(upbeat funky music)
(Cyclonus yodeling)
(Megatron yawning)
- Here comes my
friend side stomping.
(Cyclonus laughing)
(lasers blasting)
Oh, crud, ow!
Well, that didn't work!
- Megatron, sir, I think the
new armor you gave Cyclonus
has done something to his head.
He's dancing around the Energon
grid on those stupid skis
and he's gonna get hurt.
- Yes.
Even though, I have agreed
with you, Demolisher.
Don't ever question
my decisions,
and please refer to Cyclonus
as Snowcat from now on.
Do you understand?
- [Demolisher] Right, Snowcat.
- And besides, I'm
changing our objective.
- Huh?
Sir, but what do you mean?
- I know there's more
Energon out there,
and I think we're
wasting too much time
probing around on planet Earth.
- [Alpha Q White] Oh great!
What's he talking about now?
- [Alpha Q Blue] He's on to us.
Megatron knows that there's
Energon here inside Unicron.
He'll be coming soon.
- He's not attacking
the Earth anymore.
- What?
- Megatron is
going to attack us.
- This is terrible.
- That's atrocious!
- No!
- Good!
(Energon grid charging)
- This Energon grid is great.
It's nice not having
to be on alert / .
- Not too smart.
Don't the Decepticons realize
they can't penetrate it.
- I bet it's that
crazy clown Cyclonus.
- No doubt.
Idiot Snowcat.
- My Energon grid is flawless.
These Decepticons can try
every trick in the book,
but none of their a*tillery has
any hope of getting through.
Right, Optimus? (laughs)
- My dad's way too laidback.
Did he forget that we
barely got the grid online?
- It's too soon to
let our guard down.
I have a feeling that
Megatron is working
on a new scheme
involving Unicron.
- I think we should run through
the plan we've been working on
so everyone's on the same
page, don't you think? (laughs)
- Inferno, call everyone
in the operations room.
We need to discuss
strategy in our next move.
- Optimus, sir, I'd like
Ironhide to take my place.
- Who, me, take over?
- It's okay.
Hey, I'll cover for you.
- You will?
- You want to hear what
Optimus has to say, don't you?
Well now's your chance.
- Yeah!
- Remind of when I was
young, ready for anything.
Those were the days.
I wanted to be
just like Rodimus.
- Man, this Rodimus guy really
left an impression on you.
Hey, Hotshot.
- We all have people
we look up to.
People that have made
an impact on our lives.
- Well, thank you sir.
Hey, I better not be late!
- So, it sounds like the
Earth isn't totally safe
from the Decepticons yet.
- I don't know if it'll ever be.
- This Alpha Q character
is having a little
too much impact on my plans.
I want you to find him
and destroy him, now.
- But he's a needle
in a haystack, sir.
- Yes, because
space is really big.
- Silence!
I don't want any of
your lame-brain excuses.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir!
(squawking)
- Who's that?
Why is this Terrorcon here?
- Sir, this looks like
the one from Alpha Q.
- Alright, Starscream,
what are you hiding?
- He's been eavesdropping
on you Megatron.
- What?
- Alpha Q made those
Terrorcons from Unicron.
He's been using them
as spies, Megatron sir.
- So, he's been watching
me this whole time.
Well, if it's games he wants
to play, then play we shall.
- Wait up, Megatron sir.
- [Megatron] Don't bother.
- [Optimus Prime] Our battle
isn't over just because the
Energon grid is complete.
In fact, the real battle
may be just beginning.
Unless we destroy Unicron and
squash Megtron's aspirations,
there will never be any
real peace in the universe.
- I'm really glad we
have Optimus on our side.
- We must bring the Energon
grid up to full capacity
and then prepare
for battle in space.
- But we don't know
where their base is.
- Well, I planted
a tracking device
on the Terrorcon we found.
So, thanks to me,
we can find them.
I am so good.
- Oh, quit your bragging!
- Preparations have already
started on planet Cybertron.
- Well I guess that means
we're on the move again.
Man.
- Kicker.
- Carlos, did you manage
to see the live video feed
of Optimus's speech?
It looks like we're
gonna need your help,
since the battle's
moving in to space.
Carlos?
Oh, lost all audio.
Great.
Oh, I lost video now too.
What's going on?
- Hotshot, come in, Hotshot.
Hotshot, are you there?
- Is that you Rodimus, sir?
The rest of the team and
I would like to thank you
for your help on
the last battle.
Seriously, we really
appreciate it.
- I open this emergency line
because I need to talk to you.
- To me?
For real?
- But we can't discuss it here.
This line might not be secure.
Someone could be listening.
- Kicker!
Transform!
Hey, what's up buddy?
- Nothing's up.
Just leave me alone, would you.
- Hey, Misha's
worried about you.
- I told you I'm
fine, all right!
- Obviously, you're not
and since the announcement,
oh, I get it.
It's the space thing.
You'd rather be on solid ground.
That's cool.
I'll just tell Optimus
that you're staying home
from this mission
'cause you're scared.
- Don't you thr*aten
me, Ironhide!
I don't need your,
something's wrong.
Wait!
(car engine revs)
Who was that?
- It looked like Hotshot.
- So what's his hurry?
- Search me, I
haven't got a clue.
It's kind of strange.
- Starscream, you ingrate.
I brought you back to
the Decepticon family
and still you deceive me.
(screaming)
- Please, Megatron, stop this.
- Out of my way.
- I won't .
Their Terrorcons are just
mindless machines, Megatron.
- So, still
rationalizing Alpha Q.
Well, he can't help you now.
- My allegiance is to you and
you alone, oh sovereign one.
- We'll see about that.
Well, if you aren't
behind Alpha Q,
then you won't be
coming to rescue
these Terrorcons like someone
else I know, will you?
- What?
- Oh, you know who I'm talking
about, don't you, Starscream?
- [Starscream] Scorponok.
- Or maybe I won't wait for him
to help the Terrorcons.
Maybe I'll call him myself.
Oh, Scorponok.
Scorponok!
- Huh?
I'm sure, I heard
Megatron call me.
Eat up my Terrorcons
and let's go.
(Terracons roaring)
(warp opening)
- Transform!
Hotshot!
I'm here, Rodimus.
That looks like a mineshaft.
I didn't realize they're
still mining Energon out here.
(Terracon roars)
- Who goes there?
- Scorponok!
- Let's swarm!
(laughing)
You think you can take me on?
- Well I guess there's
only one way to find out,
aye Scorponok?
That Energon isn't
yours for the taking.
(g*n blasts)
- Stop!
Stop that!
- I cant let those
those Terrorcons
steal anymore Energon.
So, don't even attempt
to revive Unicron.
That's our new mission.
And that's why I'm gonna
have to ask you to leave.
- Wait!
Stop, hold your fire.
- Huh?
- Drop your w*apon now, Hotshot.
- Rodimus!
He's stealing our Energon.
- You barely made it here.
What kept you for so long?
- I'm here now.
- [Scorponok] Well, I'm leaving.
Can't risk putting
Megatron in a bad mood.
- [Rodimus] Be careful, he's
got his eyes on Alpha Q.
- Alpha Q?
- I have to obey him for now.
- Transform!
- Wait!
- [Rodimus] Hotshot.
- Why did you let
him go like that?
They're taking Energon
back to Unicron.
- Hotshot, don't worry,
everything is fine.
- [Hotshot] Don't you get it?
They're using Energon
to rebuild Unicron.
- [Rodimus] Unicron must
be rebuilt once again.
That is the order of things.
(wind howling)
- I can't believe
what I'm hearing.
(warp opening)
- That took longer
than I thought.
- So do you think
Hotshot's out here?
- Look, over there!
- [Ironhide] You're right.
Hang on tight, Kicker.
Let's go.
(dramatic music)
- Unicron will live again.
- [Hotshot] Come on.
Do you have any
idea what he's done?
- I do.
Unicron, as you know him,
is a vicious transformer
that lives only to devour
everything in his path.
I once thought that too.
But now I know that
he's being controlled
by someone for a
different purpose.
- You must mean Alpha Q?
- The Terrorcons were created
from the Energon in Unicron.
Alpha Q watched over there
production meticulously.
- [Hotshot] So, the Terrorcons
are the work of Alpha Q.
- [Rodimus] Only time will tell,
but for now I want you to
hold off on attacking Unicron.
- I still don't understand.
- I realize that this
is a difficult request.
I've known Optimus all my life.
I know how he operates.
Right now, the one thing
he's got on his mind
is protecting Earth.
So Hotshot, that's why I'm
depending on your help.
(tires screeching)
- There's Hotshot
but, who's with him?
- It looks like Rodimus.
- [Rodimus] So, Hotshot,
you won't let me down,
will you?
- I can't, Rodimus.
You're asking too much of me.
- What?
- I made a promise
to Optimus Prime
and the rest of the Autobots.
I'll stop Unicron at all cost.
If you stand in my way,
you become the enemy too.
- Oh, no!
What's he doing?
- Hotshot, wait.
- You don't want to do this.
You're a team player.
You and I would
make a great team.
- You don't get it.
I'm already part of a team,
led by a great leader.
And I only take
orders from Optimus.
- That's what I like to hear.
- [Rodimus] I guess
now is your chance
to be noble like Optimus.
What are you waiting for?
Go ahead.
Do it.
Quit stalling.
sh**t!
- What?
(dramatic music)
- You're too weak.
Goodbye, Hotshot.
(g*n sh**t)
- Whoa, he just--
- No!
(grunting)
- Hang on, we're coming!
Hotshot!
Skyblast quick!
Give Hotshot some Energon now!
- I got it, Kicker!
Transform!
Energon star coming at you.
- Nice Job.
All right, Ironhide,
let's go get him.
- But...
- He just blasted Hotshot.
What more reason do you need?
(yelling)
- Transform!
- Don't let him get away.
- I'm trying.
- Just chase him!
- All right, Kicker, here we go!
(intense music)
- Hey, you're off.
Lock on at one o'clock.
- I'm trying!
- [Rodimus] He's got that human.
Perfect.
Keep following me.
- Kicker, no matter what,
Rodimus is still our superior.
- What kind of
example is he showing?
He just nailed one
of his teammates.
- Huh?
- Hotshot wasn't just
betrayed by another Autobot,
but by one of his heroes.
(Hotshot grunting)
- Poor Hotshot.
Who is that?
- I am not liking
the looks of this.
- Now, sh**t them!
- Yes, sir.
Hey, Rookie, check
out my laser blaster.
(screaming)
- Kicker, take this sword!
- You.
- It's time, Prowl.
Let's power link.
- [Prowl] Okay.
(screaming)
- Rodimus!
- Prowl!
- [Prowl And
Rodimus] Power link.
- Powerlink Rodimus!
- Oh, no.
They've Power linked.
- Human, you can not beat me.
Come with me instead.
- So, what exactly
are you saying?
- Alpha Q has become
very intrigued by you.
- Did you say Alpha Q ?
- The remaining Energon
is our only hope.
Our only hope.
- Why would you team
up with Alpha Q?
What are you
planning anyway, huh?
- Come with me, Kicker,
and I will show you.
- Don't even think
about it, Rodimus.
Don't you dare put a hand
on my partner, understand?
- Partner?
- It doesn't pay to be the hero.
(screams)
- You've got guts, kid,
but what are you going
to do about this?
(g*n blasts)
- What's happening?
- Kicker!
(screams)
- Ironhide, are you okay?
- I'm fine.
I got to get him
- Ironhide, stop it.
You can't fight him on your own.
(Ironhide grunting)
- [Kicker] Ironhide!
- Who do you think you are?
Rodimus is your superior.
- I don't think so, Prowl.
- Leave them, Landmine.
They're useless.
- [Landmine] Yeah,
they're just dead weight.
- I don't have time for
Optimus' bunch of amateurs.
- You got it, boss.
- Are you okay?
Rodimus, you creep.
- Well, kid, we'll meet again.
Link up!
(intense music)
- Oh, no.
What have I done?
- You did what any solider
would have done, Ironhide.
And on top of that,
you saved my life.
- [Ironhide] You're wrong.
- What are you saying?
- Rodimus is my superior,
first and foremost.
I pulled a w*apon
on my superior.
What have I done?
What was I thinking?
- Ironhide.
- Hotshot, sir, I'm
sorry for what happened.
- You know, sometimes it's hard
to make important decisions
in the heat of battle, Ironhide.
But I believe you
did the right thing.
- Really?
- What do you think
Optimus would have done
if he were in your position?
The same thing because your
teammates always come first.
- Good job, partner.
I'd be proud to go
into space with you.
- Kicker.
- The universe isn't just
for the transformers.
It's our universe too.
- But...
- Besides someones got
to look out for you.
- What?
- I want you by my side
when we find Alpha Q.
But, why does he want
to regenerate Unicron?
- Alpha Q?
(eery music)
(warp opening)
- Slow down, Scorponok.
- What a greeting party.
- Follow me.
- So, what's this about?
- Megatron says we're
supposed to make sure
you don't take that
Energon to someone else.
- [Alpha Q White] This is bad.
- [Alpha Q Orange] Very bad.
- Megatron, I have
returned to you.
- [Megatron] That
should clear the air.
- What?
- Well, Scorponok, there's
been suspicion floating around
about your connections
with Alpha Q
and why you've been
supplying him with Energon.
- That's totally
ridiculous, sir.
- So you completely deny
any association with him.
Is that correct, soldier?
And you don't know
where he's hiding?
- No!
- Oh, don't worry Scorponok.
I'll believe you.
It's Alpha Q who will
be the one disappointed
by your renouncement.
- What is that
Decepticon saying?
- What are we going to do?
What are we going to do?
- Oh, Scorponok, why
have you betrayed us?
Why?
Why?
(Scorponok crying)
- [Megatron] So, how does it
feel to be used as live bait?
Let's see if Alpha Q
thinks you're worthy enough
to be saved.
Will he come to your rescue?
- Alpha Q is smarter than that.
- Well I guess we'll never know,
until we put him to the test.
(Megatron chuckles)
(yodels)
So how's the view
out here, buddy?
- Get lost, Snowcat.
- [Alpha Q Orange]
That Scorponok is
messing up our plans!
(yodels)
- [Alpha Q White] Maybe,
we should help him.
- [Alpha Q Green] We can't
risk our safety for his.
- [Alpha Q Blue] There's no
way that we can help him.
(Scorponok screams)
Hold on.
Hold on, Scorponok.
- [Scorponok] Help me, Alpha Q.
