Scientific Study #1: “Cockroaches and Mutant Variants: A Comparative Analysis”

In this groundbreaking study, we explore the fascinating world of cockroaches and their mutant counterparts. Dr. Madd’s genetic tinkering has unleashed a perilous threat, endangering both Plastic World and the human realm. Our research sheds light on their behavior, adaptations, and potential consequences.

Introduction

Cockroaches, resilient survivors of Earth’s evolutionary history, have adapted to diverse environments. However, the emergence of mutant cockroaches —engineered by Dr. Madd— poses unprecedented challenges. These genetically altered creatures exhibit enhanced traits, threatening the delicate balance of ecosystems.

Methods
  1. Field Observations:
    ◦ Disguised as ordinary plastic figurines, we infiltrated urban areas, laboratories, and abandoned buildings.
    ◦ Documented the behavior of regular cockroaches and their mutant counterparts.
    ◦ Noted differences in movement, aggression, and feeding patterns.
  2. Laboratory Experiments:
    ◦ Collaborated with Dr. Madd’s captured lab notes (retrieved during a daring mission).
    ◦ Analyzed genetic modifications in mutant cockroaches.
    ◦ Investigated their resistance to common insecticides.
Results

Our findings reveal stark contrasts between regular cockroaches and the mutant variants:

  1. Regular Cockroaches:
    ◦ Nocturnal scavengers: Hide in crevices, forage for food at night.
    ◦ Resilient: Survive extreme conditions, including nuclear fallout.
    ◦ Limited threat: Annoying pests but rarely dangerous to Army Men.
  2. Mutant Cockroaches:
    ◦ Enhanced Aggression: Attack other insects, including regular cockroaches.
    ◦ Speed and Strength: Swift movements, can change direction as if breaking the laws of physics, capable of scaling walls.
    ◦ Resistance to Bullets: Dr. Madd’s modifications grant partial immunity to common weapons, like plastic weapons. Their armor is very resilient, but no so much to metal weapons and explosions.
    ◦ Resistance to Fire: Do not resist explosions, but fire. Common Flamethrower do not work on them.
    ◦ Resistance to Toxins: Dr. Madd’s modifications grant immunity to common insecticides.
Discussion

The mutant cockroaches pose a dual threat:

  1. Plastic World: Their invasion disrupts ecosystems, endangering miniature habitats. If M.C. can’t eat lifeforms, they will eventually start eating plastic, from trees to Army Men.
  2. Real World: Dr. Madd’s creations could escape containment, wreaking havoc on other worlds. During the reign of humans, common cockroaches spread throughout their world, reaching every corner of it. It is statistically probable that the mutants will somehow manage to reach other worlds.
Conclusion

As plastic Army Men, we must collaborate with scientists to contain this menace. Our shared survival depends on understanding these resilient creatures and countering Dr. Madd’s reckless experiments.
