Lowly slave to the fallen Shockwave! Surrender to the forces of Soultron or taste the inferno of my righteous fury!! Await my command to strike. Tempest nods and transforms to hover near Sonicboom, vaguely remembering him from somewhere. Tempest starts to smile for who knows what reason. This slapdash scrapmech he'd reformatted was doing REAL good right about now.
She didnt know who to shoot first. Hold him still for me! I'm gonna blow out his C. No, of course I wont hit you. I'm a very good aim, now do as I say! Aluminus busied himself on the ground front. A Seeker strafed his position! HE had to smile, this was going to be fun. Putting aside thoughts of Shear and her new, but possibly unstable counterpart, he ran out and transformed. It swooped again, lower this time.
This tiem around it wound up in a near collision with a large red and white Aerospace Jet! Aluminus wasnt feeling particularly creative at this point. It was enough work coming up with a giant hologram of a Seeker, Mega Class. Now he had to name it? To the pits with that. He emerged from hiding, firing every weapon on his frame.
He had to keep this bot away from Sondbyte. Headmounted laser scored a shot, holing it's chest and his rifle fired the seeker's head to glowing bits.
Sensors were picking up more mechanized activity off in the distance! It corresponded to neither Decepticon nor Autobot energon signatures!
Did the Natives of this dirtball possess robots and other mechanized weaponry of their own?? Skyscythe, uhm, at your earliest convenience, tell me what you can see from up there. I'm picking up numerous approach signals. Aluminus fell, stunned and missing an arm Soundbyte turned to look at Aluminus.
The Weapons of the ark now fire more accurately at their designated targets, missing Soultron's team. Soundbyte goes over to Aluminus. She gets down and picks up the rest of his arm. Shots begin to fire in their direction from the new sources of destruction and the seekers above.
Soundbyte puts her palms in the air and creates a sound shield around her and aluminus. This won't take long to fix. You have to fight it.
His metal structure reflected decay and age as he tumbled aimlessly in the darkness. I want it to end. And so must mine. His body arched as the electro-synthesis began to bring life throughout the blackened metal. Tiretrack stood a short distance away watching the battle in awe and terror as the alien forces engaged her friends.
Without Soultron this endeavor was hopeless. They would soon be defeated by the Decepticons and returned to the smelting pools on Cybertron. Our time is here. Tiretrack looked up at the strange figure that stood next to her. She could only watch as Soultron glared up at the burning sky.
As Shootdown spiraled towards Skyscythe, he ignited his flame cannons allowing his outer structure to be covered in an intense heat. Sonicboom shook his head in disbelief. They may finish the job for us. Soultron and Outflyer flew overhead of the Ark's gravesite, quickly discovering the band of autobots making their way to the entrance of the Ark. The Autobots stopped dead in their tracks. All of these emotions filled them as they saw the figure of a Transformer they had hoped they'd never see again.
It took a nanosecond for Aftershock to transform and Tekbat and Xcessor to pull their weapons, all of them targeting Soultron and Outflyer. Headrush could only stand there, helplessly, and stare at the broken and limp body of Fender. She didn't seem as damaged as she had before, but her metal casing was still cracked and broken in places.
Her optics were gray Aftershock's turret targeted Soultron and the Seeker, his missiles ready to fire. Tekbat was the first to dispute. Headrush, they've got Fender! He stopped to calm his voice - filled with pain and anger - and motioned his hand down. Soultron could not help but smile upon the helpless Autobots. They outnumbered him and could easily overpower him with numbers alone, but because of an inherent flaw within all Transformers of their kind he had the advantage.
They were weak and having such a deficiency meant Soultron had the advantage, no matter what. On the contrary, your precious Autobot is alive because of me.
Your friend Fender, will recover after more repairs are made to her, but her life signs are stable. Why do I come here to aid you? It is an unavoidable circumstance given the choices we have made. I stand against the Decepticon army and though I show no favoritism to the Autobot cause, I would be willing to extend a temporary cease in hostilities until our current situation is resolved.
In other words, I do not wish to fight two wars now and it would be in your benefit to comply. However there is a condition to this proposal dear friends. I ask that you aid me in defeating the remnants of Shockwave's forces and I will allow you to reclaim Fender and repair Manticore without interference.
So what will it be Autobots? Accept my offer or fight the final battle of your existence here in this mountain. The choice is yours.
Headrush nodded. While the young bot was rash and reckless at times, he knew when a situation called to make the most undesirable choice. He might make a fine leader one day, he thought. Headrush shook these thoughts away, there was no time for reflection or consideration.
There was a battle to be won, and he needed to secure the safety of his troops. And the Ark. He outstretched his arms to receive Nova. Before we change our minds. Skyscythe Flew towards the uncoming Skootdown. The flames began to subside. Shootdown and Skyscythe grapple in midair, Shootdown chokes on Skyscythe, bty Sky breaks free and reverses the hold til both are on a fatal deathlock.
They each try to push each other using their jets at maximum speed. The harder I Push Against You The Harder You Push? Surrender Now before you hurt yourself. Skyscythe and SHootdown begin to spiral down in the opposite direction towards the ground, near the ark's entrance. They reach about 2o feet off the ground. They both hit the ground real hard in front of the arks entrance, causing a shockwave.
Headrush struggles against his own revulsion and hatred of Soultron, meanwhile keeping his own tops from reckless action against teh mysterious decepticon they had alll thought dead. Shear's eyes flashed like twin suns.
A powering up noise filled her ears as her frame rattled with potential violence. Sonicboom paused, unconsciously drawing away. He caught himself withdrawing and corrected this not wanting to seem weak in front of this female Decepticon. Shear stood still in air, then drew her chopperblades.
She growled like a hungry lioness then pounced him, blades spinning at their fastest. She then activated her turbine shuriken lanchers and streaked at him, optics full of promise of destruction and the assurance that she did indeed plan to end this. After all, what fun is a dead target? A whirring crunching noise that signalled Tempest's transformation sounded behind Sonicboom.
He too charged, firing one armbased weaopn feebly, maybe just out of habit, mainly swinging his arms about one hand in a fist the other clawlike. Outflyer left the Ark in search of the unexpected disturbance. With the auto defenses functioning at maximum power due to Soundbyte's programming no enemy forces should have been able to approach. However, the Autobots managed to get through, therefore something else might have.
The molten pools around the Ark were now exposed to the battle worn surrounding and thus his initial search consisted of checking for smoldering remains. Too many surprises around here. First the natives interfere and now Autobots. Well if I find anymore, they'll have to recon with the mighty Outflyer. He amused himself allowed as he carefully navigated the treacherous pitfalls.
He neared what was once the burrowed entrance to the mountain and there he saw a few nanokliks away the bodies of Skyscythe and Shootdown.
Skyscythe seemed functional as he attempted to rise from the ground. Shootdown appeared otherwise. Outflyer ran over to his commander. A familiar shadow reached over and blanketed both Skyscythe and OUtflyer who both turned to view the source.
Take me to Soultron or I'll destroy you both. Sonicboom was surrounded. On either side destruction was eminent and these opponents were a few control cards short of a full mainframe. The Tempest creature could be dealt with easily, but the female Decepticon worried him. There was not much time to act. With that, Sonicboom launched a magnetic bomb towards Tempest and flew off into the sky.
Soultron remained in the corner of the control room, silent and unmoved as the work continued on Manticore. Time is of the essence. Shear's charge missed it's mark, slag, must be getting old. She pulled up and powdered Sonicboom's retreat with energy shurikens. Problem with scattershot, though devastating at close range, it was decreased to nil against a retreating target. It isnt a toy!
Eying the emblem on the nosecone of it, she deduced it was a parting gift from Sonicboom. Well, he's earned the name, carrying around munitions like that on him. Tempest was about to be renamed Falling-Chunks-Of-Stupid if he didnt quit drooling over his new toy.
Shear thought and acted quickly. Using the bottom of his cupped hand holding the bomb to cushion it from accidentally exploding, she kicked it up into the air and fired it to bits over their heads. Tempest looked up dreamily then back to her puzzled as a puppy as to what and why she did that. Aluminus would have to do some more work on that, Tempest did need a new face. Now, to fly after Sonicboom and let Tempest repay him for his generous gift of attempted sparkextinguishment?
Or radio Skyscythe for updates and new orders? Welll, there were two of them werent there? The badbot who tried to kibble you is getting away, and he's making fun of you.
Yeah, that's right! Tempest grinded and squeeked his flaking frame back into a semblance of a jetform and streaked away nearly blasting Shear with his overenthusiastic take-off. Was she ever.. Why couldnt she remember things?
She transformed, opened a channel to Skyscythe and flew back down to the ark. But me? I dunno. I'm talking to myself. That's not a good sign. No it isnt. Are ya sure? Oooh yeah. Aluminus' optics flickered then came fully online. Where was he? Battle, Decepticons, Shear, Tempest, Skyscythe, Soundbyte, Soultron and him, laying flat and helpless as a newbot, minus an Wait it appears to be reattached! He sat up quickly and saw Soundbyte. He opened his mouth to ask her if he missed anything when a faint tingling ringling melody played at the limits of his consciousness.
There's trouble brewing, but not with the Decepticons. Outflyer went over to Skyscythe, who winked at him and nodded towards his commlink. The Link was open to Shear and she could hear everything. Outflyer got what Skyscythe was on about and began to stall Darkwind. Lord Soultron was shot down, hes probably dead. Darkwind shot at the ground in front of the two bots. Skyscythe thought to himself. Shear i hope you can hear this. SHear could indeed hear everything, loud and clear. Skyscythe and some other 'Con not known to her were facing off against a rather banged up sounding Decepticon named Darkwind.
She sooo looked forward to meeting him. Tempest exhilerated in the wind rushing by and kind of thru his swisscheesed frame. He was going for Sonicboom and thoughts of his own demise possible were not even evident, after all, he no longer seemed to be a thinking creature. More a force of nature, a force catching up on Sonicboom. Aluminus shoved Soundbyte away so He could stand up. His congenial mood mode was quite disengaged.
He wanted Shear down with him and sedated. That slight psychic bond they shared notified him of a potential risk more liable and dangerous than Tempest could ever pose. He wanted those parts from within the Ark. Those lovely Autobot and Decepticon partsssss.. Shear came within sensor range and cut sound to the engines, slowing herself a tad, but decreasing the risk of ruining that delightful element of surprise. Drawing in closer, she spied the wound on the Enemy bot, oooh easy pickin's.
She swooped up a bit, cut engine power and dropped like a rock, transforming in freefall. She drew both sets of chopperblades, the liftblade and shorter turnblade and came down upon Darkwind like a lightning bolt, but feetfirst.
Primus, if she misses this maneuver she'll be one painful and embarassed pile of prizmatic parts. Here goes.. He grabbed Sonicboom's head and squeezed, looking him directly in the optics and snarling, his face an ugly mask of anger and dementia. It was time for this Decepticon to die. All of a sudden his arms clamped onto Sonicboom in a vicelike grip. An odd beeping noise came from within his frame. Tempest was sure he was'nt doing this. WHat was going on?
Then a memory surfaced, he saw Aluminus' face squared in his optics and Aluminus leered at him, making him feel like a mere object. At least two, one other and well, yourself. Dont take it too hard, you're serving a cause greater than yourself. But hey. Listen, if I find any pieces of you after this is all over with, I'll make you into something real neat-o, okay?

According to the Scholiast on Apollonios 1. The principal rivals of the Aleuadai were the Scopadai of Krannon. Larissa was the birthplace of Meno, who, along with Xenophon among others , led the ill-fated expedition of Greek mercenaries in BC to help Cyrus the Younger overthrow his elder brother Artaxerxes II and take the throne of Persia.
Meno is also the subject of a Platonic dialogue of the same name. Pompey sought refuge at Larissa after his defeat at Pharsalos in 48 BC. Beautiful old collection tone.
The taurokathapsia was a form of bull fighting that was popular at many games in the ancient Greek world, and particularly in Crete and Thessaly. Scenes of this event are depicted on coins from various cities of Thessaly, but the type is especially prevalent in the 5th century BC coinage at Larissa, which provides much of the current evidence about the taurokathapsia today. In the Thessalian version of the event, a man on horseback was to chase down and subdue a bull.
He first rode alongside the running bull, then grabbed the bull by the horns and jumped from his steed onto the back of the bull. Still holding the horns, the rider then dismounted the bull, and attempted to wrestle it to the ground. A detailed account of this type of taurokathapsia scene is described in Heliodoros, Aeth.
Interestingly, the early phase of the event is not depicted on the coins at Larissa, but can be seen on rare issues of Atrax BCD Thessaly II 53 , where the rider is pursuing the bull, and the Thessalian League BCD Thessaly II , where the rider is shown moving from his horse to the bull.

If Epaminondas had lived to reap the benefits of his Mantineian victory, he would have undoubtedly proceeded to unite all Greece under his leadership.
The next step would be to turn to the North and face Philip who, instead of finding a divided Greece ready for the taking, would think twice before attempting to invade Thessaly. Perhaps Philip would remember the years he spent as a hostage in Thebes and his respect for the Theban statesman would prevail.
The conquest of Asia would then materialize sooner and in a more permanent manner. But, like many great soldiers, Epaminondas inspired his men by leading them into battle and, instead of capitalizing on his genius, Thebes paid the price for his bravery. Early-mid 4th century BC.

The entirety of the reverse was enclosed within a large olive wreath. Unlike the previous two centuries, this coinage was produced on a large scale, as attested by its abundance in hoards.
As with the fifth century issues, this New Style Coinage became an important and respected coinage in international trade, being found today at sites throughout the Mediterranean area, and was also imitated at a number of cities.
Until then, the coins were produced in an unbroken annual sequence, but were now relegated to a few disconnected, sporadic issues that ultimately came to an end in the 40s BC.

Situated on the west side of the Cimmerian Bosporos, in what is now called the Crimea, it achieved great prosperity through its exploitation of the abundant fisheries of the straits and the export of wheat from the Crimea. This wealth is attested by its splendid gold coinage, which commenced in the mid-4th century BC, and by the magnificently furnished rock tombs of its principal citizens in the same period. The coinage of Pantikapaion seems to have commenced with silver issues in the latter part of the fifth century BC, but it is for its beautiful gold staters that the mint is chiefly noted.
They depict the head of the god Pan a pun on the name of the city and on the reverse, the griffin that Herodotos describes as being the guardian of the remote sources of gold. Mithradates VI Eupator.

There is speculation that the obverse of this coin actually depicts Amastris, a niece of Darios III of Persia, who became a pawn in the complex dynastic quarrels that followed the death of Alexander.
Amastris then married Dionysos, tyrant of Herakleia, by whom she had three children before his death in BC. We can take these seekers head on. Aluminus You cover for her while she does that. He transforms into jet mode and supercharges his front nose cone. He pummels throught 2 seekers Destroying them. The other seekers Gather around. Skyscythe begins to insult them so that will fight with anger and irrationally. I am above you seekers. Shootdown and Sonicboom hover in front of Skyscythe.
Skyscythe Raises his shields to their fullest and forms an invisible barrier in front of him. The flames approach and hit the barrier and stop there.
SKyscythe Holds his shields up as he prepares for the assault. The first missiles bombared his shields. They injure him in his leg. Skyscythe flies off towards the nearest seekers. He puts all his enrgy into his speed. He Flies behind two seekers as the Missiles bombared the seekers. A thought hit. I can use my EMP Shot. It will drain my gun, but it will have to do. But u will have to do better than that to defeat me. And what are you doing Sonicboom. Are you his Silent Advisor?
Eat This. Skyscythe raises his sword and turns it. He gets his EMP gun out and fires some shots in the direction of Rage and the others. He then rushes forward with the sword in his arm, to do a slash attack. Shootdown dodged the incoming emp pulse and dove towards his aggressor.
Snonicboom moved away from the other pulses as they hit the remaining seekers. Sonicboom flew up behind Skyscythe as he charged towards Shootdown. Skyscythe rushed forward as well blade raised in a striking and defensive mode. Skyscythe and Shootdown began to get closer and closer. If one of the did not stop soon they were going to ram into each other. It was a contest of strength, courage and willpower. Taking advantage of stunned prey ensures the survival of most predators, and Shear wasnt one to let opportunity knock and run.
After seeing Tempest ran and transform to savagely beat the backplates off the Seeker he scented earlier.
Slag, Sonicboom stopped in midair! Flying up she saw her ever so narrow window of attack closing as he regained his senses. Lowly slave to the fallen Shockwave! Surrender to the forces of Soultron or taste the inferno of my righteous fury!! Await my command to strike. Tempest nods and transforms to hover near Sonicboom, vaguely remembering him from somewhere. Tempest starts to smile for who knows what reason.
This slapdash scrapmech he'd reformatted was doing REAL good right about now. She didnt know who to shoot first. Hold him still for me! I'm gonna blow out his C. No, of course I wont hit you. I'm a very good aim, now do as I say! Aluminus busied himself on the ground front. A Seeker strafed his position! HE had to smile, this was going to be fun. Putting aside thoughts of Shear and her new, but possibly unstable counterpart, he ran out and transformed. It swooped again, lower this time.
This tiem around it wound up in a near collision with a large red and white Aerospace Jet! Aluminus wasnt feeling particularly creative at this point. It was enough work coming up with a giant hologram of a Seeker, Mega Class. Now he had to name it? To the pits with that. He emerged from hiding, firing every weapon on his frame. He had to keep this bot away from Sondbyte. Headmounted laser scored a shot, holing it's chest and his rifle fired the seeker's head to glowing bits.
Sensors were picking up more mechanized activity off in the distance! It corresponded to neither Decepticon nor Autobot energon signatures! Did the Natives of this dirtball possess robots and other mechanized weaponry of their own??
Skyscythe, uhm, at your earliest convenience, tell me what you can see from up there. I'm picking up numerous approach signals. Aluminus fell, stunned and missing an arm Soundbyte turned to look at Aluminus. The Weapons of the ark now fire more accurately at their designated targets, missing Soultron's team. Soundbyte goes over to Aluminus. She gets down and picks up the rest of his arm.
Shots begin to fire in their direction from the new sources of destruction and the seekers above. Soundbyte puts her palms in the air and creates a sound shield around her and aluminus. This won't take long to fix. You have to fight it. His metal structure reflected decay and age as he tumbled aimlessly in the darkness. I want it to end. And so must mine. His body arched as the electro-synthesis began to bring life throughout the blackened metal. Tiretrack stood a short distance away watching the battle in awe and terror as the alien forces engaged her friends.
Without Soultron this endeavor was hopeless. They would soon be defeated by the Decepticons and returned to the smelting pools on Cybertron. Our time is here. Tiretrack looked up at the strange figure that stood next to her.
She could only watch as Soultron glared up at the burning sky. As Shootdown spiraled towards Skyscythe, he ignited his flame cannons allowing his outer structure to be covered in an intense heat. Sonicboom shook his head in disbelief. They may finish the job for us.
Soultron and Outflyer flew overhead of the Ark's gravesite, quickly discovering the band of autobots making their way to the entrance of the Ark. The Autobots stopped dead in their tracks. All of these emotions filled them as they saw the figure of a Transformer they had hoped they'd never see again. It took a nanosecond for Aftershock to transform and Tekbat and Xcessor to pull their weapons, all of them targeting Soultron and Outflyer. Headrush could only stand there, helplessly, and stare at the broken and limp body of Fender.
She didn't seem as damaged as she had before, but her metal casing was still cracked and broken in places. Her optics were gray Aftershock's turret targeted Soultron and the Seeker, his missiles ready to fire. Tekbat was the first to dispute. Headrush, they've got Fender! He stopped to calm his voice - filled with pain and anger - and motioned his hand down.
Soultron could not help but smile upon the helpless Autobots. They outnumbered him and could easily overpower him with numbers alone, but because of an inherent flaw within all Transformers of their kind he had the advantage. They were weak and having such a deficiency meant Soultron had the advantage, no matter what. On the contrary, your precious Autobot is alive because of me. Your friend Fender, will recover after more repairs are made to her, but her life signs are stable.
Why do I come here to aid you? It is an unavoidable circumstance given the choices we have made. I stand against the Decepticon army and though I show no favoritism to the Autobot cause, I would be willing to extend a temporary cease in hostilities until our current situation is resolved.
In other words, I do not wish to fight two wars now and it would be in your benefit to comply. However there is a condition to this proposal dear friends. I ask that you aid me in defeating the remnants of Shockwave's forces and I will allow you to reclaim Fender and repair Manticore without interference. So what will it be Autobots? Accept my offer or fight the final battle of your existence here in this mountain. The choice is yours. Headrush nodded. While the young bot was rash and reckless at times, he knew when a situation called to make the most undesirable choice.
He might make a fine leader one day, he thought. Headrush shook these thoughts away, there was no time for reflection or consideration. There was a battle to be won, and he needed to secure the safety of his troops. And the Ark. He outstretched his arms to receive Nova. Before we change our minds. Skyscythe Flew towards the uncoming Skootdown. The flames began to subside.
Shootdown and Skyscythe grapple in midair, Shootdown chokes on Skyscythe, bty Sky breaks free and reverses the hold til both are on a fatal deathlock.
They each try to push each other using their jets at maximum speed. The harder I Push Against You The Harder You Push? Surrender Now before you hurt yourself. Skyscythe and SHootdown begin to spiral down in the opposite direction towards the ground, near the ark's entrance.
They reach about 2o feet off the ground. They both hit the ground real hard in front of the arks entrance, causing a shockwave. Headrush struggles against his own revulsion and hatred of Soultron, meanwhile keeping his own tops from reckless action against teh mysterious decepticon they had alll thought dead.
Shear's eyes flashed like twin suns. A powering up noise filled her ears as her frame rattled with potential violence. Sonicboom paused, unconsciously drawing away. He caught himself withdrawing and corrected this not wanting to seem weak in front of this female Decepticon. Shear stood still in air, then drew her chopperblades.
She growled like a hungry lioness then pounced him, blades spinning at their fastest. She then activated her turbine shuriken lanchers and streaked at him, optics full of promise of destruction and the assurance that she did indeed plan to end this.
After all, what fun is a dead target? A whirring crunching noise that signalled Tempest's transformation sounded behind Sonicboom.
He too charged, firing one armbased weaopn feebly, maybe just out of habit, mainly swinging his arms about one hand in a fist the other clawlike. Outflyer left the Ark in search of the unexpected disturbance. With the auto defenses functioning at maximum power due to Soundbyte's programming no enemy forces should have been able to approach. However, the Autobots managed to get through, therefore something else might have.
The molten pools around the Ark were now exposed to the battle worn surrounding and thus his initial search consisted of checking for smoldering remains. Too many surprises around here. First the natives interfere and now Autobots.
Well if I find anymore, they'll have to recon with the mighty Outflyer. He amused himself allowed as he carefully navigated the treacherous pitfalls. He neared what was once the burrowed entrance to the mountain and there he saw a few nanokliks away the bodies of Skyscythe and Shootdown.
Skyscythe seemed functional as he attempted to rise from the ground. Shootdown appeared otherwise. Outflyer ran over to his commander. A familiar shadow reached over and blanketed both Skyscythe and OUtflyer who both turned to view the source. Take me to Soultron or I'll destroy you both. Sonicboom was surrounded. On either side destruction was eminent and these opponents were a few control cards short of a full mainframe.
The Tempest creature could be dealt with easily, but the female Decepticon worried him. There was not much time to act. With that, Sonicboom launched a magnetic bomb towards Tempest and flew off into the sky. Soultron remained in the corner of the control room, silent and unmoved as the work continued on Manticore. Time is of the essence. Shear's charge missed it's mark, slag, must be getting old. She pulled up and powdered Sonicboom's retreat with energy shurikens.
Problem with scattershot, though devastating at close range, it was decreased to nil against a retreating target. It isnt a toy! Eying the emblem on the nosecone of it, she deduced it was a parting gift from Sonicboom.
Well, he's earned the name, carrying around munitions like that on him. Tempest was about to be renamed Falling-Chunks-Of-Stupid if he didnt quit drooling over his new toy. Shear thought and acted quickly. Using the bottom of his cupped hand holding the bomb to cushion it from accidentally exploding, she kicked it up into the air and fired it to bits over their heads.
Tempest looked up dreamily then back to her puzzled as a puppy as to what and why she did that. Aluminus would have to do some more work on that, Tempest did need a new face.
Now, to fly after Sonicboom and let Tempest repay him for his generous gift of attempted sparkextinguishment? Or radio Skyscythe for updates and new orders? Welll, there were two of them werent there? The badbot who tried to kibble you is getting away, and he's making fun of you. Yeah, that's right! Tempest grinded and squeeked his flaking frame back into a semblance of a jetform and streaked away nearly blasting Shear with his overenthusiastic take-off.
Was she ever.. Why couldnt she remember things? She transformed, opened a channel to Skyscythe and flew back down to the ark. But me? I dunno. I'm talking to myself. That's not a good sign. No it isnt. Are ya sure? Oooh yeah.
Aluminus' optics flickered then came fully online. Where was he? Battle, Decepticons, Shear, Tempest, Skyscythe, Soundbyte, Soultron and him, laying flat and helpless as a newbot, minus an Wait it appears to be reattached!
He sat up quickly and saw Soundbyte. He opened his mouth to ask her if he missed anything when a faint tingling ringling melody played at the limits of his consciousness.
There's trouble brewing, but not with the Decepticons.
