Megatron and I meet at a prearranged site- Allen Sherman Dam. Megatron says to me, So, Optimus, we meet again at last. Remember the last time we met here? And I say, yes. Wanna have another bout with those laser rod-type weapon, like we did in the scene from More Than Meets the Eye, part 2? And he says, no. We don't want to overkill a good idea. So I tell him I'm glad he's still a gun and not a tank. He says he likes the Generation 1 figures better. That's good because I have plans for him in gun mode. It really would be hard to pick him up in tank mode. He says he knows why I'm here, to form an alliance against Marvel. I ask him how he knows that, and he says because he read the Generation 2 story. We form an alliance, and if you follow issues nine and ten, you see that it's almost as if we can read each other's mind. I say to him it's just a story. He says Prime, we've been fighting each other four zillion years. You should know it's true. I say prove it. He says think of something and he'll freely associate it. I say he's mixing metaphors. He tells me to get an English book and start thinking. I think Rebirth. He says "Corny." I think Underbase. He says, "Borg Ship." I think, Monteverde. He says, "Shredder." I think, Barbie Doll. He says, "Trendy." I think, Bill Gates. He says, "Machiavellian." I think Volvo. He says, "Sexy." I think Dilbert. He says, "Sullivan." Then Megatron tells me something important. He tells me that Marvel is small potatoes. He told me about Kenner and something called Beast Wars. He said that they were going to change us from sophisticated beings to instinctive animals. I said it's a rumor. But he confirms it. I knew I had to hear it from a Transformer to believe it. Then Megatron asks me where I've been since 1992. I say I was watching Japanese episodes of Transformers and studying up on Tech Specs up on the CyberNet Space Cube. He says I should invest in a Warworld instead. It's more dynamic. He says the Cube probably doesn't even have the new Residents album. I ask what new Residents album. He says he rests his case. I proceed to ask him what's really so bad about Beast Wars that we have to get so upset over it, anyway? He says, let me put it this way: you are now a bat named Optimus Primal. I transform Megatron to a gun and run with anger to Kenner's main office. -- The Nixtr *** Transformer fan *** Abortionists make a killing in the market !
