re_alignment | A public service announcement re: Airachnid.

Don't let her sweet talk you. She may have a nice set of eight legs, but Airachnid lives only for #1. She is disloyal, self-obsessed, power hungry, sadistic, evil, without empathy or morals ; and more importantly deadly. If you're a bot or a con or especially a human, stay the scrap away from her. Scrap she's done :

1. Betrayed Lord Megatron on multiple occasions
2. Betrayed the Autobots
3. Stolen energon and spare parts
4. Tortured mechs for the fun of it
5. Taken out an entire unit of Autobots on her own
6. Hunted entire species to extinction, causing planetary collapse
7. Stolen ships
8. I'm pretty sure she had something to do with the Barrun Far disaster
9. Disrespected her teammates and superior officers
10. Fostered mutiny
11. Dismembered and killed teammates

If you're thinking "Oh, but I can take care of her, and make a deal, and we can both come out on top." : NOPE. No, she'll doublecross you before the deal's even done, and leave you under a junk heap missing your t-cog. She also enjoys torturing squishies. Also, she can drill through the ground so be careful. I'm serious, don't help her, she'll just repay you by killing you and stealing all your stuff.

...Do you know if she's at any of the temples?

And I'm guessing she looks like a spider....

I have no idea where she is. I just intercepted an audio transmission. That means she could be anywhere, which is the worst place for her to be. Sometimes she looks like a spider. She's a Cybertronian with purple optics, all black.

[Nods her head.]

All right, thanks for the heads up.

...So, how's Knock Out? Did both of you get through the Invasion okay? Not hurt or anything, right?

I got pretty slagged up when someone dropped off a horde of those buggers at Solus. Put me outta comission for... since y'saw me. Knock Out's okay though. That's the important part.

Good to hear!

Got like infected or overextended myself or something during the fighting, I'm still fuzzy on the details-- [shakes her head] --but either way I got sick and was out for days. [shrugs] Better now though.

...So, did you fight Airachnid before?

[OOC: Oh Korra. Even your attempt to tread lightly just fails.]

...You are a really thorough mech. I'm impressed.

She drills, and took out a unit of Autobots on her own? Fascinating.

[[ooc: I'm assuming IDW scream still sounds like G1 scream, lovely high pitched Chris Latta voice and all.]]

Ahhhh... Thanks, ma'am! I try. I mostly have a bit of a personal thing against her.

Hey. Hey I know what that tone of voice means. Seriously, don't try an alliance. She doesn't DO alliances.

Yeah, I fought her. A few times. She fights dirty.
[seriously scowling.]

I am hardly interested in an alliance. Drilling is simply not a common trait, it is intriguing.

Okay, I'm guessing your first bit of advice is to just run if you cross paths with her...but if running's not an option, any other tips on what to do if you've gotta fight her?

Like, how dirty does she fight?

...And how often does she drill through the ground?

[ooc; LMAO and in a single tag you become my hero. I've always read him in that kind of voice as well, it's pretty much perfect.]

Wha--[NO. ALL OF HIS NO'S. This is so awkward there's only one ladybot in his entire universe, nobody has ever done this to him before.] No. You're mistaken, ah. ...my name is Starscream.

[Does that help or does it make it worse.]

Well well! She sounds like a winner all right.

I couldn't quite follow all of that, but I definitely got the "she's bad news so don't do anything dumb" message.

Gotta say! I don't think I've really seen you that angry, Breakdown.

Yeah? So what's your point? She's bad?

[He shrugs.] Who here isn't?

1. If you can't run, still don't fight. She likes to talk, so talk until you can run and keep your guard up because

2. She'll attack you while you try to talk to her. She uses every dirty trick. Don't expect her to keep any deal. also watch out for her extra arms.

3. All the time. She drills all the time.

C- commander Starscream? What happened to your voice?

[Megatron has an APB out concerning Starscream. Capture the jet at all costs, he says. Welllp, Subtrefuge isn't Breakdown's forte but he's got to try. AT this rat, he might come across Megatron! And what better way to prove he's still a worthy commander despite disappearing?]

You should... You should come to the temple of Solus and get yourself looked at. Doctor Knock Out's here. You uh, you don't sound okay.

[For instance, what was with the "I've never heard Breakdown before" tone?]

Oh- okay. Cool, I guess. I'd love to know where she got it from, but not enough to ask her. Yeah, she drills with her derrière.

About number three: How strong is her drill? Can she drill only through the ground--er, dirt, rock? Or can she drill through metal too?

She sort of dismembered me. I take it personal. I used t'think she was kinda hot, and then she started pulling all this rotten-sparked scrap on the ship, making everyone's lives miserable. But yeah, run far away, or fly. Though she can fly too. Slagging overpowered glitch.

...me? Knock Out? The Brave Police? Wing? Maybe even some squishies if they'll keep their hands off my partner. Plenty of people aren't bad.

[Ah, hm. He can't really make a snide remark about the dismemberment. It can't be seen, but he frowns deeply.]

Right, right. I'll be careful, Breakdown. Cop's honor.

You gonna be okay?

I never got in between her drill and wherever it wanted to go. SO I don't know if it slices metal ; I only saw it through rock.

I'll live. I just didn't want nayone trusting her. Petty as scrap, I know, but I guess I also didn't want something happening to bots like you. She's a real smooth talker.

How touching! Then sentiment is appreciated, though. I'm sure McCrane and Deckerd feel the same way.

Thank you, Breakdown. It's not really all that petty if you're making sure people know the facts. I'd so the same if some criminals I knew showed up as well.
