Nightmare Fuel / War of the Monsters

Go To

  • Many of the origin videos are pretty horrific...
    • Congar is just a humble chimpanzee in space, until one of the malfunctioning UFOs hits the orbiting shuttle he's in. Infected with the mutagenic fuel, Congar plummets to Earth, burning and mutating into a giant ape. It's little wonder why he's full of rage shortly once he crash lands.
    • In a shadowy Metro City laboratory, a mad scientist takes a drop of the mutagenic alien fuel and feeds it to Preytor, still just a tiny praying mantis. Preytor repays the scientist by rapidly growing in size, smashing the scientist's experiments... and eating him alive.
    • Kineticlops' origin is probably the most horrific. At a remote power grid, a security guard inspects a crash and finds a downed UFO wrapped in the power lines. Before he can run away, the guard is zapped by a fuel-infused electrical arc. His cries of pain become unearthly echoing screams as he mutates into a monstrous eyeball suspended in a body of electricity.
    • Agamo was once an ancient statue head, forgotten, on a tropical island... until the island shaman decides to feed it the alien fuel from a UFO. Rather than appeasing the ancient god, the shaman is crushed underfoot as the newly-animated Agamo digs himself out of the ground and rises to action.
    • Robo-47 predates the alien invasion, decommissioned in a military warehouse. What his purpose was, or who his intended enemy was, is unknown. The alien fuel reactivates him, and Robo-47 breaks free, scanning the night sky for his next target... and then finishing by firing his nuclear weapon at the camera.
    • Togera's backstory is intriguing. Asleep on the ocean floor, he isn't mutated by leaking alien fuel... merely AWOKEN by it.
  • Cerebulon, the aptly-named Destroyer of Worlds, is pure nightmare fuel. We never found out its motivations for launching the alien invasion, or why it wants Earth destroyed so badly. And its actual, physical appearence, underneath all the machinery? A hateful looking Zorgulon with a large pulsating brain, several glowing red eyes, sword-like blades in place of arms, and four writing tentacles it uses to propel itself around.
