Although my idea was much better, I accept this as AMAZING and will only strive to make better my next entry.

This is great stuff. Also, I love how you could only really do this with Destructoid. I love that our writers are just incredibly diverse personalities that can be spoofed in comic form.
Thanks guys! And to Jim, I know exactly what you mean, there very few sites that I could see something like this working on.
:D
:D
Holy shit Mikey, it's COOLER than what I even imagined! How'd you do that?! The only thing that's bad about it is that it's gonna be a bit hard to see a logical progression of what exactly is gonna happen next. It's gonna come down to the coolest scenario anybody can imagine with the destructor-toid to get the next one.
Holy Shit, Mikey! You have to be the most talented artist I've seen on the site. Where were you when I was an editor, man? Shit. Dtoid Vader would've been awesome.
Ahh, the last frame might conflict with my next idea, but I'll try anyhow:
Jim and Hamza dash outside to investigate the noise, and are confronted with the sight of the giant Destructor-toid approaching from the distance(in a pane something like the first scene of page one, but with the Destructor-toid seen on the visible side of the mountains). Jim mutters to himself that "That wasn't there before"
Hamza uses the zoom function built into his visor to get a closer view of the Destructor-toid, asking Jim if that's the extent of their problems.
"I think it may be a bother, but there is still a more pressing matter"
"Hmm?"
Jim lowers his shotgun and turns to Hamza.
"It appears that the situation is changing...and Neiro is still missing"
Hamza slings his hammer onto his shoulder as the shadow of the Destructor-toid is cast upon them. "Neiro, missing? Then who the hell is controlling that?"
End Scene
**Feel free to take some liberties with the dialog. Niero being missing should still be the biggest issue though. I'm thinking about this leading to something like the Destructor-toid being hacked as a reference to how the forums got hacked earlier in the month.**

Heeding the call of destiny, Jim Sterling and Cybernetic Tiger Z dash out of the boardwalk Sharkade, weapons blazing. They're caught off guard by an explosion that suddenly erupts outside the door, engulfing the area in flames.
When the dust settles, Sterling and Hamza are left unscathed, surrounded only by a mysterious, glowing sphere made of rainbows, puppies, and hearts.
Rising out of the sea next to the boardwalk is Chad Concelmo, dressed as Sabin from Final Fantasy VI and riding atop a group of dolphins. Rip Taylor throws confetti in the background (optional).

Great job Mikey! I can't wait to see what happens next. I don't have any ideas right now, but I'l think of something.
BTW ... did you ever get my email?

Ok I am going to give this a weird shot and it would be cool to see this.
Jim and Shark-Armored CTZ exit the arcade to a rainy boardwalk in terror and destruction. Robot chickens (or cocks) are blowing up buildings, humping mailboxes and stabbing people in the shin. Jim then turns to CTZ and tells him, "Let's go kick some ass." Next two or three panels are filled with CTZ swinging his hammer and Jim popping some cocks. Until they are surrounded by robo-cocks and CTZ informs Jim, "I think we are screwed now." Then the final panel shows a boot slamming on the ground and the person behind the boot saying, "Need some pills."

CTZ runs through the hallway and alerting the Dtoid editors at dusk, who popped their heads out of their elaborate house-like uberdesks in the Destructoid Penthouse of Awesome. Chad. Brad. Dyson. Jim. Latoya. Latoya? WTF is she doing here?
When they all reach the exterior of the building they see that the nearby buildings have all been but decimated, except for a McDonalds. The earth will be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust and you'll still be able to get a Bic Mac somehow. Something huge lies there in the distance -- and what appears to be the landing site of something extraterrestrial.
Something huge ... it kind of looks like ... a chicken egg?

The sharkade clerk falls out of his chair from seeing the awesome transformation. Jim and Hamza both reach the outside of the Sharkade, ready to fight whatever threat faces them, but all is calm. Jim looks at Hamza and says, "Well, I guess I look like a twat for bringing you out here for noth-" But he's cut off by the roar of the Destructor-toid suddenly standing up to full height out in the bay, sending splashes of water and huge waves in the heroes' direction. The next panel gives a closeup of the Destructor-toids' face turning towards them, also revealing the presence of small hitch hikers crawling all over the hull of the metal monster. Trolls. The last panel shows a serious monster of a wave heading right for the boardwalk that Jim and Hamza are standing on, threatening to wipe them out. Hamza is portrayed as saying, "Sharks laugh at waves like that, bring it on!" to which Jim replies, "But Brits don't go to the beach!"
Action time.
Jim and CTZ exit the Sharkade and are barely missed by a large grey rock thing. Once it slams into the arcade window, its easily identified as one of the smaller collossi (or reasonable facsimili thereore). Out cold.
Big Big panel, with the Destructoid-tor causing serious havok, roaring in playtime glee/menace. In the for ground of the panel, robotic wolves are advancing, looking very menacing in their own right.
Last few panels show CTZ and Sterling putting a little smackdown on a few wolves. "This is a fine mess we've gotten in."
A shadowed figure (you see a baseball bat slung over the shoulder of a cap wearing hero) corrects the incorrect grammar of the previous sentence.
Its Samit, dressed in Baseball Fury gear like from the Warriors. Face Paint and everything. Its blue, of course.
(The guys proceed to make fun of what he's wearing.)

I want a flashback to Hamza's abusive childhood. His parents are fighting again. His dad says "you'll never amount to anything Hamza!" so Hamza runs away from home to an aquarium where he meets Chad and an old zookeeper that takes care of all the aquariums dolphins and sharks.
What the fuck is that? I never saw him transform before...
Also, more Colette riding a Chocobo in a full suit of armor.

@Palidi
Yeah, I think there's great elements to everyone's ideas, which is why I don't envy Mikey's position in having to choose between all of them. The thing I like about yours Palidi, is the idea of the correlation to Destructoid.com's history as a website and the plot of the comic. That's something I would also try and go for, but it's hard to do that when this story isn't told by one person but everyone.

The destructortoid stands before the boardwalk, resplendent in its shiny glory. with a ferocious roar, it makes its way to the sharkade.
As Hamza and Jim prepare for battle, someone off-frame yells "STOP!"
the two turn and see Colette, dressed in battle gear, riding a chocobo at full gallop with two other chocobo behind her.
she stops in front of the two men, and says, "hop on. i've found Niero."
as he gets on his chocobo, Hamza looks at Colette and says "Are you wearing... Papercraft armor?"

Meanwhile at a nearby volcano…
Two figures stand silhouetted by lava light, one on the ground and one looming with a handgun trained on the other. Chad Concelmo is looking upwards into his dark assailant glowing red eyes with a fearful expression when the same THOOM! heard by Jim and Hamza at the Sharkade echoes up the mountainside. Startled, both turn to look downwards. Chad exclaims “Oh no! The city is in trouble!” and jumps off the cliff edge, only to rise up and float away in a rainbow, sparkling sphere.
The other figure glares after the retreating Chad, revealing Anthony Burch muttering quietly “I fucking hate you, Concelmo.” before jumping off the cliff himself.

The duo rush out of the arcade, but as soon as they get out the door they're pounced upon by trolls who leap off the roof of the arcade. Jim immediately explodes one's head with a point-blank blast from his shotgun. CTZ swings his mighty ban-hammer and finishes off the rest.
From off-panel a voice says "Amazing... I guess you were right about him, Jim. Now, how about a little help over here?"
The voice belongs to Chad Concelmo, who is a few yards out from the boardwalk in the ocean, riding on the back of a dolphin as though it were a horse. The dolphin is made up of big, blocky, 8-bit style pixels and looks like something out of an NES game, but Chad looks perfectly normal, though slightly stressed due to what's going on around him. Towering above and behind Chad and his "steed" is an enormous figure that the reader can't make out clearly due to the rain and the fact that it stretches beyond the confines of the panel. Quick cut to Jim and CTZ as they say in unison "Oh shit..."

@Ballistic:
Yeah, I know, which is why I left the note thing at the bottom of my submission post. I mean, the next person doesn't have to necessarily go with the direction, but it's an insight into where I would have gone, and was attempting to lead on to. Plus the whole "Niero is missing" thing adds another plot element that people can build off of.
