Fiction

Challenge of the GoBots cartoon

The Renegades identified NORAD's satellite system as the best way of disseminating the controlling rays of Doctor Braxis' pulsar generator and set in a course for Cheyenne Mountain, where their headquarters was located, after taking Anya Turgenova's sorium from Stolbovoy Island. To gain access to the facility Cy-Kill called up Geeper-Creeper via Astrobeam; posing as a US Army jeep he transported Braxis to Cheyenne Mountain, where the scientist's NASA credentials were enough to gain access on the pretence of maintaining the base's satellite links. The base's commander General Lindley was less than pleased about Braxis' presence and was given further cause for alarm when the rogue astronaut Matt Hunter phoned him to warn him of Braxis' plans; however, by then the scientist and Geeper-Creeper had taken care of most of the base's security forces while letting Cy-Kill and Cop-Tur in. By the time the Guardians arrived the generator was nearly ready; Cy-Kill let Matt and Anya Turgenova inside to avoid showing his hand too early. He then activated the device, bringing every human in the world under his command. He then used the Guardians' own allies and the NORAD troops to drive the Guardians away, capturing Leader-1 when he stayed to provide cover. Conquest of Earth Cy-Kill then used Cheyenne Mountain as the nerve centre of his hunt for the remaining Guardians Turbo and Scooter, all while he taunted the immobilised Leader-1 and oversaw the mass construction of Zods. Earthbound After Leader-1 managed to escape being scrapped by Zod, the Guardians and their human allies stormed Cheyenne Mountain, thanks to Scooter hacking the base's security computers and using a holographic disguise. Braxis eventually rumbled the scheme but by then the heroes were inside, ultimately freeing the humans from Cy-Kill's control. He retreated and set the sorium powering the generator to explode but Cheyenne Mountain and the rest of Earth was saved when Leader-1 used the Astrobeam to sent it into the midst of the GoBotron-bound Zod armada. As the base's personnel returned to consciousness the Guardians and their new friends slipped away. The Final Conflict

Notes

• The animators actually seem to have looked at pictures of the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, though the large wooden sign with "NORAD HEADQUARTERS" might be an embellishment.
