Stickshift takes off down the road to the check point carrying Spike, Sparkplug and Bushido. Phoenix steps behind a tree to conceal himself as does Jackknife, but further back into the massive trees as he is larger. Sparkplug gets an odd look from the soldier in the checkpoint as he eyes Spike but he lets the mechanic pass. Stickshift drives down the winding road to the base where a few armed soldiers march and dozens of naval construction workers busy themselves back and forth like ants. They drive to the north warehouse where Spike and Sparkplug get out of the car. Spike tosses the Katana to the ground on the north side of the warehouse where no one is and father and son start walking toward the south warehouse.
Sparkplug looks around nervously, wondering how he's going to alert everyone to the danger and where they should hide. Not knowing what a "Decepticon" is capable of, he has only the size and apparent strength of the Autobots he's seen to go on... and that is more than enough to know they are all in grave danger!
"LOOK!" Spike shouts, pointing out to sea. Three jets are coming straight for the base. At first, no one else cares... but soon, a couple, then a dozen and finally everyone are staring out to see at the three lowflying fighter jets. Shortly, the base siren is sounding and crewmen and construction workers scatter, grabbing weapons and heading for cover.
As the Decepticon Jets, only recognizable by their coloring from their alternate forms back on Cybertron, approach, they open with long range fire on the nearly finished Destroyer. Esplosions rock the ship as the extremely powerful weapons of the Decepticons slice through the ship's armor plating.
((OOC:----------------------------------------------------------------------------:OOC))
The Decepticons begin firing from a very long range, but at their speeds they are passing over the base at virtually the same time. It is obvious that they are making a strafing run on the only thing that could offer resistance and will loop back for another strafe or simply land and take a more direct approach.
Skywarp is in the middle, flanked by Impact on his right and Nosedive on his left.
What action would you like to take and when?

As the Decepticon jets open fire on the ship, Bushido transforms (move action), draws his Energy Bow (free action), and holds his action until the jets are just past his position and then fires an arrow at Skywarp.
(2d6+3 20/x3, +3 to hit, -2 to hit per 100' distance)

[OOC - As soon as the Decepticons get within 1000 ft, Stickshift will get a missile lock on Nosedive (full round action) Then on his next turn he will launch (free action, attack +0, 3d10 damage) and transform (move equivalent) and stand guard over the warehouse (move as needed).]

Jackknife: Autobot/Tracker Trailer (Soldier)
Jackknife wasn’t really surprised by the Decepticons actions, he had hoped they would use less sound tactics, but it was all for not.
Shifting gears Jackknife starts slowly the down the hill as he watches the front gate for human activity.

As the Decepticon Jets approach and the soldiers and naval men rush about, The Autobots prepare for their ambush. Stickshift drops his windshield and revealing his missile rack and begins locking onto Nosedive. Bushido quickly transforms and pulls out his energy bow and tracks them across the sky. The Decepticons unleash their volley and roar overhead.
Bushido fires just as the Decepticon trio pass overhead. The sizzle of energy streaks across the sky from his bow to glance Skywarp’s fuselage as the blast of Stickshift’s rocket launches, leaving a trail of smoke that lays a stripe through the middle of the cove and strikes Nosedive near his port thruster.
The roar of another engine echoes through the cove, but this one is not the Decepticon jets. The big rig T600 thunders to life and burns down the road past the check point. The guards inside don’t even notice the rig for watching the jets streaking past, until it passes past them. “Hey!” One of them shouts futilely and both guards open fire with 9mm pistols. The bullets don’t even scratch the paint of the rig.
As Jackknife navigates the road, the three Decepticon Jets begin their turn back toward the base. Phoenix, hiding in the trees sees the missile hit Nosedive and decides to make him the target, picks his spot and waits for the jets to enter his kill zone. *CHHWWW CHHWWW CHHWWW* His automatic blaster carbine explodes, spewing a small burst of laser fire that scores on the underbelly of the Decepticon.
“AAARRRGGGHHH!” growls Nosedive in pain. “These tiny flesh sacks have defenses, Skywarp.”
“Quit your whining, Nosedive, I was hit too. You don’t hear me crying.” Skywarp says, not realizing how much more damage Nosedive took than he.
The Jets center on the base, ready to deliver another lethal strike and destroy what ever pathetic resistance the humans have managed to make.
As the Jets begin their second run, Impact shouts, “It can’t be! That’s Stickshift!” The jet visibly wobbles with the shock of seeing Stickshift standing near the North warehouse.
“Impossible!” Skywarp shouts as he too sees the Autobot SUV.
((OOC: ---------------------------Summary; Round 1, Surpise round------------------------:OOC))
Bushido hits Skywarp with his energy bow doing 2d6 (8) + 3 = 11 Damage, - 10 Gargantuan Hardness = 1 Damage. Bushido is still unseen along the Northern wall of the North Warehouse.
Stickshift hits Nosedive with a missile doing 3d10 (21) – 10 Gargantuan hardness = 11 damage. Transforms and positions himself along the southern wall of the north warehouse.
Jackknife maneuvers down into the base to the center near the bridge closest to the Ocean, stopping on the south side. He can be seen, but it does not appear that the Decepticons recognize him as being an Autobot.
Phoenix (No choice of target mentioned, so I chose the already damaged Nosedive) shoots Nosedive doing 3d10 (17) + 1d8 (Marksmanship 1, +3 damage) for 20 points – 10 gargantuan hardness = 10 damage. Phoenix is still unseen, hiding among the tall evergreen trees above the cliffs
Skywarp takes 1 damage from Bushido.
Impact takes no damage.
Nosedive takes 21 points of damage from Phoenix and Stickshift.
All three Decepticon Jets are in formation flying toward the heavily damaged human Destroyer on a line from the Southeast to the Northwest.
------------------------------------------Round 2------------------------------------------
Please state your actions and roleplaying for the next round.
Good job on round 1

My distance weapons seem to be largely ineffective, but they seem to be more effective than the humans weapons. We need to lure them in to land somehow to remove their greatest advantage.
Bushido keeps his bow trained on Skywarp and once more releases his shot after Skywarp has passes his position, hopefully keeping himself out of Skywarps firing arc.
2d6+3 20/x3, +3 to hit, -2 to hit per 100' distance

Jackknife: Autobot/Tracker Trailer (Soldier)
Still in his alternate form Jackknife rumbles to the edge of the pier. His plan was brave, but some would call it foolhardy, but he realized the need to dupe the Decepticon out of the air, and hopefully to even the odds, so he considered it to be worth the risk.
As he turns around with unearthly precision he fires off an encrypted transmission, “Good job, continue to concentrate upon Nosedive… I’m going to try and goad Impact into ramming me. Bushido, be ready to transform.”
From the end of the pier Jackknife provokingly revs his engine as he waits for the Decepticons to come into audible range, his vocal synthesizers scream out his challenge, “Impact! When did you start using a gun to do your dirty work?!?”
