User blog:Bzero/Mixmaster : Mysterious Goo

Mixmaster appears in the Decepticon City metallurgy lab, surrounded by vats of steaming chemicals. With a manic gleam in his silver optics, he records the following:

“Mixmaster here! The minions of Scourge and Starscream seem to have gotten themselves into an interesting mess that I hope they will confine to their own kind.

“They’ve encountered an odd substance that appears to absorb into the armor and infect one with various effects depending on the level of contagion.

“Plunder’s dead – no, wait. Plunder’s insane; it’s Windshear that’s dead. Whichever. Starscream is annoying, but that is a pre-existing condition unrelated to this problem.

“The goo seems to be some sort of self-replicating nanovirus that uses an infectee’s own fuel sources against him. Even though Windshear is dead it seems to be still absorbing his power and changing him – into what, I’m not sure.

“I’m curious to see what it will do when Windshear’s body runs out of power and the goo needs more. I…” Mixmaster suddenly glances downward. Looking back up, he comments, “Strange… I seem to have gotten some of that goo on my foot, and it’s absorbed into my armor. Curious. I’ll have to monitor how it effects me.”

Mixmaster gazes back into the camera. “Mixmaster out!” The screen goes dark.
