Gangrene is thinking on how to get revenge on Action Man. “I know, I’ll set up a meeting with Action Man where I choose the location. I’ll call a truce to make him come unarmed - a fake truce that is mwahahaha!!”
Action Man gets to the location where he’s to meet Gangrene an hour early. He stashes his uzi and rifle/rocket launcher. He says to himself “Just incase”. He then goes and hides where he can’t be seen and waits for Professor Gangrene.
Professor Gangrene thinks he’s the first person there along with his six Toxic Robots guarding him.
Action Man arrives and starts walking towards Gangrene. He seen the Toxic Robots arriving with Gangrene.
As Action Man gets closer to Professor Gangrene he says “I see that you have brought along some protection just for a truce between us Professor Gangrene.”
Four of the Toxic Robots watch on as Action Man and Gangrene shake hands and each call a truce.
As Action Man walks away from just shaking the hands of the notorious villain Professor Gangrene, he feels that Gangrene didn’t mean anything and it was all a lie. This thought is conformed when he overhears Gangrene ordering his robots to attack.
He grabs the rifle/rocket launcher from where he stashed it and rounds on the first Toxic Robot nearest to him.
The rifle fire explodes it.
The second Toxic Robot that remains outside raises one of it’s bladed arms but that’s all it managed to do before it’s was fired upon.
It explodes and falls backwards to the ground.
Action Man then heads to the remaining four robots that where with Professor Gangrene. He fires on the first robot that’s walking towards him slowly.
That Toxic Robot explodes.
Action Man then swings his rifle to the Toxic Robot next to Professor Gangrene.
As that Toxic robots explodes Gangrene ducks and runs away.
As Professor Gangrene runs away he doesn’t even to look back at his two remaining Toxic Robots that have joined together to take on Action Man.
Action Man aims the rocket launcher between the two remaining Toxic Robots that have joined together and says “You two are going to have a explosive ending”
He launches the missile at the two Toxic Robots and………
With all the robots now exploded, Action Man watches Gangrene sprint into the distance. He shouts out loud “PROFESSOR GANGRENE YOU MAY RUN THIS TIME BUT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO HIDE FROM ME FOR TO LONG BECAUSE I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!”
With Professor Gangrene long gone Action Man gathers all the robots into a pile ready for the next garbage collection.

BACKGROUND HISTORY Hound Point Battery, where the photographs were taken, was built at the beginning of the first world war to protect the Firth of Forth (Forth Estuary in Non-scottish).
In the early 1900s Britain had two major “home fleets”, the Grand Fleet for guarding the North Sea and North Atlantic and the other for guarding the Channel, Bay of Biscay and south to the entrance to the Mediterranean. (There were also a number of smaller fleets all over the world.) At this time Britain saw the main protagonists as Germany and to a lesser extent, Russia. The Grand Fleet was over 200 ships including 32 dreadnought or super dreadnought class battleships (the largest battleships in the world at the time).The home of the Grand fleet was Scapa Flow, a vast anchorage among the islands to the North of Scotland. To service these ships Navel bases in Rosyth, South Queensferry and Grangemouth were built all on the Firth of Forth. The Firth of Forth was regarded as "the most protected harbour in the British Empire” and by 1916 it became the main home of the Grand Fleet.
Hound Point Battery was one of many gun batteries defending the Firth of Forth. It consisted of two guns of six inch caliber. The location used for the photoshoot was the local ammunition lockers underneath the gun platform. Beneath this is the shelter for the crew. Not far away is the main ammunition store for the shells and the power magazine (like most big guns, they were loaded with a bag of powder charge and a projectile).
This is the side view of one of the gun emplacements, where the scenes where shot.
