Armor up!

During a raid on Celestia, Maxx Zero is horrified to find that Battlestar has destroyed hundreds of Zetonians and reforged them into his city Guardians.
While practicing Force Sync* with Vanguard, Maxx discovers a strange quirk in this reprocessed Zetonian matter - the dense Zetonian metal emblazoned with the logo of the long-forgotten STAR TEAM which each Guardian carries on his back calls to him. Maxx touches one of the Guardians, and it falls to pieces. The metal containing the symbol attaches to Maxx's chest, shifting pieces of his form to match the color of the metal.

With this newfound armor, Maxx truly is the invincible warrior of legend - but there is a catch. The armor of the Star Team, working through whatever had been infused into the original metal, burns out in seventy seconds. Using this new knowledge, Maxx gains another advantage in his quest to take Zeton back from Nazgar and Hun-Dred.


*Force Sync is a state of higher robotic consciousness achievable by Maxx Zero with any other member of the Robo Force, on a one-to-one basis, that allows him to tap into their higher functions from a remote distance. It's not easy to do and is rarely achieved.

  1. I love these story drops. You've taken it from having almost no back story aside from the typical good vs. evil story line of the 80s to having a cool and very defined story with lots of elements from the other lines that had nothing to do with them added in. I also dig the darker, sinister elements as well. The long forgotten STAR TEAM was a nice touch. If I didn't have some of them, I would have forgotten them too. Keep up the good work!

  2. John. Great stories and I too enjoy the richness of the robo universe your creating. Perhaps some bio and file cards that can be down loaded and print by club fans or general public? I enjoy collect bio and package backers from some of the 80s line and some mini bios for the robo force and Mordles would be icing. Any thoughts?
