Background

Visuals: On a black background, a light blue spark appears in the middle of the screen and then splits into multiple different sparks. They carve out a crystal wireframe of a white box, carved with a X-shaped area just off-center and the right section colored orange, and the construction moves all about. As the sparks finish drawing the object, the entire thing glows light blue as the sections split apart and shrink in size, increasing the size of the area inside of it until it settles in the middle of the screen, where it starts to grow brighter. Below, the text "4X Studio" blurs in below with a heavy glow, and then the entire thing dims, revealing that the structure is now a crude 2D drawing.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A tense dramatic entry with added whooshes.

Availability: Used only once on Iron Storm.
