@Absolis@Hamstrong@LmpkioGrimlock growled once more in his alternate form before reverting back to his robot form. With the leg damaged as it was, it would no longer be wise to use in combat. It would take a bit of time and Energon for the wound to heal fully, something he would have to find later.
Activating his sword once more, he was about to move on the first target when the second one came from behind. Had he chosen to stay in his monstrous alternate form, he likely would have lost a leg. Luckily for him, his transformation made it so that he only lost the use of one of his arms. A pain, but it would allow him to stay in the fight, for now. With his sword arm no longer usable, he deactivated the weapon, and instead activated his shield. These pests were quickly becoming a problem he wasn't capable of dealing with alone.
---------------------
Having chosen to fly around the city for a bit, Starscream was quickly becoming familiar with the place. His cloak made him almost undetectable to the local pests flying about, which mean he had free range to wander about as he pleased. Of course, even if they could spot him, they'd have a hard time catching him. No one could outfly him!
As he rounded a corner, Starscream spotted a familiar sight. The massive brute, Grimlock. The giant appeared to be fighting two miniscule aliens, and seemed to be losing to them. Pathetic! He'd have thought Shockwave's favorite toy would have done better ... but then again, perhaps not. That savage wasn't the brightest of Cybertronians. However, where others saw failure, he saw opportunity!
Deactivating his cloak, his jet form once again became visible, and his engines would be the first thing anyone would notice of him. Unleashing a pair of rockets, they streaked towards the two aliens confronting the massive giant, and a few seconds later slammed into the street, creating a large explosion. He followed up that attack with a burst of rounds from his rapid-fire cannons. He didn't have time to do any more, as he had already bypassed the targets. He cleared the buildings and entered the large space around the destoyed palace. He made a quick scan of his surroundings before banking around to start another strafing run. Hopefully this would put the dimwitted brute in his debt! After all, it would only be fair to repay the one who, out of the good in his spark, saved his life.
