[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.

... Huh.
[Wheeljack actually looked surprised at that and looks at Rewind.]
Did you get all that?
[A nod was given.]
That looked closer to a three hundred percent boost than two-fifty. I guess I underestimated just how much energy was being regulated into the suit.
[This of course earned an exasperated sigh from Ratchet.]
Ken, are you alright in there? Do you need any assistance?

[He almost sounds as if he'd rather not be.]
And the suit... seems to be holding up. Now to step back...
[It takes five. But hey, didn't crash!]

Oh this is REALLY promising! If we can manage to stabilize the energy output and make the bursts of movement more manageable, we could be looking at some really good results!
Or a fast way to get injured.
Oh yee of little faith Ratchet. Okay Ken, I want you to move to the area we designated for the firing range. Do you think you've got the hang of movement?

[The genoace moves around in brief, increasingly short bursts, before its carefully hobbled along.]
If I can't get used to this... then I'll be in trouble.

Okay, the feed to the beam spray gun is working so lets test it out. Those things don't have much punch but if a little energon can make that Genoace move like that, we may be onto something here!

SCHWEEN
BOOOOOOM!
The shot not only annihilates multiple targets at once through sheer width, it also annihilates the gun itself. And with it, the genoace's arm.]

Now that's PROGRESS! Now if we can work on the part where it doesn't explode...
[Ratchet facepalms hard.]
