Basically it's based off of a G1 episode where Soundwave and Starscream run a dance club for.... some... nefarious plot reasons, I have seen that episode so many times and I STILL don't understand what they were trying to accomplish.

For CH I'm pushing for it to be some kind of money/resource farming ploy by selling illegal super-serum drugs out the back.

Oh heck man what if they were BRAIN WASHIN' drugs that the Decepticons engineer to try to control the populace and create super powered beings of their own to fight the actual super heroes
