prototype-93060-robot-prot13-flyblast History:
(Warstrike#1) - Keen to wipe out the self-perceived threat the rising number of ultras, Mr. Kyle from nefarious organization Xanadu Amalgamated (and secret leader of the Brotherhood cabal) hired Blind Faith to eliminate ultras, beginning with Warstrike.

(Warstrike#5 (fb) - BTS) - Mr. Kyle obtained the technology from the Prototype armor from various Ultratech moles to create a Prototype robot mimicking the appearance of the Jimmy Ruiz Prototype. Kyle planned for the robot to fly into the planned confrontation at Yankee Stadium to save the day but to "accidentally" kill both Blind Faith and Warstrike, creating a public embarrassment for Ultratech. The desired outcome was to be the shutdown of Ultratech due to the public outcry, as Ultratech was in the business of making ultras.

(Warstrike#4) <August 28, 1994> - After Warstrike threw the ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium, Blind Faith appeared and attacked him.

Warstrike took a blast from Blind Faith to prevent fans from being hit, after with the Prototype robot arrived, blasting the ground at Blind Faith's feet and answering his "Who the Hell?" with "Your worst nightmare."

Believing this to be the real Prototype, Blind Faith noted that he still had enough power to "rip that tin can off your damn back!"

(Prototype#13) - Flying through the air, the Prototype robot blasted at both Blind Faith and Warstrike, the latter of whom fired a blast from his wrist weapon that either narrowly missed the robot or glanced its right shoulder pad.

(Prototype#13 - BTS) - After seeing a report of Prototype battling Warstrike and Blind Justice in Yankee Field, Prototype (Jimmy Ruiz) flew off to investigate.

(Prototype#13 (fb) - BTS) - The Prototype robot apparently knocked out Warstrike. prototype-93060-robot-prot13-des

(Prototype#13) - Blind Faith continued to dodge the Prototype robot's blasts, but when he showed off by sliding into one of the baseball field's bases, he found himself at the robot's mercy. However, he was saved when the real Prototype arrived and blasted the robot in the back, knocking it to the ground. Swiveling its neck so that its head was facing backwards, the robot fired a laser from its right eye into Prototype's chest and then followed up with a blast from its gauntlet. The robot then flew into the air and assaulted Prototype, grabbing him by the throat and compressing his neck piece.

Blind Faith took advantage of the distraction to flee.

Prototype knocked the robot away and then hit it again (both with two-handed punches), after which it opened a chest compartment apparently containing six missiles or blasters. Not wanting to wait and see what they were going to do, Prototype blasted and destroyed them. He then used his armor's sensor array, finding that it was actually a robot.

As Prototype confronted the now-recovered Warstrike, the robot blasted Prototype from behind. However, aware that he no longer needed to hold back against his attacker, Prototype allowed his bioenergy power levels to rise, and he released them as he crashed into the robot, shattering it to pieces.

Pleased with himself, Prototype announced that there was one less imitation Prototype around. Although also impressed the display of power that exceeded anything he had seen before, Warstrike advised him that there was no evidence left to tell them who had sent that thing after them.

(Warstrike#5) - Prototype blasted the robot's fragments, apparently leaving a puddle of charred remains.

(Warstrike#5 - BTS) - Blind Faith confronted Mr. Kyle at Xanadu Amalgamated, who admitted that he had hired Prototype to kill him. Kyle subsequently had his massive robot punch Blind Faith out of a window.

Comments: Created by Dan Danko, Hoang Nguyen and Roger Robinson.

Warstrike referenced Game Seven of the World Series, perhaps just in a scenario in his mind. There wasn't actually a 1994 World Series due to a strike by the Major League Baseball Players Association. However, there based on players named, this game would have been between the Seattle Mariners (Ken Griffey, Jr.) and the New York Yankees (Jimmy Key).
