Straight Edge felt the heat from the energon as the sparks peppered his chasis. He swatted the wrecked weapon away as it was thrown at him and he took a fighting stance.
The Autobot was more confident now that they were fighting in his element, but he was still wary of Thunderwing's physical power.
"Good reach, devastating striking power." He thought with a wince. He paced evenly in a wide circle, waiting for his opponent to make a move.

This is enough, this Autobot is nothing compared to me! Time to end this mockery! Was all Thundering could think about as he reached his battle axe and brought it up. He saw that Straight Edge was up and on the defensive. Thunderwing's began to walk in slowly as he did when approaching the battle when it began, but now his smile was gone. Replaced by a expression of brooding, close to anger.
As he inched in closer, he wrapped his second hand around the handle of his weapon and said. "You do realize that I have held your Autobot Matrix and used it at will? What hope doesn't an simpleton such as yourself have against that?" As soon as his question was asked, Thunderwing leapt at Straight Edge. His battle axe was raised high so that the Decepticon warloard would bring it down between Straight Edge's neck and left shoulder.

Not one to repeat a failed tactic, Straight Edge side stepped the blow and sent a passing cut at Thunderwing's shoulder.
"Ever wonder why you don't have it now?" He mocked before taking a crown guard, seeing that Thunderwing favored high attacks.
In a more calm time, Straight Edge would either entertaina a debate with Thunderwing over the concept of divine selection or else get furiously angry that such a holy item had been violated by this violent warmonger; but as it stood, Straight Edge was in a fight.
All else was pushed out of his thought process.

OOC: They good Straight Edge, your getting the hang of this! Now let's try the honour system of rpg combat. Its were a opponent actually posts a hit on the opponent he is fighting but it is non-lethal and inflicts very little damage. These come in the form of physical impacts, be it a punch, a kick or the blunt end of a sword's handle or the but end of a rifle.

OOC: The honour system my favourite!
The pain that shot through Thunderwing's shoulder made him growl with anger. The Decepticon then turned around and swung his axe at the side of Straight Edge's head. As the Autobot ducked Thunderwing reached in as fast as he could, grabbed Straight Edge's neck to hold him just long enough so that Thunderwing could bring his knee into the Autobot's lower torso. Thunderwing then went to raise his axe to bring it down on the Autobot. "Time to die Autoscum!"

Thunderwing nailed me in the side and I'm already leaking energon!

Thunderwing then went to raise his axe to bring it down on the Autobot. "Time to die Autoscum!"Straight Edge fell to the road. His optics were beginning to fuzz, the loss of energon getting to him. He could practically feel the blade of Thunderwing's axe looming over, about to silence him like the scythe of the Fallen. "I . . . said . . . . NOT TODAY!" He did a sweeping kick to knock the Decepticon off his feet. Straight Edge then launched a body slam, mid transformation on top off Thunderwing. He dug his wheels in and revved with all the power he could muster, trying to inflict the most pain he could upon the brute.

OOC: I would say yes since the blow was done with a weapon with a blade. Honour system blows are blows that one can shake off and not need medical attention for. However, if two players had an understanding that allowed for each of them to post non-lethal moves on each then a move such as the blade cutting in to Thunderwing's shoulder would be legal. And remember, it was you that allowed Thunderwing's attack to damage Straight Edge's side. Players decided their character's damage. And Thunderwing understands that since you allowed some damage to befall on Straight Edge, he had to allow some sort of pain, damage or even humiliation to befall his. With in reason of course in regards to the characters. Cause when you think about it, even opponents will inflict about the same about of damage but if one had a superior advantage over the other, the players might decide that a very one sided battle would occur with perhaps the one on the losing end then makes a sudden come back and wins the battle.

I figured as much. It just seemed to make sense that my block wouldnt completely negate the blow. It's an axe, which all the force it candeliver is in the head, being wielded by a foe almost twice my size.
I've done loose RP combat before, but not so formalized as this. I apologize for any transgressions.
The narrative of the fight just seemed to be shaping up to.
"Opponent A underestimates opponent B, allowing a brief comeback but both inflicting about the same amount of damage."

OOC: Were more for character development and growth. As much as I want to kill you Autobot, we here at TTF are more for the dramatic story telling of an epic battle rather then trying to kill each other!
Thunderwing became furious with the Autobot. He lost his axe again as Straight Edge came down on him and revved his engines to drive his wheel in to him. Thunderwing struggled and fougth, but the madder he got the more he was helpless. Finally Thunderwing transformed himself as well. In his jet mode he was able to blast off in to the sky. "You dare make a fool of me! Now you perish!"
Thunderwing made a wide arc and zeroed in on Straight Edge and fired all his rockets at him. They were homing rockets and could have hunted down the Autobot easily, but he was so close to the ground the rockets never had a chance to properly lock on the Autobot. The first two exploded around the area where Straight Edge was while the other two looked for their target.

"Opponent A underestimates opponent B, allowing a brief comeback but both inflicting about the same amount of damage." To be honest, I wouldn't have minded that an axe did block the sword. In the world of Transformers we have sub-atomic resizing and minibots that are stronger then those who are 5x their size. We can always put it down that the material of the sword is as strong and heavy as the axe. Also, you don't have to be weakened so quikcly by your wound as well. Again in the world of the Transformers, wounds don't affect these super robots as much as they might another species. Especially since Cybertronian warriors have self-repair systems that would prevent the leaking of fuel to the best of their ability. Basically its simply all about taking some hits and some damage. But like I said, you and a fellow player can orchestrate the fight if you so desire. I've done that with private messages between myself and another player and usually post something in the ooc thread so the GM knows that both players have agreed to this course of action.

OOC: Again, I'm sorry. New here. *whatever emoticon means nervous smile*
Straight Edge tumbled as Thunderwing took off, recovering on to his wheels he spun about and tried to rush for cover.
BOOM!
An explosion roared to his left. He tried to swerve but the second missile exploded right behind him.
The Elite Guardsmen was sent tumbling through the air, he came down near his original post with a terrific crash.
He forced himself to transform but it was slowed due to his injuries.
Again he forced himself to his feet, the world going dark, and forcing him to rely on his backup sensors, which weren't in much better shape.

((OOC: Well Cybertronian resilience is exactly why I thought a passing cut would fall under the honor system as such an injury would have hardly been life threatening to Thunderwing. The reason I'm taking so much punishment is A) it's still early in the war and I've yet to gather as much fighting experience then by the time my Elite Guard status was more than a result of good behavior and high marks under Zeta Prime's beauracracy. And B) if Thunderwing was able to wield the Matrix, he's Prime material. It's already an uphill battle going in. I'm not trying to be snappy if that's what it's coming off as. I sincerely am trying to observe the rules in a manner that makes some sense with the given universe and characters. ))

Thunderwing saw that his strike was successful and went in to finish off the Autobot. He transformed as he got close enough to the ground and landed. His shoulder throbbed with pain but Thunderwing shook it off. He then began to walk towards the Straight Edge. "You should of ran when you had the chance Autobot!"
Thunderwing then activated his C.L.U.T.C.H. drone. The little droid transformed from his back and went for Straight Edge with his one gun firing at him. Thunderwing then began to make for his battle axe, hoping that the drone would distract the Autobot.

Usually the honour system allows for punches and kicks just so we don't have to worry about any other kinds of punishment and what their damage should be. And the rules are more like guide lines. I only enforce the rules on those who are clearly selfish power gamers and cheating. And no worries, I don't think your being snappy at all.
