Dr. Shawn P.O.V.

His damage was mostly internal. Several systems are completely down, and several more are damaged from other factors. His energon supply tubes are almost completely shot, and systems all across his body were damaged and failing. It was however, an extremely successful field test. In fact, I believe that with minor reinforcements to how secure the internal tubes are this model could be extremely successful. I lowered the lift I stood on and walked to Silas to make my report.
"Commander Silas, I have the damage report" I spoke, and waited for his allowance to continue.
"Report." He said coldly.
"His damage is near entirely internal, the only external damage is just a few dents and scrapes from the close range engagement he fought" as I finished my report I could swear that Silas cracked a smile... Seems he is pleased with this model.
"Any recommendations for improvements, Doctor?" He looked at me over his shoulder... Terrifying!
"Not many sir, but I believe reinforcements to the internal fuel tubes would be beneficial"
"Is their no way to deal with the other internal damage?"
"No sir... If there is, then the Cybertronians certainly don't have it"
"Excellent, then make something that protects against it" Silas said it so plainly as if it was that simple! Although I understand, he wants to have a one up on the cybertronians in our base body.

Arcee P.O.V.

I hadn't thought much about that potential human casualty in some time, they would've just been a construction worker that was caught in a bad place. I threw a hard right hook followed by a left straight at my friend and teamate, Bumblebee. He blocked the hook and knocked my straight off coarse before grabbing me by me 'wings' from my back and throwing me across the room. I caught myself and stood, breathing heavily.
We need to find out what happened! It was ripping apart my primary processing unit from the stress. I grabbed my helm with both servos and huffed in annoyance. Bee whirred at me in confusion as I grabbed my helm.
"No need to worry Bee, just thinking" I said trying to seem unbothered.
"We both know that that aint true 'Cee" Bumblee bleeped while slightly rolling his optics.
"You hang out with the humans too much, their habits are rubbing off" I joked while gesturing to him.
"Yeah yeah... But seriously you suck at lying. I mean its so obvious a blind scrapling would see it" Bumblee responded, coming back to his original question... Annoyingly persistant was fortunately and unfortunately one of his main characteristics.
"Just thinking Bee, thats. It." I said flatly while getting back into a combat stance.
"I've seen 'Cee thinking, and that aint it" Bee thought but got into a defensive stance.

The Nemesis

Starscream P.O.V.

I was walking down the halls of the Nemesis when a Vehicon turned the corner running, strange so I stopped him.
"Halt soldier, why are you running?"
"Apologies commander starscream but I must turn in this urgent report" he hurridly said before continueing his run past me. "Very strange" I muttered as I continued walking towards the training room. It was mostly used by the captains, but occasionally you can find a Vehicon that stands out in it. As I walked through the doors I saw a vehicon slam into the ground, standing above him was knockout.
"Don't get your paint too scratched Vehicon" he said to the Vehicon before backing away.
"Is there no vehicon here who would fight me!?" He shouted while looking at the vehicons around the room, then metallic footsteps cane from the side. A unique looking vehicon, he was a different kind of flyer. Many blades rested on his back and his limbs seemed a bit more gangly than others.
"I'll fight you captain Knockout" he said, his voice was quite deep. His visor seemed to shimmer a slightly more crimson color than the others.
"Well then approach" Knockout half chuckled as he turned completely to the vehicon.
The vehicon charged forward and swung a powerful right hook at Knickout but he dodged to the left, but the vehicon spun and went for an elbow with their left forcing Knockout to step back in order to dodge. Now I realized that this vehicon also stood taller than the others. Knockout punched him in the chest plate but the vehicon was unfazed and lifted both arms above his head before swinging downward with lots of power. Knockout avoided it and kicked the vehicon in his knee joint before punching him between his reinforced plates. The large vehicon stumbled but didn't fall, he turned and managed to strike Knockout in the side of his helm, likely causing some minor damage to his nueral processor. Knockout shook it off and avoided the follow up straight, then he struck the vehicon at its elbow joint severing some connectors before knicking him down with a powerful punch to the face.
"That was a rather excuting fight Vehicon" Knockout said as he straightened himself. "Alright some of you bring him to the medbay!" He ordered to the vehicons as he left. This helicopter vehicon is very interesting, I believe there are only a handful on the Nemesis. Same with the tank vehicons and truck vehicons.
