(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.
