A brief toy campaign that started on Sunday and finished last night...

The Lost Light was damaged and had to set down on a hostile world full of monsters to repair itself, but Cyclonus (BiS/Universe) and Rodimus (BiS/Classics) went on a mission to obtain some random MacGuffin from the planet (naturally located in a nest of monsters - all visualised by my imagination ) to repair the ship. Rodimus went back to return the MacGuffin, while Cyclonus and Nightstick held off the Nightmare Monsters to buy Rodimus time. During this time Nightstick was killed and Cyclonus was mortally wounded. He was later rescued by others from the Lost Light and Ratchet (Henkei) repaired him, but Cyclonus swore vengeance. Ratchet gets all preachy and protests against this to Rodimus -- Rodimus tells Ratchet that he'll have words with Cyclonus. Rodimus tells Cyclonus that he's not going to authorise or condone any course of action for vengeance, but tells Cyclonus that he's gotta do what he's gotta do. Cyclonus then accesses the ship's armoury and helps himself to a sword (TFPRiD Dreadwing's sword) a nuclear warhead (stick of lip balm ) and crapload of missiles (imagination ), as well as a bio-signature detector (TFPRiD Dreadwing's gun). Cyclonus then flies back to where all the monsters are and unleashes his nuclear payload. He quickly flies out to avoid being sucked in by the vacuum, then later returns and begins bombing and napalming the surface to eradicate survivors. He then finds a deep cavern where a lot of surviving creatures are holed up. Cyclonus transforms into robot mode, pulls out the sword and proceeds to waltz in there picking off the sick and injured survivors (though Cyclonus does sustain injury to his left forearm and torso). He then flies above the clouds that have been constantly pouring corrosive acid rain and deploys the bio signature detector which links him a live feed of where any other surviving monsters are. Cyclonus uses this data to begin hunting down other isolated surviving creatures.

In the meantime Rodimus checks up on Ratchet about the progress of repairs, and Ratchet tells him that everything will be ready in about half a Breem, but also tells him that he's noticed that weapons have been pilfered from the armoury and fears that Cyclonus has gone to do something rash. Rodimus realises that the subtle advice he gave Cyclonus wasn't such a good idea, so he transforms to car mode and races off to find Cyclonus. In the mean time, Cyclonus is having a jolly time killing more monsters, including a giant gelatinous spider who Cyclonus sticks his sword through, but the spider keeps running and Cyclonus has lost the sword... so naturally he continues using his bare fists to continue pummelling more monsters. Rodimus arrives and sees the spider dying with the sword between its eyes. Rodimus pulls the sword out as the spider dissolves, only to see a giant wolf-like creature with Cyclonus being dragged under its neck. Cyclonus finally manages to wrestle the wolf monster to the ground and snap its neck before confronting Rodimus. Rodimus tells Cyclonus that it's up to him if he wants to continue his vendetta, but he's not going to let him continue using resources from the Lost Light to do it. He tells Cyclonus that once the ship is flight worthy, they're going to leave this world with or without him. Cyclonus surrenders the bio-detector's controller which Rodimus uses to deactivate and retrieve the detector, which he then takes back to the Lost Light. Cyclonus reasons that remaining on the planet with no weapons and limited Energon would be counter productive to honouring his oath to avenge Nightstick, and swears to Nightstick that one day he'll return to complete his promise of reeee-venge!

...the end, and then I finally packed away all my toys.
