03x01 - The Battle for Cybertron

[bunniefuu]

OPTIMUS PRIME:

Transformation.

Everything in the universe

transforms.

Sometimes, it is for the better.

Sometimes, it is not.

After a millennia of w*r

between the Autobots

and the Decepticons...

In our most desperate moment...

I expelled the Allspark

from Cybertron...

Causing the destruction

of our planet.

For this, I blame myself.

But now our world

will transform again,

and Megatron and all his

Decepticon forces

cannot stop us.

Jetfire. Windblade. Report.

Optimus Prime,

we have good news!

There appears to be

no Decepticon presence

on Cybertron.

- Nothing we could

see from the air.

Is this Cybertron?

It does not look how I imagined.

Wait! Let me see that.

Is that...

Iacon City?

TELETRAAN-X: Oh, yes! It's a

perfect match for the data in my

records,

except for the parts

that are completely devastated

and ruined!

Then we're too late.

THAT will never be home again.

Wait, Bumblebee! You forget

the power of the Allspark.

Yet you have seen

what it can do.

It has repaired our ship...

♪

Restored a world...

And revived a Titan!

Together... we will heal

this planet

by returning the Allspark

to the Well.

Cybertron will be your home

once again.

Teletraan-X, I wish to speak

to the entire crew.

TELETRAAN-X: You got it!

I feel a speech coming!

Autobots, the time has come for

our return to Cybertron.

The Guardian of the Allspark

is with us,

and we will let nothing stop us

from our duty to restore life

to our world.

I have seen you fight bravely in

all corners of the universe.

But now,

our journey is at an end.

We will rebuild

our civilization.

We will live in peace.

Optimus Prime! If you're out

there, we need you now.

Cybertron is falling!

You must return immediate--

You were unable to make contact

with Chromia.

I tried.

But I couldn't reach her.

Our return may not be

as simple as it seems.

(EFFORT GRUNTS)

Have to...get out of here!

Optimus and the others

have no idea

Megatron is waiting for them.

You shouldn't have told Optimus

to return to Cybertron, Chromia.

I had no choice. Megatron was

going to deactivate you!

You should have let him.

Now you will be responsible

for the deactivation of

all the Autobots.

Thanks a lot, Perceptor!

I'll remember that

next time Megatron is

threatening to destroy you.

Please do.

(GRUNTING)

I believe I can help you

with that.

(CLANGING)

There. You are free.

UGHHH!

Why didn't you do that before?

I didn't know if it would work.

Also, it burns out my optics.

I can no longer see.

What?!

(GASPS)

DECEPTICON GUARD:

Can't believe we have to go

to every single one

of these things!

We need a way out.

Those two are going to find out

we're missing.

Let me take a look.

But I thought you...

I have other

means of perception.

Lucky for us...

Cybertron is falling apart.

A network of natural tunnels has

formed behind this wall.

Now, all we need to do is...

- (CLANGING)

Bust it open!

Watch your step!

(CRUMBLING EARTH)

- What's down there?

(ECHOES)

- These tunnels - they go almost

to the core of the planet.

They lead to

the Well of the Allspark.

- Then I know where we are.

Come on!

(EFFORT GRUNTS)

CHROMIA:

The Threshold of the Well!

Of course Megatron would take

the most sacred place

on Cybertron

and make it his headquarters.

Seekers are approaching.

(JET ENGINES ROAR)

We have to get word to Optimus.

Can you get us to

a communications array?

Yes.

(GASP)

- Ha! I don't think so.

UHHHAH!

More will be coming.

We've got to get out of here!

Only one of us has to go.

You're faster. Leave me.

But I can't!

You must.

For Cybertron!

Unghhh...uh.

WHOAAAAAH!

(DOOR OPENING, CLOSING)

(FOOTSTEPS CLANGING)

Okay. I got this!

Chromia to Ark,

can you hear me?

Ark, this is Chromia.

Do not attempt to land on

Cybertron!

I repeat, do not...

(LASER FIRE)

(GASPS)

Laserbeak!

You annoying little...

(GROWLS)

(LOUD CLANG)

- There will be no more escape

for you, Chromia.

(BASH)

Unnghhh.

(CRASH)

Whatever it takes.

I am ready.

Cheetor! Optimus wants us all

to go...

What's going on?

Are you okay?

Of course, Bumblebee.

No need to worry about me.

Come, a new Cybertron awaits!

I can't wait to get back

to Cybertron.

First thing I'm going to do

after being cooped up

on this ship

is go racing on

the Lithium Flats.

(MAKES ENGINE NOISE)

What about you, Grim?

Do you even need to ask?

I'll be throwing my

"We just saved Cybertron

after traveling around

the universe" soireé.

You're all invited, of course.

Arcee?

I'm going to go home, unpack my

souvenirs from Earth

and just kick back for awhile.

What about you, "Red Eyes"?

You got some fun planned?

I do. And it's been

a long time coming.

Trust me, Hot Rod.

I'll make sure you're there.

Uhhh....

(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

(FOOTSTEPS)

(SCREECH)

- Shockwave...

Yes. I understand.

Your friends are here

to rescue you.
