03x06 - The Dead End

[bunniefuu]

- They're coming!

(Cheering)

Scrap! The parade is starting!

- Platinum! Platinum! Platinum!

- Oof! Hey!

- Ha-ha!

- Oof!

(Effort grunt)

(Impact noise)

Woohoo! Yeah!

- PLATINUM! PLATINUM!

Go, Platinum!

(Pained grunt)

Ugh, I hate parades.

Whoa!

Huh?

(Annoyed grunt)

(Charging cry)

(Clang!)

(Impact groan)

(Fighting noises)

Now we're talking.

♪ More than meets the eye ♪

Wake up...wake up wake up!

This isn't real!

(Pained groans)

- I'm trying to watch the

parade!

Forget the parade, Lockdown!

We gotta get out of here!

I'm the one who needs to get out

of here.

♪

- Beryllium!

- Beryllium's not here!

You're not here! I'm not here!

I-I mean, I'm here, but I'm not!

Huh?

(Crash!)

Argh!

(Laughter)

Ha-ha, you boltheads!

Heh heh, that's pretty funny.

Oh!

But that didn't happen!

♪ Parade music ♪

- This song rocks!

- Listen, bolthead -

to get outta here,

you gotta transform!

Transform?

(Effort noises)

Woah, look!

Megatron is Grand Marshall!

- ME-GA-TRON! ME-GA-TRON!

- Yes! YES!

- ME-GA-TRON! ME-GA-TRON!

Fine, be that way.

I give up.

Whoa! What's happening?

Ugh!

No luck, huh?

Lockdown is such a bolthead.

Everyone loves a parade.

Hot Rod.

(Sigh)

Nope, didn't get anybody

out of their Loop, Perceptor.

I believe you can double

your chances of success.

I've located a second

Cortical Psychic Patch.

With it you can both enter

the Loop at the same time.

- That's Shockwave's old lab.

- We're on it.

♪ Parade music ♪

Lockdown, did you see that?

- Clobber disappeared.

(Laughter)

(Sigh)

She said to get out of here

you have to transform...

Decepticon: They're coming!

Woah...

What?!

Wha!

Hey, Lockdown! Wake up!

Oh.

I hate this.

I thought the parade was bad,

but--

Wha!

Oof! Shadowstriker?

(Effort grunts)

Soundwave?

(Effort noises)

(Panting)

Wha! Whoa...

They even got Megatron.

(Roar!)

(Sigh)

Gotta get off the street.

Hmmm.

This place is creeping me out.

- I'm leaving.

- No. We're both staying here

until we find this Cortical

Psychic Patch. Understood?

Okay...

- Uh...you hear that?

- No.

Keep looking.

(Clang! Thud!)

Hmmm.

Shockwave used to experiment

on me with this.

Got it! C'mon, let's go!

-Are we good?

-All clear.

What?

(Impact noises)

Clobber, you okay?

Dead End!

I saw you at the parade.

I did what you said

and I transformed.

You got out! Hot Rod!

I got one out of the Loop!

- The Loop?

What are you talking about?

The Loop IS the parade.

Back off Hot Rod.

Did the Autobots do this to us?

(Angry growl)

(Impact grunt)

(Effort grunt)

(Fighting grunts)

(Effort grunts)

(Boom!)

(Gasps)

Here they come.

What are they?

Get inside!

(Scared wailing)

Dead End!

(Frightened grunt)

Okay, I think we're all right.

No thanks to you.

Didn't we stop you

during the battle for Cybertron?

No. But almost.

(Struggle grunts)

Hot sh*t: I did run

into some problems

while trying to save the world.

But I survived.

(Struggle cry)

I crawled my way back up to

Cybertron's surface.

And when I did...

It was too late.

The Quintessons had already

taken over.

I watched them,

trying to figure out where

they'd taken everyone.

And then I found Perceptor.

He told me everyone had been

trapped in a false reality

he called, "The Loop."

Perceptor devised a way to hack

into the Loop.

So we could free everyone.

And I mean everyone.

Autobots and Decepticons.

It's us against the Quintessons

now.

Good luck with that. I'm going

to stay away from those things.

(Impact grunts)

(Thud! Bang!)

Too late for that.

(Quintesson roar)

♪

- You have led all the

Quintessons straight to us. Now

we're trapped. Good work.

Hello, Dead End.

- Uhhh, hello.

(Crash! Thud!)

- We need a way out of this

place!

- I'll make one.

- Uh, are they comin' in or

what?

- No they are not.

- Woah!

- Quintessons aren't welcome

here, but you are!

- Maccadam?!

- You all look like you could

use some Energon!

- I can't believe you're still

here!

Oh, yes. I'm still here.

For now.
