In December 1986, a group of Green Gorillas took control of the town supermarket of [[Vanityville]], emptying it of all [[Christmas]] paraphernalia and instead forcing the shopping customers to buy their green-gorilla merchandise, at gunpoint. They encountered a group of [[Clockwork Cherub]]s of the Crew, led by Commander [[Amadeo-378]], by coincidence. Noting the affected humans' unhappiness, the Cupids decided the Gang's aims seemed oppose to their own and decided to defeat them, kicking off the [[Skirmish at the Vanityville Supermarket]]. The Cupids were victorious, although the Gang's scientists subsequently learned how to reverse Cupid [[Love Potion|romanticisation]]. Thereafter, the Cupids went on to oppose the Gorillas on many occasions, “from the depths of the [[Amazonian jungle]] to the very [[North Pole]]”. Meanwhile, Amadeo-378 was commended for his effective leadership, and was awarded membership of the [[Order of Aphrodite]]. | In December 1986, a group of Green Gorillas took control of the town supermarket of [[Vanityville]], emptying it of all [[Christmas]] paraphernalia and instead forcing the shopping customers to buy their green-gorilla merchandise, at gunpoint.

In addition to marking their first meeting with the Gorillas, this event was notable as the Crew's first formal use of physical force other than Cupid Arrows against their opponents. As the Cupids learned about the idea, there was a brief fighting craze in the Homeworld, with Cupids getting into fights with other Cupids with whom they had mild disagreements. However, this quickly passed.

The [[Mark IV]]s were designed with this in mind, and inline with the new acknowledgement of violent strategies: in contrast to most marks of Clockwork Cherubs, they were house-sized colossi, armed for war.
