[GRUNTING, GROANING]

Fixit! We need intel on a canine Decepticon with a damaged audio receptor.

Fast!
[GROANING]

On it, sir! Silverhound, he's an enforcer who worked for Thunderhoof.


[BOTH GRUNTING, GROANING]

Whoa!
[SNARLS]

Whoa!
[ROARING]

Stay!
[ROARS]

BUMBLEBEE: Get your stasis cuffs out, Cadet! I can't keep him down much

[CHATTERING]

Uh Oh, this is a disaster And it only gets worse!
[TIRES SCREECHING]

No problem, Sir.


- Target neutralized.


- Yeah.

Sure is.

Not only have the humans seen him, they've heard him talk.

Explaining this is gonna be impossible.

Lieutenant, requesting permission to make impossible explanation! STRONGARM: Isn't he amazing, folks? Just one of the marvels in "If Dinosaurs Could Speak," the incredible new exhibit here at the fair, opening tomorrow at the Science Hall! Okay, say goodbye, buddy! Uh Oh, uh, goodbye, buddy.

I'm a robot that talks and looks like a handsome dinosaur.

STRONGARM: Yeah, I covered that.

Here we go, come on.


[SIGHS]

I'm afraid after yesterday's incident, we have to make a change to our mission protocol.

Grim, you can't go on missions in public with us anymore.

But I didn't do anything wrong! STRONGARM: Sir, we've been dealing with situations like the one we faced today since we came to Earth.

And we've been very lucky.

But we're running out of cover stories.

I'm sorry, Grim.

Our presence on this planet must remain a secret.

And we keep running into trouble because we just can't disguise you.

Aw
[FEET CLANKING]


[SIGHS]


[FIXIT ON COMM]

: Autobots! To the command center! Police report unusual acts of vandalism within a small radius in Crown City.

Multiple sightings of an insignia carved into the exterior walls of auto parts stores, car dealerships, garages Quillfire Since Steeljaw freed him, maybe Quillfire will lead us back to the other escapees.

Let me go grab my trailer and we can get goin'! Sorry, Grim, but my order stands.


- Huh?
- Let's rev up and roll out! No problem! I'll just get back to my target practice.

You never know when you might be att*cked by barrels!
[WHIRRING]

Oh, I've looked everywhere for you.

You must not have been looking too hard.

'Cause apparently, I'm not that hard to spot.

Bumblebee is incorrect, Grimlock.

You're not impossible to disguise.

We simply haven't tried hard enough to find you a disguise.

Let me show you something Next.

Forget it.

This is pointless.

We're never gonna find one that's right.


[COMPUTER BEEPS]

Huh? Ooh!
[TIRES SCREECHING, ENGINE REVS]

BUMBLEBEE: Looks fresh.

STRONGARM: Sir, look! QUILLFIRE: My brothers in arms, we must hurry, lest the tools of the revolution be taken from us!
- STRONGARM: Who is he talking to?
- BUMBLEBEE: Don't know.

I'll go around the block, we'll hem him in from both sides.

STRONGARM: Stand down, Quillfire! You seek to imprison me again? This time your iron
-fisted ruling power shall be met with much greater opposition! Back! Forth! Show the tyrant!
[BOTH SNARLING]


[GASPS]


[BOTH GNARLING, SNARLING]


[WARBLING]

Ah!
[CRASHING]


[WARBLING]

Lieutenant, Quillfire has allied with two Mini
-Cons, I'm encountering strong resistance!
[HONKING]

BUMBLEBEE: Hold on 'til I get there.


[DRONING]


[GRUNTS]

Ha!
[DRONING]

Victory for the cause!
[SQUAWKING]

Yes, Forth, absenting ourselves from this ambush would be prudent!
[CHUCKLES]

You two are learning fast! The next generation of the revolution will be in good hands.


[CLANKING]


- QUILLFIRE: Ah
-ha!
- BUMBLEBEE: Oof!
[BUMBLEBEE GRUNTS]


[ENGINES REVVING]


[WARBLING]

BUMBLEBEE: Ow!
[CRASHING]


[GROWLING]


[STRONGARM GRUNTS]

Whoa! Now for the best part of a revolutionary victory Destruction of the enemy!
[SIREN BLARING]


[GASPS, SIGHS]

We must leave these behind rather than risk capture.

Surely our allies on the Island would agree.

BUMBLEBEE: Island?
[SIGHS]


[FIXIT OVER COMM]

: Fixit to Bumblebee! Lieutenant, do you copy? I repeat, do you copy?
- BUMBLEBEE: Yes I copy.


- FIXIT: Oh, Sir! Am I glad to hear your voice! Quillfire's signal indicates he's still at large, and you haven't checked in for hours! BUMBLEBEE: We're fine, Fixit.

Quillfire hit us with his quills.

STRONGARM: We
-we appear to be surrounded by unoccupied Earth vehicles.


[CLANGING]


[BUMBLEBEE, STRONGARM STRUGGLING]

BUMBLEBEE: There are devices attached to our wheels that prevent us from moving.

Even our drive trains can't snap them.

Attempting to transform to Bot
-Mode.


[BUMBLEBEE, STRONGARM STRUGGLING]

BUMBLEBEE: No go.

FIXIT: The toxins in the quills are probably respensible redonkable responsible.

You may not be able to transform until they wear off! You're in an impound lot?
[STRONGARM GROANS]

How embarrassing BUMBLEBEE: Quillfire mentioned an island with other Decepticons.

That corresponds to what we've heard from other 'Cons lately.

The auto parts he's stealing must be critical to their cause.

Bee, forget your order and let me get you outta there! BUMBLEBEE: No.

We already have one crisis on our hands.

Don't worry, Bee.

Russell and I will come bail you out! Ah, wait we don't have proof of ownership.

They'll never let us drive you out of there.

So we won't say they're our cars! May I borrow your Plasma
-Saw? My power tools are at your disposal, Denny Clay! Help is on the way, Sir! You'll be after Quillfire again in no time! BUMBLEBEE: Good.

He can't be allowed to get back to that island.

I'll call if our situation changes.

Out.

Get dressed.

While we're waiting, we might as well see if your new disguise will hold up in public I don't know, Fixit, Bumblebee was pretty clear he wanted me to stay in the Scrapyard.

That was before he was imprisoned with a dangerous Decepticon still on the loose.

If Denny Clay and Russell can't free the Lieutenant and Strongarm, Quillfire may make it back to his "island.

" If we don't prevent that, and something awful happens as a result, keeping our cover won't have mattered!
- Grimlock?
- GRIMLOCK: I'm gettin' dressed!

[GRIMLOCK GRUMBLES, SHRIEKS]


- I'm not sure this is a good idea!
- You just need to get used to it! Hopefully, that'll happen by the time we find Quillfire!
[SIGHS]


[RUMBLING]

I'm Stan from Crown City Repossession.

Bud and I took a call to pick up two vehicles.


- Let me see the work order.


- Work order
[STAMMERING]

It was repossessed?
[TRUCK HORN HONKS]

Plan B.


[]

Where do we start looking?
[BUMBLEBEE GROANS]

Scrud.

STRONGARM: I can't believe I'm stuck here with a bunch of common criminals.

You won't be here much longer! BUMBLEBEE: Russell, Denny!
[CRUNCHING]


[GRUNTING]


[WHIRRING]

"Bud", we'll need that gate open when we're ready to roll out.

You got it, "Stan.

[BANGS, ALARM BEEPS]

BUMBLEBEE: Nice breakout, Denny and Russell! You know, you'd make excellent Decepticons.

Is that a compliment? STRONGARM: Sir, I just picked up a call on my police scanner.

A silent alarm tripped at an auto parts distributorship near here.

BUMBLEBEE: Inform police that it was a false alarm.

We don't want company.

This isn't working.


[CLANGING]

Ahem.

Please, excuse the traffic delay.

This construction crane was specifically designed to look like a dinosaur, and to help build schools, because everyone knows children love dinosaurs! I'm a Dino

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]


[BEEPS]

Grimlock, local police are reporting a silent alarm alert.

It sounds like something we'd be very interested in.

GRIMLOCK: Quillfire, you are going down!
[GRUNTS]


[YELLS]


[GRUNTS]

QUILLFIRE: Pull him up! I want to see his face as you tear him apart!
[SNARLING]


[WARBLING]


[WARBLING, DRONING]


[GRUNTING, GROANING]


[YELLING]


[WARBLING, DRONING]


[GRIMLOCK YELLS]

Yes! Make him a symbol to all who would challenge the revolution!
[STRUGGLING]


[DRILLING]

Is this revolution cursed? Bumblebee, Sir? BUMBLEBEE: Fixit? What are you doing here?! Oh, never mind! Take cover! We believe Quillfire is in the vicinity!
[TIRES SCREECH]

STRONGARM: Affirmative, he's here! FIXIT: Actually, he fled just before you arrived.

GRIMLOCK: I thought I had him Then I didn't have him.


- BUMBLEBEE: Gah!
- STRONGARM: Sweet Solus Prime! Cool Crane
-Mode, Grim! BUMBLEBEE: You're here too? You could be seen and I specifically said Nobody thought I was anything but a crane! Even you rode right by me without noticing! BUMBLEBEE: Well That was only because Bee Am I a part of this team, or not? Our mission is catching Cons, and if I can't help, I might as well not be around at all! STRONGARM: Sir, we don't have time to argue, Quillfire's getting further away!
[SIGHS]

Agreed, we'll resolve this later.

Denny and Russell, stay here.

If Quillfire is still looking to steal a quantity of auto parts, his next likely target would be only two miles from our current coordinates, a large truck stop.

BUMBLEBEE: Okay.

Grim, you're with us.


- Yes!
- BUMBLEBEE: So I can keep an eye on you!
- GRIMLOCK: Aw
- BUMBLEBEE: Let's rev and roll out! GRIMLOCK: I think I'm starting to get the hang of whoa! At least I didn't fall, right?
[]


[SNARLING]

BUMBLEBEE: Get to cover!
[SQUEALS]


[DRONING]

FIXIT: Lieutenant! I can't leave the cab to assist Grimlock as long as the Mini
-Cons hold the higher ground! BUMBLEBEE: Go, go, go!
[WARBLING]

Is it out? Is it out?!
[FIXIT GRUNTING]

If you would just hold still!
[SQUEALING]

STRONGARM: C'mon, you see me, don't you, you little bucket of gear grease.


[SQUEAKING]


[WARBLING]

STRONGARM: Wimp.

My brothers, your sacrifice for the revolution will not be in vain.

STRONGARM: Primary target acquired! BOTH: Whoa! Tyrants will always find defeat at the hands of the revolution! What about loudmouths getting punched by the hands of the Dinobot?
[QUILLFIRE GASPS]


[SCREAMING]

Good thing I was here, huh? BUMBLEBEE: Bumblebee to Denny, we're on our way to pick up you and Russell.

GRIMLOCK: It's nice to see someone else under there for a change.

BUMBLEBEE: Grim, don't move! Dino

BUMBLEBEE: Looks like you've found the right camo, Grim.

You can accompany the team on all missions again! Fixit found me a disguise I can go on missions I can go on missions The disguise worked and I am a genius GRIMLOCK SINGS: I can go on missions
