Day of the 'Jack

[tillallareone]

[With everything that's been happening and the continuously escalating threats, the Autobots are moving about as best as they could to assist. However while most Autobots are out of Sakihama, a few have moved over to Alhambra for the day... the reason?]



Okay! Energon Pump is installed, and the recalibration for the power feed should be alright...

[Wheeljack has decided to.... experiment. Specifically in the testing of adapting Energon for usage in Earth Based Machines to amplify their combat capability. Admittedly only a small amount was used for the test but it was regarded as enough. A trio of modified mooks (Genoace, Bushnell and a Destroid Tomahawk stand proudly for usage - admittedly with far more cabling across their bodies than they should normally have.]

... Ratchet, is all that really necessary?



Yes. Yes it is Wheeljack. We all know how your experiments go, better safe than sorry - especially since we have humans getting involved.

[Ratchet is standing close by with an emergency team on standby, looking nonplussed. Wheeljack looked rather sheepish despite a lack of visible facial expression.]



You never know though, this might be the next big breakthrough!

[Wheeljack sounded pretty pumped for the test runs.]

I even got Rewind over here to record everything for posterity.



[The Cassette-bot waved at Ratchet and let out a burst of odd, distinctly mechanical noise... was that their language? Either way, Ratchet sighs.]



Lets just get this over with. Pilot, you may go when ready.

[Well admittedly it isn't that slow anymore Asagi. Hell, its moving at a pace that Mobile Suits would call average. You seem to be getting some alarms from the joints though.]



Asagi, I'm picking up some stress readings from the legs on that thing. They're holding together good so far but they look like they're going to snap themselves to pieces with a little more pressure.

Looks like they just can't keep up with you and the Energon.

[cloningblues]

They should manage a slower pace at least? Or else I can't see how we can use this in combat, except as a turret...

Let's try attacking!

[As Asagi slows down, he approaches a target (read: a large empty crate) which he slams out of the way with an arm cannon. And then he opens fire at another target further away! What could go wrong?]

[tillallareone]

[Well Asagi...the arm cannon you struck the crate in question with swung so hard it nearly tore off after pulverizing its target - more joint errors. Then it actually flew off due to the recoil from firing its now overcharged beam cannon. The other target and the targets around it were destroyed. And possibly a few unessential things behind said targets.]



More joint faults... these things were definitely made to stick to places like glue. But putting some computer controlled limitations should do the trick if we can't take the time to strengthen them!

The weapons systems look good! Just some minor warping in the barrel and a few systems issues that are easing out, it just might be able to take three or four more shots!

[cloningblues]

Good? A weapon that can only fire a few times before it's completely destroyed is not good! Those things have only two cannons, you know.

...Do I want to know what will the missiles do?

[tillallareone]

I have.. no idea... Lets find out!



[Ratchet can only facepalm at all of this.]

Lets not...

[cloningblues]

Yeah, I think we're done. Call me again when you apply this to other machines. Sturdy ones, that won't fall apart just from running when you overclock them.

[Asagi opens the cockpit... But the arm, which he'd use to climb down to the ground floor, is no longer there.]

...Er.
