United EX Story Tankmaster vs. Marinemaster - "Ocean Encounter" Translation

Postby El Duque » Sun Nov 25, 2012 10:44 am

Motto: "I ain't got time to bleed!"
Weapon: Gattling Gun
Our fellow Transformers fans over on The Allspark have posted the translation of the United EX story featured on the back of the Tankmaster vs Marinemaster packaging. Check out the translation mirrored below.

It was an ambush that reversed the flow of battle. The cruel assassin Tankmaster, who had revealed himself from deep within the scrap, pressed his gun to Grimmaster’s head in lieu of an introduction.
“Death to the traitor…”
These were the only words he would utter to his targets, punctuated by a single gunshot. After solemnly speaking this phrase, he began to pull the trigger… when as if by magic, the pistol flew from his hand.

The shot had come from the glistening ocean waters. A speedboat tore through the water towards the landfill, soaring through the air and transforming as it neared land.
“An Autobot?!”
Before him was Marinemaster, who had been patrolling the ocean waters.
“Don’t get too full of yourself, kid. Want to see what I’ve up got up my sleeve?”
Tankmaster’s Targetmaster partner attached to his arm in the shape of a giant claw, ready to intercept any fire. But Marinemaster, like a hovercraft skimming across the waves, displayed the same nimble footwork on land as he fired a perfectly-aimed shot from his own Targetmaster.
“What’s wrong? If you blink, you’ll miss me!”

“I’d rather not take your life, so maybe you could give me something in return? That’s assuming you don’t want to go down with the ship alongside your captain, of course.”
Marinemaster addressed his incapacitated foe.
“You’re no executioner, boy.”
“Maybe not, but at a time like this, I’ll do what I have to.”
Marinemaster’s young face wore a conflicted expression, but Tankmaster noticed a resolve in his optics that matched his words. Perhaps this was why the captive seemed oddly quick to comply.
“My life belongs to Megatron alone. I owe nothing to the so-called “High Regent” leading our forces on Earth…”
And so, the Autobots would learn of a grand scheme in play…

Well, Sabrblade was right, Marinemaster is G2 Manta Ray. Someone give him a cookie. And Tankmaster is IDW Grindcore? WOW, so out of left field.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Grindcore? :shock: I never would have guess him.

Funny thing is, as I was reading this, I kept thinking, "Okay, Marinemaster's probably Boater (since he's addressed as a kid) like others have said. Guess they were right." But then, BAM! Hydra's notes say Manta Ray. I didn't even catch the motto of his. :oops:

This is Sabrblade we're talking about. His ability to store trivial information about TV shows is downright superhuman.

Now all that's left is Buildmaster and Assaultmaster. Well, technically only Buildmaster as we know Assaultmaster is actually Clouder controlling an Eldedroid. I still say it's Devastator, but I'm willing to accept Gravedigger or even Bonecrasher or Scrapper. :lol:

As I already have the less pretty but still fun Hasbro versions, I am wholeheartedly enjoying the stories!

Yay stories! :DANCE:

EDIT: I just saw how Airmaster actually works with the dinodrones. Dayum.

True, but resurrection is no hard feat. Didn't Bruticus die in the Zone story as well, or did the Ambiguity Phenomenon save him :P Hey, what was the name of the 8th Contructicon again?

Yeah, but for him to come back so soon feels kinda lax on his death in Zone having any lasting impact.

The latter.

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Hey, what was the name of the 8th Contructicon again?
"Eighth Constructicon". ;)
