- [Autobot] Optimus,
I've discovered the source
of the transmission.
It appears to be coming
from a Decepticon w*r point.
- [Optimus] Keep
a safe distance,
but maintain surveillance.
Megatron might have
set up a defensive
line and we don't want
to fly into a trap.
- [Autobot] Yes sir!
(orchestral music)
- [Alpha Q] My head is
spinning out of control!
How much energon was taken?
How much?
We'll need even
more energon now if we
want to complete Unicron!
Let nothing stand in our way!
Not the Autobots!
Not Megatron!
Nothing!
(maniacal Laughter)
- Allow me to get it Alpha Q.
Megatron still
thinks I'm working
with him to complete
Unicron's torso.
It's going well but
we need more energon.
- [Alpha Q] Do you think you can
get the energon by
yourself Scorponok?
Is there another way?
There is no other way.
What are you scheming?
- I'll use Rodimus.
(maniacal laughter)
You want to use Rodimus?
Hmm Very well.
Bring us the energon
any way you can,
but do not fail.
I'm starting to lose control.
- I got a bad
feeling about this.
- Do you really
think the Decepticons
are going to try and attack us
all the way out here?
- Why wouldn't they?
But it's not so much the
Decepticons that worry me,
it's that Unicron thing.
- Yeah I definitely know
what you mean Kicker.
Unicron gives me the creeps.
- [Kicker] Me too.
I don't know what
it is but I feel
Unicron getting
stronger all the time.
- Huh?
- [Kicker] Is that
what I think it is?
- Yeah it's a Decepticon ship!
Let's get em!
- No wait!
It's something else.
Look at the colors their flying.
- That's what
Kicker said Optimus.
It's Rodimus' ship.
- Rodimus?
- Hmm I wonder why
he's following us?
- You can ask him if you want.
I have Commander Rodimus on
a secure channel right now.
- Good open the channel Misha.
(beeps and tones)
- Optimus Prime,
Well it's been a
long time hasn't it?
- Too long Rodimus.
It's good to see you again.
- I'm sorry there's no time
to talk about the old days.
I'm afraid it's the future
that we need to discuss.
I'd like your permission
to come aboard.
- Yes, but we're in a hurry.
- I understand but believe me,
what I have to tell you is
of the utmost importance.
- We'll slow down so
you can come across.
All engines full stop!
- Thank you for granting
me my request Optimus.
I'll try not to delay you
any longer than I have to.
(beeps and tones)
- Optimus I don't like this.
Something's not right.
- What do you mean?
- I don't know how
but I think Rodimus
is somehow involved
with Unicron.
- Hotshot do you have any
proof to back that up?
- No I just have a
feeling that's all.
- Keep those feelings
to yourself Hotshot.
And let's give Rodimus the
proper reception he deserves.
- Excuse me sir?
Rodimus is coming aboard?
(engines roaring)
(air doors opening)
- I'd like to thank
you again Optimus,
I realize this is a bit
of an inconvenience.
- It's not a problem
but we don't much time.
Let's talk privately.
- It's hard to tell what
Rodimus' intentions are.
We'd better keep an eye
on him just to be safe.
- [Rodimus] This
might sound strange,
but you mustn't destroy Unicron.
- Not destroy Unicron!
- That's right instead
of destroying Unicron,
I would rather see
Megatron defeated first.
And of course I'll offer
you any help that I can.
- Megatron is my
priority but I'm sure
you realize how
dangerous Unicron
can be once he's awakened.
- I suppose you see Unicron
as the ultimate evil.
Is that what you think it is?
- Yes of course!
- [Rodimus] I'm
afraid that's not so.
- What do you mean?
- [Rodimus] Unicron has the
power to create new life forms.
- It can create new life?
- Yes that's right.
Take the Terracons for example.
They're a life form
that Alpha Q used
the power of Unicron to create.
- I wasn't aware of that.
Rodimus I do know that Unicron
is bent on destroying
the Universe.
So I have no other
choice but to destroy it.
- Don't you see Unicron becomes
a danger only in the hands
of someone like Megatron?
But Unicron can be used
as a force of good.
- You're being naive.
What happens if Alpha Q takes
complete control of Unicron?
- You may not know
this but Alpha Q's
home planet was consumed
by Unicron in the past.
- Huh?
- Hey Kicker I'm going
to run a diagnostic
on the warp engine.
Give me a hand.
- Hey Inferno.
- Hmm?
- I was just
wondering how Rodimus
Optimus know each other?
I mean are they old
friends or what?
- Commander Rodimus
became a great
warrior after leaving
planet Cybertron.
Whereas Optimus Prime decided
to remain on
Cybertron and became
a great hero to
all the autobots.
(dramatic music)
- Back then many of our
kind joined Rodimus and
headed off into space
under his leadership.
But that put our
planet in great danger,
and left us open to
attack by our enemies.
It was lucky for all
of us that Optimus
has chosen to stay on Cybertron.
And we became organized and were
able to protect the planet.
I don't know how long
they've known each other,
but I know they have a
great respect between them.
Even though they've lived
very different lives.
- [Misha] They really
are heroes aren't they?
- Hmm?
- I mean both of them.
They are one of a kind.
- That's right they are.
- If you choose not
to destroy Unicron
it may be possible to recreate
the planets that it consumed
in its quest for energon.
- It's not that I don't
understand how you feel,
but have to realize that
once Unicron is resurrected,
many more planets
will be put in danger.
It's just too risky!
- I'm aware of the
risks involved in this.
- Hmph.
- Listen Optimus,
the reason I'm telling you all
this is because I want to
restore Alpha Q's planet.
- No that's too dangerous!
How many times do
I have to tell you
I'm not prepared to go
along with this gamble?
- You are being stubborn!
Prowl let's go!
- Uh yes sir!
- Hm there must be more to
this than Rodimus is saying.
- Optimus?
- As soon as Rodimus leaves,
we're going to make immediate
preparations to depart.
We're going after Unicron!
- Yes Sir!
- Rodimus, do you think we
should be leaving like this?
I mean what are you
to tell Alpha Q?
- I'll think of something.
I just wish Optimus
could see things my way.
- What!?
They're working with Alpha Q!?
(dramatic music)
(rocket engines roaring)
- Hey Ironhide what's going on?
What are you doing
out here all alone?
- What oh uh nothing?
- Yeah right!
If you're not
doing anything then
what's the energon star for?
- What?
Uh uh Oh well it's
just for uh...
- I know it's for Alpha Q,
and if you follow Rodimus he'll
lead you straight to him right?
That's what you're
planning isn't it?
- Uh well yeah how'd you know?
- Nevermind that just
hurry up and transform.
The ships going to be gone if
you keep standing around here.
- You think I should go?
I mean do you think I
should go all by myself?
- All personnel
to your stations!
Set a course for Unicron!
We're going in!
(engines blasting off)
- Uh it's just I've
always lived my life
following someone else around.
Like maybe it's time that I see
what I can do on my own.
Do you understand
what I mean Kicker?
- I know exactly how you feel.
I'm always being
told what to do.
If you have to do
this on your own,
then go for it.
- Yeah I will!
(dramatic music)
Ugh
- Come on!
What are you waiting for?
This is your chance
get on with it!
- Okay and thanks!
Thanks a lot Kicker.
- Just get going would ya?
Rodimus' ship is
already leaving.
- It is?
Oh right!
- Here!
You might need this!
- Oh!
- Take it.
I wouldn't want you
to get hurt out there.
Oh give me a break!
Don't start bawling!
(sniffles)
(engine blast)
- I guess this is goodbye
until we meet again Rodimus.
- Good luck Ironhide!
Be careful out there and make
sure you come back in one piece.
(engines roaring)
- Eh how far is this
ship going anyways?
- (chuckles) Well it looks
like we have a
stow away on board.
Is that the only one that's
tagging along with us?
- Yes it is sir.
He looks familiar.
Say isn't that the one
who tried to fight you?
- Well maybe he's
come for some more?
Do you want me to
get rid of him Sir?
It'll be my pleasure!
- We'll let him be.
I'm sure he means no harm.
After all, weren't we all
young and adventurous once?
I hope he enjoys the ride!
- Sir there it is.
Do you want me to go in closer
or should I keep the
ship at this distance?
- Hold this position
for the time being,
I want to see what
we're up against here.
So that's what Unicron
looks like now.
- Big and ugly as ever Sir!
- But getting bigger
all the time no doubt!
Look at the size of that thing!
- Whoa that's Unicron?
- Well one good thing is
it's not complete yet.
- But it's still dangerous.
It has more power than
anything we've ever dealt with.
- That's Unicron?
Man it's practically a planet!
I heard it was big
but until you see it
you don't realize
how huge it is!
- Is something
bugging you Kicker?
- What me scared?
- You should be,
that thing could
consume the Universe
if it really wanted to.
I'm pretty scared myself.
So hey it's all right
- I'm not scared!
- Huh!
Hey, where did
Ironhide disappear to?
- Um maybe he's on
the port side deck?
Yeah that's it!
- Ah don't tell me!
Well I've done some pretty
crazy things in my past too!
- So I've heard.
Like that time you
snuck into that
enemy base on your own and
went totally ballistic.
You understand then!
Ironhide looks up to you,
he didn't know what he
could do on his own,
so he gone to test himself.
He's just tired of
being told what to do.
Just like I am.
- Yeah I understand
Command Optimus.
This is Hot Shot reporting.
Ironhide has taken off.
He's following Rodimus' ship and
it looks like he
is going to enter
into Unicron.
- Hey Hot Shot!
- Hey I'm sorry it's
my duty to report that.
- But ugh.
- But I do understand
that a soldier's
got to do what a
soldier's got to do.
Hey we all have to.
- That Ironhide
sure is a wild one.
Do you want me to
call him back Sir?
- (chuckles) No leave him.
He'll be fine.
- I'm starting to
think that maybe
that wasn't such a
good idea after all.
Oh man there's Unicron!
(engines roaring)
(dramatic music)
- Oh no!
We're going to go
all the way inside!?
I sure hope I can
find my way out again.
This really was a very bad idea.
Ah I wish Kicker was here now,
he'd know how to get
us out of this mess.
(engines powering down)
- So where was the
suspicious ship last seen?
- On the side of Unicron
that faces the Earth.
- (evil laugh) It
must be Optimus Prime!
He's come snooping around
to see what he can find!
Leave him alone.
- Huh!?
- This is perfect.
Unicron will be
resurrected shortly
and it's first victim
will be Optimus Prime!
Things couldn't have
worked out better
even if I'd planned
them all myself!
Just relax Starscream
and enjoy the show!
(maniacal laughter)
(alarms blaring)
- Sir!
I've picked up a
Decepticon signal.
They're very close and
moving fast towards us!
- How many are there?
(yodeling)
- The Autobots
should know better
than to try and sneak up on us!
(evil laughter)
(lasers firing)
- Yeah it's time
to do some damage.
(rockets firing)
- Tidal Wave.
Tidal Wave.
Tidal Wave!
(Lasers firing)
(expl*si*n)
(dramatic music)
- Rats!
There on to us!
- [Optimus Prime]
Kicker move it!
Get back onto the
ship right now!
- What?
Optimus?
- I said go!
There's no one here
that can protect you.
- What are you talking about?
I can protect myself!
Otherwise I wouldn't have
let Ironhide go on his own.
- Kicker wait!
Ugh what am I going
to do with that kid?
Huh?
Optimus Prime power link!
(upbeat music)
- Fire One combine!
Copter Two Combine!
Digger Three Combine!
Submarine Four!
Optimus Prime power
link complete!
- Listen to me Misha!
Release the energon now!
- What are you talking about?
I can't do that!
It's way too dangerous!
- Just do it!
Ironhide is out there
fighting on his own,
he needs all the
help he can get.
Release the energon
before it's too late!
- Kicker I don't
think that's such a..
- Look a small
chunk is all I need,
just give me what you got left.
- Yeah okay.
(dramatic music)
- Ah!
(crashing sounds)
- I got to get out
of here and fast!
Ugh, I'm sure Rodimus and
his crew went this way.
- What is that
Autobot doing here?
How did he get inside Unicron?
- He's just a
reinforcement soldier
that stowed away on our ship.
He's harmless I think
he wants to meet you.
Perhaps he can be
of assistance if
you let him have
a word with you.
- How ridiculous!
Why would I want to talk
to a lackey like him?
- (evil laughter)
I think that we may
have made a mistake by thinking
we could count on you Rodimus.
- Oh why don't you just be
quiet and listen for once!
Can't you see that all we're
trying to do is help you out?
- Stand down Prowl!
- Listen!
We'll do what we have
to to protect you.
We'll get you back the
space that belongs to you.
And I'll honor the
promise I made.
- [Autobot] I don't even
know why we have to protect
this guy anyway.
What has he done for us?
- Our job was to
protect the Universe,
but we couldn't reach
as far their realm.
And now their planet is gone.
I feel responsible.
- You can't be serious Rodimus!
- Prowl this is a duty
that we have sworn to
undertake and we
must see it through
whether you like or not.
- Scorponok come here.
- Yes Alpha Q!
- I want you to go
find out if this
reinforcement soldier
can be of help to us.
- Yes Sir!
- Before he come near me,
I want to know if
he can be trusted.
We'll test him,
and then we'll decide if
he is of any use to us.
And please be careful Scorponok.
I don't want to damage him,
at least not yet.
- Ah man it seems like I've
been walking for hours.
Huh!?
Kicker was right!
I do need this puppy big time!
(door opening)
- Huh?
Somebody's trying to
tell me something.
All right!
You want me to go this way?
Fine!
If this is a trap
then it's a trap.
So be it!
Oh good at least there's a
light at the end of this tunnel.
Ah man what is this place!?
Looks like some
kind of warehouse.
And it's full of
those Terracon eggs.
Uh, looks like the only way
out of here is through it.
Well, wherever it leads
I just hope there's
nothing waiting
on the other side.
As long as they don't
hatch I guess I'm okay.
(metal egg hatching)
- Huh?
Hm must be imagining things.
Ha, come on Ironhide what
are you so afraid of?
You can take care of yourself.
- If you ever get lost,
don't give into your
fear or you're a goner!
- Okay!
All I have to do is
remember what Kicker said
and everything
will be just fine!
Hey Kicker look at me
I'm not afraid anymore!
(Dinobot roars)
- Wha!! Whoa!!
Uh oh!
So much for all those
Terracons not hatching!
Ah!
Get away from me!
Stay back!
I said get away!
Ah!
Ah!
Oh no my sword now
what am I going to do?
Stay back!
Get away from me!
Ah!
Get away from me
or you'll be sorry!
Ah!!
- [Misha] Kicker get ready.
I'm releasing the energon.
(multiple explosions)
- Okay I hope this works.
Ah!
Now Inferno!
Aim for the energon!
- Oh yeah!
I get it okay!
(lasers firing)
(energon explodes)
- Can you do that again Inferno?
- No problem, but we'll
need some more energon.
- Coming up!
Get ready!
This is going to be a big one!
Ugh!
Okay Ironhide!
You decided to go
it on your own,
so you better be able to hang
in there till we find you.
- Ngg, It's no good!
They're too strong!
(Dinobot biting Ironhide)
- Ah!
Ugh!
(cannons blasting)
(explosions)
- Scorponok!
- (evil laughter)
Congratulations!
You've shown a lot of guts
by making it this far!
- You!
You work for Alpha Q?
Where is he?
Ah!
Ugh!
Where is Alpha Q?
Ah!
Ah!
Ugh!
You can't stop me!
I won't give up!
I will meet Alpha Q.
Yes I will!
You can't stop me!
Ah!
- (evil laughter)
- I have to know
what Alpha Q is.
I gotta figure out this mess.
What is his connection
to Unicron and Rodimus?
You gotta let me talk to him!
(laughter)
Ah!
Ugh!
- Why you!
hmm very well you'll
get your wish,
but you might not
like what you see.
(door slides open)
- No what have you done!
- So this is what you call
reinforcement soldier?
- Forgive me Ironhide.
I'm sorry.
- Alpha Q I think this
one can be trusted,
he passed the test.
He proved that his
motives are true.
- Are you sure?
- Yes I believe him.
I don't think he's
a risk to any of us
- [Alpha Q] Very well.
(gasping for air)
- Inferno don't stop sh**ting!
Blast them!
- It's okay Kicker,
they're starting to withdraw.
We won this round.
- Stand down Autobots!
It looks like we
chased them away
for the time being.
But they'll be back.
- You can count on it.
- We'll be ready
for them next time.
We'll have to be.
(evil laughter)
- [Megatron] Oh Optimus Prime,
Yes you don't have a clue what
I have in store for you next!
