'I’ve lost count of the number of cycles it's been since I decided to take up arms with the Autobots.

It almost seems like the days have begun to blend together. Day after day, the Decepticon factions remain relentless in their pursuit of raw energon; and as such, we remain ever-vigil in stopping them. I must confess that I’ve found it more than a little bit difficult to follow Optimus Prime’s orders and operate as a team. I’m starting to miss those cycles that I spent alone. I suppose that’s why I was more than willing to take the solo mission that Prime had meant for Bulkhead.

We had intercepted Decepticon communications indicating that a reserve of raw energon was being stored somewhere in the mountains near the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Fortunately for us – the same communication indicated that the reserve was minimally guarded. I suppose you could say that I did in fact act against Prime’s orders and went to The Flats alone.

Upon exiting the ground bridge vortex, I was a little taken back by brilliant white of the landscape. In some instances, I couldn’t tell where the ground stopped and the sky began.
It was beautiful.

But it seemed almost as though – as soon as the ground bridge had closed behind me – the shell fire came.

A platoon of Decepticon troopers must have seen me emerge from our ground bridge from the half a mile I was from their location. I suppose though – being covered in bright orange and black armor against the white landscape – I did sort of stand out.

Their shots were scattered and came far short of hitting me. But as they advanced, I could feel the debris from ricocheting shots spray the armor of my stabilizing servos.
I stood my ground.

Integrating some of the armor of my stabilizing servos with the rear back plating I pulled forward my rifle.
I took the shot.

The first Vehicon went down…hard.

Before the first shell could even hit the ground, I fired again. The second Vehicon’s head jolted back- hard – his stabilizers flying out from beneath him. I had hit him square between the optics.

I quickly reset the firing mechanism on the receiver and settled into my stance. Clouds of dust floated up across the Flats – cutting out the blue sky. He was almost on me.

I let the tension out of my shoulders – and uttered the words that Whiplash taught me.

“Ready. Aim. FIRE.”

Inspired by the song "Ready Aim Fire" by Imagine Dragons.

Thought it was about time I let you all see my Transformers Prime OC, Echo in action - featuring her signature weapon of choice.

I sincerely appreciate all your wonderful words for encouragement. You really are too kind. ^^

Thank you. ^^
I modeled it after a weapon I'd seen out of a weapons magazine that my cousin is subscribed to~
Of course - I made a few modifications to the design so that it was more original - and personal to Echo. ^_^
Come to think about it - OH MY GOSH! - I didn't realize it until now - but I meant to put text somewhere on the stock or floor plate that looked like an inscription carved into the metal - Cybertronian writing saying "Retribution". 
Oh well - maybe I'll have to fix that when I'm done with my on-going project~ ;]

Lol~ Well he is actually a she. Her name is Echo.
But that's quite alright. ^_^
Thank you so much for all your kind words. They are very appreciated.

MessyArtwok In reply to LuckyLexicon [2017-07-21 16:45:48 +0000 UTC]

Lol - it's alright. Really. No harm done.
Besides - Echo is kind of a tom-boy in the Cybertronian world anyway. SO...no offense is taken.

But anyway - like I said before. Thank you.

You were listening to the Imagine Dragons while you made this! 

Man, I should read the entire description before I start talking. xD

MessyArtwok In reply to LuxNiveus [2017-07-17 21:26:02 +0000 UTC]

Lol~ Yes. Yes I was~
Come to think of it - I'm STILL listening to Imagine Dragons. I absolutely LOVE their new album "Evolve". Their songs "Rise Up" and "I Don't Know Why" are SO GOOD!! XD

And it's okay. ^^ It happens~
Trust me, I've commented hundreds of times on things without reading the description. So - you're good. No worries. ^_^
