*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|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|Mike Quartz]].

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.

After repairing Misslemax the Zapbots receive a distress call from a Federation ship. As Misslemax is still without warp, Anthony takes Botimus and the Buildabots out to find the ship. They run into a newer version of the Eaton robot and through battle the Buildabots combine to form Almighty to destroy it. With the Zapbots succeeding they realize it was a diversion to lure them away from Misslemax and quickly return to find the ship under attack. The Zapbots make it aboard but during the battle Boaty and Flier are severally wounded.
