(eerie music)
- [Inferno] For the
life of me, Ironhide,
I just can't figure
that kid out.
- [Inferno] Take
it easy, Inferno.
- [Optimus] What's up man?
- [Ironhide] Uh, Optimus, sir?
It's Kicker, he's
out riding his bike
like a wild-man, again.
- Ah, I don't think it's
a big deal, Optimus, sir.
He's just blowing off
steam, as the humans say.
- I understand that,
but there's something that's
just not right about it.
- Exactly what's wrong?
- [Optimus] Hmm.
- [Ironhide] It's
hard to explain,
but he seems kind of agitated,
and when that happens,
it usually means he senses
something, or someone.
I know I might be
worried for nothing,
but I think we should
keep an eye on him, sir.
- Something isn't right, here.
(Kicker gasps)
Hmm, company's on it's way!
(tire screeches)
Ever since I was a kid,
I realized I had
some kind of ESP.
And right now, it
was working overtime.
- [Starscream] I'm
looking for you, Optimus,
and I will find you!
And when I do, I'm sure
you'll be very surprised
to see me.
Now, where are you
hiding, Prime?!
- Halt, who goes there?
Quit jokin' around, Demolisher.
- [Starscream] My
mission is to seek out,
and destroy you, Optimus.
- Boy, I must be hearing things.
I could have sworn that I heard
somebody talking out here.
Man, I must be losing it.
Huh, what is going
on around here?
(tires screeching)
- [Kicker] Whoever it
was, was just here.
- Hey Kicker, what are you doing
at this end of the building?
- [Kicker] Call me
crazy, Ironhide,
but did you see
anybody come this way?
- No, I didn't see
anybody, but I am positive
that I heard a voice,
and some footsteps.
- [Kicker] It's him!
He's gonna go after Optimus!
- It's who?
What are you talking about?
Transform!
Come on, Kicker!
We gotta warn Optimus!
- [Kicker] So where is the
big guy, in HQ central ops?
- [Ironhide] Yeah.
- [Kicker] That's a relief,
that means he's not alone.
- [Ironhide] Well,
let's just hope so.
- [Kicker] What?!
Come on, we got to step on it!
(dramatic music)
- [Starscream] It's
only a matter of time
until I find you, Prime.
- So, the bartender
says to the mule,
"Why the long face?"
(laughing)
No matter how many
times I tell that joke,
it never gets old.
- [Signal Flare] Huh?
- Did you just sense something?
- [Signal Flare]
I thought I did?
But maybe I just got a
whiff of some Energon.
- You're right, maybe that's it.
Whew, for a minute there,
I had the feeling we
were being watched!
- [Signal Flare] See,
what'd I tell you? (laughs)
- [Skyblast] I guess working
- refining Energon
has started playing tricks
with my circuits. (laughs)
- [Starscream] Where are
you hiding, Optimus Prime?
Huh?
- [Red Alpha Q] Where is he?
I don't see anyone!
Would someone please
explain what I'm supposed
to be looking at?
- [Green Alpha Q] We've
created the new Starscream,
but he is without form.
- [White Alpha Q] Yes, a
warrior who is impervious
to any physical
attack! (chuckles)
- [Green Alpha Q] And,
I am quite pleased
with our end-result.
- [Starscream] Who are you?
And what do you want of me?
- [Green Alpha Q] We are
your masters, Starscream.
- [White Alpha Q] And
you may call us Alpha Q!
- [Starscream] My
master, Alpha Q!
- [White Alpha Q]
Precise-a-mundo,
my blurry friend!
And we brought you back to life
as our personal warrior,
to destroy Optimus!
- [Starscream] You want me
to destroy Optimus Prime?
- [Green Alpha Q] Yes,
because he hordes all
of the Energon for himself.
- [Starscream] Energon?
- [White Alpha Q] Energon
is the fuel we require
to revive the great Unicron.
It is essential!
It's what we used
to rejuvenate you!
- [Starscream] This is
all too confusing, to me.
- [Green Alpha Q] Take a
look at yourself, Starscream.
- Huh?
What?
What do you mean?
- [Green Alpha Q] We
ran out of Energon
when you revived you,
so your physical
form is incomplete.
- [White Alpha Q] But,
if you eliminate Optimus,
all the Energon in the
universe will be ours!
And you shall be made whole
again, Starscream! (chuckles)
- [Green Alpha Q] Now go,
and carry out your
mission, soldier.
- [Red Alpha Q] Put
him out of his misery,
annihilate him, Starscream!
- [Starscream] I can't
exist in this form.
I must destroy Optimus
and become complete!
I must have Energon,
for myself, and Unicron!
(upbeat electronic music)
- [Kicker] Up ahead,
Ironhide, that's it!
Blast him!
- Yeah, but what am I
sh**ting at, Kicker?
- [Kicker] Nevermind,
just keep firing!
- [Optimus] Huh?
- [Starscream] What the, huh?
- [Optimus] Who's there?
(Optimus groans)
There's no one there?
- [Ironhide] Ah, I'm
just wasting a*mo!
- [Kicker] Over there!
- But there's,
there's nothing there!
(Kicker moans)
Huh?
What's going on?
- [Kicker] That's him!
- [Starscream] That
kid, he can sense me!
- [Jetfire] What, no way!
What do you mean our
security's been breached?
- [Inferno] That's impossible,
there's now way anyone
could get in here without
tripping an alarm.
- [Ironhide] Well, this
is different, Inferno.
Our not-so-friendly
intruder's totally invisible.
- Are you sure, Ironhide?
- %, Kicker can back me up.
- Ah, I'm getting a
bad feeling about this.
- [Jetfire] Well if you ask
me, I'd say we put a guard
on Optimus around the clock.
- [Optimus] That's not
necessary, Jetfire.
I can look after myself.
Besides, we must keep focused
on protecting our
Energon supply.
- You can't be serious, Optimus?
He almost got you once, already.
- [Optimus] Our priority is
to extract and store Energon!
And, to ensure that it doesn't
fall into the wrong hands!
- I don't believe this,
who does he think he is?
- Can it, Kicker!
You don't give the
orders around here!
- Yeah, well he might
be dishin' 'em out,
but I'm gonna be following him.
- [Ironhide] Get
back here, Kicker!
- Let him go.
- Huh?
- [Optimus] He's made
up his mind, Ironhide.
(Ironhide groans)
(seagulls cawing)
- [Kicker] Okay, let's
sync-up our communicators.
- Oh yeah, all right.
Hey, are you sensing
anything right now?
- It comes and goes,
but one thing I do know
for sure, whoever
or whatever it is
is still moving
around Ocean City.
- [Hot Shot] Kicker,
Ironhide, this is Hot Shot.
Can you read me?
- [Ironhide] Yes sir!
Read you loud and clear, sir.
- [Kicker] What's up, Hot Shot?
Did something happen to Optimus?
- [Hot Shot] Relax, he's fine.
He just left central ops,
and is now headed for area C.
- [Kicker] Roger
that, and don't worry,
Ironhide and I will tail.
- [Hot Shot] Good, but just
remember, stay in stealth mode.
I don't want him to know
we're shadowing him.
(footsteps thudding)
- [Optimus] I sure wish
they'd quit watching me,
and concentrate on
their real jobs.
Huh?
Hot Shot, get back to work!
- But Optimus, sir,
I wasn't tailing you,
I had to go this way.
I had to deliver some
mother boards to sector C.
- [Optimus Don't give me that!
Now get back to your post, stat!
- No, I can't let
you go unprotected.
- [Optimus] Hot Shot, I've
been at this game far too long
to need a babysitter.
Now, when someone is after me,
I'll deal with it, and you
should deal with your duty!
Now go!
- Hmm.
Sorry guys, but I blew
my cover, he spotted me.
- [Kicker] Hey, don't
sweat it, Hot Shot.
We'll take it from here.
- [Ironhide] So where's
he going, anyway?
- [Kicker] My best
guess is he's heading
for Energon mine .
Attention all mine
guards, this is Kicker!
Optimus is headed for mine !
Stay on your toes!
- [Hot Shot] Copy that!
I'll hang back,
but if you need me,
I'll be right there
for backup, over.
(footsteps thudding)
- [Optimus] Hmm.
(Optimus groans)
Huh?
This is Optimus Prime, if
there's someone out there
who wants to challenge
me, then show yourself!
I have little time or
patience for games,
so if you have something
to say to me, do it now.
- [Kicker] Whoa, very cool.
I got to admit, he's got guts.
Huh?
He's out there, I can feel it.
Optimus, get down!
- [Optimus] Huh?
What's he doing here?
Huh?
- [Kicker] Optimus is under
heavy fire in sector C!
(panting)
- [Ironhide] What, where?
- [Hot Shot] Just
fire at anything!
- [Ironhide] Right!
- [Jetfire] Where is it,
I don't see anything?
- Oh man, now where'd he go?
- [Hot Shot] I wish I knew.
- [Kicker] He's still up there.
Come on, we got to blast him!
More to the right,
and aim higher!
Oh no!
(Kicker grunts)
- [Optimus] Kicker, I'm coming!
Kicker, are you all right?!
- [Kicker] Don't worry
about me, Optimus.
It's you he's after!
(Kicker grunting)
(rocks clattering)
- [Optimus] Hm, I don't
know what to do with you.
I told you, I don't
have time for this!
It's me you want!
Now come and get me, you coward!
Okay, that's it, keep coming.
It's time to find
out who you are!
(seagulls cawing)
- [Jetfire] What happened?
Where's Optimus?
- [Ironhide] I don't know!
He just disappeared.
- [Jetfire] Yeah but where
could he have gone to?
- [Hot Shot] I've got a feeling
he's left to settle this.
- [Jetfire] But...
(dramatic music)
- [Inferno] Hmm?
- [Jetfire] Look, a spacebridge.
- [Kicker] Heads
up, coming through!
Yee-hoo-hoo!
- [Ironhide] No, Kicker!
Come back!
- [Jetfire] Hurry, Inferno.
Get the coordinates
of that spacebridge.
We're running out of time.
- I'm on it, Jetfire!
(engine revs)
- [Kicker] Oh, man,
I've gotta step on it
if I'm going to make it through!
- [Jetfire] I'm coming, Optimus!
(groaning)
- [Kicker] We're too late!
- [Inferno] They're headed
straight for Lunar City!
(Kicker grunts)
- [Jetfire] This is it,
boys, set coordinates
for Lunar City, and
stay on my tail.
- [Hot Shot] Right
behind you, Jetfire!
- [Jetfire] All right,
prepare to launch, gentlemen!
- [Kicker] Come on, let's
get this show on the road!
(dramatic orchestral music)
- [Autobot] You're
saying Optimus came here?
- [Kicker] Yeah, he came
through a spacebridge
like two minutes ago.
- [Autobot] Sorry guys,
but it's news to me.
- [Kicker] Oh,
this is just great.
- [Jetfire] Optimus,
come in, Optimus.
Man, he turned off
his communicator.
Now we'll never be
able to hone in on him.
- [Kicker] That's because
he doesn't want us
to get in the way.
- [Jetfire] You're right.
- [Ironhide] But
we've got to find him.
(alarm blaring)
(shrill screeching)
- [Cyclonus] I don't
get it, Megatron,
how could those idiot Autobots
figure out Optimus was here?
Huh?
- Maybe they're not as
idiotic as you, Cyclonus.
- Hey, I just asked a question.
Can you cut me a
little slack, Megatron?
- Enough horsing
around, find Optimus,
and find that mindless menace
before those Autobots do!
(ominous orchestral music)
- [Scorponok] I get the
impression that Megatron
has doubts about your
loyalty, Demolisher.
- He wanted me to stand guard,
and that's exactly what
I am doing, Scorponok.
- Up until yesterday, you
stood guard for the Autobots,
that in itself would
cast doubt upon you.
- Ah come on, you
can't be serious.
- [Scorponok] Relax, I was
just having some fun with you.
Now, lets' try and
get along, Demolisher.
That would be the
mature thing to do.
- Why don't you go,
and leave me alone?
(Scorponok chuckles)
- [Hot sh*ts] Terrorcons.
They're in attack mode, again.
We'd better beef-up
our defenses.
(dramatic music)
- [Skyblast] So, Hot
Shot, you called?
- [Signal Flare] What's up?
- Thanks for coming.
Okay men, I need
some Energon stars
that I can take to
Lunar City, and fast.
- Well, what exactly
do you mean by fast?
- [Signal Flare] I'm
all for working hard,
but maybe the next
shift could take it?
- [Hot Shot] I need them now!
- It's too dangerous
to go alone!
I'm coming too!
- No, Inferno!
I'm putting you in
charge down here.
- Boy, just my dumb luck.
(shrieking)
- [Kicker] This is
driving me nuts!
Why isn't Hot Shot letting
us help out Optimus?
- [Optimus] How long
are you gonna keep
this mindless game up?
Show yourself, coward!
And let's settle
this, one on one!
Huh?
What?
Copter- , launch!
- [Starscream] (chuckles)
Your toys are useless!
- [Optimus] Who sent
you to destroy me?
Was it Megatron?
- [Starscream] Hmm, that
name does ring a bell.
(Optimus groans)
- [Hot Shot] Hot
Shot, transform!
(upbeat techno music)
(explosions rumbling)
- [Optimus] Hot Shot,
what are you doing here?
You're mine!
- [Starscream] Huh?
- [Optimus] Why
are you after me?
- [Starscream] To
revive Unicron!
- [Optimus] Unicron?!
(Optimus groaning)
Optimus Prime, super mode!
(explosions rumbling)
(grunting)
- [Jetfire] There's
no time to waste,
we gotta find Optimus!
- [Kicker] Then follow me, guys.
- Hang on a minute, Kicker,
I think you might need this!
(Kicker grunts)
- [Kicker] Ironhide, I
need your Energon saber.
It's my only chance
to put up a fight!
- [Ironhide] You wanna what?
But I just got it, Kicker!
(fierce growling)
- [Kicker] Nevermind, I'll
make do with this one.
- [Cyclonus] Ah, Megatron,
trying to find Optimus
is a total waste of time!
- Scorponok will pay for this.
Where are those Autobots headed?
- [Optimus] So, did your orders
come directly from Unicron?
- [Starscream] My
mission is to seek out
and destroy you, Optimus.
- [Optimus] As long as there's
a spark in my circuit-board,
you'll never get enough
Energon to revive Unicron!
- Hmph.
We're in luck, men.
I just found Prime.
- [Kicker] Come on, guys,
we gotta step on it!
(Cyclonus laughing)
- Time to snag some Energon!
(laughs maniacally)
(expl*si*n rumbles)
(roaring)
(grunting)
- [Jetfire] Ironhide, we're
just wasting a*mo, here.
I say it's time to combine.
- [Ironhide] Let's do it!
- [Jetfire] Jetfire!
(upbeat techno music)
- [Ironhide] Ironhide!
- [Both] Powerlink!
- [Jetfire] Attack!
- [Optimus] Anyone who fights
under Unicron's command
is my sworn enemy, and
I will destroy them!
(Megatron laughs)
(expl*si*n rumbles)
(Optimus moans)
- All right!
Who's responsible?
What, who are you?
- [White Alpha Q]
Excellent work, soldier,
now it's time to return home.
- [Megatron] No,
wait, come back!
Come back, you insolent fool!
- [Kicker] Optimus, no!
No, it can't be!
Optimus!
No, this can't be!
This just can't be!
- [Skyblast] Optimus!
- [Jetfire] Calm down, Kicker.
It's gonna be okay.
- This looks serious.
- [Kicker] Come on,
Optimus, speak to me,
say something, anything!
Get up, I said get up!
Quit fooling around!
I know you can hear me.
Now pull yourself together,
and stand up,
right now, come on!
- That's enough,
Kicker, stop it!
- [Kicker] Skyblast, your
Energon star, he needs it!
- [Skyblast] Hm?
- [Kicker] Give Optimus
your Energon star!
- Whoa, why didn't
I think of that?
- [Kicker] Come on,
you gotta hurry!
- Oh, coming right up!
- [Kicker] Come on,
Skyblast, give him more!
You gotta give him all you got!
(Skyblast grunting)
(Optimus moans)
- [Kicker] Yeah,
that's it, Optimus!
- [Megatron] Go ahead
and run you scoundrel,
but you'll never
escape my wrath!
- [Optimus] Huh, what's this?
Hot Shot's blaster?
But why is he giving it to me?
Forgive me men, but
let me have a moment,
while my hard-drive optimizes.
- [Kicker] Huh?
(Megatron grunting)
- Where is all his
power coming from?!
(Megatron screams)
- [Autobots] Optimus!
- [Optimus] Huh?
Hot Shot, Jetfire!
- [Cyclonus] Megatron, wait
up, don't leave without us!
- [Kicker] What a waste, we
just had Lunar City rebuilt,
and now it's totaled again.
- [Optimus] Cities can
be rebuilt, Kicker,
but lives are much
more precious.
I want you to always
remember that.
- [Kicker] Hm, don't get all
philosophical on me, Optimus.
I've got more important
things to concentrate on.
- [Optimus] All
right, like, what?
- [Kicker] Like
worrying about Megatron.
- [Optimus] You let me
worry about him, Kicker.
- [Kicker] Yeah, but if
you ever need backup.
- [Optimus] I know, you'll
be right there for me.
