Payne wasn't looking forward to this; really he had relations to some of the most dangerous Decepticons around. He didn't want to face them like this, though the thought of catching Rumble or Frenzy alone made the thought better. His revenge would be sweet. That was until he was picked up. Syphonic held the little Ex-'con in her hand and gave him a look over.

"You've changed." She stated.

"I wanted to cut all my ties. I didn't want to look like them." he scoffed.

"Is that what you really want? Help these foul creatures risk their lives for species that aren't worth the effort?" She looked at him with disgust

"I would take them over your soiled nephews any day." He kicked open her hand and fell to the ground.

"Fine so be it."

Payne struck first showing of his new alt mode. (01:55 Payne transforms into a Construction Vehicle and rams Syphonic. Syphonic is injured (65 power remaining).) His small stature only stemmed to irritate Syphonic as she took her turn. (02:08 Syphonic transforms into a Weapon and strafes Payne. Syphonic strafes Payne. Payne is damaged (33 power remaining). Payne is severely injured (20 power remaining). ) Her Decepticon spark wanted to hate the little bot, but knew there was an attachment how little it was. She hit the little bot again (03:06 Syphonic transforms into a Weapon and strafes Payne. Payne has gone into stasis lock!) Then picked up and carried the small Autobot with her. She knew Soundwave would want to know what he had done.

Else where in the thick of the swamp

Squal ducked and weaved through the bush as he followed his sensors. The little blip that he was looking for was Decepticon in nature, but seemed smaller than he was used to. He decided it was one of Soundwave's Casetticons, which one he couldn't be sure until he had a visual confirmation. He scanned the treetops, then the swamp floor. Finally here heard the tale tail sound of small engines, it came from behind; the notorious Laserbeak knocked him down to the ground. (02:06Laserbeak punches Squal. Squal is injured (51 power remaining).) Not wanting to let the Autobot up to hurt his small frame Laserbeak took action again. (02:34 Laserbeak hits Squal with a Battle Blades. Squal has gone into stasis lock!) Laserbeak flew off to find another target.

3-1 Cassettes.
