Retroblazer nodded. "Yes sir." He hesitated for a moment, then let go of his face. As he did so, a large chunk of armor plaiting fell away, leaving his skull and shattered optic exposed to the bare skeleton on one side. This decimated half sputtered and leaked oil as he grabbed Jackal by his upper arms. "Cricket, get his legs. Lead the way: I can't see much beyond a few feet."

quickshot looks up with blurry optics at Magnus. He was still very dazed from the wreck but he could tell he was in good hand.

Cricket was once again, seeming in very high spirits.
"Ooookee dokee!" He grinned and giving chase to Retroblazer of to Jackal's body. He looped his arms around Jackal's legs and lifted them without a problem. His gaze turned onto Retroblazer, smile fading to a frown.
"You okay, mate? You seem a little ... down in the face...." He seemed to chew something over in his head for a little while before leading the way as directed. "Okay! Leading! Leading the way where?" He glanced over his shoulder at Retroblazer, a distant look in his optics and with an expressionless face.

"I'm fine. Just hit my head on a control panel. People like me can take pain better than most." He took a few steps forward, stumbled a little, then moved on, carrying Jackal as swiftly as possible.

The mix of Autobots and Decepticons all collected themselves and re-grouped, the snow around them was beginning to fall harder and faster now come down thickly where they stood.
"What is this strange white stuff?", asked Iceblaster.
"Must be some bizarre weather condition, I've read about it on some planets", replied Magnus, "Now is everyone alright and able to walk? We need to find shelter.." Nearby Iceblaster had pulled out a geothermic reading device and was scanning the local area until off towards the distance he picked up something, his reader suddenly started beeping wildly.
"Hey Magnus, your not going to believe this but I'm picking up a feint signal! How could anything survive in these conditions - animal, vegatable or mineral?"
"How far IceBlaster?
"A couple of miles at least beyond those glaciers, and the signal isn't moving!"
"Alright can everyone travel? Those who can't should be helped from the others, so sound off everyone!", ordered Magnus sounding like a military leader for the first time in many many deca-cycles..

"ONE. TWO!" Cricket sang at the top of his lungs. If his audio sensors had heard correctly, Magnus had said 'sound off'. His childish mind churning with the effort of staying calm. 'Sound off, one two, sound off, three four...' Cricket chuckled, or giggled, to himself quietly.
Cricket nodded to Retroblazer. "Ouch. BUUUUUUUUT! Pain is good, and extreme pain is extremely good." He grinned, having no clue where he had remember that from. With swift ease, Cricket carried Jackal's legs, seeming as if they carried nothing at all. Jackal still looked, in a way, difficult to carry for Cricket, but the large mind faulter tank didn't give a second thought. His attention was brought to the white flakes falling.
"Heeeeeeeeey! This is quite cool!" He said while stretching a hand out to catch a few flakes with a smile. He grinned at the others, seeming to burst with childish energy.

Moving it on:
"Alright, let's get moving!", ordered Magnus stuffily seeing that at least the situation wasn't getting to one of his bots!
The group traveled through the snow the best they could in their alternate modes, until they could go no further, from thereon they trudged through the snow by foot, all the time those helping the less fortunate who were injured. Eventually they came to a cave where IceBlaster reported that the signal was coming from the cave ahead of them.
Venturing into the cave they had to be careful from the slippery ground, all around them great walls of rugged chiseled ice surrounded themas they ventured deeper into the cave, traveling down deep slopes of pure ice and tunnels made by the natural enviroment.
"It's round this pass!", reported Iceblaster excitedly, "And the signal's getting stronger! The bot began sprinting round the corner and down another section until he stood frozen at what he saw in the ice...
++++ COMMS +++
Hey boss, your not going to ever believe this!!! It's Air Raid and he's frozen behind a wall of sheet ice!"
++++ COMMS +++
"Everybody move!", ordered Magnus firmly and ran after his Autobot engineer...

Quickshot looked around confused
did he say Air Raid? but Air Raid died when the decepticons attacked the generator.
Jackal had been out of it since the crash, his head and limbs twitched occasionally like he was almost dreaming.

Retroblazer ran after Iceblaster. "So far as we know..." As he ran, he slipped, falling flat on his face. The other side of his face cracked fell away. He quickly stood up again, pretending nothing had happened, but the exposed skull displayed a horrifying sight. It was covered in wires, thin needles of dark liquid and evil-looking scars, all underneath a pale red piece of fragile glass, now cracked. A dark red light pulsated from underneath all of this, casting eary shadows across the ice. It was clearly not native to his body...

Cricket followed a litle more slowly. The snow was much more interesting at the moment. He flicked flakes off his shoulder as he trudged along. Grinning he glanced back at his footprints in the snow, stopped, and looked down at hs feet. He blinked at them, lifting a foot to look underneath it. Footprints. He seemed oddly amused by this and stomping hisfoot back down, he straightened up as the snow 'foofed' away. Laughing, he jogged to catch up to the others. He followed Magnus, and skidded to a hault by Retroblazer. Pausing, he studied the figure.
"Hello there! I don't believed we've been introduced..." He smiled, not indentifying the figure as Retroblazer...

Retroblazer sighed. "Yes, I suppose I look rather different without my face, eh, Cricket? And to think we lugged Jackal all the way over here together..." He inspected his reflection in the ice. He didn't seem suprised by what he found on the newly exposed side of his face, but he seemed wary of what was now for all to see...

"Maybe Air Raid can tell us himself what happened, but we need to get him out of there!", enthused Magnus, "But how? With no weapons or no abilities... At least I think our abiiities have still been restricted..", said Magnus as he crossed his arms and cupped his chin with his hand.
"Anyone got any ideas?.."

Quitshot chuckled

Retroblazer grinned, which is easy when your face is a skull. "Perhaps I should turn on my combat protocol and smash 'em out... heh."

"No Retroblazer!, remember what happened last time?! I don't think we're going to find much around here", replied the commander, "okay, everyone that's fit enough - begin pummeling!".
Magnus lead by example and walked over to the frozen Air Raid and began pummeling into the sheet of ice at the front, covering him. Afdfter punching it a few times - nothing, "This stuff is harder than it looks Autobots!", he informed them and began punching again, slowly a crack appeared, but it would take considerable force to get him out. "You Deceptions can help as well! I take it our past is well and truely just that after all?"
