[CROWD CHEERING]

ANNOUNCER:

Only the hottest racers

have qualified

for this amazing

All-Planet Grand Prix.

The sizzling speed stars are

revved up and ready to rumble.

Dirt Boss is

the all-terrain challenger

in the pole position.

Hotshot has stunned the crowd

in the qualifying races.

And Override is

the returning champion.

Bad boys

Crumplezone and Ransack

bring their unique wild style.

With veteran racer Breakdown

rounding out the pack.

Go, Hotshot! You rule!

JOLT: Coby! Shh!



Huh?

Careful or they'll find out

you're human.

Huh? Oh...

Sorry. I got carried away.

ANNOUNCER:

The first light is on.

You can feel the tension.

There's the second light.

They're revving their engines.

And there it is!

They've dropped the hammer!

The most awesome

racing machines

on any star system

are jetting down the speedway

and it's pedal to the metal

all the way.

Who will defy

the Diablo Desert,

the most punishing

land course ever devised,

to reign as grand champion

of Speed Planet?

COBY:

All right.

Hotshot's out front.

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTING]

I'll never let Prime

defeat me again.

BRIMSTONE:

He's still in a foul mood.

[LAUGHS]

That Autobot did make him

look pretty bad.

Mm-hmm.

[GRUNTING]

How did...?

Very well, Megatron,

if you insist.

[GRUNTS]

MEGATRON:

Just when I had defeated him,

he combined with

that Lion Bot.

His Savage Claw mode

caught me by surprise.

Ah, yes. Optimus Prime. Hm!

Your old opponent

has gained new power.

Observe, Undermine. The true

warrior does not admit defeat.

Uh, yeah, right.

Hmm. I'm almost fully

recovered.

[CHUCKLES]

You're not ready

for battle yet.

If you fight too soon...

What, you think

I'll lose to Prime?

No, I'm not saying that.

[THINKING]

I'm just thinking it.

Prime will demolish you,

which is just fine with me.

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTING]



Get moving!

[THINKING]

So they can't wait

to fight Optimus Prime.

Well, in that case...

[♪♪♪]

I've never heard of two Autobots

combining into one,

Vector Prime.

How can this be possible?

I cannot say.

What does it matter

how it happened?

When we combine,

we're unstoppable.

I say we go after

Megatron right now.

Easy, Leobreaker. Let's take

this one step at a time.

All right, if you say so.

[♪♪♪]

I should have reasoned

with Scourge

instead of just

attacking him like that.

Still, now that I've changed

from Overhaul to Leobreaker,

I'm twice as powerful.

SIDEWAYS: Help!



Huh?

Please, it's my friend!

He's stuck under a rockslide.

Can you help me?

Where is he?

This way.

Call for assistance, please.

We need a lot of help!

Optimus!

[♪♪♪]

ANNOUNCER:

The Speed Planet racers

are pouring it on.

Oh, no!

I can't get any traction.

[GRUNTING]

Hotshot's out of control.

We worked on that technique

so hard. What happened?

Hotshot, ease off

your throttle!

Coby? Jolt. What the heck are

you guys doing here?

COBY [LAUGHS]:

We had to come and help you.

You guys are in so much

trouble! But thanks.

[SIGHS]

Huh?

JOLT:

What's the matter?

Look up ahead. What's that?

ANNOUNCER:

The racers are now entering the

most savage part of the course,

the Quicksand Zone.

If they stay on hard-pack,

they'll survive,

but if they slip into a vortex,

they're finished.

If it gets any hotter,

my tires are gonna melt.

Yeah, wish we had

a cool wind right now.

Hey, the wind is picking up.

It's more like a sandstorm!

[BOTH SHOUTING]

This pit stop

is the pits.

"Wish we had a cool wind

right now."

Never wish for wind

in the desert.

It happened 'cause

I wished for it?

Wow. Hey, now I'm wishing

for a paved highway

and a t*nk

of atomic super fuel

that can make us go

times as fast!

Um, uh, it doesn't seem

to be working.

Just clam up

and get moving.

Now I'm wishing for

a new partner.

[♪♪♪]

Ha! Eat my dust,

race babe!

There it is! Dirt Boss has

just pulled into the lead!

With his super tires

and rugged design,

Dirt Boss has a powerful

advantage here.

He's out-pacing

Override and Hotshot.

If he gets ahead of me here,

I'll never catch up.

I can't afford to

go around this vortex.

My only chance is to jump it.

It's do or die.

Let's go!

Coby, do you see him?

He can't be doing

what I think he's doing.

COBY:

I think he is.

Power Jump!

ANNOUNCER:

Unbelievable!

That Hotshot is

one gutsy competitor.

Either that,

or he's just plain crazy.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

He went this way.

Must be deeper

in the canyon.

I hope we can save him

from that rockslide.

[CHUCKLES]

I think they call this

a collision course.

[LAUGHS]

The message was from

Optimus Prime,

challenging me to a battle.

So be it. I accept.

[THINKING]

Optimus Prime doesn't

issue challenges.

Someone is deceiving him.

But who?

[WHISTLES, THEN LAUGHS]

I thought

I was in the clear!

I mean, I didn't

even see this trap.

Jolt, you've gotta help him!

I'm on it.

Ah! The sand's

getting into my rotors.

I can't fly through it.

Stay back.

Maybe I can climb out.

[GRUNTS]

It's no use.

Help's at hand, kiddo!

Grab my hand!

[GRUNTING]

Hotshot! Hurry!

Come on!

Give it up. You're gonna

fall in yourself.

I don't care.

I can't reach that far,

Breakdown.

Then we'll just have to find

something...you can reach.

I've got it.



[WHIMPERING]

Huh?

Come on!

What are you waiting for?

Just a little more.

One last pull. Come on, kid.

No one can match me out

in this desert. Wait a minute.

Blue boy's in trouble?

Maybe I should help him out.

[SNICKERS]

All right, let's rock!

Cyber Key Power!

[♪♪♪]

[CHUCKLES]

Which one should I blast?

How 'bout both.

[CHUCKLES]

[GASPS]

What's Dirt Boss doing?

DIRT BOSS:

You're both out of the race!

Now!

Back at ya!

[YELLS]

[PANTS]

You okay, kid?

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

Thank goodness.

Whoa!

Come here, you little bug.

Huh? What? Oh!

Override!

[SIGHS]

Well, he's out of here.

Thought you could

leave me in the dust?

This is my turf,

race girl.

No one does rough terrain

like me. Later!

We'll see about that.

Tires, lock in.

All right, fire 'em up.

And go!

[♪♪♪]

What the--?

Later!

You're finished!

That your best sh*t?

[SCREAMING]

Triple-flip wheel att*ck!

[GROANING]

Dirt Boss

is in trouble!

[GROANING]

He's gonna be mad!

Blasting me while I'm down?

No, we were sh**ting

at Override.

He's not

a very good listener.

[WAILING]

Ransack, Transform!

[♪♪♪]

Crumplezone, Transform!

Help me, I'm stuck.

Now he wants our help.

Wasn't he just

sh**ting at us?

Let's let him

rust here.

Good idea.

[♪♪♪]

Who's there?

[♪♪♪]

SCOURGE:

You challenged me to combat?

I accept your challenge.

What are you talking about?

SCOURGE:

I received your message boasting

that if I met you here,

you would vanquish me.

Vanquish?

Lost your nerve, is that it?

En garde!

[THINKING]

Whoever loses, I win.

Optimus Prime, Super Mode!

[♪♪♪]

So you are

challenging me, huh?

Undermine, Transform!

[♪♪♪]

Snarl, Transform!

[ROARS]

UNDERMINE:

Cyber Key Power!

SNARL:

Cyber Key Power!

I'll destroy you!

BRIMSTONE:

Cyber Key Power!

[ROARS]

Backstop, Transform!

Hm? He's the one who led us

here. He set us up.

[♪♪♪]

It is I

who will vanquish you!

Optimus!

It was a trap! There's only

one way to defeat them now.

We've got to link up

and combine our power.

Optimus Prime!

Leobreaker!

[THINKING]

At last,

our moment of destiny.

When Optimus Prime

joins with my beast power,

a new ultimate warrior is born!

A warrior without limits,

who can crush every enemy,

turning devastating defeat

into overwhelming victory.

BOTH:

Savage Claw Mode!

This bodes well

for my triumph.

Prepare for your doom!

OPTIMUS:

Cyber Key Power!

[♪♪♪]

Not today, Scourge!

[BATTLE CRIES]

Autobots, let's go!

My liege, are you okay?

I am a warrior,

I am used to battle scars.

[♪♪♪]

That was true combat

with a worthy opponent.

But when we fight again,

I shall be the victor.

[LAUGHS]

That's it?

Well, it was

mildly entertaining.

[GASPS]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[GROANING, GEARS GRINDING]

You're slowing down.

Go on ahead.

No way. What was that thing you

threw me in the vortex?

Don't remember.

Wait a minute.

That was a belt

for your cooling system,

wasn't it?

What if it was?

[WAILING]

Breakdown!

I knew it.

You can't race in the desert

with a bad cooling system.

Why'd you do it?

When I was in danger,

you saved me

even though you knew

you'd get in trouble.

So when you were

in danger, well,

I had to return the favor,

didn't I?

Yeah, but you're hurt.

Forget me. Just get back

in the race.

[GROANS]



I won't leave you.

JOLT: Hey, Hotshot!



Hmm?

Hotshot, you better get moving.

The others are catching up.

Breakdown's hurt.

I can't just leave him here.

Breakdown's too big

for Jolt to lift,

and I don't know

what else we can do.

No way.

We're finishing together

if I have to carry you

to do it. Come on.

I don't think so.

Nice try, though.

Breakdown!

You're not racing

for fun, kid.

The whole universe is in danger,

you told me that yourself.

That's true.

I'm on a vital mission.

You're going to put

that mission in danger

for an old hunk of iron

like me?

You don't need

to come in first today,

but you need to cross

that finish line

so you can continue

your mission.

You can't do that

pulling me along with you.

Now hit the sand

and don't look back.

They'll send a rescue squad

for me later.

I've been through worse,

trust me.

Don't you get it, kid?

This is my chance to help

with something that matters.

Now get!

[♪♪♪]

I won't forget this.

Ah, well. There'll be

other races, I guess.

And next time, I'm coming

in first! Woo-hoo!

[♪♪♪]

ANNOUNCER:

The hottest race car,

Override!

She's coming down

the home stretch.

And the winner is...

Override!

[CROWD CHEERING]

ANNOUNCER:

Crumplezone and Ransack also

crossing the finish line,

and Breakdown has just been

located by a rescue crew.

Say, do these two

look familiar to you?

[MINI-CONS WHIRRING]

LANDMINE [CHUCKLING]:

Oh, Optimus is gonna love this.

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTS]

Right, your friend's buried

under a rockslide, huh?

Careful, you're going to

scratch my finish.

OPTIMUS:

He'll scratch a lot more

than that.

VECTOR:

He's with Megatron.

Is that true?

Against Megatron!

I'm against Megatron!

You think

you can fool us again?

Could you back off a little?

I'm allergic to cats.

Huh?

Look, I'm a special agent,

okay?

Here's my ID.

[♪♪♪]

[ALL MURMURING]



BACKSTOP: He's an Autobot?

I've been trying to tell you

that. I'm undercover.

You're not the only ones

fighting Megatron, you know.

Undercover?

I doubt it.

Cybertron's getting closer

to the black hole.

If Megatron nabs

the Cyber Planet Keys,

our home world is doomed.

That's why

I went undercover,

to get up close

and personal with Megatron.

You're going to need

my inside information.

Hmm.



Optimus Prime.

Sorry, gotta run.

I'll get back to you.

Stay tuned!

I'll stop him.

No. Let him go.

[GROANS]

Landmine, what happened

in the Grand Prix?

Is Hotshot okay?

He didn't win,

but he finished the race,

so we can continue

the mission.

So he pulled through, huh?

Who was his racing coach?

Uh, well, we've been meaning

to tell you about that.

[♪♪♪]

OPTIMUS:

Coby?

I didn't mean

to disobey orders,

but Hotshot really

needed me.

Coby's been very helpful,

Optimus.

Coby! I've been lookin'

high and low for you,

but I didn't think you'd left

the planet. Get back here!

[WHIMPERS]

Jetfire,

I've kind of got a request.

You think Coby

could stay here for a while?

Huh?

What do you got in mind?

HOTSHOT:

I didn't win today.

I finished the race,

but the desert

almost finished me.

You told me to remember

that I was part of a team.

[♪♪♪]

You're right,

I can't do this alone.

But the team's got my back.

When I need friends,

I know I've got the best.

And that includes Coby.

Hm!

Coby has done as much as anyone

else to help me get this far.

Let him stay.

Well, when you

put it that way...

Looks like you're in.

Wow, how cool is that?

Just remember, Coby, you're

one of us now, so stay strong.

I will. I'll show you

what us humans are made of.

Ya with me, partner?
