My vote is for Bulk. Or the mysterious assassin guy. He seemed like a swell fellow.MTL

I'm sure Tahuswipe doesn't mind, he's had more screen time and lines than Sideswipe did in ROTF and DOTM combined. And it would be spoiling to say who dies, but I will tell you that it will be similar to the movie.Blasphemy? THIS IS SPARTA! So much for Deceptikuta cold calculating intelligence. Doing pretty well for having a broken back... And then Serv-Pro showed up and made it...LIKE IT NEVER EVEN HAPPENED.Good chappy yet again.-MTI never said Deceptikuta were intelligent! Maybe 1 in 20n are.12345's training and such has prepared him for broken backs. Either that or he's in shock, or I'm a lazy writer!Considering I am lacking in the Serv-Pro department... I also notice the poeticness (kinda) of the setting sun line; when I wrote it, I meant it was evening on Metru-Nui, but you could assume that the end of Metru-Nui is near too.And I can't believe, I forgot the "class dismissed" line! Don't worry, it's there now, right after Hydraxhide kills Crowdax.And third page? Not bad, not bad..Next chapter will probably be Friday. I've got homework and such today to do.MTL

Close Hubert, very close. It is the highway scene, and your death predictions... well, named charters die in this one! I think of it as a more of an open ended question. Arm wrestling is serious buisness.!!!!TRANSONICLE 3: THE ULTIMATE DOOMCHAPTER 20ROAD RAGEA FREEWAY, TA-METRU, HEADDING TO PEST HEADQUARTERSPohatubee, Tahuswipe, Jodkra, Mataus and Norik Prime all drove towards PEST headquarters, dodging traffic and such. Jaller, 12345 and Hickory rode inside Pohatubee, while Johnson remainded hidden in plain sight on Jodkra's car roof, in his missile launcher mode.They were monitored from PEST headquarters, where Turaga Nokama, Hewkii, the New Guy, Galcee, Vakama Maximus and Crashinator all watched a video screen showing the convoy's progress. Hydraxhide was off interrogating Blitztran in another room, and the rest of the Autotoabots were fighting Deceptikuta. Wheeldax and Braindox were in the room too, providing nothing at all."If they can make it unstopped, how long should it take them to get here?" the New Guy asked.Vakama Maximus did a calculation in his head. "Less than half an hour. But I'm expecting something to go terribly wrong sooner or later." he said."Oi, we got three black suburbans followin' mysteriously." A Matoran said, looking at a screen."What's so mysterious about them?" Hewkii asked."Them's be in the wrong lane." the Matoran said."Warn Pohatubee! Vakama Maximus, do you know anything about them?" Hewkii said."Well, it's a bit much to assume I know every Metrutronian who shows up, now isn't it? That's like me picking up a Matoran off the street and asking you what his name is and where he lives." Vakama Maximus said."Well, that's unhelpful." Hewkii said, turning back to the screen.Inside Pohatubee, Hickory noticed the Suburbans. "Dere are drei cars following us in de other lane!" he said."Dry? What?" Jaller asked."It's three." 12345 said."Oh. You notice them Pohatubee?" Jaller asked Pohatubee."Already notified the others." Pohatubee answered."There is a chance that they're just bad Matoran drivers." Mataus said on the comm channel.Looking back, the lead vehicle's hood spilt, rolled under, and arms came out, throwing the vehicle up, where legs came out, then a head with teeth and spikes."I don't think it's a very good chance." Jodkra said. Johnson spun around on his hood, and was about to fire when Pohatubee intervened."Whoa, think about what's going to happen if you miss." Pohatubee said."I won't." Johnson said. He fired a missile, and the black Deceptikuta dodged it."I was kidding, sheesh." Johnson said.The Deceptikuta, Crowdax, kept running, doing his best to look terrifying, and sprinting epically. A car that drove too close was thrown into the air, and he did his best to step on the vehicles that didn't know to drive out of the way."Crowdax! Stop wasting time!" Crankdok said, himself transmocing, rolling, and going onto the same side of the road as the Autotoabot convoy."Why can't you just let me have some fun once in awhile?" Crowdax said, getting onto the same side that his Dreadinator subordinate was on."JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!" Hatchback said, speeding ahead, then transmocing into his four legged robot mode, running at an amazing speed and catching up to the Autotoabots. Crankdok and Crowdax sprinted, Crankdok's dread-locks flowing frighteningly in the wind."Well, ain't this just a nice little diddy." Tahuswipe said, pulling behind Norik. "You keep following Mataus, we'll handle them."Pohatubee spun around, weapons coming out of his form, then firing at Hatchback."Hey, 'Bee, maybe not while we're in the car!" Jaller said, his eye's wide."Eh, good point." Pohatubee said, turning around and speeding up."Dreadinators, KILL THEM!" Crowdax said, running ahead, and actually running fast enough that he began to catch up with the Autotoabots. Up ahead was a truck carrying pipes, which he eyed. Turning an arm into a gun (which you would think he would use to shoot the Autotoabots with) he shot a road sign, sending it down and making a makeshift ramp, then shot the truck, making it fall over and send piping, and bits of truck, flying. Tahuswipe and Jodkra past the wreckage, making it past just in time, but Pohatubee was too late."Hang on!" He said, just as Crowdax and Crankdok transmoced and followed right behind him."What-" 12345 began to say as Pohatubee took the jump and transmoced, sending the three Matoran flying. Knocking pieces of piping out of the air around them, just as Crowdax and Crankdok took the jump and went over them. Pohatubee grabbed for the Matoran, then transmoced again, the two Dreadinators overshooting him and continuing on.Pohatubee dodged Hatchback as the Deceptikuta dog-thing went past, then stopped."Hey, we're missing a Matoran, aren't we?" Pohatubee said. Hickory and Jaller looked around in the car."Mein Gott, I'm zo fired!" Hickory said. Pohatubee let Hickory and Jaller out to go see him. "Matoran down, Matoran down!" Pohatubee said.As this was happening, Hatchback got close to an Autotoabot; Tahuswipe."I'M GONNA KEEL YOU!" Hatchback said, jumping for Tahuswipe."Oohh no!" Tahuswipe said, transmocing, and in glorious slow-motion, turned, and with his swords, sliced open the underside of Hatchback, then went out from under him and shot at him a few times, before transmocing and driving off. Jodkra pulled infront of the slowed down Deceptikuta, and Johnson fired a rocket from his launched and blew apart Hatchback's head, killing the Deceptikuta. Hatchback's broken body collapsed, gears and springs flying out from the explosion."Oohhooh, did ya see that Tahuswi-" Johnson started to say, then noticed Tahuswipe was already far ahead. "Nevermin- JODKRA STOP!" Johnson said."What?" Jodkra said, stopping."One of Pohatubee's Matoran is hurt!" Johnson said."He's got it, we gotta deal with the Deceptikuta." Jodkra said."They've gotten too far ahead for us. Let's help Pohatubee." Johnson said."They're only too far ahead because you made me stop." Jodkra said, turning around and driving to Pohatubee. Pohatubee, Jaller and Hickory were standing around 12345, who lay on his back."12345, are you alright?" Jaller asked him."My back, I think I broke it. Oooooooh, why couldn't you catch me?" 12345 said to Pohatubee."Karma or something I guess." Pohatubee answered."This is just great, just great! Jodkra? Johnson? Shouldn't you be helping Tahuswipe?" Jaller said, seeing Jodkra and Johnson walk up."Eh, I'm sure he'll be fine." Jodkra said.Tahuswipe, meanwhile, drove as fast he could (which was pretty fast) to PEST headquarters, atemptting to catch up with Norik Prime and Mataus. Behind him, Crowdax and Crankdok drove as fast as they could, and were less than a hundred feet behind him.Suddenly, he saw a blue vehicle pull out a little bit infront of him. It transmoced into Vakama Maximus, who held his two pistols out at the Dreadinators."I got them Tahuswipe!" Vakama Maximus said, firing his pistols on the far sides of the Dreadinators, making them drive closer together."Owe you one then!" Tahuswipe said, driving past. As he drove past Vakama Maximus, a black truck drove the opposite direction.As Crowdax and Crankdok were forced to drive closer together, they too saw the black truck."Wonder if it's an Autotoabot?" Crankdok said."Bet not!" Crowdax responded, and the two planned on hitting the truck. The truck sped up, and hit them instead, sending all three flying, although Hydraxhide, the truck, had a controlled flight by choice; Crowdax and Crankdok, not so much. The two Deceptikuta transmoced painfully in the air, landing on the ground with a thud, Crowdax landing on top of a car.Hydraxhide finished transmocing and turned around as the Dreadinators got to their feet surprisingly quickly."Congratulations, you just got two free tickets," said Hydraxhide, showing his cannon and gun at the Deceptikuta, "to the gun show!""Appears we got a little Mexican stand off here." Vakama Maximus said, his own two pistols pointed at Crankdok and Crowdax."Put your weapons down now, Decepti-punks, or I'll have to teach you a thing or two." Hydraxhide said."Well, then I guess we're going to learn!" Crowdax said, which did not sound nearly as cool or witty as he thought it did.Crankdok, being the smarter of the two, acted first, launching spear bombs from his back at Hydraxhide and Tahuswipe. One hit Hydraxhide in chest, who took it like man, er, bot. At the same time Crowdax turned his arms into swords and jumped at Hydraxhide, but Hdyraxhide grabebd him by the neck and threw him somewhere behind him.Vakama Maximus shot at Crankdok, having dodged Crankdok's bombs, then Crankdok swiped at him, and then Hdyraxhide punched Crankdok in the back of the head, sending the Deceptikuta onto his knees, then picked him up and shot him point blank, sending the Deceptikuta flying, pieces of chest armour falling off.Crowdax launched one of his swords at Hdyraxhide, who dodged it, and Vakama Maximus mearly side stepped it. Crowdax ran at Hdyraxhide again, and Hdyraxhide took out the spear bomb stuck in his chest, stabbed it into Crowdax, and slammed Crowdax to the ground. Hydraxhide then kicked him back, and when Crowdax tried to stand up, Hydraxhide shot the bomb, exploding it and Crowdax. "Class dismissed." Hydraxhide said, putting his gun on his back. Norik Prime and Mataus appeared, followed by Tahuswipe and some PEST soldiers."Knew you guys had it." Tahuswipe said."Hydraxhide, this one is still alive!" Vakama Maximus said. Several PEST soldiers ran up, among them Hewkii, but it was unnessacary since Hydraxhide was there first."We have to get Norik to safety, I'm sure the Deceptikuta already know about this." Hewkii said."You can consider it done, Hewkii, but I'm going to have a word with this Deceptikuta here." Hydraxhide said, sitting Crankdok up.Crankdok was in bad shape. Most of his chest was a gaping wounding, wires poking out and blue energy dripping. One of his eyes was looking in the wrong direction, and a few of his dreadlocks were in a pile around him."Alright Deceptikuta, how'd you know where to find us? I'm pretty sure it wasn't just chance." Hydraxhide said, his cannon put into Crankdok's chest as an incentive to speak.Coughing up a piece up metal, Crankdok looked Hydraxhide right in the eye. "I-achk- I see very well now, very much what we were meant to do." Crankdok said."And what might that be, Deceptikuta?" Hdyraxhide said. Behind them, Norik Prime transmoced into his robot mode, still standing with Mataus. Tahuswipe and Vakama Maximus watched over Hydraxhide's shoulders."Matanui is out figh-arrcch-fighting Deceptikuta, with most of the Autotoabots, isn't he?" Crankdok asked."He is. Now what about it?" Hydraxhide said.Crankdok smiled. "The point? The point is that you're dead." he said."I think you are." Hydraxhide said, firing his cannon, and shooting up through Crankdok's chest, sending out his spark and head in pieces.As Hydraxhide stood up, Hewkii surveyed what Hydraxhide just did. "Well, that was a bit violent, wasn't it?" Hewkii asked. Hydraxhide shrugged.Suddenly, the ground shook a little. The Autotoabots turned, and the Drill Dragon burst forth, roaring. The Autotoabots moved back, and Shockvak appeared from the mess of saws."DECEPTIKUTA!" Mataus yelled, firing at Shockvak. Each shot bounced off harmlessly. Shockvak readied his cannon and fired, hitting Mataus square in the chest, ripping through him and sending his body back into a building."NOOO!" Hydraxhide yelled, firing back at Shockvak. Shockvak sent some missiles out of cannon, and the Autotoabots scrambled for cover.Shockvak stepped off of the Drill Dragon and looked to Norik. "Tell me Norik Prime, must I pretend to capture you, or can we just move along with this?" Shockvak asked.Norik shook his head. "We can just proceed with it. No need to waste time." Norik answered.Hydraxhide was confused. "Norik! What is this? He just killed Mataus!" Hydraxhide said.Norik looked to Hydraxhide and the Autotoabots. "You see my Metrutronian brothers, you were never going to win the war. And when Matanui launched the AllShiny, he doomed Metrutron. So this planet must pay to save Metrutron. Metrutron must survive," Norik said, taking out his cosmic rust gun "No matter the cost!" and with that he fired on the Autotoabots, who scattered. One shot hit a PEST humvee, and it turned to rust in seconds.Hydraxhide rolled, and fired back, intent on killing the traitor himself. Norik fired on Hydraxhide, who dodged, but was a second too late, and was hit in the leg. Grunting, he fell, his leg turning a bad colour of red. Taking his cannon, he shot the leg off at the knee, stopping the spread of rust. He held his gun up to continue firing, but Norik and Shockvak (with the Drill Dragon's help) had just put a hole into PEST headquarters, and they were walking in."Maximus! Alert Matanui!" Hydraxhide told Vakama Maximus. Hewkii hurriedly try to contact everyone inside the building, warning them to get out.Inside, surprised PEST soldiers reached for their weapons, but Shockvak and Norik's barrage stopped resistance. Taking out his double sided sword, Norik swunged, ripping threw helicopters and PEST vehicles. Out another door, Galcee and Crashinator got who they could out of the building."Where in here are the pillars?" Shockvak asked Norik, who had taken his cannon again and was shooting at any Matoran he could see."You need only follow me." Norik responded, "Although there is a stop we should make first."Going through a wall, they found Blitztran, laughing maniaclly. "Ooooh! I knew zat my vishes vould come true! A knight in shining armour und his cyclopes steed! AHAHAHAH!" Blitztran laughed.Freeing Blitztran (who sent a volley or two at the Matoran and building) they continued for the pillars. Nokama, dodging a piece of flaming rubble, yelled at Norik."Norik Prime! What are you doing? I order you to stop!" She yelled.Norik turned and pointed his rust gun at her "You do not order me, a PRIME around insect!" he yelled, and fired, missing her by a hair.Entering a new room (all the while breaking things) they found a large vault, protected by automated turrets, which lasted for all of 4 seconds. Destroying the door, they found the five controls pillars."You do have the Sun Matrix, don't you?" Shockvak asked him.Showing it off for effect, he pulled it out "Metrutron shall be saved." Norik said. Handing the pillars to Blitztran (who was giggiling the entire time) Shockvak ordered the Drill Dragon to them, and it burst through a wall, it's cockpit opening, and Norik, Shockvak, Blitztran and the pillars entered it.As the Drill Dragon left, leaving most of PEST headquarters burnt and smoking, the sun began to set on Metru-Nui.END OF CHAPTERFun Commentary: Duh duh duh!! So you were half right Hubert, Mataus did die, although Hydraxhide will live. And Norik's character will reveal him to be an insane knight templar sort of thing. And I also thought Crankdok's death was a bit violent, but it was basically movie Soundwave's death, made awesomer.MTL

It's a well known fact that the only good instructor of any sort is rude, mean and vicious.It helps if he knows what he's talking about, but that's only secondary...I'm curious to see what you can do with this. I believe in you iBrony!MTL

A startling realization we must all come to face sooner or later. Well, you could've noticed you're playing infront of a mirror, Axxon. Of course, that's not always something you point out to your opponent. GeniusAnd I would've quoted the Brutaka vs. Progenthius fight, but there's too much to succsesfully quote.I don't know how they're gonna get the fire out, but we can always rely on the cunning and competence of the sets to solve every problem!MTL

Perhaps he thought he was doing the right thing for himself? I don't really know, but think of ants; they're feeding themselves and their colony by taking your food of the picnic table, but you don't like it. So what do you do? Squish 'em.I'm not sure where the analogy is in there, but it's nearby..MTL

Ooooohhh! We're getting close now! And I'm paying more atenttion when I post this one..TRANSONICLE 3: THE ULTIMATE DOOMCHAPTER 19A DEGREE BELOW BOILING POINTTHE FIELD WHERE OMEGA KAITA AND THE iBROW ARENorik Prime watched the Metru-Nui skyline, his optics continually returning to the Coliseum. He turned to Matanui, who was greeting Tahuswipe, Mataus, Jodkra and Johnson."Norik, they will stay with you. I am returning to PEST headquarters, as it appears the Wreckinators had another run in with Shockvak." Matanui said."Well, you would best make sure that they're alright then. I will stay here." Norik said. Matanui nodded, then transmoced and drove off.The remaining Autotoabots all stood in a bit of an awkward circle. "Soooo." Johnson said, looking up at the Metrutronians."Tell me, would you all follow Matanui Prime to the death?" Norik asked, a bit suddenly. The Autotoabots were a bit taken back by the question, but they knew their answers."Of course!" Tahuswipe said. The others all agreed with him."I've never served under a better Autotoabot!" Mataus said."It's an honour working with him." Johnson said."Good, good. You are loyal, as any good Autotoabot must be. And you've never quesitoned his leadership?" Norik said."I haven't." Mataus answered quickly."The only ones who ever really do are Tahkan and the Wreckinators. The Wreckinators mostly because they want to go off and shoot things, and Tahkan doesn't like Matoran as much as the rest of us." Jodkra said."Tahkan usually pesters Dakama more than anything." Mataus said."Dakama is all uptight and all, I think that's why." Tahuswipe said."Interesting." Norik said "If you had to guess, who would you say was the most powerful, or combat ready, among the Autotoabots here on this planet?"Now you might be going "Don't the Autotoabots realize what he's doing?" But you must remember, they don't know the same things you know regarding Norik. They also think he's a bit senile, so..."Easy. Me!" Tahuswipe said, showing his swords and doing a spin."You're just full of yourself! I'd say either the Wreckinators or Hydraxhide." Jodkra said."I think Omega Kaita would be." Johnson said."What about Tahkan, or Matanui?" Mataus asked.Leaving the Autotoabots to their discussion (and keeping an ear audio receptor open) Norik looked back to the Coliseum, where nearby it would be the Tohu Memorial.THE TOHU MEMORIALFlufskiron and Shockvak looked at the Dreadinators. Their foray against the Wreckinators had been weak, pathetic. A complete lack of skill on their part. They had been out matched against the Wreckinators, of course, but still. Sleedat's nanobot things had just finished repairing them, so they were good as new. Sleedat herself was just walking away, talking to Viewdok, the only Deceptikuta she thought was even remotely competent. Not very hard, considering Viewdok's only job was to film things. It helped since his alt mode was a large camera."Well, your next job will be considerably easier." Flufskiron said, looking at Crowdax, Crankdok and Hatchback. "No real combat should be invovled. You just have to deal with a few no-name Autotoabots, then ferry Norik back to the Matoran headquarters, get in there, get the pillars and free Blitztran, then run for it. No assembly required." "What about Matanui and them? Won't they be there?" Crowdax asked."Do not worry about them, we have a distraction planned." Shockvak said, looking to Makutatron, who had a new shot gun in hand. Behind him was Panrashot, Daedulus, Enderth, Barritax and good ol' array of drones."You're sending Makutatron out as a distraction? That's a bit... underwhelming, isn't it?" Hatchback asked."His use to the Deceptikuta cause is running low. You will see soon enough." Flufskiron said "Go now, heralds of the Deceptikuta, go forth and begin the reign of Emperor Flufskiron, Grand Leader of the New Deceptikuta Empire!"The Dreadinators looked at him oddly. "That's... an interesting title you got there." Crankdok said."I SAID GO!" Flufskiron yelled at them. They went off. Flufskiron looked back to Shockvak. "I truly do hate this planet, although it will have sufficent energy for Metrutron, or more of our ships atleast." "Oh, whatever you say. It is, after all, logical that our victory is confirmed." Shockvak said, walking to his Drill Dragon, which was resting nearby."I can honestly never tell if that's his sarcasm or what." Flufskiron said."Oh, Makutatron could always tell when I was being sarcastic." Nihiscream said, walking up to Flufskiron."Because when you go out of your way to sound like you're up to something, it's not very hard, now is it, Nihiscream?" Flufskiron told Nihiscream."Naturally." Nihiscream said, scowling.NEAR PEST HEADQUARTERSPohatubee swiftly drove down the road, heading to PEST HQ. Inside of him, Jaller, 12345, Hickory, Wipeout, Wheeldax and Braindox all sat, a little snug, especially Hickory, who was stuffed between the mini Autotoabots and Wipeout's spiky shoulder."Well, I think after we warn the Autotoabots and save the world, we should go for some McNocturn's. My treat!" 12345 said."Hahli's favourite resturant was McNocturn's." Jaller said, all depressed and such."I think it was Burger Turaga's actually. I drove her there several times. She spilt a drink on my dashboard." Pohatubee said."Zo dat's vere de stain ist from." Hickory mused."OOoooh! I don't know anything about her! I didn't know she had a job, I didn't know what her favourite resturant is, and I don't even know her last name!" Jaller cried."Stop whining kid! There's more fish in the sea!" 12345 said."If you are refering to Matoran as fish, then technically there's only one type of fish in the sea, and-" Wipeout started to say."Hey tall, dark and silver, shut up! Yer missin' the point!" Wheeldax said to Wipeout."Watch yourself, Deceptikuta run-away. I've blown up bigger 'Kuta than Pohatubee here!" Wipeout said. Wheeldax raised a fist at Wipeout. Hickory sat uncomfortabely between them, fearing for his life."The world first, I guess." Jaller said, staring at passing cars.12345 revealed he had a softer side. "Hey, kid, I loved a Ga-Matoran once. Then she ripped my heart out." he said, pointing to a faded scar on his chest "So I focused my priorities in Sector Six, I turned out fine!" Jaller looked at him. 12345 was a Po-Matoran who almost always wore Sun glasses, a watch on each wrist and had a very smooth mask. "Look, no offence here 12345, but-" Jaller started to say."It's alright kiddo. I bet I could even handle seeing her again. The past is the past, and it's not gonna change." 12345 said.Jaller looked back to Pohatubee. "Can you play some music, 'Bee?" Jaller asked Pohatubee."I'll see what I can find..." Pohatubee said. There was the sound of radio stations being changed. <Baby come back! Any kind of fool could see there was something in every thing about you! Baby come back! You can blame it all on me! I was wrong and I just can't live without you!>"Really? THAT was what was playing?" Jaller asked."Stroke of luck, huh?" Pohatubee said. <All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado. Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear. But as the sun goes down I get that empty feeling again.>"I don't appreciate it." Jaller said."It was either that or the Lumberjack song..." Pohatubee said, turning it off."I vould have liked the Lumberjack zong." Hickory said."And ain't that nice." Pohatubee responded. They drove for a minutes more, in silence, until PEST HQ came into view.Pulling up into a ramp, a gate came up, and an armed Matoran walked forward, holding a gun."Any reason you folks is pullin' up into a styrofoam peanut packagin' centre?" The Matoran asked."Buddy, are you trying to tell me this is a styrofoam peanut packaging centre guarded by Matoran with SG's?" 12345 asked, refering to the gun in the Matoran's hand."Well, them peanuts fetch a pretty widget on the black market, y'see? We don't want any ol' bum walkin' and grabbin' a few an' buyin' 'imself a nice 'at wif it, y'know?" The Matoran said."Nein, I don't zink i do." Hickory said."Look, buddy, are you trying to tell me that this isn't PEST headquarters?" 12345 asked."Oi, you callin' me a pest?" The Matoran said.Before 12345 could answer, Wheeldax moved up, and gave the Matoran a piece of his mind. "Lookee here bozo! We're comin' up to save yer maggot infested hunk of rock out of the kindess of our own an' the best you can do is tell us that this is some kinda styrofoam peanut packagin' centre?" Wheeldax said.The Matoran stared at Wheeldax."DECEPTIKUTA!" the Matoran yelled. Several more PEST soldiers ran out, one of which included the New Guy."Stand down it's Po-" The New Guy started to say, who had recognized Pohatubee and Jaller. However, Pohatubee and Wipeout stood in robot their robots forms, which did enough to stop the PEST soldiers. 12345, Jaller, Hickory, Wheeldax and Braindox all were thrown out by Pohatubee's transformation, so they weren't chillified."Did you seriously not recognize me? C'mon!" Pohatubee told them. "And you didn't notice me in the back?" Wipeout said, but then, under his breath "What am I saying, of course they didn't."The New Guy walked up and helped Jaller up. "I'm sorry about them. This guy is the actual one whose new here." he said."At least we didn't drive up in Hdyraxhide. Then we might've had a problem." Jaller said, dusting himself off."Roight, sorry about that." The Matoran who had stopped them said. Wheeldax went over and kicked him in the shin."And you stay out!" Wheeldax said. Braindox patted Wheeldax on the shoulder. "Heh, good one.""If I still had my Sector Six badge, we wouldn't have hid this problem." 12345 complained."So Jaller, what brings you to PEST? And where's Blue Flame, wasn't he with you guys?" The New Guy asked."Pohatubee explained that we needed to leave, didn't you?" Jaller said, looking up to Pohatubee.Pohatubee rubbed his head. "Of course I did, why would you even need to ask?" KONGU'S BUILDINGBlue Flame, in his alt mode, watched the empty parking lot."Tell Blue Flame what's going on? Nooo! He's only a secondary character! They take Wheeldax and his tinheaded friend, but the actual Autotoabot warrior? No, it might stand out! Because people normally drive with a six foot two robot in the back seat!" Blue Flame complained.BACK AT PEST"C'mon, we gotta go see Matanui. I think we've figured out the Deceptikuta's plan!" Jaller said, pulling on the New Guy's arm."We think? No! We know! There's no second guessing with Agent 12345!" 12345 said, following them."Well, I guess we can talk to Dakama Prime." The New Guy said.A FEW MINUTES LATEREntering the PEST headquarters, Jaller, the New Guy, 12345, Hickory, Wipeout, Wheeldax, Braindoc and Pohatubee walked. That was silly line, I know.Galcee and Vakama Maximus were the first ones they saw."Pohatubee? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be protecting Jall-Hey! Jaller! What are doing here? Aren't supposed to be doing whatever it is you do?" Vakama Maximus said. "We need to talk to Dakama! It's regarding Norik Prime! We think he's in danger!" Pohatubee said."We think? We kno-" 12345 started to say, but Wipeout pointed a finger at him."Dakama, Tahkan, Phoenix, Nujack and Kopatchet just left. There were some Deceptikuta attacking and the Wreckinators needed some back up." Galcee said."Wow, the Wreckinators needed back up? That doesn't sound right." Pohatubee said."Yea, well, they got attacked by the Drill Dragon, so they needed some help." Vakama Maximus said."Then who can we talk to?" Jaller asked redundantly.Vakama Maximus was about to say himself, but Turaga Nokama and her retinue showed up. "You can talk to me. Now who let them in?" she demanded."I did sir. Maam! Maasir! Well, me and Pohatubee did. I assumed he had clearence." The New Guy said."True. I had Wipeout with me too, so we got double clearence." Pohatubee said. Wipeout waved, happy to be remembered."And if I'd had my Sector Six badge, we would've had tripl-NOKAMA!" 12345 said/yelled the last part."Donald?" she said, shocked.Jaller and Hickory laughed. "Your real name is Donald?" Jaller said."Now das ist funny!" Hickory said.12345 shot them an angry look. "This coming from Jaller Ithinkimbald and Hickory Katzenlieber?" 12345 said. Jaller and Hickory looked to their feet, not laughing any longer.12345 looked back to Nokama. "I changed it to Agent 12345, now and forever more! That name, that past is behind me! My work became my passion, my life!" 12345 said, pointing a finger at Nokama and re-adjusting his sun glasses.Hewkii walked in, saw 12345 and Nokama arguing, and shook his head. He looked to the New Guy, who just shrugged."You tell anybody about that week, and I'll-" Nokama started to say."And what? The kid here took my job when Sector Six got taken down, and I'm rich from book I saved the World and I liked it, which is available now for the low price of $25.99. No, I don't even need to talk about that time to betrayed me and took me for granted!" 12345 said.The Autotoabots watching this were offical confused."You won't even have that book if you as much as open your mouth!" Nokama spat.Just then Hydraxhide walked in. "Is there a problem?" he said. 12345 was about to say something, but Jaller spoke first. "It's about Norik! We think he's in danger, or will be atleast." Jaller said.In Metrutronian, Wipeout spoke to Hydraxhide. "Regarding the space bridge pillars." he said.Nokama didn't like this. "Hey! I said no mroe Metrutronian! We all speak Matoran here! No secrets!" she said.Hydraxhide turned and looked her in the face. "Last I checked, neither Matanui nor Dakama left you in charge." Hydraxhide said."President Turaga Dume left me in charge!" she said."If your president has something to say, he can come and say it to my face," Hydraxhide said, then showing his cannon arm "Or my cannon. I have a gun too if he wants to talk to it." "You can't threaten-" she started to say, but Vakama Maximus decided that Hdyraxhide wasn't being a good role model."Well, there are some more important matters to discuss. Like Norik, and what I'm assuming the Deceptikuta want to do with him." Vakama Maximus said."How do you know it's the Deceptikuta?" Nokama asked."I had a feeling it wasn't some local Matoran playing a prank on the 40 foot tall robot." Vakama Maximus said. "Fair enough." Nokama said.Jaller walked forward and began to speak. "Well, using clues and our mad skills, as well as 12345's Sector Six knowledge, we figured that the Ko-Matoran had taken pictures-" Jaller started to say, but well, you guessed it, Nokama spoke up."I'm sorry, but what gives him clearence to speak to us? This is a highly restricted area." she said."Do you just enjoy causing problems?" Galcee said to Nokama."Oh, she enjoys causing them." 12345 said, his eyes narrowing behind his sunglasses "She enjoys them very much."This time however, it was Hewkii to the rescue. "Maam, this is Jaller Ithinkimbald, who without him the Deceptikuta would have taken our world by now. He killed Makutatron with the AllShiny, although he did get better." Hewkii said."I know who he is, but I don't know why that means he gets to speak her-" Nokama started to say."Look, I'll vouch for him, and that's good enough." Hydraxhide said, pointing his cannon at Nokama and sounding pretty mad."You wouldn't dare." Nokama said. Beside her Hewkii waved his arms frantically."Try that on another Autotoabot, but not this one, alright? He's.. trigger happy." Hewkii said."I'll say it Jaller, she's just being stubborn." Wipeout said. "We found out that the Ko-Matoran Union had taken pictures of the crashed Autotoabot ship on the moon, showing that objects had been dragged and carried away from it. Since we know it wasn't Matoran, we thought that it must've been Deceptikuta. We also found out that they hadn't taken Norik's control pillars because the Deceptikuta did not have the energy or knowhow to use them. I think they could've used the AllShiny, or Sun Eaterer even, but they're destroyed. So their only McGuffin left is the Sun Matrix, and the only one who knows how to use the Space bridge pillars is Norik Prime. And since the Sun Matrix is now on Norik Prime's being, the Deceptikuta only need Norik Prime with the Sun Matrix to pretty much doom us all." Wipeout said."So you're saying that Blitztran tricked us into going to the moon." Vakama Maximus said."I'm saying that, and every moment that we waste with Norik Prime out doing whatever it is he's doing right now, the closer he gets to being captured by the Deceptikuta." Wipeout said."Which means we better go now." Pohatubee said."Pohatubee, you go warn Norik. He already has Tahuswipe, Mataus, Jodkra and Johnson with him. I'll stay here with Maximus, Galcee, Crashinator and the PEST soldiers and guard the pillars. And I'll have some words for Blitztran." Hydraxhide said, running off to go see the maniac Deceptikuta."Jaller, Wipeout, come with me. We'll probably need to see Blue Flame after." Pohatubee said, transmocing."I'll go ahead and see Blue Flame, you just go." Wipeout said."But how will you get there?" Jaller asked him."I HAVE an alt mode!" Wipeout said rather rudely, transmocing into it; it was a small, speeder-bike like vehicle. He flew off fastly."Didn't know that." Jaller said. "Wait, Pohatubee, why do I have to come? Won't it be dangerous?" Jaller asked."Well, it wouldn't be the same without you." Pohatubee said."Fair enough." Jaller said, getting into Pohatubee."Wait! I'm coming too! I'm not staying behind with her!" 12345 said, pointing to Nokama. Nokama glared at him."I'll go too!" Hickory said, getting in as well."Drive 'Bee, drive!" Jaller said, and Pohatubee obliged.Wheeldax and Braindox looked around. "Look at that, left behind again! What balogna is this?" Wheeldax said angrily."Yea, balogna and other various meats!" Braindox said, crossing his arms.BACK TO FIELD WHERE STUFF IS"I'm fairly certain Hewkii could beat the New Guy in arm wrestling." Mataus said."Maybe, but Hafu could beat both." Tahuswipe said."I don't really know who any of them are yet except for Hewkii, so go Hewkii!" Jodkra said."I think we all think Hewkii is a pretty cool guy, right?" Johnson said. They all agreed to it. Norik Prime didn't even bother listening now. The other Autotoabot's conversation had gotten so ridiculous that he couldn't even believe what they were talking about. He didn't know why they were talking with the Agorian either. Agorian were better than Matoran, but still.Need to stay focused, Norik thought. Things were going to get dangerous now, and one wrong move and everything went wrong. Metrutron's future hung in the balance of himself and a few noble patriots now.He saw movement in the distance. A yellow vehicle, driving as fast as it could, came towards them."Hey, what's Pohatubee doing here?" Jodkra said.Pohatubee drove up, let Jaller, 12345 and Hickory out, then transmoced. "We have to go! Norik, sir, you're in danger! The Deceptikuta will be after soon, perhaps even now." Pohatubee said."What?" Tahuswipe asked."Preposterous!" Mataus said."We are perfectly safe right here underneath Omega Kaita. I doubt there is a safer place on all of this island right now." Norik said."That may be, but you can't very well escape the Terragator in the middle of a field, now can you?" Pohatubee said."He's got a point!" Jodkra said."If Deceptikuta are really after Norik, then we better get movin'." Tahuswipe said, transmocing."Come along, Norik Prime sir!" Mataus said, transmocing as well."Very well." Norik said, transmocing into his own fire truck mode. Pohatubee transmoced, let the Matoran in, and led the way back to PEST headquarters, and right into the Deceptikuta's plan.END OF CHAPTER　Fun Commentary: You saw more of Norik's true character in this chapter. You'll also see alot more as the next few chapters roll by. And Jaller will be a little more mopey for the next little bit. Didn't quite want that, but I've wrote myself a bit of a hole now.Also, next chapter: The Highway scene! One of the best scenes in Dark of the Moon, I hope I can do it justice.MTL

Always love a Transformer MOC (even if it doesn't transform) The rest of the body is pretty good, but the head is amazing. You've gotten Brawn 100% with it, and his guns are very nice as well.MTL

Hey, y'know, it's not that bad. I would've covered up the minifig more, and the legs aren't the best, but the body, c'est magnifuque! (or however you spell that). I myself tried making exosuits a few times, never worked very well. Of course, I never tried with one of those figs, so..MTL

Well iBrony, you may not want to host a talk show for a job :PPoor Malum, his lot in life is not very much, although at least he's got a hero to look up to!If you don't finish season 4 by the time the world ends, I'mma gonna be throwin' tables at you! The correct answer was I saved the world and I liked it Just kidding, although I'd imagine it would be the sorta book Malum would like.Anyways, are going to do another interview? Maybe with Macku, and get the poor Camera Guy killed!MTL

You came pretty close, considering your knife almost went into his eye. Just missed though, probably due to the fact Shockvak was on a giant metal sawing worm thing.I wish I had gotten the chance to have the Wreckinators kill something, though. Originally I was going to have them start shooting at the Dreadinators, then the Drill Dragon appear, but it got more invovled than I planned it to be. The next chapter could possibly be today, although this is the last day of winter holidays :(MTL

Well, that was embarrassing. Now that's why you don't open a new tab and try to post the chapter when the one tab is being slow. Also why you should check the post once you post it... grrrgghh. Is fixed now. THE MORE YOU KNOW! I'm lazy and the post button has a bad sense of humour would be the most correct answer. Why do you ask why he asks these things? You forgot the part where the villain monologues for 10 minutes about his evil genius and great plan. Supplying styrofoam peanuts. That's always the right answer.Good chappy, yet again. Battle scenes are fun n' such.-MTOne of the many great questions I have basically every villian/hero confrontation I have is: "Why don't ya just shoot him?" Then I had the Wreckinators go ahead and shoot him.Styrofoam peanuts? DeliciousMTL

What sorta excuse is that? I could fly while being tickled! Ringtones like that could get annoying very fast... The Assassin did... Who doesn't love Dominoes? Loved this part. I also would've quoted the whole "show him the door" bit, but I don't think you need to read your own chapter over again!Has there ever been a comedy where Takua acted "normal"? Of course, it would be no fun if he did.And fight scenes are always good!MTL

Well, good comments, always good to see. I haven't thought about 12345 and Nokama kissing yet, but it's an idea that will be fun to use... And since the last few chapters were pretty short, here's a long one. And the title is correct, stuff happens.ALSO: When posting a large chapter, it is a bad idea to open a new tab and try to post when the one page is being slow...TRANSONICLE 3: THE ULTIMATE DOOMCHAPTER 18STUFF HAPPENSTHE FIELD WHERE OMEGA KAITA AND THE iBROW ARENot long after the Dreadinators had left, Matanui Prime and Norik Prime, who had taken a fire truck as an alt mode (he had been under the impression that it was a military vehicle that shot fire) drove up."And there he is. Omega Kaita, almost as strong as he was on Metrutron." Matanui Prime said as they transmoced."He is impressive. He fell at that final battle, didn't he?" Norik said, admiring the 112 foot tall Omega Kaita. Omega turned to them, and looked down, his face expressionless behind his visor."The Zivonastator was too strong for him. Luckily, I killed that beast, and Icarax at the same time on Voya-Nui, along with Icarax's Sun Eaterer." Matanui said. If he had been looking at Norik, he would've noticed Norik wince as he said that.Norik turned away from Matanui, and looked to where the iBrow was. Well, atleast he thought where it was. It was invisible right now."The Wreckinator's ship is here as well, I understand." Norik said."Yes, the iBrow. They used it to bring themselves, along with Ramenbolt, Nujack, Jodkra and Johnson." Matanui explained."I see. How large is the ship?" Norik said.Matanui thought for a moment. "About 130 feet I think." Matanui said."Interesting. Tell me, if we needed to, could we have all of the Autotoabots in the ship?" Norik asked.Matanui looked at him oddly, but answered anyways. "All the Autotoabots here with us now could fit, with the exception of Omega, of course. Why do you ask?" Matanui said."Oh, just curious. Just curious." Norik said, then turning in the direction of the Coliseum. "That building, tell me about it. It is very large, unlike much on this planet. What is it's purpose?" Norik asked again.Matanui looked at it. "That is the Coliseum. It is the home of Metru-Nui's government, and is covered in communication arrays as well. It houses most of the banking, military, government and other important aspects of Metru-Nui." Matanui said.Norik looked at him surprised. "Their entire military is in there?" he asked.Matanui apologized. "I meant the controlling persons and such are located inside of it.""Oh, that makes more sense. So, without control of that building, Metru-Nui would become... headless, basically?" Norik said."I would assume so. Why do you ask these things?" Matanui said."Simple curiousity in an alien place, that's all." Norik said, turning in a new direction, one which looked out to sea. "This planet, it is very.. peaceful. Unlike how Metrutron was in the final years. Our poor home." Norik said sadly, lowering his head.Matanui walked up and put his hand on Norik's shoulder. "This is our home now, my friend. Here, I want to give you the Sun Matrix." Matanui said, searching for it. "Hmm? Where did it go..."Norik pulled it out, and it floated above his hand. "It is alright, I kept it went you... reactivated me with it." Norik said."Oh. Well, I want you to keep it. You are the most senior Prime." Matanui bowed."Matanui, you became Lord Protectinator. That was a rank far above my own. And here, you are the senior Prime." Norik said."Still, I feel like you should keep care of it, here on our new home." Matanui said."Very well Matanui. On our... home." Norik said, turning away and saying that last part in a rather hushed tone.NEAR THE TOHU MEMORIALSince those Primes tend to not be all that funny, let us go to a group of someones who might be more humorous.The Wreckinators drove down a road rather erratically. Well, they thought they were driving right, but if you remember, they haven't exactly been up-to-date on road ettiquite."What's with all these Matoran drivin' at us?" JackaL said, dodging a car."I'm worried some of them are Deceptikuta." LesoSpinn said. Keep in mind that JackaL and LesoSpinn's alt modes are weapon covered and a little spiky."I think you two are on the wrong side. The Matoran seem to have organised themselves into two sides." iBrow said to them. iBrow's vehicle mode was far less dangerous looking, only having two machine guns on the hood.Only."Oooh I see what you mean. I'm goin' to try this side." JackaL said, switching lanes. "Hey, this is pretty slick." he said, going much faster now."I still think we should shoot them. They could be Deceptikuta." LesoSpinn said."I can think of better ideas." iBrow said said. The three kept driving until all the other cars stopped."That's it! It must be a Deceptikuta!" LesoSpinn said."Wait, there's a light up there that they've stopped behind." iBrow said."Is the light a Deceptikuta?" LesoSpinn asked."I don't know, but there is alot of them.." iBrow said."We should shoot them! I bet they're Deceptikuta spies!" JackaL said, getting excited."We don't know if they are or not! Besides, who would choose an alt mode as stupid as that?" iBrow said."Exactly! You'd never expect it!" JackaL said, transmocing."Oh here we go." iBrow said as Matoran started to run and scream."Matoran! Do not fret! That Deceptikuta will not harm you!" JackaL yelled, taking his cannon and obliterating the traffic light, the post it was on, and the nearest 4 feet of concrete.The other two Wreckinators transmoced and investigated the scene."Well, I think it's dead." LesoSpinn said.A Ta-Matoran ran up to them. "What have you done? That was my favourite traffic light on the entire island!" the Matoran cried.The Wreckinators looked at each other all confused like. "Traffic light?" iBrow said.Through tears, the Matoran answered. "Yes! For gloriously directing traffic to and fro!""Neat." JackaL said. The Wreckinators continued walking to the Tohu Memorial.The entired the (almost) one kilmetre wide no-man's-land around the Tohu Memorial. Several police, military and Vahki were around the borders of the zone. In the center was the Occupied park, tall walls of some mysterious Metrutronian metal put up around the edges of the park, with several Deceptikuta turret combiners stationed on the top of it."You think it would be ok if we just went in and killed everything?" JackaL said, his sonic cannon readied. LesoSpinn had his rifle and strands of grenades ready, and iBrow had all he needed on his utility belt, including; three knives (throwable) an axe (throwable) shotgun (possibly throwable) and a hammer on his back (potentially throwable)."It would save time, now wouldn't it." iBrow said, contemplating how an assault would work.LesoSpinn saw something out of the corner of his eye. His one remaining eye, that is. His left eye was nothing but a deep scar on his head, long ago destroyed by Makutatron."Those three cars aren't stopping!" LesoSpinn said, and it was true. Three black Suburbans were driving straight for the entrance to the Deceptikuta base, the gates opening."Deceptikuta?" JackaL asked."I think so." iBrow said. "Wreckinators, attack!"The Wreckinators opened fire, and the suburbans stopped, transmocing into their robots forms."Well ain't this a surprise! iBrow and his playmates! About to be the Wreckedinators!" Crowdax said, the blades he had on his arms lengthing into full out swords. Beside him Crankdok, his spear things in hand, and Hatchback, his teeth ready, stood awaiting his command. Pre-battle banter is always a must."Crowdax, you could never come up with anything original. Wreckedinators? That's not insulting at all. And you even stole our name from us. Dreadinators? That sounds stupid." iBrow said, axe and hammer in hand (there handles lengthen and shorten, y'see? Two-handed or dual wielding, it's iBrow's choice, just like in Skyrim how you can choose to two-hand of dual wiel-AAANNNYYYWAAYYYSSS, Crowdax was a bit taken back by the accusations, but he was ready. "Hah! Fool! We're the Dread Avengers now!"Beside him Crankdok looked annoyed. "No we're not! Dreadinators is bad enough, we don't need to be known as the Dread Avengers!""Just like how you didn't need dreadlocks?" Crowdax shot back."HEY! Personal choice for myself! You have no right to get at me about that!" Crankdok said madly."Then how come we can't be the Dread Avengers? It's my personal choice!" Crowdax said."It's reflecting the whole team! It looks bad if we use that!" Crankdok argued."How?" Crowdax said.Beside them, Hatchback looked ashamed. "Look, they're not like this often. I'm sure they'll be over it soon..." he said.The Wreckinators looked at each other. "This is a pretty stupid arguement." LesoSpinn said."It's also not the time to be argueing about what you're called!" iBrow said."Look, just minute to cool down, and then we can kill each other, ok?" Hatchback said. "I'm sure they're almost done now.."They looked back to Crowdax and Crankdok, who didn't look almsot done. "Dreadinators! You couldn't even come up with an original name!" Crankdok said."It's better than anything you could've come up with!" Crowdax said."How do you know? You didn't even ask!" Crankdok said."I didn't need to! I'm the leader, what I say goes!" Crowdax said.iBrow fired his shotgun and sent the two off of their feet. "I really don't care." iBrow said. The Wreckinators went into action. Jackal fired his cannon a few times, each shot creating a sonic boom, which scattered the Dreadinators. LesoSpinn threw some of his smoke bombs, seperating the Dreadinators. iBrow, with his hammer and axe, ran in, hitting Hatchback in the shoulder when the dog-like Deceptikuta jumped at him. Spinning, he sliced at Crowdax, who was disorientated from the sonic booms and smoke. Crankdok backed out of the smoke and fired randomly into it, but a shot from LesoSpinn's rifle knocked the Dreadinator down.iBrow got into a melee of sorts with Crowdax, whose swords kept blocking iBrow's hammer and axe. Once they got going, the Dreadinators actually weren't fighters; they were just better when they had either the element of surprise, or weaker enemies.And unfortunately for them, they had neither.JackaL put his mighty cannon away and took out his knife and expertly sliced at Hatchback, making the four footed Deceptikuta march deep into the smoke. Then when Hatchback couldn't see him, JackaL circled around him and sliced at him. Hatchback kicked at him, then spun and grabbed onto JackaL's arm with his mouth. JackaL, almost calmly, stabbed Hatchback in the middle of the face, and Hatchback ran off into the smoke.LesoSpinn was tackled by Crankdok, who had gotten back to his feet. Rolling about, LesoSpinn took out his own glowing blue knife and sliced off one of Crankdok's dreadlocks."NOOO!!" Crankdok yelled, throwing LesoSpinn back. LesoSpinn rolled, got onto his feet, and with having gotten his rifle out in the roll, shot at Crankdok, sending the Dreadlocked Deceptikuta back, with more of his dreads missing. Turning again, he fired and hit Crowdax in the back of the leg, which allowed iBrow to stick his axe into Crowdax's shoulder. He would've hit him in the head, but the smoke made him miss.The Dreadinators retreated suddenly, and the Wreckinators stood back-to-back-to-back.Hearing a rumbling, iBrow had an idea. "We should get out of the smoke." he said. Agreeing with him, the three Wreckinators ran out of the smoke, just as the ground shattered, and the Drill Dragon burst forth."Not this thing again!" JackaL said, and the smoke departed, showing the Drill Dragon coiling up, it's monstrous saw-y head looking at them. Shockvak appeared on top of it."We meet again, Wreckinators. I regret to inform you that I do not know your individual names. It matters not, since you will all be dead so-" Shockvak began to saw, but was stopped a knife was thrown at him, just missing his eye, then he was sent back by a shot from JackaL's high powered cannon."Talking isn't a free action, Shockvak." iBrow said, getting his shotgun in hand."As is logical. It appears I was distracted by that object over there." Shockvak said. Confused, the Wreckinators glanced behind them. The Drill Dragon lunged at them, but iBrow noticed, and they got out of the way just in time."Deceived by a Deceptikuta!" LesoSpinn said, transmocing and driving out of its huge range, firing a few times at it."Are you actually surprised?" JackaL said, doing the same."I think he's more surprised that we were surprised by Shockvak." iBrow said, also transmocing.The Dreadinators got into the Deceptikuta base, and the Drill Dragon kept making for them, but they kept away, shooting with their vehicle mode weapons, much like they all did in Ko-Metru."How are we supposed to kill this thing?" JackaL said, firing everything."I hate to say this, but I don't we can." LesoSpinn said, almost crushed by one of the Drill Dragon's smaller heads."He's right. Wreckinators," iBrow said, really having trouble with this next part "retreat!" Glumly, the Wreckinators fell back, and the Drill Dragon returned to the ground, Shockvak no doubt pleased with himself.ELSEWHEREPohatubee drove up to the building where Jaller and co. now lived."Snazy place." 12345 said, looking up at the huge building belonging to Kongu Gould."You two are going to have to be careful in there. I don't think Kongu will take kindly to you two. Or he might. I don't know. Just don't cause atenttion to yourselves I guess..." Pohatubee said."Well that's helpful info. What floor can we find Jaller on?" 12345 asked Pohatubee."Does it look like I've been inside to check?" Pohatubee said."He has a point." Hickory said."Let's just find him. We got an invasion to stop." 12345 said. He and Hickory got out of Pohatubee and went into Kongu's building. Inside was sparkling clean."Not what I'd expect from a building owned by a Le-Matoran." 12345 said."Ist not vhat I expected, to be zure." Hickory said. 12345 walked up to the first reception desk he could find, where sat a Ga-Matoran playing Solitaire on a computer."Hello Maam. I'm here to see a Mr. Jaller, and I'm wondering which floor I could find him on." 12345 said."Are you now." The Ga-Matoran said, not looking up from her game."I zink he ist. Othervise he vouldn't have aske-" Hickory began to say."I got this. You just stand there and look..." 12345 looked at Hickory "Just stand there." Turning back to the Ga-Matoran, he continued his pursuit. "Look, miss, I really need your help finding him.""Why? Don't you have legs?" The Ga-Matoran asked.12345 leaned over the table and looked her right in the eye, less than 3 inches from her face. "Look, you either help me find who I'm looking for, or everyone on this island is going to die." 12345 said "Fiery, robot caused deaths. Do you want that on your conscience? Do you? Are you really that soulless, empty hearted and pitiless to allow that to happen?"The Ga-Matoran's expression changed only slightly, and sighing, she typed up Jaller on the computer.Looking back to 12345, she spoke, "23rd floor, room 78, the side viewing the Coliseum and Tohu Memorial. Elevators broken." then she returned to her game.12345 straightened up. "Very well. Thnak Maam." he turned to Hickory. "It appears we better start walking." As they began to walk away, the Ga-Matoran smiledto herself. The elevator wasn't really broken, but she hadn't liked that Po-Matoran with the smooth mask and sunglasses."Vhat a rude Frau." Hickory as they began up the stairs."She was just mis-informed. The Government has lied to her about everything, and now she hides her grief about it in a game. Poor, poor girl." 12345 said.ONE HOUR LATERReaching the 23rd floor, wheezing and panting, the two Matoran looked down the hall.m"She said room 78, didn't she?" 12345 said between gasps."On de zide viewing de Coliseum." Hickory said, only in marginally better shape than 12345."Why would she need to say that..." 12345 said, but noticed just as said it. On both sides of the hall, it said 1 for the first door.Hickory noticed it too. "Zo dere's 156 rooms on dis floor?" he said."Let's do this." 12345 said, still panting, making his way down the hall.77 ROOMS LATER"Well, rooms 78. I think this is the side viewing the Coliseum." 12345 said, leaning against the wall. They were just about to open the door when the elevator nearby opened and Jaller walked out."12345!" Jaller said.12345 looked at the elevator. "You uh, took that up?" 12345 said."I did... didn't you?" Jaller asked."Ve took de stairs." Hickory said."I didn't even know there were stairs." Jaller said.Fighting some sort of angry comment, 12345 got to the task at hand. "I heard you have a robot problem?" he said."Right! That! Well, follow me, and I'll explain." Jaller said, opening the door and looking around. "The coast looks clear." Jaller said, walking in. The three of them were halfway across the room when they heard the voice of Jaller's mother."Jaller? Is that you?" his mother yelled."Yep! Just me!" Jaller answered, motioning Hickory and 12345 to continue on to the next room. "She won't be happy to see you, exspecially you 12345. So stay quiet!" Jaller whispered to them."Who are you taking too?" Jaller's mother yelled again."Just uh, just Wheeldax!" Jaller yelled back."Which one's Wheeldax?" She yelled back."The one with the wheels for feet and shoulders! How'd you even confuse him? He's the one we've had for three years! And he's the only one with wheels! That'd should've been your first clue!" Jaller yelled."They all look the same to me." She said, talking to her husband and ending her and Jaller's discussion. Entering the room he was leading 12345 and Hickory in, he closed the door, turned around and came face to face with Wipeout."So Jaller, sneaking some friends in?" Wipeout said, his arms crossed. Wipeout stood just a little taller than Jaller, so this one of the few instances where Wipeout was the tallest being in the room."Geez Wipeout you can't sneak up on me like that!" Jaller said, stepping around the tiny (compared to Pohatubee and the like) Autotoabot."What? Did you forget about me? It's alright, I'm used to it." Wipeout said "I'm just a little curious as to what's going on, since I saw that you sent Pohatubee to go find these two."Jaller sighed. "This is 12345, he used to be a Sector Six agent. He helped me during the whole Icarax thing and now he's here to help with the new invasion." Jaller said."And who is his Ko-Matoran friend here?" Wipeout asked, pointing to Hickory."I don't know." Jaller said."He's my servant, Hickory. I have some now, because I got rich off of my book." 12345 said.Hickory waved. "Guten Tag." he said."Your book?" Jaller asked."Yea, my book. Did you buy it?" 12345 asked."Uh, yea. Great book. Loved it." Jaller lied."Really? What was your favourite part?" 12345 asked."Well, uh, that part where you, uh," Jaller struggled to answer, but he didn't have to. Wheeldax, followed by Braindox, jumped up onto a table nearby."Eh! This guy again! This is the weirdo who kept Frendox's head in a jar! This is guy I was telling you about Braindox." Wheeldax said."Yea he look weird." Braindox said, nodding."Hey! Isn't this your girlfriend's pet robot? Where is the little criminal? You guys still dating?" 12345 said."She doesn't no that I'm trying to stop a Deceptikuta invasion right now. She might get worried. I don't think she'd be too pleased." Jaller said.There was an awkward silence after that, for no real reason."Well, perhaps I can help them. You are going to need someone mroe competent than the gruesome twosome overthere." Wipeout said, pointing to Wheeldax and Braindox.Wheeldax elbowed Braindox. "Looks like he's taking about you buddy." he said. Braindox looked worried."Alright, let's get started! What's the scoop so far?" 12345 asked.Jaller clapped his hands together. "Well, there's evil robots, the Deceptikuta." he said."Yea." 12345 said."And they want to take over the world or something." Jaller said."Yea." 12345 said.Jaller looked to Wipeout. The Autotoabot shrugged.12345 looked annoyed. "That's all? There's more on the back of my book!" 12345 said."Well, I know that the Deceptikuta are up to something on the moon." Jaller said."Alright, and how?" 12345 asked."A crazy Ko-Matoran told me." Jaller answered. Hickory looked up at this."Well, the moon..." 12345 said."The dark side of the moon I think he said." Jaller said."Well, the Dark of the Moon." 12345 said."No, dark side of the moon." Jaller said."Whatever. Hmmm." 12345 said. He walked to the window. Looking out, he saw the Coliseum. "Wow, I bet you'd have a good view of the Coliseum from the top floor." he said. Looking down, he saw the Tohu Memorial. "If you were on the top floor, you'd also have a great view of the Deceptikuta base!" 12345 said.Jaller ran up beside him and looked. "The top few floors are restricted and belong to Kongu." Jaller said.12345 turned and grabbed Jaller's shoulders. "And what does Kongu's company work in?" 12345 asked."It was some space related thing." Jaller said."Space like in an empty room? Space between a Tohunga's two front teeth? C'mon, work with me here!" 12345 said.Jaller turned to the two mini Autotoabots on the desk nearby. "Braindox! You turn into a laptop right?" Jaller asked him."I do?" Braindox asked.Wheeldax slapped the back of his head. "Yea you do you tinhead!""Oh!" Braindox said, transmocing into a laptop."Right, let's see what Mr.Kongu Gould does for a living.." 12345 said, letting go of Jaller and searching it up on Braindox. As 12345 typed, Braindox giggled. "Tell him to stop that please. I don't like it." 12345 said to Wheeldax.Wheeldax slapped the side of Braindox's alt mode. "Stop laughin'! You're embarrassing the good name Autotoabot!" Wheeldax said."Sorry." Braindox said, who stopped laughing. Wheeldax nodded, crossed his arms and looked up at Wipeout. Wipeout didn't look all that impressed."Bingo!" 12345 said, finding what he was looking for. "It says that Kongu's company deals in space program funding." 12345 said.Jaller, Hickory and Wipeout crowded around to look at the screen."Dat can't be right," Hickory said "de last trip to space vas over 11 years ago.""Does it say anything else?" Jaller asked."This page hasn't been updated in almot six years now.." 12345 said "I don't think I can much.""You too slow. I do it." Braindox said, searching the website at lightning fast speed."That'll do." 12345 said, letting Braindox work.Meanwhile, Wipeout thought. "Almost six years... The first contact with the Deceptikuta on this planet happened just over five years ago." Wipeout said."And just over five years is the same as almost six!" Wheeldax said excitedly."Not much more on site. Said they had lots to do with Ko-Matoran space." Braindox said.They turned to Hickory. "Well mein freund, it's your time to play now." 12345 told him."Very vell." Hickory cleared his throat a few times, then answered. "De Ko-Matoran Union und de Metru-Nui governments had a space race, as you know, although-" Hickory started to say."Don't worry, I got this one. No one can understand your accent anyway." 12345 said, and Hickory had an angered looked on his face. "Metru-Nui built satillite from NEMOTE 1,""Makutatron." Jaller said."Satillite crashed in Ko-Metru, Ko-Matoran reverse enginneered, la-de-da, la-de-da, they got the first Matoran on the moon after that. They landed on the dark side of the moon. And what did they find? A big ol' crashed ship." 12345 said."And how do you know all this?" Jaller asked."When the Ko-Matoran Union joined up with Metru-Nui, Sector Six took all their important documents. Guess who got to read them." 12345 said, pointing to himself."The President?" Braindox asked.12345 looked at him, but ignored him."I can help now." Wipeout said. "After their defeat at Voya-Nui, most of the Deceptikuta force went to the moon, and has stayed situated on one part for the past three years. And guess what? That parts on the dark side. And what's more, Matanui Prime just lead a small force up there, and from a crashed Autotoabot ship, which I assume was the one the Ko-Matoran saw, recovered Norik Prime and his space bridge pillars." Wipeout said."Matanui went to space without me!" Wheeldax said in shock.Beside him, Braindox transmoced. "Waaaww naay!" he said.Jaller was surprised ot hear all this, but 12345's quick thinking mind kept working. "So the Deceptikuta were at that ship, and presumably searching through it for three years now, and they didn't find this guy and his bridge thing?" 12345 asked."Apparently so. The fact that the ship they took turned invisible must have helped somewhat." Wipeout said."Tell me, what do these bridge things do, exactly?" 12345 asked."They have the abilty to transport objects across space and such, as long as sufficent power and pillars are available. At least that's what Johnson told me on the comm anyways." Wipeout said."And the Deceptikuta didn't find any of them?" 12345 asked."We only uncovered the five controls pillars, to the ebst of my knowledge." Wipeout said."So the Deceptikuta could have the rest of them? I mean I'm assuming Norik had more than five with him." 12345 said."I suppose they could. We don't think the Ko-Matoran got them." Wipeout said."Well, I know the Ko-Matoran didn't. But I think the Deceptikuta. You see, one of the pictures I saw that the Ko-Matoran had taken included strange drag and feet marks, leading away from the crashed ship. Which I think means that the Deceptikuta took the rest of the pillars." 12345 said.Wipeout looked worried. "That's terrible news then. The only good side is that the only one who knows how to control is Norik, and he's safe with us. We also have the control pillars too, which means we should be good." Wipeout said."Wait!" Jaller said "They could've just waited for us to reactivate him so they could take him and make him use the pillars!" Jaller said."Now that's crazy talk." Wipeout said."Crazy!" Braindox agreed."Eh, hang on, the kids got a point. How did you guys find out about Norik and all?" 12345 asked."Well, Phoenix captured a Deceptikuta, and took back to base and interrog- oh pants." Wipeout said, realizing the truth in Jaller's idea."And Matanui used the Sun Matrix to wake up Norik, didn't he?" Jaller asked."That could be used to power the pillars. And Matanui probably gave it to Norik to keep, since Norik is the senior Prime! Oh that's not good! That's really not good!" Wipeout said, starting to get worried."Well, we should be fine as long as Norik's safe, right?" Wheeldax asked.There was silence."Ve might vant to go und tell dhem." Hickory said."Good idea, Wipeout, contact Pohatubee and tell him to get read-" Jaller was saying as he turned and ran right into Hahli."Well Jaller, I didn't know I wasn't invited to your parties." she said."Ugh, look, Hahli, there really isn't time to explain, big problem.." Jaller said, trying to move past her."You had time to get 12345 here. I think you have time to explain to me." Hahli said. Nearby 12345 stood, a little confused, while behind him Hickory waved."Well, long story short, Deceptikuta might be about to capture an Autotoabot and use him to destroy the world, and Kongu might be in league with them. Better start packing up our stuff then." Jaller said.Hahli wasn't exactly happy to hear this. "JALLER! He's taken us into his home, and is letting us live here free of charge, while paying me to work for him, and just because he's a suck up you immediately assume he's working for the Deceptikuta?" she said, her voice full of anger."Hahli, what does this company actually do?" Jaller asked her."They, uh, they, they work in business.." Hahli started to say."Exactly! You don't know! We searched it up, and it says it's a space program funding thing, but no one has a space program, and the website hasn't been updated since the first Deceptikuta attacks! He also had lots to do with the Ko-Matoran space program, which found an Autotoabot ship on the moon! Hence, he's bad!" Jaller said.12345 turned to Hickory and Wipeout. "It would convince me." he said. Wipeout and Hickory nodded."He wasn't even alive when that stuff happened!" Hahli protested."I don't know, maybe his dad was doing it before him. Look, we really have to go. The world might get destroyed if we don't warn Matanui!" Jaller said.Hahli was mad. "Jaller, you walk out that door, and you're choosing either me, or the world!" she said."OH COME ON! That's hardly a fair choice!" Jaller said."It's your choice! This hunch you have because you don't like the person I work for, or our realationship!" Hahli said."Look, kid, we can go and you stay here." 12345 said."No you can't! Nobodies leaving until Jaller answers!" Hahli said.12345 shrugged. Jaller looked back and forth between them. "I, but, the world, you,artrrggghhh." Jaller said.Wheeldax rolled over to Hahli and touched her foot. "Please warrior goddess, show him mercy, for all of us." Wheeldax pleaded in the softest voice he could muster. Braindox stood behind him trying to do puppy eyes, but it looked more like a dead goldfish.Hahli shook her foot and Wheeldax fell over, yelling something about "crazy pagan worship"."Jaller," she said, "choose."Wipeout tried to sneak out the door, but Hahli saw him. "Get back here Wipeout!" she snapped."The one time someone remembers me!" Wipeout said. He stood behind Jaller, as the air between Jaller and Hahli almost seemed to grow hot with Jaller's fear and confusion, and Hahli's anger."Hahli, I'm sorry, but I can't let this happen. I have" and here Jaller snuffled "to go.""Then you're not coming back here!" Hahli said, and Jaller, 12345, Hickory, Wipeout, Braindox, and Wheeldax were thrown out of the room, the door locked behind them."Well kid, your decision was for the greater good. That was a heroic sacrifice of sorts." 12345 said, trying to comfort Jaller, who was crying now."Az long az ve are right about dis. If ve are not, dhen-" Hickory started to say, but 12345 shot him a look.Wipeout opened the elevator. "Pohatubee waiting. We should go." he said. They all piled into the elevator.And a security camera watched all of this from inside the room."Yeessss, it appears that they are on to us, oh nooooo, but she can be hostaged, oh yesssss." Rumdox said to Lasorhawk, who watched from another room in the building."It would appear we better hurry up with the plan then." Lasorhawk said. Beside him, Kongu watched interestedly."I'm quite honestly surprised that they figured that out by themselves, when the rest of the Autotoabot could only do exactly what we wanted." Kongo said, his gold tooth glinting in the light. He turned in his spinny chair, and looked down, through a telescope and into the Deceptikuta base, where Flufskiron could be seen talking to three black Deceptiktua, spiky, one with Dreadlocks and another walking like a dog."It's time, I assume, to get things done." Kongu said. "Send someone to fetch Hahli and Jaller's parents for me, would you, my dear Lasorhawk?""Certainly." Lasorhawk said, scowling at the Matoran's turned back.END OF CHAPTERFun Commentary: OOOoooooh, they was right! Kongu is bad, bad to the bone. Things will move quickly over the next 2-4 chapters or so! And Matanui does think something is off about Norik, but he won't think thatt Norik would betray them. And I think that if I hadn't needed the Dreadinators for later, the Wreckinators could easily have killed them in less than a paragraph.MTL

I don't know what's wrong with Tahu, table legs always kick me back :PAnother good chapter, although I'm pretty sure Progentius is sort of invincible compared to all the other sets! Being a big ol' dragon and all...MTL

Haven't seen it yet, but I want to. Loved the first one, and I really do think I'll love this one. Robert Downey Jr. is amazing.MTL

Now that's better! It looks like it could shoot now!MTL

*coughmegatron'sgunisonthewrongarmcough* Aside from that, probably the best you could've done sticking to the Hero Factory parts. Furno 2.0's swords (at least I think it's 2.0's..) would work well for Optimus. Also, aside from Megatron's gun being on the wrong arm, it could also be a bit bigger. Aside from that, good work on them. I could've told who they were without you having posted a title!MTL

I just had a thought. If you had Boba Fett's new head from the Slave 1 (or that muggle with the cat from the Hogwarts set) that face might make a better Aragorn. Aside from that head and the one you're using now, I don't think you have any others to choose from flesh-colour wise.MTL

I'd hate to try fighting those Matoran. Small, but ridiculously deadly.Poor Tarduk. Someone goes around asking to kill people, and the only person who volunteers doesn't get it. Irony!I'm interested to see how the guest stars play into this...MTL

Well, I see your point there. But maybe for some characters, like Megatron, they could have unlimited ammo (or atleast an overheat thing) because it always was kind of demeaning to try and run around looking for ammo as Megatron while all the Autotobot are laughing their optics out...Of course, that would make playing against him in live terrible. So maybe limited ammo during live games...Anyways, I just looked at old pictures from the Cybertron cartoon, and it made me remember how much I wanted leader class Galvatron and Optimus. They always looked so awesome and not kibbly. I mean, I loved ROTF Optimus (ROTF Megs is a different story..) but he still had large backpack, was very hard to transform, and liked to make sure you never forgot who he was. You also couldn't bend his arms very much without activating his face-taking powers.MTL

Hmmm. Maybe I should get live then...I'm too excited for FOC. It's just gonna be awesome. Too awesome. Although I hope guns don't run out of ammo in it..MTL

12345 has to make a living somehow. He's not exactly paperboy material. And Hickory does have a German accent, just a more realistic one compared to say, Blitztran.It was a short chapter, I don't really know why. I was feeling lazy near the end of it, and I felt 12345 needed a chapter where he stared in it.I also notice you that you read Tvtropes, with your whole team thing going on in your sig. I haven't been on tvtropes lately, and I've had more free time as a result. Well...good thing it was just water... I do enjoy this guy's accent. THAT'S a hassle. Never realized how much work it really is that I do whenever I drive.Good chappy, MTL. I get the feeling I'm going to enjoy this comedy.-MTWhat with the keys and opening the door and starting it.... ridiculous how anyone can drive anywhere.I hope you enjoy it, because hate is such a wasted emotion I smell a Batman reference.Also apologies for not posting in awhile, though short chapter was short and also comedic.-ibrowThen you've smellled correctly! It's always does the heart good when someone catches your reference!There's no sweat about posting, but it does help to know wheter I've done a good job or not when people post! :PAlso;Fun Commentary: The whole Wreckinators complaining bit is my own sentiments. I've only really used them twice (the Drill Dragon/Shockvak in Ko-Metru and going to the moon) and they still haven't done anything. Such a waste of talent too, because they can fight, which in the big ol' final battle, they'll make up for it. They're gonna do much more than they did in the movie! Also, it's "inators" as in WreckINATOR and DreadINATOR.TRANSONICLE 3: THE ULTIMATE DOOMCHAPTER 17THE INATORS OF SOCEITY PEST HEADQUARTERS, TA-METRU, METRU-NUIThe three Wreckinators, iBrow, JackaL and LesoSpinn all sat on some of the largest benches ever created, specifically designed for Metrutronians.And they were bored out of their minds."iBrow! What's the point of comin' to this stupid rock if we're not going to do anything!" JackaL complained. LesoSpinn nodded in agreeance."We've gone on what, two missions now, and both would've gone just as fine without us!" LesoSpinn said."Calm down ya tinheads. I'm sure something will come up." iBrow said, disapointed (and slightly agreeing with) his comrades want for action."We went to the bloody moon, and where the entire Deceptikuta army is sitting on their chasis, and all we did was grab the body of Norik Prime and his teleportin' things!" JackaL said."They needed our ship, though. They couldn't have gone up with Omega Kaita, he would've been seen from millions of kios away!" iBrow said."We're three of the most battle hardened and Deceptikuta-smashin' Autotoabots there is, and all we've done is shoot at Shockvak's drilling thing rescue Norik Prime!" Jackal said."You're overreacting JackaL. I'm sure the second something happens, Matanui will be the first to send us out." iBrow said."Somethin' did happen! Pohatubee's pet got attacked by Panrashot, and they sent Tahuswipe and Jodkra!" JackaL said."Hey, Tahuswipe and Jodkra can handle themselves. Although I don't personally care for all his nonsense about how great he thinks he is, but Jodkra is good. Johnson can handle himself pretty good too, for an Agorian." iBrow said."I think we're underappreciated." JackaL said, crossing his arms as he said it."Look, the three of us have seen more battles and fights than msot of the Autotoabots here." iBrow started to say."Except for Hydraxhide." LesoSpinn said."Well that goes without saying of course." iBrow said. The three mutually agreed about that. Hydraxhide had been in wars that probably hadn't even happened, but no one was going to him that. "You shouldn't be acting like protoforms about it." iBrow said."I guess." JackaL finally said. LesoSpinn nodded in agreement. "But I'd still like to do somethin' other than sittin' around all day!" JackaL said."Ye want something to do?" Hydraxhide said, walking up. The large, black Autotoabot towered over the three of them, and still hadn't lost his enjoyment of blowing Deceptikuta up, even after he'd lost one of his precious cannons on Voya-Nui. "Go on watch around the Tohu Memorial where all the Deceptikuta are hiding out, and the first Deceptikuta that makes trouble, you got my approval to blow up." "Well then, I guess we're getting something to do after all. Wreckinators, let's go!" iBrow said, transmocing and driving off, followed by JackaL and LesoSpinn.Hydraxhide watched them drive off. He liked the Wreckinators, they were bots after his own spark; gun tottin' Deceptikuta smashin' trigger happy explosion fanatics. He walked along, seeing PEST soldiers run by, doing their jobs and such. He wasn't actually aware what PEST meant, but he was glad to have their help none the less. They kept the smaller Deceptikuta off of him when he wanted to wreck one of the bigger guys.Walking along, he came to Kopatchet's new lab. Since his old one had been destroyed when it was flying at the battle of Voya-Nui (long story there), and the old PEST headquarters had been wrecked aswell in a different Deceptikuta attack, the first thing Kopatchet had done when they'd aquired the new base was construct a new lab. Hydraxhide always thought it was ironic how Kopatchet was a terrible medic, but a much better inventor of things, like Omega Kaita's new body.Finally getting into Kopatchet's lab, Hydraxhide saw piles upon piles of junk and wires, along with a trailer in the back which also had stuff stuck into it. Sitting on top of one of these piles was Crashinator, the ex-Deceptikuta who turned into a wolf. He was in his wolf mode right now, which Hydraxhide assumed was his prefered mode."How ya doing Hydraxhide?" Crashinator asked. Crashinator had been one of Soundprah's minions, and along with the cat Ravager, had been sent into the old PEST base to try and steal a shard of the AllShiny. Ravager had escaped with the shard (with help from Sleedat) but Hydraxhide and Kopatchet captured Crashinator. Crashinator didn't due much after that, aside from losing an eye and getting an eye patch thing over it. Crashinator had helped Kopatchet build Omega Kaita, and helped fight of the Deceptikuta when they had attacked the island. He then didn't due much after that, aside from cracking a few very un-funny jokes. He then went to Voya-Nui with the other Autotoabots, helping rescue Hahli and Jaller from Deceptikuta, and killed Ravager when Ravager was going to sneak attack Pohatubee, who was in combat already.Golly, that really was too long, wasn't it? It's hardly like Crashinator is one of the main Autotoabots or anythin-"What's with this mess?" Hydraxhide asked, not really caring for whatever nonsense explanation I was going to give for my unness-"Kopatchet has been off his game. He doesn't like Nujack being a better medic than him." Crashinator said, standing up and streching, the following Hydraxhide as he walked along trying to find Kopatchet.It was true. Kopatchet just didn't like being upstarted by Nujack, who had fixed Pohatubee's vocal processors in 30 seconds, when it had taken Kopatchet years to break them more."He should stop being such a wimp and get on with it. What's he doing now, other than making a mess?" Hydraxhide asked in his usual gruff manner. If you're imagining Jess Harnell's (Ironhide's voice in the films) voice when Hydraxhide talks, you're doing it right my friend."He was doing something with Matanui's trailer. He has Mataus with him." Crashinator explained, happy to have someone to talk to, even if it was Hydraxhide.They turned a corner past a pile of parts and found Kopatchet making weaponry. Mataus was nearby trying to use a piece of it."And here... we.... go!" Kopatchet said, finishing the part he was working on. He lifted it up and examined his work. "That's not a bad one you got there Kopatchet." Hydraxhide said, standing behind him. He startled Kopatchet when he said it."Aggh!" Kopatchet said, turning around and pointing the gun at Hydraxhide. "Oh, it's just you and Crashinator." Kopatchet said, lowering the gun."Who did you think it was?" Hydraxhide said rather rudely, lowering his own guns. Crashinator got out from under a piece of wrecked something."You can never be too careful. Mataus tried the same thing on me." Kopatchet said, tweaking something on the gun."I was calling out to find you the entire time, and you still didn't notice me!" Mataus said."Oh come now, it's hardly fitting to be like that now." Kopatchet said, pulling something on the gun that made a cracking sound, then the gun fired and put a 10 foot wide hole in the roof. "No, no, that's not right...." Kopatchet said, putting the thing he pulled back into place."Right then..." Hydraxhide said, who decided he had better things to do than get accidentaly killed by Kopatchet.THE FIELD WHERE THE WRECKINATOR'S SHIP IS KEPTThe invisible ship of the Wreckinators, the ibrow, sat motionlessly, as you would expect from a space ship. Nearby, not to look suspicious, the 112 foot tall Omega Kaita stood as still as he could, trying to look like a statue. It wasn't exactly working.On the ship however, something, or rather, a group of someones, were trying to escape unnoticed by the giant Autotoabot. So far, the were succeding. They were THE DREADINATORS!"You know Crowdax, I still think your new choice of name for us is stupid." Said Crankdok, a black and spiky Deceptikuta who had dread-locks."And you know what, Crankdok? You're not the leader, so you don't have a voice in the matter." said Crowdax, a black and spiky Deceptikuta who didn't have dread-locks.Trust me, it's not that hard to confuse the two of them. And if I do, well, it's not like you're gonna notice.Hatchback (couldn't resist calling him that) look at his leader with annoyance. "Everyone knows us as the Dreadinators! You didn't need to change it tinhead!" Hatchback said. Hatchback walked liked a dog, but was spiky and dangerous looking. All three Deceptikuta turned into black GMC Suburbans. "We're the Dread Avengers now! That's what I want us to be!" Crowdax responded."I'm still calling us the Dreadinators." Crankdok said."So am I, and everybody else." Hatchback agreed.Crowdax growled. "Fine. But whenever you guys want to change the name, we're not gonna do it." he said."I didn't think we would have it changed." Hatchback said."Enough of this. What does Swiftinock want us to do on this stupid rock anyways?" Crankdok asked."First we gotta go to Flufskiron and report that we made it here. Then we gotta capture Norik Prime, but not really." Crowdax said."How can we not really capture someone?" Hatchback asked."I'll explain later. Let's get out of here before Omega Kaita sees us." Crowdax said, transmocing."First smart thing you've said all day." Crankdok said, transmocing as well. Hatchback laughed at what Crankdok said, then transmoced and followed them as they drove off.END OF CHAPTER NEXT TIME: JALLER AND 12345 MEET AGAIN! OR NORIK AND MATANUI VIEW METRU-NUI! ONE OF THOSE AND THE DREADINATORS MEETING FLUFSKIRON AND SHOCKVAK! MTL

You know what they say: make an Optimus, make a Megatron!I think you've got the ROTF look pretty well, with only the waist looking a bit off, but that might just be because of the photo's angle. To be honest, I really don't have any complaints about this guy. You did a good job with him.Actually I notice that his leg connection doesn't look all that strong. Is it? I myself always had trouble with large MOCs and legs.MTL
