Dr Arkeville Experiments
Chapter 1: Galvatron's New Decepticons
Dr. Arkeville Lab
Nevada Desert
Dr. Arkeville is in a large laboratory that has ten large metal tables with metal restrains on them as well as loads of research paper on a table and a CD/Record player that has the Decepticon symbol on it. He is with his lab partner Dr. Michel Legal, who is looking at his research. "You're insane, Dr. Arkeville. The board of directors won't allow you to do human testing," says Dr. Michel Legal, agitated.
"I don't plan on informing them or even asking them," Dr Arkeville replies calmly.
"I won't let you do such a thing. I'll contact the board and have your research shut down," says Dr. Michel Legal, turning away to look at some incoming data.
"All I'm really doing is improving human genome and allowing us to evolve into the next step of our evolution," Dr. Arkeville counters levelly, picking up an injection gun, which has a glowing silver liquid inside it.
"No doctor, what you are planning to do is sick and inhumane, and I am going to the board of directors and will have you locked up in a mental facility!" Dr. Michel Legal cries, watching his lab partner carefully.
"I'm sorry, but my employer won't be happy." He smiles disarmingly. "Oh well, time to get my first test subject underway," Dr Arkeville murmurs to himself as he walks up behind his lab partner and casually injects the liquid into the back of his neck.
The African American immediately jerks away. "What have you done?" asks Dr. Legal, holding the back of his neck in fear. He rubs the skin in an attempt dull the pain. Much to his dismay, the pain travels down his body.
"Quite simple, my friend, I've injected you with a Technorganic Virus that will mutate your weak, feeble human body into that of a more powerful thing: that of a transformer," Dr Arkeville answers, laughing.
"I want you to stop it!" Dr. Michel Legal shouts painfully as he drops to his knees, holding his stomach and whimpering.
"No. Why would I want to stop it? To make humans better and allow them to go to the next step of evolution," Dr Arkeville counters with evil grin on his face.
"You're sick and inhuman and a complete madman, Dr. Arkeville! So what are you going to gain from this?" Dr. Michel Legal pleads, alarm settling in.
"Nothing, but my true boss will get something out of this, and you are going to the first of many to that will be working for him." Dr. Arkeville smirks and watches as Dr. Michel Legal looks up at him, but his eyes had become transformed into optics.
"Soundwave, time to report to Galvatron and inform him that we are ready to create a new army of Decepticons for him," the mad scientist announces. Just now, the CD player transforms into its robot form, and Soundwave presses a button on his chest, ejecting a video tape, which transforms into the Decepticon soldier Ravage.
"Ravage, report back to Galvatron that we are ready to create his new breed of Decepticon soldiers," says Soundwave. Ravage growls, nods, and warps away. "What do we do with this one?" Soundwave asks, looking at Dr Michel Legal, whose lower legs had transformed into white and black trim robotic legs. A strange mixture of energon and blood oozes from his knees, where the transformation met flesh. The poor man whimpers at the pain.
"Place him on the table, please. I want to see how long it takes for a person to become a transformer," said Dr. Arkeville. Soundwave picks up the lab rat and places him on the first metal table. The metal restrains lock him in place his arms. His hands become machine like. He grows five feet, while his body becomes like his arms and legs all with black and white trim. "I'll make you pay for this Dr Arkeville," Dr Michel Legal promises before his human personality starts to lose its hold and his head becomes robotic. The last bit of the scientist is gone. All that remains is a ten foot seven transformer who has a white body.
"So it looks like it takes about five minutes. He still needs a vehicle mode," Dr Arkeville laughs evilly.
"We need to see what our lord thinks to that," says Soundwave.
Decepticon base
The Moon
Galvatron sit on his throne, as his Decepticons soldiers do absolutely nothing as always. 'I'm surrounded by worthless soldiers who weren't able to catch me the mini-cons and can't defeat the worthless Autobots,' thinks Galvatron as he watches Cyclonus and Demolishor sleep. Just then, Ravage jumps over the sleeping Decepticons and lands at the feet of Galvatron. "What do you have to report?" Ravage projects a 3D image of Soundwave and Dr Arkeville. "My most trusted Lieutenant Soundwave and Dr. Arkeville, tell me that you have something for me."
"Master Galvatron, Dr. Arkeville is ready to create for you some new Decepticons soldiers to replace you current soldiers," the projection states.
"Excellent. I'm on my way," says Galvatron as he rises from his throne. Immediately he leaves with Ravage, warping to Dr Arkeville lab.
Few minutes later
Dr Arkeville Lab
Galvatron arrives at Dr Arkeville as he studies his first new Decepticon soldier, the white Transformer that used to be Dr. Michel Legal. "So what poor soul was this person then?" inquires Galvatron.
"Why, my lab partner, Dr. Legal," answers Dr. Arkeville.
"You are inhuman," scoffs Galvatron, arms crossed in amusement.
"He had it coming. I needed someone to test our Allspark virus on," counters Dr Arkeville.
"I see it works. Excellent! Now we need to get some people to use this to create my personal army of elite Decepticon soldiers to replace Cyclonus, Demolishor, and that traitor and backstabber Starscream. So how many can you create with your All Sparks virus?" questions Galvatron.
"Yes sir, we are able to create many new Decepticons for you, Galvatron my lord," answers Dr. Arkeville.
"I will want you to capture Alexis, Rad, and Carlos. They are close to the Autobots, and, while you are at it, capture their mini-cons Highwire, Grinder, and Sureshock. I have use for them as well," commands Galvatron, directing the order to Soundwave.
"Yes sir, Galvatron," declares Soundwave. He then presses a button on his chest and ejects three tapes that transform into the Decepticon soldiers Rumble, Buzzsaw, and Frenzy.
"Rumble, Frenzy, Buzzsaw, I want you to capture Alexis, Carlos, and Rad with their mini-cons and bring them here," orders Soundwave.
"You got it sir," says Rumble.
"I'll help them," offers Dr. Arkeville. Then Rumble, Frenzy, Soundwave, Ravage, and Buzzsaw take Dr. Arkeville as they teleport away. As Megatron watches his soldiers leave, his gaze drifts to the still form of the new transformer, and he smirks victoriously.
Airplane Hanger
McKenzie Air force base
Sabrina Kendall is inside her workshop, working under a Black Apache gunship. She has a tray of tools at her feet, and her green overalls are covered in machine oil and petrol. Also in the workshop are other military helicopters, and one of these is a Cobra attack helicopter. She tries to reach for a monkey wrench on the tray near her feet. "I can't reach it," whines the brunette, as she stretches her reach to its limit. Just then, Alexis arrives in her mini-con partner Sureshock, who is in his vehicle mode.
"Hey Sabrina, are you all ready to meet up with Rad and Carlos?" asks Alexis.
Sabrina nods. "Sure thing, but can you please pass me that monkey wrench. I really need to fix this chopper first. My dad's short handed these days," explains Sabrina Kendall as she tries to reach for it again.
"Sure thing, Sabrina," says Alexis. She walks over to the tools, picks up the monkey wrench, and gives it to Sabrina, whose hands are covered in machine oil. After a few minutes, the grease monkey finishes repairing the engine and slides from under from the helicopter. She has machine oil covering her face and hair.
"Hey Alexis, just give me few minutes to wash up and grab my jacket," requests Sabrina Kendall. Alexis nods as her friend walks over to a sink, washes her hands and face, grabs her jacket, and walks back to Alexis. "I'm ready to get going," sings Sabrina Kendall.
"Hey I didn't know you had a CD player in your workshop," states Alexis, quizzically, as she caught sight of the CD player.
"Hey, you know me, Alexis. I only listen to my I-pod when I'm fixing helicopters," states Sabrina Kendall, with equal confusion, and looks over to the where the CD player transforms into Soundwave.
"Oh hell, it's a Decepticon! Run!" Alexis screams as she took off for the door.
"You are not going anywhere," a voice threatens that Alexis knew. She stops when she realizes Sabrina isn't following.
"Is that Galvatron?" a surprised Sabrina Kendall asks, walking backwards to the helicopter.
"Yeah," confirms Alexis, looking at her friend Sureshock, who had just transformed into his robot mode. In awe, Sabrina looks at Sureshock.
"Do you think that thing can defeat Master Galvatron?" asks Soundwave in scorn.
"I will do what ever it takes to protect mistress Alexis," retorts Sureshock in beeping tones.
Soundwave ejects a black tape that transforms into a jaguar. "Ravage, capture them." Ravage then charges at Alexis and Sabrina, but Sureshock takes the hit, which knocks him to the ground.
"Run mistress, Alexis," pleads the mini-con in his beeping code. Following his plead, Sabrina runs for the exit, dragging Alexis with her.
But Soundwave ejects two more partners, a black tape and purple tape, which then transform into smaller transformers. "Frenzy and Rumble capture them," he orders.
Frenzy and Rumble quickly grab Alexis and Sabrina. "You are both coming with me," says Galvatron as he watches Alexis struggle against Frenzy's hold and Sabrina's struggle with Rumble.
"Let me go Rust-bucket!" screams Sabrina trying to break free.
"You're not going anywhere Flesh thing," Frenzy ridicules her feeble attempts.
"Yeah, Galvatron wants you both for this," adds Rumble, ignoring the failing escape.
"You two will make fine Decepticons, my dears," marvels Galvatron.
"Ain't going to happen, pal!" Sabrina seethes. Worn out, she stills in Rumble's arms.
"Oh, but it is, my dear, and I'm the one who's going to do it," proclaims Dr Arkeville. As he enters, he carries a silver case in his right hand and in his left holds a new injection gun with the same liquid as before. Briskly, he walks over to Rumble and Sabrina and injects the liquid into Sabrina's body via the back of her neck.
"What are you doing to her?" asks Alexis as she watches Sabrina tremble in pain. Nonchalantly, Rumble drops Sabrina, who lets out, "oof."
"Quite simple, my dear, soon she will become a Transformer, and soon I'll be doing it to you," says Galvatron with pride.
After five minutes, Sabrina no longer has her human body, for she became a femmebot with blue optics. She is fifteen feet tall, and her body is black with a mixture of green. Without knowing it, she scans the Apache gunship that she had been working just a few minutes ago, and her body reconfigures to include the vehicle parts.
"Oh my head, what happened to me? I feel different," says Sabrina in alarm. She notices that her voice is same as before but is more computerized. She looks at her friend Alexis for answers, but her friend only produces a shocked look on her face. "What is it Alexis?"
"You became a Transformer, but that's impossible," answers Alexis still in shock.
Sabrina then looks down to the ground and finds her clothes torn to shreds. She screams in distress. Fervently, she rubs her new metallic arms, hoping to scrub the metal off and find her flesh. She screams again.
Ignoring the freak out session, Galvatron compliments the scientist, "Excellent work, Dr Arkeville, you have created my first fully working Decepticon soldier. Now for Alexis to become like her friend."
Soundwave picks up Sureshock by the throat to prevent him from interfering. "Yes, my master Galvatron," says Dr. Arkeville as he opens the injection gun that had the mutagen. Menacingly, he walks to Alexis and injects her with mutagen. It had the same effect as it did on Sabrina, so her body mutates and grows. The new pressure rips her clothes, and they fall to the ground. After five minutes, her body finishes mutating, and she is the same height as Sabrina with blue optics, but her body is pure green. Neither of the two female Transformers have any marks on them stating which side they are on.
"I think it's time to reprogram you two to follow my orders," suggests Galvatron.
"No, you won't," exclaims Alexis in her new computerized voice, and she scans the Cobra helicopter gunship that is next to the Apache helicopter. "Follow what I do Sabrina," yells Alexis.
Smirking, Galvatron orders, "Soundwave, I want you to rip that piece of junk apart for me." The two girls pause at the order.
"Please mistress Alexis, run for it! Tell the Autobots what they are planning," pleads Sureshock in his beep code form, and Alexia and Sabrina watch in horror as Soundwave grabs his legs and then rips him in half and throws his body to the sides of him.
"Sureshock, no!" bawls Alexis. She stands dumbfounded.
"We have to get out of here and tell the Autobots what they are doing," Sabrina begs as she tugs at the green femmebot's arm.
After much resistance, Alexis finally relents, "…Yeah," and she and Sabrina then transform into their vehicle modes and fly out of the airport hangar. The mini-cons take chase, but they are too slow in grounding them. The girls escape.
"Next time we do this in your lab Dr. Arkeville," says Galvatron, angrily.
"Yes, my lord Galvatron," says said human, reverently, and the Decepticon soldiers warp away.
Flying in their vehicle modes, Alexis and Sabrina pay their respects for the mini-con. "Are you ok, Sabrina? I'm sure Red Alert can find a way to turn us back to our human form," consoles Alexis, but Sabrina is too busy looking at the scenery of the wilderness as they pass over it near mission City.
"Oh sorry, sure, it's just that I always dreamed of flying an Apace gunship, but I never thought I'd be doing it like this," Sabrina sighs. "Are you alright, Alexis?"
"I don't really know about Rad and Carlos. Will Galvatron go after them?"
"They will… we have to help them."
"Let's do it," says Alexis, "for Sureshock."
Restaurant
Mission City, USA
A number of people sit outside eating their meals. Two of these are friends. Rad and Carlos sit near their mini-con friends Highway and Grinder who are in their vehicle modes of BMX bike and skateboard. Two others arrive at the table. "Hey, mind if we join you?" asks Sonya Dawson shyly.
"Yeah, sure." Rad shrugs and motions to the empty chairs. She and her twin brother Brad Dawson join them at the table. Both have brown hair.
At the next table is Bruce Beecroft, reading an army/military vehicle book, with his friend Goth student Maria Krechrick. Both are older than the kids are. He looks up and notices the group. "Hey Carlos, good buddy, have you seen Sabrina yet?" asks Bruce, dragging his fingers through his spiked hair.
"No dude, we think Alexis went to pick up Sabrina," explains Carlos, shrugging. And the six converse in small talk.
Over-looking these teens are Decepticon soldiers Ravage and Rumble. "Soundwave, we have located Rad and Carlos. What are your orders, master?" asks Rumble.
Just then, Soundwave and Dr. Arkeville arrive via warping. The doctor is holding the silver case, and, soon, Galvatron arrives. "What shall we do now, Master Galvatron?" asks Rumble.
"I want to remove their means of contacting the Autobots. His name is Lazerbeak. Then we take the lot of them and turn them into Decepticon soldiers," answers Galvatron.
"Yes, sir, Galvatron," says Soundwave, and he presses a button on his chest and launches Frenzy and Buzzsaw. "Buzzsaw watch them 'til Galvatron arrives," says Soundwave, and Buzzsaw flies over the group. "Frenzy, Ravage, and Rumble, distract Highway and Grinder to draw out Lazerbeak, so I can capture it."
"Yes sir, Soundwave," says Rumble and Frenzy in unison, saluting. From their hiding place, they watch as the local school quarterback and school bully Paul Fowler, his fellow teammate Jean-Luc Maxwell, Paul's girlfriend Tiffany Melbourne, Felix Atkinson (a second teammate of Paul Fowler), and his girlfriend Ashley O'Sullivan all invade the group. Both girls wear their cheerleader uniforms proudly as if to say, "I am your superior."
"So why are you hanging around with those Autobots losers anyway?" asks Paul Fowler, announcing their arrival.
All discussion ends as the group of friend eye warily the new arrivals, until Carlos asks, "What are you on about Paul? We don't now what you are talking about dude."
Paul sneers back, "Don't call me dude. I know you are lying. Autobots are weak and foolish: they won't kill to get a job done, unlike the Decepticons. Those guys are much better because they will do anything to get what they want."
"Yeah, the Decepticons are so cool," adds Tiffany Melbourne, wrapping her arm around Paul's waist.
"I guess you jocks like the Cobra losers of the eighties that were beaten by GI Joes," mocks Bruce Beecroft, smirking.
"Keep out of this, Four-eyes," snarls Jean-Luc Maxwell.
Sticking up for his friend, Rad injects, "The Decepticons are cowards and have no honor. They only care about themselves and will kill their own leader for a much powerful leader."
Paul Fowler counters with "Yeah, that's the right thing to do for a much powerful leader."
"I'm with Paul; better kill a weak leader for much powerful one," adds Felix Hawkins, pushing up his sunglasses.
"You to sound like idiots to me for liking the Decepticons," Bruce Beecroft laughs. "They are cowards like the Cobra terrorist group and their power struggle between Cobra Commander and Destro. They were defeated by GI Joe."
"Yeah I know, and those has-beens have been disbanded like the losers they are," says Ashley O'Sullivan, placing her manicured hands on her hips. Felix smirks and pecks her on the lips.
"Hey, they saved Washington DC from the Cobras and their leaders Cobra Commander and Serpentor. My father saw them in action that day," admits Bruce Beecroft proudly.
"You should keep out of things you don't know, wimp. You'll never make a Joe," sneers Tiffany Melbourne. "You're like that loser of theirs Lifeline who was pacifist and never killed anybody." Paul rests his head on hers.
"Hey!" Maria Krechrick butts in. "Lifeline was medic! Medics are not soldiers! It takes courage to save lives, too."
"What would you know, Gothic bitch?" Ashley mocks. "Medics are the weak link of a team."
Back to the Decepticons, Galvatron muses, "Those bullies are strong and already hate the Autobots… my kind of people." He smirks, and he turns to see, heading his way, a fighter jet that looks like Starscream but was purple and white. "I do believe one of my top soldiers has come to help me." As he looks at the fighter, it transforms into a femmebot with Deception marks. "Welcome Commander Skywarp, what have you to report?"
"I'm here to serve you, lord Galvatron, to tell you that my forces are here on Earth," answers Skywarp.
Intrigued, Galvatron asks, "So who have you brought for me, Skywarp?"
"I brought you the best soldiers I could find Master Galvatron. I brought you Scourge, Crumblezone, and Barricade, plus Swindle and his fellow Combaticons that form Bruticus. I can bring you more, Master Galvatron. Soundwave has already filled me in on your plan, Master Galvatron. Barricade and Scourge will be in position soon to capture your targets."
"Excellent work Skywarp!" He praises. "You were always my best."
"Sir Shockwave has the space bridge up and running to your new base as ordered," adds Skywarp.
Outside the Restaurant
Rad and Carlos continue talking with Sonya and Brad Dawson as they watch Tiffany Melbourne, Paul Fowler, Jean-Luc Maxwell, Felix Atkinson, and Ashley O'Sullivan walk over Bruce Beecroft and Maria Krechrick.
"Why don't you get a life, four-eyes? They'll never let you drive a tank or become one of those wimpy GI Joes," ridicules Jean-Luc Maxwell as he straightens his fingerless gloves.
"Yeah, whatever." Bruce Beecroft rolls his eyes, clearly done with the conversation. He was just about to return to his book, but he caught sight of a Black Section 7 land rover park opposite the restaurant and a black FBI Hummer parked near the Section 7 vehicle. Both of them had no driver but had a Decepticons logo on license plate. "Urm, I think we have a problem," mutters Bruce Beecroft to Maria. Both watch as the section 7 vehicle transforms into Barricade and FBI SUV transformed into Scourge.
"Oh, yeah! We are going to see some Decepticon action!" Jean-Luc Maxwell pumps his fist into the air, letting out a "whoop!" as Soundwave, carrying Dr Arkeville and his silver case, Galvatron Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Buzzsaw, and Skywarp arrive in the scene.
"What happened to Starscream?" whispers Carlos to no one in particular.
Skywarp stiffens, insulted. "I'm nothing like that loser of a brother. I'm only loyal to my lord Galvatron." Skywarp draws a sword, which is similar to Starscream's weapon. Just then, a Cobra and an Apache helicopter head toward the Decepticons. Both transform into their bi-pedal form, and they knock Barricade and Scourge to the ground.
Rad took Lazerbeak out of his pocket. "Lazerbeak, contact the Autobots. We are going to need their help," says Rad as he lets him go, but Lazerbeak only makes it so far before Soundwave blasts him out of the sky and catches the fallen Transformer. "No!"
"Thank you, Soundwave," comments Galvatron.
"You're welcome, Master Galvatron," replies Soundwave as he reprograms Lazerbeak into a Decepticon soldier and into a tape.
Seething in anger, the Cobra helicopter cries, "Leave them alone, Galvatron!" with Alexis's voice.
Stunned, Rad asks, "Alexis is that you?" with a shocked look on his face. "What happened to you?"
"It's hard to explain what happened, Rad. So here it goes: Doctor Arkeville injected Sabrina and me with a mutagen that transformed us into this, and Soundwave destroyed Sureshock. How's that for what happened?"
Just then, Highwire and Grinder transform into their Transformer form, and Grinder goes for Frenzy, but the Decepticon uses his use his dual pistol and blasts Grinder, destroying him. "Oh boy, that was fun, wasn't it?" Frenzy laughs.
"Grinder," chokes Carlos.
"Doctor Arkeville, do your thing," commands Galvatron. "Now, I want Rad left out of this; I want him to tell Optimus Prime what I'm doing to his precious fleshlings."
"Yes, Master Galvatron. I need you, Frenzy. Come over and help me," requests Dr. Arkeville.
"Yes, ok master, what you need me for?" questions Frenzy as he jogs over to Dr. Arkeville, who then opens his silver case to reveal nine syringes all filled with Energon Mutagen. "Inject everyone except Rad with these," says Dr. Arkeville, handing them over.
"Yes Master. Leave Rad alone, and use Energon Mutagen on the others. Got it," says Frenzy flippantly. He takes the all nine syringes and immediately jumps on the back of Carlos. "Hey! Get off me, tin can!" yells Carlos, trying to throw him off, but Frenzy injects him with one of the syringes. Quickly and effectively, he jumps on Paul Fowler and injects, then Tiffany. All three of them fell to their knees as their bodies start to mutate. Quickly, Frenzy injects Jean-Luc Maxwell Felix Atkinson, Ashley O'Sullivan, and Sonya and Brad Dawson. They soon fall to the ground in pain as their bodies start mutating.
"I want them taken to Doctor Arkeville's lab now before they have a chance to escape in a vehicle mode," says Galvatron.
"Yes, master," responds Skywarp, and he turns around and barks, "Scourge, Barricade, take them now!" Barricade, Scourge, and Skywarp grab the people just injected with the mutagen, and the three Decepticon escape with them. Alexis and Sabrina try to stop them, but to no effect.
Meanwhile, Frenzy jumps on Bruce Beecroft's back and injects him in the back of his neck and jumps towards Maria, but by Bruce grabs him, relying on the new Transformer strength he received from the mutagen. "Oh no you don't, bucket head! Run Maria!" shouts Bruce Beecroft as he throws Frenzy into the wall.
"Ouch," says Frenzy.
Bruce gives Maria a pleading look as the pain settled in and shoos her away, but she doesn't listen. "Bruce, are you ok?" asks Maria, trying to help him up, but he was too heavy.
Frenzy then jumps on her back. "Poor choice, lady." He grins and injects her with the mutagen, and she drops to her knees in pain.
In the desperation of the moment, Maria kisses Bruce. "I know you have always liked me."
"Yeah, I guess it's no secret now," murmurs Bruce Beecroft as he pulls Maria into a hug. The moment is ruined when Soundwave grabs Bruce and Maria and warps away with them.
"What have you done to them, Galvatron?" screams Rad as Frenzy returns to Galvatron's side.
"Your friends will soon be my new Decepticon soldiers to replace my current worthless Decepticons soldiers."
"Rad, please tell Optimus what's going on, please," begs Alexis. Both femmes intercept Galvatron's path.
"Run now, Rad!" pleads Sabrina.
Amused at their antics, Galvatron asks, "Do you really think you can stop me?"
"We do," nods Sabrina. She charges Galvatron and grabs hold of one of his arms, as did Alexis with his other arm, as Rad makes his escape on Highwire. He glances back and watches Galvatron grab both Sabrina and Alexis by the throat and warp away with them. Skywarp returns a few minutes later for Dr. Arkeville, Soundwave returns for his partners, and they all warp back to the facility.
Dr Arkeville lab
Nevada desert,
Back at Dr Arkeville's lab, Alexis and Sabrina are placed on steel tables and held in place by steel restraints. Sabrina is next to Sonya, and Alexis is next to Carlos. They have all become Transformers. They all see Tiffany Melbourne, Jean-Luc Maxwell, Ashley O'Sullivan, Felix Atkinson, and Paul Fowler have been turned into Transformers, but they are standing at Galvatron's side, and they have red eyes.
"What are you doing, Paul?" questions Sonya, whose voice is now more computerized than her human voice. Her Transformer form is without a vehicle mode like the others, expect for Alexis and Sabrina.
Paul Fowler announces, "What I always wanted: Power and I know I have it, so what if I have to join the Decepticons? Then I will, and my name is now Hiss. Paul Fowler is dead."
Carlos asks, "What about you Jean-Luc? Are joining the Decepticons, too?"
"I want power, which Galvatron can give me." He shrugs. "You can call me Zero, Jean-Luc Maxwell no more."
"Where do you stand, Tiffany?" asks Sabrina, having an idea of what the answer would be.
"I always stand with my boyfriend, Paul. I joined the Decepticon, but Tiffany is gone. My name is Vixen."
"Where are you standing, Felix, Ashley?" asks Alexis, dreadfully.
Felix replies, "We stand with the Decepticons. My name is Polaris. Felix is dead."
Ashley adds, "Same with me, but my name is Watchdog."
"Why do you need those losers when you have us?" asks Zero to Galvatron.
"Because I don't want them to join Optimus Prime and the Autobots," said Galvatron.
"Yes, master Galvatron," agrees Zero. He nods as if the thought never occurred to him.
"Soundwave, take Zero, Hiss, Polaris, Watchdog, and Vixen, and find a vehicle mode for them," orders Galvatron.
"Yes, master Galvatron," consents Soundwave, and he leaves with Zero, Vixen, Polaris, Watchdog, and Hiss. Soundwave leads them to a large computer, and he brings up hardware specs for five vehicles that belonged to the Cobra terrorist group. The first one is a Cobra Hiss Tank, which Hiss scans, and his Transformer body reconfigures with parts of the Hiss Tank. Soundwave also brings up specs for a Cobra Rattler, which Zero scans, and his body reconfigures with his vehicle mode. Then, Soundwave brings up specs for a Cobra Stunner, which Vixen scans, and her body reconfigures with her vehicle mode. Next, he brings up specs for a Cobra Moray, and Watchdog scans it; her body reconfigures with her vehicle mode. The final vehicle specs bring up a Cobra ATV, and Polaris scans the vehicle; his body reconfigures with his vehicle mode.
"Let's go," instructs Soundwave, and he heads back to Galvatron, followed by Hiss, Vixen, Polaris, Watchdog, and Zero.
"Prime will stop you, Galvatron," hisses Alexis.
"No, I'm afraid he won't, my dear. You'll soon be seeing things my way," soothes Galvatron in a mocking voice. He laughs evilly.
"I don't think so," barks Alexis back.
Ignoring her, the Decepticon leader turns to Skywarp. "Skywarp, take your unit and our new recruits and gain information on some criminals and local polices and military units."
"Yes, Master Galvatron," answers Skywarp, and she walks away with Crumblezone, Barricade, Scourge, Zero, Hiss, Polaris, Watchdog, and Vixen.
