megatron has finally given me a mission
worthy of my abilities when i'm through
here this drilling platform will be
totally destroyed and the people of
planet earth will learn that the
predators will no longer be denied the
energy which is rightfully ours tsunami
blaster
there's no time that facility isn't far
from here i'll go
optimus
[Music]
[Applause]
a celebratory haiku to sky bites the
light flames rose on butterfly wings
black orange burning i'm such a romantic
who did that
scourge how dare you
[Music]
what's the matter with you megatron has
ordered me to come here
[Music]
transform
optimus prime i will not allow you to
destroy this structure sky-bite my
enemies have found me
they surround me and confound me and
with inbound missiles hound me as they
hit the ground around me but with one
astounding bound i shall escape
[Music]
scourge you're an autobot with an
autobot spark look deep within yourself
and you'll find it use its power to
reject your dedication to megatron's
cause
you can do this scourge i know you can
[Music]
[Music]
megatron's influence must be weakening
why else would he att*ck sky bite
[Music]
i gave you a direct order skylight that
drilling platform was supposed to have
been totally destroyed what's your
excuse this time
you were betrayed megatron i told you
not to trust those decepticons and i was
right i was prevented from carrying out
your orders by the treasure scourge who
viciously att*cked me
then optimus showed up and the two of
them att*cked me at the same time
scourge says he's on our side but his
actions prove otherwise nonsense his
loyalty to me is unquestioned now then
what have you to report worth listening
to what are you saying that scourge was
acting on your orders when he silenced
this discussion is over
there's something fishy here and it's
not me
[Music]
right now scourge thinks of himself as a
decepticon but when he scanned that
truck he scanned me as well so there's a
battle going on inside him between
megatron's evil influence and my
dedication to goodness and justice
that scourge is bad news and nothing but
he leads the decepticons does optimus
really think he's going to change all of
a sudden yeah he's just saying there's
still hope for him optimus knows how
dangerous the guy is yes i do but i also
believe that he's rediscovering his true
identity as an autobot what just cause
he's got part of you inside him doesn't
change what he's done what makes you
think he's gonna i think he stopped
sky-bite from destroying that platform
because at least for that moment the
part of him that knew it was wrong was
in control maybe that's exactly what he
wants you to think what's that noise
someone's sending a transmission but i
can barely make it out because the
signal's on such a narrow bandwidth that
means the sender is probably trying to
keep this transmission a secret right
because the narrower the bandwidth the
harder it is to eavesdrop boost the
signal let's see what we've got in
octopus prime mega octane calling
optimus prime i request a meeting
tomorrow morning one on one i'll be
flying the white flag i want to talk not
fight downloading visual over and out
looks like they're sending a
topographical map uploading visual
display
so he wants to meet sequoia national
park are you thinking what i think
you're thinking it's a setup optimus
it's gotta be i think the decepticons
are confused and that this is a cry for
help i've gotta go huh
all right but if you're going then we're
going to no i'm going alone
if they're willing to make the first
move we can at least meet them halfway
[Music]
i'm sure this was the location but
there's no sign of him if he doesn't
show up soon
mega octane transform
you said you wanted to talk to me
i'm listening we decepticons have been
at w*r within ourselves fighting against
the evil megatron had planted within us
but now we've won that fight megatron is
no longer our master i see
go on we want to join you and help
protect the earth from the predacon
menace we want to be part of the autobot
team as we were meant to be your actions
prove otherwise you fought us at every
turn why should i believe you we know
now that what we did was wrong and we
apologize we'll do whatever we have to
do to prove our sincerity to show you
that we've regained our true autobot
identities does scourge feel the same
way of course then why isn't he here
he's your leader why send you unlike the
rest of us he takes his orders directly
from megatron if he weren't there
megatron would become suspicious i
understand when the right time comes
you'll all leave together
i knew it the deceptive concentrators
[Music]
everything is working perfectly megatron
optimus prime is convinced that we want
to join the autobots shall we proceed
with the next stage of the plan
very well we'll set up the next meeting
and play them for the suckers they are
sooner or later they'll trust us enough
to tell us everything we want to know
correct which means they'll also tell
you the secret location of their
headquarters which you shall then
obliterate
pretense and betrayal this is no plan
for our warrior once their monitoring
devices have been destroyed we'll be
able to steal energy from virtually
anywhere on earth giving us the power to
destroy them
[Music]
megatron's behind this sure is sh**ting
no matter what that decepticon told you
i don't think they are decepticons
anymore i think their sparks have
rejected megatron's evil influence and
that they're autobots like us
maybe but if you ask me this whole thing
smells like a steaming hog drop on a hot
day they might not have changed at all
until we know for sure we can't let our
guard down i agree there's no way to
know whether they're working for
megatron or not look we'll stay alert
and if they make a move against us we'll
handle it meanwhile i say we give them a
chance
well all right then on one condition one
condition what do you mean what do you
have in mind sideburn well the only way
to know what the real motives are is to
do some motivational research we'll give
them a test a test come on sideburn
we're not mind readers what are you
talking about
i've got a plan it's absolutely
foolproof
you really think these guys are gonna
show up don't worry they'll be here who
knows maybe being on our side really is
what they want
first let's find out if they can pass
the test
here they come now
they're right on time
they don't look very friendly to me calm
down little brother let's see what
they've got to say
[Music]
optimus prime told us we could join the
autobots if we could prove that we were
being truthful what would you have us do
not much you can start by cleaning up
this forest what we're warriors who
specialize in combat we know nothing
about menial castes like cleaning
look you want to convince us that your
autobots right well our primary mission
is to protect the earth in any way we
can and cleaning up the environment is
one of the most important
[Music]
spread out and clean the forest
yes sir
this is fun i'm not gonna miss one leaf
yeah i could do this all day long i just
love being outdoors especially in this
beautiful forest
and we're through this place we'll be as
clean as a whistle
happy yeah
help out well it sure sounds like
they're enjoying themselves yeah the
question is for how long
hey wait a second what's wrong sideburn
where are you going you can't leave now
oh no look
no wonder sideburn took off like that
talk about bad timing this could ruin
everything hey there little red sports
car wait for me
don't forget why we're here we shouldn't
be here in the first place we're
autobots now remember act like one if
you don't cool it you'll blow the whole
mission i knew his temper would be
trouble someone else should take command
until he learns to control someone like
you no of course not i wish they might
hear you it's great meeting another
nature lover beautiful forest huh i
think it's time we showed our new
friends that we're all on the same team
so let's help them clean up around here
including you sideburn me
you're kidding right careful there's
just a couple of leaves there
astonishingly cleaving the forest now i
know they're trailers
i got
if this is all an act they're pretty
good actors no kidding i'd say optimus
is already convinced they're for real i
think his connection with scourge is
clouding his judgment we gotta find a
way to make him see that they're phonies
not to worry boys by the time i'm
through with them they won't be able to
hide anything from anyone
keep moving keep moving no speeding obey
the traffic laws move along please you
there slow down
you mustn't ignore the traffic laws you
might get
hurt here's another one take it away
movor all right rotara i've got it
ah
i'm so glad we get to refill what we
destroyed before
yeah right save it pal the autobots are
too far away to hear you
man these guys are tough they're still
going strong i sure didn't expect them
to last this long maybe your plan wasn't
so foolproof after all
[Music]
gotta hand it to them they've been
working their tails off
maybe optimus was right all along what
well they've been at it all day and
completed every job we gave them right
yeah which is exactly what megatron
would have told them to do in order to
convince us that they're on our side
isn't that right sideburn
i've never seen a bunch of bots work so
hard all i know is that when something
seems too good to be true it usually is
what do you think of them now guys
i think they passed the test don't you
they didn't complain and did more in one
day than we could do in a week if it's
all right with optimus it's all right
with me we're going back on patrol
cleaning up this canal wasn't easy but
we did it it's sure hard work but
helping to beautify the city makes it
all worthwhile can the act with you guys
the autobots can't hear us down here
roll bar they could be monitoring us
right now let them
we're all tired scourge a little fresh
oil will fix you up here keep your oil
i've had it up to here with this
ridiculous plan i know i should never
have agreed to it and now i'm through
playing the fool it's time to att*ck no
i'm sure we've convinced him by now if
you don't control yourself you'll ruin
everything
you've proven yourselves to be autobots
you're welcome to join us
what serving the autobot cars will be an
honor and a privilege thank you optimus
no thanks necessary come on i'll take
you to our headquarters your secret face
that's right
the global space bridge is the only way
to get there
you see it worked yes optimus prime is
even bigger for me than i thought
this is my chance to show megatron that
i am his most loyal and valuable
follower i will destroy those traitors
and the leader of the autobots in one
fell swoop
well now what do we have here
decepticons consorting with the enemy oh
dear what a shame megatron will be so
disappointed that i had to destroy you
this is perfect if we blow that pest of
a predacon sky by the way optimus and
the autobots will believe anything we
tell them good thinking let's do it say
goodbye you traders
[Music]
[Music]
now we'll show you that the pentagons
are as much our enemy as they are yours
optimus especially that groveling
obnoxious secret sky bite mirage att*ck
well i'll deal with you later
come back here you coward
i didn't think the mechanic could ever
be able to fix my car after the b*ating
it took from those robots but now it's
running as good as new
no scourge wait
i've got to stop him flying fast
why did you get in my way without your
interference we would have eliminated a
dangerous enemy along with the driver of
that car are you willing to sacrifice a
human life for the sake of destroying a
predacon
of what consequence is the life of one
human when compared to an enemy's
destruction what did you say i apologize
for scourge he didn't mean it in the way
it sounded he's so eager to exterminate
the predacons that he gets carried away
enough this fast is over farce if he
means what i think he means no we had
him eating out of our oil pans and now
everything is ruined don't worry once
we've ripped optimus to pieces we'll
download the location of their base from
his data banks don't do this scourge
you're a fool optimus it was your own
need to believe in us that allowed us to
blindly do what we really are
the compassion spawned by your autobot
spark makes you vulnerable and weak and
that weakness will now be your undoing
on the contrary scourge compassion is
the autobot's greatest strength perhaps
i did allow my hope to cloud my judgment
but that mistake is about to be
corrected
calling autobots calling autobots this
is a battle protocol return to the canal
asap it turns out the decepticons are
still evil after all optimus is taking
on all six of them what did i tell you i
knew it was too good to be true the
decepticons are armed to the teeth if we
don't get there soon he's in big trouble
right pedals to the metal guys
battle mode
[Music]
let's see if you can fight as well as
you lie
what the raj att*cks
looks like we got here just in time
let's help him hold on look
[Music]
what is that that's the heat generated
by optimus's cyber matrix he's at
penultimate power
you chose to play a most dangerous game
but now the game ends you lose
[Music]
i've never seen optimus at full power
before he's incredible it looks like we
can sit this one out
enough scourge transform
until next time optimus
fight you cowards
after what's happened here i may never
be able to trust them
but megatron i caught them in the act
they were talking to optimists as if
they were old friends and then they
viciously att*cked me they're traitors i
tell you you brainless fool as usual
you've ruined
oh everything brainless is not painless
i owe you all an apology you tried to
warn me and i let you down i let my hope
and optimism about the decepticons
override my better judgment hey come on
those guys played their parts perfectly
heck even sideburn was convinced they
were on the up and up and nobody's
blaming you optimus right guys course
not it was my fault it was my idea to
test him and that gave them the perfect
opportunity to get us to trust them just
because we made a mistake doesn't mean
we should stop hoping that they'll
change we're with you big guy i
uh will wonders never cease optimus is
speechless guess there's a first time
for everything
thanks guys thanks a lot
hey he's talking again i knew it was too
good to be true
