Synopsis
The Zapbots have enjoyed peace in the galaxy for about a year now. As the High Council of Gearatron has agreed to allow the Zapbots to start exploring outside the galaxy, Botimus Prime picks Anthony up from his vacation sledding with his friends.
While enjoy time in his quarters, Anthony receives a warning from the Matrix. The Zapbots increase their speed to the edge of the galaxy as they receive a distress call from the Starship Macintosh. When the Zapbots approach the sector Fortress Misslemax is attacked by a new starship destroying their shields. After retaliation the Junkicons now called Nonocons reveal themselves as a passing alien race accidently rebuilt their bodies. Messy now goes by Amphotron, with his second in command now called Skyscreamer (formerly Showoff.) Through quick thinking the Zapbots disable the Nonocon ship with their array of new weapons and head away from the battle scene to repair their damage.

Quotes
"I think this new upgrade to Misslemax was done by a bunch of humans! Half the doors won’t open, the warp drive is off line, and guess who’s job it is to fix it?"
- Pliers submitting his personal log.
Notes
Production notes
- Holy crap we have a plethora of Zapbots in this story. Never realized it till now.
- In the original writing of this story, Matt E. still existed and the story was based around him. In 1997 when I rewrote it, I changed it to my 'straight friend' Mike B. aka 'Mikey'. Rereading it in 2020 it didn't quite have the same impact unless there was a romantic involvement with the character so it was adapted to include Mike Quartz.
- This is the first appearance of Vision, Slipstream, and the Protectors Copter, Burn Rubber, Phiston and Double Shot.
- Third pass to provide extra details and upgrades happened in 2021.
Continuity notes
Real-life references
Continuity and plotting errors
Other trivia
- This story borrows heavily from Star Trek V as this was one of my favorite movies at the time.
