(suspenseful music)

(agitated growling)

- This is ridiculous.

I'm bored out of

my main frame here.

What's wrong? Your

batteries go dead?

Hm, you're a regular

riot soldier boy.

Hey Mr. Happy! Would

you lighten up a little?

(scoffs)

You can guard me without

being a jerk you know.

- Your mindless taunts

don't bother me Shockblast.

- Whoa, I don't believe

it. You can speak.

So, how did you end up with

the short end of the stick?

- I didn't.

- Yeah, right. You'll probably

get a promotion for this.

I can see it now

"Commander Inferno."

(sinister laughing)

Hey, wait! Where do

you think you're going?

Come back here! You're

neglecting your duties soldier!

(electronic whirrling)

Huh?

(wind lightly whooshing)

(high-pitched electrical blast)

(expl*si*n)

- So...what'd you do that for?

For the life of me I'll never be

able to figure you autobots out.

- Feast your eyes, Kicker!

This planet is

truly magnificent.

It has so well cared for.

Amazing!

This is what we

wanted to show you...

...And show Scorponok!

Except now he's our enemy.

He's fallen into

Megatron's hands.

But at the very least, Kicker...

we can now show you...

And Optimus, who

promised to defend

these planets from now

until the end of time!

(hopeful upbeat music)

(mechanical whirling)

(loud thundering footsteps)

- Whoa...

- Hey Misha, you

can lose the lid.

- Kicker's right. The atmosphere

is identical to Earth.

Probably even cleaner! Huh.

- Ya see?

- Take a breath.

(deep breathing)

(light-hearted giggle)

- I told ya!

(scream)

- Hey, butt out! I was the

one who told her, Ironhide!

- Oh, I'm so sorry,

your royal highness.

- Hey, wait a minute.

- Huh?

- Ya think it's

possible this planet

could be inhabited just

like Earth, Kicker?

- Maybe.

[Misha]- Wow...This

place is like a paradise.

- Sure looks like it.

(birds chirping)

[Optimus]- Inferno,

status report!

- Nothing to report, sir.

[Optimus]- Any

word from Rodimus?

[Inferno]- No, sir. How are

things on your end, Optimus?

[Optimus]- Well, we've

landed on a pristine planet

similar to Earth.

- Excuse me?!

[Kicker]- Hey Inferno, do

you remember Jungle City?

- Yeah, of course I do.

[Ironhide:]- Well, we're parked

on a planet that

looks just like it!

- Wow, I can't wait

to see it, Ironhide.

[Kicker]- Well, I guess

you'll come up here

once Rodimus meets

up with you, right?

[Ironhide]- Yeah,

ya gotta see this!

- Well, the sooner I get

outta this dry, the better.

This is not my idea of fun.

But it won't be long, guys.

- So what's the scoop?

When are we getting out

of this dried up desert?

Hey! Answer me!

(electronic whirling)

He's driving me nuts!

[Megatron]- Shockblast!

- Huh? That's Megatron's voice!

[Megatron]- See what happens

when you try to outsmart me?

(embarrassed stammering)

[Megatron]- Now, here are you

in the hands of the enemy,

simply because you thought

you were better than me.

Well, I suppose you're

getting precisely

what you deserve for

betraying me, you coward.

(nervous stammering)

[Megatron]- And it

saves me the trouble

of having to punish you.

- I don't have to take

this from you, Megatron!

(wind howling)

I get the feeling he's

really gonna leave me here.

Well, I don't need anybody,

especially you, Megatron!

- Hm, and it won't be long

til he comes crawling back.

- I couldn't agree more,

your high-and-mightiness.

I mean, who does he think he

is, defying your superiority?

I believe the first

rule of a Decepticon

is to serve you,

Megatron, without you,

our existence is meaningless.

- Yes, precisely. Now

if only Shockblast

was as perceptive and

loyal as you, Starscream.

[Shockblast]- Megatron!

- Huh?

[Shockblast]- Please! You've

got to get me out of here!

- Oh... Really?

[Shockblast]- I've had a

change of heart, Megatron!

Now just get me out of here!

- Ahh, well, you've

come to your senses.

I suppose I'll help

you... this time.

- Awwww... I don't

have any other choice.

But don't think this

is over, Megatron...

(roaring wind)

- Space debris... from Unicron.

And it seems to be

flying into that void.

(upbeat electronic music)

- Let's do it!

[Cliffjumper &

Downshift]- Transform!

- Looks like this

planet is deserted.

Let's check out the next one.

- Gimme a break. Checking out

every planet one at a time

will take forever,

that's ridiculous.

- It's our job. At

least until we can

make contact with Optimus again.

- There are literally

millions of planets out here,

Downshift, and

it'll take forever.

We'll be here for the rest

of the next millennium.

- You have something more

important to do, Cliffjumper?!

- Man, I'll never figure out

why Optimus put you in charge.

- Huh?

- What's that?

- You just see a flash of light?

- I didn't see anything.

(roaring wind)

- All Autobot

warriors, listen up!

If you've lost your way,

use this flag as your

beacon to guide you.

(joyous hopeful fanfare)

(screaming)

- Decepticons!

(maniacal chuckling)

- Bout time they showed up.

(thrilled yodeling)

- Look, Megatron! There's

only one Autobot guarding him.

[Megatron]- Then

eliminate him, Snow Cat.

- With pleasure, sir!

(high-pitched blasts)

(scared hollering)

- Take this!

(thundering explosions)

(scattered animal calls)

- So, what're you up to, Misha?

Ahh! What is that thing?!

- A dragonfly.

- You're kidding me. It's

almost the size of a - a plane.

- Well, maybe he

got so big because

he chows down on

a diet of Energon.

- There's more to it

than that, Ironhide.

- Huh?

- This planet is nutrient-rich.

It's like Earth, except the

ecosystem is ten times richer,

allowing the animal

life to grow stronger.

- That's why we have to defend

this planet with

everything we've got!

Especially the Energon, because

without it, there's no life!

- I think you've just got it.

- Yeah!

Huh?

- Ironhide, it's

time to move out!

Inferno's under

attack on Iron Planet.

He's flanked by Decepticons.

- They must still be

after the Energon.

- Kicker, you stay

put and scope out

any Energon deposits here.

In time, Megatron will

discover this planet

and we have to beat him to it.

- Yeah, for sure.

- Ironhide, you link

up with Jetfire.

We've got to provide

backup for Inferno.

- You think Scorponok

is with Megatron, sir?

- I don't know. Wing

Saber, let's move out!

- Snap out of it, Ironhide!

- Huh?

- We got work to do!

Now let's link up!

- Right!

- Optimus Prime!

- Wing Saber.

[Optimus & Wing

Saber]- Powerlink!

(upbeat techno music)

- Powerlink complete!

- Ironhide!

- Jetfire!

[Ironhide & Jetfire]- Powerlink!

- Powerlink Ironhide!

(whooshing wind)

- Good luck, guys.

- Yeah...

- I just don't have a

good feeling about this.

(loud expl*si*n)

- Ahh, okay. What

happened to the Autobot?

- I think he's over

there, Snow Cat.

C'mon, let's flush him out.

Here?

Oooh!

(frantic yowling)

- Hey! Aren't we supposed to be

the ones who are

on the offensive?

- Hurry up, Megatron!

Get me out of here.

- Hmm...

- This Decepticon is

not worthy of rescuing.

- Your release is

conditional, Shockblast.

You must first kneel

in submission to me.

- He'll merely betray you again!

- Yes, I think you might

just have a good point there,

Mirage. Maybe we should

re-wire him first.

- No! Wait! I'll make a

deal with you, Megatron!

- A deal?

- Yes, yes! I'll...I'll

capture an Autobot,

as proof of my loyalty

to you, and to you alone.

(disgusted scoff)

- All right, then.

But know this...

fail, and you will be destroyed.

(suspenseful music)

(roaring wind blowing)

(struggling grunts)

- Prowl!

(frightened screaming)

- Landmine!

- Just doing my job, Prowl!

- Focus guys, or we'll

get sucked into that void!

- How long are we gonna

have to go through this?!

- And where are we supposed

to be going, Hot Shot?

- I'm not sure,

but let's find out!

- Wait!

- Now what?!

- Take a look!

- Huh?

Transform!

Ahh, visibility's down to zero!

(struggling labored grunting)

- Open fire, Prowl!

- You got it!

(roaring expl*si*n)

- Transform!

Huh?

Check it out...

- The Autobot insignia!

- Finally a sign of hope.

- You're making a mistake!

- I don't make mistakes.

You know that, Mirage.

Besides, this could

get interesting.

- Huh?!

(disoriented scream)

What?!

- Take that, Autobot!

(fearful screaming)

- Snow Cat! I've got a

feeling Optimus is on his way!

So call in Scorponok and

his Terrorcons for cover!

- Right!

- And Starscream...

- Yes?

- There is no reason to let

Shockblast have all of the fun.

Why don't you go

and give him a hand?

- Right!

- Excellent. Now move out.

I'm ready for you, Optimus.

- Where'd he go? Show yourself,

ya yellow-bellied bot!

I don't have time to

play hide-and-seek.

Okay, if you don't

want to come out,

then I'll bury you alive!

(booming blasts)

Where are you?! I

hate playing games.

(alarm blaring)

- Huh?

- Don't you move!

(suspenseful music)

- Now what?

- Oh, look!

- Inferno, come in! Inferno!

- Huh?

[Ironhide]- Optimus,

Inferno at twelve o'clock.

- Huh?

(pained scream)

- Who invited you

here, Starscream?

- Hey! We're both on the

same side here, Shockblast!

And besides, it was Megatron.

- Well, Inferno, I

believe I'm ready

to begin the interrogation.

- He's not much for words.

- Shockblast! Why

dont you can go up top

and have a little

look-see around.

- Why you...!

- Shockblast! Exactly

what part of that

order don't you understand?

(exasperated sigh)

- Starscream, Demolishor,

Snow Cat, and Mirage

rank above you and I expect you

to follow their orders, soldier.

- And that makes me...

- Just do as you're told! Now

get moving before I get angry!

(exasperated sigh)

- Now, where were we, Inferno?

And please, don't give

me the silent treatment.

I want answers and you're

going to provide them.

That is, if you know

what's good for you.

(mischievous chuckling)

(enthusiastic yodeling)

- Mirage, attack!

- Ugh. Inferno!

Huh?

(shocked screaming)

- Hey! You're Shockblast!

- That's right... boss.

- Huh? Boss?

- Yeah, at least that's

what Megatron tells me.

- Oh, in that case, I want

you to destroy Optimus!

- HUH?

- Uh, I mean... if

that's okay with you...

- I want to know

where the Energon is

all the Energon! And don't

try and play coy with me!

- I have nothing to say to you.

- No...?

All right then,

enough Mr. Nice Guy.

(agonizing screams)

Changed your mind?

Ready to replace that Autobot

insignia with one of mine?

I can't hear you!

(light wind whirling)

[Inferno]- So this is Earth?

[Optimus]- Yes,

Inferno. And I want you

to always remember its beauty.

Planet Cybertron isn't

the only one, you know.

There are many others as well.

(annoyed growling)

(ear-splitting cannon fire)

- Scorponok!

And his merry men.

- Ironhide! They're going

to surround us! Spread out!

- Read you loud and

clear, Optimus-sir!

- Huh?

- Don't worry about

Scorponok. He's mine.

You go help out Inferno, sir.

- Let's do this!

(intimidating growl)

- Okay, Scorponok. It looks

like it's just you and me.

And you're going down!

(agonizing grunting)

- Having fun yet? If you'd

like, I can turn it up a notch!

Or you can tell me where

the Energon is fool.

- Never!

And you...

Can't make me!

- Huh, Surely you remember

Scorponok switched his

allegiance, and now this

is your opportunity!

Cross over and join

the Decepticons,

while you still can!

- Hey! Scorponok! What

made you jump ship?

Doesn't Alpha Q mean

anything to you?

- Alpha...

(ear-splitting agonizing shriek)

- My one and only

leader is Megatron.

- Inferno!

- Halt!

- None shall pass by me!

- Can you feel the

transformation?!

Soon you will be a

Decepticon, Inferno!

- Sorry but I shall remain an

Autobot until the end of time!

- Hm, Wanna bet?

(ear-splitting agonizing shriek)

[Ironhide]- Boy, Optimus...

Earth is a beautiful planet.

- I am...

an Autobot!

- What the heck is that?!

(upbeat techno music)

- Optimus!

- Hot Shot! Are you all right?

- Yeah.

- Megatron has Inferno!

- Don't worry, Optimus!

Hot Shot, let's Powerlink!

- Right.

- Rodimus!

- Hot Shot!

[Rodimus & Hot Shot]- Powerlink!

- Powerlink Rodimus!

- Time to end this little...

- Landmine, coming through!

Looks like the

tables have turned.

(agonizing shriek)

- Sounds like intruders.

- Megatron! Hand

over Inferno! Now!

- Transform!

- Heh. No problem.

Unfortunately, you're

just a little too late.

- What?!

- Time to go, Starscream.

- Right!

[Megatron &

Starscream]- Transform!

- Hey, Inferno,

are you all right?

- I think so...

- Just take it easy. We'll

get ya outta here, big guy.

- Huh?

- Scorponok! Time to pull out!

- Yessir!

- No ya don't!

(struggling grunts)

- Transform!

(high-pitched yodeling)

- Looks like this party

is over. Transform!

- Transform!

- Hmmm? Huh?!

Ironhide! Ironhide!

(suspensful music)

- Scorponok... How

could you do this?

- Just hang on, Inferno.

- Yeah... Is there any

word from Kicker, Optimus?

- He's fine... And that's

where we're headed.

- There... Thanks.

Can't wait to get there.
