I tell Blaster to contact Cosmos to take us to Decepticon Headquarters. Blaster always asks a lot of questions. He's really not the curious inquisitive type; he's just obnoxious and annoying. I'm just thankful to Primus, or to Vector Sigma, or the Matrix, or Takara... just who is the Supreme Being? Anyway, I'm thankful that he does not have the voice of Blurr. So Blaster asks Why do I not use the shuttle. I tell Blaster that the Shuttle is not equipped for a landing on Earth. This one was designed for space travel only. Blaster asks how I landed on Clavius Crater, then. I tell him that the moon's gravity is one- sixth that of the Earth, and a routine moon landing is possible. The Earth's gravity would crush the shuttle. And besides, since the engineer who built the suttle knew it would never set down on Earth, he did not furnish a heat shield. So even if it could land, it would disintegrate during entry. Then he asks that since we're not using my shuttle, if he could siphon some energon from it to fuel Cosmos so he could make a round trip without waiting nineteen days on Earth for the next launch window. I tell Blaster that he's asking too many questions. Cosmos is pleased to take us to Earth. He was tired of spending the last two years at Lagrange 1 waiting for his role in Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4. I never knew why they cut out the part where he said, "come in at a seventy-two degree trajectory." when they released the mini-series on video. But there are other inexplicable phenomena in the Transformer Universe that I, Optimus Prime, take for granted. Like, why are there three origins for the Constructicons? And why does the Sci-Fi Channel poorly re-edit the episodes for no good reason? And Where does my trailer go when I transform? Certainly not that dumb subspace idea the Transfans came up with after the series ended and the Transformer Universe was a blank slate for them to do with as they please. But Primacron... Whoops. I got sidetracked again. Anyway, that's about as silly as Nick Morency's variable quanta theory. And why doesn't even the CyberNet Space Cube know the correct order of the North American episodes? And why did Don Perlin ever draw steel grates for Megatron's mouth? Also, how could Jetfire talk about playing Basketrek with Ballobots as part of his Cybertron experience to Donny Finkleberg in issue #15 when in the comic universe he hadn't ever set foot on Cybertron? And why do I use a lot of prepositional phrases when I get introspective? -- The Nixtr *** Transformer fan *** Abortionists make a killing in the market !
