Time: Pre Earth
Murphy's Laws of Combat-Everything will go wrong all at once
::Barricade to Megatron. The Autobots have broken through the main line::
::Starscream to Thundercracker. What's your position?::
::Skywarp to Starscream. He's a little busy dodging Ironhide's cannon fire::
::Starscream to Skywarp. Slag! Starscream to Thundercracker. Get your aft over here now!::
::Soundwave to Megatron. We may have a-::
::Blaster to any Decipticreeps listening. Your communications have just been hacked::
Radio silence. Megatron waited impatiently while Soundwave worked to undo the hack. Sixty seconds of dead quiet.
Then...
::Rollerforce to Megatron. Barricade and Motorhead are down. Requesting backup::
::Skywarp to Megatron. TC and Starscream injured. Dirge missing::
::Blackout to Megatron and Soundwave. Frenzy and Rumble captured. Scorponok in stasis::
::Sideways to Hook. Requesting medical assistance at Sector A17. TC, Starscream, and Ground Hog injured::
It was enough to make Megatron wish he had radio silence again.

Murphy's Laws of Combat-Try to look unimportant; the enemy may be low on ammo and not want to waste a bullet on you
"Is it clear yet?"
"I don't know. Go check"
"I'm not going to check," Thundercracker protested quickly. "You go check."
"I'm not going to check," Skywarp snapped. They both turned to look at Misfire and Starscream. Misfire quickly shook his head but Starscream hadn't been paying attention to the conversation.
"You check," Misfire, Skywarp, and TC said.
"Slag no," Starscream protested, realizing what they were talking about.
"Oh yes," TC said as the three of them shoved him foreword. Starscream sigh and leaned his head over the top of the rock. There was a tinking noise as a bullet bounced off the top of the Decepticon SIC's head.
"I hate you all," Starscream growled. "Someone else can go tell Soundwave that the communications are jammed." They all turned to look at Misfire who hadn't been paying attention.
"Why are you all looking at me?" he asked, optics wide and nervous. Moments later he was pushed out of the hideout and into the open. The other three waited for the blasts but they never came.
"Maybe they're gone."
"Go check," Skywarp snapped. TC stuck his head up and then ducked as a hail of bullets came his way.
"Nope. They're just not shooting at Misfire."
"Frag."
Characters: Wheeljack, Perceptor, Ratchet
Time: Pre Earth
Murphy's Laws of Combat-Five second fuses always burn in three seconds
"How long of a fuse was that supposed to be?" Perceptor asked as he pulled himself off of the floor.
"Five seconds," Wheeljack said as he too pulled himself off the floor.
Ratchet blinked as he entered the room in time to see Perceptor wack Wheeljack on the back of the head. "That was three seconds glitch head!"
Characters: Epps, Briley, Ironhide
Time: Post T1
Murphy's Laws of Combat-Interchangable parts aren't
"Do we have another part for this?" Epps asked.
"Nope," Briley Andrews replied.
"Didn't they send you interchangable parts?" Ironhide growled, frusterated.
"Don't even mention the interchangable parts," Briley growled.
"They aren't," Epps added.
"Aren't what?" Ironhide asked, sounding exasperated.
"Interchangable," Briley said and then the two went back to work.
Thanks to Pondera2.0, my anonymous reviewer, BuckeyeBelle, Riptide2, hummergrey (Thanks for letting me know that I'm getting the Decepticon characterization correct), and Exactlywhat for reviewing! I don't own Transformers but I hope you enjoyed it anyway!
