Subject: FANFIC: CLASTER BLUES, PART 2 (OF 5) From: thenixtr@acy1.digex.net (The Nixtr) Date: 1996/04/19 Message-Id: <4l9a5c$3qf@acy1.digex.net> Organization: The Morency Universe Newsgroups: alt.toys.transformers ... Part 2. Megatron is down there in his underwater headquarters. So I have to contact him. But only Seize-prey (had to sneak in one funny name) has aquatic capabilities. Unless Manta Ray in the comic universe does not take place in an alternate reality or the future timeline. And Bumblebee doesn't like water, or is that just rain: acid or otherwise? I think Bumblebee said only rain in Divide and Conquer. Broadside is an aircraft carrier, so he may do. And Quickswitch is a hovercraft. Wait. I shouldn't think a conjunction as the first word in the sentence. Actually, Scourge is supposed to be a hovercraft too, right? Then how come he's always flying around like a spaceship in the cartoon? I know he's streamlined, but please! Who confused him for a jet/ spaceship anyway? It says he's a hovercraft right on the box! Well, None of the Autobots will go down there and disturb Megatron willingly. That's why I use an alternative approach. I board my shuttle and leave this mecca of near-infinite information and fly to the Earth's moon. I've been here before, in another episode: Blaster Blues. I remember that day well, and I remember the lesson Blaster learned. It's kind of funny; once in a while these stories end with some moral relevance. Whether or not the authors intend them to be there is another thing. Anyway, Blaster really thought he was getting the good end of the bargain when I filed him for his FCC license to broadcast from the moon. Ha! I merely did that so I could be rid of him and his annoying rock music! So now he broadcasts to unsuspecting dupes on half the globe from the site where Queen Beryl destroyed the Moon Kingdom a thousand years ago. Boy, the things you miss when you're dormant for four million years. I dock my craft on the moon. Then I disembark and pay a visit to Blaster's radio station, KBOT. (Hey, you think of something funnier with so few letters.) Blaster says he's happy to greet me and thinks I'm here to listen to some tunes. I answer by saying why would I want to waste fuel and energon to come this far when I have all the music in recorded human history from Thomas Edison to Snoop Doggy Dogg in the CyberNet Space Cube? Besides, If I wanted to hear Blaster's music, wouldn't it be more efficient tuning in? After all, The Space Cube has an antenna and receiver and Teletran 1 can relay the signal right to it. Blaster says live for the moment, Prime. Blaster digresses, wonders why he's named Claster in the title. I say Claster is the name of the distributer of the cartoon and it is supposed to represent the inner workings of the powers behind the Transformers. I add that it is mere coincidence that he is in the story. He says it just makes his day. I tell Blaster I want him to send a message to Decepticon headquarters. Tell Soundwave I want to form an alliance with Megatron. Blaster transforms into radio mode and sends the message. "Optimus Prime, do you read me? The Decepticons are blitzing Autobot City. We're really taking a pounding. Don't know how much longer we can hold out." "What on Cybertron was that?" "Whoops! Wrong transmission." -- The Nixtr *** Transformer fan *** Abortionists make a killing in the market !
