03x04 - Primal

[bunniefuu]

Predaking, please listen to me.
I'm going to say this very carefully.

Victorion doesn't have the
Enigma of Combination.

He speaks true.

He lies! Everything on Cybertron
is trying to destroy everything else.

I must have the Enigma in order to
survive the coming apocalypse.

I'm starting to like that
giant pile of bolts.

Except when he was
trying to squash us.

We're trapped!

And Megatron's abandoned us!

Damn you, Megatron!

- Megatron?
- Where are you?

Betrayer!

I knocked, but no one answered.

The door was open. So...

Well, it's been great chatting, but
I just came to borrow this. So...

You need to leave here, now!

I intend to, my friend.
As soon as I...

Leave here now or
face the consequences.

You know, there's something
about the arrogance in your voice.

The air of annoying superiority.

You remind me of
someone I used to know.

A suckerpunch?

You definitely share his
ability to piss me off!

You were warned.

That's exactly something
he would say!

This is your final warning!
Begone or die!

Not before I take this.

Were you aware that's one of your
larger, more sensitive circuit clusters--

These idiots are with me, Predaking.

Stand down.

I no longer take orders
from you, Megatron!

Now give me the Enigma
of Combination! She has it!

Victorion doesn't have
the Enigma, Predaking.

It was stolen from her.

However, when we find
it, I'll let you know.

I'll be waiting, Megatron.

You've found it?

I've heard the legends of it.
Studied writings about it.

But I'd never, in all
my many cycles...

thought I would ever
be in its presence.

Is that the key to
stopping Megatronus?

It's a start.

At least we found Megatronus's
w*apon before he could.

And now he can't add it to
his collection of artifacts.

But we still don't know what
he plans to do with the artifacts.

Perhaps a clue to his master
plan is closer than we think.

Is that another one of
your scientific hypotheses...

or just more wishful thinking?

Neither, Megatron.

What are those?

These etchings seem to indicate
coordinates located within Cybertron.

It roughly translates to "Toward
infinity from the center of the center."

That where we going next?

- "We?"
- "We?"

The answers you seek will most likely
be found in the Athenaeum Sanctorum.

The Athenaeum Sanctorum is the
mythological library of the gods.

Built to store all their
combined knowledge...

before there was even
such a thing as time.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised
to find out that it's apparently real.

Wait, who are you?

This is the bot that's protecting
the Requiem Blaster for...

longer than he can remember.

My name is Optimus Primal.
