Transformers: Eradication

Part 24: The Constructicons Accidently End Terrorism

On Cybertron all the Autobots are still trying to find a way to break free of binds, but it seems to be impossible without some sort of outside interference. Meanwhile Knockout is tasked with supervising the handling of six very special protoforms. They are even labeled with names. The are Vortex, Swindle, Brawl, Dead-end. Dragstrip, and the largest one is named Motormaster.

Knockout: (sharply) "Be careful with those you fools. Shockwave will have my head if something happens to these protoforms!"

Shockblast enters the room to discuss some interesting news.

Shock: "This will be a great addition to the cause."

Knockout: "If you say so. I'm not big on the combining business. We can hardly rely on Devastator."

Shock: "Which is why Menasor will be the greatest achievement in combiner history."

Knockout: "Is that what you're calling the combiner? Great you might as well name the next one Abominus or something stupid like that. Or heck make a female combiner and name her Victorion. That ought to make them go crazy."

Shock: "Victorion is an illogical concept and name. Though Abominus may fit our Terrorcon's combiner name."

Knockout: "What about your Predicons? Will they combine too?"

Shock: "They will be clones, and any massive changes to their biology may make them malfunction. We will just have to rely on their sheer power alone."

Knockout: "You guys sure have a ton of projects to work on."

Shock: "Too many, which is exactly why we hired those two new additions to take over."

Knockout: "Are you sure about them? They're both creepy. That young guy wants to turn himself into a serpent. Can you imagine him slithering around the lab?"

Shock: "Disturbing indeed. However we care more about his credentials more than anything else. He graduated at the top of his class in Crystal City."

Knockout: "Then there is the older one, and he's even worse. You saw what he wanted to do with his hand."

Shock: "I'm impressed with the designs he has planned for this augmentation."

Knockout: (under his breath) "I think I need a new outlet."

Back in the Decepticon's base, the Constructicons are looking for Overload, who they suspect is still inside the base.

Scavenge: "Now if I was Overload where would I be?"

Scrapper: "Probably his room."

Rampage: "And if he is not there then we shall seek him out."

The six arrive outside Overload's door. They hear some strange noises of something smashing together lightly, like skin of leather.

Mix: "Wow, I never realized how tired I am."

High: "So who's knocking on the door?"

Longhau: "Not me, I already paid my penance last time."

Rampage: "If none of you are up to the task then I shall do it."

Rampage knocks on the door, and they get an unexpected response from Overload.

Overload: "Come back later. Overload is busy with booty call."

Scrapper: "Excuse me?"

Scavenge: "He can't be serious. Can he?"

Rampage: "Only one way to find out."

Rampage opens the door, and their faces turn from horror to confusion. They should have realized it would be something entirely different than what they expected. By booty call, Overload meant he was throwing boots at a giant pile of boots.

High: "So that's what he meant."

Scavenge: "What a relief."

Overload: "It appears that privacy is truly dead."

Mix: "Overload my friend this was not the booty call I had visioned."

Overload: "You mean there is another?"

Mix: "Uh......"

Scapper: (nervously) "No! Not at all! Mixmaster was just confused."

Mix: "Yeah he's right!"

Longhaul: "Good save."

Scrapper: "It's what I do."

Mix: "Well now that we found him let's try to be consistent and do roll call."

Scrapper: "Everyone is here but whatever."

Mix: "Alright let's get the hard one out of the way. Our multitasker, co heavily lifter and engineer."

Overload: "Here."

Mix: "Co-engineer?"

Rampage: "Present."

Mix: "Our high lifter?"

High: "Here."

Mix: "Digger and electrician in training?"

Scavenge: "Never left, sir!"

Mix: "Heavy lifter and transporter?"

Longhaul: "Yup."

Mix: "Demolitions expert and architect?"

Scrapper: "Here because I'm contractually obligated to be."

Mix: "And last but not least our mixer, leader, and brains behind everything... yeah I'm here."

Scavenge: "Well that's a wrap!"

Hightower grabs one of the boots and throws it in the back of Scavenger's head.

Scavenger: "What was that for?"

High: "That was for always winning!"

Scavenge: "Well two can play at that game!"

Scavenger throws a boot into Hightower's face, but the bars in front of his face protect him, and the book is caught in them.

Scavenge: "Well that isn't fair."

Soon all the Constructicons are throwing boots at each other. Scrapper tries to throw one in the back of Mixmaster's head, but he yawns and unexpectedly turns around, completely oblivious to everything that is going on. When he turns around the boot hits his shield and ricochets back to Scrapper, hitting him on the forehead. Longhaul isn't participating and let's out a big sigh.

Longhaul: (impatient) "Don't we have a job to do?"
