Pyroat and Dnye crashed through the door, just in time to see the dreaded Autobot transform; medium sized and boxy, yet still several times larger than they were; it couldn't even stand up all the way in this replica of a house. "W-why are you here!?" Aerocip stammered. The 'Bot responded; "To find out why in the name of Cybertron the Constructicons built this place!" He pulled out a laser gun and pointed it directly at Aerocip's muzzle, "and I better have an answer or the last thing you new, tacky Decepticreeps hear will be a funeral march outta my sound system!" Dyne pulled the energon out of the real safe, and Aerocip didn't turn around as Dyne hurled the brick of energon at the Autobot, instead she blasted herself out of the way using her Air Compression Thrusters; landing on the floor next to Pyroat. The Protocons felt as a wave of heat from the energon exploding basked their faceplates, though they were just barely out of the range of the blast. The Autobot, however, was knocked back; crashing through the wall of the house and heavily damaging his exterior. Lying on his back from the explosion, he shouted at the sky, "Skyfire, abort! Regroup back at the Ark!" A massive white-and-red jet soared down from the clouds and opened up in front of the other Autobot as he shambled inside. The back of the jet closed and its landing gear went back up, as it took off into the sky, it shouted back at them; "consider this a warning for hurting my buddy!" Right after he finished his sentence, a small missile shot out of the top of the jet, turning around and detonating on impact with the house replica.
Shockwave watched as the Autobot jet fled the scene; leaving the wreckage of the house behind, he would not let such a blatant fool get away. He aimed his arm cannon at the coward, steadying, calculating... NOW! A massive discharge of energy shot out of his arm; arcing across the sky and completely missing the Autobot. Scrapper slowly turned his helm to face Shockwave, "Maybe there's a reason you never really were a frontliner like us, Shockwave." Shockwave shifted his vision from the escaping jet to Scapper, his singular eye twitching in rage. "SALVAGE WHAT YOU CAN FROM THE WRECKAGE AND BRING THE PROTOCONS TO ME OR I'LL REWIRE YOU INTO A REFRIGERATOR!!!"
