*20 Minutes after the activation of Project Nexus*

Junkion. There's not much to say about this place honestly. Other than it's a planet, and it's a dump. Literally. It's a great, big wad of garbage floating through space.

And unfortunately, Ironhide and Grimlock find themselves being marooned on this dump, surrounded by hagglers of all kinds.

This is most certainly destined to be a interesting experience.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"Junkion"

A large crowd of Junkions gather around as Ironhide and Grimlock quickly find themselves being surrounded and mugged.

Junkion: I'll give you 15,000 credits for this right blaster!

Junkion#2: 25,000 for the left!

Junkion#3: Screw you both! I'll pay 45,000 for both!

Junkion#4: And I'm willing to cough up a million for the big, lizard bot!

Ironhide: *Grunts* Get off me!

As more and more Junkions gather, the Autobot-Dinobot duo finds themselves quickly being swarmed.

Ironhide: I SAID GET OFF!

Ironhide quickly rises to his feet, throwing off several Junkions in the process before aiming his Plasma Cannon and Ion Cannon at the crowd.

Junkion: We'll get those spare parts, even if we have to strip em from your corpse!

The Junkions arm themselves with Hooks, Spears, and Junker Rifles.

Grimlock: YOU NO TOUCH ME GRIMLOCK OR IRONHEAD!!!

Grimlock transforms into his Dinobot Mode and roars loudly, causing the Junkions to back away a few feet. 

Ironhide: YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME!? I WILL TEAR YOU APART!!!

Suddenly, the ground shakes with a powerful jolt as everyone looks around in confusion.

The leader of the group mutters something to his cohorts in his native as they eventually disperse and retreat, transforming as they ride off into the distance. 

Ironhide: Punkasses.

The ground continues to shake as it cracks and splits apart, causing nearby wildlife to scatter for cover.

Ironhide: Hmm.

Grimlock: *Growls*

Within in seconds, the ground bursts open and sends debris hurdling through the air as a massive cybernetic amphibian, purple and orange in color emerges.

Spittor, the apex predator of Junkion lands in front of Ironhide and Grimlock, who bravely stand their ground. 

Spittor: *Croaks*

Ironhide: I've been online for a real long time and have seen many different creatures on many different planets, and you by far are the most hideous thing I've ever had the displeasure of seeing with my own two optics.

"Ooh! Talk about burn!"

A 25ft tall, bright yellow Decepticon with a claw for a left hand walks up and stands beside his pet.

Ironhide: After all this time, you still can't come with up a decent comeback?

Scrapper: I've been busy with more important matters. Like getting off this dump for instance.
