- Hi, Kicker, greetings

from Cybertron.

We thought we'd send you a

little message and say hi.

We just arrived here

on the Miranda Two.

The Energon grid has

been working perfectly,

so now we've got a strong

defense network in place

and I'm so very pleased.

Not long ago, it was

just a crazy dream,

but thanks to the Autobots,

that dream came true!

Kicker, I'm so proud of you!

I'm so proud of my whole family,

these have been

really trying times,

and you've contributed

so much, good job, son,

and thank you.

Sorry I get all choked up.

- Yes, dear, we know

how proud you are,

especially of kicker.

- I don't miss you at all, bro,

you can stay away

as long as you want.

- Just remember to eat properly

and take your vitamins, honey.

- And say hello to

Misha for me, okay?

- And please, don't stop

looking for Energon,

we need a constant supply

to maintain the grid.

(frustrated growling)

- Why'd you turn it off, Kicker?

What's wrong?

Don't you wanna see the

rest of the message?

- Not really.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

enough mushy stuff already.

Hey, quit fooling around,

Misha, I'm serious!

(shocked screaming)

Sally!

- Hey there, big brother.

- What's up?

What are you doing here?

- Just never you mind, Kicker,

I have business of

my own to attend to.

- Who brought you?

- Sorry, Kicker.

I guess you're not the only

one with special missions.

- Huh?

What are you talking

about, anyway?

Oh, well, you're here now,

so make yourself at home.

But if you wanna stay,

you've gotta work

because we're still on

the lookout for Energon

and the Decepticons, too.

- Don't sweat it, bro,

I may be your little

sister and I know

you don't believe it,

but I do know how to

take care of myself.

- Yeah, but things

could get dangerous,

and I don't want

you to get hurt.

- Everybody's gotta stay alert,

the Decepticons have

been destroying planets,

so they mean business.

They'll do anything

to get the Energon.

Anything at all.

- They'll even

destroy planets, man.

- Kicker, lighten up,

it's not all bad news.

We've got this

planet taken care of,

there's a new Energon grid

being put in place right now.

- Yeah?

How come nobody

told me about that?

- Well, maybe you should come

to the morning role call.

- This is the drop

site, bombs away!

(intense exciting music)

- Now I'm gonna get me

some of that sweet Energon!

What's going on?

Is it an earthquake?

- [Decepticon] It's Megatron,

he's on the throne again.

- [Transformer] What

has he been eating?

- [Decepticon] It's the

Energon, he's crazy for it.

He sits around in the dark

because he doesn't want

to waste any of it.

- [Robot] Megatron, we're

feeding Unicron with Energon

as you requested.

- But we'll need a

lot more to complete

the project, sir.

- Just finish it.

I'm tired of all

this waiting around.

If it weren't for

those cursed Autobots.

- Why blame the Autobots

when you're the one to blame?

- [Megatron] I heard that!

(metallic crashing)

- What did you do that for?

- Shockblast.

- Yes?

- Fight me.

- But why, Megatron?

- Because you think you're

a better leader than me.

Come on, prove it.

- I've got the

size and the power,

but I still feel like

something's missing.

Optimus, Hotshot, and

all the other Autobots

seem to know how to

handle themselves,

but I still feel like a rookie.

I just need a chance

to prove myself.

Darn, what do they know that

I haven't figured out yet?

- Ironhide.

- Hotshot?

- Have you got a few

minutes to spare?

Come on, I wanna

show you something.

We'll be back in a little while!

- I wonder where they're going.

Hey, I could use some R and R,

why don't we follow 'em?

- That's a great idea,

let's do it, Jetfire.

After all,

we can't let them have

all the fun, now, can we?

- All work and no play makes me

one bored Autobot!

Transform!

- Kicker?

- See you, Misha,

hold down the fort

until we get back!

- Why do I have to stay?

I like fun, too!

With everyone gone,

it sure is quiet here.

- Here's why.

- What's that?

Did you find a new planet, RC?

- Well, not exactly

new, everyone else

seems to know about it.

- But why is

everyone going there?

- I guess you could call it

their own personal playground.

(laughing)

Boys will be boys.

- [Both] Transform!

- Whoa, what is this place?

- Oh, you'll see.

It's a great place to practice

your driving skills, bud.

- Driving?

- Yeah, come on, I'll show ya.

- Hotshot, why do I have

to practice my driving?

Hey, did Kicker

say I was a lousy

driver or something, Hotshot?

Are we almost there yet?

- The starting line

is just up ahead.

- Starting line?

- Here we are, Ironhide.

So, what do you think?

- Huh, what is this?

- Hey, everybody,

we're getting really

close to the start

of the very first

Autobot Grand Prix.

Now, I know all of you

have been wondering

who's got the fastest

wheels in the universe.

Well, today, we're

gonna find out.

My name is Sally, and I'm

joined in the announcing booth

by Mr. Personality

himself, Skyblast!

- Thanks, Sally, it's

great to be here.

- Oh, and by the way,

this event is being

broadcasted live

all across the universe.

This sure is exciting,

isn't it, Skyblast?

- You betcha!

- [Sally] Who do

you think will win?

- [Skyblast] That's a tough one.

- Hotshot, why

didn't you tell me

you were gonna

enter me in a race?

The competition looks tough,

I don't know if I'm ready.

- Relax, you'll be fine.

You're as good of a driver

as any of these guys.

If you do the best you can,

I'm sure you're gonna make

it to the winner's circle.

- [Ironhide] Okay,

if you say so.

- [Transformers] Transform!

- [Prowl] Well,

well, look who it is.

Ironhide, shouldn't

you be up in the stands

where you belong?

- [Downshift] Yeah, this race

isn't for rookies like you.

- Give it up,

there's no chance

you're gonna beat

a high performance

machine like me.

- I'm warning you guys,

there's a lot more to this

kid than meets the eye, right?

- Huh, what?

- Transform, once

this race starts,

it's every bot for himself,

so I hope you can handle it.

- I can?

Oh, man, this is my one chance

to show everybody what

I'm really capable of.

- Hey, Ironhide, the

starting line is here.

We go once around the

planet, first one back wins.

- [Sally] All competitors,

get into vehicle mode

and proceed to

the starting line.

The race is about to begin.

- Okay, you're on your own.

From now on, no

more Mr. Nice Guy.

- [Sally] Autobots,

start your Sky blast!

(engines revving)

(crowd cheering)

(machines roaring)

- Racers, get ready,

I'll start the countdown.

Three, two, one, go!

They've cleared

the starting line.

Hotshot is out in front,

followed by Prowl,

Cliffjumper, and Downshift.

Bringing up the

rear is Ironhide.

He's really gonna

have to put the pedal

to the metal if he wants

to stay in this race.

- [Ironhide] Rats,

I'm way behind,

I've gotta catch up

with the rest of 'em.

- Aw man, the fun's

already started.

- [Kicker] A road race!

Let's get down there, I

don't wanna miss this.

Hey, where's Ironhide?

- [Jetfire] There he

is, right down there.

- [Kicker] Wow, he's

way out in the lead.

- [Jetfire] No,

he's in last place.

- In last place?

- Oh, Optimus.

- What is it, Rodimus?

What are you so interested in?

- Well, the bots have

been working really hard

on the Energon

grid, and it's done,

so well, they're racing.

- Racing, whose idea was that?

Who authorized this?

- I did.

- Well, I guess it's all right.

But keep an eye out

for the Decepticons,

we don't wanna get caught

with our guard down.

- Of course.

- [Sally] They're really

tearing it up out there.

The lead racers have just

passed the first checkpoint,

but they better keep

it under control,

because there are some

dangerous curves up ahead.

And Ironhide's on the move!

- Yeah, eat my dust!

This is it, I'm going for it,

nobody's gonna beat me!

Oh, crud!

- [Sally] Oh, no, Ironhide's

crashed into the wall!

- [Jetfire] He's got

guts but no brains.

- [Kicker] I'm going down there.

- [Jetfire] No, wait, Kicker!

- My auto link,

it's out of whack!

- Ironhide.

- Oh, hey, Kicker!

- I think you need a few

more driving lessons.

- [Ironhide] So

what are you doing?

Hey, I can repair this myself!

- Come on, we're a team,

now put it in gear

and I'll steer.

- [Ironhide] Well, yeah, but--

- Move it, or we won't

be able to catch Hotshot!

- [Ironhide] Oh, all right.

- [Jetfire] Nice work, Kicker,

he's back in the race.

- Hey, Jetfire,

why don't we make

this race a little

more interesting?

- [Jetfire] Let's do it!

- [Bulkhead] This

is gonna be fun!

- [Kicker] Hit the brakes

when we go into this corner.

- [Ironhide] The brakes?

- [Kicker] Just do it, then

floor it on the other side.

Okay, here we go!

- Things are really heating up!

It's no surprise that

Hotshot's leading the pack.

But don't count those

rookies out yet.

Boy, those bots are

really battling it out.

As the old saying goes, it

ain't over until it's over,

and there's still

a lot more racing.

But it's great so

far, right, Skyblast?

- Oh, for sure.

Oh, no, a wipeout!

(metal crashing)

(groaning)

There's trouble on the tracks.

Downshift and Prowl have

just had a major crash.

- [Hotshot] I wonder

where Ironhide is.

I hope he was able

to steer clear

of that accident back there.

- [Ironhide] We're still

way behind the others.

- This isn't over yet,

we still have a chance,

just stay focused.

- You okay?

- Oh, yeah, I'm fine,

I'm just a little banged up.

- Well, if he says

he's all right,

then I'm gonna get

back in the race.

- What?

This is all your

fault, you know!

- No way, racing is

a risky business.

Transform, see you losers!

- Just leave me here.

- Okay, but you take

care of yourself.

Transform!

I'm gonna get you, Downshift,

come back here, you cheater!

- [Kicker] Looks like

there was a pileup.

Now's our chance

to make our move.

- [Ironhide] Okay,

what should we do?

- [Kicker] Look at Prowl,

see how he's sticking

close behind Downshift?

He's avoiding the wind

resistance by staying

in the draft.

- [Ironhide] Oh, I get it.

- Hey, it's all downhill now.

Come on, let's get past Prowl.

- [Prowl] Ironhide,

where'd you come from?

- [Kicker] Do it, Ironhide.

- [Ironhide] Okay!

- [Prowl] What are you doing?

Ah!

- [Kicker] Sorry, but

you snooze, you lose.

- Transform!

Creeps, I'm gonna get you guys!

- [Bulkhead] Time

to heat things up.

Here we go, transform.

Let her rip!

- [Hotshot] Incoming!

- [Transformer] Oh, great!

(mischievous laughing)

- That oughta sort 'em out.

- [Transformer] We're stuck!

We can't drive over that.

- I can make it.

- What?

- I'll show you,

watch, transform!

It's time for a little

off-roading, see ya!

- [Hotshot] Wait, come back!

- [Ironhide] Hey, Kicker!

- [Kicker] What?

- [Ironhide] This

race is all ours now.

- [Kicker] Concentrate

on the road, Ironhide.

Haven't you figured

out what Hotshot

is trying to teach

you through this race?

- Uh, what's that?

- [Kicker] He wants you

to use your power wisely.

Think about what you're

doing before you act.

- [Ironhide] What do you mean?

- [Kicker] Well, like

using your brakes.

Be aware of the course

and what the other

racers are doing.

That's the only way

you're gonna win this.

- You're right.

- [Downshift] What

happened to the road?

(metal clanking)

- Okay, now's our

chance, let's get him!

Go for it, Ironhide.

- [Ironhide] Okay, hang on!

- [Sally] Coming up to the

last stage of the race.

Cliffjumper is in the lead,

followed by Hotshot,

then Landmine.

What's this?

Is that Ironhide?

It is, and he's

coming on strong!

- [Kicker] Make your move,

Ironhide, get past Landmine.

Do it now!

- [Ironhide] Uh, why is

everyone slowing down?

- [Kicker] It's hard

to see in the tunnel,

so naturally,

everyone gears down.

But this is where your

big lights come in handy.

- [Ironhide] Hotshot!

- [Hotshot] Ironhide,

you're still in the race?

- [Ironhide] Yup, and

thanks to you and Kicker,

I figured out how

I'm gonna win this!

- [Hotshot] Oh yeah?

We'll see about that.

- [Ironhide] Oh,

no, what is that?

- [Kicker] Don't sweat it,

figure it out, you

can handle this.

- [Ironhide] Okay,

I'm going for it!

- [Hotshot] Good job,

you would've been

a goner if you hesitated.

- [Ironhide] Oh, I know.

- [Hotshot] The finish line is

just up ahead, see you there.

- [Ironhide] You're on!

- [Transformer] Man, I

wanna go off roading,

but not this far off road.

Oh, man.

- [Jetfire] What's

taking him so long?

Oh, here they come.

All g*n ports, open!

Fire!

- [Hotshot] Ironhide,

there's some more

obstacles headed this way!

- [Ironhide] Obstacles?

Why are they firing at us?

Oh, no, woah!

- Second wave, launch!

- Isn't the race over yet?

- Well, almost, but I

thought a little m*ssile fire

would make it more entertaining.

- [Optimus] Well, I hope

you're using blanks.

- [Jetfire] Oh, I am, sir.

- [Optimus] Good, then

I think I'll join in.

- [Jetfire] What?

- [Optimus] Let's

Powerlink, Wing Saber.

- [Wing Saber] Yes, sir.

- Optimus Prime!

- Wing Saber!

- [Both] Powerlink!

(exciting electronic music)

- Powerlink up link!

Try this on for size.

- Go get 'em, sir?

- [Hotshot] Hey, Ironhide,

there's the finish line.

Now it's time to win this baby.

- [Ironhide] Hope you

won't take it too personal

when I smoke ya and

take the checkered flag.

- [Hotshot] Yeah?

In your dreams, buddy.

- [Sally] The first

ones back to the stadium

are Hotshot and Ironhide!

And here they come now.

(crowd cheering)

- [Ironhide] I made it this

far, so I have to win this!

- [Hotshot] Optimus?

- [Optimus] Your

last obstacle is me!

- [Hotshot] Oh, no, not again!

Transform!

Nice shot.

- What happened?

It's like I've

been hit by a semi.

- Kicker, get out!

I can handle it from here, bud.

- Go for it!

- Transform!

(grunting determinedly)

(metal shattering)

- [Hotshot] Ironhide!

- You'll have to do a

lot better than that.

- It's time for you to focus.

Don't think of Optimus as

your commander anymore.

Right now, he's the enemy.

Use all your power to bring

him down any way you can.

- [Ironhide] I'll do it!

- [Optimus] I'm warning you,

Ironhide, I won't hold back.

- I gotta concentrate

and try to figure out his every

move and use all my power.

I know, I can use his

own weight against him!

I can do this!

- Yeah, you got him, Ironhide!

- Hotshot, go for

the finish line!

- [Hotshot] What?

- [Kicker] What are you saying/

- You deserve to win

this race, buddy!

You deserve it more than me.

Now get going, okay?

- You sure?

- Do it!

- Okay, I will.

Transform!

- [Optimus] You're

letting him win the race?

Are you giving up?

- I'll beat you, I know I can.

- You've already won, Ironhide.

- Huh?

- You've learned a

valuable lesson today.

No matter what, your

loyalty to your teammates

will always pay off.

- Yeah, I knew I

did the right thing!

- But don't let your guard down!

- [Kicker] Ironhide!

- [Hotshot] Oh, no.

- [Sally] Something's

happening down on the track!

Hotshot was headed

for an easy victory,

but he suddenly stopped.

It looks like Ironhide

is out for good, and RC

and a masked rider have

come out of nowhere.

They're crossing

the finish line,

and they're gonna win,

yes, they've done it!

What an amazing turn of events.

The Autobot Grand Prix

has its first champion!

Now let's find out who this

mysterious masked

rider really is!

(victorious music)

It's Misha!

Misha and RC are the winners!

- We sure showed 'em, didn't we?

- [RC] We sure did.

- [Optimus] So, Misha

and RC won the race.

- [Hotshot] How about that?

- Who won?

This race is all ours?

- Well, it would've been

if you weren't so determined

to show off for everybody.

- Show off?

(friendly laughing)

- [Sally] Okay,

folks, let's all have

another big round of applause

as we present our winners

with the championship trophy.

(joyous laughing)

- Why are we laughing?

Because the Autobots are.

Feels good, I like it!

And all is well.

It must be.

[Alpha Q] Our planet is safe,

perhaps we don't have

to worry anymore.

How wonderful.

(laughing)

- [Kicker] Hotshot, get

Sally home safely, okay?

- Of course I will.

Because I know if I don't,

you're gonna kick me,

and I've already got

enough dents on me

left over from the race.

- It's been fun hanging

around with you, big brother,

let's do it again sometime.

Don't be a stranger, huh?

- I won't, but I

want you to tell

mom and dad not to

worry so much about me.

- Okay, we'll let

your girlfriend

do all the worrying for us.

- Kicker, what does that mean?

Girlfriend?

- [Kicker] Nothing,

nothing at all!

- [Sally] Catch you later, bro.

- [Hotshot] Transform!

(grunting)

(screaming)

- Do you still want to

challenge me, Shockblast?

- Shockblast can't

take much more of this,

and we do need him to

complete the project.

- Hm, that's too bad,

I was just starting

to get warmed up.

Very well, we'll

continue this tomorrow.

- Maybe if I could

see, it's so dark!

- Oh, wow, what's this?

(loud shaking)

- Could it be?

I've heard of an ancient temple

where Energon was

placed as an offering

to the great warrior who

once protected Cybertron.

Is it possible?

Could the ancient life

force be stirring?

Is the legendary hero

awakening to help us now?

(shouting in pain)

Yes, it is!
