** Scorponok and Blackarachnia can't enter the obelisk without shooting their way inside, but they don't want to get hit with the blaster. Blackarachnia uses the fliers as a distraction, goading Terrorsaur into opening fire by claiming to shoot at them first. This gives Blackarachnia time to use her own weapon before the blaster can recharge.
