NARRATOR:

Our worlds are in danger!

To save them and the galaxy,

we must find

the four Cyber Planet Keys

before the Decepticons

can use them for evil.

It is our mission.

Never!

At last the universe

will be free of your evil!

[SCREAMING]

Optimus Prime!

Is he-- Is he okay?

[GROANS]

[♪♪♪]

I still function.

You haven't won.

Not while my spark still burns.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

You fought well.

Goodbye, Galvatron.

[♪♪♪]

JETFIRE:

Optimus!

OPTIMUS [SIGHS]:

Don't worry.

You won't get rid of me

that easily.

OPTIMUS:

Finally, the end

of the Great Cybertronian Wars.

With Galvatron's thr*at

neutralized,

representatives

from each planet converge

via the Space Bridge

on Cybertron.

Scourge

from Beast Planet.

Metroplex

from Gigantion.

From Speed Planet, Override.

And Evac delivers their newest

ally Colonel Franklin

who has been named ambassador

from Earth.

They are greeted by none other

than Optimus Prime.

Let the first Inter-galactic

Peace Conference begin!

You can feel love in the air!

Yeah!

JOLT:

And we're getting it

all on camera!

[GIGGLES]

Look at them all!

SCATTERSHOT:

Are you really leaving now?

WING SABER:

Yeah. I'm not one to lounge

around on the runway.

You know what I'm talking about,

Scattershot.

Well, that's too bad.

I was getting used to

having you around,

Wing Saber ol' buddy.

[GROANS]

See ya in the skies!

EVAC:

So now what do we do

with Cyber Planet Keys?

The Keys and Lock will need to

be placed in maximum security.

I advise we take no risks.

It's all right with Gigantion

if you wanna hold on to ours.

We're still going to be

buildin' our planet.

It'd provide peace of mind while

were busy workin' elsewhere.

OPTIMUS:

I have a something to say.

Rather than

hiding them all away,

we should follow the example

of our ancestors,

who blazed a trail

across the universe

to bring the Cyber Planet Keys

to your home worlds.

I propose

to this Peace Conference

that we build

a new Space Bridge!

[ALL GASPING, MURMURING]

What?



Build a new Space Bridge?

Let me try and explain it

to them, Optimus.

At the far ends of the universe,

there could exist countless

civilized planets like ours.

The plan is to locate them,

and with the help of

the Cyber Planet Keys powers,

we'll build a Space Bridge

which will connect

our worlds together.

I guess it's time

to pack my bags

and get ready to work,

Leobreaker.

That sounds like a lot more fun

than hiding the Keys.

We'll be continuing

the legacy of our ancestors!

We just completed one mission.

Do we dare start another one?

My guys were anxious

to get back to work,

but to build a bridge

across the universe

is like a dream come true!

Thank you, Metroplex.

I will lead

this construction convoy

consisting of four teams

traveling

in the ancient Starships.

If you're leading

the crew,

I'm sure the Cyber Planet Keys

will be safe enough.

Of course, I leave leadership

of Cybertron to Jetfire.

Wha--? Aw, blimey!

I second the proposal.

Optimus Prime,

build that Space Bridge!

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

That's right, folks!

I'll see your black hole,

and I'll raise you

a new Space Bridge!

It's the beginning

of an all new adventure.

Aw, man! I wish we could

go along with them!

Are you sure?

Me, leader of Cybertron?

What if I mess it all up?

I don't know if I can do this!

When I first took over

as supreme commander,

I felt the same way.

Huh? You did, Optimus?

Stand tall, Jetfire!

Never forget that the others

are now looking to you.

Ugh! That's the problem!

It's so much responsibility.

I wouldn't give you

this command

if I was not positive

that you can handle it.

Okay. Thank you, sir.

Huh.

You've proven yourself

time and again, Jetfire.

I believe in you

and so do the others.

HOTSHOT: Right, commander.



Huh?

You know

we've got your back!

Jetfire, you can depend on us

to give all we got!

Hey, don't forget

about us!

We're ready

when you need us, guys!

All of us are!

Well, all right, then!

Gotta say,

if weren't for me mates

puttin' it all on the line

like that,

I'd still be quakin'

in me boots.

Yeah,

I gotta say that was nice,

but to figure out a new leader

of Beast Planet,

we had a ton of fun!

[GROANS]

That's right!

There's nobody who can b*at me!

Nobody!

LEOBREAKER:

Not so fast!

[♪♪♪]

I'm not just 'nobody!'

[LAUGHS]

You're only gonna have

eight lives left, kitty cat!

Those are fighting words!

A fight to see who shall be

leader of the Beast Planet!

Put out his fire, Top Cat!

Come on! Let's go Leobreaker!



Don't listen to Coby!

Yikes!

Watch for the uppercut!

And the winner gets to take me

out for Energon!

Eat canvas!

Way to go, Leobreaker!

Come on, get up, Scourge!

You can do it!

Winner by knockout!

Scourge!

[ROARS]

Momma says knock you out!

That was a decisive

and noble victory by battle.

Scourge, you are the once

and future king of Beast Planet.

You fought ferociously

and excellently, Scourge,

just like back in the day!

I think I've only got

seven lives left!

We all fought well.

[ALL ROAR]

I feel a bit guilty

not being more involved

with the Space Bridge project,

but to be honest,

there are problems

I have to take care of first,

here on my home planet.

And although I hate to admit it,

I've learned a thing or two

about how to be a leader

from Optimus

and his Goody Two-shoes team.

Listen up!

I am a new Scourge,

and from this day forward,

I will be a better leader.

Together, we'll make Beast

Planet truly second to none!

Listen to the man!

SCOURGE:

We must fight less.

Huh?

Huh?

SCOURGE: And be better beasts.



Whoa!

I gotta admit,

no one was more shocked than me

to see Scourge

turn over a new leaf.

Optimus

has that effect on people.

I bet things are going just

as well over on Speed Planet.

[♪♪♪]

Traction Control?!

JOLT:

And Hotshot takes it!

He's won the Speedia !

I was so close!

If I'd only changed my tires

before we started.

Oh, you always

blame your tires!

Hotshot,

as winner of the race,

you are now leader

of Speed Planet.

What! I was just racing!

Listen up, Hotshot will have his

hands full while I'm away,

but he's a good kid.

I think he'll be okay.

Man, it's always pretty boys

like Hotshot that win the races!

Yeah, and I was tryin'

to impress the ladies!

There's nothing you could do

to ever impress me.

C-Z! I'm so embarrassed.

Why didn't you tell me

she was behind me?

Buddy, give it up!

She's not interested

in little guys like you.

Some friend you are,

wide load!

Wide load!

OPTIMUS:

With preparations

for the new Space Bridge

moving ahead,

everyone is chipping in,

even some former enemies.

Keep my back straight,

lift from the knees.

Phew! I can see this

all working out well for me!

With my experience

and leadership skills,

I see myself running this place

any minute now!

Hey, you!

Break time's over!

So Crosswise, what's next for us

two old monster hunters?

Well, now the hunt is over,

Evac.

I will miss the excitement,

you know what I mean?

What about the Space Bridge?

From monster hunter

to space explorer?

Hey, ya never know.

Hey-Hey-Hey!

What's with the heavy vibes,

man?

You look bummed.

I was just thinking,

I'm hip, but I don't

think too much, man!

You should be revving

your engines at max torque

and spitting bugs

out of your grill, compadres!

Sounds like a plan to me!

[♪♪♪]

So much great footage!

Yes, your film's gonna be great,

Bud-dude!

I know, but this documentary

is only the first step.

Once the studios

get a hold of this,

they'll be

b*ating down my door!

Um, Bud-dude? It looks like

we're almost out of tape.

I need more footage!

Have your people

call my people!

Best boy, key grip,

lunch break's over!

JOLT:

Safeguard!

[♪♪♪]

So the four ships,

they leave soon.

Yeah.

You want to go with them,

don't you, Coby?

Sure I do.

But I need to study

and learn engineering

so that someday I can design

and build my very own spaceship

then head into space

as one of them.

This is just

the beginning of it.

Like I said,

a whole new adventure.

I hope there's room in it

for two.

Uh, er, I mean--

Won't it be lonely up there?

I could keep you company

up in space and all.

You know,

I'm just saying.

[CHUCKLES]

I'm not going anywhere

without you.

No, you are not!

Yeah.

My two little brothers.

They saved the universe

and closed a black hole.

It was totally amazing.

You're in big trouble, Tim.

If you ask me, I'd say

you're gonna have to do

every nasty chore

around the house this summer.

Huh? How do you figure that one,

Chief Dobson?

Well, you just think about it.

Cleaning clogged gutters out...

"Dad, I saved the universe!

Make Tim clean

the gutters!"

[CHUCKLES]



TIM: Oh, no.

So, uh, is your mind

made up, buddy?

Destiny is calling,

and I must answer!

Oh, that I could be so bold!

Transform!

For too long,

I've let life pass me by.

Now I want to take part

in that grand drama.

My legacy will be writ large,

among the stars!

Farewell, old friend!

May fortune smile upon you,

mighty adventurer! Call me!

Hmm? Coulda sworn

there was a light here!

[♪♪♪]

Look at how everyone

wants to fly!

Brimstone,

you go hang out with Undermine.

It's a free universe!

Brimstone,

just leave them alone!

All right, me lads!

Tell 'em all exactly

just what we're gonna do!

ALL [CHANTING]:

Build that bridge!

Build that bridge!

Build that bridge!

I'm takin' a ride, but I'm gonna

keep the motor runnin'!

I'm not one

for emotional farewells.

Ha!

What would be emotional

about saying good bye to you?

[CHUCKLES]

Don't worry, my friend.

I'll keep him honest to his word

about Beast Planet.

I'm sure you will.

Hey, wee beasties!

Any of you lot coming along

to help build the bridge?

If there still space

on the ship!

I brought you a present,

Override.

It's an extra

fuel injection kit.

Aww,

that's better than diamonds.

I sure am gonna miss you,

big sister.

We'll see each other again soon.

Hey, whose bags are these?

And why did I get

the heavy one?

After all, you're a truck!

Why don't ye let me take that,

old timer?

What? Don't give me no lip,

ya darned whelp!

I was carryin' cargo...



Those darn machines

bicker

just like people do.

They're amazing.



They must be.

Hanging with them

helped Coby get a girlfriend.

L-Lori?

Lori! What did I say?

No boyfriends for you

until after I'm gone!

If he keeps embarrassing me,

he is going to be sorry!

Now, now.

Be on call, if they need you.

You can count on me.

Evac,

it's time for us to board.

Yes, sir.

I'm surprised you wanted

to leave Beast Planet.

Hmm. The path to enlightenment

often leads away from home.

You may not be

the biggest guys I know,

but you've got

the biggest hearts.

I'll miss you most of all,

Tin Man!

Hey Landmine,

those repairs holding up?

Yup.

Thanks a lot, you guys.

You kinda gave me

a new lease on life.

[ALL WHIMPER]

I guess the Cybertron

Defense Team is splitting.

I wish you the best

on Speed Planet.

We'll be apart,

but that don't split us!

All right, you guys,

the Cybertron Defense Team

is bound forever!

ALL:

Hmm!

OPTIMUS:

Joining the Autobots

on the mission,

are a select group

of human astronauts

and one friendly professor.

Colonel Franklin,

I know what you're thinking.

You know, Dr. Suzuki?

Well, all right, then, tell me.

You're thinking you should

propose to me right now.

Huh?

Oh, come on,

don't be nervous.

The answer is yes!

Uh, what just happened?

I'd prefer a spring wedding,

so call those caterers,

all right!

What?! Y-you're trying

to tell me we're engaged

and that you wanna marry me?

Uh, yeah!

Jetfire, the time has come.

You are now the commander.

That is not correct, sir.

See, for me, or rather for us,

there can only ever be one.

That commander is you,

Optimus Prime.

Hm.

[BEEPING]



Hmm?

Wing Saber here.

I've located evidence

of Starscream.

I will trail him back up.

Nothing to worry about here,

Optimus Prime.

That signal

is the best we can get.

We do have an overall direction

for it, though.

Starscream,

are you sure?

I was positive

he had been destroyed.

Optimus!

I request to be relieved

of my duties

with the Space Bridge Team.

And why would you want that,

Landmine?

I have some unfinished business

with Starscream.

He's not the only one.

Why hello, Mudflap.

"To set things right,"

you have said,

"seize your chance

to make amends."

Don't you believe that,

Landmine?

Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

Hey there, Optimus Prime.

Allow us to go seek Starscream.

It's a matter of honor.

It's understood.

I shall entrust

this task to you.

Thank you, thank you,

commander.

Good luck.

We'll work quickly, I promise.

Optimus Prime, take this.

It was a gift from Vector Prime.

Maybe you'll run into him

somewhere out in the cosmos.

If you do, say "Hello"!

I'll make sure to do that.

Hey,

if you don't come back safely,

it would be really sad

for everyone.

Don't worry,

I'll keep that in mind, Lori.

[CRYING]

I know you have to go,

but I really wish you would

stay here with us, Optimus.

If this is our last good-bye,

there aren't enough words to--

Don't cry, Coby!

Ah, don't cry.

[SOBBING]

Don't cry, Bud.

We said we wouldn't.

[KIDS CRYING]

COBY:

Optimus Prime

will always be with us.

Thank you, Coby.

Thank you, all!

[FIREWORKS POPPING]

You best come back,

Optimus Prime,

after all we been through!

Hold on, now! What gives?
