Cassiopeia get her thunder stolen.

Synopsis

On ABN, Cassiopeia stands outside Elite Guard headquarters. The newsbot reports that the Elite Guard has had another successful mission, and with this victory, has had 20 missions without a casualty. However, rival newsbot Slamdance begins to move his crew in, despite Cassiopeia's objections. Slamdance tells her that no one watches her channel anyway, and that he's here to report on the missing Combaticons, questioning if she even knows that they had gone missing. Cassiopeia quickly tells her viewers to come back at 1100 for more details on Slamdance's claims, while he laughs in the background.
