Brainwave was surprised Rastun blinded charged in the way he did. Tarantulas' goading must have hit a nerve with him too. And predictably the results were as productive as Megatron's.

"So let me get this straight, during the duration of your entire time slow it never occurred to you to aim for his eyes? Why must everyone run off half cocked today..."

"You shouldn't hold it against him. His mech's design is far too reliant on the blades, it was an obvious place to prod at. Megatron on the other hand deserves mockery"

"I deserve mockery? You once lost to a rat that threw mud in your eyes."

"And you once lost to a half dead robot with a stick. Do you really want to compare failures?"

Not wasting anymore time with idle chatter Megatron charged again slashing at Tarantulas with his sword. Tarantulas simply blocked the blade with his left arm.

"Really Megatron, is that the best you can come up with right now? I realize you're only good at plotting when you piggy back off of someone elses plans but this is pathetic."

"If the sword can't cut you I'll simply hit you till you break!" Releasing a flurry of blows Megatron attempted to smash Tarantulas' armor with brute force.

"How inventive. Let me indulge you." Lowering his arm, not even pretending to defend anymore Tarantulas let Megatron strike away to taunt him. "Can't you see it's pointless? You should just accept the inevitable and join me!"

Enjoying his taunting of Megatron far too much for his own good Tarantulas failed to notice Brainwave take action. Silently approaching from the spiders blindspot the Transtech sprung his trap.

"Surprise!" He shouted as he slapped a small device on Tarantulas shoulder.

The former Predacon scientist instantly recognized what it was as well as realized the timer was far too short to disarm. He gasped in horror at the realization.

"What a shame, you got so caught up in the idea you had Megatron wrapped around your claws you never considered he could use that against you."

The beeping from the device was speeding up clearly approaching activation. "Oh no!" The final beep in the sequence sounded off... "Psyke! No unauthorized space bridges on these premises. Have to say that was ballsy though. And unrefined generator like that. Had it worked it would have sucked us all in and likely blown up the city when the portal collapsed." The spider finished by charging the disturbingly clever Transtech and delivering a swift kick to his side. Brainwave for his part did his best to block the blow with his left arm but the blow was enough to send him flying several hundred feet anyways.

"I certainly hope that wasn't the best you had to offer. I'd be very disappointed if it was." This irritating spawn of Unicron was trying to bait him now. Well he wasn't going to fall for it but he was certainly going to make the would be mastermind regret it. He just needed to wait for another distraction to spring a few more surprises.
