Ode to a Grasshopper

Inspired by kuzzy showing us how to use our imagination to play with our TFs (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=134716&postcount=52), I figured why not do a chain story and see what collective imaginative magic we could come up with?
A few guidelines (I'm not a fan of rules) for the thread:
1. Every entry must flow from the previous entry. This is a chain story. Try and keep the "He woke up and it was all a dream" option for when we've written ourselves into a hole and need a cheap exit strategy. First come first served if 2 posts follow on from the same earlier one.
2. Don't hijack/dominate the story - this isn't a serious epic here, the point is to keep it flowing and get as many Ozformers input as possible. Try to keep entries short, open-ended so the story can continue, and light on plot. If Michael Bay can do it so can we.
3. The funnier the better.
4. No continuity restrictions. We already have G1(?) Omega Supreme, BW Inferno, and RotF Jetfire and it's only 2 entries in. Same characters from different continuities are fine, just be clear about which version you're using. Characters from other toylines are OK too, especially those that have had TF crossovers (fiction or toys) before, but keep the story TF focussed.
5. Try to take advantage of the existing mythos/trivia where possible (i.e. let's not have BW Silverbolt and Cybertron Thunderblast suddenly be an item without some sort of breakup/love triangle with Blackarachnia), where different accounts conflict (Eg. Japanese Headmasters series vs. Rebirth trilogy) either just go with whichever one you like or better yet poke fun at it.
6. Sound effects optional but preferred. Explain them when they're not clear.
7. If you have all the toys for a scene and want post pics for it go ahead but for Griff's sake try to keep it easy on the bandwith. Amateur MSPaint style preferred for laser blasts and other special effects.
8. Rumble is the blue one, Frenzy is the red one.:p
Now onto the story!
kuzzy -inferno {beastwars} was walking down the street when he heard omega supreme fly overhead [whoosh], transforming mid air the giant robot when [robot voice]" STOP PREDACON I MUST DESTROY YOU" so he started chasing him, [boom boom boom] when he came across a weird alien of some sorts ["ytwquiryoiuqwrywjdkaysdjfhlsdkfjhsdkhfskdlhf"] but omega supreme tripped, fell on the alien then exploded [boom[kinda louder]squish then KABLAMOOoooooo!!!!!]
Odie - Suddenly RotF Jetfire appeared [deranged coughing noise], transformed [chrk chrk chrk CHRK CHRK], and [pffft!] farted out his parachute...
