It didn't matter, they didn't care. Many of the ground soldiers were located in the dropships, and those that didn't have enough room drove. The flyers guarded the dropships, protecting them from any bogies that would come across their path. Megatron was in a dropship near the front, along with Soundwave and the Combaticons. After a bit of flying, their dropship sped up. Their mission was to take out the main anti-air and heavy batteries on the Ark before the main force arrived. The march to the ship was silent. Hardly any Decepticons spoke, they knew what they were getting into. It would be a final battle, which would probably claim many lives on both sides. ---- On the Ark, the Autobots prepared for the upcoming battle. Building temporary fortifications around the Ark, setting up several Marauders around it. Ironhide was in a Station near the engines, he had command over a large group of Autobots. Bumblebee was inside the ship with Ratchet, they were in charge of dealing with the Wounded. Jazz, Cliffjumper, and Sideswipe were further out in the woods, acting as scouts. If they spotted any Decepticons, they would Alert the Ark. The Aerialbots were stationed above the Ark, along with most of the flyers. Their job was to disrupt the Decepticon flying force as much as possible, and provide air support when necessary. Warpath on the North side of the Ark (that's the long side), he was tasked with a similar goal to Ironhide. Optimus covered the opposite side from Warpath, as well as leader for the whole operation. Each position had a large amount of soldiers, as well as a few Titans. The Arks main cannon batteries were online, with gunners and technical teams ready to man them. In the Arks bridge, Perceptor was tasked with communication, and was to assist Teletraan. He had some assistants to help with this effort. They all knew the size of the battle they were probably going to get into, and many were unnerved, knowing that many would probably not come out of this one alive. --- The Dinobots got the word that a major battle was about to go down. They started headed towards the coordinates given to them by the communications team aboard the Ark. They weren't doing this to help Optimus, but to get a chance to fight Decepticons. They too, were silent. There was nothing to say.
