The Technodrome brought chaos to the streets of New York City. Throngs of people tried to flee its path, but the war machine’s monumental mass made that nearly impossible!

A terrified news reporter and a cameraman were on the scene. “The aliens are here!” the reporter screamed into the camera. “That’s right, folks, run for your ever-loving lives, because they’re abducting us!”

Suddenly, one of the Technodrome’s hydraulic panels opened, releasing a fleet of flying pods!

“That’s right, men, women, children—even pets aren’t safe!” the reporter yelled. A Kraang pod flew down and scooped him up into the ship.

That was the end of his broadcast!

People everywhere were being abducted by the Kraang pods: little old ladies, street performers, math teachers. No one was safe!

In the cockpit of one of the pods, a Kraang-droid pilot repeated its orders from high command. “Kraang must collect human specimens for Kraang.”

But some of the droids may have been confused about what the word human meant. Some pods were busy abducting alley cats and park pigeons!

Meanwhile, a few blocks away, police officers attempted to maintain law and order during the invasion. “Don’t worry, ma’am, the cops are here!” an officer said as he helped a lady to safety. For a brief moment, it seemed he had saved the day—until he was suddenly sucked up into the pod. “Help!” he pleaded. “They’re gonna probe me!”
