*CYBERHUMAN smiles*

Has no teleport facilities I'm afraid. We'll have to wait until they're right between us. Also they don't operate by batteries. They're an advanced race Mala, not man-made figures wrapped in plastic boxes from the local toyshop!

They still need some kind of power buffer - It needn't be a small metallic cylinder, but they're going to have batteries.

*waits*

*Battle is imminent*

*takes safety off*

I am babelfish, but my secret, new-developed power includes the babelfishdragon, which is an amphibious, crocodile-like being that can hardly fly and shoots pure energy.
Sounds like Giant Battle Monsters...

Yes it does.

Do its many talents include quietly lying in wait for the enemy?

No, but I can give a try at least...

you and your boys take the leftmost position and wait until we'Re negaged, then charge in from the flank, ok?

righto im here.

(engaged, sorry)

Welcome to the effort, ben! Have you brought your ?

indeed i have!

*CYBERHUMAN orders Team 1 to strike first, with Mala's Team 2 attacking second once the confusion has begun to sink in among the robots*

OK, and Edddie's are third.

Ben, we'll need you on duty, they can't detect it. Any kind off illogical distractions are great - bring on your wildest hallucinations!

The stranger the better!

*conjours dancing baked beans*

Good! that ought to confuse them when they come in! Cy, how far off are they?

*CYBERHUMAN runs a quick visual scan of the area immediately ahead of the main entrance*

Still another ten minutes walk away I'm afraid.

They're quite slow!

*runs an eye over the assembled fighters*


Yes, this will do quite nicely.


*mounts her giant blue fly*

Thanks for that, Tav!

*CYBERHUMAN looks around for some form of transport so that he can lead his troops into battle like a proper military general, but finds no suitable method of transport*
