Monacus Olympic Racing, June 10 2009 [June 7, 1997] Race Track code and @emits by Rodimus Prime @ TF2005 You walk towards the Marketplace. Central Plaza You find yourself within the very heart of Monacus, the glittering resort and casino world. Myriad stimuli attack your senses as you look around -- the blazing lights of advertisements, the clamor of street vendors, the blaring of horns in the crowded streets. Several vendors rush over to you, seeing your confused look, and promptly begin offering to show you to the best resort in town. Enjoy your stay, and try not to lose too much money while you're here! A shining new shuttle terminal can be seen at the far end of the plaza. Obvious exits: West leads to Commerce Avenue. East leads to Monacus Spaceport. Southwest leads to Traveller's Haven. Southeast leads to Carnival District. North leads to Casino Strip. Galvatron is marching at the head of a large column of decepticons, two flag bearers are behind him, 3 trumpeters are behind them, and the rest of the group is marching in step behind them. Cyclonus begins the words in time with the trumpets, the words of a decepticon song of battle sounding in time with the thundrous cadence of their march,.... Gridlock trumpets in perfect lockstep. Hun-Grrr marches. The imperial theme is blasted by the three trumpeters, resounding off the buildings and reverberating through the streets Breakdown carries a banner as he marches, looking rather imperial. Exodus blows a trumpet behind gridlock Vertigo carries one of the two main banners, in perfect step with Flanker. Galvatron walks down the road towards the arena, in step with the others, smirking slightly as he walks past Rodimus wordlessly, and heads into the coliseeum Rodimus Prime snorts softly to himself and shakes his head, lifing his chin slightly to count heads as the procession passes. Ramjet marches, carying a placard with the Aerospace insignia. Shockwave comes in from the Spaceport to the east. Shockwave has arrived. Shockwave blankly pans the scene. Flanker steps back slightly to allow Shockwave into the procession with little detraction from the march. Arachnae keeps in step with the others, a faint smile on her face. Galvatron leaves to the Casino Strip to the north. Galvatron has left. You head north to the brand-new stadium. Olympic Stadium Vast and large, this circular stadium is to house the main events for the Monacus Olympics. Stands surround the center field, with chairs ranging from small sizes to much larger ones, able to seat Transformers of nearly every size. In the very center of the stadium is a raised platform about 30 meters (100 feet) on each side, obviously some sort of fighting arena. Ringing this platform is a wide, level expanse with different numbered rows, which borders the outside of the stands. And yet there is still a lot of empty space in the arena. Outside of the stadium are abandoned buildings, the remains of an area that Pangalactic Industries is in the process of rebuilding. Obvious exits: West leads to Monacus Highrise Hotel. South leads to Last Chance Alley. East leads to PGI Office Block. Trigger idly twitches her tail. Flashbulb transmits a message via radio to Backlash. Backlash receives a radio transmission. Cybertronian Hovercar GAKS as Galvatron entered the Stadium Junkcycle says, "YACK!" Rodimus Prime slips in off to the side of the crazy Decepticon parade, shaking his head. Exodus enters blowing a trumpet in military procession behind gridlock. Gridlock enters, in time with the other Decepticons, playing the Decepticon March on his trumpet. HoverCadillac watches Exy follow Gridlock. Junk_Cycle says, "Talk about your freak show Backy, but we was born to be wild and we are bad to the bone." Galvatron is marching at the head of a long column of Decepticons, cyclonus marching in step with him. Behind him are vertigo and flanker, carrying two massive con flags. Behind them are 3 trumpeters belting out the imperial theme. Behind them are everyone else, marching in step, singing or humming the imperial theme. Breakdown walks in, carrying a banner, that reads, 'Kindness is No Virtue, Cruety no vice.' Deadeye plays the lower tones of the march. Vertigo walks in perfect step with Flanker, banner held high. Junk_Cycle has Born to be Wild blaring on her 8-track player. Junkcycle says, "Yeah, but life in the fast line, is shurely make you lose yer mind!" Ramjet marches smartly in formation, covered in black spikes and carrying an Aerospace : Doom from above placard HoverCadillac quietly waits at the starting line, in the third row. Hun-Grrr is marching and mouthing the words to the Imperial theme. Ramjet shouts along to the words he can remember. The Hovercar rises up and transforms into that fast Autobot, Blurr. Arachnae signs softly along, in tune and above her usual whisper. Galvatron marches the procession slowly around the inside of the stadium, slowing particularly by the bot stands so the turmpeters can really blare the music at them. John Madison has connected. Flanker keeps a careful six paces behind his commander as he follows him around the stadium. Deadeye wonders what ever happened to training these days,as he plays. Junk_Cycle says, "BACKY LOOK! OUR FAVE DRAG KING IS HERE!" Arcee shows up behind the Decepticons,having lingered behind at the terminal. She hurridly moves toward the stands, at the same time, trying not to get too close. Backlash transmits a message via radio. Flashbulb receives a radio transmission. Shockwave unassumingly, is the last Decepticon to enter finding it more worth his time to watch the festivities then participate. Rodimus Prime mutters to himself, "... at least... guys... me to..." You mutter to yourself, "Well, at least they're enthusastic. You guys keep showboating, less for me to worry about." Breakdown continues to wave his banner-pole in the air, with the 'Kindness is No Virture, Cruelty Is No Vice' quote on it. Vertigo sinhs quietly, staying in step with Flanker. Cyclonus's baritone voice resounds over the stadium, coupled with the voices of the others,.... Ramjet sneers sideways at the crowd as he marches round, keeping watch for likely competition/oponents in the rows. Gridlock continues his march, trumpet blaring. Exodus takes in all the new smells blaring her trumpet. Trigger hmpths and just works on cleaning the emblems upon her wings. John Madison talks idly with his pit crew Junk_Cycle is racing around the track with Backlash and switches her 8- track to Dude looks like a Lady. Deadeye just plays. Blurr mutters to Firestone, "... muchm..." Breakdown's semi-stammering voice can be heard in the background. HoverCadillac says, "Yep." You hear a shout from The stands... Junkcycle plays, "Material girl" as he shoots around the track. Arcee looks about the crowd for Rodimus. Blurr chuckles at the Junkions Phoenix arrives from the Last Chance Alley. Phoenix has arrived. Hun-Grrr growls at any Junkions he sees while marching. Junkcycle says, "Heeeey Flashy! Rain on the parade!" Galvatron marches the column around the stadium, and once the cycle is complete, he marches everyone into the center, moving slowly so all keep pace. He stops in the center and motions for those following him to form a line abreast of him..forming one huge line that faces the autobot- stands. Trigger's receptors twist toward the stands. She rises up to her full size and lets out a return yell, which is more of a shrill hawk call mixed with that of a lion's roar. Exodus twitches her tail trying to look..well military like. that horn sure looks tasty though. Lord Gycony smirks down at the procession from his balcony, turning to mutter a few words to a hulking bodyguard, who nods and slips out of view behind some drapery. He places his hands on the railing in front of him, watching the festivities with a greedy gleam in his eyes. Flanker mutters to Vertigo, "... colored... over... is... Prime... leader of..." Galvatron intones "Line abreast!" Rodimus Prime reaches out to tag Arcee by the elbow, standing in the shadow to one side of the stands. Gridlock forms up in the line. Ramjet forms into line, spiked fists clenched around his placard, holding it like a club. Vertigo blinks her optics, glancing slightly out of the corner of her optic. HoverCadillac says, "Breast? Who lost their breast?" Hun-Grrr moves to form the line. Blast Off has arrived. Deadeye forms a line too. Junk_Cycle says, "Yes the rain is coming down on our parade. Well now we got the parade of freaks this is worst than big top pee wee." Phoenix does also Galvatron waits untill everyone has formed the line, trumpets still blaring. Blast Off jumps from the stands and strides proudly to the line. Flanker falls into a line formation after Cyclonus, holding the flag slightly higher. Breakdown foolws along next to whoever he's near, possibly near Exodus, to keep an optic on her. Phoenix has left. Junkcycle says, "Yeah Flashy! Let's give 'em a kickstand ttrip!" Arachnae stays in line with her fellows, wings tucked in tightly... and seeming to want to be elsewhere. Breakdown follows, too. Vertigo [to Flanker]: He couldn't be any older than I.. what happened to Optimus Prime? Cyclonus turns, snapping to attention,... Vertigo falls in step with the rest. Exodus moves into position, following the cons imitating. Galvatron waits untill are in place, then holds up his hand to stop the march, and for silence Gridlock ceases playing. Ramjet stops shouting Exodus perks her head and eats her trumpet. Breakdown stands at full attention, the banner of 'Kindness is No Virtue, Cruelty is No Vice' waving in the wind. Junkcycle cuts short, and puts down teh horn. Arachnae freezes, wings flicking once. Powerglide leans against the stand, arms crossed, glare on his face. Vertigo falls completely silent, banner waving, the emblem crisp and clear. Hun-Grrr stops marching. Breakdown silently groans at Exodus, but still standing right. Deadeye falls motionless. Across the way, a lone Argonian trumpeter bleats a few extra notes into the silence before abashedly lowering his instrument. Ramjet spots powerglide and smiles coldly. Junk_Cycle stops as the sound of the general lee fills the stadium and giggles as she stops over by Backlash. Galvatron waits for complete silence from his ranks, then shouts toward the stands, the autobot section in particular "Members of the Galactic olympics, the Decepticon Empire has arrived!! May fate have mercy on your event participants!" Junkcycle smirks.... Blurr smirks Backlash transmits a message via radio. Flashbulb receives a radio transmission. Galvatron turns toward his forces, and lowers his hand "Dismissed! You may take to the stands." Backlash transmits a message via radio. Flashbulb receives a radio transmission. Exodus says, "err me too right?" Gycony leans out over the balcony, "Now then, Mr Galvatron, we're all here to play the games, not start a war... just be sure you've all paid your entrance fees!" Super Starship arrives from the Last Chance Alley. Super Starship has arrived. Flanker nods at Galvatron, then steps back, waiting to post the colors near whereever he sits. Gridlock looks at Gycony then back at Galvatron. Cyclonus makes an abrupt turn, marches a few steps, as in a parade square,.. then turns, and walks over to Galvatron,.... Breakdown nods to Exodus. "Y-yes, we take t-to the stands.." has he lowers the banner somewhat. Astrotrain transforms into his fair-sized robot mode almost instantly. Junk_Cycle sings, "Back at the finish line engines thumbing and something something." Vertigo nods, and follows Flanker to post her guidon. Exodus skittles to the stands Galvatron throws a withering stare at Gycony, and walks over to him, intending to pay the fetid-man personally Junkcycle says, "Aww, sure." Blast Off has left. Deadeye has left. Breakdown follows behind Exodus. Hun-Grrr walks over to the stands. Ramjet falls out and heads back to the ship to get his stuff Arachnae makes her wait to the stands, peering about with intense curiousity.. moving slowly. Ramjet leaves to Last Chance Alley. Ramjet has left. Hun-Grrr has left. Exodus has left. Gycony is just above eye level with Galvatron from his balcony. Junk_Cycle pops in Cake's 'Going the Distance' on and starts to blare it at many lound disables Junkcycle does a trickdriving flip. Breakdown has left. Junkcycle says, "Check it! Twister!" Vertigo has left. Gridlock has left. Junk_Cycle says, "Oooh, got a new stunt to show you. Twister I can like do that dude!" HoverCadillac quietly lowers to the ground, setting in place... She whines her jet turbines up, until she barely scrapes forward. Flanker straightens after posting the colors for Galvatron, then slips into their section of the stands. Junkcycle says, "Lay it on me sister! Lay me some rubber!" Flanker has left. Junk_Cycle pulls off a stunt twist in the air, "Weee!" Arachnae takes her own sweet time. Junkcycle says, "OOH! Not half bad!" Junkcycle says, "Try this!" Galvatron reaches up with a credit-debit-pad, handing it to Gycony roughly, almost pounding it into his hand, hissing insidiously as he does so "We have paid our fees, Gycony. Now, live up to your end of the agreement and ensure these games are legitimate and not infested with Quintesson filth! It is certainly in your best interests to comply. If not, the results could be...unfortunate." Junkcycle skids around,a nd does a wild spin in the air, tumbling amd landing on his back wheel! Gycony smirks. "I assure you, Mr Galvatron, there will be no such interference from the Quintessons. They did not, after all, pay." Galvatron sends out a small amount of electricity from his hand- discharges as he pays to give the slimebag a little, but not inconsequential jolt of pain Junkcycle says, "Now, watch this!" Cyclonus stands several lengths behind galvatron,.. arms crossed over his chest,... Gycony slips the credit pad into the voluminous folds of his robe, folding his hands smugly over his impressive girth. Junk_Cycle pulls off the same stunt as Backlash and chuckles, "They need Junky stunts!" Junkcycle zooms up, does a jump, TF's mid air, somersaults, and tfs back just before he pows into teh ground. Galvatron turns in place, and walks back to the Decepticon stands Shockwave impassively takes note of all that transpires with canny awareness. Blurr looks at Everybody Astrotrain has left. Cyclonus turns as galvatrons passes, falling into step with him,.... John Madison taps on his car, waiting... Cyclonus has left. Gycony jumps back slightly, glaring after the Decepticon leader. He motions back to the shadows behind the drapery, speaking something to the hulking bodyguard lurking back there. Junkcycle says, "Flashblub! Classic junkystunt Tandem!" Galvatron has left. Junkcycle says, "Hop a ride, and switch in midair!" Junk_Cycle follows suit as she does a jump into the air transforms and pulls off a sumersault and then lands as she transforms, "Just as good as you! Junkystunts oh lets see if we can have scranized swiming. Junk_Cycle says, "Um sure!" Junkcycle grins, and stops. "Get on, lady!" The Junk_Cycle shouts, "Flashbulb, Junkinize!!" And with that, she leaps up and transforms into Flashbulb, Junkion media persona! Junkcycle says, "We'll do a jump, and switch places!" Flashbulb says, "Sounds good bacon." Junkcycle says, "And everyone knows, that's what's shakin bacon!" ================================ In Your Area ============================= Rodimus Prime [A] Blurr [A] Powerglide [A] Backlash [J] Arcee [A] Trigger [A] Arachnae [D] Firestone [A] John Madison [T] Flashbulb [J] Shockwave [D] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Flashbulb has left. Flashbulb jumps on the bike. Junkcycle Zoooomz around the track, skids agains the sides,and sails thru the air! Ramjet arrives from the Last Chance Alley. Ramjet has arrived. From atop the bike, Flashbulb says, "Okay lets do our super dooper stunty stuff. Now my turn!" Redfire arrives from the Last Chance Alley. Redfire has arrived. Redfire strides into the room. Junkcycle says, "NOW baaaaabee!" From atop the bike, Flashbulb leaps off Backlash as he leaps into the air and transforms. Flashbulb jumps off the bike. Flashbulb has arrived. Flashbulb says, "Cycle mode!" And she transforms into a Junk_Cycle, and is ready to move out. The FrankenCycle seems to shake. Legs move out from its rusted sides and the oddly shaped forks that hold the wheels slide out into arms. The front moves out, and reveals a head. The robot stands and looks around, with a slightly crazed look on his face. Yep. That's Backlash. Backlash lands on The femme. Backlash has left. Backlash climbs onto the PhotoCycle, and takes a seat. Junk_Cycle says, "I got you babe!" Powerglide looks around the stadium idly, awaiting annoucement of the air races. Arcee stands near Rodimus, looking around quietly. Lord Gycony returns to the railing, clapping his bejewelled hands together. Though the sound is insignificant, several Monacus officials catch the visual signal and move out from the corners of the stadium to take up security positions, bracing their halberds impressively against the ground before them. Junk_Cycle lands on the ground to close to someone she doesn't want to and brings up some of the mud onto that big purple goon as she makes a break for it, "You go junky baby you to bad Pak couldn't come." Redfire walks in and looks around Arachnae has left. Backlash climbs off of the PhotoCycle. Backlash has arrived. Backlash saunters in. Ramjet has arrived. Backlash shakes and turns into his cycle mode. His arms fold in and become the forks for his front tire, and his head folds into his Kawasaki Ninja front. His legs slide in, revealing his Harley Davidson exhaust system. A patchwork bike sits before you, covered with bumper stickers. Firebird arrives from the Last Chance Alley. Firebird has arrived. Junkcycle jumps and TFs. Ramjet has left. Junk_Cycle brings it and launchs as she hits the 300 mph mark and leaps into the air. Firebird has left. Trigger receives a radio transmission. Junk_Cycle says, "Check this out babe!" Junkcycle oohs! and launches too, jumping over her. Flashbulb speaks into her wrist communicator, "SkyFort, this is Flashie Bulbhead, beam me down the Hornet aerial system." Her communicator beeps, "Flashie, this is Krystal at SkyFort, beaming Hornet now.." Flashbulb stands and shouts, "Power Extreme!" as she is encompassed by a gold light. A helicopter and camera pods appear from subspace, attaching themselves to sepcial area on her back and arms. Flashbulb's now ready to fly! Trigger transmits a message via radio. A few slimy-looking bookies traverse the crowd, offering odds on the first race. Trigger's ears perk up, then down. Trigger's backpanel flips up, her head and neck folding beneath it, while her wings flatten out horizontally as her legs fold and twist, her hind ones forming the looming gun batteries, forward ones and chest plate becoming the battering prow. Junk_Cycle flys around the room in her little outfit and chuckles, "Go,go Junk jets!" Junkcycle says, "AWW! Cheater!" Firestone transmits a message via radio to Arcee. Arcee receives a radio transmission. Arcee transmits a message via radio. Firestone receives a radio transmission. Trigger receives a radio transmission. Junk_Cycle cuts her engines as she falls to the ground on one tire, "Yeee haaww!" Arcee laughs at her radio and walks off to a small opening in the stadium walls. Junkcycle skids to a stop. Galvatron,... "Adjust Damn you, We're missing the Game." Junkcycle beesp his ari horn, that plays the bars to 'lowrider' Arcee returns in a few minutes, with three ticket stubs, which she places inside of a small compartment in her forearm, grinning broadly. You paged Redfire with 'It'll be the first event'. Junk_Cycle skids to a stop and transforms, "I think we did some good practiusing. The Junk_Cycle shouts, "Flashbulb, Junkinize!!" And with that, she leaps up and transforms into Flashbulb, Junkion media persona! Junkcycle says, "Me too!" The FrankenCycle seems to shake. Legs move out from its rusted sides and the oddly shaped forks that hold the wheels slide out into arms. The front moves out, and reveals a head. The robot stands and looks around, with a slightly crazed look on his face. Yep. That's Backlash. Arcee nudges Rodimus, She mutters to Rodimus Prime, "... enter... This... been nice..." You sense Arcee nudges Rodimus, "Now why didn't you enter again? This would have been nice to watch..." Redfire twists and turns down into a Red_Corvette,her red and black form gleams in the sun. Backlash says, "Let's go to teh Junky corner." Rodimus Prime mutters to Arcee, "... crowd? No thanks,... rather..." You whisper "Against that crowd? No thanks, I'd rather just watch." to Arcee. Backlash pushes Falshbulb. Flashbulb says, "And in this corner Backlash, who thought he could beat Mike Tyson!" Sunrunner has arrived. Backlash says, "I coulda been a contendah!" Sunrunner wanders in and pops in a goodie, "Am I too late to get in, sir?" Rodimus Prime shakes his head and waves Sunrunner toward the middle of the stadium. "No, you're just in time, I think..." Flashbulb gets down into smashball position and grunts, "Forty one, forty two, forty three HIKE!" Powerglide has disconnected. Backlash says, "SKOOSH!" Backlash runs at Flashbulb. Sunrunner makes her way over quickly, still munching idly on a goodie, "Good.. about time I can do something with my alt mode." Backlash succeeds in grasping Flashbulb, throwing her off-balance. Backlash rams into his counterpart. Flashbulb eeps and gets thrown into the mud and chuckles as he she goes to knock him over Arcee grins at Rodimus and nods. Gycony presses a button set in the rail of his balcony, his voice suddenly amplified several times over. "For our first event: Land Racing. Will the PAID contestants please take their places at the starting gate?" Blurr zips over to the Starting Gate Gridlock has arrived. Flashbulb misses Backlash with her grasp attack. Arcee mutters to Rodimus Prime, "... the stands,... you... someplace... out..." Arcee whispers "I'm going to the stands, I'll save you a seat... unless you have someplace planned to sit out here." John Madison has left. John Madison climbs into EDC Super Porche. Arcee receives a radio transmission. Breakdown has arrived. Scourge arrives from the Last Chance Alley. Scourge has arrived. Redfire twists and turns up into the warrior Redfire. Sunrunner transforms into the forward cab of a large hovertransport as the rest of her frame is shifted in from subspace. HoverCadillac quietly stays at her position on the grid. Backlash ducks the Flashbulb,a nd tries to bap her with a rubebr chicken he pulls out. Astrotrain has arrived. Mobile Defense Platform just rests next to the Porche, her engines off at the moment, tank treads gleaming in the light. Jumping up, Breakdown quickly shifts, contorts, and folds, landing with a *clang* on the ground, where now a White Countach sits. Blurr falls and collapses into a Cybrotronian hovercar. Backlash misses Flashbulb with his grasp attack. Gold HoverTransport rumbles up and takes two spots. Arcee transmits a message via radio. Gridlock hunches over, and his head sinks down into his torso. His legs appear to sink inside of him as his arms fold forward. Fenders slide over wheels, and you realize you are now looking at an innocuous-seeming taxicab. Redfire twists and turns down into a Red_Corvette,her red and black form gleams in the sun. Scourge receives a radio transmission. EDC Super Porche joins the race. Scourge transmits a message via radio. Astrotrain transforms into a massive Super Train. Scourge transmits a message via radio. Backlash shakes and turns into his cycle mode. His arms fold in and become the forks for his front tire, and his head folds into his Kawasaki Ninja front. His legs slide in, revealing his Harley Davidson exhaust system. A patchwork bike sits before you, covered with bumper stickers. Flashbulb says, "Cycle mode!" And she transforms into a Junk_Cycle, and is ready to move out. Super Locomotive expands into his Locomotive mode and pulls slowly up to the starting line. Scourge receives a radio transmission. Scourge has left. Gridlock receives a radio transmission. A flashy-looking alien with two heads and three arms steps up to the balcony at Gycony's side, a microphone in one hand. Current Race Participants: 1) Redfire 2) Firestone 3) Blurr 4) Gridlock 5) Breakdown 6) Trigger 7) Sunrunner 8) EDC Super Porche 9) Astrotrain Taxicab revs his engine. Cybertronian Hovercar revs his engine loudly Super Locomotive thrusters his wheels forward and back, digging a small groover for himself. Sandstorm transforms into a rugged, shining robot with an overconfident glint in his eye. Sandstorm looks around, "Where's the smashball signup? Did I miss it?" Red Corvette revs her engine Gold HoverTransport's cab trembles as she prepares to rumble, rising on her thrusters. EDC Super Porche sits idle, waiting for the start engine signal Arcee has left. Sandstorm has left. Junkcycle says, "Let's Mad Max this one!" Mobile Defense Platform 's engine roars to life as she prepares herself. Junkcycle pulls up next to Flashbulb, "Good luck! And remeber, friends don't let friends drive Junks." From inside the EDC Super Porche, John Madison turns the key, and the ignition turns over. EDC Super Porche's engine rumbles to life. Trigger transmits a message via radio. Blurr receives a radio transmission. Junkcycle looks at Blurr. HoverCadillac quietly keeps her turbines to speed, only keeping the hoverfans off to stop her from streaking down the track. EDC Super Porche revs up, a powerful roar echoes through the stadium Junk_Cycle says, "Okay Backlash!" The flashy two-headed alien raises the microphone to one set of lips, his other head reading over the race listings. His voice thunders through the arena. "WELCOME, one and all to the Monacus Olympic Raceway! My name is Brox and I'll be your announcer for the evening! Are we ready? Let's hear some encouragement for our racers from the stands there!" Junk_Cycle reves up her own engine as the two little jets come to life and she prepares to beat these losers. Junkcycle hmms. Cybertronian Hovercar says, "HurryUpHurryUpCommonPeopleWeDoNotHaveAllCentury." Mobile Defense Platform says, "Him" Junkcycle quotes in Astrotrain's voice, "My momma is a hamster!" You hear a shout from The stands... Gold HoverTransport rumbles quietly. Super Locomotive begins flooding his main three thrusters to the rear of his engine compartment with energon. With the infusion of energy, they begin to glow a bright purple as flames of plasma begin emitting from them. Mobile Defense Platform rumbles on herself, prepared to do all she can, her sidewings sliding back slightly for some purpose. Junk_Cycle giggles to Backlash and quips in Astrotrain's voice, "My mom is a toaster Backlash." White Countach Lambourghini reeeeevs, his hood bouncing and an odd noise begining to emit from his engines. "C-c-c'mon.." he REEEEEEEEEEEEEVs his engine, sounding oddly like Drag Strip. Junkcycle looks..somewhat pathetic next to the heavy engienes. You hear a shout from The stands... "You...!" Taxicab activates his headlights, switching to high beams. He revs his engine again. Red Corvette revs her engine, getting ready for the race You hear a shout from The stands... "... GO... RILE... UNDER!!! GET... AND... VICTORIOUS!!!!!" Junk_Cycle seems very pathetic next to it also. All four of Breakdown's headlights pop at once, turning on. Red Corvette listens to the shouts Red Corvette turns on her headlights Brox leans out over the edge of the railing on two hands, shifting the microphone to his third. "Are all the racers in position? Let's see, for this event we have: From the Decepticon Empire, Gridlock, Breakdown, and Astrotraaaaiiin! Representing the Autobots, Firestone (ain't she lovely, folks), Blurr, Trigger and Sunrunner! Earth's John Madison is down there in that fancy-looking Porche, and our independent entry, Redfire! Gentlefolks, ARE YOU READY?" Junkcycle says, "HAY!" Junk_Cycle says, "Hey you forgot the Junkies!" Taxicab revs his engine to a dangerous whine. Super Locomotive revs his thrusters to the rear to signify he is indeed ready to whoop some aft. Junkcycle says, "Sunnuva Monky!" Gold HoverTransport's engines rumble loudly next to the train. Junkcycle says, "WHATTA BOUT US!!!!!" Junk_Cycle says, "Sunnuva, a monkey's uncle." White Countach Lambourghini's shape and form trembles, several cracks forming in the ground and track around him. Super Locomotive shouts, "You suck, be quiet!". Brox grins down at the Junkions, "You want in? Step on up to the line there, folks." Junkcycle hmms,a nd yells in Brox's voice, "and last but teh best! The Junkions, Flashbulb and backlash!!!!" Junk_Cycle comes up to the line next to Backlash as she giggles, "May the force be with you Luke." HoverCadillac says, "Go, Flashy!" Skids arrives from the Last Chance Alley. Skids has arrived. Skids steps into view with a smile. Cybertronian Hovercar revs his engine ... You hear a shout from The stands... "... bracka firecracker shish... Decepticons,... RAH RAHHHHHHHH!!!!" HoverCadillac says, "Best of luck, everyone. And I mean it." Skids has left. Breakdown greeeeeeeevs, sounding oddly like a cross of something growling and revving at the same time. He mutters to himself, "... d- don't... down,... damage..." Taxicab says, "You're dead meat, Firestone." Junkcycle beeps and stuff. Gold HoverTransport rumbles loudly. Super Locomotive smirks to himself and emits, "Say goiodnight, Blurr..." Junk_Cycle says, "Gridlock, your roast beef." Mobile Defense Platform chuckles, "I'll only damage anyone who goes afte rme.... or any other Autobot..." Cybertronian Hovercar says, "LEEEEETSGETTHISGOINGALREADY" Mobile Defense Platform says, "Him" Red Corvette stays quiet and just revs her engine Junkcycle says, "Gridlock, your tires untied!" Gridlock mutters to Blurr, "... let the... die,..." Super Locomotive smirks again, as he has no tires. Brox seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself. "First person to pass five laps is the winner! Start your engines! Mr referee, the green flag..." White Countach Lambourghini grrevs at Blurr. Junk_Cycle says, "Gridlock, I can teach your grandmother how to suck eggs and away I go!" Taxicab rocks back and forth. HoverCadillac revs her V-8 up.... Holds steady at 4800 RPM... White Countach Lambourghini greevs at the junk-cycle. "..W-wonder i-if that thing has a-any parts of a-a Gremlin in it.." Junkcycle turns on the peice of crap engine he has. Junkcycle says, "Nope. Pinto parts." The ref raises the green flag high above his head, holding it for a tense moment of suspense, then drops it, just as Brox exclaims, "And there's the signal! They're off!" HoverCadillac slips her clutch. Cybertronian Hovercar ZOOOOMS out as soon as the green flag is dropped. Taxicab leaps forward. Junkcycle peels out. Mobile Defense Platform jerks forward as hard as she can, treads hitting the ground with a low clanking noise. Gold HoverTransport launches outwards. Junk_Cycle brings her engine up to the red line as her engines fill the room and it pops before she slips into the gear and flys out. Junkcycle says, "YEEEEEEEHAW!!!!!!!!" Red Corvette peels forward HoverCadillac's fans kick in, and she ROARS off, jets screaming. White Countach Lambourghini's tires sqqueal, smoke raising from them as he zooooooomes forward. Super Locomotive fires his thrusters to maximum burst as soon as the flag falls, and you think maybe just before it falls. Pulling out as fast as he can, he directly pulls closer to blurr... You hear a shout from The stands... "DECEPTICONS!! TAKE THEM!!" Junkcycle says, "HEY! CHOO CHOO TRAIN COMIN' DOWN THE TRACK!" Junk_Cycle comes towards Backlash as she trys to get past him, "Hey got an idea lets go beat Astrobutt." You hear a shout from The stands... " HEY THIS IS A RACE NOT A COMBAT PIT! !" Cybertronian Hovercar slowly speeds up faster and faster Super Locomotive shouts, "Gridlock! Team effort coming up on us, retaliate!" Taxicab swerves across the lanes toward Firestone. Junkcycle says, "mash em crash em trash em in the dust! Yeah team yeah tem win we must!" Mobile Defense Platform rolls forward, picking up speed. Red Corvette zooms forward, gettitng faster and faster The racers speed around the track.... Junkcycle hits his 350 mph max. The scoreboard lights up with the new race standings. Gold HoverTransport rumbles heavily, a slight bluish green light forming.

She's good at that. When the turn cuts in, she spins sideways, and uses her turbines to break and turn. Super Locomotive's wheels churn and churn, but most of his speed is coming from the 5 jet-thrusters on his rear. Gridlock tries to ram into Flashbulb, without much success. Junkcycle says, "Ready! Gome on flashers, Smear teh queer!" Gold HoverTransport cuts and swerves, giggling, "This like being back home!" Taxicab swerves across the track. Red Corvette hits the turns and screeches aruond it, she slows slight;ly to keep control Super Locomotive tries to steamroll Blurr early.

Mobile Defense Platform charges ahead, seeing no-one in particular she wishes to go after, simply speeding up. Junkcycle hmms.... Brox rattles off positioning like a madman. "And taking the early lead, BLURR! With Firestone hot on his bumper. The rest of the field is packed here... looks like the Junkions coming up in a close third, neck and neck.. Redfire, off to a slow start, trailing." Cybertronian Hovercar eventually gets up to his max speed, breaking the sound barrier in the process, only slowing down to corner.

Gold HoverTransport pulls forward, and guns her engines, trying to shove her way past Gridlock. Junkcycle says, "Sorry, no scum! Will I do?" Mobile Defense Platform grumbles, watching as everyone else tries to destroy everyone else, and simply trying to remain ahead and as an obstacle. HoverCadillac launches down the backstretch, rerouting most of her V8's power to superboost the turbines, coming close to bottoming out, leaving her hoverfans at a bare minimum. Taxicab fishtails wildly. Sunrunner crashes forcefully into Gridlock! From inside the EDC Super Porche, John Madison says, "Let's see who's faster robots!" Junkcycle says, "MOOSH!" Red Corvette presses down harder to catch up to the cons in front of her Super Locomotive grrs and speeds up a bit, trying to catch up to his favorite target in the world, Trigger. Cybertronian Hovercar comes up on the group again and makes his way through them without trying to get killed in the process. Gold HoverTransport crunches Gridlock under her full size 9 frame and races on. White Countach Lambourghini hrrrms, getting an idea. He pulls back, still on two tires. He then falls back onto all four, then turning over to land on his hood, then flipping over again to land on all fours, trying to push the Junk_cycle into the wall. Junk_Cycle says, "Scum no that isn't me" She steers out of the way as Backlash comes in and moves down the backstretch as she then starts to bring on one of the engines, "Go,go speed flashbulb Go!"" Blurr rounding the second corner..." Brox rattles on, "Looks like Gridlock's taking a pounding down there, and up ahead we have Blurr rounding the second corner..."

Brox cries excitedly, "It's still Blurr in the lead with Firestone hot on his tail! Pack's starting to break up here, Breakdown taking a decisive third place as Gridlock seems to've lost ALL his momentum..." Red Corvette speeds past astro and sunnrunner, and heads towards back, attempting to get past him Gold HoverTransport rumbles on forward, pulling up behind Redfire and blaring her horn loudly! Super Locomotive grahs as Trigger pulls out ahead of him as he rounds the track, cutting into the pavement with his sharp metal wheels.

Cybertronian Hovercar slows down from mach 1 to turn, then speeds back again after the turn, causing yet another sonic boom in the process. You hear a shout from The stands... "Get...!" Super Locomotive takes another corner hard as he starts skidding roughly along the pavement. Looking for a way to get around Sunrunner, he stays behind the large vehicle. White Countach Lambourghini reverse-crashes into Trigger, and then pulls forward again, turning his engine on high. Junkcycle says, "MOVE EM UP! RAWHIDE!" Junkcycle tries to swoosh forward, at max speed. EDC Super Porche accelerates, trying to get position behind Breakdown, drafting him. Brox exclaims, "OHH! And Trigger takes a hit!

Strafe enters, optics glancing around nervously. Junkcycle screeches around, fire flaring from his back. White Countach Lambourghini reeeeevs, still keeping in third for now, threatening to crash into anything that tries to crash into him.

Junkcycle says, "ACK! this is racing, not bumperbots!" Super Locomotive rounds the corner and fires his three main thrusters as hard as he can, aiming at the EDC mobile once moe. Mobile Defense Platform gets behind Gridlock and CRUSHES him from behind. Junkcycle says, "Lovely day, ain't it, Firestoney?" EDC Super Porche pulls around, accelerating HoverCadillac's CD player is now churning out "Can't Surf." Red Corvette speeds past flashbulb who suddenly drops to try and get her, swertving to advoid her Gold HoverTransport and Trigger crush Poor Gridlock between their twin frames. EDC Super Porche tries to ram into Astrotrain, without much success. HoverCadillac says, "Ah, roger that... Watch out for the turn... I don't want to clip you with a fin." Junkcycle swerves around, trying to shake off gridlock, hoping not to hit stone...... Red Corvette speeds over to backlash in an attempt to pass him Cybertronian Hovercar quickly advances on Breakdown, scratching a few more walls in the process. Brox howls, "Blurr SCREAMING through the pack in first, somebody stop that boy! Firestone and Backlash are still duking it out for second place, Flashbulb a distant fourth. Redfire fifth, Sunrunner sixth, then Madison, Astrotrain and Breakdown trailing. I don't know what happened to Gridlock and Trigger, looks like they're more busy fighting than racing!" Taxicab's right rear wheel is wobbling dangerously... and a horrible grinding noise is emanating from under his hood. The smoke from his hood now reveals small tongues of flame from the engine compartment. He continues, however... Super Locomotive gets rammed in the back by his own kin. "You wanna scrap, we can scrap!", and slams the breaks, hoping Breakdown will fly into him. Astrotrain tries to ram into Breakdown, without much success. Junk_Cycle misses and trys to move away from Redfire who wouldn't do to well if she trys to do anything and trys to past her as she is moving at full speed, "Hey Gridlock, Galvpants made a pass at you. You gotta look Quick!" Redfire crashes forcefully into Backlash! Astrotrain receives a radio transmission. White Countach Lambourghini's anti-grav kicks in as Astrotrain slows down, and he flies OVER the Train, landing in front and zooming forward. He shouts out, "Thanks!" Junkcycle yells in Brox's voice, "Trigger, Grids? There in another time zone! YOPWCH!!!!! Astrotrain transmits a message via radio to Hun-Grrr. Junkcycle says, "DOH!" Taxicab tries to swerve at the Junk_Cycle, but can't get away from Sunrunner and Trigger. Red Corvette smashes into back and speeds past him Astrotrain receives a radio transmission. Super Locomotive grunts, as it takes ALOT to get his thrusters back up to speed again, especially with the drain they are already experiencing. Junk_Cycle chuckles as Gridlock trys to pass her and she laps him with ease and passes over him, "You silly con tricks are for Junks." Junkcycle putters around on the same junkycrap that junks get for their engines. Brox announces, "Thank you for the support from the peanut gallery -- did I mention our vendors have hot roasted Tarkadian peanuts for the low low price of 15 credits a box? And now, back to the race." Junkcycle says, "Silly Con, Tricks are for Junks!" Taxicab grates, "Next lap, Junkion!" The racers speed around the track.... You hear a shout from The stands... "... DECEPTICONS!!!!!!" Junkcycle wobbles a bit, but at 350 mph.....it bumps and suprises him. The scoreboard lights up with the new race standings. Current positions: 18) Astrotrain (lap 1) 17) Blurr (lap 3) 12) Firestone (lap 3) 10) Flashbulb (lap 2) 8) Trigger (lap 1) 7) Redfire (lap 2) 6) Sunrunner (lap 2) 4) Backlash (lap 3) 3) Breakdown (lap 2) EDC Super Porche (lap 2) 2) Gridlock (lap 1) Cybertronian Hovercar advances on Astrotrain, attempting to lap him. Gold HoverTransport grins and cacthes back up with Redfire. Red Corvette speeds towards trigger Mobile Defense Platform tries to pick up speed again, moving at under 300 mph in hr damaged condition, thankful for her powerful prow. Gridlock crashes forcefully into Breakdown! Redfire crashes forcefully into Trigger! Sunrunner crashes forcefully into Redfire! Taxicab says, "Gotcha, worm!" HoverCadillac takes one turn wide, and forces Backlash to back off a bit, then catches the groove easily.... Junkcycle says, "OOOH! four car pileup! 911 reporting hevy traffic!" EDC Super Porche moves around the crashes, accelerating! Mobile Defense Platform arghs and puts on the BREAKS suddenly and goes backwards toward the red car. Red Corvette crashes into trigger and passes her, then gets smashed into by sunrunner "oof!" Trigger tries to ram into Redfire, without much success. Super Locomotive saves his crashing for this round, and concentrates bringing his thrusters back up online to full speed, tearing up, literally, the track. Junk_Cycle says, "And the crowd goes wild as Flashbulb comes in around thepass rah! She comes and trys to pass Trigger and darts towards Redfire and lines her in her sights as she trys to leap her, "Junkions are going to bring back the gold!"" Taxicab yells at Breakdown, "Now STOP ramming our own!" Brox yells, "Looks like Firestone's making another bid for the lead! Blurr is still trucking along in first, how long can he keep it up? Backlash falls back to a distant third with Flashbulb a WAY distant fourth. GRIDLOCK WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? He's a good two laps behind the leaders!" Junkcycle says, "MUST TAKE SECOND!!!!!" White Countach Lambourghini reeeevs at Gridlock, bobbing his hood. He shouts out, "Might as well! You're being smashed up enough on your own!" Junkcycle says, "MUST....NOT..TALK..IN..FRAGMENTS!!!" Cybertronian Hovercar quickly passes Astrotrain HoverCadillac says, "MUST TAKE FIRST! Wheeeelah!" Red Corvette moves back from sunrunner and picks up and heads towards her to try and pay back EDC Super Porche crashes forcefully into Backlash! Junkcycle says, "SH*T" Brox squints, "We've got a pileup down there, looks like someone hit the brakes too fast." Junk_Cycle trys to come back towards Backlash as she is having fun not doing so bad and giggles, "Sh!t it happens!" EDC Super Porche smacks into backlash, making his presense known, get back!! HoverCadillac aims carefully for the pack she's going to run through in a few minutes... Astrotrain has disconnected. Mobile Defense Platform growls and tries to move on in determinateion alone, leaving a side panel on the road as she moves, "Gotta be hoverable some day...." Junkcycle says, "Now, we play smash crash and trash!" Mobile Defense Platform moves aside for the passing Autobots, her attention and sensors waiting for any Decepticon who dares to get too close. EDC Super Porche seems to be making a run again, keeping to the inside, now away from the crashes Red Corvette speeds after sunrunner "I'm going to get you!!" Junkcycle guns his engines again.....hitting the nitros..which are dying, for a burst of speed, to pull up! Taxicab is looking bad, some fluid leaving a thin trail behind him. Junk_Cycle is to far in to the back as she concentrates on Firestone, "Hey stoney look behind you silly gal cause Flashbulb is coming towards you." Gold HoverTransport drives quickly over the pileup, gunning her engines and surging forward. She races around the curve and away from the corvette as she jumps forward. Mobile Defense Platform snarls, "not before I get you.... we femmes work together..." She goes after Redfire. The racers speed around the track.... The scoreboard lights up with the new race standings. Junkcycle pushes speeds unheard of in a Junkion...... Red Corvette snickers "I was one of them!" Current positions: 19) Firestone (lap 3) 18) Flashbulb (lap 2) 9) Sunrunner (lap 2) 8) Trigger (lap 1) 7) Redfire (lap 2) Astrotrain (lap 2) 6) Blurr (lap 4) Gridlock (lap 1) EDC Super Porche (lap 2) 4) Backlash (lap 3) 3) Breakdown (lap 2) HoverCadillac lights her afterburners... She has afterburners? No, looks like she sucked in a pocket of someone's hydrocarbons... but it boosts her speed anyhow... Mobile Defense Platform changes her mind, and merely tries to keep ahead of everyone else and keep them away from the pack leaders. Red Corvette aims for trigger, her being closer "I'm going to get you!" Taxicab swerves as Blurr pulls alongside... Redfire crashes forcefully into Trigger! Gridlock tries to ram into Blurr, without much success. Mobile Defense Platform then decides the best thing to do, is slam on the breaks.. AGAIN as she is rammed into. Trigger crashes forcefully into Redfire! Junk_Cycle keeps moving with Firestone as she trys to pass her Cybertronian Hovercar cuts a corner and screams past Astrotrain, and Gridlock as he tries to ram into him Red Corvette smashes into trigger, passing her Junkcycle swerves at Blurr, "RAMMING SPEED!!!!!" Mobile Defense Platform stops that passing :> Flashbulb crashes forcefully into Firestone! Super Locomotive smirks as the two femme's beside and infront of him take each other out. He motors on, moving up two positions already. Junkcycle tries to zoom forward, to at leastread blurr's plates. Trigger and Gridlock finally seem to be making some progress, but trail several laps behind!" Brox exclaims, "And Blurr hits his final lap, well in the lead! Can he hold it, folks? Firestone several lengths behind in second, with Backlash a distant third, a full lap behind our leader! Trigger and Gridlock finally seem to be making some progress, but trail several laps behind!" HoverCadillac gets a backdraft from the cycle, and slides a bit. White Countach Lambourghini greeeeevs, trying to speed up. "..Ah..s- slaggit.." he says as he grumbles and sighs atthe same time, trying to smack into the person in front of him. Taxicab misjudges Blurr's speed and careens past Blurr and the EDC car, plowing into the outside wall of the track. His wobbling wheel breaks loose and rolls away. Junkcycle tires to pass old Firestone..... Gold HoverTransport races forward, her engines rumbling loedly as she feeds iot raw energon, and rumbles, wishing she could leave her trailer behind and race cab only, the 40 tons of energon goodies she is carrying not helping her much. Breakdown tries to ram into Backlash, without much success. Mobile Defense Platform attempts to roll ofrward again, right in the center of the track. The taxicab seems to suddenly rear up, like some sort of great beast. Sections of the cab split off and rotate away from each other. Hidden panels move aside, and limbs issue forth. You are no longer looking at a taxi, but at an imposing humanoid robot. Mobile Defense Platform isn't going very fast, but she's moving. Gridlock receives a radio transmission from Angelwing. Junkcycle says, "GAH!!!!!" Cybertronian Hovercar advances upon Astrotrain and Redfire now, cutting corners and gaining as much speed as possible ... Red Corvette gets hit by trigger and ends up very close to her agian Junkcycle says, "Slow up Stone! I'm out of gas!" Trigger shouts, "GO Sunrunner.....!! Go on BLURRR!!!!!!" HoverCadillac aims for the pack again... From inside the EDC Super Porche, John Madison examines the gauges closely. Gridlock rises to his robot mode. "All right, Autobots... now you will learn PAIN!" Red Corvette speeds forward in an attempt to get ahead of trigger HoverCadillac says, "Sorry, hon. I brake for nothing." Junkcycle vrooms after Blurr, desperately at least trying to take second........ Brox wipes his brows with one of his three hands and continues. "Flashbulb in fourth, Sunrunner fifth, Redfire and Astrotrain neck and neck for sixth. Madison is right behind them in eighth, Breakdown ninth, Trigger and Gridlock trailing." Junk_Cycle pulls away as she makes Firetsone uneasy and trys to come in her spot and puts on the Macrena on her 8-track player nobody seems to be bothering with her, "Well then go to Maco!" Super Locomotive decides he's got to do this now. He begins to pour, instead of energon into his engines, a raw octane-formula developed for him by Hook several weeks ago. His thrusters burst into almost an explosion as he nears 400 MPH once again. Gridlock begins to run along the track after his wheel. Red Corvette aims and pulls ahead of trigger, ending up close to astro Junkcycle says, "HEEEEEY JUNKARENA!!!!!!" Mobile Defense Platform snarls and goes after Redfire now, trying to crush the smalll car beneath her larger treads. EDC Super Porche accelerates along, a tight corner, looking for Blurr Junkcycle says, "Awww Shuttup you cons inna stands! You ain't even PLACING!" Junkcycle says, "EAT MY DUST BIRDBRAINS!!!!!" You hear a shout from The stands... "... of the...!" Super Locomotive shouts back, "Because some of us decided to ram our own. BREAKDOWN, perhaps?" Junk_Cycle uses her engines that pac-gore install into her and brings her up to 400 mhr, "Least we are having lots of fun toads." Junkcycle says, "Gots that rights, cats!" Mobile Defense Platform suddenly decides to PARK in the middle of the road. Cybertronian Hovercar zips between Redfire and Astotrain, cutting another corner Mobile Defense Platform turns around, to face the pack. Junkcycle desperately tries to take second........ Gridlock snatches up his detached wheel. Junk_Cycle says, "Astrotrain, Galvypants wants you to go look for Shockwave's contact like he told you!" Junk_Cycle says, "Now do it yeah gimp." Red Corvette arims for blurr as he passes Super Locomotive says, "I'll bet he does!" Gold HoverTransport rumbles along, cab trembling as she goes around the corner, hugging in tightly. HoverCadillac goes into a long power slide across the third and fourth turns, engines burning lean... Brox laughs. "Looks like people are just hitting whoever's in reach, now! It's every life-form for himself down there, folks, and boy does that make me thirsty. Try some of our Croc-Ade sports quencher, on sale in the stands now." Junkcycle yells in Galvatron's voice, "I am a WUSSSSSSSSS!!!!! My mommy let me out to PLAYYYYY!" Junkcycle beeps to Galvy in the stands. White Countach Lambourghini greevs at Astrotrain. "Oh....g-go stuff some coal in your c-compartment, Astrotrain.." he says as he tries to speed up. Junk_Cycle says, "Good one Backlash!" Brox smirks as a vendor comes flying out of the stands, "Looks like someone didn't like their drink." Mobile Defense Platform 's engines roar as she prepares to ram into whoever comes around the bend. Junkcycle says, "Tankies!" The racers speed around the track.... The scoreboard lights up with the new race standings. Current positions: 19) Firestone (lap 3) 18) Sunrunner (lap 2) 17) Blurr (lap 4) 14) EDC Super Porche (lap 2) 13) Astrotrain (lap 2) Backlash (lap 3) 9) Gridlock (lap 1) 8) Trigger (lap 1) 7) Redfire (lap 2) 6) Breakdown (lap 2) 4) Flashbulb (lap 3) Super Locomotive says, "Remind me to have you demoted when we return to Earth, breakdown!" Red Corvette aims for trigger "I'll get you now!!" Redfire crashes forcefully into Trigger! HoverCadillac gets slowed down by Flashy's stunt, and the pack stays in front of her... Gold HoverTransport sees herself between Blurr and Firestone, and cheers, "GO GO GO!!!" Cybertronian Hovercar laps Astrotrain, Redfire, and trigger and cuts another corner, zooming towards Sunrunner HoverCadillac says, "Take care, Sunnyhon." Junkcycle says, "Hey Astrotrain! You are sSOOO stuipid, that wen you wanna turn things over in yer mind, ya stand on yer head!!!!" Trigger crashes forcefully into Redfire! Mobile Defense Platform snarls, "You want... to turn this .. into a free for all... let's go at it!!" Cybertronian Hovercar cuts the corner and uses it like a slingshot to further speed him towards the front of everybody Junk_Cycle comes in behind Breakdown, "Hey you know they are all looking at you and they know who you are." She beeps her horn at Galvatron, "Nice back of monkeys you got, but you need to train them better." Brox screams, "AND DOWN THE STRETCH HE COMES! Blurr, all alone in the lead, about to lap Firestone who's in second! He's already lapped Backlash in third, Flashbulb struggling along in fourth. Sunrunner fifth, Madison sixth, Redfire, Breakdown, and then Gridlock and Trigger, still trundling along in last place." Junkcycle says, "Hey Breakdown.....Yer femmebait! Wimpo!" Red Corvette ungs as she ends up in the same positon as before Super Locomotive smirks, and goes into semi-junk mode. "Fire Impulse engines!", he screams, and his thrusters virtually explode as he lurches forward, exceeding 400 MPH now in a fireball of speed. Junkcycle says, "Gridlock, you commander so stank, she knocks vultures off Crapwagons!" EDC Super Porche acclerates, seeing Astrotrain and Backlash again..hmmm.. Gridlock runs along the track in robot mode, clutching the wheel and watching the Autobots coming up behind him... Gold HoverTransport says, "I'll see you guys at the finish line.." White Countach Lambourghini snorts at Astrotrain, and procedes to turn on his speakers, trying to protest. He grrrs at the Junk_cycle. "...SHADDUP!" Gold HoverTransport continues to redline her engines, feeding herself pure energon goodies. Brox whoopses, "And Astrotrain in there just ahead of Redfire. How I missed something that big I don't know." Junkcycle says, "Oh me so Junky..me so Junky oh me so junkie, and I race agains these slime!" White Countach Lambourghini retaliates to the junk_cycle by turning on his shockwave engine full power at the cycle, trying to short circuit it. Junk_Cycle says, "Now that is funny Backlash but you aren't winning this one, "No make me loser....cause you are a loooser."" Junkcycle says, "Hey Flashy..sorry ta paint ya..yer a good gal, but it's time we part we got to stop meeting like this! MOOOOOAN!" Brox reaches down with one hand and tosses a drink down his left head's throat, wiping his right head's forehead and working his grip on the microphone with his third hand. Junkcycle says, "But We gotta race..at least i got a third!" Cybertronian Hovercar zooms past Sunrunner, lapping yet another person Mobile Defense Platform notices Gridlock passing her a moment, and starts to turn and go after him again. Junk_Cycle comes and trys to pass Backlash as she comes in towards him, "Like you can Backlash." She brings out some silly string and starts to paint Backlash!" Junkcycle says, "YEEP!" Brox returns with a full-throated yammer. "This race isn't over yet, folks!" Junk_Cycle says, "Silly string works all the time." The racers speed around the track.... Gold HoverTransport says, "Hey Blurr.. want to take some of these goodies off my hands?" The scoreboard lights up with the new race standings. Junkcycle says, "Shoot that at astrotrain!" Current positions: 19) EDC Super Porche (lap 2) 15) Breakdown (lap 2) 12) Gridlock (lap 1) Flashbulb (lap 3) 9) Firestone (lap 4) 8) Trigger (lap 1) 7) Redfire (lap 2) Blurr (lap 5) 5) Sunrunner (lap 3) 3) Backlash (lap 4) 1) Astrotrain (lap 3) Junkcycle says, "MUST TAKE THIRD!" Red Corvette aims for trigger agianm Mobile Defense Platform spots Blurr coming and moves to slam into Redfire again.... "GO BLURR !! Show 'em what us bots can doooo!!" Redfire crashes forcefully into Trigger! Trigger crashes forcefully into Redfire! Brox cries, "AND BLURR TAKES THE WIN! Now it's a battle for positioning as Firestone jockeys along in second, Backlash a few lengths back in third." Gridlock hurls his wheel, discus-style, at Flashbulb. Junk_Cycle stays with Gridlock and desides to bring him into the wall, "Gridlock like how doe it feel to be like a loser. Gridlock crashes forcefully into Flashbulb! Junkcycle says, "Hey Primus..If I take second, I promise to eat my whaeties every morining." Mobile Defense Platform arghs, actually rocking that time, and bring her treads down on TOP of the car to rip at it's hood. Gridlock says, "You tell me." Gold HoverTransport races along, picking up her pace as she continues forward, secure and happu in the middle of the pack. Junk_Cycle eeps and trys to gain back as he rams into her and sighs, "Not getting away you evil one!" Cybertronian Hovercar ZOOMS past the finish line and slowly begins to decelerate HoverCadillac kicks in her hoverfans, and lifts onto one side for half a second, armor scarring, but slipping right past most of the pack. Junkcycle desperately triess neck and neck with firestone. Flashbulb crashes forcefully into Gridlock! You hear a shout from The stands... "... OUT!!!!!" Gold HoverTransport cuts around, gunning her engines. Junk_Cycle gets her payments as she is able to knock Gridlock back and comes in for her position at forth place. Gridlock falls and rolls as the cycle collides with him. He transforms as he regains control of his fall. White Countach Lambourghini grrrrs as he attempts to speed up, attempting to overtake the porshe. "..C'mon, you m-mindless v-version of dead end..." he says as he speeds to tailgate. Gridlock hunches over, and his head sinks down into his torso. His legs appear to sink inside of him as his arms fold forward. Fenders slide over wheels, and you realize you are now looking at an innocuous-seeming taxicab. Super Locomotive is a flaming fireball of speed as he trucks down the track, making groove marks into the places he has not already tracked in yet. Junkcycle's back opens up, and from hsi seat comes a paintball gun, randomly spraying anyone behind him, and he redlines again! Brox continues on, "Flashbulb still hanging in in fourth, Sunrunner fifth, Astrotrain sixth. Madison right behind him, then Breakdown, Redfire, and by the elements I can't beleive it but Gridlock and Trigger are THREE LAPS behind the leaders!" Mobile Defense Platform still hasn't even made it through the FIRST lap and doens't seem to care. Junkcycle says, "Come on STONE!!! PLEEEEZE?" Junk_Cycle says, "Hey I think he like cheated...he transformed dweep." She comes over towards Backlash, "Comeone Backlash Pweeeezee?"" HoverCadillac says, "Sorry, hon." Gold HoverTransport races along, bouncing around track debris. Taxicab's right rear fender digs furrows in the ground as his tortured engine tries to maintain speed. Junkcycle says, "I'll give you a dolar!" Cybertronian Hovercar continues to lap, wanting to give several of the people what for Brox whoas as several drinks get chucked at the triumphant Blurr. "Looks like someone didn't bet on him..." HoverCadillac hits Gridlock's discarded wheel... which explodes, promptly. Junk_Cycle says, "Nice one Firestone." Mobile Defense Platform checks around for someone else, as she plows into the small red car and tries to shove it off the road completely. The racers speed around the track.... The scoreboard lights up with the new race standings. Red Corvette passes trigger HoverCadillac says, "Hey, it was in my way... Grille hitting six hundred degrees..." Current positions: 18) Firestone (lap 4) 16) Blurr (lap 5) 14) Sunrunner (lap 3) 12) Gridlock (lap 1) Flashbulb (lap 3) 11) Backlash (lap 4) 8) Trigger (lap 1) Astrotrain (lap 3) 7) Redfire (lap 2) 5) EDC Super Porche (lap 3) 4) Breakdown (lap 3) Cybertronian Hovercar speeds back up to full speed, breaking the sound barrier again Junk_Cycle says, "Well next time try doing that to Gridlock when he gets in the way. He would be a road pizza." Junkcycle skids around, heavily.....trying to beat out stone futiley. Gold HoverTransport passes between Gridlock and Flashbulb somehow, and covers Blurr's rear. "Take it home!" Junkcycle says, "Gotcha..we make the taxi roadkill!" Red Corvette aims for trigger as she gets closer "I'm gonna get you!" White Countach Lambourghini grrrs again, now being close enough to the porshe. "..N-now...w-where were we..." Redfire tries to ram into Trigger, without much success. HoverCadillac comes up on the start/finish line. She settles down for the last few feet... Strafe has arrived. Strafe enters, optics glancing around nervously. Taxicab cranks his front wheels to the right, slewing himself sideways and stopping directly in front of Backlash. Gridlock tries to ram into Backlash, without much success. Brox wipes his forehead. "Firestone mere lengths from the line to take second, Backlash fully halfway back on the track in third. It looks all over folks, I don't see how ANYONE's going to catch those two..." HoverCadillac says, "Blurr, if you lap me during your VICTORY lap, I will be annoyed." Junkcycle eeps, and LEAPS over grids, with a lucky shock absorber bounce,a nd speeds up after Stone. Strafe walks around the track to the alley, staying well away from the race track.. Junk_Cycle comes in behind with Backlash and trys to pass in into thrid as she chuckles, "Beat yeah to it." Strafe leaves to Last Chance Alley. Strafe has left. Cybertronian Hovercar says, "WhatVictoryLap!?IAmGoinaTryAndGiveGridlockWhatFor." Mobile Defense Platform says, "Him" Junkcycle says, "Noway Hon!" Gold HoverTransport races along, picking up speed, "Hey, maybe I can take fourth, hmm?" HoverCadillac says, "Oh, nevermind, then." Taxicab growls and takes off again. Junkcycle says, "LAST LAP! OPEN UP AND PEEEEEEEEL OUT!" Junk_Cycle puts herself into 350 mph as she comes flying wheel and wheel with Backlash, "Well least those losers lost." Brox chuckles, "Looks like Blurr's a little sore from a previous lap there and still wants a piece of poor Gridlock.." Mobile Defense Platform cackles, going after Astrotrain this time, trying to get him back to ramming her long before while she can. Trigger crashes forcefully into Astrotrain! Junkcycle says, "That's right.....that's why they da LOSERS@" The racers speed around the track.... The scoreboard lights up with the new race standings. Current positions: 20) Sunrunner (lap 3) Backlash (lap 4) 14) Gridlock (lap 1) 13) EDC Super Porche (lap 3) 12) Breakdown (lap 3) Trigger (lap 1) 11) Redfire (lap 2) 8) Firestone (lap 5) Astrotrain (lap 3) 5) Blurr (lap 6) 1) Flashbulb (lap 4) Gold HoverTransport giggles, leaping her thrusters, "An Autobot 1, 2 isn't bad.. sorry I couldn't make it a 3.." Red Corvette aims for trigger agian, destined to get her far back HoverCadillac transforms as she skids across the finish line... Super Locomotive holds a nice steady speed of 375 MPH as the raw octane is almost gone, shifting back to normal energon for his thruster fuel. Eventually he powers down to 350. Firestone rises, forms interlocking and reshaping, into her feminine robot form. Junkcycle says, "Lissen up all you homies in the stands/ Give it up for teh Junkies, cause we da maaaan!/ Everybody rock da house, cause us good gauys ain't no mouse/ we da winners all fair and square/ an' we get in Gridlock's hair! Lemme here ya say HOOOOOOOOOOO!" Redfire tries to ram into Trigger, without much success. Firestone lowers into herself, folding into a large black '59 hovercaddy. EDC Super Porche accelerates towards Breakdown, gunning it, because he's got nothing to loose Mobile Defense Platform pulls out of the way, trying to get someone else now. Gold HoverTransport hmms and tries to give Backlash a forward push. Sunrunner tries to ram into Backlash, without much success. Mobile Defense Platform isn't moving fvery well at all..... Junk_Cycle says, "HOOOO!!!!!" HoverCadillac transforms back, and pits. Junkcycle raps , while eeeping and swerving. EDC Super Porche crashes forcefully into Breakdown! Mobile Defense Platform decides the little red car needs to be crushed more and turns again, goning for her with a sudden burst of power. Junk_Cycle says, "Nah, nah, nah, can't touch this!"" Trigger tries to ram into Redfire, without much success. Brox announces, "And Firestone takes second, Backlash about to claim third unless someone can catch him. Sunrunner fourth, Madison fifth with Breakdown right behind him. Then Astrotrain, a distant Redfire and Gridlock and Trigger must just be out there for a stroll." Red Corvette misses trigger, and manages to swerve to miss her Junkcycle raps, "Come on everybody give us teh wave/'cause teh junkies can play, and we don' behave/comeone Brox lemme herar ya shout, and send home the cons with a ugly pout! HOOOOOOOOO! Mobile Defense Platform decides the race is OVER an to pull her extremely battered body OFF the track. Gold HoverTransport chuckles, "Just watch out for the looser cons behind us, Backlash.." Taxicab tries to hit the EDC car, but Madison manages to cruise right past. The flat surface on the base flips upwards as the avian like head of Trigger slides out from under it. The gun batteries twist and fold down into legs, while the forward section flickers and slides down to form her chest, bending as her legs reposition theselves from the sides of the craft, and finally her wings stand upright from her shoulders. Cybertronian Hovercar zooms after Gridlock, obviously wanting to settle an old score Junkcycle whoos as hsi freestyle rapping.... Strafe arrives from the Last Chance Alley. Strafe has arrived. Strafe enters, optics glancing around nervously. Strafe hurries back up to the stands. Strafe has left. Trigger ughs, limping on all four feet and barely walking after all that armor damage. Junkcycle says, "Now give it up for mah homegirl/she flashy bulb head/mess wit her, and ya wish ya was DEAD,/ she got the moves/she knows the street/and in a race, she'll give ya a treat! WHOOOOOOOOOOAAA!" The racers speed around the track.... The scoreboard lights up with the new race standings. Current positions: 18) Firestone (lap 5) 16) Trigger (lap 1) 15) Redfire (lap 2) Blurr (lap 6) EDC Super Porche (lap 3) 14) Astrotrain (lap 3) 12) Breakdown (lap 3) 10) Backlash (lap 5) 8) Flashbulb (lap 4) 6) Sunrunner (lap 4) 1) Gridlock (lap 2) Red Corvette sees her caught up to the edc vehicle and speeds towards him Trigger goes to lay down near the stands, unable to get much further. Junkcycle screeches in third!!!!!! Red Corvette says, "This is payback!!" Junkcycle says, "Les hear it fer the JUNKS! HOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Red Corvette can't get to him and aims for trigger Redfire tries to ram into Trigger, without much success. Gold HoverTransport continues to gun her engines, trying to figure out how she ended up behind Flashbulb and tries to retake fourth, "Hey Flashbulb, bored yet?" Taxicab continues struggling along. "What's the matter, Trigger? Can't continue? Hahahaha!!" Brox cries, "And Backlash takes third! That's it, this race is OVER, people!" Cybertronian Hovercar advances quickly upon Gridlock who is not far infront of him Red Corvette misses trigger and speeds by her, her aim not too good Junkcycle says, "Hey Brox! Who da man?" The taxicab seems to suddenly rear up, like some sort of great beast. Sections of the cab split off and rotate away from each other. Hidden panels move aside, and limbs issue forth. You are no longer looking at a taxi, but at an imposing humanoid robot. Trigger hmpths, "I have a problem... with dragging this on further, such senseless slaughter." Junk_Cycle compets with Sunrunner for forth as she stays behind her and trys to get past her as she zomes into her position and trys to get past this gal, "Oh no Flashy got back!" She brings her engines up to 390 as she trys to pass Sunrunner, "Nope not bored not with the endurance of a 17 year old I can out run yeah all!" Gold HoverTransport pulls off the track. Brox says lazily, "I da man, Stan my man..." Trigger chuckles despite herself, laying her head down upon her forepaws. The FrankenCycle seems to shake. Legs move out from its rusted sides and the oddly shaped forks that hold the wheels slide out into arms. The front moves out, and reveals a head. The robot stands and looks around, with a slightly crazed look on his face. Yep. That's Backlash. Gold HoverTransport pulls up next to Trigger, and transforms. Super Locomotive keeps on blaazing down the track, refusing to give up. The cab of the hovertranport separates from the rest of the vehicle and transforms to become Sunrunner, as the majority of her frame is slighted into subspace. Trigger rises up, sitting upon her haunches, "... Of course, I could take on more, but I am far above you primitives." Backlash says, "Hey spook! Up there! KISS IT!" White Countach Lambourghini greeeevs, then dimming his headlights. His form shakes up somewhat, as per normal. Sunrunner says, "We did our job..." Backlash smacks his rear. Gridlock stands in disgust as the announcer ends the race, clutching his wheelless left leg. He doesn't appear to see Blurr approaching rapidly from behind... Junk_Cycle pulls up next to Backlash and transforms, "Yeah those losers lost." The Junk_Cycle shouts, "Flashbulb, Junkinize!!" And with that, she leaps up and transforms into Flashbulb, Junkion media persona! Brox announces in a more normal tone of voice, "And the remainder of the pack drives out for the remainder of the placements..." Redfire transmits a message via radio. Gridlock receives a radio transmission. Flashbulb says, "Hey Spook, and Galvypant's plant it right here."" Gridlock receives a radio transmission from Galvatron. Gridlock receives a radio transmission. Flashbulb bends down and sticks her but into the air, "Next event, junk smashball!" HoverCadillac helps Blurr and Backy to the winners circle. Blurr receives a radio transmission from Syke. Gridlock, startled, glances up at Galvatron in the stands for a moment too long. Sunrunner ruffles Trigger, and pulls out a bag of goodies, sharing it with her. Blurr receives a radio transmission from Angelwing. Blurr transmits a message via radio to Syke. Trigger purrs, accepting some energoodies and running a few system checks. From inside the EDC Super Porche, John Madison transmits a message via radio. Blurr receives a radio transmission from John Madison. Blurr receives a radio transmission. Backlash has partially disconnected. Brox announces concisely, "Final standings: Blurr, Firestone, and Backlash in first, second and third. Flashbulb takes fourth, Sunrunner fifth, Madison sixth, Astrotrain seventh, Breakdown eighth, Redfire ninth, Gridlock tenth and Trigger comes in dead last." Cybertronian Hovercar comes by and sideswipes Gridlock at mach 1 while turning a curve. Firestone rises, forms interlocking and reshaping, into her feminine robot form. Flashbulb says, "We did it we did it. Junkies in the lead get busy it's your birthday." Backlash has reconnected. Super Locomotive pulls upwards into the air and transforms into his robot mode, not wastying anymore time and returning to the stands. Astrotrain transforms into his fair-sized robot mode almost instantly. Red Corvette slows and transforms Gridlock takes Blurr's right rear fender in the legs, propelling him, skidding and bouncing, into the track wall. When the dust clears, Gridlock lies unmoving, energon leaking from his joints. Redfire twists and turns up into the warrior Redfire. EDC Super Porche slows around the track, coming to his pit crew Astrotrain has left. Backlash says, "HEY! Give it up fer BLURR STONE and mah Humble SELF!" Trigger sits near the stands, checking over her armor plating. White Countach Lambourghini ugs somewhat as he finally passes the finish line, lowering his headlights. He bobs his hood, his back spoiler crunched. He transforms, and tries to walk. However, as the spoilers are his feet, he has to walk -extremely- slowly. Cybertronian Hovercar pulls up to the winner's circle stoping when he gets there Flashbulb says, "I be given up to you Homies." EDC Super Porche slows to 10 MPH. The Countach shifts, twists, and folds, and within seconds the Stunticon Breakdown stands before you, twitching. EDC Super Porche slows to a stop From inside the EDC Super Porche, John Madison turns the key, and the engine shuts off. John Madison climbs out of EDC Super Porche. John Madison has arrived. Flashbulb looks at herself little dented but she had fun as she brushes herself off and pulls out her camera and takes pictures of the group in the winners circle. The Hovercar rises up and transforms into that fast Autobot, Blurr. Backlash says, "Not in public, Flashy!" John Madison takes off his helmet Gridlock lies crumpled near the track wall. Backlash grins. Trigger lays down again, simply watching. Rodimus Prime pushes himself off the side of the stands, grinning and tossing a thumbs-up to Blurr. Backlash says, "So hand us out medals already! :)" Firestone says, "Next year, Blurr... I'm gonna beat you." Blurr Stand in the winners circle, his chest ALLLL crushed in Redfire looks and sees gridlock, she walks towards him Blurr snickers at Firestone Trigger stretches out, popping a few loosened panels into place. Firestone says, "Hey, I passed you once." Firestone says, "For a second." Redfire walks towards grid and stops in front of him, she looks at his injuries Hook has arrived. Hook walks into the room looking for a test subject. Firestone says, "More than anyone else did." Backlash has partially disconnected. Blurr says, "YeaAndIGotGridlockBackForThat" Redfire kneels next to grid John Madison says, "Nice race guys, cant say the same for the deceps" Firestone receives a radio transmission. Blurr says, "AndHeDeservedItToo" Hook heads over to Gridlock. Firestone says, "Good job, EDC guy!" Monacus crew trundle out onto the track, starting to erect large aluminum poles with red flags at each corner. John Madison says, "Thanks. Gave it a shot anyway." Redfire looks up to hook and nods to him before turning her attention to gird John Madison brushes himself off Firestone says, "Hey, can you be in the flying race if you can't fly?" Breakdown begins to slowly walk away from the track, in between the stands and the winner's circle. He raises his hand into the air for a moment, turning his head to the circle. "...You raced well. B-but, this is only the begining, you must remember....." he turns back, and heads towards the stands, knees creeking as he goes. Firestone waves to Breakdown. Hook nods to Redfire. Breakdown has left. Firestone says, "Good sportsmanship, Breakdown." Redfire looks to john for a sec, then looks back to grid Sandstorm has arrived. Sandstorm strides boldly into the room. Gridlock begins to stir. Angelwing has arrived. Angelwing steps warily into view. Springer has arrived. Brox steps back into shadow and drops wearily into a chair, gulping water down both throats. Gycony steps forward again and announces regally, "While our crews set up for the aerial race, we invite you to visit our consession stands..." he undertones, "and the bookies..." Firestone transmits a message via radio. Gridlock climbs painfully to his knees. Sandstorm snickers at Gridlock John Madison mutters, "If I hadnt hit that wall..." Redfire stands in front of grid and reches out to help him Springer comes out of the stands and grins broadly towards Sandstorm. "Hey, Sandy, ready to give them a run for their propellers?" Flashbulb has left. Hook extends aa hand out for Gridlock. Firestone pokes Blurr. Flashbulb has arrived. Blurr grins at Firestone, "What?" Ramjet has arrived. Redfire does so to John Madison and his crew wheel the EDC super porche away!! Firestone says, "Hey, Flashy!" Firestone says, "Take a picture of us!" Ramjet hangs arpound at the back, waiting for the next event Flashbulb says, "I did it's in the The junkfiles!" Gridlock gets to his feet between Redfire and Hook, his right knee deformed painfully. Between them, they manage to get him to the stands... John Madison has left. Firestone says, "Keen." Firestone says, "Do we get our medals later?" Blurr shrugs Angelwing smirks to herself at Gridlock's condition, then turns to look around Flashbulb says, "Hey, Sunrunner look at Redfire. She's like a Decepticon and stuff." Strafe has arrived. Strafe enters, optics glancing around nervously. Redfire looks to angelwing, hearing that and smirks at her Trigger sits near the stands, watching everyone. Hook heads to the stands with Gridlock. Strafe walks over to Trigger and sits down beside her. Redfire heads to the stands with grid Flashbulb takes lots of pictures of Backlash with her camera. Strafe pets Trigger. Trigger lays down and rests her head, which is about the only nonbattered part of her in his lap with a loud purr. Scourge has arrived. Mischief has arrived. Mischief wanders into view quietly, glancing around. Spook has arrived. Astrotrain has arrived. Gridlock has left. Spook walks out from the stands Phoenix has arrived. John Madison has arrived. Scourge grins as he surveys the competition, or lack thereof. Mischief bounces over to Trigger and hands her back the furrypurringsqueaky thing. Redfire transmits a message via radio to Angelwing. Angelwing receives a radio transmission. Strafe continues petting Trigger. Flashbulb says, "It's the beardy pink finger nail guy." Strafe looks up at Mischief as she comes over. "'ey!!" Ramjet can't seem to spot powerglide anywhere so wanders over nearer Cosmos. Astrotrain stands beside Scourge and smirks. Firestone transmits a message via radio. Mischief receives a radio transmission. Astrotrain receives a radio transmission from Hun-Grrr. Spook says, "So who's competing with us?" Hook has left. Trigger seems to like all the attention, since her armor is almost completely totalled and it takes her mind off of it. Backlash has left. Backlash climbs onto the PhotoCycle, and takes a seat. Flashbulb takes Backlash. Astrotrain transmits a message via radio. Cyclonus has arrived. Phoenixwlask ot Spook and shruggs Redfire has left. Angelwing transmits a message via radio.

Spook receives a radio transmission. Spook transmits a message via radio. Angelwing transmits a message via radio to Redfire. Darkfire arrives from the Last Chance Alley. Darkfire has arrived. Darkfire strides into the room, his cloak swirling around his ankles as he walks... Mischief icks and pouts at Trigger, reaching over to squeak the squeaky for her. Scourge strokes his goatee as he wonders why his sweeps are absent from the competition. John Madison has left. Phoenix receives a radio transmission from Hun-Grrr. Vertigo has arrived. Vertigo walks in, proudly bearing the large and flowing purple and silver flag that bears the sigil of the Decepticon Empire. Cyclonus looks over the autobots racing against them,... lining up with the gathered decepticons,.. "Luck to you all." Blurr zips over to the stands Sandstorm leans against the stands, watching. Blurr has left. Trigger chuckles, taking the squeaky at the tip of her beak and purring, then going back to laying her head in Strafe's lap. Phoenix nods May Primsu be with us!' Angelwing receives a radio transmission from Redfire. Scourge roars, "MORE LIKE DEFEAT TO YOU ALL MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" *Squeak* Vertigo giggles and shakes her silver and purple pompoms, "Get em, Cons!" Strafe continues to pet Trigger. Darkfire has left. Spook says, "MAY ALL WHO OPPOSE THE DIVINE GALVATRON FALL TO HIS WRATH!" Ramjet receives a radio transmission from Redfire. Angelwing transmits a message via radio to Redfire. Phoenix receives a radio transmission from Hun-Grrr. Astrotrain just stands there, unabble to become caught up in the pre- race excitement. Mischief patpats Trigger gently, then sits down next to her and examines her armor. "You want me to fix ya?" Vertigo has left. Scourge screams, "GLORY TO THE EMPIRE!" Phoenix transmits a message via radio. Sandstorm shouts into the stands, "CAN IT!" Trigger murmers, "I'd like that, yes, I can't move very well..." Cyclonus glowers at scourge, and prepares, stretching slightly,... Phoenix says, "GLORY TO THE EMPIRE!!!!" Strafe glances up uneasily at all the yelling. Trigger mutters to Mischief, "... we go into..." Gycony smirks, "How nice to see your enthusiasm, my metal friends..." Strafe joins the race. Astrotrain sputters a simple, "Glory...", then remains silent. Mischief noddles. "Good idea.. too many noisy con types around here." Spook works out some kinks in his metal frame Trigger waves to Strafe with a battered foreleg. Springer rubs the back of his neck. Phoenix looks nice and polished as usual Trigger shouts out, "G'luck, Strafe...!" Spook runs a quick system check... Mischief helps clear the way for Trigger. Strafe waves and stands up, walking over to the register Strafe says, "Thanks!" Mischief has left. Angelwing receives a radio transmission from Redfire. Strafe receives a radio transmission. Strafe grins and waves at Trigger. Trigger rises up and walks up into the stands. Phoenix mutters to Spook, "Ok... of... Strafe... problem..." Trigger has left. Ramjet transmits a message via radio. Firestone has left. Spook mutters to Phoenix, "... ordered..." ================================ In Your Area ============================= Rodimus Prime [A] Springer [A] Cosmos [A] Ramjet [D] Scourge [D] Strafe [A] Cyclonus [D] Angelwing [A] Phoenix [D] Spook [D] Astrotrain [D] Sandstorm [A] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Springer shifts and transforms until rotor blades pop out, becoming a helicopter. Angelwing receives a radio transmission. Phoenix mutters to Spook, "... try... also" Strafe looks up at the stands and waves at Afterburner, then at Trigger, then at Mischief.. then throws a sarcastic wave at Hun-Grrr. Astrotrain transforms into his massive Interstellar Shuttle mode almost instantly. Suddenly Phoenix jumps into the air. A panel opens up on both sides allowing his arms to slide in. His legs are drawn into his body, and the wings which where folded back now unfold and snap into a new position. THen as if on a final touch a part of his chest flips up covering his face and another part flip from his back..the two snap together to becoem a cockpit Spook's legs lock together and his head sinks into his shoulders. His leg jets slide up to become a portion of the newly appearing Spyjet's FTL drive. Cosmos leaps into the air. he pulls his arms legs and head inside, he hovers over the ground now as a green ufo. Cyclonus hovers into the air, lining up with the others,.. he transforms in prepapration,,... Cyclonusarms lock into place, folding inward to reveal powerful engines, his legs folding upward and inward to make the back section of the plane. Reverse foil wings unfold from the shoulders as the the nosecone slides into place,.... forming a large spaceplane, it's powerful engines humming to life as it powers,.... Green Techcopter's propellers start to twirl while Springer warms up. Angelwing flexes her fingers.. then transforms.. Scourge grins one last time and salutes Lord Galvatron in the stands as he screams, "GLORY TO THE EMPIRE!" Twisting his body, Strafe transforms into a technojet. Angelwing begins to shift, her torso rotating out to form the cockpit of her VTOL alt mode, the propeller setups on her shoulders forming the main lift propellers. Arms and legs disappear, replaced by wings and sleek tailwing. Scourge leaps into the sky and shifts his body into a sleek Sweepship. TechnoJet takes off and flies up.. Brox rises from his seat and moves to the front of the balcony again, apparently refreshed. "And for our next event... Aerial daredevilry over the skies of the racetrack! Let's welcome our contenders!" Spyjet hovers up to take his position You hear a shout from The stands... "WOOOO!!!...!" You hear a shout from The stands... You hear a shout from The stands... "... EMPIRE!!!!" A UFO hovers over to his position Ramjet stands around near the back of the field Maneuverable VTOL rises evenly from the ground, hovering in line with the other contenders.. TechnoJet falls into position.. Sweepship powers up thrusters and takes its place along side the others. Ramjet glances at the Con stands and grins Brox waves one of his three hands grandly. "As you can see, our Monacus Raceway crew have erected flagpoles at each corner of the track our contenders must round each of the poles in order to qualify for a lap, so cutting corners isn't allowed." Decepticon Aerospace-fighter hovers there Green Techcopter lifts off and moves to line up with the others. Spaceplane hovers, engines emmiting a low, melodic humm as it powers,.... You hear a shout from The stands... " GO STRAFE!! We're COUNTING ON YOU!!! !" Decepticon Aerospace-fighter feels somewhat excited, it has been along time sicne he was in any sprtign event Ramjet hovers up to ready himself with the others, fists clenched Spyjet powers his engines which come alive with a blinding flash of blue light A UFO bobs up and down in place TechnoJet laughs at the cheers from the stands. Super Starship's hovers upwards from the ground, taking positon beside Scourge, powering up his thrusters once more as they are refueled... with BOTH types of fuel, once more. Sandstorm cheers A UFO makes a neat wowowowowowow sound Current Race Participants: 1) Astrotrain 2) Angelwing 3) Strafe 4) Scourge 5) Cyclonus 6) Springer 7) Phoenix 8) Spook 9) Ramjet 10) Cosmos Maneuverable VTOL ignores the commotion around her... Decepticon Aerospace-fighter tries to stay calm Spyjet hovers near Strafe Sweepship pops his head out of the top, "Are we gonna race or are we gonna hover all day?" TechnoJet says, "Yeah! I wanna race!!" Sweepship retracts his head. Ramjet hovers next to the UFO, sneering at it. Green Techcopter says, "I can hover all day, can you?" Super Starship says, "yes." Spaceplane hovers in place between springer and scourge, awaiting the word,... Sweepship transmits, "Yes." You hear a shout from The stands... "GET them...!" Ramjet's optics burn bright from the high grade fuel he's using. Brox announces, "And we have another impressive field tonight, ladies and gentlemen. Representing the Decepticon Empire.." he pauses to let the inevitable cheering die down from the stands, "we have Astrotrain -- guess he recovered from the last race already -- Scourge, Cyclonus, Phoenix, Spook and Ramjet! For the Autobots, Angelwing, Strafe, Springer and Cosmos! ARE YOU READY??" Super Starship ponders opening up on the stands to shut them up, but swallows the thought, returning his concentration to the race. You hear a shout from The stands... "... REALLY CARS... TAKE...!" Maneuverable VTOL 's answer comes in the form of a slight tilt, and revving of her rotors Decepticon Aerospace-fighter powers up his thrusters, and deverts msot power to them Spyjet readies his flaps and his thrusters Green Techcopter says, "Do I have time to refuel? Heh, just kidding." You hear a shout from The stands... "*Continuing... Rustin'... smoking, terror,... two...!" Decepticon Aerospace-fighter blinks his lights in a yes Ramjet starts jetting foward to get past his jetmode stall speed. Super Starship fires up his thrusters, then fires his retro rockets indicating he's ready to whoop aft. Sweepship is always ready to whoop aft. A UFO lights up brightly Spaceplane continues to hover, the sound of his engines building, reaching an almost intolerable level,... Spyjet puts on his lights Brox waves to the starter, who raises his green flag and drops it witha flourish. He bellows, "AND THEY'RE OFF!" Ramjet watches the start guy, ready to TF as soon as the flag drops Ramjet transforms into a better ramming mode . His chest rotates up and back as delta wings fold round into place . Jets ignite and a modified F-15 speeds away from where he was . Super Starship fires forward at his maximum speed from the startr, going to mach 1, 3, 5, then nearing FTL as he blasts off. You hear a shout from The stands... " Rock and roll, Cosmos! !" Race-Modified F-15 blast foward on 4 brand new race spec engines. Spaceplane blasts off, his powerful engines sending him screaming into the race,... Decepticon Aerospace-fighter begisn out slow triyng to conserve fuel for later on, also he wants ot keep an optic on the bots...fro now Maneuverable VTOL lurches forward, her slower speed being compensated by a decent acceleration. A UFO zips offf quickly Spyjet fire his engines flaming off TechnoJet takes off quickly.. Sweepship guns his thrusters and reaches MACH 3 within seconds and is still gaining speed. newround The racers speed around the track.... Green Techcopter lifts off into the air slowly, not as fancy as the high tech jets and space ships but it's what helicopters do. The scoreboard lights up with the new race standings. Current positions: 12) Astrotrain (lap 0) Scourge (lap 0) Cosmos (lap 0) 11) Cyclonus (lap 0) Phoenix (lap 0) Spook (lap 0) 9) Ramjet (lap 0) 8) Angelwing (lap 0) 7) Strafe (lap 0) Springer (lap 0) A UFO puts alot of energy going in, he doesnt speed up, and is going fast from the start Sandstorm falls back against the wall, laughing his aft off. Maneuverable VTOL keeps a close eye on the other racers, doing her best to maneuever around the larger and faster crafts Race-Modified F-15 blsts after the Ufo, Aiming himself for it as it gets off to a sluggish start Spyjet keeps building up speed of the Decepticon Empire. Sweepship reaches MACH 5 Brox leaps into frenzied announcer mode instantly. "Taking the early lead, Astrotrain, Scourge and Cosmos neck and neck, with Cyclonus, Phoenix and Spook right behind! Ramjet trailing the leaders, with Angelwing behind him, Strafe and Springer bringing up the rear. Guess they got off to a slow start there." Green Techcopter flies along side Strafe for a moment and then tries to push past him. "Hey Strafe, you're going in the wrong direction." Spaceplane spirels, banking to avoid spook and phoenix,.... Super Starship exceeds MACH 5, barely keeping under FTL. TechnoJet fires his thrusters, pushing himself to catch up with ASngelwing. Strafe tries to ram into Angelwing, without much success. You hear a shout from The stands... "KICK...!" Race-Modified F-15 aims himself at the UFO, making no move to overtake as he sonic booms loudly. A UFO dumps more energy into his speed causing him to blurr Spyjet keeps laying on the engine power. Decepticon Aerospace-fighter easily catchs up with Springer, as he flies right behind the copter Maneuverable VTOL guns her engines, gaining speed, keeping to the inside edge of the track. Utilizing her only attrivute.. her steering, she takes the corners as close as she can.. You hear a shout from The stands... "... ON...!" Spaceplane engines glow for a moment, sending him hurlting between spook and phoenix, attempting to overtake them.... TechnoJet's cannon tips get parrellel with Angelwing before he loses part of his thrust.. Cyclonus transmits a message via radio to Spook. Spook receives a radio transmission. You hear a shout from The stands... "THE...!" Sweepship stays near the front of the pack, staying a little behind ATrain to lower wind resistance. Spyjet jetnods Angelwing transmits a message via radio. Strafe receives a radio transmission. TechnoJet banks wide around the corners, trying his best to keep up. Maneuverable VTOL narrowly avoids the technojet, veering away Sandstorm shouts, "GO COSMOS! ROCK ON SPACE DUDE!!" Super Starship shifts from the outside towards the inside of the aerial track, moving in front of and then to the right of scourge. Race-Modified F-15 barrels past the UFO it blurs out of his way, continuing in a direct line he lines up on the VTOL jet ahead Spyjet keeps the heat on, but stays near the back of the decepticon pack John Madison has arrived. Maneuverable VTOL guns her engines.. and aims for ramjet.. trying to get him from behind A UFO ignores everyone, not trying to do damage, trying to win Angelwing tries to ram into Ramjet, without much success. Spaceplane guns his engines, multiple sonic booms washing over those is his wake as he breaks the sound barrier. Many times over,... Decepticon Aerospace-fighter is right behind the green choper, he is triyng to sike it out so it makes a msitake The racers speed around the track.... The scoreboard lights up with the new race standings. Current positions: 16) Springer (lap 0) 12) Strafe (lap 0) 11) Angelwing (lap 0) 4) Astrotrain (lap 1) 3) Cosmos (lap 1) 2) Scourge (lap 1) Cyclonus (lap 1) 1) Phoenix (lap 1) Spook (lap 1) Ramjet (lap 1) Sweepship falls behind and notices Cyclonus catch up to him. Decepticon Aerospace-fighter over takes the copter and leaces it in the dust Maneuverable VTOL turns again, a flag fluttering as her wing brushes by it.. Spaceplane rounds the flaps, his reverse foil wings clipping the tips of them,... Sandstorm shouts, "COME ON COSMOS! YOU PAN PASS THAT LOCOMORON! LETS GO!!" You hear a shout from The stands... Brox squints to keep up with the extremely fast maneuvering out there. "At the end of the first lap, we have Astrotrain in the lead with Cosmos right behind! Scourge and Cyclonus duking it out for third, then a real mixup with Phoenix, Spook and Ramjet right behind them! Spring, Strafe and Angelwing seem to be running into a little trouble there, trailing. Race-Modified F-15 swerves away from the wall, kicking in afterburners as the VTOL VIFs out of his way... TechnoJet gets parrell with the VTOL and starts a roll, then reverses it, slamming his wing into the VTOL. You hear a shout from The stands... " GOCOSMOS!!!!!!! !" Strafe crashes forcefully into Angelwing! A UFO speeds up concentrating on those infront of him not worrying about hose behind or those in the crowd Spyjet flies at a good speed back and forth trying to keep any bots from going past him Scourge transmits a message via radio. Cyclonus receives a radio transmission. TechnoJet laughs and accelerates past the VTOL.. Maneuverable VTOL tries to maneuverinto strafe's wake, aiming to use the vacuum created to pull her forward Decepticon Aerospace-fighter flies, trying to gain full speed, and tries ot get into positon to ram into Cosmos You hear a shout from The stands... "'EY... SMASH INTO... CONS!!!!" Green Techcopter bobs from side to side, trying to pass by Strafe. "You guys are kinda playing a little rough," he emits, flying a little lower than Strafe. Brox whoas! "Got a little intrafaction competition out there with Strafe and Angelwing, looks like every mechanism for himself again!" Spaceplane soars beside scourge, his larger, more aerodynamic form tilting sideways to overtake,... Sweepship transmits, "In your dreams Cyclonus!" Race-Modified F-15 tries to avaoid hitting Spook and Phoenix, pulling into a line with them behind the leaders...blocking the way for those behind. TechnoJet laughs as his name gets mentioned over the loudspeaker, and pushes himself towards Astrotrain, trying to catch up. Sweepship guns his thrusters to try and stay ahead of his 'brother'. Sandstorm shouts, "PASS HIM! THERE! THERE'S AN OPENING! GO COS! YOU CAN- OH! WAIT! NO! THE OTHER WAY! FASTER! GO! MOVE IT!!" Maneuverable VTOL shudders a bit, a side wind hitting her... but she recovers, and pushes her engines even more... Spyjet is trying to keep with the cons but still block the bots at the same time Spaceplane chuckles softly,.. "Dreams? I think not." A UFO lets out a "WOOOOOO HOOOOO!" as he experiences a burst of excitement Decepticon Aerospace-fighter plays the job of blockign the Autobots and at the same tiem triyng to catchup with those ahead of him and run the bots off the track Spaceplane pulls ahead slightly, turning sharply once again clipping a flag,... A UFO pours energy into his speed, he can hardly be seen as he blasts forwards Maneuverable VTOL still tries to find the technojet's path... hoping to make good with the minimal air resistance in his wake.. Super Starship fires up his thrusters, cuts the energon, and dumps his raw octane fuel into his engine compartment. Maneuverable VTOL leaves strafe's trail to make another corner, narrowly missing the pole marker The racers speed around the track.... The scoreboard lights up with the new race standings. Super Starship's thrusters to the rear of the ship suddenly burst in a near explosion, as fuel rips into them at surprisng speeds, excelerating the shuttle closer to MAch 6. Current positions: 17) Strafe (lap 0) 16) Astrotrain (lap 1) 13) Scourge (lap 1) Cyclonus (lap 1) Phoenix (lap 1) Cosmos (lap 1) 12) Spook (lap 1) 11) Angelwing (lap 0) Ramjet (lap 1) 2) Springer (lap 1) Decepticon Aerospace-fighter gets Cosmos in his sights and tries to rock him back Race-Modified F-15 's engines glow a dull red as he pushes them to keep up with the space capable cons to either side. Sweepship manages to catch up with Astrotrain and Cosmos while not allowing Cyclonus to pass him just yet. Maneuverable VTOL slips slighty to the side.. then veers on a path towards ramjet one more Angelwing crashes forcefully into Ramjet! Phoenix tries to ram into Cosmos, without much success. Ramjet crashes forcefully into Angelwing! Sandstorm shouts, "LOOK OUT COSMOS! THAT CON'S GOT YOU IN HIS SIGHTS!!" Strafe tries to ram into Astrotrain, without much success. Decepticon Aerospace-fighter growls to hismelf as he attempts to crash into Cosmos, and DOESn't Spyjet keeps flying not planning on crashing till he has to TechnoJet futilly tries to pass Astrotrain. Spaceplane lurches forward, as his engines hit full power,... pushing them to the limit,... those behind are hit by the force as he closes on mach 10,... Super Starship easily avoids Strafe's ramming attempt, blazing by him, laping him again. Decepticon Aerospace-fighter mutters a msall prayer to Primus Brox yells, "Astrotrain maintains the lead as he rounds the turn, with a real bottleneck developing behind him! Scourge, Cyclonus, Phoenix and Cosmos are ALL neck-and-neck for second! Spook right behind the pack, Ramjet behind him about to lap Angelwing, then Springer, Strafe and Angelwing trailing." Maneuverable VTOL shudders, coming out of the meet the worse for wear, going into a slight spin, pulling up halfway top the ground.. Green Techcopter fwipfwipfwips over Strafe and Angelwing while they fight it out and zips along while Ramjet shoots by. He takes it easy, wabbling a little from the other racer's shooting past him. Race-Modified F-15 suddenly finds the slower VTOL in his path , it moves to block him and he aims a recriprical course, re-inforced nosecone smashing into it as he bounces off Phoenix transmits a message via radio to Spook. Spook receives a radio transmission. Astrotrain transmits a message via radio. Spook receives a radio transmission. Decepticon Aerospace-fighter growls as he attempts to regain his old position TechnoJet tries his hardest to keep up with the others as he flies by the boundary markers, but doesn't account for much.. Spyjet cuts his engines and tries to hit Springer with his tail end before slamming the engines on again Maneuverable VTOL loses alot of placing, with that last meet with ramjet.. but she still struggles to keep up, pulling back up to a safer height Race-Modified F-15 swerves away from Angelwing, trailing bodywork from his nosecone his distances himself and lines up for anoth strike, blocking springer as he goes. Spyjet keeps in his steady position not leading or tailing Spaceplane pours on from seemingly unending reserves,.. his acceleration slowly, but shurely rising unexpicably,... Super Starship continues to speed along, the raw octane burning in his thrusters as he powers on. Maneuve
