BINALTECH STORY: CHAPTER 13

"The Darkest Hour"

Thanks to Prowl and Overdrive's raiding strategy, Battle Ravage, the ringleader behind the changes in history, was finally captured. However, he indicated a monitor in his concealed base and proudly informed them, "I would love to congratulate you, but I fear this has all been for nothing. Observe!" Displayed there on the monitor were images of an enormous, mobile planetoid approaching Cybertron. "That is Unicron, devourer of worlds, bringer of chaos to the universe!"

 

And so the nightmarish battle began. The Autobot defense fleet was annihilated instantly, and their satellite bases too fell prey to the monster. At the same time, an infinite army of robot soldiers who appeared to be Unicron's underlings advanced on them, and many warriors sacrificed themselves to protect command headquarters. "Excellent..." murmured Ravage.

 

"Only Prime must not be allowed to die. The Matrix your leader possesses is the only thing that can defeat Unicron."

 

Grasping Battle Ravage's entire plan, Supreme Commander Optimus Prime took Ultra Magnus with him and piloted a shuttle toward Unicron. "Our future may be hopeless, but we will still fulfill those duties we have to do. Send orders to Skids on Earth to initiate Operation 'Distant Thunder'!" Operation Distant Thunder was a final means of opposing the enemy's distortions of space-time. It involved sending Wheeljack's memory data to a point in time preceding the changes in history, informing their past selves of the danger. The procedure would utilize the time warp generated by altering the energy balance of a unique region on Earth known as "Dinobot Island." Skids had spent many years studying how to control this warp, although his research was still incomplete. He was hesitant about interfering in the time stream, but he persuaded himself, "This is only returning the flow that was meant to be." If circumstances allowed, Project Bodyshop would likely cancel out many of the tragedies in "real history." Skids set up the energy switch on the island's coast and set about creating the warp, but just then, his sensors detected a Decepticon platoon rapidly approaching! Would his strategy succeed in time?

 

AUTHOR'S NOTES (6-17-06):

BT-16 is the final chapter of the Binaltech Story released to date. The original plan was to conclude the battle in the chapter for BT-17 Ginrai and then finish up the "Time-Themed Story Arc" series in the chapter for BT-18 Hot Rod. (This would not have been sold under the Binaltech brand. I had an offer to write up his bio card and story, but it was canceled before any actual work began.)

sounds cool and it seems that BT has come to an end :( and with out the story finishing

i just thought it interesting that takara had played with the idea of a alt hot rod

You can bet hot rod would have been the Ford GT.  I makes too much sense.

So... change of plans = cancelled line? Oooookay then. *makes note for future reference*

Wow, thats facinating. Espetially the Q & A after the translation. Hot Rod would've worked pretty well with the Ford GT mold. 

 

Too bad BT was cancelled, I wish they could've finished the story.
