That's it!

You've toyed with me enough.

Now it's time

for you to pay!

BUD:

Oh, man.

Just when we found Jolt!

No way!

I won't let you!

KIDS:

No, Jolt! Don't!

Fine.

I'll just take you back.

JOLT:

Come on, guys!

Right!

Nice one!

Awesome!

Huh? But how?

So the little screwball

can warp, huh?

Well, they say

I'm pretty warped, myself!

[CHUCKLES EVILLY]

Good.

It worked.

We got away.

At least for now.

Everyone made it.

That was just

awesome, Jolt!

Thanks, but I couldn't have

done it without you guys.

If you hadn't untied me,

I wouldn't have been able

to spin my rotors

and open that warp.



No problem, Jolt!

Anytime you need us,

we're there!

[MINI-CON CHIMES]

Right on, Lori.

You guys rock!



That's right!

Now on to the next part

of our plan!

Wait... What was

the next part of our plan?

Oh, Bud.



[SIGHS]

You forgot already?



[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]

What are we going

to do with you?

You were going to

deactivate

the electromagnetic shield

around this ship

that's blocking communications

and then contact Optimus Prime.

Yeah!

You're too laid back,

Bud.

Yeah,

I know.

It's one of

my strong points.

Yeah,

I'm sure you do.

COBY:

Anyway, let's get

this plan in gear.

We have to locate

the shield control system

and then

shut it down.

LORI & BUD:

All right, let's go!

[♪♪♪]

SCATTERSHOT:

Nothing!

I can't find any trace

of Coby and the others.

You can't track the carrier wave

from their communicators?

No, that's what

"nothing" means!

Sorry,

Vector Prime.

I'm just upset

that we can't find them.

[GRUNTS]

Even if we just had even

a small clue to go on.

I sympathize

with your frustration,

but we must be patient.

SCATTERSHOT:

I know, I know.

It's just hard.

We just have keep searching

and trust that our efforts

are not in vain.

We owe Coby and the others

that much.

SCATTERSHOT: Right.



Right.

[♪♪♪]

[WEAPONS f*ring]

[BOTH GRUNT]

[LAUGHS]

Beautiful!

Take this!

[BOTH GRUNT]

Let's heat things up!

[GRUNTING]



[SCOURGE CHUCKLES]

Hold still, already!

[SCOFFS]

Yeah, right.

He's mine!

Missed me!

[YELPS]

All right,

all I have to do

is find the Omega Lock

and get the funk out of here.

[YELPS]

[COUGHING]

Aaarggh! That's it!

Forget this!

I am so out of here!

But I can't!

If I go back to Screamer

without that Omega Lock,

I don't even want to think

what he'll do to me!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Wait a sec.

I know just what to do.

And all it'll take

is one little phone call.

[GROANS]

Where is she?

Starscream,

I have some news

that I'm pretty sure

you're gonna flip over:

I've managed to steal

the Omega Lock.

Excellent, then bring it

to me immediately.

Yeah, about that,

here's the part

you're not gonna like too much.

It's not gonna be

that easy...

I'm gonna need a little help

getting it there.

[SIGHS]

I knew I couldn't trust you.

All right, fine,

I'll be there in a minute.

Thanks, boss.

Bah!

I'm surrounded

by incompetence.

Well,

if you want a job done right,

you have to do it yourself.

[♪♪♪]

JOLT:

Just a little further, guys.

Hey, wait!

Hmm?



What's wrong, Bud?

Nothing,

I just had a thought.

We know where the system

control is, right?

Well,

yeah, Bud.

That's why

we're heading there now.

So then why aren't we

just warping there?

Hey, that's a good point!



That's a good point!

So what do you say,

Jolt?

Sounds like a plan.

[WEAK WHIR]



Oh, no.

Huh?

Huh?

What's the deal?

I don't know,

but I can't warp!

[GASPS]



Why?

What's

the problem?

SIDEWAYS:

Aw, he can't warp?

So sorry.

I created an energy field

that stops all warping onboard.

After all,

I had to do something

to keep you brats

from escaping

after what you did to me,

didn't I?

I told you

you were gonna pay.

And this time,

there's no escape.

[CHUCKLES SINISTERLY]

Now, let's get down

to business, shall we?

COBY:

Run!

Didn't I just say

there's no escape?

[KIDS GASP]

Ah-ah-ah.

Man.

A dead end

is not good news.

Didn't you download a map

of this entire spaceship

to your communicator

thing, Coby?

Yeah, but it's not like

I had time

to memorize the whole thing.



[GROANS]

Hey, if we download it

to Jolt's memory,

he can look at it

right away.

Yes, if I have the data,

then I can use it

to navigate our way

through the ship easily.

[MINI-CONS CHIME]



Great,

but first, we've gotta

get past Sideways.

Yeah, but how?

So are the little boys and girl

ready to give up?

Uh... Listen,

you have to distract

that big oaf, you got it?

How am I supposed

to do that?

Do a little

tap dance?

Whoa! Behind you!

It's Megatron!

[SCOFFS]

I'm not gonna fall

for that trick again.

Oh, wait!

It's not Megatron!

It's Optimus Prime!

[SARCASTICALLY]

Oh, no! Optimus Prime?

Gee, I'd better completely

let my guard down and look.

Good job.

Now for a little surprise...

Like I'm gonna fall for that.

I'd have to be a complete--

COBY: Quick, go!



[SIDEWAYS SCREAMS]

[ALL PANTING]

Hey!

Come back here!

What did you do

back there?

Well, earlier

I had programmed

the ship's

fire extinguishing system

so I could control it

remotely.

Don't get me wrong, Coby,

I'm glad you did it,

but why did you ever

think to do that?

It's just like in the movies!

Coby's a gadget-head.

They love to do anything

just to see if they can.

LORI:

Then why don't you help

with my homework?

COBY:

Lori! Not now!

[♪♪♪]

You're done, Megatron!



[GRUNTS]

I don't feel done.

What power!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

LEOBREAKER:

We're evenly matched!

OPTIMUS:

You're right.

If we're gonna defeat him,

we'll have to have

a better strategy than he has.

Which means that we have to

switch up our tactics.

LEOBREAKER:

Right. let's do it.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Come back, cowards!

You won't get away!

Now's my chance!

Hey!

[GRUNTS]

Another enemy?

[GRUNTS]



[YELPS]

[GROANS]

What is the meaning of this,

Thunderblast?

Forgive me!

I was ordered

to att*ck you, sir...

and if I didn't comply,

I would have been destroyed!

And who gave you this order?

I-I... I can't say.

Hmm...

[♪♪♪]

Starscream.

I should have known

you were behind all of this.

What are you talking about?

Don't try to play me for a fool

twice in a row, Starscream.

I already know all about

your cowardly little plan.

I'm telling you,

I don't know what you mean.

Come off it!

You sent your underling

to att*ck me!

Because you didn't have

the guts yourself.

Ha, I could defeat you easily.

Then prove it.

Come down here

so I can take care of you.

ING SABER:

How 'bout we take care of

both of you?

[BOTH SHOUT OUT

BATTLE CRIES]

But first things first.

We gotta power up

into Sonic Wing Mode.

OPTIMUS:

With this extra power,

we'll be more than a match

for you, Megatron!

WING SABER:

That's right!

Forget about holding

your own in this battle!

This time, you're taking

the express train to Loser-ville

OPTIMUS:

Oh, please. "The express train

to Loser-ville?"

WING SABER:

Lighten up, will ya, Prime?

OPTIMUS:

Here's a taste

of real power!

[GRUNTS]

Pathetic. I don't have time

for this nonsense.

[SCOFFS]

Course not.

You're too much of a coward.

Now...let's finish this!

Oh, wow, that worked out

better than I hoped.

Sometimes I even surprise

myself. Tee-hee!

[♪♪♪]

BUD:

If we could just warp,

all our problems would be over

in a couple of seconds!

Or we'd be up to

our eyeballs in problems.

What?

He means that

if we could warp,

so could Sideways.

COBY:

This may take longer,

but at least

Sideways isn't popping up

in our way all the time.

JOLT:

That works for me!

[♪♪♪]

[GASPS]

[LORI & BUD GASP]

All right,

according to the map,

we should be in this section,

the engine room.

Man, it sure looks like

it's seen better days.

Well, it has.

Remember

that big expl*si*n

when we were onboard

before?

BUD:

Oh, yeah!

COBY:

I'm actually impressed

that it looks this good

after going through that.

LORI:

What's so impressive?

I thought this ship had

a self-repair system.

COBY:

Yeah, but this looks like

it's being done by hand.

Hey, Jolt,

what's the story.

I believe

the self-repair function,

well,

isn't functioning.

Wait.

I've got it.

Sideways must be the one who's

doing all this repair work.

Are you really just

figuring this out now?

[SARCASTICALLY]

Sorry.

But maybe we use this as

a way to get rid of him.

That's a great idea.

If we damage

his repairs,

he'll come running down here

and right into our trap.

Course...

As a gadget-head,

I hate to ruin

this machinery.

But I guess it's worth it.

[♪♪♪]

MUDFLAP:

I can't believe this!

I can't trust

the Decepticons anymore,

but I can't return

to the Autobots, either...

What am I going to do?

I sure made

a mess of things.

I hear ya, brother.

It's like, wherever you go,

there you are.

I wonder whatever happened to

that Starscream cat, anyway...

What was Megatron

talking about?

Wait, what's this?

RANSACK:

Whoa!

This is just what I need!

A nice battle

will take my mind off

that annoying encounter

with Megatron.

And besides,

when is it ever a bad idea

to crush some Autobots?

[CHUCKLES SINISTERLY]

[SHOUTING]

Oh, man! Autobots,

and now Starscream!

Time to do what

we do best: run!

[TIRES SQUEALING]

STARSCREAM:

Go ahead, cowards.

I'm happy to take on

just the Autobots.

[CHUCKLING MANIACALLY]

Destroying these losers

should really brighten my day.

So hurry up, Autobots.

It's time to defeat you.

On the contrary, Starscream!



Yeah..

Sorry to disappoint you,

Decepti-goon,

but we were

looking forward

to pounding you

into the pavement!

[SHOUTS]

Yes, normally I spread joy

and good cheer wherever I go,

but in your case, I think a

butt-kicking is more in order.

[GRUNTING]

[SHOUTING]

[GRUNTS]

[[CHUCKLES MANIACALLY]

HOTSHOT:

Thundercracker,

it's all over!

Ha! You Autobots

are becoming more of a joke

every time I run into you!

And you're not even

a good joke.

Now for my new

ultimate att*ck:

The Triple-spinning

Laser Widowmaker!

[ALL GROAN]

[THUNDERCRACKER

LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

Hey, Thundercracker!

Huh? Starscream!

Starscream!

I'm on it!

With all of us

working together,

it should be

easy to take him down!

[GRUNTS]

I've been looking forward

to this!

Everyone together now!

Glad to do it.

[GRUNTS]

Pointless.

[SHOUTS]

THUNDERCRACKER:

That's right!

Run off with your tail

'tween your legs,

you yellow-bellied

fraidy-cat!

[LAUGHS]

And don't come back!

You're next.

I guess I should've

run away, too. Whoa!

[♪♪♪]

JOLT:

Behind these doors is

the machinery

that's jamming

the communications system.

COBY:

Which means

that's where Sideways is.

JOLT:

I believe so.

LORI:

Are you sure

about this, Coby?

I know we have to get in touch

with the other Autobots,

but Sideways knows that

we have to come here

if we want to do that.

He's probably

in there waiting.

I know. That's why

we have to give him

a reason to leave.

Like this one.

[ALARM BLARING]

Another malfunction

in the engine room?

Slag it!

This is the crummiest

evil hideout ever!

COBY:

I knew it would work!

It worked better

than I could've hoped.

JOLT:

Just wait till he sees

the next part of the plan!

It'll knock him

off his feet!

All right,

what's the problem?

huh?

Aw, now that's just mean!

[GROANS]

Those little

obnoxious brats!

Huh?

The garbage chute!

Nice try, kids, but

I'll just warp out of here...

I say,

I'll just warp out of here.

Oh, no!

That's right!

I set up that field so no one

on the ship could warp!

[YELLING]

Huh?

[GROANS]

COBY:

There!

I'm hooked into

the system.

Now we should be able

to contact the Autobots.

[OVER RADIO]

Breaker, breaker!

Heh, heh.

I always wanted to say that.

Any Autobots out there

hearing this?

Is that Coby?

Coby!

Where are you?

What is going on!

COBY:

Awesome!

You are there!

We're all here.



VECTOR: Where are you?

COBY:

We're in the Atlantis

spaceship by the moon.

What?

How did you get there?

LORI [OVER RADIO]:

Starscream is using Atlantis

as his hideout!

BUD [OVER RADIO]:

Sideways was keeping us here

and trying to

get into Jolt's memory.

But we took care of him.



Excellent work.

Hold on.

We'll be there soon.

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTS]

VECTOR:

Optimus Prime!

Huh? What is it?

We've located Coby

and the others.

They're safe for the moment,

but we must hurry!

Understood.

[GRUNTS]

First...

Wing Saber,

you keep Megatron busy.

My pleasure!

Let's open a warp gate!



Right.

[♪♪♪]

Atlantis! Of course!

Vector Prime,

take Scattershot and Red Alert

and bring Coby

and the others back.

I have unfinished business

to attend to.

Come. Coby and the others

are counting on us.

Yeah!



Yeah!

Hey, Ransack! Do you

wanna steal a starship?

Oh, yeah!

Time to face the blade,

Mega-flop!

[SHOUTS]

You feeble buffoon...



Wing Saber!

Sonic Wing Mode!



Already?

We've wasted enough time

on Megatron.

We've got to get rid of him and

concentrate on the black hole!

WING SABER:

All right, Prime,

we'll play it your way,

but I'm tellin' ya,

I had him on the ropes!

OPTIMUS:

Uh-huh..

[SHOUTING]

Now where were we,

Megatron?

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Why do they care so much about

those annoying kids anyway?

I think they know stuff about

that Omega Block thingie.

So if we told Megatron

where they are,

we'd get a big reward.

RANSACK:

Maybe even make us

co-rulers of the universe!

We could crush

anyone we wanted!

Or have your people

do our crushing for us!

Oh, Ransack.

You used to be

all about the crushing.

Now look at you.

Stay back.



Never!

RANSACK [ON RADIO]:

Boss! We got info

about that Elmyra Lock!

So, uh,

can we be co-rulers now?

What? Where are you now?

RANSACK:

On that rickety old starship.

The one by Earth's moon.

Really...

I'll be there shortly.

No way, Megatron.

You're not getting away.

Defeating you

will just have to wait.

But don't worry, your time

will come soon enough.

If he's going to Atlantis...

The children!

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

I'm sick of Megatron

and those meddlesome Autobots.

Time to move this spaceship

to a place

neither will ever find.

[CHUCKLES]

[SHOUTING]

Sideways,

prepare the ship for warp.

[GROANS]

Where is that buffoon?

Sideways!

Another useless bot.

As usual,

I have to do

everything myself.

[SPHERE CHIMES]

BUD:

Do you feel that?

What's going on?

LORI:

Oh, no.

Is that

what I think it is?

Yeah, it feels like the ship

is about to go warp.

This is bad!

Who could be doing this?

Did Sideways

come back?

I don't know, but we have

bigger problems.

if this ship warps,

then the Autobots

won't be able to find us.

Whoa,

this is bad.

I know.

That's why I just said that.

We still

have time left...

But just three minutes!



No way!

All right, we have to

get out of this spaceship

as fast as we can!

BOTH:

To the escape pods!

VECTOR:

Only a few minutes remain

before the ship goes to warp.

It's imperative that we

find Coby and the others

before it does.

We will.

CODY:

Bud, you go in that one.

Good luck.



BUD: Don't worry about me!

I'm doing that enough

for both of us.

I've tracked Coby's signal

to an escape pod.

We'll meet them all

outside.

We're on it!



We're on it!

Ugh! Too late!

It's going to warp.

[GRUMBLES]

LORI:

We're about to warp.

I can feel it.

COBY:

Come on, space pods.

Get us out of here!

[MOANS WOOZILY]

[GRUNTS]

That's twice!

I've got you!

[GRUNTS]

[BUD, JOLT, & REVERB

SCREAMING]

The other pod.

It didn't escape

the warp field.

It's too late to save

Bud and the others.

No!

No!

Bud, no!

Please tell me

this isn't happening.

[GRUNTS]

[♪♪♪]

VECTOR [OVER RADIO]:

The second escape pod

was caught in

the warp field.

If only we had reached

the Atlantis

a few minutes sooner...

You did everything you could,

Vector Prime.

Don't worry.

We'll find them.

Priority one, team:

We must find Bud, Jolt,

and Reverb at all costs!

ALL:

Right!

[♪♪♪]

Yes, Safeguard.

I'm worried

about them too.

We gotta help get Bud back.

This is just

eating me up inside!

I know.

How do you think I feel?

I told him to ride

in the other escape pod.

But don't worry, we'll

find him, 'kay?

Mm-hm.

We'll never give up

until we do.

[MOANS WOOZILY]

I can definitely say

this is not

one of my better days.

Great.

Trapped in this ship,

and we don't even know

where we are!

We'll just take over the ship

and warp home.

Just five more minutes,

Mom.

I promise

I'll make the school bus.

JOLT:

That's amazing!

How can he sleep now?

[TALKING IN SLEEP]

Wait! Come back!

Put more whipped cream

on the sundae...

[SIGHS, SNORING]



JOLT: Sleep well, Bud.

[REVERB CHIMES]

JOLT:

Hopefully when you wake up,

we'll be rescued...

Hopefully.
