As the three insecticons delt with the large and trigger happy autobot, two more came out of the trees in a charge. They ignored the autobot that was being besieged by their comrads, one started to open fire upon the human tanks as it pressed forward without hesitation, while the other seemed more interested with the pod that the skirmish was based about.
The one with it's weapons firing upon the human tanks was successfully avoiding shots from them with an almost hypnotic ease. It seemed to have it's attention set upon the two tanks that had come from the town. When it managed to get up to them, it threw a kick at the first one, it then started to rip the head of the other tank off. While all this was happening, the other insecticoid started to scratch and dent the pod, in an attempt to rip it open, presumably because it didn't like the autobot signal it was giving off. Upon peeling open a small hole, to peak inside, it felt something suddenly thud into it's back before feeling a sudden surge of pain. It roared in pain as it turned it's attention upon a new autobot firing upon it. It snarled as it charged the autobot, firing as it did.

Target was busy making the human cooperate when he heard what sounded like metal crashing into metal which was quickly followed by Blitzwing's voice filling the air with a rainbow of words. He quickly turned around, raising his right arm and arming his missiles while holding the human in his left hand. A shiver went through his body as he quickly realised that the interlopers included Optimus Prime. Optimus showed no hesitation as he opened fire on the decepticon party, forcing Target to dive behind the remains of the jamming tower for cover. Target barked at the two decepticons who had abandoned their explosive detail, "Get your sorry excuses of scrap back to planting the explosives!" He quickly turned his attention to the rest of the group, who all had taken various forms of cover, "Cover the demo team!" Duelwing, who was still crying, started to open fire with his duel machineguns at Optimus with an efficiency of a veteran soldier while the others seemed more interested in hiding as much of themselves as possible. Target stayed down in his cover for the time being, he wasn't going to use his hostage just yet. He needed to delay them as long as he could and the human was simply there if they couldn't hold off the autobots.
Quake grinned as he saw the human female running, she didn't seem to be looking for cover. "Stupid creatures." He chuckled to himself as he took aim. He shot the ground futher in front of her, in an attempt to force her to the ground so that he can approach her. failing that he would shoot at the ground next to her, calculating that the resulting shrapnel will disable her one way or another. After squeezing the trigger enough times and seeing a satisfactory amount of dust, he started to slowly stride towards her, ignoring the pain in his shoulder. He would have preferred to shoot her but he couldn't risk harming the device, however he will enjoy crushing her in his grip.
