Energy Cells (One time Energy boost of 5 on a single target when used, may be used on yourself or another character)
Would activating the Energy Cell, or the Medkit and Combat Stims, count as the action for the turn, or would it be an 'incidental'?

I think I just pushed the wrong button on my iPad and nuked France. Hope no-one noticed.

Like this?
In that case could Bumblebee take a Pistol, a Gas Mask, an Energy Cell and a Commlink?
Characters can only carry/equip upto three items at a time, not including anything which has been purchased with Skill Points as a skill.
Does that mean Bumblebee could equip a set of Body Armour, as the Defence bonus she's getting at the moment is from her padded flight suit?
Could Bumblebee take a Pistol in addition to her Blasters?
I'm going for Ironside as support rather than Nightbeast. I'm presuming the robots will be heavily armoured and armed and Ironside's Sabotage ability. Plus everyone carrying weapons and wearing armour get a +4 boost to their stats just by having her nearby, thanks to her Upgrades.
@Genni Is there any gear in the transport we can swipe while we're in it? More weapons, armour or gear?
If Ironside can make copies of herself, does her Upgraded trait trigger again for her clones?

Swooping up into the transport plane Bea reached up and unhooked her headgear. "Well, that seemed to go as smoothly as ever," she said to the rest of the party, a playful grin spreading over her lips as she unfastened her jetpack and clipped it into the recharging station set into the hull. "Perhaps next time we should try stopping the mind-controlled hostages before they steal all the loot?"
With chilly glares suddenly pinned her to the wall Bea sighed heavily as she took a seat and pulled out some bubblegum to chew on. "Geez guys, lighten up. It's not like this is the first time something unexpected has happened on a mission to throw a spanner in the works, and I doubt it'll be the last." Turning her own gaze down at her datapad the aviatrix quickly scanned the next intel coming in from base, and suddenly her face flushed.
"Goddamit! I thought I'd already taken care of that guy," she hollered quickly pulling up information on the 'steam-powered robots' stalking through London. "If it's tech he's after, I'll give him a show of some real tech!" Quickly tapping her pad Bumblebee sent an urgent comms request through to Ironside, the agency's resident technological marvel, before moving over to the equipment rack and helping herself to some new gear.
Gear: Energy Cell (+5 Energy on use), AEGIS Pistol (+2 Attack), Commlink (+10% Teamwork XP), Gas Mask (Disorientated immunity)

As she stands on the edge of the hole, watching the captive drummer carefully, Bumblebee begins to tinker with her fuel intake valves. Suddenly she feels a surge of power, the new settings seem to have her jetpack working even more efficiently than before and with a sudden boost in power output the aviatrix quickly bleeds the excess into her blasters.
Aiming over at the twisted metal remains of the Hell's Bitches stage Bumblebee releases a blast and watches in delight as the electrical current leaps from one twisted speaker to another before finally grounding itself on a nearby television aerial. "That'll do," she mutters to herself as she swings the weapon back around to cover the 'musician' once more.

I'm still running out of Energy too quickly with the Stinger, but would it be better to upgrade my Energy Regen again, or spend the points cheapening the Sting Like A Bee attack instead?
Along with that I'll go with the extra chain attack with the Arc Lightning trait, and then dump the rest of my points into Attack to make sure the bolts really hit home.
Perhaps something like a 'Dimensional Instability' power which would temporarily switch Void's Attack and Defence and let him strike with a melee attack on the same turn? That would let you make a sudden, devastating attack against an opponent while being balanced by the weak Defence on the same turn?

Now just a way to make his melee attacks actually hurt things.

@Genni Bumblebee's Stingers were definitely her best feature in that last battle, they pretty much opened Thrash up for everyone to pummel on. How would you feel about giving her an Arc Lighting trait, which would upgrade the Sting Like A Bee ability so that it could either jump between multiple targets or affect the same target multiple times if there were no other enemies around?
Creating miniature black holes with his abilities would open up quite a few possibilities for his powers, and not just making it easier for him to clean his quarters back at base.
Edit: Cancel that, just realized how dumb that is.

Seeing the demon drummer fall, pinned beneath the helicopter wreckage with no chance of escaping quickly, Bumblebee quickly swooped down and landed on the rim of the hole. Drawing her blasters she took careful aim at the punk rocker before firing off a volley of charged bolts into her helpless prey. "This time stay down, bitch!" The aviatrix yelled over the roar of her electrically charged handguns.
