01x15 - Gale

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR:

The w*r between the Autobots

and the Decepticons rages on

as they struggle to retrieve

the prized Mini-Cons.

The side who wins is the side

that collects the most.

And if the Decepticons

prove victorious,

then Megatron

and his corrupt Mini-Cons

control the universe.

The Earth's only chance

for a peaceful cosmos

is for Optimus Prime

and the Autobots

to destroy their enemy.

Now get ready

for a new battle.

♪ Transformers ♪

RAD:

Ah, life in the big city,

where every day

there's another traffic jam

or a Decepticon

causing trouble.

And that's exactly

what happened

just outside our city

on the mountain freeway.

Wait till you see

what happens next.

( upbeat theme playing )

♪ Transformers ♪

( grunting )

( both grunting )

My Star Saber

is undefeatable.

( grunting )

This isn't over yet,

Scavenger.

Totally awesome.



Wicked cool.

And I'll bet

you didn't realize

that sword is the most powerful

of its kind in the universe.

FRED:

So I guess

that makes Hot Shot

the most powerful Transformer

in the universe, right?

Hmm, I don't know

about that.

Of course it does, Carlos.

Ha, ha, ha.

You're absolutely right, Billy.

And if I keep working at this,

I'll be numero uno.

Hot Shot, we've got work to do.

Let's move out.

Oh, yeah, right.

Especially since Scavenger

joined up with the Decepticons.

Remember?



( sighs )

Yeah. But don't you worry,

I'll get even.

Possessing the Star Saber sword

is useless

unless you're able to maximize

its full power.

Would you get off my back,

Red Alert.

I've got things

under control.

Yeah, we've been watching him

practice and he's pretty smooth.

And don't forget,

we're here for backup, okay?

That includes me.



Hey, and don't forget me.

Hey, that's

really nice of you guys.

It's good to know I've got you

all covering my back.

But I've got a score

to settle with Scavenger.

RAD:

We all knew

it was kind of lame

offering to back up

Hot Shot.

I mean,

we're just a couple of kids,

and he is one of the greatest

warriors in the universe.

I guess it's the thought

that counts.

( alarm blaring )

OPTIMUS:

Alexis, coordinates. Stat!

ALEXIS:

It's coming

from Grid Sector .

Ah! The signal

is from the freeway tunnel.



What?

HOT SHOT:

Looks like we're back

in business, Autobots.

SMOKESCREEN:

Ha-ha-ha. Yeah!

Mini-Con, here we come!

Heh. So is my backup ready?



FRED: Yeah! All right!

Hey, you guys,

where do you think you're going?

We promised Hot Shot

that we'd cover him

in battle, Alexis.

A promise is a promise.

But you're just gonna

get in the way.

Come on.



Hot Shot needs us.

They're just coming along

for moral support.

Well, I guess

she does have a point.

Well, what do you think,

Red Alert?

Mm-hmm.



It's settled then.

They can come along,

but, Hot Shot,

they're your responsibility,

understand?

HOT SHOT: Yes, sir!



Now let's roll.

ALL:

All right!

I've got a bad feeling

about this.

DEMOLISHER:

This is the most

useless assignment

I have ever been ordered

to carry out.

Ha. Stand guard

over a deserted tunnel.

CYCLONUS:

Aw, quit your bellyaching.

( upbeat theme playing )

( whirs )

What the--?

Are you sensing Autobots?

You better be right

this time.

( Blackout chirping )

Cyclonus! Get ready!

We're about to have visitors.

And here they come now.

You know what to do,

Cyclonus.

Would you relax,

Demolisher?

( tires screeching )

( Megatron chuckling )

Lucky for us Scavenger is here

to do all the digging.

Don't you think, Starscream?

Otherwise you'd be in there

getting your hands dirty.

Right.

There's no way

you'd catch me

playing in the dirt like that.

SCAVENGER:

If I had known

I'd be the only one

doing all the work

down here,

I never would have left

Cybertron.

Ah, yes, but think

about the reward

that awaits you, Scavenger.

Your very own

personal Mini-Con.

DEMOLISHER:

Megatron, bad news!

The Autobots are closing in,

and fast!

Keep them busy!

SCAVENGER:

Now I can take care of

a little unfinished business.

No!

You keeping digging, Scavenger.

We mustn't let anything

get in the way of our mission.

Transform!

( Cyclonus laughing )

CYCLONUS:

That should keep those loser

Autobots busy for a while.

( Cyclonus laughing )

RED ALERT:

Gridlock dead ahead, sir.

HOT SHOT:

And look! It's Cyclonus!

SMOKESCREEN:

That means we must be close.

It also means the Decepticons

haven't found the Mini-Con yet.

And wouldn't you know it,

a traffic jam.

Don't worry, Optimus,

I've got an idea.

Jolt, powerlink!

OPTIMUS:

On your guard, Hot Shot.

HOT SHOT:

Don't worry about me.

I can take care of myself.

I've been waiting for you,

Hot Shot.

OPTIMUS:

Billy, Fred.

Sorry,

but it looks like things

may start to get

a little dangerous out here.

I think it's best if you

stay put up here for a while.

Aw, gee whiz.

( grunts )

BILLY:

But I thought

we were backup.

Yeah, well,

you can back us up from here.

Oh, and stay put.

Boy, this really bites

bigtime.

Well, I told you we should have

gone with Hot Shot.

But, no, you wouldn't listen,

would you, doofus.

BILLY & FRED:

Huh?

SIDEWAYS:

You looking to hitch a ride?

I've got room for one,

but that's it.

Hey, B-Billy,

that bike--

Talked to us.

Wait a sec.

Autobot or Decepticon?

CYCLONUS ( snickering ):

Oh, goody-goody!

HOT SHOT:

You're going down, Cyclonus!

( suspenseful theme playing )

Hey, Hot Shot, are you sure

you know what you're doing?

Don't sweat it.

We're riding with the number one

Transformer, remember?

ALEXIS: Watch out behind you!



Hmm?

ALEXIS:

You've got company, guys.

Hot Shot!



HOT SHOT: I see him.

No problem, I got it covered.

Well, do something

and do it quick.

He's gaining on us.



HOT SHOT: I'm on it.

Transform!

Transform!

( suspenseful theme

continues playing )

HOT SHOT:

Star Saber!

Your battling days are over!

Ha, ha. I like a bot

with a sense of humor.

CARLOS:

Uh, don't look now, Rad,

but any minute this whole place

is gonna be littered

in chunks of titanium.

( grunting )

What's the matter?

Are you afraid of me?

Or are the batteries going dead

in that little sword of yours?

( beeping )



ALEXIS: Rad! Come in, Rad!

Huh?

Alexis. Hey, what's up?

ALEXIS:

Tell me what's going on

out there.

We got us a Transformer

showdown.

Go for it!



OPTIMUS: Rad, transmit visuals.

Right.

I hope you're getting this.

OPTIMUS:

Yes,

but I don't like what I see.

ALEXIS:

Rad, link in Red Alert

to your video feed, stat.

RED ALERT:

Got it.

CARLOS:

Come on, Hot Shot! Smoke him!

How come

they're just standing there?

SMOKESCREEN:

Good question.

SMOKESCREEN: Look!



Oh, no, what'd I do now?

SMOKESCREEN:

Optimus, there's the tunnel

dead ahead, sir.

OPTIMUS:

I see it. All right.

Red Alert, Smokescreen,

follow me.

We're going in.

RED ALERT: We have a problem.



OPTIMUS: Hot Shot!

RED ALERT:

A Decepticon

is locked on to him.

And it's Cyclonus!

OPTIMUS:

Hot Shot, listen up.

Retreat at once.

( Cyclonus laughing )

CYCLONUS:

Oh, joy!

This is as easy

as sh**ting bots in a barrel.

( Cyclonus laughing )

Heads up, Hot Shot!



Hey! He's right behind you!

I know, I know.

But there's no way

I'm gonna turn my back

on Scavenger.

( snickering )

CYCLONUS:

You're history! Ha-ha-ha!

( Scavenger gasps

then Hot Shot grunts )

You idiot!

That Autobot was mine!

Unh!

Hot Shot, no!

All I can say is

I'm glad he's a lousy shot.

BILLY:

Somebody, please, help me!

Huh?

BILLY:

Help! I'm being kidnapped! Help!

( whimpering )

Billy!



( grunts )

Now what?

Can't I destroy him in peace?

( Scavenger grunts )

He's a Transformer,

but I don't know

if he's a good guy or bad!

So, what do we do?

OPTIMUS:

Hmm, a motorcycle, eh?

That's strange.

I wish I had an answer

for you, Rad,

but I don't recall a Transformer

like that.

But right now our priority

is retrieving that Mini-Con.

Grindor, Sureshock, High Wire,

stay here with the kids.

( Mini-Cons beeping )

Come on.

Let's follow them, guys.

( beeping )

( panting )

Save me.



RAD: Yeah, right.

Who's bright idea was it

to get on that bike anyway?

It wasn't my idea, I swear.

So, what happened to Fred?

BILLY:

Fred? Oh, no.

I left him back

at the bridge.

Billy?

Man, whose side is he on?

Now what's going on here?

Huh?

CYCLONUS:

Ah, a moving target.

Ooh! I love moving targets.

( Cyclonus laughing )

Time to short circuit that

annoying little buzz rocket.

( suspenseful theme playing )

CYCLONUS:

You gotta be kidding.

( Cyclonus groaning )

I'm hit! I'm hit!

And I'm going down!

( Cyclonus screaming )

( engine revving )

Well, that takes care of him.

Now, where was I? Oh, yeah.

It's just you and me,

Scavenger!

Yeah! You show him

who's boss, Hot Shot!

ALEXIS:

Hey, guys, fill me in.

How about a status report.



ALL: Huh?

Oh, and I brought our Mini-cons

just in case.

Uh, yeah, and thanks a lot

for ditching me back there.

Try it again,

and you guys are history!

( screaming )

Bring it on!

Unh!

Hey, what are you doing?

( both grunting )

That moves getting old,

Scavenger.

SCAVENGER:

Then how about this one?

( both grunting )

( Hot Shot groans)

Was that move a little more

original for you?

( grunts )

Why, you...

( chuckling )

Having fun yet?

Now, hand over

your toy sword, soldier.

CARLOS:

Are you okay, Hot Shot?

RAD:

Come on, please, say something.

( suspenseful theme playing )

What's the deal

with that motorcycle?

It's like the only thing

he's interested in

is Hot Shot's battle.

Yeah, it's weird.

And it doesn't make

any sense.

RAD:

Come on, Hot Shot.

Don't let that oversized CPU

scare you.

I've gotta think

of something. Huh?

That's it!

( grunting )

Transform!

Hey, come back here!

Transform!

Come on! Remember,

we're still his backup.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Ha-ha-ha. You can run

until your circuits overheat,

but you can't hide.



HOT SHOT: Oh, you think so, huh?

Well, give it your best shot,

scuzzy breath!

FRED:

Hello?

Rad? Carlos? Billy?

Anyone?

Hey, they heard me.

I guess

they must need my help now.

Hey, guys, it's me!

Over here!

( tires screeching )

FRED:

Hey, wait, where you going?

( whimpering )

Remember me?

I'm Billy's friend!

( grunting )

I warned you

not to get in my way!

MEGATRON:

Put your back into it,

Demolisher,

and dig out that Mini-Con!

I'm trying! I'm trying!

Enough of your insolence,

you pathetic overgrown excuse

for a warrior.

Oh, I really hate it

when he yells at me like that.

You will never get past me,

Autobots!

( grunting )

We'll see about that.

( both grunting )



HOT SHOT: Coming through!

Hot Shot!



HOT SHOT: Don't worry, Optimus.

I'm just causing

a little diversion.

RED ALERT: You need any help?



HOT SHOT: Help?

HOT SHOT:

Hey, who's got the sword

around here?

Oh, now what? Unh!

Do I have to do everything

around here myself?

Cyclonus! Return

to your post immediately!

HOT SHOT:

That's it, keep following me.

Transform!

I'm counting on you, Jolt!

( beeping )

( suspenseful theme playing )

SCAVENGER:

Wait a minute.

Where did he disappear to?

Uh-oh,

I think I smell a bot.

( rumbling )



What the--?

♪ Transformers ♪

Hello! Ugh!

♪ Transformers ♪



I don't think

that's too good

for the blade, Hot Shot.

Watch this!

( grunting )

( screaming )

( screaming )

Transform!

Hey, let go, you idiot!

You'll destroy us both!

( both grunting )

Ugh!

( grunting )

( Hot Shot chuckles )

You know,

for a great warrior,

you're not half as tough

as you think you are.

So just keep out of my way

or else.

( chuckles )

HOT SHOT:

What's so funny?

I was laughing

at your incompetence.

You may have won

this little skirmish,

but you're still

a rank amateur.

So don't let this victory

swell up your power core,

because I'm not finished

with you yet.

Hide behind your little sword,

but remember this.

You don't have what it takes

to use it to its full potential.

Oh, yeah?



You're just a waste of wires.

( Scavenger laughing )

( grunting )

Ugh! Hey, come back here!

( dramatic theme playing )

( chuckling )

He sure told you, didn't he?

( laughing )

You know, for someone

who's afraid to show himself,

you sure think you're pretty

tough, don't you, punk?

I'd sure like to show you

a thing or two.

But the problem is

I'm on your side,

and I wouldn't wanna

beat you.

( thinking ):

Oh, man,

what's the story with this guy?

MEGATRON:

Any word yet from Scavenger

or Cyclonus

as to their whereabouts?

DEMOLISHER:

No, sir, not yet.

Because of those two bots,

we'll have to retreat.



DEMOLISHER: But, sir--

So then, you haven't had

enough digging yet?

Well, maybe we should withdraw.

MEGATRON:

We'll meet again, Optimus Prime.

OPTIMUS:

Stop!

Go ahead and run, Megatron.

But the day will come

when there will be no place

to hide from the Autobots.

RAD:

Optimus! Over here!

Is everybody okay?

I was really starting to get

a little worried about you guys.

Oh, I suppose

you're gonna tell everyone

you defeated Scavenger

all by yourself, huh?

Uh...

( upbeat theme playing )

( chuckling )

OPTIMUS:

It seems

we owe you one, friend.

But first,

who exactly are you anyway?

Transform!

( upbeat theme playing )

Back on Cybertron,

they call me Sideways.

I guess I'm a bit

of a drifter.

Maybe that's why I'm here.

SMOKESCREEN:

Optimus, sir!

I've found the Mini-Con!

Whoa, check it out.

Cool.

This is so incredible.

( all gasping )

( beeping )

( gasps )

( thinking ):

There's something strange

about Sideways.

( upbeat theme playing )

BILLY:

Whoa!

How come Billy gets to ride

all the time?

BILLY:

This rocket rocks!

Hey, Optimus said we're supposed

to be taking turns, you know!

Aw, man,

this really stinks bigtime.

( Mini-Con beeping )



Huh?

The Mini-Con said

he'd take you for a ride.

Yeah? Seriously?

Okay, transform into something

super cool, all right?

Boy, just when you think

you've got a fan club,

they up and leave you

high and dry.

Oh, don't worry, Hot Shot.

You must remember

they're only human.

And probably

in a couple of days or so,

they'll be

all over you again.

Hey, Red Alert, you think

Sideways is on our side or what?

I'm not sure.

But we've got much bigger things

to worry about than that.

Remember, everything

becomes clearer with time.

( dramatic theme playing )

Hey, how come you're not

outside with Sideways?

Hmm. There's something

about him that bugs me.

I hate to admit it, Rad,

but I'm getting the same vibe.

I guess I'm a bit of drifter,

and maybe that's why I'm here.

Why would a drifter

wanna come all the way to Earth

and get involved in a w*r?



No idea.

Well, I think we should

keep this to ourselves,

and I hope we're wrong.

But let's keep our eyes peeled

just in case.

You having fun, Fred?

Just remember,

it's my turn next, okay?

Hey, Carlos, if you really want,

you can have my turn.

Where's the bathroom?

RAD:

It seems every day

our side is growing,

which is good news

for the Autobots.

Yet I still can't shake

the feeling

that not everyone on our team

can be trusted.

But is it just a feeling?
