Jungle near Mt. NyiragongoMotormaster wrote:”Stunticons! Into the mines! We have work to do!”
Drag Strip almost jumped out of his frame at the sudden bellow of Motormaster. He simply shrugged it off like it was nothing before giving his commander a respectful salute. “You got it, boss!” The yellow racer replied as he then tugged on
Breakdown’s arm. “Come on. Let’s go before we’re made a permanent part of this jungle.”
Drag Strip then headed for the mine entrance which the vehicon miners had recently dug down deep into the earth. However, before Drag could enter or even get that close, he heard a loud snort and then an angry,
“We’re here to work, scraps!” Turning towards the sound, the former race champion saw the form of
Tantrum raging directly at him and the other Stunticons. “Awe, scrap! Look out! Rogue Predacon coming our way!” Drag Strip shouted the warning so that the other
Stunticons would hear him. The yellow mech tried to dodge, but unfortunately for him, the charging mechanical bull caught Drag on the right side and sent him spinning around and ultimately into the dirt.
Drag Strip lifted his cranial unit up and spit out a clump of grass before getting back to his feet and checking to see what damage was done to his chassis. Thankfully, Drag’s new, more bulkier Rally Fighter alt mode gave him a bit more protection from attacks. Thus, there was little damage beyond a deep dent on his right side. It was nothing to be concerned about.
The yellow Stunticon then looked over to see who else might have fallen victim to Tantrum’s little tantrum.

After Motormaster had moved away to yell at the other Stunticons, Razorclaw returned his attention to
Scrapper and the question he had just asked. “You do remember correctly, my friend. We did retrieve the cyberforming tech from Shockwave’s tower on Cybertron and it has been brought back here to the Sol System. As far as I know, it’s under lock and key in a very secured facility on the
Thanatos. It may even be in Shockwave’s Lab by now. Either way, it would ultimately be up to Megatron to decide when and where we will use the tech. I’m not even sure if it’s ready for use, yet. Shockwave would need to determine that.”
Suddenly, there was a shouting coming from the group of Stunticons who had been moving towards the mine. However, this time it was not due to Motormaster’s wrath. No. It was due to a bored and enraged Tantrum charging in his bull mode directly through the group of Stunticons.
“
TANTRUM! Control yourself!” Razorclaw turned and shouted at his unhappy subordinate. “You will reframe from attacking the Stunticons or any other Decepticon for that matter. Motormaster will keep his team in line as he sees fit, not you! Now stand down immediately!”
