Announcer: You are listening to 1010, WKEV FM.  Up next, Where are They Now? with host, Corby Tender.

Corby: Welcome to Where are They Now? I am your host, Corby Tender, and joining me in the studio are a few members of the Gobots: there’s Jet-Guy and (to the other Gobot) you sort of look like a motorcycle, so I will call you Cycle Guy. Welcome to the show fellas.
Jet-Guy: Thank you, I guess. I will have you know that my name is Guardian 1…
Cycle Guy: …and my name is Cy-Kill! Do you get the play on words? I am a cycle, and I…
Corby: Yeah, I think we get it. So, let’s just address the obvious — you guys are not Transformers, right?
Jet-Guy: (laughs to self and glances nervously at Cy-Kill) Uh…no. We are not. You wouldn’t believe how often we…
Cycle Guy: What my bumbling enemy is trying to say is that…
Corby: (cutting him off) Do you know how much you guys stunk the place up in the 80′s? Do you? Can you even comprehend your impact on many a young boy on his birthday or Christmas?
Jet-Guy: I don’t understand.
Corby: You guys were the knock-offs. The replacements. The stand-in toys for Transformers. When moms and dads around the country couldn’t afford Transformers, they grabbed you and disappointed kids everywhere.
Cycle-Guy: You can hardly blame us for…
Corby: Quiet Cycle-Guy! Just shut your face!
(Cycle-Guy and Jet-Guy exchange anxious glances)
Corby: (beginning to get emotional) Do you know how badly I wanted Optimus Prime? Do YOU? Do you know how many times I rode home on the bus and watched as my friends played with their Transformers: Optimus Prime, Megatron…even the Dinobots? I think I touched Optimus Prime one time. ONCE! And it was on the bus when my buddy Chris asked if I would pass Prime to the kid behind me who had a gym bag full of Transformers. That kid probably had a bag of Capri Suns and Fruit Roll Ups too. (hangs his head and cries)
Cycle Guy: Sounds like someone needs a taste of energy blasts from my fist! (raises arm which quickly begins to shake) Who am I kidding? I am no Megatron. I wanted to be. (whispering to himself) So badly I wanted to be like him. (begins to weep)
Jet-Guy: (trying to play it cool) Come on, fellas! Why do our interviews always end the same way? We get railed by some guy with adolescent scars and then Cy-Kill caves under the weight of it all. That’s it. I am not gonna sit around and take this. C’mon, Cy-Kill!  Let’s transform, and roll out!
(Corby looks at Jet-Guy)
Jet-Guy: (mortified) Oh my gosh.  Did I just say that out loud? (Jet-Guy quickly changes into an F-15 fighter jet and blasts his way out of the studio leaving Corby and Cycle-Guy in a pool of tears and oil)
Corby: (looks up in a hysterical rage and shakes his fist at Jet-Guy who has just broken the sound barrier above the studio)
Your cartoon sucked Jet-Guy!
