Transformers vs. Masters of the Universe

This is rare footage and proof that I was once a recruit for Transformers.  I had become dissatisfied with Fallen Angels thanks largely to guys not showing up for matches.  I shopped myself around for a little while and one of the clans I had a tryout with was Transformers.  Sadly, thanks to the three-letter clan tag, the recruit "r", the brackets, and the 3 characters for my Team Fortress Red Cross and 3rd Eye guild tags, I only had three letters left for my name.  Also, they were saying that I would have to change my name to a Transformers character.  That was probably part of the reason I wound up not joining. :)

For the round, MU deployed the often-seen-in-pub-matches-but-seldom-seen-in-clan-matches ramp room sentry gun, and it gave us a surprising amount of trouble.  I found myself conc jumping to the battlements and trying to penetrate the spiral several times but with little success.  I was told to switch to sniper after about 12 minutes, though Skywarp continued sniping for a while and was later replaced by soundwave.  I had considerable success against Edman, but in fairness, he was facing two snipers.  I didn't think we needed two snipers, but I was more concerned just about sniping than anything else to speak up much.

The final round score was 4-0 in favor of MU.  We had very little flag movement while they penetrated our defense relatively easily.  And so began the brief era of [TrFr]Tic.MD-3e.
