...storyline that fans hold sacrosanct. Writer Robert Skir's decision to create a darker, organic Cybertron for the 1999 CGI television series _Beast Machines: Transformers_ won him few popularity points with the fandom. Skir's actions earned him numerous death threats, and incited more hate than a thousand Bin Laden speeches.

The cases were such a high priority that the team members were made to work overtime and cancel their vacations. Young female officers walked the empty streets at night as bait. But the Red Dress Killer continued to strike, thanks in part to police slip-ups and lost opportunities. Despite the rising body count, Wuhan's police didn't check with neighboring cities, including Yueyang, for similar cases. The summer murders took place in a district crammed with migrants, but Inspector...
