User blog:Bzero/Autobots to Back US Against Cobra

FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts - Cobra has threatened the US, and the Autobots are ready to help America to stop them.

“Given that we are based on North America this threatens us as well as the rest of the continent," said Autobot Commander Optimus Prime. "Lives are at stake," he continued.

Prime said the Autobots would do “As much as we are able,” but drew the line at firing upon human targets. “If there is the possibility of that, we will not engage," he claimed.

The Autobots have already clashed with Cobra over their threat to blanket the US under a “pyramid of darkness.” According to Prime, when the Cobra air carrier crossed the US last week, leaving a trail of downed US Air Force jets in its wake, Autobot ally Spike Witwicky intervened with an Autobot transport shuttle.

"He attempted to assist the Joes in forcing it down, disabling it," Prime said, referring to the secretive anti-terror US strike force G.I. Joe. “Unfortunately the Cobra weapons disabled this vessel and Spike made a landing here,” Prime said, indicating to the cranberry field in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, where the shuttle crashed. “Thank Primus it was away from anything populated.” Primus is the god which many Autobots worship.

“One of Cobra's air carriers was threatening the East Coast,” Prime explained. “Spike was in this shuttle in the area when the Joes attempted to intercept. Given the grave threat, I permitted him to assist.”

With the ongoing danger America faces from Cobra, Autobot assistance may be required again in the near future if Cobra attempts to follow through on its threats against the US.
