Nexus. Over there somewhere. Quiet time.

[random_xtras]

Blackout scratches at a nearly healed wield, then blinks at Scorponok where he's passed out cold in a crack in her armor before making a sound of content boredom and looking over at the sand pile that Hormah's vanished into. There's absolutely nothing going on, nothing to destroy anywhere near (or that she feels like destroying, anyway), but the big femme's happy to just sit and watch the nothing happen for now.

The sandpile spouts slightly and then beeps before falling silent, and she cocks an optic at it and snorts before leaning back and looking at the sky.

Something down there beeps with amusement and the sand shifts again, rising up this time and getting steadier. And engine revves very softly.

The zambonis back cautiously away, waiting for their prey to make an appearence. "Issa Mini-Con," one of them whispers and the others nod their front ends quietly.

[random_xtras]

Blackout contains her amusement as she thinks what they might say when they see what's really under that sand.

The sand, for its part, gives a quiet snigger and then falls silent again.

But is that the 'Jaws' theme playing somewhere?

[icemasta.livejournal.com]

The zamboni trio giggle for a moment before they begin spinning their wheels quickly, throwing up sand and digging down to whatever might be below.

It'll be a nightmare to clean out of their undercarriages, of course, but they don't really seem to care.

[random_xtras]

And then the sand explodes upward, hands grasping the little mechs as a sixteen foot tall femme of peculiar make straightens with a triumphant whistle and a whoop. "Got you!"

Blackout grumbles at being showered with sand, but is still busy doing nothing.

[icemasta.livejournal.com]

Eeeek!" The zambonis scramble back, with their one free member revving backwards until he's out of the sand. "Big Mini-Con," he says with awe. The other two struggle, flailing with their little missile launchers. "Leggo!"

[random_xtras]

The femme gives a saucy whistle. "Who's gonna...."

She stops and glances at her boss, then sets them down quickly. "Right. Put it back."

[icemasta.livejournal.com]

It may be a bit too late to put them back--the free zamboni has started knawing on her leg. We're still not sure how.

The other two, once released, also begin to attack. "Get the Mini-Con!"

[random_xtras]

"By t' t'underin'...." She trails off and looks to Blackout, who only chuckles. "Ye dirty lil' ##$%#$%#$!"

The guy on her leg is pulled away, then dropped into the hole that she just jumped out of, and then she goes for his brothers.

Gotta catch 'em all!

[icemasta.livejournal.com]

Three squeaks and attempts to clamber back out of the hole. With nothing but wheels, it's very difficult. Still, the attacks of his brethren do not waver.

And if Blackout's paying attention, something short and Decepticony's just rolled into the general area.

[random_xtras]

She is, and she watches this warily, comming Hormah to put the little things down and fall back. The rookie brushes another of them toward the hole and then obeys, standing at the larger femme's shoulder and watching the incomer with curious yellow optics.

[icemasta.livejournal.com]

The new arrival looks something like the vehicle on the right. (http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Energon_Snowcat_toy.jpg) His lights blink for a moment and he surveys the area boredly. "What the heck?"

The remaining zamboni immediately spits Hormah out and turns to the ATV with delight. "Da! Gotta Mini-Con!" Inside the hole the other two start scrambling around happily and trying to poke their heads up.

[random_xtras]

Blackout notes the commotion as she sits up straight and lazily pulls up a knee. "These yours?"

[icemasta.livejournal.com]

"Wish they weren't." The Decepticon rocks back and transforms into the robot seen on the left of the aforementioned picture. He cackles loudly at his own wit almost going into a yodel. "Who the heck are you guys?"

The zambonis, now confident that their da will capture the Mini-Con, start helping each other out of the pit.

[random_xtras]

Blackout looks at the little things and reserves judgment. After all, Scorponok didn't look that dangerous as a chibi, and he could still do considerable damage.

Then she straightens to her full 48 foot height and looks down at the newcomer as she absently shakes sand out of her armor. "I'm Blackout. This is Hormah. Who're you?"

Hormah looks a little funny guarding her boss's back... when she wouldn't even be able to touch it.

[icemasta.livejournal.com]

Another cackle, this one of the secret innuendo sort. "Hormah. Wow. You name it yourself?"

Snowcat himself isn't even twenty feet, although the protrusion of his cab and windshield is like unto a mecha Dolly Parton.

[random_xtras]

"The word means utter destruction," she says dryly, absently doing the looooooming thing.

[icemasta.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but it sounds weird." Snowcat stares back up at her through his facemask, still giggling ever so slightly. "Why's it so big?"

[random_xtras]

"Why shouldn't she be?" Blackout pretends not to notice as Hormah uses a very very tiny blast from one of her guns to try and flip one of the Zambonies into/back into the hole.

[icemasta.livejournal.com]

Again Snowcat giggles, this time at the antics of the giant Mini-Con and the ineffective but persistant zambonis who are doing their best to dodge.

"Cause they're supposed to be short. I mean, I guess you're a big mech and you need a big Mini-Con, but still..."

[random_xtras]

"She's a Decepticon." She watches the little mechs with her own amusement.

"Yup," says Hormah under her breath, then tilts her head to see around Blackout's leg, wishing that the older femme would let her go play with those things again.

[icemasta.livejournal.com]

"Decepticons don't go beep." Snowcat leans around to peer at her as the zambonis race behind his leg.

"Da! Da, found a Mini-Con!" "I know! Shut up about it already before I start feeding you to each other."

[random_xtras]

"Decepticons aren't 'Da' either. That's a human thing." She's still amused. The Nexus is so full of weirdness that she has a feeling she'll never be bored again unless she wants to be.

Hormah steps out from behind her superior to get a better look at the zambonis, and though it's clear that she has Minicon tech, it's equally clear that it's been hybridized with tech like that of the big black chopper bot.

[icemasta.livejournal.com]

Snowcat makes an irritated noise. "It's complicated, okay? They're the ones that came up with it."

Both he and the zambonis attempt to get a closer look at Hormah. "Doesn't look much like a Mini-Con either, unless you got some weird tech and pimped it out."

He means that in the 'pimp my ride' sense, not in the...other sense. Snowcat doesn't know that the other sense exists, despite his extensive knowlege of dirty humor.

[random_xtras]

"Let me guess," she says dryly. "LOL?"

Hormah nearly comments on that, but decides to hold her peace and smirk instead. Her face is a lot more humanoid than Blackout's, so she carries off the expression very well.
