Snarling, Tigris leaped in front of the spider and punched her away from the direction of the new Maximal. "You're not getting your eight legs on the new Maximal, spider!" she growled as she fired on the spider again.
Tigris had to keep the spider away from the new Maximal as best as she could. 'Come on, Cheetor, hurry here!' she thought as she kept her firing up.

OOC: Tigris, just watch the wordings in your posts, this last one may be considered somewhat as godmooding. I'll let it slip though, as everything else is fine 
"Slag!"
Airazor watched, helplessly, as Rattrap went into stasis mode. She couldn't help him here in the middle of nowhere. She really needed to get him back to base. But she also needed to get that new protoform. Double slag. And Black Arachnia wasn't giving up just yet. Tripple slag. Today just wasn't her day apparently. Firstly troubles at base, now this. Oh it just got better and better.
{Airazor to base. We need that backup now! One Maximal in stasis, another will be in the same position soon if someone doesn't come down here!} she practically barked into her connection with the Axalon. Did Rattrap just leave the base without assigning someone to monitor the goings on? She'd skin the rat if he did it. But she trusted him much more than that.
The next decision was the hardest in her life. But eventually, Airazor turned from robot to animal mode again, and flapped her wings to lift herself into the air. {Tigris, keep Arachnia occupied as long as you can; I'll follow the protoform.} That said, the falcon flew up and among the trees, in the direction of the new protoform. Maximal or Predacon, there was still no idea.

Frostbite kept running, scared and unsure of where she was or what had happened. All she knew was that she was being followed by one of the robots she'd seen fighting, and from whats he could gather, it was capable of packing some heavy firepower. She just kept going, ignoring the throb in her legs from moving too far, too fast. It would ebb. Somehow, she knew that it would ebb.
But that didn't solve the problem of not knowing where she was, or why she was being chased by a massive peregrine falcon. Logic dictated that she stop and ask for help, but she was just too scared. What if she was attacked and killed?
Best to keep running. She could handle that.

After being attacked by the tiger, Black Arachnia decided to change tactics. Coolly transforming as though the attack was nothing she surveyed her new opponent. She didn't like this new stand-off point at all. Not enough cover. she realized grimly. Nevertheless she opened fire with her arm mounted machine guns, hoping to drive the Maximal back until one of three things happened. 1)Back-up arrived. 2) She actually scored a lucky shot or 3)She could find an opening to escape. Option 3 was probably the most likely since during the Alien's attempt to destroy the planet the Maximals had proved how easy they were to escape from.
As she pressed her attack, she also noticed a shape pass overhead. Of course her (lack of) luck dictated that it was the falcon flying overhead. After the protoform no doubt. the spider thought sullenly. Her frustration level rose since there was no way to shoot the falcon down without keeping the tiger pinned down. Even Tarantulus would be welcome right about now! she thought lamenting her lack of help. When I make it back to base I'm shorting out the CR baths!
After a few moments, Black Arachnia became fed up with the whole situation. She stopped the machine gun fire against the tiger and instead pulled out her blaster. She fired three shots in quick succession and then launched her tow line towards the nearest tree. Once that was secure she pulled herself up and behind the tiger. Firing off on last shot, she sprinted off, sending another angry hail for back-up. This better not be caused by Energon interference!

OOC: Sorry
Tigris acknoledged Airzaor's order, but her acknoledgement came too late as she was shot by Black Arachnina's shot and she landed beside Rattrap. Injured and unable to transform, Tigris took the opportunity with the spider distracted and fired off her last shots before going into stasis lock.

Black Arachnia was too busy sprinting in pursuit of the protoform to see if the tiger had been hit. Which was probably a mistake on her part, especially since a well placed shot went right through her shoulder. The force of it knocked the spider to the ground. Pushing herself up with her good arm, she bit back a rather unladylike curse. (A habit unfortunately picked up from her comrades.)
She stood up carefully and started testing her wounded arm. Nothing. Not even a twitch. she realized angrily after a few clicks. She scowled at the realization that this would put her into a less than ideal position. If she continued in robot mode her arm wouldn't heal and would make her weaker in a fight. Not acceptable. If she reverted to beast mode she'd have to stay that way for a while or the repairs wouldn't start, still leaving her at a disadvantage. Again, not acceptable!
Of course the third choice is go back to base, report failure and get the punished for it. Not happening. With this in mind, she reverted to beast mode. If the chase went on for long enough she'd be able to have at least some movement in her arm when she needed to fight. The only thing she needed to find out now was whether the protoform was already a maximal or was confused enough to be swayed. I'll find out soon enough. she thought as she raced ahead in beast mode to regain lost ground.

((Jumping in, here. Rhinox is not physically present...consider him to have taken over monitor duty a little while after Airrazor and Rattrap left the Axalon.))

{Rhinox to Airrazor... Tracking all Maximal and Predacon signatures, situation noted. We're still having a few communications issues, but I'm trying to reach Cheetor to dispatch him to Sector 9. If I can't get through, I'll leave Sentinel on full alert and head out there myself.}
The last part of the message carries a hint of dismay... While the best suited to help Rattrap, Rhinox is also one of the slower Maximals and he knows it.

The lone sleek figure slid through the undergrowth, stalking a small mammal. The orange and green tinted spots that decorated the metal flesh bled together, melting with the shadows and ferns that curled around it. Large nostrils flared, breathing in the explosions of scents around him and the beast curled it's lips back in a unnatural grin to reveal ivory teeth. He was still getting used to his new bulkier form as he had shed his young baby cat form into a feral and much older looking design. Maybe now, he'd get the respect he deserved. Lowering his head, the creature lifted a paw to move forward and paused in deadly silence.
His comm link crackled and the rabbit snapped it's head up before dashing off in a blur of white fur. Cheetor groaned and sat up, perched regally on his hind legs. He dug his claws into the soft earth before him before activating his link. {Cheetor to base, go ahead.} The line hissed sharply as if mad and the Maximal curled his head, one ear twitching to distinguish the sounds that filtered through. {Base? Cheetor to base.} A voice crackled through and the feline arched his brow. {Rhinox?}

Apparently, the communication bugs were lingering. Back the Axalon, Rhinox cursed and slammed one large fist against the console in an attempt to apply some "percusive maintenance." The speakers buzzed in annoyance, the sound of Cheetor's voice coming in behind the static.
{Rhinox to Cheetor, I can hear you, but the signal is weak and you're breaking up. We have a situation in Sector 9... Downed pod, Predacon activity and one Maximal down. Airrazor and Rattrap are there, please assist.}
