I'm not sure what I'm more pumped for, today's mission,

or finding out which one of us is in charge of it!

You really think Heatwave was serious when he said

one of us would be team leader for the day?

Totally! And you don't have to guess who.

It's obvious who the leader-iest leader here is!

Nice of you to say so, Hot sh*t.

It'll be my honor to lead you all.

What? I was talking about me!

[laughs] What if it's not either of you?

Well, I know it's not me.

Heatwave already told me my role.

I play the human who needs rescuing.

Wow, that sounds hard. How do you even know what to do?

Research. I've been practicing

highly accurate "human-in-peril" simulations.

[clears throat] Help. Help.

My name is Timmy, and I have fallen down a well.

-Ooh, I'll save you! -I'm coming!

Hey! Back up Hot sh*t, I'm leading this rescue!

You back up, Wedge!

And get your pistons out of my blasters!

Whoooaaa!

Don't worry, Timmy, I got you.

[sighs]

Guys, guys! No need to argue.

You'd both make great leaders.

Maybe you could be in charge... together!

-[scoffs] As if. -No thanks.

I mean it! Hot sh*t. You're a great athlete!

And Wedge, you always keep a level head under pressure...

You'd make a great leadership team!

-[door opens] -Hoist is right!

Heatwave! Uh, I am?

-[both]Really? -Yep.

And that's why I'm making you leader today.

-What? -But... but...

Interesting.

Leadership's more than just rescue skills.

It's also about helping the team work together and get along.

Like Hoist was doing.

So come on recruits let's get started.

Really? Me? Leader?

Don't stress it. You'll be great for the job.

I believe in you. And so does Heatwave!

Thanks, Whirl.

I just wish I believed in me!

[Medix] Help, help, I have never been so scared.

I may pass out from terror.

There's your mission, recruits.

Medix is trapped on the ledge of a deep and narrow ravine.

Figure out how to rescue him,

then work together to bring him back.

I bet you have a really great idea

of what we should do, right, Hoist?

Um... well, I'm kinda new to this whole "leader" thing.

So, maybe you could give me some pointers, Sir.

Sorry, Hoist.

There's an emergency I need to go help with.

This is what training is for, practice.

Just take charge.

And the rest of you, listen to your leader!

[engine roaring]

Well... I do have this one idea.

And it might be okay. It might even be kinda good.

Go on. You got this!

Right. I mean, only if everyone else

thinks it might be worth a try. Let me fly it past you.

Ah, great idea, Hoist!

Really? But I didn't even finish.

So here's what we'll do! You said fly, right?

I'll transform into my jet plane form,

then zoom down and save Medix.

♪♪

Um... was that your plan, Hoist?

Not even close.

Please hurry. I don't think I can hang on much longer.

Um, wait, Hot sh*t!

I think there's a problem with this idea...

Exactly! How is he going to save Medix

in his vehicle form?

He needs hands, my hands! Wait up, Hot sh*t.

What? No, that's not the problem.

[engine roaring]

Wedge? What are you doing? Uhh!

Uh-oh... I'm not gonna fit!

That's what I was trying to tell you! You have to pull up!

♪♪

I... uh... can't!

Oh! It's the weight. Wedge needs to move back.

Really? Then tell them!

What if it doesn't help? I mean...

Ohhhh! I'll do it then!

Wedge! Step back along Hot sh*t!

What? Why?

[Whirl] Just do it! Move toward his tail!

♪♪

Wedge! You almost made me crash!

Well, if you were a better flyer...

Oh, guys, no, don't argue!

Anyone could see you wouldn't fit!

-Well not with you on my back! -[whistling]

Medix needs our help, remember?

[Medix] Won't someone please rescue me

from this terrible nightmare?

I'm just a poor, helpless child

with his whole life left to live.

Look. Hoist's in charge today.

And I bet if we just listen to him,

he has a really excellent rescue plan! Right?

Um, yeah! At least, um...

it's an okay plan. I'll just dig into it.

Yes! That's perfect, Hoist!

Right...

Except he didn't actually say his plan yet.

Well sure he did! Here's how it works:

I use these to dig down to Medix! Nice thinking, Hoist.

[hammering]

But I didn't...

[deadpan] Oh me, oh my, will no one save me?

-[rumbling] -I will!

Whoa... ow! [grunts]

-[gasps] -Wedge is hopeless at this!

He needs my help. I'm going after him.

Uh... I'm kinda worried that there's a bigger problem!

Ah... whoa!

It's ok. I'm here now!

But we don't need you! Get back in the tunnel!

No, we don't need you! You get back in!

-Get back in the tunnel! -You get back in!

Guys! All that tunneling and pushing

is gonna break the ledge.

They're not listening! We have to do something.

-Huh? -Oh, Primus!

The ledge is gonna break!

-Whirl, quick, transform! -On it!

[all] Aaaaaahhh!

[grunting]

Whoa, Huh!

[grunts] All of you together are too heavy!

[straining] I'm not sure I can fly us back up!

Oh, I've been saving my favorite one

for a moment just like this.

[clears throat, Southern drawl] Hay-ulp. Hay-ulp.

This is all jus' too much for poor l'il ol' me.

I fear I may swoon.

Oh, 'swoon' is an antiquated human expression for fainting.

Impossible for a bot, of course

but quite appropriate for the situation,

were I indeed a human. Whoa!

This is all your fault, Wedge!

You got us into this, Hot sh*t!

What a disaster!

If Hot sh*t and Wedge had just listened to me,

we wouldn't even be in this mess.

I guess it's gonna take a team leader to get us out of it.

It was your pistons that did it!

Well if you hadn't turned into a jet...

[shouts] Hey! Enough! Listen!

I'm in charge of this mission, and it's time to follow my plan!

-You tell 'em, Hoist! -Finally.

Ok. First, we need a line.

-[action music] -Hooo... ya!

Right!

Now here I come! Uh... yaaaaaa!

I'm going to hook you, Whirl.

But that means you have to stop your rotors,

or my cable will get tangled in them.

If Whirl stops her rotors,

won't we all just plunge to the bottom of the ravine?

[together] What?

[deadpans] Oh, calamity. We're doomed, I tell you. Doomed.

Wait. Are we actually doomed?

Not if we time it perfectly.

And that means you all have to do exactly as I say,

exactly when I say it! Are you ready?

[all] Ready!

Let's do this, Team Leader Hoist!

Ok, here goes...

Hot sh*t, fire your blast gauntlets

and keep f*ring them!

Hey... good idea, Hoist!

Nice! Now Whirl's in range of my other tow cable!

Wedge, your turn.

Hold out your arms and use your power drivers.

Whoa... smart thinking!

It's working!

Temporarily by my calculations,

Hot sh*t and Wedge have enough power to hold us here

for another... six seconds.

And then... [dramatic voice] We're doomed!

Not yet! Whirl, stop your rotors!

[cracking]

[all scream]

Phew! Got ya...

Way to lead Hoist! We're saved!

But... now what?

Yeah, how do we get back onto land?

Simple! Just fire one blaster towards the far wall, Hot sh*t.

Line up with the tunnel... and let go!

Ugh!

Now... if you climb back up and reel me in,

I can do what I was planning in the first place--

pull you up with my main tow line!

You did it! I knew you'd have a great plan, Hoist!

Yeah... but we didn't.

We didn't even give you a chance

to be a team leader. Sorry, Hoist.

That's ok. Heatwave told me being a leader

means taking charge.

But it took me a while to realize

that a big part of that is speaking up.

I see you completed your training exercise, recruits.

And that someone was an excellent leader.

Yeah! Wait'll I tell you all about how Hoist took charge!

You'll leave out the best parts! Let me tell it.

What? No way!

Ahem. I think Medix should tell the story.

After all, we did make him wait

down on that ledge the whole time.

And dangle him over a bottomless drop into a ravine.

This I gotta hear.

[bad Southern accent] Well, it all started

when I was stranded on that dangerous cliff.
