02x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

Auxiliary thrusters!

- Negative!
- Guidance systems!

Working on it.

I… I think I know what's happening.

Before we exited the rift,

we acquired an…
an unbelievable amount of data.

Teletraan- is using
every available resource

to make sense of it.

- But until it does...
- We're stuck.

The Dead Universe
really lived up to its name.

This is crazy.

The Allspark's somewhere down on that rock
and we can't get to it.

At least we know the Decepticons
are having the same problem.

They haven't moved a micron
since they came through the rift.

Yeah, but like Prime says,

"A wounded predator
can be the most dangerous."

Where is Prime?

Anything?

The Matrix remains closed to me.

He'll never stop k*lling
to achieve his ends.

He has to be stopped.

I was foolish
to believe Megatron could change.

Heed your instincts, Optimus.

You don't need a Matrix to be a hero.

Thank you for your counsel, Bumblebee.

Ironhide, I see you have
the comms back online.

- Yeah, but we have a new...
- Prime…

I thought their weapons were down?

They are.
That was their tractor beam locking on.

What can they do with a…

All hands, brace for impact.

Prime and his fellow cowards
abandoned ship.

Or they've lured us
into this enclosed space for an...

att*ck!

Let me go!

Why run, Prime?

You're only prolonging the inevitable.

Is that all?

Not even close!

Last words?

Forgive me.

You're not going to k*ll me.

It's not in your nature.

I've seen what is to come,

the countless horrors
you have yet to inflict.

I can end it here

before it begins!

Is this what your Matrix has commanded?

This is my choice!

The cycle ends here!

And now with one terrible act

to prevent a billion more.

Now, tell me you forgive me.

Optimus?

What are you doing?

Get out of here, Cog!

Well, it's about time!

I know that ship.

Good.

You're all together.

Doubledealer. No surprises there.

Yes!

Per your agreement with Megatron,

I order you to get us off this ship

and destroy the Autobots.

What the…? What are you doing?

Whose side are you on?

Mine.

Agh! That maniac's gonna k*ll us all!

Well then, don't just stand there!

We have to get these weapons back online!

I don't understand.

This place should be swarming.

- Maybe we got lucky.
- We'll proceed as planned.

Keep the comms open and adapt as needed.

It's completely empty,

like they're just waiting
for the next batch.

Yeah, still quiet out here, too.

I don't know where Megatron went,

but maybe he left with the whole family.

It's just the eye of the storm, Jetfire.

Do not let your guard down.

OK, Decepticons…

Where did you go?

All alive, mighty Megatron.

We can negotiate terms face-to-face.

All I need to know
is where you want to take delivery

of this Optimus Prime
and his Autobot crew.

Optimus.

Jetfire, tell the Guardians
to begin their as*ault.

What? Guardians?

- We don't have...
- Fine.

Patch me to Omega Supreme,
and I'll give the order myself.

Cloaking tech, Shockwave?

Impressive, isn't it?

You're into hiding,

I'm into fighting.

The Allspark waits
on the planet's surface,

but only for one of us.

I am going down to that planet

to get what we came for!

No, I will retrieve it

to keep you from abusing its power
and enslaving our world!

What I did,

I did for Cybertron!

You cannot save a world
while murdering its people!

Hound, reroute auxiliary energon
to the forward disrupters.

We need to amplify our distress call.

Soundwave,

do you wanna survive this or not?

Do it!

Anybody seen Cog?

I need a status on the deflector shields!

Down %.

One more direct hit and we're...

That's it?

We're just going to die here then?

Not if Wheeljack made it.

- This is the last breach.
- All right.

Let's seal it up
before you-know-who takes it out on us.

Ah, I'm telling you,

as soon as we get back
to normal space, I'm out,

just like the others.

I kind of like the new paradigm.

My stealth upgrade
gives me the upper hand, Elita- .

Surrender and call off the Guardians.

Oh, wow.

You believed that?

Think I broke your stealth thing.

That was not my only advantage.

How have you gotten stronger?

You're draining Decepticon sparks

for yourself?

I am surviving the new Cybertron,

which is more than I can say for you!

- What is it?
- I don't...

Hey, are you...

Chromia!

By the Allspark.

No.

By Shockwave.

Mercy!

Please, Optimus.

I beg of you!

That's it.

All reserves have been routed
to the bridge,

but it's not gonna last long.

Your weapons are down!

Your shields are disabled!

Prepare to be boarded.

Who's paying you, Doubledealer?

Payment?

No.

This is payback.

Payback? For what?

For the loss of millennia!

For my solitary exile!

For thwarting my attempt at redemption!

And for the honor
of my fellow Quintessons!

Deseeus.

What do you think of this new face?

Unlike my old faces,

this one doesn't talk back.

Is he even still alive?

He lives as long as I need him.

Give 'em everything we got!

And then let's get back to the Ark.

This place is gross.

Bug Bite, Exhaust,

return to the bridge immediately!

All hands, report.

Report!

Where have you been?

Man your stations!

You don't understand.
We all need to turn around now.

The place is rigged
with a ton of expl*sives.

Yeah?

And which of you is gonna set them off?

They're on a timer.

Trust me, brother, we have to go!

We captured the traitors, Shockwave.

I am on my way.

- Got it!
- Status?

The Fortune's stopped f*ring.
Maybe Deseeus has had enough.

Or he's dead.

Either way,
Wheeljack needs to stop f*ring.

I'm reading a massive breach
to the Fortune's warp actuator.

If one of their blasts hits that plasma…

Tell them to stand down
and get back to the Ark to start repairs.

When that thing blows,

we're gonna want these engines
up and running.

And I just realized.

I'm sorry, Ironhide,

this chair is yours.

Naw, you did great, kid.

And it ain't mine. It's Prime's.

Where is Optimus Prime?

And where are the Decepticons?

Just get those engines up and running.

I'll go look for Optimus.

Get away from the console!

If anyone out there can hear,

this is Cog.

I have taken control
of the mercenary ship.

Cease fire.

Repeat…

…cease fire.

All right, Shockwave is going to...

No! I helped you! Remember?

What did you do to me?

Relax, Optimus.

Or should I say,

"Orion"?

For what reason

would you want the Matrix of Leadership?

You say you have foreseen things.

Well, so have I.

The fate of the entire universe
being in my hands

at the right place and time.

So this is how it ends.

But unlike you,

I do not crave

forgiveness.

Optimus!

Megatron has the Matrix!

And he will soon have the Allspark

if we do not stop him.

We don't have engines,
and that ship out there is about to blow.

- I don't know if we're gonna make it.
- We must.

Or we risk the end of all things.

Wheeljack, do we have thrusters?

Maybe %.

Fire to port.

Put the Nemesis between us
and the Fortune.

f*ring!

Shields aren't responding!

Sir, the Nemesis is pulling away!

They'll rip us apart!

The Fortune's engine core
has reached critical!

Shields!

Divert all power to the shield.
