Staring across at her opponent Ranma was amazed. Somehow she had joined with the jet to become a giant robot herself. Smiling darkly she had only one thought as she stared at the Robot that had tried to capture. Payback!
Starscream was never a patient Transformer; on top of that he had been riled up trying to get the new mini-con which was obviously special, only for this... this woman to steal his prize. Well there was no way he was about to let that slide.
Screaming in rage Starscream launched himself at the new comer fully intent on implanting the data straight to her hard drive just why you didn't steal from Starscream!
Ranma couldn't help but smirk at the scream of rage the robot had let out. He was even easier than Ryouga to get a rise from. Shifting her weight to allow her easier movement when he reached her Ranma found a problem.
Her body wasn't moving how she was used to, but then that was hardly surprising. She was a giant robot. At least she had experience in fighting with a new body before, while she knew she wouldn't lose it did look like it would be harder than she had thought.
Quickly moving she changed into a cross guard as the robot reached her. She could feel the strength of the blow, while it wasn't anything she could handle as she was now it would be a problem if she let him hit her too much.
Letting him come at her with another attack she lashed out from the cross guard at his closing fist, hitting it squarely in the wrist knocking it to she side. Not letting the opportunity go to waste she moved in delivering a hard follow up strike to his face.
She watched in amazement as he was blown back by the force of the blow. Was she really that strong now?
Starscream tried to clear his head. Damn that woman hit hard! He knew it had something to do with how her hand glowed just before she hit him, her block hadn't been anywhere near the fore of the punch. That must be it! The mini-con must allow its partner moments of super strength. The glow probably indicates when it's being used.
Now knowing what to look for he reached over his shoulder taking his wing blade. Super strength or not he would destroy this upstart.

Meanwhile at the Tendo dojo.
“Oh my!”
“What the hell?”
“...”
“Is... is that Ranma Nabiki?”
“I don't know. It sounds like he does though. But then who knows what goes on with giant robots.”
“Do you think that maybe his curse got changed? And that was why he said it was locked.”
“... I don't think so. I mean spring of drowned giant robot seems a bit...” Nabiki finished as the fight between the airplane robot and the 'Ranma' robot began. It was obvious even to her that the 'Ranma robot seemed to be out classes. Until it struck the other robot. “But then again it might be.”
***
Ranma cursed as she jumped back, this was bad. It seems as if hitting the robot had fixed whatever had been causing him to rage in the way he was. As it was now he was pushing her back. She could feel the sting of sword nicking her chest. Stepping on a piece of debris she stumbled momentarily losing her footing.
Starscream not missing out on a chance to finish the fight made a quick movement to prepare for finishing strike; it was obvious she wouldn't be able to recover from where she was. “Now you're mine!” He cried with glee. Finally he'd get that mini-con.
Seeing the blade descend upon her Ranma's arms shot up in reflex to at least try and lessen the damage as he braced for the worst.
The blow never came. Above her head her hands were holding a large silver blade in a basic Kasumi block. Staring in shock she had to wonder where the blade came from. The other robot was also obviously surprised as he jumped back warily.
She inspected the blade; it was enormous nearly at tall as she. The blade seemed as if it was designed for someone far larger than herself, yet if felt as if it belonged in her hands. The weight seemingly nothing as she held the blade. It felt as if it belonged in her hands.
Starscream couldn't believe it. How had she done that? It shouldn't have been possible. She should have fallen to his attack. Instead she summoned a blade from nowhere. Mentally screaming as he started to calm himself down. No matter, he would still crush her and take the mini-con. The mentally reassured him self as he renewed his assault.
Ranma found herself swiftly moving despite the immense size of the sword; it seemed that her body knew how to wield the blade even if she didn't. Today just kept on getting more and more surreal.
While she felt like she could go on indefinitely like this, she felt it would probably be a bad idea. After all this body might only work for a short amount of time or something.
Jumping back she knew she should end the match. Taking advantage of her longer reach she charged at the robot fully intent on slicing him in two. Moving as if sensing her intent the robot charged straight at her, moving in so she couldn't use the length of her blade.
And straight into her trap. Leaping straight into the air she easily cleared his head hight as he suddenly stopped, missing her jump and believing her to have vanished. Coming down she started swinging her blade, it was make or break.
Moments before she struck Starscream looked up. Acting on instincts he immediately jumped back, but due to the massive size of the blade it still tore a large gash into his chest as he cried out in agony.
Almost instantly his body seemed to disappear from view, as if it was pulled piecemeal to the side. That seemed to be a signal for the robots that had been trashing the airport as they all disappeared as well.
Slumping to the floor Ranma allowed herself to relax as she let go of her new blade. She watched as it disappeared almost immediately.
