a crack Decepticon special forces team was sent to prison for a crime they most assuredly committed. These bots promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade into the Cybertron underground. Today, still wanted by the Autobots, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, you will almost certainly make the situation even worse if you hire... the Combaticons.--G. I know I've done this joke before, but somehow it fails to get old, particularly when I'm trying to revive my inner TFs. The Combaticons map even better to the A-Team archetypes than the Dinobots, anyway. Particularly Brawl, who ain't gettin' on no Blast-Off, and Howlin' Mad Vortex. -><- Benjamin D.

*tries to imagine Brawl turning into The Van, with the B.A accent, and my brain melts from the image* Yes, I can see how that doesn't get old.

Brawl: We're flying this time, aren't we? Onslaught: Yes, we are. Brawl: You're not going to drug me this time. I'm going to keep my eye on you. Onslaught: In that case, do you want the last swallow of your energon? *Brawl realizes he's been had, raises his fist and then collapses* Onslaught: Guess not.

I fully believe that that's how Bruticus came to be: the Combaticons were on a job, they got captured and their opponents locked them in a machine shop, the theme music played over a montage of fiddling and welding, and then Bruticus came crashing through the rolling metal door and trashed the joint. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Y'know, its amazing (or would be if it weren't fiction) how many idiots lock the A-Team or MacGyver in a machine shop, tool room, or other place that anyone with a little technical skill, and some creativity, would find massively advantageous.Locking the A-Team and MacGyver in one would have been even worse. “They planned their campaigns just as you might make a splendid piece of harness. It looks very well; and answers very well; until it gets broken; and then you are done for. Now I made my campaigns of ropes. If anything went wrong, I tied a knot; and went on.” -- Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington

But from what I remember of the A-Team, someone was constantly out-witted by the A-Team - specifically, the guy sent to catch them. So... I have to ask a potentially inconvenient question: Which Autobot (or Autobots) are Decker, Lynch, and the other hapless guys trying to CATCH the Combaticons?*ducks*

I'm thinking Ultra Magnus. Ever since he was passed up for promotion....
