Convoy V: Autobots, ROLL OUT!

[Lex-Kat]

Day 4

Ratbat had been sent ahead of the Convoy to survey the oil foundry and evaluate the energy to be collected.

But he was getting bored. He'd been waiting here for three days already, and had gotten all the data he possibly could. But Megatron had told him to wait. Wait and watch.

But there was nothing to watch. The same humans come to work at the same time each day. And those same humans go home at the end of their shifts at the same time each day! It is a complete waste of my precious time and abilities.

Why, he wondered not for the first time, had Laserbeak or Buzzkill not been sent? They enjoyed this sort of mindless sitting and watching.

That night, his boredom finally got the better of him. As one of the foundry foremen drove home, Ratbat followed him. Using the darkness of the moonless night, he soared overhead of the delicious Beamer, landing in a nearby tree.

After Foreman Clem Onus went inside to his wife and kids, Ratbat controlled his urge to feed on the high-octane treat. Instead, he changed into a cassette and dropped down through the slightly opened sun roof.

Once inside, it was easy enough to remove Clem's Glenn Campbell tape and place himself in the player. There he waited for Clem.

The next day, right on schedule, Clem happily got into his car, headed for work. But instead of hearing Rhinestone Cowboy for the hundredth time, Clem was treated to a soothing voice lulling him into a semi-hypnotic state.

As Clem drove on, Ratbot sent subliminal instructions into his brain, giving him details on how to run the foundry more efficiently. He gave instruction on who to fire, and who to promote.

Since it was only a thirty minute drive to the foundry from Clem's home, Ratbat decided to give Clem the day off. Using Clem's fancy car phone, Ratbat had him call in to work.

Just as the secretary picked the phone up, she heard a terrible crash and the sound of metal screeching. Soon she could hear the sounds of Clem moaning, and the crinkle of flames as his car was on fire.

Ratbat was trying to force his way out of the wrecked vehicle, but something large and heavy was keeping him in place. Frantically, he began to screech for help, unwittingly sending his distress call to Soundwave and his cassettes brethren.

the last thing they and the secretary heard was an eardrum-piercing explosion, and then no more.

[Helgraf]

((Told you so.))

As the burning fuel consumed him, Ratbat managed one last transmission.

How ... ironic.

[Trixie]

I was informed that Irbis wished to play. Sadly, I was either misinformed, or Irbis forgot.

Oh, he did, still does, he just has... certain issues now, especially with net connection

Night 4

Optimus Prime's engine roared, as he pushed his 18-Wheeler to go as fast as he could. It was imperitive they reach the refinery as fast as they could. They needed to stop the Decepticons.

But something was wrong. Every sensor in his body was screaming at him to stop. That he was going the wrong way. But somehow he could not override his urgency to get there. The humans, they needed him.

He watched as Starscream flew by overhead, likely going on a reconnaissance mission. Starscream was a reliable.....

An image flashed in Optimus' mind. Starscream firing upon the entrenched Autobots, wounding many. Another of Starscream leading a squadron of enemy units in an attack on the Ark.

Optimus swerved, almost sideswiping himself? Confused by this, he slammed on his brakes to avoid the collision.

From the air, Megatron heard the sound of tires shrieking, quickly followed by the sound of many other vehicles screaming to a hault, some of them with accompanying noise of metal smashing into metal, and glass shattering.

And at the head of the accident were two vehicles. The distinctive red and gray tractor trailer of Optimus Prime, and a white Lancia 350s sportscar. He recognized the later as the Mad Genius, Wheeljack.

With a grumble, he sent Prowl and First Aid ahead to sort the mess out and get them moving once again.

Optimus Prime shut down his sensors. They were lying to him, he knew it. He began to run a self-diagnosis on his systems. He had to purge whatever it was that was overiding his systems. He only hoped that it wouldn't be too late.

Optimus Prime/Wheeljack (Seer/Fool) almost ran into each other. One of them is out, the other will Roll On. The one that is out was played by cd4.

[Qwaz]

Time for some...Fleeing Coward? Yes. Yes I think so.

[billtodamax]

Ladies and gentle-bots, a moment of your time if you would please.

A certain red, truck-like autobot has recently contacted me to share some information pertinent to the town.

Atreyu is Frenzy.

[Gray Mage]

Oh, hey a seer claim. Atreyu, for the test.

[Qwaz]

This we gotta test.

Atreyu

[Zjoot]

Seer claim, huh?Atreyu

[Grue Bait]

Ooh, shiny new seer claim! Atreyu

[Deathslayer7]

baaaaaaaaa! atreyu

[TBFProgrammer]

Atreyu Just some grumbling about wasted days, move along.

[Internet Flea]

Atreyu....

[Vwulf DeMarcus]

Baaaaaa. Atreyu.

[The Bushranger]

Atreyu, I choose YOU!

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Atreyu! Man, you gotta love a seer test bandwagon.

[GnomeGninjas]

AtreyuI guess.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

Ummmm.....Bill....I think Optimus was disassembled last night if someone told you I'm Frenzy. You're gonna find out who I am at the end of the day anyway. I'm Ironhide. Yes, I can prove it. Just ask Lex. She'll tell you, but on the off chance you don't believe the narrator, then I'll tell you that I protected The Bushranger last night.

We can disassemble him, he won't die and then we can start to build a network up, since we lost Optimus last night.

[TBFProgrammer]

BushRanger. If Atreyu's lying we can kill him Tomorrow, and the seer is still tested this way.



The car swerved to avoid the collision and then joined up with the group attempting to push the vehicle that smelled of llama off of the road. However, the smell quickly overwhelmed it and it withdrew.

Apparently cars can smell in the universe of llama logic.

[52.5 Lemons]

Ooooo!!! A bandwagon made up nice for Atreyu, and it is full of hay.

[banjo1985]

Atreyu

I hate voting for Llama, but we have to test the potential seer claim. If its right then great, if not, Bill outs whoever he's proxying for, then we get the story from them. If Bill doesn't out them...then well we may have the Devil's proxy playing silly buggers.

You say "OPtimus claim" I say "Wheeljack claim." I'm giving Bill the benefit of the doubt and not saying "decepticon claim" because I don't think the Cep's would waste one of their own on the day baner. However, your claim puts the life of an autobot power role at risk, MY claim doesn't!!! Use your head, Banjo.

[GnomeGninjas]

bushranger

[Rogue Nine]

Atreyu. Swindle's had some communication problems, but he'll be back tomorrow hawking his wares.

[RuneboundShade]

The Bushranger, I'm with Atreyu on this one, It probably is the fool that contacted bill, but not neccessarily.

Regardless, this way works better if you ask me.

Day 5

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The earth shaking noise continued its rhythmic beat just outside the town of Harper's Lake, disrupting the lives of it's citizens.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! There had been nothing like it in the known history of the town. All the power had gone out, and the phones were dead.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The mayor had had no choice but to send someone to investigate. Fortunately, it hadn't taken them long to find the source of the disruption.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! A large red robot, one of them Transformer-thingies, was jumping up and down, waving it's arms all about. The officers who'd gone out there said it looked as if it was doing some kind of strange jumping jacks.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! After 24 hours of disturbance, a town-wide meeting was called for to discuss their options. Several still pictures were shown of the giant red menace. "What are we to do about this?" Mayor Brimley asked.

"The nearest big city is two hours away. Maybe we should send someone to get help. Maybe they have working phones." A man from the back suggested.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "Already done." The mayor answered. "I sent Chief Wagner two hours after we discoved the problem. He hasn't returned."

"We could gather some dynie-mite." An old man in the front row offered.

"Well, I guess we could....." the Mayor offered, but was cut off my a loud shriek of joy.

"It's Ironhide!!" A young girl's voice cried out from somewhere in the middle.

This was followed shortly by a twenty something mother chasing after her daughter, who was running to the front of the hall. "You can't hurt him! He's one of the good guys!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "Well, I'm sorry dear. But if we don't do something, he's......" said the exhausted mayor.

"You should try to talk to him." Demanded the girl. "You militant types. Awways shoot first. Talk later." she said as she reached the front. The mother blushed at this, as she picked the girl up.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! So, much later a delegation drove out to the leaping robot. Megaphone in hand, the mayor called up to the robot. "Mister....." SQUAAAAAAAAKKK!!! Everyone grabbed their head from the noise of the feedback.

When the mayor regained his composure, the booming of the jumping robot had stopped. Looming over him was the face of the robot. Can you tell me... what's going on here?

The mayor fell backward to the ground, fumbled with the megaphone, before deciding against its use. "W-w-we were j-just about to ask you that, s-sir Ironhide." Mayor Brimley stuttered.

Ironhide straightened back up and gave it some thought. Last thing I remember was chasing after Frenzy. he said, not knowing that the townies likely knew nothing about who Frenzy was, or why this giant robot would be chasing it.

I was trying to stomp..... Ironhide then decided to go back to where he'd been jumping, followed by the curious humans.

Sure enough, when they looked down into one of the large crevices created by Ironhide's excercise routine, they found the remains of what was a blue and grey robot (I'm going by the toy for this. I know Frenzy was Black and Red in the cartoon).

Ironhide smiled at the mayor. Looks like I got him. He then transformed into a red van and drove off, breaking the speed limit. But no one pulled him over. Ironhide had to hurry if he was to catch up with the convoy.

Frenzy (Voider) was crushed by Ironhide's jumping jacks.[/COLOR] He was played by Atreyu the Masked Llama.
