Bushido proclaims as his lightning swift strike of his sword slashes through the third beetle again.  The cut is true and pure, slashing through the core of the insecticon.  Raw Energon begins to pour out of the beetle and Bushido instantly recognizes the damage that he did to the insecticon’s Energon capacitor.The second beetle struggles futilely against Brawn’s fierce grip.The fourth grasshopper climbs up Jackknife’s back looking for a “tender” place to bit.  Preceded by a jovial “AH HA!”, Jackknife feels himself suddenly draining precious Energon as the insectile robot finds a seem in the armor where it then bites down on an exposed Energon cable.  Automated systems seal the leaking Energon but the damage is done and the loss of Energon is immediately felt by the massive Autobot.  The third beetle transforms and, using his antenna, begins to attempt to draw electrical energy from the sky.  So far, he manages only to generate a bit of static electricity.Brawn wrestles the beetle to the ground and bear hugs it as it squeaks in pain. “Yer not going anywhere, bug brain.”The final grasshopper transforms after crashing through the trees and, laying prone, fires off a single shot at Stickshift which hits, but does little damage to the large SUV.----------------------==========((OOC))==========---------------------- Phoenix: Attacks Shrapnel 1, 20 (1d20) +6 (attack bonus/+PB) = 26 and a critical strike.  Crit to “Nexus Generator”.  Damage 17 (3d10) +4 (1d8) = 21Damage taken; Shrapnel 1 does 16 damage minus 8 for Large DR = 8 damage.  Kickback 3 does 6 damage minus 8 for large DR = 0 damage.Shrapnel 1: Total attack rolled 23 and hits Phoenix doing a total of 16 damage.  Kickback 3: attacks Phoenix with a total attack roll of 20, doing a total of 6 damage.Bushido: Attacks Shrapnel 3 again, attack and damage previously rolled.Jackknife: Hold.  Action pending BS’s post.Damage; Gets attacked by Kickback 4 who rolls a natural 20 and scores a critical.  (Nexus Energy Leak; lose 3 (1d4) temp CON, but succeeds at the fort save and is not stunned (total rolled = 25)  Also takes 12 damage minus 10 for Garg.
