Characters: Donnely, Fig, Lennox, Epps

Time: After SOCCENT is attacked by Blackout


Murphy's Laws of Combat-No matter which way you have to march it's always uphill

"Man does this hill ever end?" Donnely complained as they trekked across the sand. Fig muttered something in Spanish and Will didn't have the energy to reprimand him.

"Man we just escaped a massacre by some giant robot and you're complaining about marching uphill?" Epps asked incredulously.

"But we're always marching up hill," Donnely retorted. "I bet you even have to march up hill to get to heaven." Fig continued muttering in Spanish and Donnely turned to him saying, "English dude, English."

"Of course we're always marching uphill," Will said finally, cutting into the conversation. "Murphy's Law remember? No can you all shut up in march?"

They made it fifteen minutes before Fig asked, "So how much farther up hill do we have to go?"


Characters: Sideswipe, Epps, Lennox

Time: Pre Rise of the Fallen


Murphy's Laws of Combat-Odd objects attract fire. You are odd

"I know they have a lot of firepower but why is it all aimed at me?" Sideswipe whined as yet another bullet dinged his armor. Robert Epps and Will Lennox both held in laughter at the whining warrior.

"Murphy's Laws man," Epps said as he waited for the signal that would allow Sideswipe and Arcee to jump into action.

"What does that have to do with anything? Nothing's gone wrong yet," Sideswipe protested.

"No, no, no," Epps chided. "One of Murphy's Laws of Combat."

"Odd objects attract fire," Lennox explained. "You are odd," he added under his breath.

"You say something?" Sideswipe asked threateningly as a few more bullets pinged off him.

"No signal yet," Will said calmly, struggling to hold in his laughter. Sideswipe just went back to pouting.


Characters: Galloway, Epps, Lennox, Optimus Prime

Time: Post Rise of the Fallen


Murphy's Laws of Combat-The more stupid the leader is the more important missions he is asked to carry out

"Remind me again why Galloway is the liaison and Sam isn't yet," Epps said under his breath as they both watched the military man argue with Optimus Prime.

"Because Sam isn't an adult yet," Will said. "And because Murphy's Laws love us."

"Wait," Epps said, ignoring the fact that Galloway had stalked off and Optimus was walking over to them. "Which one covers this?"

"The more stupid the leader is the more important missions he is asked to carry out," Will said. They both jumped when Optimus started laughing.


Characters: Epps, Lennox, Briley Andrews, Ironhide, Fig, Sam, Bumblebee

Time: Pre Rise of the Fallen


Murphy's Laws of Combat-Uncrating and assembly instructions are always in the crate

"So how exactly do we get this open?" Epps asked looking at the rather large crate in question. Will just shrugged.

"Follow the instructions," Lieutenant Briley Andrews suggested, sounding exasperated.

"And where exactly do you think the instructions are?" Fig asked. Briley heaved a sigh and they all went back to staring at the crate.

"I could blast it open for you," Ironhide suggested, cannons humming.

"No!" they all shouted at the same time, jumping back a few feet. Ironhide sighed and put the cannons away, stomping off. Every single one of the humans around sighed with relief.

"So what's going on here?" Sam Witwickey asked a few moments later, Bumblebee coming up behind him.

"We have the new grenades but we can't get the crate open," Will said.

"And naturally the instructions on how to open the crate are inside the stupid thing," Briley finished.

"Oh..."


Thanks to Riptide2, SiriusBlackFan2, and someone for reviewing. On a quick note Briley Andrews is and OC in a AU Transformers universe the story to which I haven't yet posted. I don't own Transformers bu enjoy anyway
