- [Narrator]

Transformers, Energon.

- Transformers!

(gentle accoustic music)

- Go ahead, you're

clear to enter.

Hmm, who was that?

- Alexis!

- Sally!

(laughing)

- You look great, Sally.

- Well, thank you.

Boy, you know, I

thought I would never

get in here to see you

because of Demolisher standing

guard back at the entrance.

- That reminds me.

We have to round up

everyone for a meeting.

- What?

I thought we'd

have time together.

But I guess you have

tons of VIP work to do.

Oh, that's okay.

Hey, have you seen

my brother around?

- Yeah, sure.

He's around.

And he'll be at the meeting.

- He'll show up,

but I bet he won't listen

to anything you say.

- Huh?

- [Kicker] Oh, man.

I can't believe Dad made

this battle suit for me.

It's like, loaded with

everything I'll ever need.

And it fits perfect.

I'm ready for anything.

(alarm blaring)

(gasp)

- Oh, no!

We must be under attack again!

I got to hurry up and-- ahh!

Oww.

- [Announcer] Attention

all Ocean City residents.

Please assemble

immediately in Sector A.

- Is that it?

- Tidal Wave.

Tidal Wave.

- Look, that's Tidal Wave.

And what happened to him?

- [Hot Shot] I don't

know, but he sounds weird.

- Whoa, check him out!

- Zoom in.

- Tidal Wave.

Tidal Wave.

- They're eating energon.

- That's what it looks like.

- Kicker!

(somber music)

- What you have just witnessed

was the latest satellite

transmission we received

from Cyber City on Mars,

that was att*cked yesterday.

Obviously, those

Transformers were after

our energon, Optimus.

- Go on, Alexis.

- We scanned our database,

and we've deduced that our enemy

is a high-tech pack of

androids called Terrorcons,

but where they come

from precisely,

we still haven't been

able to pinpoint.

- And if that's the case,

then we can assume

their next target

will be the energon

mines here on Earth.

- And you'd be correct, but...

We have a serious problem,

because we're bound by the

Earth Federation Treaty.

Under Section F, it

states that Transformers

shall not take up arms

against other Transformers.

- [Kicker] You can't be serious!

- Huh?

(gasps)

- So what are we supposed to do?

Just sit back and watch?

- Cool it, Kicker.

- Kicker!

- Answer me!

- We have rules we must follow.

And while certain rules

sometimes don't make any sense,

we can't attack unless we

are under a serious threat.

To organize a first

strike as*ault

would clearly be a

violation of our treaty.

Sorry, Kicker.

- Oh, please, give

me a break, Alexis.

Don't you get it?

We're like sitting ducks

here, waiting to get--

Huh?

Hey, would you put

me down, Optimus?

(grunts) Come on, I'm serious!

- [Alexis] Unfortunately,

that leaves us

with only one clear cut option.

To evacuate immediately.

Otherwise, we can't

guarantee the safety

of anyone here on Earth.

- [Kicker] Forget it!

I'm not going anywhere,

'cause Earth is my home!

And I'll take on these

flying creeps myself!

- What's his problem?

- [Optimus] Alexis?

- Huh?

- Don't worry about Kicker.

He can stay behind

with my men and I.

(crowd murmuring)

- [Alexis] But Optimus!

- Trust me.

He'll be safe.

And we need him, because of

his ability to detect energon.

And I promise you, we will

not violate the treaty.

We are here to defend Earth,

not to attack our enemy.

- You're right.

I really doubt anyone

could ever convince Kicker

to leave here, Optimus.

- You know, I think you just

might be right about that.

- Hey, thanks a lot.

And you be careful.

- Right.

And as for you, you

better follow orders!

- You can't make me leave!

What did you say?

- I wonder if the Omnicons

are going to be evacuated.

- Don't worry about

them, Strongarm.

We've got enough

to keep us busy.

Now let's get back to work.

Come on!

- (sighs) I hate being a grunt.

(gentle acoustic music)

- [Kicker] I'm counting

on you to explain

why I'm not leaving

to my mom, Alexis.

- You stay out of

trouble, okay, Kicker?

- Don't worry about me.

Just go!

(wind blowing)

- Oh, man.

It's going to be

weird without them.

- [Ironhide] Okay,

Kicker, listen up.

Optimus gave me very strict

orders to keep an eye on you.

- Ah, give me a break.

- I don't like this any

better than you do, kid.

(phone beeps)

- Hey, are you listening?

- Whatever.

- [Optimus] Attention, men.

We are moving to

Defcon level four.

Repeat, Defcon level four.

We have not verified

the location

or the numbers of enemy troops

about to attack Cybertron City.

We do know they

are after energon.

All humans have been

successfully deployed

to safe shelters

outside the city.

That is all.

(dramatic music)

- [Mika] Did you

hear that, Kicker?

- [Kicker] Yeah, yeah.

But you know what?

I am so tired of speeches, Mika.

- I guess I'm

tired of them, too.

And that's why I'm staying

behind, just like you.

What do you think?

- No, you can't!

You got to get out

of here right now!

It's way too dangerous!

- [Mika] Don't worry

about me, Kicker.

I'll be all right, really.

(mechanical whirring)

- [Mika] Hello, Kicker?

Are you still there?

Kicker!

- Yeah, yeah, I'm still here.

You just be careful, okay, Mika?

- [Mika] I will, and you too.

- Humans.

Always getting so emotional.

What a complete waste of energy.

And what's even worse?

Optimus assigns me to guard one.

Hmph.

(militaristic music)

- [Ironhide] I should

be fighting the others.

But no.

I should be on Optimus's team.

But no.

I should have the

Spark of Combination

that Primus gave Optimus.

But no!

I got nothing!

But one day, I will.

Nah, who am I kidding?

I'm a low man on the totem

pole around this place.

- Hey, Ironhead, aren't you

supposed to be babysitting me?

(suspenseful music)

(spaceship engine roars)

(crazy laughter)

- Oh boy, I can hardly wait

for the battle to get started.

Will they hit here?

Or here?

Or here?

(crazy laughter)

I'm tingling all over!

(crazy laughter)

(explosions)

- Oh, no.

(Terrorcons whizzing by)

- (yells) Come and get it!

(laser g*ns firing)

(intense music)

- [Optimus] The moon?

I thought for sure their

next target would be Earth.

- Our moon base just

radioed for backup, Optimus.

- Jetfire, can I count on you?

- Yes sir.

Are you sure you have enough

firepower here on Earth?

- I think we'll be fine.

And use the space bridge,

it'll be faster than raising

the city for you to launch.

- Yes sir.

I'm on my way.

- Inferno, you provide cover

for Jetfire while he launches.

Just in case we come under fire.

- Right!

(militaristic music)

- [Kicker] Hey, hold up!

- Um, why did we tag along?

- Why, Ironhide?

- I want to earn my

Combination Spark,

so I can combine

with Hot Shot, sir.

- No!

And that's final,

understand, Ironhide?

I've teamed you up with Kicker.

- But sir!

- [Jetfire] No buts, pal.

You're on babysitting duty,

or don't you think

you can handle that?

- You think I'm a baby

that needs sitting?

Well, I'll show you

what I'm made of.

I'm going with you to

kick some Terrorcon butt!

- Optimus!

- (sighs) I just don't know

what to do with that kid.

Okay, he's all yours, Jetfire.

- You heard the dude!

Let's roll!

(engine roaring)

- All right.

Can't believe I got

that monkey off my back.

- Jetfire!

(grunting)

- And we have liftoff!

(triumphant music)

- [Optimus] All systems

go to elevate Cyber City.

(triumphant music)

- Activate space bridge.

(laser sh**ting)

- Huh?

- Well, it's time

to go, Ironhide.

- Right, sir.

- And if you do a

good job, buddy,

I'll make sure Optimus

knows about it.

- Are you serious, sir?

- Yeah.

- Oh, you don't know how

much I appreciate that, sir.

And I promise, I'll do my best.

- Hey, just relax.

Would you quit calling me sir?

We're moving out, Inferno!

- Roger that.

- [Optimus] Wait.

- Huh?

- I'm expecting something.

- But sir, they're waiting

for us on the moon.

- Never mind.

It's here.

(mechanical whirring)

- Huh?

What?

- [Inferno] You're bringing

the Omnicons with us, Optimus?

- Give me a break.

There's no way I'm going

anywhere near a battle.

- Instead, we brought

your newly processed

energon ships to

give you a boost.

- Serious?

- Don't move.

- Huh?

(energon sh**ting)

- What just happened to me?

(energon sh**ting)

- What's this?

- Those are energon cells.

- Well, let me put it

this way, Hot Shot.

We've just boosted

your power big time.

- (laughs) All right!

- But remember to

use it sparingly,

because it might not last

through an entire battle, 'kay?

- Okay, men.

Let's move out!

(intense music)

(exposions)

- [Jetfire] Yeah, baby!

Bull's eye!

- We got another

bogey at two o'clock.

(beeping)

(expl*si*n)

- [Kicker] And now we

got one on our tail!

Let's shake it, Jetfire!

- [Jetfire] Hang on!

(g*ns firing)

(explosions)

- Way to go, kid.

You're one wicked wingman!

- Yeah, but we can't hold

them off much longer.

Where's Optimus?

(g*ns firing)

(w*apon spins)

- Jetfire!

Incoming!

- [Jetfire] Whoa!

That was a close one.

- Huh?

Dive!

Come on, Jetfire,

get in the game!

(weapons spinning)

- Oh no!

Incoming from all sides!

(expl*si*n)

- Huh?

Sharp let, Jetfire, and

don't try anything fancy.

(beeping)

(expl*si*n)

- [Jetfire] Say goodbye!

(explosions)

- [Kicker] Looks like

we've got backup!

(zapping)

- [Optimus] Jetfire,

Kicker, give me an update.

- They've found the energon!

- [Jetfire] Optimus, we'll

handle the perimeter.

You head down and see if

you can save the energon.

- [Optimus] I'm on it.

(zapping)

(intense music)

- [Optimus] Hot Shot!

Ironhide!

Time to transform!

- Yes sir!

- Yes sir!

- Optimus Prime, transform!

(upbeat techno music)

- Hot Shot, transform!

- Ironhide, transform!

- They've taken a

serious beating, sir.

Huh?

(eerie techno music)

(small explosions)

- Aw man, that was close!

(g*n firing)

- They just keep on coming!

- Okay, men.

The energon mine

should be just ahead.

- I'll go, sir.

Cover me!

- All right, Ironhide,

but remember,

don't rely too heavily

on your energon.

And be careful!

- Yes sir!

(g*ns firing)

(panting)

- Give me your best shot,

you useless Terrorcons!

You can't stop me!

(screams)

Okay, maybe I take that back.

(intense music)

- This is it.

Boy, what a mess.

Hm?

This has got to be

the elevator shaft.

(grunts)

Well, I guess it's now or never.

(yells)

(beams crashing)

(Terrorcon roars)

- Sorry, boys, but

you're trespassing!

Hey!

Another step and

you get blasted!

(yelling)

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

(yells)

(expl*si*n)

- Huh?

Hot Shot!

I've used all my energon.

- I'm tapped too, sir.

This doesn't look good.

Optimus!

It's Jetfire and Kicker!

- [Kicker] Hey, guys!

Doesn't look like there's

too many of them out here.

- What about below the surface?

- No clue.

But I'm going to find out.

- Right behind you.

(yells)

- You pint-sized pains

are getting on my nerves!

And even if I'm out of

energon, you're going down!

Now, who wants a

piece of me, huh?

- What the?

No, Ironhide!

Don't do it!

Don't touch it!

- Huh?

(screams)

- That was dumb.

He knows he can't handle

energon before it's refined.

Ironhide!

(expl*si*n)

(suspenseful music)

- Ironhide!

Are you all right?

- What?

Yeah, he's fine, thanks to me.

- (sighs) That's a relief.

(Terrorcons growling)

- I got 'em!

You're not going

anywhere, creeps!

- Ironhide, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine, Hot Shot.

I just had a little accident.

(gasp)

(Terrorcons growling)

- Huh?

Oh no!

They're coming out

of the woodwork!

(g*ns firing)

- Aw, man!

They got away.

(zapping)

- Transform!

(hatch opening)

- Just hang in there,

okay, Ironhide?

- It's all my fault

we lost the battle.

- It's nobody's fault.

Now get that through

your head, understand?

- Thanks, Hot Shot, but I

know I screwed up the mission,

and I can't help but blame-

- Aw, would you

chill out already?

- How could I have

been such an idiot

and touched the

energon like that

without even thinking first?

- Yeah, well, you work that out.

- [Optimus] Kicker!

- What?

- I ordered you to

team up with Ironhide.

Or did you forget that?

- Aw, give me a break.

- If you want to

ignore my orders,

then I have no choice but to

send you back to your mother.

- You wouldn't!

- Try me.

- Okay, partners, I'll

go talk to him then.

- So, how's it going, big guy?

- Did you just kick me, huh?

How'd you like it

- You got a problem with that?

if I kicked you back?

(growling)

- Well it looks like

you're back to normal.

- You're going to pay for this!

(laughing)

- Okay, I've had just

about enough of you, kid!

(Ironhide and Kicker yelling)

- [Optimus] Well,

it looks like things

are back to normal again.

- [Demolisher] So, Optimus,

what happened on the moon?

- Huh?

- If I were you Demolisher,

I'd show a little more

respect to your leader.

- Sorry, but you're still

Autobots to me, Jetfire.

Cyclonus was

working on the moon.

What's his status, Optimus?

- We never saw him.

- What?

Serious?

You mean to say there was no

trace of him or Tidal Wave?

- To be honest, we

never had a chance

to search for them, Demolisher.

- No way.

We've got to go back.

- Hang on a minute.

- What is it, sir?

- Nothing.

- [Alpha Q] So, what is it

that Optimus Prime is thinking?

A penny for your

thought, Autobot.

I think I know!

Maybe he's starting

to smell the stench

of a great Decepticon

army rising from the ashes

to challenge his authority!

(maniacal laughter)

But do not let me

get ahead of myself.

He still has a new

enemy to deal with.

An enemy so powerful it

will make the Decepticons

look like mere

children's playthings.

(growl)

Allow me to introduce you

to your new adversary,

Optimus Prime.

An entity so powerful, you

won't know what hit you!

Oh, joy!

I can hardly wait for

the games to begin!
