((OOC: Just to clarify, Steelclaw's pump-action weapon is a rifle, not a shotgun. I guess it's important to say so because that means it's less powerful than a shotgun is at close range, but more powerful than a shotgun is at a distance. Steelclaw, perhaps unfortunately, doesn't own any shotguns. If the rifle is any threat to Ocariner, it's because of the incendiary rounds. ))
Steelclaw thought it best to let Starshadow run ahead of him. She had heard exactly where the pod had landed back at the Darksyde anyways, so she wouldn't really need help finding it. He just hoped that one of the two of them knew how stop the pod from getting its passenger out.
"Alright, I'll be with you as soon as I can." he shouted ahead to her. As he kept going at a moderate jog, he began to realize how strong the sun seemed to be shining on him. He was just glad the place wasn't total desert- there were some places where his route went directly into some shade, and those brief moments felt good. Then once in a while a breeze would come by from behind him, and that too felt refreshing. But one of the more curious things he noted was that each individual wind brought with it a different mixture of smells, most extremely unfamiliar. He'd have to do some more research on the planet if he wanted to find out what each smell was. But he didn't really want to. So he wouldn't.
But he was a little surprised when a breeze came by with a few extremely faint, but familiar scents. He kept his pace and tried desperately to figure out where he had encountered those smells before when it suddenly hit him- Icebreaker and Ocariner. From his limited experience with his beast mode instincts, he estimated they were still a few miles away.
But it would be counter-productive for him to run any faster. He had read every Maximal's file from the stolen files of the Axalon's computer, and he had a sudden, eery realization that he was being monitored right at that very moment on the killer whale's scanners. If he ran faster, the Maximals would know he was on to them, and it would be disadvantageous to let them know that.
"Starshadow," he radioed ahead, "have you reached the pod yet?"

((OOC: Oh, my bad lol. I assumed it was a shotty because you asked me to draw one for the stat card, but I didn't know that RPG-Steelclaw had a pump-action rifle instead...with incendiary rounds! Well, that's an interesting turn of events. Hooray for explosions *boom*))

((OOC: True, I did ask you to draw that. The plan was for his rifle to look like a shotgun (because I think they look cooler), but still be a rifle. So I can't remember if I just asked you to draw a shotgun to simplify the matter, or if I really was thinking of a shotgun when I asked for it. Either way, you drew it like I want it to look, and I love the picture.
And the rifle has the option to fire standard rounds too- both types actually get loaded in separate compartments and he can select which type to fire off.
I know modern weapons don't work quite like that, and I know rifles look like rifles, but I figured Cybertronian technology- especially technology 300 years down the road, could conceivably make it work. Hurray for science fiction.
EDIT: Having just read the biography that I wrote to go with that drawing, I literally did say he was armed with shotguns. So I was probably thinking of a literal one when I asked for the drawing. Either way, yes, it is a rifle in this role play.))

"Hmm..." Starshadow used her long ranged sight ability and zoomed in what was ahead of her. She noticed something was standing among the sand.
"It's a cactus-NONONO!! STEEL, I'VE FOUND THE POD!!" the cat replied in her comlinks.
"It's far but I should get there in time. Starshadow out."
The heat was burning her body but she had to keep up her speed.

(Well yeah, it really doesn't matter too much on what you call that particular one since it's a Gauss rifle, essentially a Railgun. It wouldn't operate with rifling, it just magnetically projects the slug 3 times the speed of sound. Just not as versatile as a Shotgun since the buckshot would be too fast and probably wouldn't have as nice of a spread or as many ammo options (Real Shotguns have up to what, 13 different types of ammo? Lets see.. Slug,Foster,buckshot,Taser,Dragon breath,Bolo,Grenade,Frag 12,Flare,Screecher,Beanbag,Rubber,Gas,etc).
The Incendiary rounds are pretty nasty though, bust through the armor and then set anything inside on fire. Though I always did find it funny Steelclaw carried a Gauss rifle and a Sniper rifle.. since the Gauss rifle would be faster, more accurate, create more damage, have no muzzle flash,have more range, and so on.. it really kinda renders the Sniper rifle as redundant as the Sniper rifle would be rather similar just a longer barrel,scope, and maybe have Semi automatic capabilities unless Steelclaw prefers bolt action. But then again the Sniper rifle does have the advantage of using a explosive charge(black powder or some cybertronian equivalent) instead of charged capacitors for the Gauss rifle. )
Icebreaker raised one of his large yellow eyebrows as Orcariner asked him about hiding in the desert, and then guns of all things. "Er.. well, it'd probably be easier to get them to follow me if I kidnapped one of them..Which can't be that hard since I'm almost twice their size.. If you think you can dig fast enough for that sort of thing.. you could try setting up a small trench. I have a tarp big enough and similar color.. just have to use some rocks to keep it tight and put sand on it.
As for your gun.. I'm kinda surprised, you did go to the military academy. I only learned from some backwater rescue work..in fact that is part of how I got my gun.. One of the bots I rescued was thankful, but thought I was far too reckless.. too hotheaded. She figured I needed something to cool down. Ha! Show's her, didn't change a thing.
Alright, I believe your weapon was a Carbine, they're kinda similar to an assault rifle but not as powerful. Lighter and smaller to make them more suited for close and indoor combat. It should have a switch to go between single shot and the three shot mode you talk about..Single shot provides a more rifle like use, and triple shot is something to use when pressured or unskilled at firing as it increases your chances of hitting that target. When you use the gun, I want you to try to use it with two hands, if you can't then atleast make sure you always operate it with the butt of the gun is between your chest and shoulder to stabilize it. Then level the gun on the thing you want to shoot, bend your knees slightly to absorb the recoil and use the sight on top to target.
Rattrap is probably better suited at teaching this though.. he's a pretty good shot with that Machine pistol of his. "

Glowstick pointed himself mantle first as he propelled himself through the air towards Frilla and Sonar's area. Their response on the radio was unsettling, but predictable. They would probably have some trouble with the maximal fliers as they were fast and well armed, Sonar was more suited for sneaking around then blitzkrieg tactics and Frilla was practically a noncombatant, though Glowstick himself wasn't that great at combat either. He then picked up on the Predacon channels that they found the first pod, it was some good news at least, and since they were on land they would have more of a fighting chance if the other maximals found them.

((OOC:
I allow for the possibility, therefore, that his sniper rifle, through whatever Cybertronian system it uses, has a greater range than his gauss rifle.

Of course, a range greater than a rail-gun's is probably just gratuitous, but weaponry is one of the few areas Steelclaw refuses to be conservative in.
It's better, then, to put the scope on the longer ranged weapon, and while it's possible to put a long range-targeting tool on the lesser-ranged weapon, it seems more productive to leave that tool off, and instead allow the guass rifle to be more easily wielded.))
"Good job, Star." Steelclaw said on his com-link. "I'll be there relatively soon. See if you can freeze the pod's formatting process... unless you know how to reprogram the protoform out here. Either way, we're not going to have much time. Icebreaker and Ocariner are headed towards us."
Steelclaw began thinking through all the different strategies he had seen employed by enemy combatants on the field. They might try a straight out attack, they might attempt to lure them them into an ambush, they might try some running 'n' gunning style guerrilla tactics... there were a lot of different ways the Maximals could go. But he and Starshadow would have to be very careful. Unless Starshadow could reprogram the protoform (he certainly didn't know how to), they'd be carrying a pod across land with sparse, though admittedly existent, cover.
I've never tried to specify what provides the ammo propulsion on Steelclaw's sniper rifle, because I actually assumed, when I was conceiving of his character, that earth mechanics couldn't be nearly as efficient or powerful as Cybertronian technology. The very fact that he uses metallic ammunition in the two weapons that do is my attempt to at least buck against some of that assumption and give him something reminiscent of Earthen technology (Not that there aren't any bullet based weapons around in Transformers. Tarantulas and Blackarachnia seem to fire that sort of ammunition from their machine guns, and Rampage, when he arrives in "Bad Spark", seems to fire darkly colored rounds out of his "gatling gun" when he shoots Silverbolt's club out of the air and blasts him to the ground. But explosives and various energy weapons seem to be much more prevalent).Though I always did find it funny Steelclaw carried a Gauss rifle and a Sniper rifle.. since the Gauss rifle would be faster, more accurate, create more damage, have no muzzle flash,have more range, and so on.. it really kinda renders the Sniper rifle as redundant as the Sniper rifle would be rather similar just a longer barrel,scope, and maybe have Semi automatic capabilities unless Steelclaw prefers bolt action.

Orcariner chucked, "Yeah, I mainly completed a few deca-cycles worth of academic studies at the Academy. Hence, all the random scrap floating around my databanks. My firearm scores were pretty low since I only completed one course that specialized in heavy weaponry. The IPMs still accepted my application for internship because of my high academic scores, physique, and close quarters combat abilities. They also said my creativity had potential."
He laughed at that last part.
"I'll take your advice on shooting, though," he said, "I'm used to hip-firing so maybe that's the problem. Either than or scrap this gun and build a thermal seeking missile pod to blast those Predacon fliers out of the sky."
If only, he thought.

Starshadow managed to reach the pod, transforming into robot mode and started to reprogram the protoform as fast as she could, changing the programming chip.
It would be risky to freeze the formatting if the maximals arrive just in time and claim the pod without reprogramming it to a predacon.

(Well, a lack of a chip would lock the whole sequence up.. so.. here goes..)
Icebreaker raised his optic ridge slightly as Orcariner mentioned the thermal seeking missile pod " Er.. Technically that is what my missiles do. I just never use the lockon. Takes so long when I can just fire off a bunch of missiles and blow everything up. In anycase! We're getting close to the calculated landing point. You know.. the hole plan might not work.. we can't hide the displaced soil.. So I'll go in and distract them, you float as close as you feel comfortable, then try laying down and doing some sniping with your Carbine."
Icebreaker then leaned down pulling the cord with his beak, the quick release hooks detaching. He transformed to robot mode collecting the tarp and cords, then started to wind them up neatly to be reused later, as he wanted to leave the desert as soon as possible. He stepped off Orcariner's back landing on the ground, then detached his shield throwing it out onto the ground as it unfolded. He stepped on it lifting his cannon in a saluting gesture, then speed off ahead.
Off in the distance from Steelclaw, a strange cloaked figure was seen moving at him at high speed with a trail of dust behind him, a low electric whine heard from his board. He springs up over the bear, his cloak/tarp coming off in the wind blowing onto Steelclaw as he proceeds a head, a cloud of dust simply left in his wake.
Icebreaker turns his head back looking towards Steelclaw's position. It seemed he was alone, he then turned his head forward, his tactical visor sliding down over his optics displaying the thermal signatures of the area. The device recalibrate itself for the intense heats of the desert, then soon as he came within range detected StarShadow, the black fur and dark purple points of her armor glowing brightly on his display. Icebreaker smirked slightly as his mask slid up over his face, then crouched very low on the board to increase his speed.
As he came within range of the busily working Panther, he suddenly swung his body up with his hand grabbing the ground, whipping his body and the board into the air across StarShadow's upper torso to use the moment to knock her over the stasis pod, he then fell over himself smacking into the Stasis pod, a cloud of dust blowing over the pod and Icebreaker.
The sudden impact with the pod and dust effected the open panels of the pod, causing the Predacon chip to suddenly fall out of the panel. "Predacon programming chip can not be accessed, progress discontinued. Error! ERROR!"
Icebreaker blinked looking at the Stasis pod, he appeared to of broken it. Huh.. Wonder what that means. He leaned up rubbing his head, then noticed a small trail of smoke coming from the pod .. Oh.
(There! Programming while in the field is now impossible! Yay for speed and bad luck landings..)

"Slag....I forgot what was the next step-" she snarled as Icebreaker knocked her, sending her to the dry sand. She put a hand over her chest scar which Orcariner made earlier.
SLAG IT! The maxies have arrived! she thought as she stood up, walking towards the stasis pod. This time, she would use her old combat skills that she had used four years ago.

Steelclaw had heard the electronic hum, and it had stopped him in his tracks, but he didn't see the penguin until he was ahead of him, and the tarp landed very passively on top of him.
Steelclaw allowed himself a moment to roll his eyes and blow in jest at the piece of tarp laying on his muzzle. The tarp actually felt somewhat cool- maybe the penguin had been experimenting with a cooling system. Either way, he was almost loath to take it off, but he had a job to do, so he simply walked on ahead, and a relative lack of friction on the tarp allowed it to stay in place while he went away.
"Steelclaw, terrorize." he commanded when he was out from underneath the tarp. He could smell Ocariner close by, but the killer whale couldn't have already gotten ahead of him, so it seemed safe (and necessary) to move ahead to where Starhadow and Icebreaker were.
Grabbing his guass rifle from its place on his back, he began running around in an arc to get closer to the stasis pod, but keep it away from his firing angle.
He actually trusted his aim quite a bit, and he estimated he could fire off rounds and miss the pod and Starshadow by as small or large a margin as he desired to. But he wasn't ready yet to take chances, even on the things he could control.

"Alright, and you be careful Val" said Skyfire before Valkyrie flew down. Following her Valkyrie's example, Skyfire fired at the Predacons but not with the intent of hitting them. Also like Valkyrie she kept her moving while firing the shots, looking out for any shots that may come her way and hoping that Valkyrie would reach the pod safely."Skyfire, i'll go down, slow the Predacons down and reach for the pod, and start its activation programs, as it seems its unable to do so by itself as it would've done so already. You attack them from the sky while i do so.
"And be careful, the flying Pred has proven to be a pain, and the running one is unknown to me. So keep moving while you attack them. You'll be harder to hit.
"When i started up the pods activation, i'll join you, and attack them from near the pod from the ground."

"May the matrix be with us both."

Starshadow snarled and charged towards the pod, knocking Icebreaker off the pod. "The pod belongs to me...No one else can have it, not even the predacons." she unsheathed her claws and swiped it on the penguin's face.

Icebreaker leaned his head back from her swipe, her claws still scratching across his face mask, he then swung up his knee into her body knocking her away, rolling to get up. He raised an optic ridge under his tactical visor as he looked down at her " You must of taken a harder hit to the head then I thought lady, that Stasis pod is NOTyour baby." he then stated, his head turned slightly as his visor made a noise displaying another cybertronian heat signature, Steelclaw had caught up.
He rushed onto his board, then sped off in a fast arc from the pod, bumping the lever on the side of his gun with his thigh to switch it to missile mode. He knew this battle would be hard, but he couldn't risk losing the pod to the Predacons.He had little worry with StarShadow, while she was insane and powerful she was far from a trained soldier, like most the other Predacons most likely just a serial killer or lowly thug, Steelclaw on the other hand was not like the other Predacons. He showed team work skills,was able to infiltrate the maximal base,well skilled as a marksmen and soldier,and showed no fear in the face of firepower. This.. would be a problem as Icebreaker himself was not a trained soldier, his equipment and training specialized in rescue and survival.
He pointed his gun out grabbing under it with his left hand as added support pointing it towards Steelclaw in the distance, his visor displaying a red reticule over the image of Steelclaw, he then fired off a micro missile towards the Predacon Soldier. He then shifted the board moving suddenly from a right arc to a hard left arc,removing his left hand from his gun and shifting his body to balance the board, Icebreaker's body going almost 45 degrees in angle in the process.
(Probably want Alak and Venatrix to catch up, which I think is why everybody stopped posting yesterday and most of after Skyfire posted.)
