It had been more than a month since a battle with the elite Wrecker Gearchange in the arid deserts of Carbombya. In the end, both parties had fled, Gearchange, due to injuries, and Scorponok, after the explosives meant to erase the evidence of mutant beings worsened it's injuries, forcing it to retreat into the sands.
Now, thousands of miles north, in the transcontinental city of Istanbul, bedlam was unleashed.
Screams, muffled by dust and shattering glass, echoed through the streets. Horns honked, and metal shrieked as cars were overturned and crawled across. Scorponok swung it's head from left to right, then chittered and unleashed a trio of rockets at the building directly ahead of it, blasting away brick and mortal and steel support in a flurry of blue fire and sooty black smoke.
The turbines in its back roared, and it's stinger'd tail danced overhead, metallic weaponry shifting and clicking with the movement. Handgun fire pinged harmlessly off one red, metal eye, and Scorponok jerked it's processing unit towards the source, clicking and hissing at the terrified human policeman who stood some ten meters away.
A rocket reduced him to charred pulp.
