The weird and horrible tentacle monster is deadly to organics, but it doesn't seem to thebe able to hurt Drift -- whatever it is must only affect organic matter. So when shit hits the fan and it comes down to it, there's no reason for Drift to stay inside Legion World. He doesn't need air to breathe, and the damn thing can't hurt him, and energy casting? That he can do -- or at least he's pretty sure that what he can do with his Great Sword is close enough. A Cybertronian's spark basically is energy, and channeling that through the Great Sword might just do the trick.

For once, he's using the sword strapped to his back -- the really big one -- and the blade is crackling with bright-white energy, and while the sword itself seems to do nothing, the spark energy clearly affects it. A twenty-foot-tall robot swinging a giant sword seems to have his bases covered, especially when the tentacles can't deal any serious damage to him, but he's never opposed to a little teamwork, and he'll be jumping in to help any fellow Legionnaires who look like they're in a bind.

It's getting to be an uphill battle, the situation only getting more dire, and it's wearing even on Drift -- the slicing and dicing isn't nearly as taxing as the constant drain on his spark. He doesn't let it slow him down, but there are so many of these kind of freaky tentacles and he could probably use a hand -- even an unwelcome one.
