| abstract | - Transformers 2005 - Friday, September 17, 2004, 10:21 AM Travel spam Entrance to Autobot City The massive structure of Metroplex looms in front of you, a gigantic battlefortress and Earth headquarters of the Autobots. Large towers relay information from around the world and the large communications tower in the center keeps Metroplex in contact with the rest of the known universe. Security cameras and gun emplacements surrounding the entrance make sure that only those who are welcome enter. Scorch marks and small holes in the wall are reminders of the last battle here at Autobot City. To the north is the landing pad for flights to and from Earth. Contents: Sunstreaker Grimlock Rodimus Prime Foxfire Main Spacebridge Terminus Autobot Standard Troops #1933 PlayCo Toys Automatic Base Defenses Scattershot steps out of the spacebridge looking primed for action. "I heard the call and I answer. Where ya need us boss?" The technobot pulls out his rifle to check the clip status, his spare clips and general state of his weapons before heading into the unknown. "What's the score and what we up against?" Rodimus Prime comes down the ramp running. This ain't the time to be pussyfooting around. He shouts out, "Not a clue." He comes up towards the group and lowers his voice a notch or two, "We'll find out once we get there." He looks over at Foxfire and says, "Grab one of the hovercraft Foxfire, you'll pilot us there." He needs the practice from what Rodimus has heard. Sunstreaker steps down off the landing pad, having been checking his personal supply cabinet aboard one of the shuttles. "Yeah. Let's go stomp some skidplates...." A wry smile crosses the golden one's face as he checks his gun-arm to make sure it's primed and ready. Foxfire stops in his tracks, startled, and stares up at his leader, optics wide. "O-okay," he stammers, then winces, hoping he can pilot the thing better than he did during his little escape to Australia. With a glance toward Scattershot and Sunstreaker, the small fox makes his way to the landing pad. Foxfire leaves to the Landing Pad to the north. Foxfire has left. You move north to the Landing Pad... Landing Pad The smell of heated tarmac hits you first as you survey the landing and liftoff point for all flights to Cybertron. The wreckage of previous battles here are off to the back in a jumbled heap. To the southeast is the massive form of Autobot City itself, a bit battle-scarred, but still operational. Surrounding you on all other sides are forests of large conifer trees. The spaceport absolutely sparkles with a new shine - in fact, it's almost blinding in direct sunlight. Spots are a thing of the past, and each building has a brand new coat of paint. Even the *scrap* piles look like they've been cleaned off and straightened up. Contents: Foxfire Autobot Hovercraft (Sentinel) Autobot Hovercraft (Defender II) Junkion Flagship Autobot Shuttle Pirate Shuttle Autobot Sensor #6596 Shuttle Terminal (Autobot City) Sunstreaker enters from the Entrance to Autobot City to the south. Sunstreaker has arrived. Foxfire has left. Foxfire boards the Autobot Hovercraft (Defender II). Sunstreaker has left. Sunstreaker boards the Autobot Hovercraft (Defender II). Autobot Hovercraft (Defender II) < Current Location: Landing Pad > The interior of the hovercraft is cramped, yet spacious enough to accomodate a few Autobots at a time. At the front of the vehicle is a pair of seats which overlook the area through a wrap-around windshield. There are many control panels and monitors which survey the area and adapt the hovercraft's systems to the surroundings. In the middle of the hovercraft is a pair of benches lined against the wall, for the other passengers to sit if they choose. At the very rear is a cargo hold to store any necessary equipment or anything that is discovered. Contents: Sunstreaker Foxfire > Rodimus Prime enters from the Entrance to Autobot City to the south. > Rodimus Prime has arrived. Rodimus Prime has arrived. Rodimus Prime takes a seat in one of the seats, of course and waits for Foxfire to take the hovercraft out. Steady as she goes Foxfire. Sunstreaker plants himself in a seat as well. After his brother's little adventure, Sunstreaker could use some stress relief, and battle is the surest way for him to do so. Scattershot returns his rifle to subspace and grabs a seat not bothering to strap himself in. Damn straps always get in the way when you need to make a fast exit. Foxfire wanders over to the control panel, and stares at it for a moment, as if thinking on what to do. Finally, he hops into the pilot's seat, and then transforms, inserting himself into a slot on the panel. "Okay, guys, don't yell at me if I get us lost," he mutters, linking himself up to the hovercraft's computer...and they're off! Almost completely silent, the small saboteur Foxfire shifts into his tape mode. Travel spam > P'yongyang(#5447 RntN) P'yongyang is the bustling capital of North Korea, the last holdout on the United Nations. Fiercely independent, these people defend their sovereignity with intense determination. They do not guarantee safe passage through their country, and they do not abide by any United Nations regulations. Why have they not been assimilated? They are rumored to possess nuclear weapons, and have threatened to use them if their country is impinged upon. Travel at your own risk -- foreigners are often considered spies. > Contents: > KFC(#5541 e) > Dragon's Fire(#5493 Oe) Platinum Cassette would smirk if he could right now. "Now arriving in Korea, folks. Hope you had a wonderful flight, and thank you for flying on Foxfire Airlines..." Scattershot looks out the window to check if he can see anything interesting. "Anything we should worry about on radar ? I heard those koreans people are pretty touchy about their borders." Rodimus Prime chuckles and looks at the large plume of smoke on the horizon. "Looks like they're still here..." he says, "...we'll worry about their borders after the fact. We're here to stop the decepticons from..." As the hovercraft nears the chemical factory, Rodimus says, "...woh..." The place is swarming with creatures, all collecting the chemicals in the large vats about the factory. They turn towards the shuttle and nearly collectively growl, raising their weapons towards the Hovercraft. Platinum Cassette says, "...Oh crap." Sunstreaker hehs. "Might I suggest....smashing the crap out of them with this hovercraft?" The Golden One's grasp of military stratgy not withstanding he does have a point. "We flatten enough of em and disrupt the rest long enough for us to jump out and mop up." Platinum Cassette sounds like he's eager to do *something*, especially since noises are emerging from the slot, indicating that he's rattling about in his attempt to...uh, fidget, or something. "That sounds like a good idea," he utters, with a tone of anxiety. "Just gimme the word..." Scattershot shakes his head "Don't you guys think that's a tad 'barbaric'? Let me try my way." The technobot commander moves to the front of the hovercraft and keys the external speakers. Scattershot activates the speakers. > A voice speaks from the hovercraft: "GO AWAY!" Platinum Cassette mutters, "Oh, yeah, like they're really gonna listen to you, Scats..." He then ups the volume of his vocalizers. "Why not get Jazz an' Blaster to drop by? Their music can get rid of anything." Especially if the 'anything' in questions is small, platinum, and has big ears... Rodimus Prime grins towards Scattershot, "Good idea, I don't really think it'd be a good idea barreling at them when we...don't even know what they are." He gets up and grabs onto a handle on the side of the wall and says, "Go away? That's it? Primus!" As if to answer Scattershot, several of the neo-sharkticons open fire sending red and yellow beams of energy towards the hovercraft. "OH SHIT!" Yes, poor Foxy HAS been hanging around on Earth for too long... Needless to say, since he's still in control of the hovercraft, he makes various attempts to manuever around the shots, hoping he won't botch this up with a bad move. Scattershot shrugs at Rodimus "Works on Constructicons." He grabs his rifle and keys the speaker one last time before heading out the door. Scattershot activates the speakers. Rodimus Prime has left. > Rodimus Prime has arrived. > Following Rodimus Prime's orders with evident eagerness, the Sharkticon horde advances, slavering ferociously. > Neo-Sharkticon Horde nod slowly in dull acceptance as Rodimus Prime orders them to accept orders from Rodimus Prime. Scattershot keys the speakers. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee...Now you pieces of alien gutter trash...LET'S DANCE!" Rodimus Prime has arrived. Rodimus Prime sighs and says, "Foxfire, stop this thing...let's roll out!" He follows Scattershot out the door and even before Foxfire can stop, Rodimus leaps out into a roll before coming up to his knees, blaster exhausts going off every few seconds. Foxfire has arrived. Platinum Cassette sighs, but doesn't respond. He unlinks himself from the computer after landing it safely, and ejects, transforming and landing on all fours, then rushing out the door after his comrades. Scattershot pulls out his rifle and walks towards the horde of sharkticons. "Well you dipsticks had your warning." The shoulder-mounted turrets start tracking targets. The technobot flicks a switch on his rifle putting it in 3-round burst and sends a volley of acid pelets into the face of one of the first sharkticons. Neo-Sharkticon Horde :hisses as one and advances on the 'three' autobots. That's right, they are not a horde for nothing. Each one begins firing towards the autobots. One growls and knees before lifting a laser rifle and firing towards Scattershot. BTW, this is what we look like. While off in the distance, a large dark form drifts along in the sea, watching with keen red glowing optics. Neo-Sharkticon Horde refuses to accept Rodimus Prime's order to attack another faction member. Scattershot grabs one of the sharkticon by the 'head fin' and proceeds to punch his face in repeatedly while giving out a small sermon. "Do *punch* not *punch* ever *punch* come *punch* back *punch* to *punch* this *punch* planet *punch* it *punch* pisses *punch* me *punch* off *punch* to *punch* no *punch* end *punch* GO *punch* AWAY *punch* You stupid pieces of overrated tin-plated sushis." *punch**punch**punch**punch**punch* The sharkticon's body has a small spasm with each punch but at the end it just looks like a big metal rag doll. Scattershot gets hit by a laser rifle from not paying attention to the rest around him. The soldiers of Neo-Sharkticon Horde attack Scattershot under orders from Rodimus Prime. You evade Neo-Sharkticon Horde's Evisceration attack. Foxfire bolts from the hovercraft, smirking as Scattershot assaults the horde, and picks up his speed, extending his claws to the maximum as he does so. He also bares his fangs, intending to tear his targets in half, or perhaps in thirds. Whatever works. Rodimus Prime charges forward, blasters firing, which only bounces off their thick hides. Since he can't attack them himself. Rodimus gets tackled by one and they wrestle around on the ground. The neo-sharkticon growls, "You'll die here, autobot!" Which totally takes Rodimus off guard. He says, "You can talk?" the neo-sharkticon then bites down on Rodimus Prime's shoulder, hard. Foxfire strikes Neo-Sharkticon Horde with Fangs of DOOM. Neo-Sharkticon Horde responds to Foxfire's attack by a counter attack. Neo-Sharkticon Horde strikes Foxfire with Punch. Grimlock has arrived. Mako comes ashore from the North Pacific - North Asian Coast. Mako has arrived.
