“By all-sparks spark do I want to do so” Air-Fang said as buckshot left, looking down at the door it was been a while since, he had hacked a door and he had not enough rounds to pulverize the door, so “improvise” he said as he slung comrade over his shoulder and pulled out his combat knife, finding the control console to the door was easy enough, with a careful use of his knife skills he cut the console out of the wall to see the wires in the back, slowly cutting wire after wire until the door opened, looking for the wire that held the release switch for door and cutting it.
It was a bit awkward for him as all the combat was happening behind him, and his back was turned, and both of his arms was occupied, the control console in his left hand with a bundle of wires sticking out and into the door wall, and his right hand hold a combat knife and using it a like a pair of wire cutters.
“hmm here is a bad idea, leave the guy trying to get you out unguarded and easy to attack” Air-Fang sarcastically said “not like I don’t know he is trying to make an escape route” he kept cutting wires “one of these is going to set the alarm and that’s going to be like a dinner bell but don’t got time to be stealthy about it right now”

As he got closer, Knockout saw that Air Fang had opened the door. The former Decepticons didn't hesitate and made for the way out of this crazy battle, he didn't care if Hoist took him seriously or anyone else. As far was he as considered, in his mind he did all he could to contribute to escaping.
Walking up behind Air Fang, "Good job, now excuse me!" Knockout pushed Air Fang out of his way of the doorway and continued onwards.

"Wow, now I get it!" Indelible replied calmly, "Now I see why certain Autobots defected. Are these the type of troops you have now Prime! Maybe I am with the right gys after all." Noticing Airfang, Knockout and Hoist by the now open ddor, the bot went to move.
"I'm leaving now, and you can blow a hole in me if you wish but we're 'Done here.'"
Hoist Meanwhile was about to study the door when it was opened. "Oh no you don't Knockout I'm keeping you in my sights!" muttered the bot going after the former Decepticon, or whatever he was know. "Air Fang, watch our backs!", he motioned with his own weapon.

Knockout inspected one of the walls of the corridor and saw several lines of various colours running left and right. Each coloured line had an area listed with them, indicating where they lead to. "Lets see, hanger, hanger, hanger, there it is! The hanger is this way. Come on, Hoist."
Knockout transformed before Hoist could catch him and drove off in the direction of the hanger. "Now I get to play hard to get!"
Indelible tried to move but the Autobot with the gun and a few others wouldn't let him. "Going somewhere? I don't think."
"He's with me!" Said Latyrx7 as he pushed his way through the Autobots. Latyrx7 grabbed Indelible and activated his rocket pack. The two flew over the heads of the Autobots, who tried to shoot them down as they escaped and headed towards the door. "Not a bad bit of rescue if I do say so mysefl!"

Buckshot's entrance distracted the Autobots holding him enough for Roadtrain to break free of them just before Buckshot landed on him. Rising to his feet, Roadtrain joined in the punching and kicking, not wanting to use his weapons on Autobots. As they fought, he saw some of the other Renegades making their escape.
"We should move!" Roadtrain shouted to Buckshot.
As Shogrrrl's knee came towards his face, Bomblast thought quickly and used his head. Literally. Headbutting her knee was enough to knock her off balance, at the cost of making his optics blur and his audio receptors ring. Bomblast shook it off and got to his feet, readying his warhammer. He laughed and tapped his head.
"Nothing in here worth damaging!" He cackled.

“not like I have anything better to do” Air fang called out to Hoist, as he rotted his mass to face the battle and his back against the doorway, instead of pulling out comrade he pulled out his nucleon charge rifle “leg breaker” the half damaged spider themed charm, hanging off the side rifles body, as the familiar scope popped up and he looked down the cross hairs again, Air-fang lined up targets and started shooting at the legs of hostile bots be it prisoner, renegade or even autobot. Carefully avoiding the scuffle with the red and blue autoboot named “Prime” along with avoiding his allies,
“should buy some time shotting this way and slow them down” he thought to himself, as he fired into targets.

"AAAARGH!!! My leg, you broke my leg!!" Screamed Showgrrrl as her leg fell apart at the knee. She then fell on her face, "I'll kill you for that!!""Umm, yeah. I hear ya, Roadtrain, Let's get out of here, Oize Boize!!" Roadtrain and Buckshot took off for the open door where Air Fang was laying down cover fire. They passed Bomblast on the way. "Hey, tank dude! Stop flirting, it's time to go!"Latyrx7 and Indelible landed at the door. "Indelible and Air Fang, get going. I'll take it from here." Said Latyrx7 as he began to lay down cover fire, taking down anyone who fired on him. Soon Roadtrain, Buckshot and Bomblast were through the door following Indelible and Air Fang, who could see Hoist and Knockout just up ahead. Latyrx7 stepped through the doorway and activated the blast doors and lock it with the fully operational control panel on the other side. As the doors closed shut, Latyrx7 stood there, proud of himself. "I love it when a plan comes together."That's when sparks flew out from the middle of the door as laser cutters began to bore their way through. "I hate uninvited company." Said Latyrx7 as he transformed to catch up to the others. As Knockout found the hanger, he stopped and looked on in disappointment. "Oh great. Only one spaceship in the entire hanger and it's a piece of junk."Hoist, Indelible, Air Fang, Road Train, Bomblast and Latyrx7 finally reached the hanger and saw their own means of escape. "I like it." Said Latyrx7 as laser blasts began to fly over head. "Everyone on board. And does anyone know how to fly that thing?"

Bomblast lowered his warhammer as Shogrrrl dropped to the floor missing her leg.
"Well that was...anti-climactic. I mean, now I just kinda feel bad, you know?"
It was at this point that Roadtrain and Buckshot ran past.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming. This is...this is just too embarrassing to continue."
Bomblast deployed his Bomb-Blasters and started to run after the rest of the Renegades, firing off a shot or two to provide covering fire. As the ran, Roadtrain stopped and fired off a couple of warning shots to give them some space. Eventually they made it into the hangar and saw their means of escape.
Roadtrain let out an impressed whistle.
"Piece of junk? No, she's beautiful. A relic, nearly as old as I am, but beautiful nonetheless." He said. "I can fly her."
"Ooo, shiny." Bomblast piped up, getting distracted by a highly polished panel on the ship.

"As long as she can make anything past light speed than we're good" replied Hoist in the general vacinity of Knockout and Roadtrain. "She'll hold together. Baby hold together..."
Having had his neck saved by the blood thirsty Autobots, Indelible was starting to become more convinced he was making the right choices in sticking with these mechs. As far Rodtrain flying her, Indelible just hoped they the botas good as they said they were or this would all end very quickly. With cutters sparking through the door to get in however, there wasnot ime to debate such a weighty topic.
"C'mon let's book" Indelible replied calmly, but underneath he was still deeply dissapointed in Prime. Although he barely knew the bot, he was Optimus prime, THE Optimus Prime and unless you'd been living under the sonic canyons all your life; you knew what that name meant and the weight it carried. yet, he did nothing to stop his blood hungry troops.

“You guys get her started, going to slow down our guests” Air-Fang walked back to the hallway entrance between the hallway and the hanger, with our a second though he took out a couple of heat seeking mines, on his belt and tossed them into the hallway while activating them, as soon as he did Air-Fang shut the door to the hanger behind him.
Although this prevented everyone from going back to where they came from, should they need to, it also temporarily prevented anyone form getting in. however the heat seeking mines were not that powerful and they only worked once which Ment a portion of hostile bots would be stopped when they when off which in the cold, calculating, sadistic mind was not good enough.
“Big Guy,” Air Fang stopped himself and remembered the name “ Bomblast, help me look around for stuff to use on the door the prevent them form getting in but also stacks up with the explosives on the other side of the door when the mines go off I want a big boom enough for that hallway to go down and make them find some other way to get though” he paused “Just don’t get to close to the door I don’t know if my mines can detect you though the walls, never used them to work with a team before” he admitted,
“Note for everybody else, this explosion may collapse the hanger so when need to get out before it they set it off, or at least close enough to get out, so skip the bells and whistles we don’t got time for a proper launch” he advised

"Fine, have it your way I suppose." Knockout activated the ship's rear cargo doors, opening a way in and extending the boarding ramp. "No accounting for taste." Roadtrain made it up the ramp first and into the ship.
In the cargo whole were containers upon containers. Many of them weren't strapped down properly and most were sealed closed. What was inside was anyone's guess.
Latyrx7 overhead Air Fang about sending off the mines. "You did what? You fired off heat seeking mines? Those are properly Autobots after us! Are you trying to get the entire Autobot army after us?"
From the other side of the hanger doors, the Renegades could hear explosions going off. "Now you've done it. If we've killed just one Autobots, they'll never stop hunting us down. And they won't capture us, they'll kill us on site." Latyrx7 seriously thought about wounding Air Fang in the leg and leaving him behind, giving the Autobots the one reason for the death's of who ever his heat-seeking mines may have killed. But thought better of it. After all, Latyrx7 didn't know most of these Renegades who were inmates just a astro-cycle before. "Forget the extra explosions, Bomblast get on board. You too, Air Fang. Everyone move!"
Knockout hadn't wasted anytime and was on board the ship. He made his way in quickly to avoid getting in anyone's way and didn't want to get trampled on. As he took to the lower decks, he saw a section that looked like a medical room. "Hello, what have we here?" Sure enough, Knockout had found the medical room. Full of tools, medical equipment, portable rechargers, spare parts, a 3D printer for making new parts, tubes, wires, connectors, circuit boards and even an operating table completel with a full body scanner. "Oh my. I may have to take back my original comment. I think I'm in love!"
Buckshot waited on the ramp for everyone to come aboard. Hoist passed him followed by Indelible, Air Fang and Latyrx7. Bomblast was stopped by Buckshot who motioned to the bay doors. "We got to blow the bay doors control or we're locked in. You got the fire power, use it!" On control panel were visible on the left side of the ramp, just under the nameless ship, several meters in front of the ship. From that position it was a tricky shot. Bomblast could move away from the ship for a better angle but banging was heard on the other side of the hanger doors. The mines hadn't stopped everyone.
Buckshot ran up the ramp then threw down his grapple hook. "Shoot it then hang on!" Buckshot grabbed hold of something solid and made sure no one else was inside the cargo hold.
Deeper inside the ship. Latyrx7 grabbed Hoist and Indelible. "Roadtrain says he can fly this thing. But he's going to need a co-pilot and a navigator. What can you two do?" Latyrx7 saw Air Fang looking around. "And you! Stay away from any armaments! No gunnery duty for you. You'll have the galactic alliance after us next."
Roadtrain found the cockpit. Everything looked in order except for dusty controls. There was a three stations; the pilot and co-pilot station with two seats right up front, a communication station and a navigation console complete with radar and long range scanners. The vessel was a standard Autobot transport, very old but state of the art for it's time. Every thing looked to be in working order, but of course the only way to know for sure would be to perform a systems check and test her out. But did they have time for that? Roadtrain saw a manifest on the pilot seat. At the top of the crew list he saw the pilot's name, a Captain Warburn had flown this vessel which didn't have a name, but merely a ship id of 09-20-2002-08-19-2003.

Roadtrain couldn't help but chuckle as he made his way to the cockpit.
"I mean, I just slugged Prime, pretty sure the Autobots are after me anyway. And damn did that feel good!"
Bomblast looked towards the control panel he needed to destroy. One accurate shot would be enough to destroy the panel and get the doors open. But that's just not Bomblast's style. He took aim and unloaded one of his Bomb-Blasters in the general area, sure that the multiple grenades would do the trick. After he fired, he grabbed ahold of Buckshot's grappling hook.
"Let's gooooooo!!" He shouted as the grenades began to detonate.
Roadtrain dusted off the controls to the transport and began to warm up the engines. He quickly performed a couple of system checks, satisfied that the engines and flight controls were operational enough for them to make a quick getaway. As he warmed up the engines, he looked at the previous flight crew.
"Warburn? Didn't he fly with Malware?" He muttered to himself.
He flipped a couple of switches and activated the ship COMM.
+++COMM+++ "Is everyone on board?" +++COMM+++

Through the ship's front viewer, Roadtrain saw an explosion after he had asked his question. The bay doors began to open.
Bomblast felt another explosion behind him, the Autobots had laid breaching chargers on the doors and blown them open. Now, they were pouring in and firing at the ship. Buckshot let go of what his free hand was holding to activate the ship's com.
+++COM+++ "Yes, we're all on board! Get us out of here!" +++COM+++
He then grabbed on again and hoped Bomblast could get up the ramp before Roadtrain took off. If not, at least he could pull him in with his grapple hook and line. At least in theory.

“Gee it sure would be nice if some one had blown up the door way so they couldn’t chase after us” Air-Fang sarcastically retorted on his way to the cockpit area of the ship, taking a seat at the old co-pilot station, right next to Roadtrain, since he didn’t fly In ships much, and by not much this would be his 2nd trip in a space ship the first one was the prison transport that brough him here, Air-Fang did something that others did not expect.
He put his seatbelt on. And made it tight.
“so” He said next to Roadtrain “Latyrix said not for me to be on gunnery duty for fear of galactic alliance, whoever that is, but we are being shot at by autobots and renegades, and with each hit our chance of leaving becomes smaller and smaller, due to you know, the ship taking damage,” he said looking at the dash board, “so I am making a decision to ignore that order just enough to ask you question”
“Do you want to operate the ships weapons, and fire back enough for them to take cover, or should I do it?”
a shark like grin appeared on the Air-fangs face along with a dark shine in his predator like eyes, a long claw like finger hovered over a random button on the dashboard, (no its not the self-destruct or the ejector seat button) in hope that was the random button to activate the onboard weapons turrets. He had no clue where the button for that was, but figured if there was any one on his side with this vile idea it most likely was Roadtrain

"I'm a fair pilot" replied Indelible to Laytrx7, "But I'm happy to be co-pilot, and sanyway; somebody has to keep an eye on Roadtrain! Excuse me." With that Indelible moved towards the cockpit to help out, Primus forbid Roadtrain's flying wasn't up to it..
I better stay here" Hoist confirmed. "Who knows what Air Fang will do next, besides we still have that company to deal with. IF this mech doesn't blow us all up first with him!".
