{{quote|Dear [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)|Cy-Kill]], Do you believe in magic?

Cy-Kill: There was a time that I would have called you a fool for asking me a question such as that, but I have seen many strange things in my years: a blind child who can see the future, a staff that can disable even a [[Zod (GoBots)|Zod]], a human who can levitate and deflect energy blasts thanks to statues of his ancestors. Why, just a few months before I found myself transported away from Level 1, [[Leader-1 (GoBots)|Leader-1]]'s Command Center shot down my Thruster on the planet Arcanus IX. As [[Cop-Tur (GoBots)|Cop-Tur]] and [[Vamp (GoBots)|Vamp]] attempted to repair the damage, I sent [[Crasher (GoBots)|Crasher]] out on a scouting mission to ensure that there would be no unpleasant surprises until we were ready to launch into space again.

While on patrol, she discovered two magicians terrorizing a local village with magic spells. They were turning peasants into animals, plants, and statues; teleporting them to the top of trees and flagpoles; levitating them so they were stuck in mid-air; even blasting them to the ground with concussive force. They called themselves [[Mumbo]] and [[Jumbo]], and Crasher, being an excellent officer, immediately recognized the potential for an alliance. She summoned me, and I convinced the two sorcerers that they were wasting their considerable talents here on Arcanus IX, spinning yarns of the vast wealth of [[GoBotron]]. Their magic fixed my Thruster in an eyeblink, and we set off to show those Guardians what-for!

It was glorious! The Guardians didn't know what hit them. Soon I had conjured a medieval-style castle in the heart of GoBotolis, with Leader-1 bewitched into thinking himself my court jester, and [[Turbo (GoBots)|Turbo]] and [[Small Foot]] transmuted into a horse and a cow and looked after in a barn by [[Nick Burns (GoBots)|Nick]], the stableboy.

Unfortunately, [[Scooter (GoBots)|Scooter]] had tracked the our trajectory back to Arcanus IX. He, [[A.J. Foster|A.J.]], and [[Spay-C]] made their way there and recruited two of the local wizards, the brother and sister team of [[Hocus]] and [[Pocus]]. They returned, battling my allies to a standstill, allowing Leader-1 and his flunkies to break the spells. Realizing a lost cause, I abandoned my allies--who, truth be told, were starting to get on my nerves with their sing-song way of finishing each other's sentences--to their fates. Mumbo and Jumbo were no match for Hocus and Pocus, backed up by the entire Guardian institution. Spay-C flew them back to Arcanus IX in iron chains, no doubt lecturing them the whole time.

[[Mathew Robert Ignash]]: Is that truly magic though, or just science we don't understand? Still, do you have a picture of Jester-1? That must be a sight to see!

Cy-Kill: Believe you me, the annoying do gooder had never looked better.

[[Christopher Colgin]]: What did Nick look like as a stable boy?

Cy-Kill: A significant improvement over his usual anemic fashion choices.
