by these three; it's up to me!"

be too far from here..."

annihilate the three perfidious
ones: ARAGON, ZETAR et CROMAR.

transforms!!!

three loyal lackeys have just been
destroyed by Diaclone's Attack-Cars.
Cosmocar : "COSMOCAR to DIACLONE... The raid was successful. The
analysis of the last received
information will give us the ability to better localize the enemy's hideout." |
| |
Caption : But Multiforce 14 intercepts the message.
Cosmocar immediately becomes his priority target.
Tanks and vehicles leave Multiforce's fortress to stop him.
Cosmocar : "Cosmocar to Diaclona Headquarters... Do you read me?
Multiforce
14's tanks are attacking me... SOS... SOS..."
Someone at the H.Q.: "I read you loud and clear!!! Diatrain is leaving
the base at once..." |
| |
Caption : On the terrain battlefield, Cosmocar's
situation becomes more and more critical...
Diatrain : "DIATRAIN to COSMOCAR. Hang on, I'm taking care of these
guys!" |

Diatrain : "That will be done in a few seconds..."
Cosmocar : "Phew!! Thanks, old pal!!" |
| Chapter
VI: FIRE IN SPACE |
 |
Caption 1 : DIACLONE's
forces are droning to and fro across the region in which Multiforce 14
and his
troops are supposed to hide. Then, F-15 notices a massive outline.
F-15 : "It may be worth a detour..."
F-15 : "That's the cursed fortress!!"
Caption 2 : Through F-15's cockpit, CAMERA-ROBOT immediately takes
precious photos. But all this
little game can't escape the enemy's radars and soon the Red Alert is sounding... |
 |
F-15 : "They're following
me!!"
Caption : Surrounded on all sides, F-15 tries to get out of his fearsome
pursuers' sustained fire, by all the
power of his jet engines... |
 |
A Multiforce Plane : "Got him!! He's gonna crash!!"
Caption : Through a skillful pull-up, F-15 avoids disaster.
Camera Robot : "Go hide in those caves. We'll cover you!"
F-15 : "I still have enough energy and resources to astonish those
bastards..." |
 |
Camera Robots Leader : "Let's go guys!!"
One of the Camera Robots : "What do you think of it, huh?"
Caption : CAMERA-ROBOT has splitted into three powerful and over-armed
warriors. They fiercely
fight to cover F-15's retreat.
Red Camera Warrior : "They're taking flight!"
Another Camera Warrior : "Still, we'd better stay under cover and
ask the H.Q. for some help. F-15's
got one hell of a wound." |
| Chapter
VII : SAVAGE ROADS |
 |
Caption 1 : In Diaclona, Cosmocar receives Camera-Robot's
alarmist report after the tremendous aerial
combat.
Camera-Robot (through Cosmocar's radio) : "F-15 wounded... asking
for assistance... Here is our
position..."
Caption 2 : An ambulance is immediately dispatched...
Ambulance : "Through the Savage Road I'll make it faster."
Ambulance : "Brr! What a scary place..." |
 |
Trans-Am : "Hurrah!!"
Trans-Am : "Okay, let's get out of here!" |
 |
Cosmocar : "What, those pillagers again?!!!!"
Cosmocar : "Now you'll never bother us again..."
Cosmocar : "Quick! I hope it ain't too late!.." |
 |
Caption 1 : Thanks to his efficient multi-functions
equipment, Ambulance gets out of the swamp all by himself.
Caption 2 : Cosmocar and Ambulance quickly rejoin Camera-Robot and
F-15.
Camera Robot Leader : "Now that Ambulance is nursing F-15, let me
tell you about our little
discovery, without no more delay."
Caption 3 : Inside Cosmocar, Camera-Robot projects the photos revealing
the position of the redoutable
Enemy fortress.
(Camera-Robot seems also to be a Slide-Projector-Robot!!)
Caption 4 : Thanks to this priceless information, a definite attack
plan is recorded on a special tape to be
communicated to everyone without any further delay. |
| Chapter
VIII : THE TRAITOR |
 |
Caption 1 : The conflict between Diaclone's and Multiforce
14's forces is entering its final stage. A general
Attack plan was recorded on a tape which will be transmitted to all of
Diaclone's fighters.
Caption 2 : There's a traitor in the ranks of DIACLONE's army: ROBOT-COLT
is in fact a spy from
Multiforce 14's troops. He managed to enter Cosmocar's Controls room. Without
anybody
knowing, he heard each detail of the secret operation, and as night comes,
he seizes the precious
tape.
Robot-Colt : "Multiforce 14 will appreciate this service..." |
 |
Caption : Nevertheless, aboard Cosmocar, the Diaclona
warriors quickly become aware of the
disappearance of the tape. Robot-Colt's absence makes his guilt obvious.
Immediately, Turbo
2000 goes in pursuit of the traitor...
Robot-Colt : "Damn! Someone's chasing after me..."
Robot-Colt : "Quick, let's get this in a safe place, while I get
rid of this pain in the neck!"
Robot-Colt : "A living tape!!"
Turbo 2000 : "Phew! CONDOR managed to sneak away from him!" |
 |
Robot-Colt : "HaHaHa!! Condor may have escaped
from me, but this one won't bother me no more."
Condor : "Die, you traitor scum!!!" |
 |
Caption : The footbridge on which Robot-Colt was
standing is pulverized, thus making him fall to an
unavoidable death.
Condor : "'got no time to waste! Gotta rejoin Diaclone..."
Toyota : "Here comes Condor with new information." |
| Chapter
IX: HOSTILE SHADOWS |

|
Caption 1 : MULTIFORCE 14's hideout has been located.
All the vehicles converge on it, after the
example of DIACLONE, following TOYOTA.
Caption 2 : But Diaclone is too heavy, gets stuck in the sand, and
is quickly immobilized.
Diaclone : "Only DIATRAIN can save me... SOS... SOS..."
Diatrain : "I'm reading you loud and clear..." |
| |
Caption 1 : Soon, menacing shadows appear and worry
DIACLONE.
Caption 2 : In order to slow down their coming, a DUNE-BUGGY is catapulted.
Dune-Buggy : "Let's play Skittles!" |
| |
Toyota : "It's time to operate... my structural
changing."
Caption : TOYOTA too pitches into the fight, but the enemy still approaches
dangerously.
(Note: The third image is the same as on the "Toyota" toy box)
Toyota : "If DIATRAIN doesn't arrive soon, I won't be able to hold
them back a long time..." |
| |
Diatrain : "Looks like I'm needed there..."
Toyota : "We managed to intimidate them. They're beating the retreat.
But... for how long?"
Caption : DIATRAIN soon digs DIACLONE out of the sand.
Toyota : "Here they are again, more numerous than ever." |

|
Caption : Diaclone and his friends prepare to fight
against terrible creatures Multiforce 14 sent to stop them.
Diaclone or Toyota : "Well, these two won't come any closer!" |
| |
Caption 1 : Cut at the waist, the WALDALOS turns
his lower part into an hideous monster...
Caption 2 : ...who creeps stealthily up to Toyota.
Toyota : "Ahhh, curse you, monster!"
Toyota : "Here! Have some insecticide, you rotten cockroach!" |
| |
Caption 1 : Merciless, Diaclone then annihilates
MICRORIDER.
Caption 2 : Multiforce 14 finally appears, at the head of his flight.
(Seems like Multiforce 14 and his flight are not one and the same,
finally. Kinda strange... Maybe there's
several Multiforces?)
Multiforce 14 : "Dispose of them all!!" |
| |
Diaclone : "Cheer up, guys! Victory is ours!"
Caption : In a tremendous state of chaos, all DIACLONA forces suddenly
appeared to definitely bring down
the enemy.
Diaclone : "Good-bye, Multiforce!!!"
Diaclone : "My friends, keep on living in peace. The big city remains
untouched. The big city will
forever be free..."
