The scene is a stage, somewhere on Cybertron but with a video signal transmitting throughout all known space. As an audience applauds, leader of the IMaginAry CONSPiracY and supporter of the Maximal cause in the Heavy Metal War, Wingz steps out onto the stage. Smiling, she holds up a hand and the applause fades.

"Thank you, all, for coming here tonight... and even more thanks to everyone who helped make the One Wild Weekend a success last week!"

There's more applause for a moment before Wingz raises her hand again, "Of everyone that should be thanked for taking part, HMW's favorite killer rabbit should be topping the list for his sportsmanship and good conductivity... I mean, good conduct. Sorry, it was just such an electrifying event."

Laughter ensues for but a moment, "Now, we all know what the stakes were... and speaking of stakes, did anyone bet on the Triple Crown winner? We could buy a programmer if you did. Guess not. ...Anyway, as a faction, the Autobots - and Burn - came up with several ideas for Bun-Bun to pay his forfeit and we just couldn't choose. So, we thought we'd give him a fighting chance and let him make the choice. And here tonight to help us, we know him, we tolerate him, the Mars Planetary Defence Force’s own... Turbo Magnus!"

Slowly, the camera pans to where Turbo is standing in front of a set of three doors wearing a sequinned evening gown and feathered boa. Almost immediately, the signal cuts out and is replaced with a 'We're Sorry. We Are Having Technical Difficulties' card. After several minutes, the signal returns and Turbo is now wearing grey cargo shorts and a camoflague shirt.

"Sorry about that, folks," Wingz shakes her head. "I didn't know he was going to do that. But, hey, wasn't that a beautiful boa he had there?"

By the doors, Turbo wrinkles his nose up and snorts, "Knew I should’ve gone with the Constrictor instead of the feathers... Moving on, it's simple. We've got three possible builds created by the great minds in the Iacon forum - and Burn - and three doors that they're randomized behind. Even I'm not entirely sure what's where since I trusted putting them there to a D20 and a horde of baby South Carolina Tree Monkeys. Now, Bun-Bun, you'll pick two doors. The builds behind each door will be used for two weeks each, which one is first and which is second would be up to you. “

“Don’t forget the penalty clause, Turbo,” Wingz speaks up. “If he wants to get out of a build early, he can opt to swap for the build that was behind the last door for the remainder of the two weeks. Otherwise, he's stuck with the two he chose. But! He only has this option once during the four week period, after that there’s no changing.”

Turbo nods, “Too true, Wingz; It forces him to ask the age old question, is the devil you know really better than the one you don’t. Now, Are..."

"You..." Wingz chimes in.

"READY?" The Autobot and the Maximal players shout together.

“Pick your doors!” Wingz finishes with a flourish, pointing out towards where Bun-Bun is waiting...

Oh Primus.

It's like Let's Make A Deal but you know there's a Zonk behind every door.

All right you rogues, I'll play your game.

First choice is door number 2.

Second choice is door number 3.

Do I find out what I've "won" today or do I have to wait another week ? :lol:

"Time to look behind door No.2 Monty and play 'end of the line, my valentine'."

“And he’s picked doors two and three, what fate does he suffer, Turbo?” Wingz asked with a grin.

“Well, Wingz, we’ll open door two first...” With a grin of his own, Turbo walked to the middle door and gripped the handle firmly, opening it with a strong yank to reveal a giant card reading...

‘The Little Old Lady From Pasadena’

“Yes!” Turbo exclaimed, “This comedic character combines inspiration from 60’s surf rock and 90’s cartoons in one humorous package... that she’ll probably slip into her handbag and beat people over the head with.”

Wingz nodded, “Sounds slapstick, Turbo. And behind door number three?

Walking over to the last door in the row, Turbo yanked it open to reveal a card announcing...

‘Avoid At All Costs’

“This theme build presents a unique challenge as it has no offensive capabilities whatsoever. Focused entirely on Avoiding fights, Bun-Bun should expect to see plenty of this character’s alt mode and fifty point XP gains during its two week term. Door one, of course, will remain unopened unless he chooses to enact the penalty clause. To recieve the exact details for Bios, stats and such, he just needs to send you a PM, Wingz. Let’s give him a hand!”

“Golf clap?”

“Golf clap,” Turbo agreed, the two of then clapped their hands crosswise rapidly. “Until next event, I’m Turbo Magnus...”

“And I’m Wingz, saying...”

“’Good Fight, Good Night’?” Turbo asked.

“No, Turbo,” Wingz sighed, “MTV would sue us. Face it, Celebrity Deathmatch isn’t coming back on the air, no matter how much you miss it. No, we’re saying, Have fun and we’ll see you in the missions!”

Sun Jun 17, 2018 12:16 pm

LOL

Alrighty then,

Little Old Lady will be first, as soon as I get the info I'll reformat.

You did. Some of us agreed with your ideal, though maybe not to the same extent.
