... the battle fields of Seibertron, once filled with the clashes of Battle Blades, the pew pew pews of X-Ray lasers, the sounds of Mini-Cons being murdered ... now, the battle fields almost quiet, the lights and sounds of former strongholds now dim and quiet, small skirmishes appear now and then, but for the most part, the battle fields have fallen silent.

Commanders long left, the repair and upgrade crew absent.

In Iacon, a small figure hops around putting up posters of memes.

In a small bunker, his face lit by the light of his monitor, an over-worked and never paid Admin toils away, smiting spambots, his desire to interact with the rest of the populace has wained, his desire to wage war against the news crew is pointless ... they never pay attention anyway.

He looks at the date, Christmas is approaching, he decides he should do something.

"I'll rotate in those Christmas alts!" he thinks to himself.

He finds one.

Then remembers the Autobot alt mode rotation algorithm is borked. He utters a murmour of disconent and contemplates quitting.

"I'll whip up some Christmas missions!" he things to himself.

Then he remembers the lack of time he has as a freshly minted Operations Manager.

So he finds old Christmas missions and re-activates them. He modifies them to cover more levels and to give more rewards.

He opens up a communication screen and calls up his creations.

"Piss off, we're retired" Gore declares, without even a hello.
"It's Christmas you twatwaffle, get off your arses and do something"
"How about you get off your arse and unpack us? It's been over a year! We're your kitbashes but we are still boxed!"
"I need to find the right place for you!"
"You could put us anywhere!"
"You want more to put you somewhere the cat will get to you? You didn't see what she tried to do to Impactor..."
"Fair point" Gore conceeds before cutting off the transmission "We're still retired" he mutters.

It's not much, but I hope you enjoy the small changes I've made. If you don't, by all means, please express your criticism so I can ban your ungrateful arse.

Have a good Christmas and New Year, stay safe, try not to murder any relatives, praise be to Santa, or if none of that applies to you, just have a good whatever it is you're up to around this time of year.

Festivus is upon us? We need a pole, for the Airing of Grievances! Quick, White_Noise, grab that Hammer of Banning! We'll let Burn go first. It is his hammer, after all.

I dare not covet, let alone grab, the Hammer of Banning :-s

Half my team is in the cr after a long day of xp farming. The other half are on shift. I don't know about anyone else, but I am. These missions rock, and they are getting 4 on 5, 5 on 5, and 6 on 6 matchups. Other than a few stragglers who didn't get the memo, nearly everybodies in.

I turned off a few of the others to ensure these generated.

Might even bump up the payouts a bit more too.

Let the Yule battle carnage reap havoc!

There's a kangaroo putting up memes?
I blame Burn, only he could import them from Imaginary-Land-Downunder.

We want to have a snowball fight, Uncle Burn. Can you make us up some snowball launchers for the north pole missions? Nothing too fancy, maybe just reskin some halfway decent guns for us?

Yuletide greetings and all the best wishes of the season to everyone (even Autobots).

Payouts for those Christmas missions have also been slightly increased.
