Underground base / Research Lab of Bun-Bun & his crew
“Tell me what you’ve heard, Tracer.”
Normally the prospect of standing in front of a large group and speaking would have been enough to send the reclusive Con screaming for the solitude of space, but in this case the news she carried was too important to be delivered any other way. Reminding herself of the loyalty she owed to the being in front of her she stepped forward and began her report.
“I have intercepted a lot of chatter indicating that many of the teams that remain active are coordinating to target us or, more specifically, you, Bun-Bun.”
Sitting his raised dais Bun-Bun let out a small chuckle but continued looking stern “Most of the Bots left don’t even know how to fight and their so-called “coordination” is laughable. That can’t be what you called this meeting for so just spit it out.”
Taking a second to accept the reality of what she was about to say she sighed and replied.
“The chatter wasn’t from the Bots. It was from other Cons.”
The absolute quiet that followed would have been calming to her at any other time but right now Tracer only felt crushing tension and a desire to hear her leader say anything to make their anxiety go away. Instead the pregnant silence was broken by the large mech to his right.
“Why would any of the other Con factions want to come after us?”
Turning to face Disillusioned and composing herself she dutifully continued her report.
“The transmissions cite multiple reasons: Our last defeat in the contest against Wingz, lack of forward progress in any of our recent experiments that we’ve solicited funds for, continued and strengthening ties to Maximal groups and the strategic information passed to them, and most importantly…”
She turned to face Bun-Bun directly.
“The Freak Show.”
Utterance of that name set the small yellow Con to her right into a rage.
“I knew it! You had to keep thumbing your nose at them and practically daring them to retaliate thinking you were safe within the RDD. If I had been in charge…”
“Shut up, Dark Claw!” Disillusioned interrupted taking a threatening step forward. “What about the RDD? Surely they can’t be conspiring against us as well.”
“No.” Tracer continued “None of the RDD aligned groups have yet signed on.”
“‘Yet signed on’?” the group’s medic, Necropsy, asked “That implies they’ve been approached. If that’s true then why haven’t they told us?”
“It doesn’t matter.” Bun-Bun said quickly, finally breaking his silence “The RDD has been good to us and has bailed me out many times. I wouldn’t ask them to fight this fight for us though. Not when we can possibly fix it ourselves.”
Waiting for everyone settle back into their spots he continued.
“There’s nothing we can do to speed up our experiments especially with most of our associates on ‘hiatus’ but maybe we can do something about building our image back up. We’re going to War with Wingz again. If we can beat them it will show her last victory was just a fluke and by attacking the Autobot & Maximal groups that will undoubtedly come to her aid we can show where our loyalties lie. As far as the Freak Show, if there’s one thing that might make that miserable antique Gore happy other than Earth porn it’s giving his crew some Bots to shot at. If the Freak Show is satisfied and our star is on the rise again the other Con factions will stand down.”
“And if your grand plan fails, what then mighty leader?”
“If it fails, Dark Claw, well then we do what we always do. Find a way to survive.”

Here's how it's gonna work this time around:
As usual you sign up in this thread and update your first post with your kills of viable targets (in this case anyone else that's signed up)
The twist this time is that there will essentially be 3 teams:
- The Bots supporting Wingz
- The Cons supporting Bun-Bun
- The Cons opposing Bun-Bun
(*disclaimer - despite my little fiction above there is no guarantee of Freak Show support or even participation. Frankly I'll be lucky not to be sued just for using the names without permission*)
So Cons, when you sign up you have to decide if you’re Team “Bun Is Great!” or Team “Bun Can Kiss My Boron Compressor.”
(Names subject to change)
If the Cons opposing me get more kills, well, then the Cons still win but there shall be no glory for the Wabbit and his future shall be dim indeed.
If either of the other two teams win then we shall have our tie-breaking victory in our Trilogy of 1 Week(end, sometimes) Wars!
(Bots can target Cons from either team obviously)
The War will start Monday September 24th at 7:30 AM EST (approximately) and the starting mission number will be added to this post and the thread subject line
