Hydro Girl

Hydro Girl

• (screams)
• Help me! Hack those security orbs and get me out of here!
• Hey, Team Darkstar! Over here!
• Ratchet, help!
• Can anyone hear me? Get me out of here!
• Thanks kitty, I owe you one.
• I thought you'd be taller.
• Thanks, Ratchet. I knew you'd come through.

Shellshock

Shellshock

• They said I was too crazy to fight. I'll show them crazy!
• You're going to need a closed casket lombax!
• I love the smell of burning fur in the morning! It wakes me right up!
• Are you going AWOL, soldier?
• Internal damage detected. Initiating homicidal rampage!

Gleeman Vox

Gleeman Vox

• Come back and die like a hero!
• After I kill you I'll be selling Gleeman vox action figures!
• Hurry up and die! We're live!
• Ow! Nothing we can't tape over in post.
• Ow! I made you a star lombax! You're nothing without me!
• Just when you hoped his career was finally over, get ready for an encore performance from Ace Hardlight!
• Prepare to be eviscerated one more time.
• And to think they call this guy a one-hit wonder.
• I think we should re-up your contract. Here talk to my lawyers.
• Let's cut to commercial.
• I better take a breather. Destroying you is making me sweat.
• Come over here when you're ready to die!
• How about a DreadZone retrospective.
• And now a trip through the past.
• Ah gotta love it when it's live!
• With all the running and jumping don't you ever get tired?!
• Good work Team Darkstar! I'm impressed! Underdog beats DreadZone's finest exterminators! Ratchet survives the gauntlet and rescues his best friend from certain death! You couldn't ask for better Holovision. Show business! But enough about me let's get down to business. You're still under contract and I need an ending! Sit tight while I make a few revisions to the most exciting climax the galaxy's ever seen! (laughs)

Ace Hardlight

Ace Hardlight

• Hey lombax, let's see how you like being a farm animal!
• This should be much more fitting for you.
• If a lombax can't see, he can't fight! How about a little flashbang?
• I'll leave you in their capable hands! Follow me if you can.
• Stupid gun! Work, work already!
• Oh looks like I accidentally called for some reinforcements, oops!
• Hey lombax, do you feel lucky?
• And now for my finishing move!
• Ah now I'm really mad!
• Having trouble seeing? (chuckles)
• Hey! What happened to my shield?

Reactor

Reactor

• Come on! That's all you got?
• Hero? Hah! Hero my tin butt!
• When I'm done with you, you gonna look like roadkill!
• Booyah!
• Dodge this!
• After this you're gonna feel dead tired!
• Ah! That ain't funny!
• Oh, I'm gonna need to sit for a sec.
• Okay, play time's over, rat boy! Time to die!
• Oh, damn! Now you got on my bad side.

• Use your d-pad to activate the bot command menu. When you give a command the best bot for the job will automatically respond.
• You can command your bots to deliver an EMP attack. The EMP emits a blast of energy that stuns enemies tEMPorarily
• You can also give orders to your bots using the bot reticle. Just activate the reticle, select an interactive object, then release the button to give the order!
• Well that's all the time we get for training! You know what they say- the show must go on! Good luck Ratchet. Try to bring the suit back in one piece.
• Try using the suits glide capability to get across that gap.
• Wow that jumps a real doozy! Looks like you're gonna need to double jump and glide to get across!
• Try ordering a bot to extend that bridge.
• Ordering a bot to man a turret is a good way to boost your team's firepower.
• Your bots can disable that electrified floor with an EMP attack.
• Ever hear the term cannon fodder? Well that's what your bots are! If those tin cans give you any backtalk just order them to get out there and draw fire
• Hello? Hello? Did we disconnect? Oh, Vox will kill me if he finds out I rewired the interstation communicator!
• Well what I'd really like to do is-
• Ratchet when you're not busy you might want to think about helping out your combat bots. They're taking damage that I'm gonna have to fix later!
• Have I got news for you. Thanks to some very loose lipped DreadZone EMPloyees I found a way out of the city! There's a secret escape vessel inside the Ace Hardlight statue.
• Oh yeah one problem- the statue is made of raritanium. That means you'll have to blow it up.
• Detonate those explosives at the base of the statue and be careful.
• You'll have to manually recalibrate all the lightning collectors at the top of the towers!
• You can manually reactivate all the control points on the shield generator too didn't think you could did you you know it's all very simple
• Way to go team Darkstar!
• This is an allied bot a versatile combat droid programmed to follow your orders. On the battlefield these guys are your best friends. I can teach you how to command your bots but you need to decide where and when to use them.
• All right, let's get you familiar with the basic features of that suit.
• There's no need to get your butt shot off when you can send a bot instead, right? Try ordering your bot to draw that turret's fire.
• You can generate a special shield around one of your bots. The shield protects that bot from taking damage.
• Sometimes you'll need to order a bot to push one button while you push another. I don't know where they get this stuff.
• Ratchet, your bots are hardly combat efficient. Come by the shop and let me do a little upgrading.
• Well I've seen it twenty-five times and I still don't get it with all the numbers and the kicking and the guys in suits.

Al (communicator): Ratchet your combat bots are taking damage! Don't come crying to me if they get blown into scrap metal!

Clank (communicator): Oh there we go I managed to cut off his communication he was blathering on and you need to concentrate.

Merc: Okay, we got no shields and no way of getting them back up. Any ideas?

Clank (communicator): Hmm.. let me check my data. There may be a way to manually restart the control logic.

Al (communicator): Of course there is (chuckles) your first step is really very simple. Recalibrate all the lightning collectors at the top of the towers! You want the next step... yes? No? It's okay I'll wait.

Clank (communicator): Ratchet according to my data-....

Al (communicator): Tell him he has to activate the power stations

Clank (communicator): Al, I thought I told you to stay off this line.

Al (communicator): Hey! I'm the one who got you the schematics for the Valix Lighthouse Network. Fine, I'm hanging up now.

• I'm halfway done, sir!

• Security orbs activated, sir

• Returning to protect the captain.
• Regrouping now, sir
• Me in the turret, huh? Sir yes sir
• Sir, I haven't trained in the turret. I guess now's as good a time as honey
• Sir, I'll find a turret ASAP. My targeting matrix won't let you down
• (screams) This one's for you QA-900!
• Sir, enemies from the front. Take cover!
• Nailed him, sir!
• Got him sir! Hey Qwark Cadets, how about that marksmanship merit badge I never got?!
• You see that shot?! What do you think of that, Merc?
• I just blew that boogie sky high! I've never seen anything like that.
• Yeah, headshot!
• Sir, did you see that?! I nailed him with my wrench and his head went flying!
• Whoa! Look at that sucker fry!
• Sir, we better find cover and fast!
• Sir, is this.. is this all of them?
• Sir this should be easy.. but don't let your guard down.
• Oh boy! Uh, sir, maybe we should review our attack plan. I think these guys mean business!
• Sir, I'm not sure I can handle another battle like that
• Oh jeez, sir. We're being ambushed from behind!
• Sir you might want to turn around
• Enemies from the rear!
• Enemies behind us!
• Sir, they're flanking from the right!
• Bad guys spotted! Watch the right flank!
• Bogey on the right! I mean the other right!
• Protect the left flank!
• Left side's hot, sir!
• Sir, I'm taking fire I need backup!
• Sir my damage assessment is not looking good! Permission to retreat!
• Sir, requesting medic!
• I-I'm not gonna make it! Tell QA-900 I love her.
• I see the farm! Oh there's Minnie the sheep! There's the plowbot and the automated irrigation system.. I'm coming home pa!

• Sir, my ocular sensors have spotted a grind cable.

Merc and Green

Green: Oh! Sorry sir

Merc: Yo Green what's the matter?!

Green: It's just that giant dead robot I think it moved!

Green: Sir, those spotlights can be turned to face the cathedral! Well maybe that has something to do with the cathedral's defenses. Heh, see Merc, I'm smart

Merc: Sure you are kid. Just move aside when the action starts.

Green: Sir, it's way too quiet. I don't like this one bit.

Merc: Quit worrying you're giving yourself a complex.

Merc: This is the best bike I've built yet!

Green: Oh yeah, if you want to crash into a wall.

Green: Sir, we'll take care of the control points, but we'll need the Hovership to take us there.

Merc: What Green is trying to say is put on your chauffeur's hat.

Green: Bust me out of here, sir! I'm a soldier not a convict!

Merc: Hold on to your pantyhose! We're working on it.

Green: No rush, sir. I'll just catch up on my reading.

Merc: I did some time in the joint.

Green: For what? Destruction of property, reckless endangerment... murder?

Merc: Parking tickets.

Green: Uh, Merc? I just want to say thanks for saving my robot butt all those times.

Merc: Aww, Green's getting sentimental! How cute. Save it for the letter home to your sweetheart!

Green: You know, underneath the gears and the sprockets, shaft collars and mounted bearings, even behind your timing pulley and your gearbox there's a CPU that cares. I know it's there. I've seen it when Al updates your tools program.

Merc: Listen Green just soldier on, okay? Don't worry about me.

Green: That's gonna be hard, Merc. You're my friend and you've been imprinted onto my memory core.

Merc: Hey kid, you have a name?

Green: Uh, no. I- I have a serial number.

Merc: You rookies are all alike! Name like Eddie or Shanti, Lizzy.. Green. I'm gonna call you Green! Like too Green to plug off the tree!

Green: What's your name?

Merc: Well you can just call me daddy! (laughs) Oh, sorry, mercenary humor. They just call me Merc.

Merc

Merc

• I wouldn't step in there if I were you.
• All this rubble would make great cover in a firefight
• Those statues give me the creep sir. Probably used for some ancient mumbo jumbo.
• I got three words for that turret EMP. Eat my pulse spectrometer baby!
• Should we deploy theEMP on that platform?
• Boss this ain't no time to check out the view! Take a picture and let's go!
• Don't look down!
• Let's get down there and fight. You ain't afraid of heights, are you boss?
• That's a long way down. You getting dizzy?
• We'll need the Swingshot to get across here
• Boss, you don't want to see my driving. You better take the wheel we'll take the guns
• If I wasn't incapable of being scared, I'd be pretty scared.
• Hey Green, that zombie looks like your mama!
• Keep your eyes peeled. I thought I just saw something move.
• You can swing like a tongue alley monkey for all I care! I'm flying across that gap!
• I'll hack it.
• It's too easy man. This has got to be some kind of trick.
• Sir, my scanner shows something up in that tower. Could be a control node.
• Aha! I knew it would work. The door is opening.
• There's got to be a control unit around here somewhere.
• We're outgunned boss. Let's fall back and regroup
• We got this sucker on the ropes. Let's finish him off.
• Bogey's at six o'clock!
• Hurry up! We're falling behind!
• This ain't no time to think about your mama! We got more baddies on the way.
• Now we can chitchat and compare beauty secrets later. I smell enemy reinforcements coming.
• Try and keep your eyes open. We've got two more waves coming
• Oh whee! The south power station is up and running
• Hey boss, will you getting that turret and cover us? I can't do all the work
• Miss that Swingshot and we'll be scraping you up with a pooper scooper!
• Ground sweet ground.
• Just a few more clicks boss.
• Anybody bring chocolate and marshmallows?
• It's.. it's beautiful!
• Smells like an ambush!
• Bogeys left side!
• Watch your right side!
• Watch your back!
• What a momo!
• I'm thinking we need some wheels boss. Maybe if we find the right parts we can build a Hoverbike.
• We're building a new wheelchair for your mama!
• That's it. I think we have enough parts boss. Let's build a Hoverbike.
• They're toying with us! Some of the force fields are already down, but not all of 'em.
• I'm tired of these games! They too sissy for a straight fight?
• These drones are fast, but we're faster.
• Aww, our first drone kill. I think I'm gonna cry.
• Boss, I think we've destroyed half the drones
• Boss, only a few more drones left
• All right, who here was worried? Come on fess up! (laughs) We kicked asteroids!

• Boss we can't hold him much longer. Hurry up with the explosives!
• First charge set.
• Second charge set.
• Third charge set.
• Last charge set. Fire in the hole!
• Once we take these shields down this planet's a sittin' duck.
• We're halfway there.
• Boss let's use the harpoon turret to get across to the next tower.
• Boss get into that Hovership and we'll reactivate the shield.
• First control point complete. Take us to the next one boss.
• Keep up the cover fire, boss.
• Two down! We're almost there! Keep those guns blazing.
• This is it one more to go!
• Stay on those guns boss or you can kiss your tushy goodbye!
• We need to take down the shock field.
• Just say the word boss I'll get us across that gap.
• Hey can we pick up the pace here? You drive like my mother!
• Pull yourself together or you're gonna be showering with them!
• Yeah I'll bet you would, tinker bell.
• Control node dead ahead.
• There's the second node.
• There's the last one!
• Smells like a trap, boss.
• Permission to hack these locks, boss?
• Here they come!
• I'm gonna need some covering fire.
• Nice shooting boss! We got four turrets left.
• Snafu, boss! We're taking fire!
• Oh she'll hold. Just worry about completing the mission
• Boss, if you want to stay alive we need to double time it.
• That timer is going to keep on ticking until we hack those orbs.
• Bad guy!
• A word of advice: don't drop the soap.
• Boss, we gotta capture the nodes before the jump pads will activate. You should know that!
• Hey boss, you need an EMP attack? Just ask us. The EMP is like sticking your finger in a light socket hooked up to a power station
• You just picked up an ammo pack. If you don't need it, then you're not shooting. If you're not shooting, then you're probably dead!
• You want bolts? Then capture nodes. You want upgrades? Then hold those nodes. Nothing's free, soldier.
• No one says you work for free. Each time you waste another player, you earn bolts. The badder the kills, the more bolts you get!
• The first team to reach one-hundred bolts wins the game!
• This ain't a chat room! Get out there and capture that flag. Return it to your base to earn a point.
• If you are killed holding the flag it will respawn at your home base.
• Double tap R2 to use your charge boots.
• Hey slowpoke! Use your charge boots to go faster!
• How bad you want that node? Crank the control bolt with your wrench until the node turns to your team color.
• You got to stay alive within the capture zone to count down the timer.
• Kill or get killed. You want to waste the juggernaut? Work as a team and remember the juggernaut gets stronger with every kill. So hurry up!
• Be the first team to reach the kill limit and you win!
• To access your map press R3.
• You can use your map at any time. Oh you didn't think we'd make it too hard did you?
• You just got a mod pickup. These pickups will upgrade your weapons.
• If you can kill the juggernaut, you'll take over as the new juggernaut until you're killed. Enjoy it while it lasts!
• You just captured a node. Hold on to it to earn upgrades.
• Use the left analog stick to select your spawn point.
• Press R2 to swap to the passenger seat.
• You can swap into the passenger seat at any time.
• Hey Tarzan! Jump towards swing targets and latch on with the Swingshot.
• You've earned an upgrade. Press start to access the upgrade screen.
• Kill three enemies with your weapon to earn an upgrade.
• Upgrades are a permanent decision, so choose wisely.
• The hill is contested.
• Once I was in a firefight, my memory sensors got hit and went on the fritz. I started having war flashbacks! I saw the first battle I was ever in. I saw training, I saw shore leave, I saw shore leave again and again! I still got it recorded, you want to see it? Anyways wires get crossed and the Merc next to me has a flashback. Except he gets mine and I get his! I see his first battle, I see his training, I see his shore leave, all the horror! I can't even repeat what that fool was into! It didn't involve shores and it sure didn't involve leaves! I'll tell you that much. I got it recorded, you want to see it?
• One time I teamed up with a couple other Merc bots to take out a local crime boss. I rigged his office with two tons of explosive and blew him sky high! Then I found out his best friend called the wrong number. He wanted someone to take him out to dinner and a movie. Well he was disappointed.
• Boss, battle does strange things to a robot. It messes with your environmental intake sensors. The deepest parts of your memory core get stirred up like noodles and miso soup.
• I've seen a soldier chew off his own leg because he thought his toes were looking at him funny.
• I was doing a job on a Amoris III. I was hired to take out some dude's dirty laundry, literally. Got paid five-hundred bolts to take out some guy's laundry. Oh it was stinky.
• Boss I'm getting old. Battle's taking his toll on me. My joints are weak, my command line interface is buggy, I pull my armor up way too high and the oil I use in my servos gives me gas!
• You ever just sit down and eat a sandwich? For no dang reason?
• Uh, hey Green? Word of advice- keep your head down, your eyes peeled.. aw heck! You better just stay home!
• You ever wonder why the manatee's so fat? How can an animal that spends his entire life swimming up and down the shore be so fat?
• You point at it, I shoot it.
• Ready to kill.
• You got the money, I got the time!
• You sure, boss?
• Just hurry. I ain't staying out there all day.
• I'll distract them. Don't be mad if I take 'em all out.
• One nuclear explosion coming up!
• Heck yeah! I like using the big guns.
• If you need me I'll be in the turret making the bad guys cry!
• Your mama won't even recognize you when I'm done.
• You want them fried or sauteed?
• I'm gonna own your sorry robot can!
• More things to kill!
• Come to papa!
• Here they come.
• Watch your back!
• Watch your six!
• Hey! It's bad manners sneaking up behind someone.
• I thought I smelled an ambush.
• Look alive boss! We've got company ahead.
• I told you to watch out! I told you!
• Now that's what I call firepower!
• Solid hit.
• You paying attention to this, boss?
• Here's one piece, there's another! Man, he's all over the place!
• Nothing like the smell of plasma grenade vapor in the morning, eh boss?
• That's it! Keep your head in the game.
• Combat bot protocol: One shot, one target, zero resistance.
• Now let's see how you like the business end of my wrench, punk!
• Oh that looked painful.
• Boss, we better get our butts behind some cover!
• We're fighting these guys? Oh man, boss. Is DreadZone serious?
• Hey, the kiddie pools that way!
• Ha! Look at these guys. What a bunch of punks!
• This ain't gonna be easy, boss. You might want to get behind me.
• It looks like DreadZone's bringing out the big boys. You ain't scared, are you boss?
• That was it? Boss, wake me up when the real action comes.
• That was hard... For them!
• Watch our six. They're coming from behind.
• We're being flanked from the left, sir
• Hey, how about trying?!
• Aw, you don't want to make me mad do you?
• Are you trying to get my attention?
• Hey these guys ain't playing around! I'm getting beat up over here!
• I can see my life flashing before my eyes. Oh no, my memory playback system's busted.
• Know the head, boss. You want me to clear some bodies?
• Thanks uh I don't know how I went down. Must have been an accident
• Yeah well, uh, thanks. I'll try not to get hit again
• Almost.. almost.. got it! It's hacked.
• You might want to buckle up. I got a lead foot, literally!
• Bullet holes? I just got this baby detailed!
• This thing went from babe magnet to grandpa's junk heap!
• Next time look both ways!
• Boss you driving or talking on your communicator?
• Boss this ain't driving school, you can hit things!
• I thought I was crazy!
• Boss, remind me to never let you drive again.
• This again?
• That was a close one.
• I'm all set over here
• I need more time!
• Hey boss, when's the last time you modded your weapons? It's all about upgrades. Get with the times, man.
• Boss, check this out
• Follow me!
• I could use a hand!
• Fighting? I'll show you fighting as soon as you put my arms back on, I'm gonna tear you apart!
• Oh man! Just fix me up and get me out of this place.

• Ratchet this is your first trip into DreadZone territory. I will be right by your side monitoring your progress on my holo-screens.
• That turret looks nasty. I suggest using an EMP. That should short it out.
• Ratchet you will have to capture both nodes to extend the bridge.
• Ratchet you will have to use the jump pad on the opposite side to access the inner arena floor.
• Ratchet, my tech bot friend is streaming me data on your current mission. She told me I was cute today. (laughs)
• Be careful ahead, Ratchet. I am detecting something big and possibly ugly.
• Ratchet can you hear me? Hmm there seems to be some interference on this.
• Be careful, Ratchet. My data is incomplete. I cannot tell you what is inside.
• Shellshock again. Be careful. He looks angry
• Ratchet, according to a DreadZone techbot, you will have to capture both nodes to lower the force fields. I gave him an Agent Clank autograph and he was happy to talk.
• Only one node to go!
• Ratchet my screen shows a Hovership inside the hangar bay.
• Might I suggest capturing the nearest node to activate the jump pad?
• Ratchet? Ah, there you are. The com line was temporarily down. Al overloaded it apparently. He has been "making calls" again. So I see you've activated the jump pads. Good! Now, travel to the second level. There you will need to capture the six control nodes. Good luck, Ratchet.
• Ratchet, my tech droid friend has given me some valuable information. Inside the statue of Ace Hardlight there is a secret escape vessel.
• There is one problem. The statue is made of raritanium making it nearly impossible to destroy. You will need to find several high-powered explosives scattered throughout the city.
• Ratchet, detonate the explosives around the base of the Ace Hardlight statue and do be careful.

• Of course. It's never as easy as it sounds on DreadZone, Dallas
• Our contestant will have to clear the area of all enemies before he can land!
• Is that an invitation, Dallas?
• This shouldn't be a challenge.
• Let me guess, you bought a condo here too?
• You may not know this, Dallas but I spent eight years at a woman's prison on Dallon IV.
• You are so predictable.
• (heaves and gags) I think I'm going to throw up!
• Sure, Dallas. I'll bring my bikini and a live wire. It'll be fun.
• Hmm, maybe someone famous? Someone political?
• Security! Security!
• Looks like that was the last of them! I must say, I'm impressed!
• Psych! He's not even close to done. I'm just toying with his mind! (laughs)
• I quit!
• You should be taking notes, Dallas.
• He'd better save the last one for himself, Dallas these robots are programmed to inflict maximum pain!
• Activating jets. Die lombax, die!
• Will the moron with the microphone muzzle his stupid mouth?
• It's too much! I can't bear to watch! Only joking!
• Sure is, Dallas.
• Good thing he won these Charge Boots, Dallas. He's gonna need them.
• As you can see the lombax is a ruthless killing machine with no remorse and no conscience!
• Oh he's going to die! He's going to die! I love it!
• Oh, hell! He healed himself!
• (laughs) That's payback for what he did to Ace!
• Ooh! That had to hurt!
• Hmm... What does this button do?
• Ooh! Look at the size of that weapon!
• (yawns) This challenge is too easy. Let's spice it up!

• They're trapped folks! Can they survive the zombie onslaught?!
• Oh my god complex! Ratchet is running away! I knew that little sissy would-... oh, he's uh, he's getting ammo again. Okay.
• Oh look Ratchet's getting ammo.. again! How exciting. Can something kill him soon, please?

• Oh no! Guess who's imprisoned and left to die in an icy grave? It's hydro girl! Oh I bet you wish you returned my phone calls now!
• This can't be good. Looks like Ratchet's got company! Will he survive long enough to get in that turret?
• Folks, I don't know how you feel but that was amazing! Who would have thought he'd survive? Personally I wanted him to crash but congratulations anyway.
• Because it's in my contract to say congratulations, I will. And by the way, I wasn't officially betting, I was joking. So I own nothing!
• Well I lost that bet. Looks like the south power station is activated.
• Double or nothing the lombax eats it before he gets this station activated.
• Oh-hoho! This is getting interesting!
• In the destructor challenge Ratchet must destroy as many targets as possible using machine guns and mortar launchers! The smaller the target the more points it's worth!
• Get ready to work together, people! In this challenge one contestant takes the mortar launcher the other hits the machine guns! And what are you doing? Destroying as many targets as you can, stupid! Keep an eye on the timer and remember- the smaller the target, the more points it's worth!
• Welcome to the beautiful blarg homeworld of Orxon! One of our galaxy's natural treasures. Team Ratchet's first objective is to fight through this deadly maze disabling six force field generators!

• And now for a checkpoint race- with a twist! No vehicles! Ratchet will have to complete the entire course on foot.
• The lombax is really burning some calories up down there, Juanita! He should have his own sports drink!
• I'll tell you, Juanita! I am getting worn out just watching this stuff!
• The only way into this challenge is from the sky! Hey Ratchet, who packed your parachute? (laughs) No really it doesn't matter. He's in for certain death anyway.
• Looks like someone's digging in the trash. Now what could they be up to?
• Pretty resourceful. What can't these guys do?! Let's see how they progress!
• All-righty, on to stage two! Ratchet must locate and destroy the specified number of drones!
• Team Darkstar is making steady progress. This is a real wrecking crew!

• Time for some morning commute combat driving, folks. A Hoverbike race through a deadly urban wasteland!

• And he crossed the finish line! Let's go to the boards and see how he did.
• Time for a grueling endurance round! Will Ratchet survive wave after a wave of DreadZone's most terrible? Will Juanita's feelings for me interfere with our work relationship? Only time will tell!
• I gotta tell you Juanita I don't think I'm gonna be buying property in this neighborhood! Although I hear they do have a great school district.
• On second thought this place wouldn't be half bad with a paint job and some landscaping!
• Phew! That was some pretty exciting stuff, folks. I'm gonna need a nap.
• Welcome, DreadZone fans. to another perfect day! Our contestants will begin by fighting for their lives en route to the control station! Once there they'll have to destroy all the jamming devices to get the shields back online. Think they can do it? No, neither do I.

• What's going on down there?! Come on Team Darkstar, do something! Oh, this is about as exciting as watching my gums recede!
• Well I'll be a monkey's tookus! They've actually managed to recalibrate all the lightning collectors!
• That Hovership is quite a machine. I wonder if it gets satellite radio?
• The action is getting hot in DreadZone!
• Folks, I am humbled here today. I have not seen a team this good since the days of Ace Hardlight.
• Ratchet has knocked out the last of the jammers! But wait, the technicians have just informed me that the control tower was damaged during the fighting!
• Hold on a sec, folks. We've got a change in plans! Team Darkstar is not finished yet. Our ratings are through the roof! Let's give the audience some more carnage in DreadZone's endurance round!
• Let's tell the contestants what they're up against. Team Darkstar will be facing DreadZone's toughest, nastiest, don't go home until I've destroyed an entire planet kind of opponent. And don't bother running, they'll just destroy the shield generator you've worked so hard to repair. Have fun!
• Let's introduce our first group of bad guys. They're decrepit, they're nasty, they're robot zombies!
• Ooh! Chilling! Every time I see these guys I get the willies. Hey, is there something crawling on my neck?
• (sings) Here come the bad guys!
• Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's an interplanetary space transport! It's certain death for Team Darkstar!
• Oh, man. Take a look at these guys. I'd hate to meet them in a dark alley! Not that I hang out in dark alleys.
• What else can we throw at these guys?!
• Oh, wow! Yeesh! That looked painful.
• I hope he has life insurance!
• Ooh! That's gonna be hard to clean up.
• I'm amazed! Team Darkstar should have been gone a long time ago! Looks like DreadZone's gonna have to build some new killing machines!

• Oh, mama! This guy ought to have his license revoked.
• Buckle up, folks. This is gonna be one bumpy flight! Ratchet will have to stay airborne while fighting through waves of deadly enemies!
• Bing! The captain has activated the fasten your seatbelt sign. In the event of a sudden loss of pressure gas masks will drop from the ceiling
• Remember that your seat also serves as a flotation device. Not that it will matter because you'll be blown into a thousand bloody pieces!
• Wow, Ratchet! You can be my wingman anytime.
• Oh, aren't you the nice one? All sugar and spice on the outside and a raging lava cat on the inside. Rawr!
• Guess our hero isn't finished doing hard time at Maraxus prison! We're back everybody for a shower full of hot metal death-dealing robot love!
• Hello, DreadZone fans! Get ready for a dance with danger! The most electrifying carnagerific showdown we've ever put together! Welcome to the Gauntlet of Doom!
• Would you prefer that? I can be sensitive
• Today we have an action-packed race through deep space! You've seen the mad skills this lombax displays in ground combat, but how will he hold up in the pilot's chair? Let's find out!
• Gauntlet of Doom, my dookie!
• You are? I told my mother to watch the show! She never watches. She hates it! She always wanted me to be a doctor.

• All right, sports fans, get out your scorecards. Let's see if Team Darkstar can handle this next challenge! It's node capturing time! Each node is guarded by a heavy turret. Capture the turret and the node to proceed to the next one. Try not to get pummeled! Oh pummeled I love that word! Reminds me of nursery school.
• Folks, Gleeman Vox is leaving the area! But something tells me this isn't over.
• I'm flabbergasted, Juanita Ratchet's team has reached the halfway point and they are still going strong!
• Unbelievable! You know I thought they'd be sopping these guys up with a mop by now!
• Wow! This is the most exciting match I've ever seen! DreadZone has outdone themselves this season! I'm serious, I'll put my journalistic integrity on it! This is.. uh. What's that say? Oh, no. There goes the holoprompter again. Oh, somebody fix this thing, huh? You guys, we're falling apart here!
• Yeah I know. I can go swimming, play tennis. Oh, by the way, is this microphone on?
• As an objective, journalistic, commentator I can tell you right now that Ratchet is totally hosed!
• Oh we're getting down to the end folks! Let's see how he handles the danger round!
• And he's down! Now stay tuned for the DreadZone post-game autopsy. Have you ever wondered what a lombax's spleen looks like? Me too.
• It's time to relive the drama of Ratchet's greatest arena victories. Now in back-to-back danger matches!
• Not bad. But did our furry little maniac save some ammo for the rest of them?
• You know, I just can't respect a gladiator who gets upset about being suddenly ambushed by hollow enhanced versions of all his worst enemies!
• That is so true, Juanita. You've hit the nail on the head!
• Mmm. This is a tricky one, Juanita! Our contestant will wage war using only one weapon!
• Mmm stinky!
• Oh he's almost out of ammo. He'd better make every shot count!
• Amazing! I didn't know it was possible to beat that challenge! I mean seriously, how many contestants have we seen get chewed up and spit out? I mean what, nine? Is it nine? Uh, it's not nine. Is it, well, ten maybe?
• White washed, no bleach, tumble dry, make sure you put it on the high radiation setting to avoid wrinkles!
• Uh-oh. Ratchet has stepped out of bounds! He'll be penalized with a mild, and by mild I mean excruciatingly painful, shock before he's teleported in bounds!
• Time is rapidly running out! Can our courageous contestant catch the clock to complete the course?
• The tension is tearing me apart!
• Hi g'day, Sheila. I think I'm turning Australian!
• I think you're an idiot!
• Ratchet, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for all the terrible things I've said about you. Please, please, don't let me die!
• Who wants to be an exterminator? Not me!
• That was close!
• He looked a little slow out there this time, Juanita!
• Tell that to his lower abdomen when they actually find it!
• I can! Hey, Juanita. I'm glad I'm not on the cleaning crew, eh.
• And now a DreadZone recap. In an amazing last-minute play- Eviscerator cut Grey Justice in half with his teammate Timezone!
• Oh, amazing! That's why they call him Ace Hardlight, folks! Not only does he beat you at your own game, he beats you with your own legs!
• Hey! Got another DreadZone recap for you, folks. Earlier today Team Reactor absolutely buried Team Galacticon. Crews are still digging.
• Wow, he won a brand new cable gun! That's exciting!
• And the grand prize is an EMP launcher!
• Ratchet's gonna take away some gravity boots! What a prize!
• Looks like Ratchet is gonna be taking away a new pair of grind boots!
• Uh-oh! Ratchet is looking weak!
• I think Ratchet is slowing down a little!

• Ratchet is a DreadZone freak!
• Juanita? What's that smell? Are you pouring acid down my pants again, you little vixen?
• Road rage!
• Defensive kill!
• Defensive destruction, folks!
• Node kill!
• That node is deadly!
• Sunday driver!
• Oh, driver, watch the road!
• I'm rolling deep to the club in my Landstalker, baby!
• Wow! I haven't seen anything like that since a kangal beast took a liking to my private area! In my condo complex, you know, where the pool is?
• Ouch! Oh! That reminds me of the time Mr. Vicarious was smushed by the Landstalker. Sadly he didn't live through it!
• Ooh! Looks like Reactor's been rebuilt and upgraded! And he looks a little gassy, too. Sleep gas, that is! Let's hope Team Darkstar resists the urge to take a whiff.
• Ratchet will have to use the nodes to align the grind rails. Go get 'em faganese tiger beast!
• Oh here it is, folks.! The massive attack! Utter and total destruction right at your fingertips!
• Need something permanently removed like a city? Use the massive attack!
• That one made my teeth rattle and I think I just swallowed my partials! Oh, that's the massive attack, folks!
• Ooh! Ratchet's a tough guy with that wrench. He can run my casino anytime!
• He's a madman with that wrench!
• Oh baby! Those dual vipers are spitting fire!
• And they've survived the first stage of today's special surprise scenario! Ooh, I can't wait to find out what happens next!

Dallas and Juanita

Dallas Wanamaker: Welcome to Catacrom Four. We've got fun and games for you today as our contestant fights through a graveyard of history! The sounds of battle echo through the remains of fallen war machines! Not a place for the weak-hearted or me for that matter. That's why I'm watching from here!

Juanita Alvaro: I couldn't agree more Dallas, you are a sissy man. But enough about you, this place is ripe for carnage! I'm predicting a very very bloody afternoon.

Dallas Wanamaker: Juanita bonita conchita dominguez, ladies and gentlemen! I call the plays, she drops the science!

Juanita Alvaro: (snores) Wake me up when there's blood on the ground, Dallas.

Dallas Wanamaker: (laughs) You're right about that, Juanita!

Juanita Alvaro: (laughs) He'll be dead in 60 seconds.

Juanita Alvaro: Interesting, Dallas. Do you think those robots are biodegradable?

Dallas Wanamaker: Good question, Juanita. What I do know is that your consideration for the environment and nature's creatures is moving. Would you like to have dinner with me? I know this great veal place, mmm!

Dallas Wanamaker: Look at this place! Desperate, lonely like a caged animal waiting to be let loose! Does that sound about right, Juanita?

Juanita Alvaro: I would go with creepy, barren, and better left forgotten.

Dallas Wanamaker: We are loving this carnage, folks! But it's time for the final showdown in the Torval burial dome! There's no telling what lurks inside these walls.

Juanita Alvaro: I have a feeling this show is about to come to a sudden and violent end, Dallas.

Dallas Wanamaker: He survived! Simply unbelievable! I'll tell you, Juanita- this new guy looks like he's got a lot of potential!

Juanita Alvaro: Don't forget Dallas. The average life expectancy of a DreadZone contestant is four and a half minutes. This lombax has a long way to go!

'Juanita Alvaro: Team Darkstar's got their work cut out for them today. Think they can reach the first arena unscathed? Of course you don't. DreadZones nastiest will be right there to welcome them! "Welcome Team Darkstar! Welcome to certain doom!" Oh, I should have been an actor.

Dallas Wanamaker: She's got a mean streak, ladies and gentlemen!

Dallas Wanamaker: Look at this action folks and look at this swamp! Hey, Juanita, I heard seratosian swamp muck does wonders for your skin.

Juanita Alvaro: Yes, Dallas. The third degree burns are exquisitely painful.

Dallas Wanamaker: You heard it here folks- Juanita enjoys being burned!

Dallas Wanamaker: Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to DreadZone! This week our contestants will battle inside the Dark Cathedral of Kronos. But first they'll have to get past the cathedral's outer defenses! Personally I don't see how it can be done, Juanita.

Juanita Alvaro: It's going to be tricky, Dallas. Let's see if our lombax can shed some light on the mystery.

Dallas Wanamaker: Ladies and gentlemen today's all-star exterminator is the one, the only, Shellshock! Give it up for the killer colossus! Oh, looks like our contestant may be headed for an early retirement!

Juanita Alvaro: It's a safe bet Dallas. Shellshock was discharged from the military for incinerating his commanding officer on twenty-six separate occasions. They say he has problems with anger and impulse control, but frankly, Dallas, I don't see it!

Dallas Wanamaker: I did not know that!

Juanita Alvaro: Oh, it's not true. I just made it up!

Dallas Wanamaker: But wait! Guess who's imprisoned and being left for dead? Hydro Girl! Hey, Hydro Girl, HG, can you hear me? Of course you can't! Wondering who stole your Hydro Girl X-ray sun shades? Me, baby!

Juanita Alvaro: If Ratchet can free Hydro Girl he'll be given back his freedom! To return to the containment suites.

Juanita Alvaro: Typical, since you're full of hot air.

Dallas Wanamaker: Yeah, stick to the straight stuff, babe. Leave the comedy to me, eh?

Juanita Alvaro: I can attest to the strength of the force fields, Dallas. Just yesterday during an interview I smashed a contestant's head into one and it didn't even scratch the force field! (laughs)

Dallas Wanamaker: What about the contestant?

Juanita Alvaro: His head exploded like a melon, Dallas.

Juanita Alvaro: You know what they say, Dallas. The heroes that fight together die together. Horribly, in terrible agony, screaming in pain!

Dallas Wanamaker: Uh-huh, yeah. We get it, Juanita. She's passionate about her work. folks.

Dallas Wanamaker: Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. Today's episode of DreadZone takes us to the Valix Asteroid Belt home of the legendary Valix Lighthouse Network! Ratchet's first objective is to acquire a Hovership and get airborne!

Juanita Alvaro: There is no air in space, Dallas.

Dallas Wanamaker: Show off!

Juanita Alvaro: Moron!

Juanita Alvaro: That's right, Dallas. Ratchet's in for a bumpy ride!

Dallas Wanamaker: Not unless you sit in the middle of the plane. Oh, and always order the kosher meal. It's just better.

Juanita Alvaro: It's too bad. Many of the fans I've spoken with are upset about Ratchet's continued survival. They want to see him die, Dallas.. horribly.

Dallas Wanamaker: And to hear the sound of your sexy voice, Juanita!

Dallas Wanamaker: Wow, he got the south power station up and running! But a thousand bolts says he won't make it to the north station. What do you say, Juanita?

Juanita Alvaro: You're on!

Dallas Wanamaker: Oh, hoho! He did it! Pay up, Juanita!

Dallas Wanamaker: He's gonna make it! Juanita owes me two thousand bolts! Hey, uh what are you doing?

Juanita Alvaro: What do you think, you twit?

Dallas Wanamaker: Uh, is that a stun ray? Ladies and gentlemen, DreadZone we'll be right back after these messages!

Juanita Alvaro: We're live we can't go to commercial!

Dallas Wanamaker: Help me I'm being robbed!

Dallas Wanamaker: Folks, we're halfway through and I don't know about you but I'm ready for some more carnage!

Juanita Alvaro: Definitely, Dallas. Yummy unadulterated carnage!

Dallas Wanamaker: Hmm... did you say adultery?

Dallas Wanamaker: This week's episode begins with a dramatic airborne paradrop. Team Darkstar is being inserted into the notorious Torval battle course! These guys have no idea what's in store for them down there. Take it from me, ladies and gentlemen, this place is a living hell of savage urban warfare!

Juanita Alvaro: Sounds nice. But where's the golf course?

Dallas Wanamaker: (laughs)

Juanita Alvaro: (laughs)

Dallas Wanamaker: Don't quit your day job.

Dallas Wanamaker: Look at Team Darkstar get to work. You know, this reminds me of that episode of The J Team where the bad guys lock the team up inside a garage with about a million bolts worth of power tools and spare parts so they construct a spider tank and bust out! You remember that one?! Oh, I love it when a plan comes together.

Juanita Alvaro: You just described nearly every episode.

Dallas Wanamaker: Yeah, yeah, great show. You know, whatever happened to the quality programming, huh? Just a bunch of junk on the tube these days! Except for DreadZone, of course!

Juanita Alvaro: Ratchet is the first contestant in history to reach stage three of the Torval battle course. Looks like another case of beginner's luck, Dallas.

Dallas Wanamaker: Beginner's luck? We're already halfway through the season!

Juanita Alvaro: Shut up, Dallas.

Dallas Wanamaker: Ooh! Sounds like somebody's got a case of baditude!

Dallas Wanamaker: Welcome to stage three of the Torval battle course, ladies and gentlemen. Ratchet now has free reign of this hellish urban wasteland! What's his next move, Juanita?

Juanita Alvaro: Well if it's anything like the dream I had last night, he'll be devoured by a ravenous stygian blood bat!

Dallas Wanamaker: Mmm, did you stop taking your medication again?

Dallas Wanamaker: Wow! Ratchet is definitely not messing around. He just picked up a furium detonator highly volatile and extremely dangerous! Furium is banned everywhere in the galaxy except right here on DreadZone!

Juanita Alvaro: Well I can tell you from my own childhood experience- that stuff will blow the arms and legs clean off a Captain Qwark action figure. Same goes for hamsters.

Dallas Wanamaker: Huh, sounds like somebody's parents should have kept a closer eye on their little girl. The question is: What is Ratchet gonna do with all of that destructive power?!

Dallas Wanamaker: Oh, I see! It's all becoming clear to me now.. sort of. Ratchet plans to use the furium detonator to destroy.. the Ace Hardlight memorial?!

Juanita Alvaro: I had to interview that arrogant prat once! If it was me, I'd do the same thing.

Dallas Wanamaker: Ahem. Surely you don't mean our illustrious exterminator champion? Why, I just purchased the complete set of Ace Hardlight collectible lunchboxes!

Dallas Wanamaker: Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to the zone- the DreadZone! Today our superstar contestant, Ratchet, will test his formidable combat skills over the savage seas of planet Stygia!

Juanita Alvaro: The population of Stygia is protected from the unceasing meteor storms by a gravimetric shield. Unfortunately the shield collapsed when DreadZone technicians installed a series of jamming devices.

Dallas Wanamaker: Whoops!

Juanita Alvaro: If Ratchet cannot destroy those drumming devices and bring the shield back online, the people of Stygia will be flattened like a tortilla.

Dallas Wanamaker: Team Darkstar has made it to the control tower. Now it's up to them to knock out those jammers, Juanita!

Juanita Alvaro: I think I speak for all DreadZone fans when I say I can't wait to see the citizens of Stygia crushed like tiny bugs! Dallas..

Dallas Wanamaker: Team Darkstar has knocked out half the jammers and wow look at that storm! You know, I used to have a condo here, Juanita.

Juanita Alvaro: That doesn't surprise me.

Dallas Wanamaker: Yeah, I used to rent it out to tourists! Until those newlyweds were incinerated by the lightning! Oh, tough break.

Dallas Wanamaker: Team Darkstar is refusing to give up! They're attempting to recalibrate the entire array of lightning collectors by hand! Oh, what spirit, Juanita! What determination!

Juanita Alvaro: Stop it. I'm starting to tear up!

Dallas Wanamaker: I don't believe it! Did they just do what I think they did?

Juanita Alvaro: It seems Ratchet and his team have managed to recalibrate the lightning collectors and re-energize the shield. Big whoopee.

Dallas Wanamaker: Team Darkstar is on their way to hack the second orb. You know they function like a well-oiled machine. They've come a long way since we first saw them on Catacrom four, Juanita!

Juanita Alvaro: They certainly have Dallas but at this point I think we're all pretty... sick of them.

Dallas Wanamaker: Oh, speak for yourself! These guys are really starting to grow on me! Ratchet may be the greatest DreadZone contestant since Ace Hardlight!

Juanita Alvaro: You better hope Ace isn't listening!

Dallas Wanamaker: Ooh, I was just kidding big guy. You're the best.

Dallas Wanamaker: Wow Team Darkstar has pulled off another miracle here on Stygia! I'll tell you these guys never cease to amaze-.. oh, hold up. We've just been handed a special bulletin. Oh my!

Juanita Alvaro: Ah! I knew they wouldn't let him worm his way out of this so easily!

Dallas Wanamaker: It seems the script for today's episode has been modified to include a special endurance round!

Juanita Alvaro: Team Darkstar will fight for their lives against some of the deadliest robot warriors in the DreadZone arsenal.

Dallas Wanamaker: And the fight starts right now!

Dallas Wanamaker: Oh our furry little friend has escaped again. ah looks like you'll be washing my car after all, Juanita!

Juanita Alvaro: Laugh it up Dallas. I put poison in your coffee!

Dallas Wanamaker: Huh. You know, I thought it tasted a little funny.

Juanita Alvaro: You'd think they'd mix it up a little, Dallas. When was the last time our contestants faced an army of carnivorous cyborg pigs?

Dallas Wanamaker: Mm, good point, Juanita. If you don't mind, I'm gonna drop that one in the suggestion box.

Juanita Alvaro: I hear the prison guards like their lombax extra crispy!

Dallas Wanamaker: Yikes!

Dallas Wanamaker: This derelict space station is home to some of the most electrifying, pulse-pounding, skull-smashing action ever filmed! Get ready for the ride of your life right here on DreadZone!

Juanita Alvaro: Scary and fun! Ratchet's going to need the Hovership to get to the station. Once there, he'll have to destroy the deadly turret defenses. What do you think his chances are, Dallas?

Dallas Wanamaker: Oh, I've just been informed that the space station's power core has been set to detonate! If that bomb goes off before Ratchet can disarm it the entire station will be obliterated in a spectacular nuclear supernova!

Juanita Alvaro: Wow I'd love to see that!

Dallas Wanamaker: It does sound pretty groovy. Hey, uh, you think we're sitting far enough away?

Juanita Alvaro: Probably not! That's why I put on two thousand SPF sunblock and brought these welding goggles.

Dallas Wanamaker: Good thinking, Juanita. I don't suppose you brought an extra pair?

Dallas Wanamaker: Ladies and gentlemen, that was a close one! Looks like Team Darkstar's making some headway!

Juanita Alvaro: Oh, I wish this station had exploded! If only for the dramatic effect.

Dallas Wanamaker: Oh! Looks like Vox is going right for the heartstrings! They've taken Clank hostage!

Juanita Alvaro: Ooh! This could be a tear jerker.

Dallas Wanamaker: I knew it wasn't going to be that easy. Come on, folks! This is DreadZone!

Juanita Alvaro: Of course not, Dallas. Nothing is easy. It looks like Ratchet will have to rescue Clank from certain doom!

Dallas Wanamaker: Well I am simply flabbergasted! This is our last show of the season but there's no ending?! Juanita, as respected journalists, it is our duty to speculate on what happens next!

Juanita Alvaro: Whatever does happen I'm just proud to be part of DreadZone's most violent season ever!

Dallas Wanamaker: Mhm, yeah. Well my prediction is that Ratchet picks me up in the battledome shuttle and we return to planet Florana! The hero and the celebrity! We'll have a cooking show and a wacky sitcom and then I'll write a tell-all book called Dallas and Ratchet - When Did the Magic End?.

Juanita Alvaro: Okay, back to the action. We're live from the control level inside the Battledome where Team Darkstar embarks on their most important mission yet. To save us all from a fiery death!

Dallas Wanamaker: Thanks to Vox, the Battledome has been set to explode and we're all stuck here imprisoned by three force fields. Not one, three! Oh somebody was thorough! Well, if Team Darkstar doesn't find a way to disable them we're all toast!

Juanita Alvaro: Maybe it's the fact that we're still alive?

Dallas Wanamaker: You are so sexy when you're condescending!

Juanita Alvaro: Me too, Dallas. But this isn't some pansy game show like the so-called Annihilation Nation. On DreadZone we take the action to the next level.

Dallas Wanamaker: Oh oh I like the sound of that.. Oof!

Dallas Wanamaker: Ratchet is blasting his way into the final stretch! This guy is no joke, Juanita.

Juanita Alvaro: I think the joke is on him, Dallas. That was just a warm-up. This fight is about to get deadly!

Juanita Alvaro: How about a very deadly ball of pudding?

Dallas Wanamaker: Come on! How about something big and you know, dangerous?!

Juanita Alvaro: Okay. We'll give him your ego!

Dallas Wanamaker: In this challenge contestants must defeat as many enemies as they can within the time limit. If they can reach their goal before time runs out we let them live!

Juanita Alvaro: Well at least for a few minutes, sometimes less.

Dallas Wanamaker: Well we're not running a charity here, Juanita. You gotta pay to play!

Juanita Alvaro: That challenge is far too easy! It's time to bring on the exploding sheep!

Dallas Wanamaker: That's right! Exploding sheep! Sheep noises? Oh, put whatever you want in the holoprompter I'm not reading it! Where is the integrity? Integrity, a fragrance for man! Dallas, where's it do you? (laughs) Oh, that was shameless.

Juanita Alvaro: How does a man like you sleep at night?

Dallas Wanamaker: With nighty-night flavored tea! Mm-mm! It's delicious!

'Dallas Wanamaker: Time for vehicular destruction! Ratchet will be taking the wheel of one of DreadZones nastiest machines. His mission: obliterate everything in sight. Oh that's my kind of challenge, Juanita

Juanita Alvaro: Exactly, Dallas. A challenge that's specially designed to appeal to idiots.

Dallas Wanamaker: Oh, see? Something for everybody, folks! That is what is so great about DreadZone!

Dallas Wanamaker: Wow did you see that? I need a change of underwear! How about you, Juanita?

Juanita Alvaro: I'm not wearing any.

Dallas Wanamaker: Rawr!

• Why did I go and introduce Clank to that tech droid? Ugh! She could have been mine!

• Oh Ratchet is cutting 'em down like a lawnmower. I get the feeling he's done this before, Juanita!
• What kind of idiot leaves a loaded gun lying around waiting to be picked up by any psychopathic lombax who just happens to be passing by?!
• Seriously, whatever happened to safety in the workplace?
• look around Ratchet there's gotta be some kind of high-powered energy weapon lying around.
• He'll need to conserve ammo by taking out multiple enemies at once!
• Ratchet can only carry one weapon at a time. Any dropped weapons will be teleported away!
• Ratchet must complete all the objectives within the specified time limit. If the clock hits zero his deadlock collar will boom! Detonate! It's pretty spectacular when that happens, folks. Remember the last guy? Oh good times. Good times.
• Time is halfway up! He's dragging his butt out there, Juanita. Looks like we might have another popper on our hands!
• It's just like being in the front row at aqua world. You're guaranteed to get wet! (laughs)

• On today's show we'll introduce you to our latest contestants known as Team Darkstar! The team is led by a diminutive lombax named Ratchet. But the real brains on the team come from his robotic mission engineer, Clank! In today's challenge, these green horns will make their way to the ominous Catacrom Burial Dome! This is the first of nine planets in the championship tournament, each crueler and deadlier than the last! Should Ratchet miraculously survive the nine deadly planets and all three battledome tournaments, he'll have the honor of fighting DreadZone's undefeated champion Ace Hardlight! So without further ado, let's go to the action!
• Uh-oh! Looks like Team Darkstar is trapped. If Ratchet survives this he'll have some harsh words for his mission engineer!

• Ooh, I hope so! This time I brought a shower cap.
