COBY:
Wing Saber is out there now,
scanning the area
for any sign of them,
but it's like looking
for a needle
in a billion
light-year haystack.
They could be
almost anywhere.
Red Alert,
this is Wing Saber.
I got nothing here,
and I'm running out of Energon.
RED ALERT:
Roger that, Wing Saber.
Return to base.
WING SABER:
Look, tell Coby I'm sorry,
okay? I'm really tired--
COBY:
It's okay, Wing Saber.
I know you did your best.
We'll just have to think
of another way, that's all.
We know they're going
to Gigantion.
So if we can just find
the Giant Planet,
that's where
we'll find them.
If Atlantis can get them there
in one piece.
You need not be concerned.
Even in its current state
of disrepair,
the Atlantis should have
no trouble making the journey.
Bud and the Mini-Cons
should be perfectly safe,
although I'm afraid
the same cannot be said
for Starscream and Sideways.
Their minds are not prepared.
What do you mean?
VECTOR:
Bud thinks like a Mini-Con.
BOTH: Huh?
Their minds are more flexible.
Huh? No way! You mean
Bud's whacked-out imagination
is gonna let him cross safely
into other dimensions?
Darn! How come I can't be nutty
like him? It's just not fair!
I don't think you need
to worry about that, Lori.
From my observations,
you might be nutty enough.
LORI: What?
RED ALERT: Remember when
we tried to scan
Jolt's memory
for the location
of the Giant Planet?
We found out that his brain
was structured more like
a human child's,
to be exact.
So only a human kid, or someone
who thinks like a human kid,
can make it through
the dimensional barrier?
In a sense, yes.
But what about
you guys?
I mean,
you're pretty grown-up!
Well, I admit,
this is the first time
I've regretted being
the level-headed one.
However, I've been
analyzing the powers
of Vector Prime's sword
and the Matrix of Leadership
that Optimus carries.
They both have inherent
stabilizing properties
that may enable us
to cross the barrier.
Hmm...
[♪♪♪]
REPORTER:
...and in a press conference
regarding what is now
being called the "Hole in
the Sky," Dr. Mohammad Wong
of the National Association
for Atmospheric Studies
once again reassured the public
there is no cause for alarm.
[THINKING]
Then why does that thing
feel so...wrong?
And why am I suddenly worried
about my brothers?
[PHONE RINGING]
Huh?
TIM:
Hello?
Uh. Hey,
big brother.
Coby? Hey, it's good
to hear your voice, bro.
What's goin' on?
You moved into my room yet?
Uh, no. Tim,
I kinda need your advice on
something, if that's okay.
[♪♪♪]
[GASPS]
So, what should I do, bro?
Well, I guess I can tell
Mom and Dad that Bud's with me.
Huh?
That way they won't worry.
And it'll buy you
some time.
COBY: Time? For what?
Cobe...
You gotta tell
Mom and Dad.
COBY:
Yeah, I know,
but I don't know how.
Just tell them the truth.
We're family, Coby.
We've got to
believe in each other.
I guess we do, huh?
Thanks, big bro.
Hey, don't mention it,
little brother.
But next time, you and Bud
have to visit me for real.
I miss you guys.
[CHUCKLES]
You okay, Coby?
[♪♪♪]
SCATTERSHOT:
Aw, for crying out loud!
There's more of 'em over here!
JETFIRE:
What? You gotta be
yanking my cables!
HOTSHOT:
They say for every
Scrapmetal you see,
there's a hundred more
you don't see.
OVERRIDE:
Oh, huh, now
that's a pleasant thought!
HOTSHOT:
Hey, it's just what I heard.
[♪♪♪]
Well, I've seen enough!
Leave Primus alone,
you doggone parasites!
Nobody's gonna infest
my creator!
Once we rid Primus
of these pests,
we can start looking
for the Giant Planet.
Yeah, but,
you know, Big Bot,
Coby and Lori are gonna want
to come along with us.
To a whole 'nother dimension?
Aw, come on!
Hey, those kids are tougher
than you think.
[♪♪♪]
I hope Coby's doing okay.
I mean, we're all worried
about Bud,
but to lose
your little brother... Wha--?
Crosswise?
There's something
you need to see.
[♪♪♪]
Oh, frag it!
[GROANS]
How could I be such
a colossal dope?
I joined up with the Decepticons
because I resented humans,
but they turned out to be
a bunch of lunatics.
I turned my back
on all my friends
just because I didn't want to
wait at traffic lights! Stupid!
LANDMINE:
Hey, Mudflap!
Who's there?
Thundercracker? Megatron?
Listen, I'm not
a Decepticon anymore!
I'm... I'm nothing!
So just leave me alone!
Landmine? Look, I don't want
any more trouble!
[♪♪♪]
Is that why
you're out here
beatin' up
on defenseless trees?
Hmph!
I mean it, Landmine!
Decepticons, Autobots, you
can all just leave me alone!
[GROANS]
Listen to me,
I am not kidding!
I don't want to have anything
to do with any of you!
I know how you feel,
but I can't let that happen.
Mudflap...
If you ain't
a Decepticon no more,
then I want
my friend back!
Your friend?
Landmine, I--
I don't know what to say.
The stuff I did--
Ah, skip it,
it's all right.
Everybody
makes mistakes--
Even though some mistakes
are dumber than others.
[CHUCKLES]
I-- Landmine. I--
I'm so sorry!
Whatever it takes, I--
I wanna make things right!
You don't owe me
anything, pal.
But you know, you do owe
yourself a second chance
at being a good guy.
Stop beating yourself up.
And leave the trees
alone too!
And pull yourself together!
You're kinda embarrassing me!
Huh?
[ALL CHATTERING, HONKING]
I guess I'm back.
So, what are we all sitting
around here for, huh?
Let's hit the road!
[AUTOBOTS ALL CHEER]
[♪♪♪]
LORI:
Okay, how about this:
We tell them we won a contest,
and the prize
is an all-expenses-paid trip
around the world!
Oh. That won't work.
We'd have to give them our hotel
information and all that stuff.
[GASPS]
What about summer school
in Europe?
Oh, no,
that won't work.
I'm sure we'd have
to bring back report cards.
I suppose we could say
we ran off to get married...
[CHIMES]
[GASPS]
But then-- We're not really--
You know--
No. We're going to tell
our parents the truth, Lori.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
But they won't
believe it.
Well, then we have to
make them believe it!
Yeah! We have to
convince them.
[INHALES AND EXHALES DEEPLY]
Okay.
Oh, um, I'll be right back.
Huh?
[♪♪♪]
PRESIDENT [ON PHONE]:
I see. Interesting.
Well, thank you for keeping me
in the loop
on this Transformer
situation, Colonel.
I'm looking forward
to reading the detailed account
in your written report as
soon as it becomes available.
Of course.
Thank you, Madame President.
Colonel Franklin,
when I first took office,
I thought this
special project of yours
was a waste of
the taxpayers' money.
Oh?
But this is one instance
where I'm very happy
to be proven wrong.
Good work, Colonel.
Well, thank you, ma'am.
Your support
means a lot to me.
Goodbye, Colonel.
[SIGHS]
[RINGING]
Yes?
MAN: Colonel,
there's a call on
the special priority line.
Well, put it through.
[♪♪♪]
DAD:
All right, Coby,
let me get this straight.
That thing in the sky
is a black hole.
And it's going to devour
the Earth within a few weeks?
That's right.
And you've been helping
some giant alien robots
called Transformers
to stop it.
Well, technically, we've been
helping out the Autobots.
You see, they're the good guys
among the Transformer robots.
[GROANS]
Lori, mija, listen
to what you're telling us.
I mean, Autobots
and black holes?
Papa! It's the truth!
We've all been
through a lot,
but there's a rational
explanation for everything.
This is rational!
You know everyone
saw the Transformers!
The skies were practically
filled up with Decepticons!
Don't you remember--?
Airplanes.
What? Okay, what about
the air base?
There were three Autobots
being repaired there, remember?
Sorry, I didn't
see them, son.
[BOTH GASP]
That's right. Our parents
stayed inside the building.
Hey, what about
our friend, Jolt?
The helicopter you saw
outside the window?
Yeah, but that was
just a helicopter, hon.
No, it wasn't!
[♪♪♪]
[THINKING]
We do sound crazy.
And nothing we can say
will convince them.
OPTIMUS:
Landmine,
how are the kids doing?
Well, our secret's still safe,
Optimus, but those poor kids!
OPTIMUS:
It can't be helped.
Well, yeah, but they're just
tryin' to do the right thing.
Okay, then, Papa.
Answer me this:
Would you believe us if
we show you a Transformer?
But, Lori, sweetie,
there's no such thing.
Answer the question!
Lori...
Hey, Six-Speed!
Show our parents
how you transform!
Please?
So whose car is that,
anyway?
It's not a car, Dad!
Come on, Six-Speed,
please!
I know it's against
Optimus' orders,
but if our parents don't
believe us, then it's all over!
Six-Speed!
I know we can't
disobey orders,
but this just ain't right.
Not after everything
those kids have done for us.
Come on, mija.
That's enough for now.
We can talk about this
when we get home.
Papa!
You too, Coby!
But the Autobots, Dad!
You don't understand!
They need us to help them!
Landmine still needs repairs!
And we're the only ones who
can hear the Omega Frequency--
Excuse me, Coby!
You heard your father!
Come on, you don't understand!
I don't have a choice!
I have to go back
to Gigantion!
It's the only way we have
a chance to get Bud back!
That's ridiculous, Coby!
Bud is with Tim!
[SIGHS]
No, Dad, he isn't.
Tell him.
[♪♪♪]
Bud...was taken.
Huh?
Bud was captured
by Starscream.
And now he's on a starship
heading for another dimension!
[VEHICLE APPROACHING]
ALL:
Huh?
Huh?
[SIGHS]
I'm sorry if we're
interrupting anything, folks.
I know we all seemed
to get off on the wrong foot.
Colonel.
And you're the woman we saw in
that helicopter, aren't you?
Miss Honda?
Uh, it's Professor Suzuki,
actually.
But then, we weren't
formally introduced.
You're just in time!
Uh, you knew about this?
Who do you think
called them, silly?
Come on, Coby,
I knew our parents
would never believe
our crazy story, right?
Um...
Colonel Franklin.
Professor.
Tell my parents
that it's all true!
That I have to go
rescue Bud!
I'm sorry, Coby.
But it's just too dangerous.
[BOTH GASP]
No way!
Lori, I realize
you've been to other planets,
but this is an alternate
dimension completely!
I don't care!
We're talking about my friends,
here! Bud, and Jolt and Reverb!
T-to other planets?
Oh, no,
my little baby!
I'm very sorry about Bud.
But we're doing everything
we can to help.
So it's all true?
This Starscream person
has my little boy?
But what about Tim?
Well, we didn't
want you to worry.
That's why
Tim said what he did.
He said we had
to believe in each other,
because we're family.
I guess we're trying
to do the right thing.
Huh?
And he was right
about family.
I'm sorry. I should have
told you the truth,
right from the start.
But that doesn't matter now.
Bud is in big trouble, and
he's counting on me to help him.
He believes in me,
because after all, we're family.
Hmm. Yeah,
I understand all that, Coby,
but you need to
understand something.
Your mother and I are res--
[RUMBLING]
[BOTH GASP]
BOTH:
Huh?
[BOTH GASP]
[♪♪♪]
DAD:
What the devil is that?
It's huge!
MOM:
Look! There's another one!
Hey! Optimus Prime!
Optimus Prime, Transform!
[♪♪♪]
LORI:
That's Optimus Prime!
He's the leader of the Autobots!
He's kinda strict,
but I think
that's only because he cares
about us all so much!
Vector Prime, Transform!
COBY:
The clockwork guy
is Vector Prime!
He's one of the Ancients.
He actually saw
the pyramids being built!
Heck, he probably
saw dinosaurs!
He's got incredible powers
over time and space!
Hey, don't forget me!
Landmine, Transform!
COBY:
Whoa! Landmine,
were you spying on us?
LORI:
Landmine is the first
Transformer we met.
We found him
crashed in the forest.
[♪♪♪]
I guess the kids have already
handled our introduction.
I hope
we didn't alarm you.
Seeing is believing,
huh?
[CHIMES]
Uh, ordinarily,
I'd invite you in,
but I don't think
you'd fit.
Are you thirsty?
Don't worry about it, Mom.
They don't eat human food.
These guys are on
a strict Energon diet!
We could send out
for something...
To be honest,
I had my own doubts
about letting Coby and Lori come
to the Giant Planet with us.
But after hearing how determined
they are to help rescue Bud...
Well, I'd like them
to join us.
They've been a great help
to us every step of the way.
A great help to you?
Forgive me, but I don't see how
two innocent Earth children
could be of
much help to you.
Hey, these kids
saved my life!
I can't even count the number
of times Coby's patched me up.
And your daughter
is just about
the bravest person
I've ever met.
You-- You really
mean it?
Every word of it.
Lori practically designed
our secret base,
and Coby installed
the equipment.
And the children proved
vital to our mission
on both Velocitron
and the Jungle Planet.
But our kids...
Please, Dad. I have to.
For Bud?
Hey, what if I went too?
They're my sons.
It's my responsibility.
Okay, then I want to go too!
Ernesto, no!
I'm sorry,
but that's impossible.
Crossing the dimensional barrier
requires a flexible mind,
one that can accept
new reality at face value.
I see no other way
around it.
But our minds
are also flexible!
No, they're not.
Our children came to us and told
the absolute truth, Ernesto.
They needed us
to believe them,
but none of us
could accept their reality.
It's as plain as that.
I swear upon my very spark
that no harm will
come to these children.
We will go the Giant Planet,
fulfill our mission,
and return with Bud in time
to save both our worlds.
Please, Dad!
Papa!
[♪♪♪]
All right, you two.
Don't cause Optimus any trouble.
[GASPS]
Dad!
Don't worry. We've got
a heck of a son here, honey.
I know.
But so is Bud.
Optimus. Please find Bud.
Bring him back!
I will. I swear.
Papa? Mama?
This Giant Planet place,
It's not really dangerous,
is it? I mean, you'll be safe?
Oh, no!
It's totally safe!
It's Six-Speed's
home planet, after all.
It's like my friend's house.
Don't worry.
Just...a few hundred
light-years away.
What? A few hundred
light-years away?
Oh, my,
did I just say that?
It's safe, right,
Six-Speed?
[CHIMING]
See, Papa? He says
it's just like home!
Listen, my daughter means
the entire world to me.
You understand?
I swear by
the Spark of Primus.
Um. Right. Uh, well, whoever
this Primus person is...
[SIGHS]
Just be safe.
Oh, thank you, Papa!
Our baby?
In another dimension?
Hey, don't worry, Mama.
We'll save the universe
and be back in time for dinner.
What about dinner, dear?
Do they feed you up in space?
Uh...not really.
Then I'd better start
cooking pronto!
Uh, Mama!
[♪♪♪]
COBY:
I've fed most of the data
into this communicator.
We'll keep transmitting
as long as we can.
We'll signal again
when we're back
in this dimension, Colonel.
Understood.
Good luck,
you guys.
Okay. We'd better
get going, guys.
Don't worry, I'll bring you
something from space!
Lori. Coby.
[♪♪♪]
Take this.
In case...you get hungry
on the trip.
We're very proud of you,
Lori. Remember that.
Papa. I will.
Don't take any guff from
those Decepticons, you hear?
Just come home safe.
Right!
[♪♪♪]
COBY [THINKING]:
I'll come back safe, Mom.
All of us will!
Our little boy
has grown.
He has.
It's funny. I look at them
and I start to wonder...
Was I ever that young?
Was I ever that eager?
Was I ever that full of hope?
Was I that fearless?
I know what you mean.
I think if there's anything
at all in life
that I can be truly proud of,
it would be my three sons.

[GASPS]
But then-- We're not really--
You know--
No. We're going to tell
our parents the truth, Lori.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
But they won't
believe it.
Well, then we have to
make them believe it!
Yeah! We have to
convince them.
[INHALES AND EXHALES DEEPLY]
Okay.
Oh, um, I'll be right back.
Huh?
[♪♪♪]
PRESIDENT [ON PHONE]:
I see. Interesting.
Well, thank you for keeping me
in the loop
on this Transformer
situation, Colonel.
I'm looking forward
to reading the detailed account
in your written report as
soon as it becomes available.
Of course.
Thank you, Madame President.
Colonel Franklin,
when I first took office,
I thought this
special project of yours
was a waste of
the taxpayers' money.
Oh?
But this is one instance
where I'm very happy
to be proven wrong.
Good work, Colonel.
Well, thank you, ma'am.
Your support
means a lot to me.
Goodbye, Colonel.
[SIGHS]
[RINGING]
Yes?
MAN: Colonel,
there's a call on
the special priority line.
Well, put it through.
[♪♪♪]
DAD:
All right, Coby,
let me get this straight.
That thing in the sky
is a black hole.
And it's going to devour
the Earth within a few weeks?
That's right.
And you've been helping
some giant alien robots
called Transformers
to stop it.
Well, technically, we've been
helping out the Autobots.
You see, they're the good guys
among the Transformer robots.
[GROANS]
Lori, mija, listen
to what you're telling us.
I mean, Autobots
and black holes?
Papa! It's the truth!
We've all been
through a lot,
but there's a rational
explanation for everything.
This is rational!
You know everyone
saw the Transformers!
The skies were practically
filled up with Decepticons!
Don't you remember--?
Airplanes.
What? Okay, what about
the air base?
There were three Autobots
being repaired there, remember?
Sorry, I didn't
see them, son.
[BOTH GASP]
That's right. Our parents
stayed inside the building.
Hey, what about
our friend, Jolt?
The helicopter you saw
outside the window?
Yeah, but that was
just a helicopter, hon.
No, it wasn't!
[♪♪♪]
[THINKING]
We do sound crazy.
And nothing we can say
will convince them.
OPTIMUS:
Landmine,
how are the kids doing?
Well, our secret's still safe,
Optimus, but those poor kids!
OPTIMUS:
It can't be helped.
Well, yeah, but they're just
tryin' to do the right thing.
Okay, then, Papa.
Answer me this:
Would you believe us if
we show you a Transformer?
But, Lori, sweetie,
there's no such thing.
Answer the question!
Lori...
Hey, Six-Speed!
Show our parents
how you transform!
Please?
So whose car is that,
anyway?
It's not a car, Dad!
Come on, Six-Speed,
please!
I know it's against
Optimus' orders,
but if our parents don't
believe us, then it's all over!
Six-Speed!
I know we can't
disobey orders,
but this just ain't right.
Not after everything
those kids have done for us.
Come on, mija.
That's enough for now.
We can talk about this
when we get home.
Papa!
You too, Coby!
But the Autobots, Dad!
You don't understand!
They need us to help them!
Landmine still needs repairs!
And we're the only ones who
can hear the Omega Frequency--
Excuse me, Coby!
You heard your father!
Come on, you don't understand!
I don't have a choice!
I have to go back
to Gigantion!
It's the only way we have
a chance to get Bud back!
That's ridiculous, Coby!
Bud is with Tim!
[SIGHS]
No, Dad, he isn't.
Tell him.
[♪♪♪]
Bud...was taken.
Huh?
Bud was captured
by Starscream.
And now he's on a starship
heading for another dimension!
[VEHICLE APPROACHING]
ALL:
Huh?
Huh?
[SIGHS]
I'm sorry if we're
interrupting anything, folks.
I know we all seemed
to get off on the wrong foot.
Colonel.
And you're the woman we saw in
that helicopter, aren't you?
Miss Honda?
Uh, it's Professor Suzuki,
actually.
But then, we weren't
formally introduced.
You're just in time!
Uh, you knew about this?
Who do you think
called them, silly?
Come on, Coby,
I knew our parents
would never believe
our crazy story, right?
Um...
Colonel Franklin.
Professor.
Tell my parents
that it's all true!
That I have to go
rescue Bud!
I'm sorry, Coby.
But it's just too dangerous.
[BOTH GASP]
No way!
Lori, I realize
you've been to other planets,
but this is an alternate
dimension completely!
I don't care!
We're talking about my friends,
here! Bud, and Jolt and Reverb!
T-to other planets?
Oh, no,
my little baby!
I'm very sorry about Bud.
But we're doing everything
we can to help.
So it's all true?
This Starscream person
has my little boy?
But what about Tim?
Well, we didn't
want you to worry.
That's why
Tim said what he did.
He said we had
to believe in each other,
because we're family.
I guess we're trying
to do the right thing.
Huh?
And he was right
about family.
I'm sorry. I should have
told you the truth,
right from the start.
But that doesn't matter now.
Bud is in big trouble, and
he's counting on me to help him.
He believes in me,
because after all, we're family.
Hmm. Yeah,
I understand all that, Coby,
but you need to
understand something.
Your mother and I are res--
[RUMBLING]
[BOTH GASP]
BOTH:
Huh?
[BOTH GASP]
[♪♪♪]
DAD:
What the devil is that?
It's huge!
MOM:
Look! There's another one!
Hey! Optimus Prime!
Optimus Prime, Transform!
[♪♪♪]
LORI:
That's Optimus Prime!
He's the leader of the Autobots!
He's kinda strict,
but I think
that's only because he cares
about us all so much!
Vector Prime, Transform!
COBY:
The clockwork guy
is Vector Prime!
He's one of the Ancients.
He actually saw
the pyramids being built!
Heck, he probably
saw dinosaurs!
He's got incredible powers
over time and space!
Hey, don't forget me!
Landmine, Transform!
COBY:
Whoa! Landmine,
were you spying on us?
LORI:
Landmine is the first
Transformer we met.
We found him
crashed in the forest.
[♪♪♪]
I guess the kids have already
handled our introduction.
I hope
we didn't alarm you.
Seeing is believing,
huh?
[CHIMES]
Uh, ordinarily,
I'd invite you in,
but I don't think
you'd fit.
Are you thirsty?
Don't worry about it, Mom.
They don't eat human food.
These guys are on
a strict Energon diet!
We could send out
for something...
To be honest,
I had my own doubts
about letting Coby and Lori come
to the Giant Planet with us.
But after hearing how determined
they are to help rescue Bud...
Well, I'd like them
to join us.
They've been a great help
to us every step of the way.
A great help to you?
Forgive me, but I don't see how
two innocent Earth children
could be of
much help to you.
Hey, these kids
saved my life!
I can't even count the number
of times Coby's patched me up.
And your daughter
is just about
the bravest person
I've ever met.
You-- You really
mean it?
Every word of it.
Lori practically designed
our secret base,
and Coby installed
the equipment.
And the children proved
vital to our mission
on both Velocitron
and the Jungle Planet.
But our kids...
Please, Dad. I have to.
For Bud?
Hey, what if I went too?
They're my sons.
It's my responsibility.
Okay, then I want to go too!
Ernesto, no!
I'm sorry,
but that's impossible.
Crossing the dimensional barrier
requires a flexible mind,
one that can accept
new reality at face value.
I see no other way
around it.
But our minds
are also flexible!
No, they're not.
Our children came to us and told
the absolute truth, Ernesto.
They needed us
to believe them,
but none of us
could accept their reality.
It's as plain as that.
I swear upon my very spark
that no harm will
come to these children.
We will go the Giant Planet,
fulfill our mission,
and return with Bud in time
to save both our worlds.
Please, Dad!
Papa!
[♪♪♪]
All right, you two.
Don't cause Optimus any trouble.
[GASPS]
Dad!
Don't worry. We've got
a heck of a son here, honey.
I know.
But so is Bud.
Optimus. Please find Bud.
Bring him back!
I will. I swear.
Papa? Mama?
This Giant Planet place,
It's not really dangerous,
is it? I mean, you'll be safe?
Oh, no!
It's totally safe!
It's Six-Speed's
home planet, after all.
It's like my friend's house.
Don't worry.
Just...a few hundred
light-years away.
What? A few hundred
light-years away?
Oh, my,
did I just say that?
It's safe, right,
Six-Speed?
[CHIMING]
See, Papa? He says
it's just like home!
Listen, my daughter means
the entire world to me.
You understand?
I swear by
the Spark of Primus.
Um. Right. Uh, well, whoever
this Primus person is...
[SIGHS]
Just be safe.
Oh, thank you, Papa!
Our baby?
In another dimension?
Hey, don't worry, Mama.
We'll save the universe
and be back in time for dinner.
What about dinner, dear?
Do they feed you up in space?
Uh...not really.
Then I'd better start
cooking pronto!
Uh, Mama!
[♪♪♪]
COBY:
I've fed most of the data
into this communicator.
We'll keep transmitting
as long as we can.
We'll signal again
when we're back
in this dimension, Colonel.
Understood.
Good luck,
you guys.
Okay. We'd better
get going, guys.
Don't worry, I'll bring you
something from space!
Lori. Coby.
[♪♪♪]
Take this.
In case...you get hungry
on the trip.
We're very proud of you,
Lori. Remember that.
Papa. I will.
Don't take any guff from
those Decepticons, you hear?
Just come home safe.
Right!
[♪♪♪]
COBY [THINKING]:
I'll come back safe, Mom.
All of us will!
Our little boy
has grown.
He has.
It's funny. I look at them
and I start to wonder...
Was I ever that young?
Was I ever that eager?
Was I ever that full of hope?
Was I that fearless?
I know what you mean.
I think if there's anything
at all in life
that I can be truly proud of,
it would be my three sons.
