DarkStar instantly and instinctively raised his gattling gun and pointed it at the Autobots before him. A simple calculation from his combat programs told him what he already knew. He was no match for these Autobots. He had enough energon to make one teleport jump if he needed, but to do so might send him into stasis lock on the other side. His damage was already extensive enough to prevent flight. Since they asked a joking question like that, DarkStar assumed that these Autobots were aware that they had every advantage over him. As he took aim at the Autobots, he called back in a show of confidence, "I am not lost Autobot. I know where I am. Cybertron is just bigger in the two dimensions compared to the three."
 
The sudden movement into a fighting stance that DarkStar made was too much for his frame. A damaged nut in his left knee gave way. He lost all function in his knee that supported his weight. He fell over onto his knees barely catching himself with his outstretched left hand. He quickly tried to correct himself as he once again pointed his weapon at the Autobots. With a pained chuckle he spoke, "Well this is embarrassing."
