In the year 2003, earth was invaded by a vehicle from a galaxy thousands of lightyears away. This vehicle had the appearance of a giant spider. People called it "Megaspider". Because it was completely mechanical, and maneuvered by pre-programmed humanoids, conventional weaponry was defenseless against it. Scientists, engineers and military men of all the world's nations united to devolp Megabug Gladiators for defense and counterattack. The first devolped was a fighter spaceship; the Dragonfly Megabug. Dragonfly Megabug could drop a bomb. In addition, a winch in its mouth could pick up Megaspider and capture it. A mammoth Scorpion Megabug was also perfected. The powerful Scorpion Megabug had a stinger tail with a mace for battle with Megaspider. It was designed with powerful pincers for attacking the invaders. Togther , the two Megabug Gladiators fight a never-ending battle against the Megaspider.

See, the fatal flaw in the alien bug's attack plan was one of scale. You didn't know about the invasion of 2003 because as soon as they landed somebody stepped on them. [img]wink.gif[/img]
