NARRATOR:
The w*r between the Autobots
and the Decepticons rages on
as they struggle to retrieve
the prized Mini-Cons.
The side who wins is the side
that collects the most.
And if the Decepticons
prove victorious,
then Megatron
and his corrupt Mini-Cons
control the universe.
The Earth's only chance
for a peaceful cosmos
is for Optimus Prime
and the Autobots
to destroy their enemy.
Now get ready
for a new battle.

RAD:
Ah, life in the big city,
where every day
there's another traffic jam
or a Decepticon
causing trouble.
And that's exactly
what happened
just outside our city
on the mountain freeway.
Wait till you see
what happens next.

( both grunting )
My Star Saber
is undefeatable.
( grunting )
This isn't over yet,
Scavenger.
Totally awesome.
Wicked cool.
And I'll bet
you didn't realize
that sword is the most powerful
of its kind in the universe.
FRED:
So I guess
that makes Hot Shot
the most powerful Transformer
in the universe, right?
Hmm, I don't know
about that.
Of course it does, Carlos.
Ha, ha, ha.
You're absolutely right, Billy.
And if I keep working at this,
I'll be numero uno.
Hot Shot, we've got work to do.
Let's move out.
Oh, yeah, right.
Especially since Scavenger
joined up with the Decepticons.
Remember?
( sighs )
Yeah. But don't you worry,
I'll get even.
Possessing the Star Saber sword
is useless
unless you're able to maximize
its full power.
Would you get off my back,
Red Alert.
I've got things
under control.
Yeah, we've been watching him
practice and he's pretty smooth.
And don't forget,
we're here for backup, okay?
That includes me.
Hey, and don't forget me.
Hey, that's
really nice of you guys.
It's good to know I've got you
all covering my back.
But I've got a score
to settle with Scavenger.
RAD:
We all knew
it was kind of lame
offering to back up
Hot Shot.
I mean,
we're just a couple of kids,
and he is one of the greatest
warriors in the universe.
I guess it's the thought
that counts.
( alarm blaring )
OPTIMUS:
Alexis, coordinates. Stat!
ALEXIS:
It's coming
from Grid Sector .
Ah! The signal
is from the freeway tunnel.
What?
HOT SHOT:
Looks like we're back
in business, Autobots.
SMOKESCREEN:
Ha-ha-ha. Yeah!
Mini-Con, here we come!
Heh. So is my backup ready?
FRED: Yeah! All right!
Hey, you guys,
where do you think you're going?
We promised Hot Shot
that we'd cover him
in battle, Alexis.
A promise is a promise.
But you're just gonna
get in the way.
Come on.
Hot Shot needs us.
They're just coming along
for moral support.
Well, I guess
she does have a point.
Well, what do you think,
Red Alert?
Mm-hmm.
It's settled then.
They can come along,
but, Hot Shot,
they're your responsibility,
understand?
HOT SHOT: Yes, sir!
Now let's roll.
ALL:
All right!
I've got a bad feeling
about this.
DEMOLISHER:
This is the most
useless assignment
I have ever been ordered
to carry out.
Ha. Stand guard
over a deserted tunnel.
CYCLONUS:
Aw, quit your bellyaching.
( upbeat theme playing )
( whirs )
What the--?
Are you sensing Autobots?
You better be right
this time.
( Blackout chirping )
Cyclonus! Get ready!
We're about to have visitors.
And here they come now.
You know what to do,
Cyclonus.
Would you relax,
Demolisher?
( tires screeching )
( Megatron chuckling )
Lucky for us Scavenger is here
to do all the digging.
Don't you think, Starscream?
Otherwise you'd be in there
getting your hands dirty.
Right.
There's no way
you'd catch me
playing in the dirt like that.
SCAVENGER:
If I had known
I'd be the only one
doing all the work
down here,
I never would have left
Cybertron.
Ah, yes, but think
about the reward
that awaits you, Scavenger.
Your very own
personal Mini-Con.
DEMOLISHER:
Megatron, bad news!
The Autobots are closing in,
and fast!
Keep them busy!
SCAVENGER:
Now I can take care of
a little unfinished business.
No!
You keeping digging, Scavenger.
We mustn't let anything
get in the way of our mission.
Transform!
( Cyclonus laughing )
CYCLONUS:
That should keep those loser
Autobots busy for a while.
( Cyclonus laughing )
RED ALERT:
Gridlock dead ahead, sir.
HOT SHOT:
And look! It's Cyclonus!
SMOKESCREEN:
That means we must be close.
It also means the Decepticons
haven't found the Mini-Con yet.
And wouldn't you know it,
a traffic jam.
Don't worry, Optimus,
I've got an idea.
Jolt, powerlink!
OPTIMUS:
On your guard, Hot Shot.
HOT SHOT:
Don't worry about me.
I can take care of myself.
I've been waiting for you,
Hot Shot.
OPTIMUS:
Billy, Fred.
Sorry,
but it looks like things
may start to get
a little dangerous out here.
I think it's best if you
stay put up here for a while.
Aw, gee whiz.
( grunts )
BILLY:
But I thought
we were backup.
Yeah, well,
you can back us up from here.
Oh, and stay put.
Boy, this really bites
bigtime.
Well, I told you we should have
gone with Hot Shot.
But, no, you wouldn't listen,
would you, doofus.
BILLY & FRED:
Huh?
SIDEWAYS:
You looking to hitch a ride?
I've got room for one,
but that's it.
Hey, B-Billy,
that bike--
Talked to us.
Wait a sec.
Autobot or Decepticon?
CYCLONUS ( snickering ):
Oh, goody-goody!
HOT SHOT:
You're going down, Cyclonus!
( suspenseful theme playing )
Hey, Hot Shot, are you sure
you know what you're doing?
Don't sweat it.
We're riding with the number one
Transformer, remember?
ALEXIS: Watch out behind you!
Hmm?
ALEXIS:
You've got company, guys.
Hot Shot!
HOT SHOT: I see him.
No problem, I got it covered.
Well, do something
and do it quick.
He's gaining on us.
HOT SHOT: I'm on it.
Transform!
Transform!
( suspenseful theme
continues playing )
HOT SHOT:
Star Saber!
Your battling days are over!
Ha, ha. I like a bot
with a sense of humor.
CARLOS:
Uh, don't look now, Rad,
but any minute this whole place
is gonna be littered
in chunks of titanium.
( grunting )
What's the matter?
Are you afraid of me?
Or are the batteries going dead
in that little sword of yours?
( beeping )
ALEXIS: Rad! Come in, Rad!
Huh?
Alexis. Hey, what's up?
ALEXIS:
Tell me what's going on
out there.
We got us a Transformer
showdown.
Go for it!
OPTIMUS: Rad, transmit visuals.
Right.
I hope you're getting this.
OPTIMUS:
Yes,
but I don't like what I see.
ALEXIS:
Rad, link in Red Alert
to your video feed, stat.
RED ALERT:
Got it.
CARLOS:
Come on, Hot Shot! Smoke him!
How come
they're just standing there?
SMOKESCREEN:
Good question.
SMOKESCREEN: Look!
Oh, no, what'd I do now?
SMOKESCREEN:
Optimus, there's the tunnel
dead ahead, sir.
OPTIMUS:
I see it. All right.
Red Alert, Smokescreen,
follow me.
We're going in.
RED ALERT: We have a problem.
OPTIMUS: Hot Shot!
RED ALERT:
A Decepticon
is locked on to him.
And it's Cyclonus!
OPTIMUS:
Hot Shot, listen up.
Retreat at once.
( Cyclonus laughing )
CYCLONUS:
Oh, joy!
This is as easy
as sh**ting bots in a barrel.
( Cyclonus laughing )
Heads up, Hot Shot!
Hey! He's right behind you!
I know, I know.
But there's no way
I'm gonna turn my back
on Scavenger.
( snickering )
CYCLONUS:
You're history! Ha-ha-ha!
( Scavenger gasps
then Hot Shot grunts )
You idiot!
That Autobot was mine!
Unh!
Hot Shot, no!

Huh?
BILLY:
Help! I'm being kidnapped! Help!

Billy!
( grunts )
Now what?
Can't I destroy him in peace?
( Scavenger grunts )
He's a Transformer,
but I don't know
if he's a good guy or bad!
So, what do we do?
OPTIMUS:
Hmm, a motorcycle, eh?
That's strange.
I wish I had an answer
for you, Rad,
but I don't recall a Transformer
like that.
But right now our priority
is retrieving that Mini-Con.
Grindor, Sureshock, High Wire,
stay here with the kids.
( Mini-Cons beeping )
Come on.
Let's follow them, guys.
( beeping )
( panting )
Save me.
RAD: Yeah, right.
Who's bright idea was it
to get on that bike anyway?
It wasn't my idea, I swear.
So, what happened to Fred?
BILLY:
Fred? Oh, no.
I left him back
at the bridge.
Billy?
Man, whose side is he on?
Now what's going on here?
Huh?
CYCLONUS:
Ah, a moving target.
Ooh! I love moving targets.
( Cyclonus laughing )
Time to short circuit that
annoying little buzz rocket.

CYCLONUS:
You gotta be kidding.
( Cyclonus groaning )
I'm hit! I'm hit!
And I'm going down!
( Cyclonus screaming )
( engine revving )
Well, that takes care of him.
Now, where was I? Oh, yeah.
It's just you and me,
Scavenger!
Yeah! You show him
who's boss, Hot Shot!
ALEXIS:
Hey, guys, fill me in.
How about a status report.
ALL: Huh?
Oh, and I brought our Mini-cons
just in case.
Uh, yeah, and thanks a lot
for ditching me back there.
Try it again,
and you guys are history!
( screaming )
Bring it on!
Unh!
Hey, what are you doing?
( both grunting )
That moves getting old,
Scavenger.
SCAVENGER:
Then how about this one?
( both grunting )
( Hot Shot groans)
Was that move a little more
original for you?
( grunts )
Why, you...
( chuckling )
Having fun yet?
Now, hand over
your toy sword, soldier.
CARLOS:
Are you okay, Hot Shot?
RAD:
Come on, please, say something.
( suspenseful theme playing )
What's the deal
with that motorcycle?
It's like the only thing
he's interested in
is Hot Shot's battle.
Yeah, it's weird.
And it doesn't make
any sense.
RAD:
Come on, Hot Shot.
Don't let that oversized CPU
scare you.
I've gotta think
of something. Huh?
That's it!
( grunting )
Transform!
Hey, come back here!
Transform!
Come on! Remember,
we're still his backup.
( suspenseful theme playing )
Ha-ha-ha. You can run
until your circuits overheat,
but you can't hide.
HOT SHOT: Oh, you think so, huh?
Well, give it your best shot,
scuzzy breath!
FRED:
Hello?
Rad? Carlos? Billy?
Anyone?
Hey, they heard me.
I guess
they must need my help now.
Hey, guys, it's me!
Over here!
( tires screeching )
FRED:
Hey, wait, where you going?
( whimpering )
Remember me?
I'm Billy's friend!
( grunting )
I warned you
not to get in my way!
MEGATRON:
Put your back into it,
Demolisher,
and dig out that Mini-Con!
I'm trying! I'm trying!
Enough of your insolence,
you pathetic overgrown excuse
for a warrior.
Oh, I really hate it
when he yells at me like that.
You will never get past me,
Autobots!
( grunting )
We'll see about that.
( both grunting )
HOT SHOT: Coming through!
Hot Shot!
HOT SHOT: Don't worry, Optimus.
I'm just causing
a little diversion.
RED ALERT: You need any help?
HOT SHOT: Help?
HOT SHOT:
Hey, who's got the sword
around here?
Oh, now what? Unh!
Do I have to do everything
around here myself?
Cyclonus! Return
to your post immediately!
HOT SHOT:
That's it, keep following me.
Transform!
I'm counting on you, Jolt!

SCAVENGER:
Wait a minute.
Where did he disappear to?
Uh-oh,
I think I smell a bot.

You know,
for a great warrior,
you're not half as tough
as you think you are.
So just keep out of my way
or else.
( chuckles )
HOT SHOT:
What's so funny?
I was laughing
at your incompetence.
You may have won
this little skirmish,
but you're still
a rank amateur.
So don't let this victory
swell up your power core,
because I'm not finished
with you yet.
Hide behind your little sword,
but remember this.
You don't have what it takes
to use it to its full potential.
Oh, yeah?
You're just a waste of wires.
( Scavenger laughing )
( grunting )
Ugh! Hey, come back here!
( dramatic theme playing )
( chuckling )
He sure told you, didn't he?
( laughing )
You know, for someone
who's afraid to show himself,
you sure think you're pretty
tough, don't you, punk?
I'd sure like to show you
a thing or two.
But the problem is
I'm on your side,
and I wouldn't wanna
beat you.
( thinking ):
Oh, man,
what's the story with this guy?
MEGATRON:
Any word yet from Scavenger
or Cyclonus
as to their whereabouts?
DEMOLISHER:
No, sir, not yet.
Because of those two bots,
we'll have to retreat.
DEMOLISHER: But, sir--
So then, you haven't had
enough digging yet?
Well, maybe we should withdraw.
MEGATRON:
We'll meet again, Optimus Prime.
OPTIMUS:
Stop!
Go ahead and run, Megatron.
But the day will come
when there will be no place
to hide from the Autobots.
RAD:
Optimus! Over here!
Is everybody okay?
I was really starting to get
a little worried about you guys.
Oh, I suppose
you're gonna tell everyone
you defeated Scavenger
all by yourself, huh?
Uh...
( upbeat theme playing )
( chuckling )
OPTIMUS:
It seems
we owe you one, friend.
But first,
who exactly are you anyway?
Transform!
( upbeat theme playing )
Back on Cybertron,
they call me Sideways.
I guess I'm a bit
of a drifter.
Maybe that's why I'm here.
SMOKESCREEN:
Optimus, sir!
I've found the Mini-Con!
Whoa, check it out.
Cool.
This is so incredible.
( all gasping )
( beeping )
( gasps )
( thinking ):
There's something strange
about Sideways.
( upbeat theme playing )
BILLY:
Whoa!
How come Billy gets to ride
all the time?
BILLY:
This rocket rocks!
Hey, Optimus said we're supposed
to be taking turns, you know!
Aw, man,
this really stinks bigtime.
( Mini-Con beeping )
Huh?
The Mini-Con said
he'd take you for a ride.
Yeah? Seriously?
Okay, transform into something
super cool, all right?
Boy, just when you think
you've got a fan club,
they up and leave you
high and dry.
Oh, don't worry, Hot Shot.
You must remember
they're only human.
And probably
in a couple of days or so,
they'll be
all over you again.
Hey, Red Alert, you think
Sideways is on our side or what?
I'm not sure.
But we've got much bigger things
to worry about than that.
Remember, everything
becomes clearer with time.
( dramatic theme playing )
Hey, how come you're not
outside with Sideways?
Hmm. There's something
about him that bugs me.
I hate to admit it, Rad,
but I'm getting the same vibe.
I guess I'm a bit of drifter,
and maybe that's why I'm here.
Why would a drifter
wanna come all the way to Earth
and get involved in a w*r?
No idea.
Well, I think we should
keep this to ourselves,
and I hope we're wrong.
But let's keep our eyes peeled
just in case.
You having fun, Fred?
Just remember,
it's my turn next, okay?
Hey, Carlos, if you really want,
you can have my turn.
Where's the bathroom?
RAD:
It seems every day
our side is growing,
which is good news
for the Autobots.
Yet I still can't shake
the feeling
that not everyone on our team
can be trusted.
But is it just a feeling?
