International Scientific Symposium
- The International Scientific Symposium is an event from the cartoon portion of the 2001 Robots in Disguise continuity family
The International Scientific Symposium is an effort to gather the top scientific minds of the planet Earth in one place, to share their knowledge and research in order to improve mankind's lot. For some reason this also involves marching bands, cheering crowds, and lots and lots of confetti. Humans are weird.
Fiction
2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon
The first International Scientific Symposium was held in New York City. Media was out in full force, with Dorie Dutton giving a blow-by-blow report. As the first speaker, Doctor Onishi of Japan, began his speech, the proceedings were disrupted by the appearance of Megatron. The Predacon leader announced that he'd come to kidnap Doctor Onishi, and used his Sonic Pain Wave attack to render the humans present unconscious. Battle Protocol!
Notes
- It seems unlikely that the humans resumed their symposium following the Predacon defeat, as the surrounding area was thoroughly wrecked. Whether they ever held another one is a matter for conjuncture.
- In the original Car Robots version of the episode, this event is a celebration of the new millennium.
