Starscream was the first to fire on the humans, melting the cement under their feel.
"Leave this installation, or we shall terminate you all." The red and silver jet yelled. He then looked at his wing mates. "Start the collection process."
Thundercracker and Skywarp pull the converting devices from subspace and connected them to the out going power lines. Slowly two by two the energon cubes began to fill, not having a third converter Starscream paced out side, watching and waiting. He knew they were too close to the Autobot base, and it would take no time at all for the goody goodies to show up.
Buzzsaw recorded and sent the data live to the base; he followed the Air Commander and watched from his perch on the roof of the building. Being made for surveillance and listening Buzzsaw found the on coming Autobots first. He hoped over the building and took to fight away from Starscream's gaze. He flew to an altitude that made his recoding device zoom to its fullest and circled there.
Megatron had gone to his throne as nothing of interest to him was happing. As Buzzsaw sent back the first pictures of the approaching Autobots he got up and came back to the communications console and stood next to Soundwave.
"Ah its about time those Autobot fools showed up." The leader said to no one in particular.
"Sensors indicate ten Autobots approaching." Soundwave informed.
Megatron's optics brightened as he watched with interest. The orders were to go and collect the energon and leave before an altercation took place. Megatron knew that Skywarp and Thundercracker would have no problem following that. Starscream on the other hand would try to get away with as much as possible, which would me most likely the destruction of most of the energon in the process.
Finally Starscream's long-range sensors started to detect the forthcoming Autobots. He gauged the distance and speed, there was still time before he would have to call a retreat. He walked in side and counted the energon cubes, and a light seemed to appear about his head. "This is just enough energon for me to take over." He thought to himself. He then looked at his wing mates. "Thundercracker is easy enough to manipulate, but Skywarp can be loyal." He scowled at the purple and black jet. Then another thought passed through is processor. "Skywarp things Megatron as flipped his processor. I can make sure he keeps thinking that." Starscream then neared the Energon converters and unplugged them.
"The Autobots are approaching it is time to pull out." The Air Commander said as he started to pick up cubes.
"I knew they would get her quick, Megatron must have fried a circuit to send us here. This energon won't last a week." Skywarp pouted as he too began to pick up cubes.
Thundercracker had been picking cubes up when Starscream had started. "Sometimes I think he burnt that circuit vorns ago." He said under his breath.
