Roadtrain chuckled as he listened to Tomboy.
"Watch who you call a 'rust bucket', I'm probably older than some of the Elders."
He and Deadbolt listened to Optanica Prime's speech. When the crowd cheered, Deadbolt joined in just as loud as the rest of them. Roadtrain, restrained as ever, joined in the round of applause, but remained silent. Deadbolt turned back to Roadtrain and Tomboy.
"Might be an idea to find the rest of the team, especially if we're shipping out soon."
Roadtrain, being by far the tallest of the three, surveyed the area. After a couple of moments he spotted Computic.
"Over there." He said, pointing in Computic's direction. "I see a couple of members of the team."
Deadbolt grinned and looked at Tomboy while making a guesture with his arms.
"Ladies first."

Omnitron was about to bite Hardstrike's head off when the young Renegade's next comments caught him off guard. 'If you didn't make the right decision you wouldn't be here! Now get over it, you sound like a human parent complaining about one of their video games. Oh and as for you friend over there, I don't care if you know her or not. I'm not a surgeon Hardstrike, what do I care about opening an old wound.' Omnitron stepped away from Hardstrike not wanting to waste anymore time with him or the cermony. And he was quite happy to leave the conversation as the one who got the last word in.
As Optanic finished off her speech, the crowds cheered and all the Autobots began to say their good byes and get into their groups. Meanwhile, Computic was whipping himself into a frenzy over what Onix had said. 'The difference? About 3.2 astro-seconds thats the difference! How about now assisstance form a medic for the upgrade or the resuiting of a body performed though a mental link up? And the sheer amount of explosives you would have to sneak on to Unicron would be detected right away, and then you have to....'
As Computic when on, Incognito saw Incendius didn't want to talk about it. 'Ok bigbot, we'll get a energon larger later. Hey there's Driveby! Hey Driveby over here!'
As Incognito waved in one of his comrades, he spotted Roadtrain and Tomboy. The other robot they were with was Deadbolt, someone he knew by name but hadn't really sat down to got to know. It was actually Tomboy he was interested in. 'Now there's a healthy distraction, don'tcha think? But she's always hanging out with Roadtrain. What's he got that I don't got?'

Onix shook his head
"The transformation is all 'smoke and mirrors' as the humans would say. I suspect a hologram. Simple too pull of, hard to detect. You can't really expect me to believe that after sticking a relic into your chest that you will instantaneously be reformatted as some super being crafted by Primus himself. I find your version harder to believe. And the Unicron thing, they flew an entire ship into him as the story goes. A ship packed with explosives in the right spot then BLAM! Unicron's own power supplies and circuitry do the rest of the job."

Deadbolt overheard Incognito as they approached. He looked at Incognito, then to Roadtrain, then back to Incognito, then to Tomboy, then to Roadtrain again, then finally back to Incognito.
"What's he got that you don't? Have a guess big guy." Deadbolt chuckled. "Name's Deadbolt. I guess you know these two already."
Roadtrain lowered his head and placed it in his hand and groaned.
"Don't mind Deadbolt, he's almost always like this....No matter what we try." Roadtrain said in a rare moment of humour.

Hardstrike was glad Omnitron walked, he obviously still head up his back skid-plate and was twice as obnoxious. He doubted he had ever had to make a hard decision in his life. As he rejoined the others he overheard most of what Onix Prime said.
"You still talking trash? How would you know anyway? Your not even a 'proper' Prime yourself..", questioned the bot. In a way he was glad Onix was talking trash, helping him to snap out of it, for the moment anyway, In the distance Cryptica was walking away with the others.
"Look back, look back...", thought Hardstrike as he looked around Onix and the other for an astrosecond. Cryptica half turned and gave a little wave causing a small surge of warmness to Hardstrike's mouth as it turned upward slightly in a half-smile. SImply saluting loosely back, he turned his attention back to the others thinking smugly what that popmpus, arrogant skid-plate Omnitron might have had to say had he seen it.
Drive-by joined the others, just nodding slightly to acknowledge to the others, but listening to their trivial banter and musings.

Computic was going counter what Onix had said, but when Hardstrike showed up and put his two cents in, he felt he didn't have to. He knew he was getting too worked up over it. He wanted to calm down but when he saw Tomboy, he didn't exactly feel relaxed. He glanced at Incognito for a second, who was staring at Tomboy as well.
Incognito didn't pay any attention to Deadbolt. 'The names Incognito.' He said to Tomboy.
'Charmed.' She replied back. Tomboy looked around and recognized most the of the robots around her from the Renegade program. She didn't know them that well, not like Deadbolt and Roadtrain, but she had heard good things about most of them.
Off in the distance, the fresh cadets were headed off to the space bridges. Groups of Autobots were being transported to various locations across Cybertron where they were to be stationed. Hardstrike, Incendius, Roadtrain, Onix Prime, Incognito, Phasmatis, Deadbolt, Driveby, Tomboy, Computic and the all the other Renegades that surrounded them were headed else where.
The Renegades heard the voice of their commander off in the distance. 'RENEGADES FALL IN! Elbows bolts and tailpipes troops!' Omnitron was calling the Renegades over to a group of shuttles.
'What's the deal? Don't Renegades get first class travel rights?' Incognito couldn't help to ask.

Incendius shook his head. "Nah... that would be too kind of Omnitron." He smiled widely at Incognito. "Oh, and greeny... keep your thoughts about certain comrades from plastering themselves all over your face." He inclined his head at Tomboy, raising an artificial eyebrow.
Meanwhile, Phasmatis was walking with purpose over to the shuttles. He shoved Computic in the face as he strode past him. "Out of the way, ditherer! You're as bad as that good-for-nothing hunk of scrap I so foolishly rebuilt!"

"It's not trash you just......"
Onix didn't have time to complete his thought when they were called. He was satisfied though. He always liked to get under people like Computics armor and getting them worked up. It was one of the perks of being the biggest doubters in all of Cybertron.
Onix strolled to Omnitron and fell in line, aside from the last few minutes of fun, he was tired of this place.

'What the frak?!' Tomboy saw what Phasmatis did to Computic and wasn't going to tolerate it. As the mysterious robot passed her by, she stuck out her leg in front of his path and tripped him up. 'Pick on someone else your own size grease bag!'

Phasmatis stumbled, turning slowly with eyes narrowed to Tomboy. Without a word, he activated one of his blades, bringing it lightning quick to her throat. He smiled darkly. "Oh yes?" He twisted it so that the blade quickly pierced her throat. It passed straight through, and though no damage was done externally, Phasmatis knew that the damage inwardly would soon become evident. He'd set it to a low freqeuncy,so perhaps a little respiratory malfunction at most... Incendius noticed the commontion. He gritted his teeth and turned to Incognito. "That damned Phasmatis... I'm going to kill him one of these days... I'm going over there." He made to move for Tomboy and Phasmatis...

Omnitron now saw the commotion. 'What in the... GUARDS! ARREST THAT MECH!' On Omnitron's order, Autobot police force member ran in and began to surround Phasmatis.

As the Renegades made their way to the shuttles, Roadtrain opened a small panel on his right wrist and pushed a few buttons. Within moments, his trailer arrived, came apart and bonded itself to him as armour. Just in time for Roadtrain to see Phasmatis attack Tomboy. Roadtrain reached over his shoulder, grabbed his rifle, disconnected it from his back and brought it over his shoulder and levelled it at Phasmatis' chest.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't slag you into the middle of the next cycle right now! Roadtrain demanded angrily.
Deadbolt reacted in kind, pulling the rifle that was slung over his back, also taking aim at Phasmatis. It was then that the Autobot Police Force arrived and surrounded them. Deadbolt moved closer to Roadtrain, keeping his rifle pointed at Phasmatis.
"Easy big guy. Let the APF deal with this now."
Roadtrain grunted.
"I will not stand idly by when one of my allies and friends gets hurt, especially by a fellow so-called 'ally'"

Phasmatis smiled coolly and raised his hands. "Officers, officers... please calm down. It was but a retaliation for a seemingly unprovoked attack. Complete instinct. I would never have done such a thing on purpose. Why, Tomboy is my comrade! Why would I wish to harm such a valuable asset to the team?"
Incendius walked over to the pair toting guns at Phasmatis. He put a hand on each weapon and slowly lowered them. "Phasmatis never did need reasons to hurt people, comrades. I want to slag the guy as much as you, probably more... but we should leave him to the Guards, for know."

The guards rushed in and took control of the situation. They grabbed Phasmatis' arms to put cuffs on him and made sure Tomboy, Deadbolt, Roadtrain and any other Renegade who was about to throw down at ease.
Tomboy began to feel like herself again, with her energy flowing at 100 percent again. She rushed past the guards who were trying to hold everyone back and was caught by Computic and Incognito. 'You trash-eating recycled sanitation droid! If you ever touch me again I'll...!'
'Whoa calm down relax!'
'Its ok Tomboy, the guards have him. And thank you for standing up for me...'
'Maybe next time you'll stand on your own like a real mech!'
Computic was taken back by Tomboy's angry remark towards him. The guards took control of her, and though they didn't put her in hand cuffs, they took her aside the same as they did Phasmatis.
Omnitron finally showed up. 'Dinobots act better then that! Phasmatis you've really done it now! I'm going to watch you rust as you sit in the middle of a cell until you regret what you did. As for the rest of you, were suppose to be a secret elite team of agents but instead you act like energon starved Terrorcons! Put your weapons away. Guard escort Phasmatis and Tomboy to the ships, were getting out of here!'

Incendius put a hand on Computic's shoulder. "Don't sweat it, Computic. I've felt those swords: you don't quite feel yourself after those. Turn your systems inside out, you know? Ya get all defensive. Natural reaction, don't worry. Let's go." He inclined his head towards the shuttles. Every fibre of his being wanted to follow the guards and beat Phasmatis to a pulp for being such a slag heap, but he knew it would only create more harm than good. Besides- he wouldn't sink to that cold blooded sociopath's level...
