Something just occurred to me a few minutes ago, and I figure it's best if I spread the word. I've already posted this over at Kenya's blog, but I figure it's best if I add it here too. (This is the edited/expanded version anyway. More information.)

Remember how Palpatine was planning on creating a Transformer body for himself back when we were fighting Unicron last fall? Well, what if this "Babylon Palace" in Montreal that we're heading for is actually that completed Transformer body? From the looks of things, we're probably dealing with something about the size of Metroplex, Trypticon or their Headmaster sucessors Fortress Maximus and Scorponok. In short, a body that's about the same size as the self-proclaimed Emperor's ego.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm not taking any chances. Two of our more recent recruits, Maligore and Dark Specter (cousins of our 21st Gung-Ho Gun Kumasogami) can grow to giant size, allowing them to at least match a body that big in sheer brute force. Fighting fire with fire, so to speak. But just in case, we probably need a few more super-sized heroes/reformed villains to take him on. I've sent a couple of our guys to find and recruit at least one, but who knows if it'll work. He gets a bit tempermental at times. Then again, considering we're talking about a being who's been turned loose against Earth several times against his will, I can't say I blame him.

I can't say exactly who, in case we aren't successful in bringing him in, but if we are... well, Palpatine will be hard-pressed to match all of our forces.

Prepare yourselves. In one week, we're going into an all-out war against at least three of our four greatest enemies. This isn't going to be easy. But we're going to do it anyway, because it's the right thing to do. Because we're fighting for the freedom of all sentient beings in the universe. And we're fighting for our right to survive. In one week, we take on Palpatine, Voldemort and Naraku... may the Force, Primus and any dieties out there be with us all. 'Cause we're gonna need all the help we can get.

Until next time,
