TARMAC ARRIVES IN TACOMA - PART FIVE: "Tiki Tiki Hiya!" - PAGE ONE

JUNE 2004

Last time on Tarmac the Travelling Transformer - Tarmac and Chode-Bot visited sunny California and snuck into BotCon where all sorts of mischief ensued. Now, back in Washington State, they venture to another Transformers fan gathering, CybCon...


"Crammed into a box, what a way to travel. I'm gonna have words with Phil when we finally get home." - Tarmac

"I dunno, it could be worse. We could be at the bottom of the box with Shockblast." - Chode-Bot

"Logic dictates you will remove your sword from my gearbox, Autobot." - Shockblast

"Stuff it, One-Eye!" - Tarmac


"Tally ho! I shall smite thee, Shockblast!" - Cliffjumper

"Logic dictates only idiots with small ball-bearings speak in such a manner." - Shockblast

"Quick! To the Mystery Machine! Wait... I'm the Mystery Machine! Hahahaha!" - Tow-Line

"*sigh* Why must great 'bots always be surrounded by lesser beings?" - Tarmac

"I ask myself the same question." - Chode-Bot

"..." - Tarmac


"Well, CybCon was fun, even if all we did was stand around while people stared at us." - Tarmac

"So, where to next?" - Chode-Bot

"Leavenworth, home of European cuisine and real beer!" - Tarmac


"C-Bot, stay here and watch our stuff. We can't take them where we're headed and I don't want to lose my power sword." - Tarmac

"You got it, sir!" - C-Bot


"All right, you bitches, while the Big T and my main 'bot are away, I'll be in charge. So, you just better check yourselves before you wreck yourselves." - C-Bot


*CHIK!* *CHA-CHINK!* *WHRRL!*

"Sarcasm not appreciated." - Omega Supreme

"Verily I think not, little robot." - Cliffjumper

"Logic dictates that such a statement should be viewed as a challenge of authority. Prepare to meet whatever maker you claim to have." - Shockblast

"Gulp.." - C-Bot


"$3 a gallon? What? Is it laced with Electrum?" - Chode-Bot

"I dunno. But, I'm glad we filled up before we left. Besides, I don't much trust a gas pump held together in spots with duct tape." - Tarmac

"Word." - Chode-Bot


"Where's the damn beer, you wannabe Euro-trash???" - Tarmac


"Yet another road trip. This time, we get carted around in a bag. Wonderful." - Tarmac

"At least we have Bumblebee to keep us company." - Chode-Bot

"Hey, Tarmac! My ass is stuck in a crevasse!" - Bumblebee

"Heh. That never gets old." - Tarmac


"Hmmm, so this is Salem, Oregon, eh?" - Tarmac

"Let's see what we can find. Maybe there's some beer here." - Chode-Bot

"I like the way you think." - Tarmac


"Oh... my..." - Chode-Bot

"Now this is a television! Let's go find some beer and maybe some chips and turn on the game." - Tarmac


"Excuse me, would you happen to know where we could find some beer?" - Chode-Bot

"Dude, that's a guinea pig. It's not gonna know..." - Tarmac

"Third shelf up in the 'fridge by the front door." - Gus

"You were saying?" - Chode-Bot

"Well, I have been wrong on one or two occasions." - Tarmac


"Well, there wasn't any beer in that 'fridge." - Chode-Bot

"That's what you get for asking a guinea pig, ya idjit. Hey, cat, there any beer in this pad?" - Tarmac

"Know of such things, I do not. The turtle over there you should ask." - Storm

"Thanks... I think." - Tarmac


"Hey, turtle, where's the beer in this place?" - Tarmac

"I keep telling you kids, I ain't never made it without biting! Leave me the hell alone!" - Timothy

"Dude! I see another 'fridge! That's probably the one Gus mentioned!" - Chode-Bot

"All right, let's go." - Tarmac


"Oh... slag..." - Chode-Bot

"You the guys lookin' fer beer?" - Krazy Khaos

"Uh... Yeah." - Tarmac

"Cool! The people here won't let me have any and I don't have opposable thumbs, so go ahead, but you have to share." - Krazy Khaos

"Fine with me." - Tarmac


They soon return to Washington State...

"I knew we shouldn't trust the car we ride in. Look at the gas tank!" - Tarmac

"Well, I'll be." - Chode-Bot


"Where are we going now?" - Chode-Bot

"Seattle, I think. Some place called Uwajimiya, whatever that is." - Tarmac


"Are we there yet?" - Chode-Bot

"No." - Tarmac

"Are we there yet?" - Chode-Bot

"No." - Tarmac

"Are we there yet?" - Chode-Bot

"No." - Tarmac

"Are we there yet?" - Chode-Bot

"No." - Tarmac


"Are we there yet?" - Chode-Bot

"No." - Tarmac

"Are we there yet?" - Chode-Bot

"No." - Tarmac

"Are we there yet?" - Chode-Bot

"No." - Tarmac

"Are we there yet?" - Chode-Bot

"No." - Tarmac


"Well, this looks nice. C'mon, let's go inside." - Tarmac


"Eat our innards and gain mystical powers." - Bird Jars

"I don't wanna. Tarmac, I'm scared." - Chode-Bot

"You big wuss, what's the worse they can do?" - Tarmac

"Eat our innards or we eat you." - Bird Jars

"Uh, time to go. See ya! Let's get outta here, Chode." - Tarmac


"This 'Hello Kitty' clock is adorable." - Chode-Bot

"Yeah." - Tarmac

"What?" - Chode-Bot

"Nothing, let's just move along, shall we?" - Tarmac


"Look what we brought back from Uwajimiya, C-Bot." - Chode-Bot

"Looks tasty, sir. What is it?" - C-Bot

"Why, it's Cock brand frozen young coconut juice." - Chode-Bot

"Ain't nuthin' tastier than young, frozen Cock." - Tarmac

"BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA!" - Chode-Bot & C-Bot

"I don't get paid enough for this crap." - Tarmac


"Pike's Market." - Chode-Bot

"You'll never find more retched hive of scum and villainy." - Tarmac

"We must be cautious." - Chode-Bot

"You'll be dead!" - Tarmac

"This little one's not worth the effort. Come, let me get you something." - Chode-Bot

"More Cock juice!" - Tarmac


"Whew! Almost got stepped on a few times there." - Tarmac

"Seems we were made to suffer..." - Chode-Bot

"Enough with the 'Star Wars' quotes, dude." - Tarmac

"Sorry." - Chode-Bot


"Bitch took my quarter!" - Tarmac

"The sign did say 'Out of Order,' Tarmac." - Chode-Bot

"DAMMIT!" - Tarmac


"What's it say?" - Chode-Bot

"Damned if I can tell, my eyes are plastic." - Tarmac


"Mmmmmm, gold bikini..." - Chode-Bot

"She's two-dimensional, dude." - Tarmac

"So?" - Chode-Bot

"Good point." - Tarmac

"Mmmmmm, gold bikini..." - Tarmac & Chode-Bot


"What're 'Bondage Fairies?'" - Chode-Bot

"I'll tell you when you're older." - Tarmac


"They want how much for 'Transformers' #1 by Dreamwave???" - Tarmac

"Damn! That's some expensive toilet paper." - Chode-Bot

"You ain't just whistlin' 'Dixie.'" - Tarmac


"I'll take the Wonder Woman with the armor, you can have this one." - Tarmac

"Good, 'cause I'll take anything at this point." - Chode-Bot

TARMAC ARRIVES IN TACOMA - PART FIVE: "Tiki Tiki Hiya!" - PAGE TWO


"The stuff here sure is pricey. $10 or so a figure seems awful high for this stuff." - Chode-Bot

"Humans will pay anything for this crap, dude. It's just their nature." - Tarmac


"Finally! Now we're getting somewhere." - Chode-Bot

"There just better be some free samples in there is all I'm sayin'." - Tarmac


"What now?" - Chode-Bot "You grab the saw. I'll take the hatchet. While you're sawing the boat over there, I'll grab the gold." - Tarmac

The plan didn't work, unfortunately. Neither could lift either tool.

"DAMMIT!" - Tarmac


"I just don't get all these road trips. Why are we out here?" - Chode-Bot

"The humans mentioned something about an anniversary. All I know is we're far from what I'd call 'civilization.'" - Tarmac


"Think we'll see any bears?" - Chode-Bot

"If we do, I hope they can sniff us out some beer." - Tarmac


"Well, guys, we've been here long enough and probably overstayed our welcome." - Tarmac

"We should probably let the 'High Council' know we're leaving." - Chode-Bot

"I guess so. I was hopin' we could avoid seeing those freaks again." - Tarmac

"Uh, Tarmac. They're just around the corner." - Chode-Bot

"Slag." - Tarmac


"Greetings again, Tarmac. I trust you're enjoying your stay with us." - Cheetor

"What the? What happened here?" - Tarmac

"Meep!" - Izz

"There was some structural reorganization during your last trip." - Apelinq

"I see. Well, we were gonna head on our way. We've lots of other stops to make and we're a little bit behind schedule." - Tarmac

"Very well. I hope you enjoyed your time here. Please feel free to return. You're always welcome." - Cheetor

"Thanks." - Tarmac


"Meep!" - Izz

"You said a mouthful there. Farewell, Travelling Transformer!" - Cheetor

"Bye!" - Pit Droid


"Sorry 'bout the way I treated you guys before. I was havin' a bad day." - Raiden

"Eh, forget about it." - Tarmac

"Sssssso long, Transssssssformer." - Cobra Commander

"Come back soon." - Mercury

"We will, baby." - Chode-Bot

"Please, I was talking to the little one next to you." - Mercury

"Score one for the C-Bot!" - C-Bot

"Awww." - Chode-Bot


"I've concocted this beer-enhanced Energon for your journey. Use it sparingly as it's potent stuff." - Apelinq

"Thanks, big guy." - Tarmac

"Before you go, can you make me some toast?" - Maxx

"Umm..." - Tarmac

"Ignore him, Tarmac. Maxx is always trying to get people to make him toast." - Duke

"And Pez!" - Maxx

"Yes, Maxx, we know you like Pez too." - Sizzle

"Heh, see ya!" - Tarmac


"Tiki Tiki, have a good trip, Tarmac." - Statue

"Thanks. Keep on doing... whatever it is you do." - Tarmac

"Tiki Tiki." - Statue

"Uh, yeah. See ya." - Tarmac


"Hey Tarmac, i don't think these things were here when we arrived. Look at 'em all. They're so small." - Chode-Bot

"Do not touch me, freak." - Emperor

"Don't worry about him. As long as you're behind him, he cant' zap ya." - Rebel Soldier

"Quiet, you!" - Emperor


"C is for Chewbacca." - C-Bot

"Rrawr grrar grr grrar rraawrr grr!" - Chewbacca

"What fun!" - C-Bot


"I've never seen so many walking beer kegs in my life." - Tarmac

"Why is it al the babes come out as we're leaving?" - Chode-Bot

"We were repulsed by your stench." - Aayla Secura

"BWAHAHAHAHHAHA!" - Tarmac

"You don't smell much better." - Leia

"At least I'm not the one hanging out on a shelf with a lizard-man and a dead clone on the floor back there." - Tarmac


"You sure there isn't anything I can do to convince you to stay?" - Tifa

"Well..." - Tarmac

"Touch her and you will regret it!" - Predator

"Oookay. Guess not." - Tarmac

"Snowboarding looks fun." - Chode-Bot

"Mama!" - C-Bot

"Don't even thin about it." - Elise


"Now, you sure you wanna come with us?" - Chode-Bot

"Yeah! Where ever Chode-Bot goes, C-Bot goes!" - C-Bot

"All righty then, let's get packing." - Tarmac


"Here we go again." - Chode-Bot

"Say, this beer-infused Energon isn't half bad." - Tarmac

"Yeah? Let me have some." - Chode-Bot

"Here ya go... Hey! Don't drink it all at once, ya idjit!" - Tarmac

"BRRRRRRRPPPP!" - Chode-Bot
"*sigh*" - Tarmac
