Barricade snarled as the tarmac burst and splintered under his blasters charged shot. The dust and the smell of boiling road paint caught in his intakes and olfactory sensors making him give a forceful Cybertronian equivalent of a cough, the dust swirling away from his intakes and forcing the rest around him to clear.

He stared down at the empty tarmac; the jet had teleported just as his rifle had gone off. He crouched, brushing his talons against the ground, smirking when the clawed tips turned something over. He rose to his full height, Frenzy popping out of his chest to grab at the metal shard.

"It is from that idiotic jet" he rumbled as Frenzy examined it and clicked as he scanned the metal. "Find weaknesses"

Frenzy gave a grumbled affirmative as Barricade began to walk, searching for his lost prey. He gave a soft growl, losing prey was never fun. Most of the humans in the next street ignored him, but took notice of the other humans that were scattering like frightened mice and most watched him wearily as he stepped between speeding cars. One old man commenting moodily into his strong coffee "He's going to cause a big traffic jam at rush hour, damn alien robot"

Barricade heard his partner snicker as he tuned in to the conversations going on around them. He wasn't interested in fleshling talk, he needed to find energon. His solar converters on his shoulders could only do so much for him and feeding the glutinous Frenzy wasn't exactly easy either, the spy feeding off of Barricade's own energon lines that ran along the back of Frenzy's compartment in his chest.

He flexed his talons in frustration as he came back to the same spot he had just left, The hacker on his shoulder wasn't helping either as he cackled "'Cade is lost!" over and over.

The Shock Trooper flicked his doorwings in annoyance. Straightening when his scanners picked up something in the distance, the signal was Cybertronian. There were around twelve in total led by a large truck. Wearily he took a step backwards only to hear the incoming shriek of a jet. He span on his pedes taking a cockpit to the chest as a red and white jet barrelled into him, shrieking in a high pitched frequency that resembled the whiny tones of a jet he already knew.

Frenzy was flung from his shoulder with a shriek of surprise, soaring over an alley wall as Barricade crashed into the shop front right beside it.

The little hacker tumbled and rolled into the other street, cursing up a storm. He got up brushing no-existent dirt from his spindly legs and second set of arms. He paused when he heard the transformation sequence of a bot and nervously checked behind him. A red truck transformed into a large mech, red, blue and white with a silver face plate across his face.

The hacker frowned raking his processor for the bot that this one resembled. As the bot went to speak he held up one of his arms, the finger extended in a 'quiet!' gesture as the other arms crossed over his chest.

He hummed tapping his foot, searching through the Autobot's faces in his data-banks. The other bots behind the red truck were looking down at him oddly as he hissed in frustration, why couldn't he place this bot's face?

Suddenly the little spy straightened fearfully, and began to back up, it was Optimus Prime... Slag! The two top optics swivelling back to the alleyway. "'Cade!" he finally shrieked in Cybertronian making a dash for the alley where he heard Barricade beginning to move.

-Barricade-

Barricade roared in anger as he launched himself out of the rumble at the smug looking jet that stood before him. He bared his sharp denta in a primal gesture of outrage. He subspaced his gun, loosening off shots of bright orange energy that dented buildings and took chunks out of the asphalt as they flew over the jets head.

"'Cade!" he heard Frenzy cry for him, panic flying through the partner bond making him turn to go after his wayward companion. The something tackled him from behind with a metal crash, sending both tumbling through the alleyway and into the opposite street, rubble and bits of shop merchandise flooding after them onto the road. He spread his doorwings as he landed in his back, curling his talons into a fist and delivering a powerful blow to the side of his assailants head.

The blue mech atop him rolled off with the force of the blow clutching his now dented face mask. Barricade rose from the road his armour flaring and rattling like scales, an animalistic gesture which signified no mercy, Autobots usually pulled off this move as well when really angered, he had seen Optimus Prime rattle his armour at Megatron once on the battle field when the silver behemoth had said something insulting about a recently deactivated friend.

His armour rippled and rattled as he hissed, red optics flaring with his usual predatory glee. He stalked forward like a cat, the metal that supported him on his pedes flaring out a little wider to spread his weight so that he wouldn't topple easily. He perked his doorwings high, flaring the tiny appendages out in an insultive manner.

Frenzy was at his heel in a second, gripping onto him like a limpet. He took his eyes off of his attacker to rumble down at the hacker "What has you so fragging spooked?"

The small spindly partner shuddered and pointed behind him, the Interceptor using his two left upper and lower optic to look behind him as the right two were focused on the blue Decepticon. Barricade gave a huff of his intakes at the Autobot leader and some of his mechs staring at him. "Take a picture" he snapped in the disgusting human tongue, his voice grating over the syllables as Frenzy wearily scrambled over to the sidelines, ready to dance into the frey with his throwing disks and blades "It'll last longer"

"You speak English?" asked the deep voice of the Prime, he sounded surprised

Barricade tiled his head and gave the Autobot leader a flat look "Stay out of my way and I'll get back to you"

With that he charged at the blue tape-deck, his arm shifting and elongating into his trusty flail, spikes whirring around it as stopped and swung. The Purple brand of the Decepticon was shorn off by the spikes of the flail as it ripped across the bot's abdomen, spilling the pink energon. A dronish gasp struggled out of the vocaliser as the bot went down.

"Is that it?" he sneered in Cybertonian, kicking his sharp pede into the mech's side sending to sprawling

"Frenzy eject" the monotone bot said pressing a button on his shoulder. A cassette popped out unfolding into a small mech

"Hey! Soundwave! You alright?" Asked the cassette turning to the injured bot. Frenzy had barely had time to get a response from his partner before something silver with four optics launched itself at him with a loud screech of outrage; a demonic black and white mech chuckling cruelly above them.
