- [Starscream] Megatron!
All the Decepticon troops
we abandoned on Cybertron
are making a retreat
under heavy fire,
and they appear to be
returning to join us, sir.
- [Megatron] As I would
expect my soldiers
to do, Starscream.
(laserfire)
- [Starscream] Reward was
reported from the front.
They're following the same
exit route as Shockblast,
but we're suffering
huge casualties
because of that
wretched Energon shield.
- [Megatron] And
where are they now?
- [Starscream] I estimate
they should be arriving
at any second, sir.
- Excellent.
And let's make sure our
boys receive a warm welcome
for a job well done.
- [Starscream] Already
taken care of, Megatron.
I dispatched a team
of technicians to
scan your warriors
once they've docked
here at Cybunicron.
- [Megatron] It's nice to
finally see a little competence
around here for a change.
- Whoa, so this is what
Unicron looks like.
It's incredible
to think Megatron
is in total control up here.
- Come on, guys, let's
check this place out.
- Hey, stop right there!
No one gave you
permission to leave.
- These Decepticons
are useless to us.
- Well, they could always
be used as cannon fodder.
- What is it, Megatron?
- Is there something wrong?
- No, no, it, it's nothing.
- What's that?
I thought I heard something.
- Alpha Q, I understand your
desire to liberate your planet.
However, I believe
if we underestimate
the power of Unicron,
there could be
serious consequences.
My orders are to roll
out with extreme caution.
- Well, would you care to
elaborate, Optimus Prime?
- I'm not really sure.
You see, Unicron is a
far more advanced planet
than Cybertron, and I'm
afraid I can't predict that.
- Unicron will follow
my every command.
There is nothing to worry about.
- I hope so.
- Optimus!
- I'll be right there, Hot Shot.
My priority right
now is Cybertron.
That means I have to
take care of Megatron.
- Okay, but I'll be
right behind you.
- Kicker
- I got a feeling Unicron
is about to come to life.
- Wow, I can't believe we're
in the belly of Unicron.
- Yeah, and I thought for
sure somebody would tell us
this place was off limits.
Are you nuts?
Quit that!
- Relax, Megatron is in
complete control of Unicron.
Nothing's gonna happen.
- You idiot!
We're not even supposed
to be down here.
And if Megatron finds out...
- What's going on?
- I don't know, but I don't
like the sounds of it.
- There you are!
Didn't I tell you
morons to stay put?
- It's only you, Demolisher.
- Yeah, we were just...
- Aahh!
(frightened cries)
- What's going on?
Who's doing this?
- Megatron, stop
it's me, Demolisher.
Megatron, please, I don't
know what's happening.
You've got to help me.
- Unicron!
- All right, listen up,
and listen up good, men.
Megatron put me in charge.
So that means you have
to do as you're told.
Face right!
Oh, (laughs) I'm impressed.
Now let's try another one.
Everyone, face forward.
Oh, this is fun!
How about we try face left?
Hey, you dimwits, can't
you follow orders?
Was it something I said?
This is getting weird.
- What's happening here?
(ominous music)
- Unbelievable!
This is getting too weird.
(Megatron growls)
- Megatron.
(Megatron groans)
So, what just happened here?
- Tidal wave.
- Hey, would you watch
where you're aiming?
- This all started when
you showed up, Shockblast.
- What?
- Would you two blockheads
just knock it off?
Can't you see I'm having a
little trouble with Unicron?
(deep growl)
- Just hang on, Alpha Q.
- Would someone please
explain this to me?
- I was worried something
like this would happen.
- Too late now,
just keep fighting.
- Rodimus!
- What's up, Prowl?
- The docking bay's collapsing,
and our ship's inside!
- Well?
- There's no time to wait
for an answer, Prowl.
We've gotta save the ship now.
- But what about Rodimus?
Oh, no, our ship is toast.
- A little help here?
C'mon, guys, would you hurry up?
- Optimus, you and I both know
who's behind this, don't we?
- Yes, but my main concern
right now is Misha and Kicker.
Ironhide, Hotshot, get
them out of here, stat!
- You can't be serious!
I'm not leaving.
- Oh, no, now how are we
gonna get back to the ship?
- Inferno, take the
Miranda II to the surface,
and we'll take a different
route to meet you on top.
- Roger that.
- Alpha Q, I thought you
could control Unicron.
- Impossible.
We can't.
- So now what do we do?
- Optimus Prime, power link!
Fire one, combine!
Copter two, combine!
Kicker three, combine!
Submarine four.
Optimus Prime,
power link complete.
- Rodimus, sir.
- What's the word?
- It appears Unicron's
out of control,
and we don't know
what's causing it.
- I believe Unicron has reverted
to its base instincts
of survival.
- Anyone speak English here?
- Keep it down and listen!
- Instincts?
- I wish I could
stay here and help.
But my priority right now
is to ensure the
safety of Cybertron.
- You go and I'll stay behind
to take care of Unicron.
- Come on, Optimus.
I say we stay and show
Unicron who's boss
before it gets
totally out of hand.
(suspenseful music)
- Come on, get in, Misha.
It's not safe out here.
What are you waiting for?
Get in.
- Wait Hot Shot, maybe
Unicron is hungry for Energon.
- What are you saying?
- Think about it.
Maybe Unicron needs to be fed.
Every living creature in the
universe needs fuel to survive.
Maybe it needs Energon.
- Yeah, makes sense.
- Question, Optimus.
I was just wondering
if I could make use
of a few of your Omnicrns.
- Yes, but why?
- I'd really like to
explain, but there's no time.
- All right.
Inferno, issue a
deployment order
to the Omnicons
on the Miranda II.
- Is it time for action yet?
I'm bored.
- Hey, you mind not butting in
on Optimus' business for once?
- You mind not kicking?
- Let's go!
(all yell as they jump)
- Miranda II, launch.
- Yes, sir.
- Set coordinates for Cybertron.
Open spacebridge on my command.
- Excuse me, Optimus.
- What is it, Misha?
- Why do I have to
go to Cybertron?
- What do you mean?
- Don't ask me why, but I
wanna stay here with Kicker.
And if you want,
I'll stay on the ship
where it's safe.
Well?
- Well, I don't know if
it's the wisest decision,
but all right.
Hotshot?
I want you to stay behind
and keep an eye on them.
I'll radio back once
we've landed on Cybertron.
You got that?
- Yes, sir.
- Jetfire, Inferno,
you two come with me.
I might just need your help.
Now let's roll!
- Yes, sir.
- Hey, Optimus, thanks.
(Optimus laughs)
- So, Misha,
I guess, little Kicker needs
you to protect him, huh?
- Yeah, it's something
like that, Hotshot.
- I just can't figure out
why Rodimus needs
all these Omnicons.
- The only thing that
makes sense is that Unicron
is starving for
Energon, and Rodimus
needs the Omnicons to
deliver it for him.
- Yeah, the Omnicons
are the only ones
who can handle raw Energon.
- I hope you didn't
hurt yourself
figuring that one out, Ironhide.
- (laughs) You're
a regular comedian.
- Enough with the smart remarks,
now get your head
back in the game.
We gotta be on our
toes down here.
(laserfire)
- Keep going.
(fast-paced electronic music)
- Man, we bagged
a few Decepticons
with the Energon shield, sir.
Looks like a Decepticon
graveyard down there.
- Don't get too
excited, Jetfire.
We both know there's plenty
more where they came from.
- I'm at the
Cybertron core, men.
Primus didn't
sustain any damage.
- So, Rodimus is
using the Omnicons.
I believe he made
the right choice,
not that I would expect
anything different from him.
- I don't follow, Primus.
- The Omnicons are
originally Autobot
and Decepticon fighters that
Rodimus brought with him
eons ago, Optimus.
- The battle for Cybertron
is not your fight,
brave Omnicons.
You are but pawns in this w*r.
The universe is vast,
and a far greater planet
lies in wait to be
revived with Energon.
And it's you who can
feed this great planet,
that it may come to life again.
- When the Omnicons
departed, both the Autobots
and Decepticons chose to
learn how to live together,
rather than continue to battle.
It was a hard lesson to learn,
especially for Megatron,
who had been programmed to lead.
With total disregard for the
well-being of his troops,
he led the charge to supremacy.
But soon, even Megatron realized
that this was pointless.
Over many generations, both
sides began mining Energon.
And at that time, it was
a plentiful resource.
Soon, they realized there was
no need to battle anymore,
and they eventually evolved
into the Transformers of today.
So, as you can see, Optimus,
I still hold out hope for peace.
But that relies solely
on finding an endless
source of Energon.
- But does such a cache
of Energon still exist?
- Yes, and the Omnicons
know where to find it.
- And what about Unicron?
Does he know?
- There is a new warrior
who will help the Omnicons
in this battle.
- A warrior?
- Oh, man, we can't get through!
- So now what do we do, Kicker?
- Oh, no, we're trapped!
- What if it's an ambush?
- Well, there's no way they're
keeping me cooped up in here.
- So now what?
- We blast them out!
- We didn't even scratch it.
- Why is Unicron doing this?
And if Alpha Q's is
involved, he's dog meat.
- Alpha Q?
I forgot about him.
Hey, Alpha Q, can you hear me?
Well, can you?
- Let go!
Let go of Alpha Q.
- Alpha Q, are you out there?
We're trapped down here in
some kind of passageway,
and we can't get out.
Is there any way
you can help us?
- It's the human, and
he requires assistance.
- But what about us?
- I sense danger.
- Call him, Kicker, call him.
It's the only way we can
get out of this mess.
- Right, I had a feeling
you could hear us.
You've gotta keep Unicron alive.
If you don't,
everything is done for,
including you, Alpha Q.
- Alive!
- Alive!
- Alive!
- What are you babbling about?
- All right, it's opening!
(all murmuring)
- Come on, guys,
get it together.
We've gotta move.
(motorcycle engine racing)
- What's wrong?
- The Omnicons are too
afraid to move, Rodimus.
- Well, it's not
that we're afraid.
- It's just that we
don't have enough energy.
That's all we're saying.
- And, we think we
should turn back.
- Hurry, we're almost there.
- They came back!
- Transform!
- Transform!
- Who's that with him?
(laserfire)
- Okay, here's the plan, boys.
Somehow you've gotta get
Energon into Unicron's court.
Once that's done, I figure
he should calm down.
- But what if your little
plan doesn't work out?
- Just trust me.
- Oh, sure, trust a
human, that's rich!
- He knows what
he's talking about.
(motorcycle engine racing)
- No, don't fire.
(motorcycle engine racing)
- You hear that?
- Oh, no!
- Transform!
Okay, boys, let's move out.
- Transform!
- It's okay, men,
she's on our side.
Her name is R.C, the
first female Omnicon
to have evolved as
a result of Energon.
You might say she is
their better half.
She organized the plan
in order for the Omnicons
to survive on their
desolate planet.
As her fellow Omnicons
endeavor to mine Energon,
they looked to
R.C. for her drive,
which inspired them
with a sense of purpose.
She is strong in character and
a mighty warrior in battle.
- On your feet!
Let's pull it
together, gentlemen.
- Anything you say, R.C.
- (chuckles) Right.
- Are you the one
they call Kicker?
- Yeah.
- It's a pleasure
to finally meet you.
I must admit, there's
been a lot of talk
on Cybertron about that
special gift of yours.
- My what?
- Transform!
Get on!
I said get on!
- Right, sure.
- Hey, what about me?
(vigorous music)
- What are we waiting for?
- Let's follow R.C.
- [All] Yeah!
- Okay, Kicker, where
exactly are we going?
- We have to reach the
core of Unicron's head.
That's where we have to
feed him the Energon.
So to answer your question,
R.C., just keep going.
Never mind, I'll tell
you when we get there.
The plan is to feed Unicron
some energon to calm him down.
- All right!
Now, hang on, little man.
- What?
Little man?
(exciting rock guitar music)
This is it!
- Okay, boys, open fire.
- It stopped up a queue.
- Yes.
- Its belly is full.
- I hope this is over.
- [Group] We all hope so.
- It couldn't get any worse.
(victorious cheering and yells)
- (laughs) We did it little man.
- Hey, what's with this
little man business?
I'm not your little...
- What are you doing
kicking me for?
I didn't do nothing.
- Stand down.
You know, Rodimus, we
are getting a second
chance at peace.
Peace could be possible today,
if only if there
were enough Energon
to satisfy all sides in
this bitter conflict.
- Help!
Somebody help me!
Get me out of here!
I'm doomed, I tell you, doomed!
- What a snack!
- (laughs) So, you were
just hungry, Unicron?
Well then, if that's so,
let your appetite build.
Because I have something
that will satisfy your craving.
For your main course, I'll
serve you planet Cybertron.
