He yells. He feels his rage boiling, the Predacon inside was showing as each of his swings came down with more ferocity than the last.
The missiles seek out and destroy the insecticons swarming around Epsilon and Garand, and a few crewmembers come running over to respond to the beacon.
Bombshock grows weaker as the fight drags on, eventually foregoing attack altogether and remaining entirely on the defensive. A swing from Zepar’s great sword hacks off his upper right arm below the elbow, and he drops onto one knee.
Thrust and Lightshift fire their respective weapons at two of the soldiers, while Vigor remains behind them, providing cover fire.
