[thunder rumbling]

Hmmm. The electrical storm is approaching

faster than we thought.

-[Hoist] Can we take shelter here? -Sadly, no.

With the lightning and waves from the storm,

nowhere on the island or the water is safe.

Good thing the last VIPs are being rounded up.

-VIPs? -Very Important Penguins.

-[chirping] -[Medix] Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard... Welcome aboard...

[panting] Remind me why these birds are so important.

The Yellow-Eyed Penguin is one of the rarest penguins on Earth.

There are only , of them known to exist.

Well, I'm glad I didn't have to count 'em.

Oh-- oof! Gotcha!

Come on little fella, back in line.

Okay, that's all of 'em.

-You mean, besides those two. -What?

♪♪

[panting]

Looking for these fellas?

Oh come on!

Uh, where are Wedge and Whirl?

Making a final check of the island to make sure

-we aren't missing any. -We better call them back.

Boulder isn't sure how the storm will affect the Sigma,

so we gotta go. Wedge? Whirl?

This is Hoist. Do you read me?

[Whirl] [crackle] We... just about... you..

[Hoist] [crackle] ...back to... Sigma... to leave soon...

Okay, I think I understood that.

We're on our way back.

The electrical storm must be interfering with communications.

Good thing we've got all the penguins rounded up.

[chirping]

You two are lucky we found you.

Don't be frightened. You need to come with us.

-It's not safe here. -[chirping]

Hoist, we need a little more time.

We've found two penguins and they're kinda shy.

[Hoist] [crackle] Got it. Come as quick as you-- Ow!

We'll wait for you-- Hey! Put that down! [crackle]

-Don't touch that! -What is going on back there?

[chirping]

Wah-- oof!

You really shouldn't be doing that!

Wait, stop! I can't-- Whoa!

[sighs]

Come back!

I know you're hungry little guy,

but please don't lick the Sigma Drive.

No! That's the eject! Ugh!

-[thud] -Humph.

Argh! Uh, recruits?

[Hot sh*t shouting] One of the penguins keeps jumping

up and down on the lever!

[effort grunt] [sigh]

♪♪

Whoa!

New plan.

We'll deliver these penguins to the habitat

we prepared for them, then come back for the others.

Do we have time before the storm?

It'll be close, but these penguins are a handful.

-[squawk] -[zap]

If we don't fly the ship now,

we might not have a ship to fly.

We'll stay on the island until you get back, Professor Boulder.

Yeah, we'll help get Whirl and Wedge to the beach.

We shall be prepared for your return.

Hmm. I wish there was another option.

[thud]

Oh boy. Stick together, recruits.

Remember your training and be careful.

I'll be back soon.

At least he's got the penguins under control.

Kinda.

Come in Hot sh*t? Come in Hoist?

Come in Medix? They're not answering.

I wish I could tell these guys there's a storm coming.

They wouldn't want to get back to their nest

if they knew the whole island is about to get hit

by giant waves! Ah... ugh!

-[chirping] -There you are!

We need to get back to the beach, fast.

We'd be there already if Stan and Holly didn't keep escaping!

Huh?

We named them.

Maybe we can speed this up in vehicle mode.

Tried that. They kept jumping out of my scoop.

I mean a vehicle with seat belts and closing doors.

Fine.

But you're all helping me clean my upholstery after this.

[chirping]

Stop running around! That tickles!

[lightning crashes]

♪♪

-[thunder crashing] -Where's Professor Boulder?

He went to deliver the first batch of penguins.

But we thought he'd be back by now.

[Boulder] [crackle] Penguins safe...

[crackle] Storm...Sigma can't fly...

Your orders-- [crackle, beep]

It appears that we are on our own.

We can still complete the mission.

Whirl and I can fly the penguins to safety.

You guys can wait here.

A storm can't hurt Rescue Bots.

[squawking]

[lightning booms]

[all groaning]

-[thud] -[sighs]

-[chirps] -What... was that?

It appears to have been some kind of electromagnetic pulse.

We'll stick to the plan! Fly those penguins to safety!

-Whoa! -[thud]

I... can't transform.

-[thud] -Me neither!

Agh! I can't even use my winch whips.

I believe that electric pulse shut down

all of our Cybertronian abilities.

It'll take time for our systems to recover.

[thunder crashing]

Time's the one thing we don't have!

Think, team. How do we get these penguins to safety without tech?

I remember watching an Earth movie about a man trapped

on an island with a volleyball for a friend.

He built a raft and escaped!

I don't know what a volleyball is,

but we can't build a raft without tools.

We still have our greatest tool!

Is it an invisible hammer?

Unless I am mistaken,

Hoist is referring to our brains.

Yeah! We need to work fast.

Look for anything that might be useful,

and bring it down to the beach. We can still do this!

♪♪

Aggghh!

-[thud] -Whoa!

[nervous chuckle]

[booming]

[Wedge] Wood, seaweed and shells?

how do we make a raft out of this stuff?

We'll use the shells to cut the wood,

and rope it together with seaweed.

It doesn't need to be pretty, just useable.

You know, it's great what you can do

with just your brain and a team.

We should ask Boulder if we can go on missions like this

all the time!

Okay, it's not that great,

but it does make a nice change.

We did it!

And just as the rain stopped.

-Awww, after all that work? -At least we're safe.

That's strange, the beach has grown.

-The tide sure went out fast. -I've heard about this!

It's what happens right before a giant wave hits!

-Oh. -The lightning is no longer

a danger, but that wave is!

We need to get out of here before it hits.

Quick, grab Stan and Holly!

Um, where are they?

What is with these penguins?

Don't they wanna be rescued?

Do you think they ran back to their nest again?

We'll go check. You get the raft down to the water.

There's still time if we move fast.

What could be so important that those penguins

would run into danger to get back to their nest?

[chirping]

-[Wedge] Ohhhhh. -I guess that explains it.

We had enough trouble with two of them,

how are we supposed to move five?

I have an idea.

♪♪

Why are you walking like that?

Wedge, is part of you damaged?

-Only my pride. -It worked, didn't it?

I thought there were only two penguins!

Meet Mary, Curly and Moe.

They're new. Really, really new.

I'd love to hang out with them, but the wave's about to hit

the island! We need to hurry!

Hold on tight, everyone.

[Hoist] Now paddle!

♪♪

[Medix] According to my admittedly simple calculations,

it will take us days to reach land again.

I think they're okay with that.

Uh, guys. Do you know how to surf?

Cause I think we're about to get a hands on lesson!

[all] Whoooaaaa!

[laughter and cheers]

[laughter]

[Hoist] All the Yellow-Eyed Penguins are safe!

And as soon as the storm clears, we can find them a new home.

You Recruits did well, despite all the obstacles in your way,

you used your brains, and got the job done.

-Come back! -Please don't touch that!

Put that down!

We could use a little help in here!

[chirping]

Uhhh... I better get back to the GroundBridge.

I think that was the Rescue Bot alarm.

Huh? I don't hear anything.

Good work, Recruits! Keep it up!
