Andromeda and Rook report on events concerning some of the most notorious CEOs on Cybertron
Synopsis
[edit]Andromeda welcomes the viewers, and tells them they have a special story about Ego and Bulletbike, two of the richest TransTech corporate heads. The story is handed over to Rook, who covers the public image of the two now former CEOs, images that are now tarnished by information from the rambling of an unbalanced "offworlder". Lies and deceit, cut corners, and broken laws have all been uncovered...and so has a plush lizard, who interrupts Rook to say "hi" multiple times.
