Chapter 3 : The Combaticons' Discussion
"More wagers, Swindle?"
"Yep, just saw Motormaster."
"Who'd he bet on?"
"Drag Strip, who else?"
"Which should be obvious - this is a groundbound race, not a popularity contest. I wagered on Drag Strip myself, for that matter."
"Well, don't ever tell him that, Blast-Off. He's already the runaway favorite, which gives me an idea…"
"That whoever puts energon on Wildrider could drain the pool dry, if he wins?"
"Great mechs think alike, Vortex."
"So we gonna pound Drag Strip? Cause that would be fun."
"No. We do not. Whatever you're planning, Swindle, this cannot be traced back to us."
"No worries, boss. I'm thinking some psychological pressure at the start and a few little obstacles along the way later. And in the end, the Stunticon Canary should be in a mess that even Hook won't be able to put back together."
"Now that would be fun. What do you have in mind?"
"Plan A is going to require a little paint, a lot of explosives and one of these."
"A photo?"
"Primus, Brawl, look at what's in the picture."
"Oh. Hey, that looks kinda like--"
"Not bad."
"What's Plan B?"
"One at a time, friends! And let me have some well-deserved energon first."
