Strategies for Defeating Heroes Discussed
Chairman Drek
How did this happen? Someone explain it to me! You! You're supposed to understand how they think! How did you not see this coming? And Victor! Do you know how many candidates you beat out for your position? I could have hired the Zeezils Brothers! It's enough to make me want to vaporize someone! We're putting our project on hold. I'm ordering all remaining warbots to the Deplanetizer until the heat dies down.
[points to Dr. Nefarious; grunts; Zed enters; Zed leaves immediately; slams his head down on his desk]
Dr. Nefarious
Before we make any rash decisions, I wonder if you'd permit me to troubleshoot this for you.
Drek
Go on.
[sighs]
Nefarious
Our question is simple. How do you destroy a team of heroes?
Victor von Ion
Whoa! Whoa! Well, lots of ways, really. Chains? Knives? Guns? An enormous rock? Rock!
[Dr. Nefarious stares at Victor in disbelief while Drek lifts his head up, revealing a post-it note with a cat drawn on it stuck to his forehead]
Nefarious
The answer is "from within"! If we continue to fight them with muscle, we'll lose every time. But if we turn one of their own against them... of course, we'd need a weak link. A sad simpleton who'd believe whatever we tell him. A corruptible... ...Moron, but who? Who? Who?
[removes the note from Drek's forehead; shows a picture of Captain Qwark; Drek stares, not understanding what Nefarious is getting at]
Drek
Hmm... Ah! I'm getting an idea, boys!
[Nefarious snaps his fingers and points to the picture, finally getting through to the Blarg; laughs evilly]
Nefarious
You're a genius, sir.
Drek
I know, I know!

Advanced Combat Armor Features Explained
Qwark
Your protosuit is the most advanced combat armor on the market, and it comes in all the latest fall colors!
Ratchet
Sweet!
Qwark
A neural sensor in your helmet reads your thoughts and telequips the desired weapon into your hands. Try equipping your Combuster! There you go!
[after a few seconds, Ratchet equips the gun]
Computer
Combuster equipped.
Ratchet
Wicked.
Qwark
The Combuster is the backbone of the Rangers arsenal, allowing you to hit targets in a short-to-medium range.
Cora
This is embarrassing.
[Ratchet misfires a few times]
Qwark

Ratchet
Whoa!
[misfires once more, flying all around the training area]
Brax
See? He’s got it…sort of.
Qwark
This little baby’s the Negotiator. Fires multiple long-range, high-impact rockets. Great versus heavy armor. Buzz Blades! The Warmonger. I dunno, the Spiral of Death? Fusion Grenade? Wow.
[Ratchet knocks himself off the platform with two Negotiator missiles; several Buzz Blades fly around the room while one chases Ratchet around, yelling in protest; Ratchet fires a few rockets, but they turn around and fly toward him; Ratchet fires the Spiral of Death twice, only to accidentally slice the platform in half, making him fall; Ratchet throws the grenade, but it doesn’t explode on impact and it bounces back toward him, smacking him onto the glass the Rangers were watching from]
Brax
Dude.
Ratchet
How am I doing?
[slides off the glass]
Plumber
Wait, Huh? Are you still here? All the logos and doohickies already went by. That means it’s over. Go long, No extra little scene at the end of the movie, (sighs, then leaves) If I find out who started that nonsense, So I can plant my boot far up- (Stops, and returns to yell at the viewers to go home.) I Said BEAT IT! Sheesh.
