ANNOUNCER:

This is it! All of these

worthy competitors

have struggled to

make it through the races,

and now it

comes down to this!

It's time for

the Planet Cup

to pick the lineup

for the final race.

Which of them will be chosen?

Which will have the chance

to win the Planet Cup?

[THINKING]

It just has to be me.

I've come too far

not to be picked.

Hm?

Aw, man.

You're glowing.

You're going to race

without me.

You're glowing too,

lamebrain.

Hey! Look at me.

So it's the four of us?



Yep.

ANNOUNCER:

The choice has been made.

Four spectacular contenders.

And now the Planet Cup will

unlock the final course.

Whoa! Quick,

flap your arms!

Hey! There's nothing

holding us up!

ANNOUNCER:

Hold onto your seats, folks!

This is practically guaranteed

to be one exciting final race.

HOTSHOT:

This is the racecourse?

Man, it's huge.



Yeah.

BOTH:

Awesome! Awesome!

Awesome!

[THINKING]

All right, bring it on.

[♪♪♪]

HOTSHOT:

Just check that bad boy out!

COBY:

You're right,

that is a cool course.

It's like racing

on a rollercoaster.

Oh, man! I just can't wait

to tear that thing up.

RED ALERT:

Hold on. We have a problem.

Hm?



The damage you suffered

affected the pathways

that deliver

commands

to your main engine.

It'll be like you've never

driven in vehicle mode before.

Well, let's fix him, then.

We just don't have time.

Sorry, Hotshot.

So that's it?

The race is over? No way.

There has to be

a way to win.

Just tell me

what I have to do.

Tell me!

I don't know.

[THINKING]

Man, this is just like

the race I was in.

CLOCKER:

Coby? You okay?

Huh? Yeah.

I'm okay.

I was just thinking

of something.

I was racing in

the Junior Championships.

All right, Coby!

You've got this one!

[♪♪♪]

[GASPS, WAILING]

Oh, man. I blew it.

[GROANS]

[THINKING]

Well, I can forget

coming in first now.

And if I can't win,

what's the point?

DAD: Coby!



Huh?

Pick your bike up!

Get back in the race, Coby!

Hm. Right!

[♪♪♪]

All right. That's my boy.

Good job!

Oh, man, I lost.

No, you didn't.

I did.

You didn't in my book.

In fact, I'd say that you won.

What?

You didn't give up

when you were down.

Yeah? So?

Anybody can be good

at winning, Coby.

What really matters is how you

act when you run into problems.

Thanks, Dad.

[CRYING]

Dad taught me not to give up

no matter what.

Yeah!



And I'm not about to start now.

We just have to find a way

for Hotshot to win.

I know we can do it.



You're right.

JETFIRE:

Wow, I guess you really do

need Coby here.

You'd practically

fall apart without him.

Believe me, we know.

He's a real asset.

You look out for us,

and we'll look out for you.

We have a deal, Coby?

Yeah, sure.

All right, if we're done

patting each other on the backs,

I believe we still have

a plan to come up with.

Am I right?



ALL: Right!

RANSACK:

Gah! Hey! Okay! Stop, stop!

Are you sure about this?

Yeah, of course!

Trust me, you're going

to be a sure winner

after I give you

this super-duper tune-up.

It's super-duper?

Well, why didn't you say so?

Hit me again. Oof!

[CHUCKLES]

This race is mine.

[♪♪♪]

HOTSHOT:

So, what's the story,

Red Alert?

Well, it's still not

very good, I'm afraid.

Your circuitry will require

constant adjustment.

And now in English?

We need someone

to ride along with Hotshot

and make the circuit

modifications during the race.

Well, that shouldn't be a

problem. Just have Jolt do it.

I wish that I could,

but I'm too big.

I just can't fit inside

Hotshot's cockpit.

Figures.

So, what now?

COBY: I'll do it.



[ALL GASP]

I have to. No one else can fit

in the driver's seat.

Yeah, but Coby...

I don't know.

It's going to

be very dangerous.

Yeah, I'm with Jetfire.

We can't let you do that.

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

I mean, I've raced before.

And this race is just way

too important to lose. Come on!

It doesn't do us any good

to keep me safe

if the whole universe

is destroyed.

JETFIRE: Okay, Coby.



Ah...

But Jetfire...

No, Coby's right.

We need him.

This is too important.

Coby...thank you.

Yes! We're gonna

be so awesome.

And I can help

in the pit stops.

Don't forget about us.

We're there to help too.

[CHIMING]



[CHIMING]

Yeah, we'll all work together

on this one.

We'll have to.

Right on! We'll win

this thing for sure.

ALL:

Yeah!

[♪♪♪]

Are you serious? A human?

Yes. Coby. That's him.

Is it okay with you?

Huh. Hey, if that's the way

you want to lose, fine by me.

Thank you.

No way I can lose now.

[♪♪♪]

[MARCHING BAND PLAYING]

ANNOUNCER:

The final race has arrived.

All the racers have

moved into position,

and soon we'll get to see

one of the most talked-about

showdowns in history.

Can Override win

like she did in the last race?

Do Crumplezone and Ransack

have a plan

that will bring them

to victory?

Or can the newcomer

Hotshot take it all?

Okay, Hotshot.

I'm almost hooked up.

[CHIMING]



HOTSHOT: Yeah. Good.

What's wrong?

You're not worried, are you?

HOTSHOT:

I've just never had

a passenger for a race.

[CHUCKLES]

Don't worry, Hotshot.

We're gonna be awesome.

HOTSHOT: Right.



Okay, I'm in.

Now I can redirect power flow

and adjust your systems

as needed.

I don't know what we were

worried about at all.

HOTSHOT [CHUCKLES]:

Thanks for all your help.

I got your back.



HOTSHOT: Right. Let's win this.

ANNOUNCER:

All right. It's time

for the countdown.

Go, Hotshot.

We're counting on you.

ANNOUNCER:

Three. Two. One. Go!

And they're off!

Override and Hotshot have

jumped out to an early lead.

But there's a long way to go,

and as we've seen,

anything can happen

before the race ends.

You can't really think

you'll defeat me.

Done it before.

No way!

This one's mine.

[GROANING]



HOTSHOT: Coby, you okay?

Yeah. It's just fast.

HOTSHOT: It's gonna get faster.



All right.

Coby, I'm starting to slip!

COBY:

I'll transfer power!

[GROANING]

You two are a joke.

HOTSHOT:

Coby! Coby!

Yeah. I'm fine.

Just catch up.



I'm on it.

Man, I can't believe this.

We're stuck

all the way back here.

Looks like

it's time to use

one of those

improvements we made.

Good idea.

They may be faster,

but we're smarter.

ANNOUNCER:

Amazing!

Crumplezone and Ransack

are avoiding the turn

by just leaping over it.

They've made up

a lot of distance.

We have a real race now.

I can't watch.



Clever.

This sure isn't going

to be an easy race.

Hotshot, your top speed

is dropping.

HOTSHOT: Can you fix it?



I think so.

If I can find the cause.

CLOCKER:

Coby, check out

the driveshaft.

It isn't delivering

full power to the wheels.

It fell out of sync

with the power circuit,

so it's only getting

partial signals.

Right, like someone turning

a light switch on and off.

I'll create a new path

for the signals.

It worked!

HOTSHOT:

I feel faster already.

Good eye, Clocker.



[LAUGHS]

Let's not get

too excited yet.

We still have

a long way to go.

The first thing we have

to get past is that loop.

If Hotshot can't

build up enough speed,

he won't get past it.

If he can't,

this race is pretty much over.

So, what can we do?

Nothing. Right now

it's all in Hotshot's hands.

Coby, we're about to enter

the loop, so hold on

and keep your

fingers crossed.

Don't you get tired

of losing, Hotshot?

Ask me after I win this.

You know what's funny?

You chumps actually think

you have a chance.

Yeah, but your puny engines

can't keep up with the nitrous

injectors we installed.

BOTH:

Bye-bye.

Wow, they're so fast.



COBY: We're in trouble.

Oh, man, this is awesome.

We really are going to win

the biggest race ever. There's

no way they can catch us now.

Especially not after

another blast of nitrous.

Yeah, let's blow

these guys away. Hee-hee.

ANNOUNCER:

Incredible.

Can they even be caught?

Oh, yeah, they can.

Hold on, Coby.

COBY:

What are you gonna--?

Whoa!

Almost at the top

of the loop.

Woo-hoo!

What a rush!

Uh-oh.



We're out of nitrous.

[BOTH WAILING]

Looks like it's just down

to you and me.

Bring it on, Override.

[GIGGLING]

Hey, cut that out.

Come on, Ransack, it tickles.

Well, too bad.

I'm not letting go.

What are

we gonna do now?

First things first,

lug nut.

Get me out of here and then

we'll figure something out.

[♪♪♪]

Who says we have to race

to win, am I right?

Am I right?



There it is!

[♪♪♪]

The Planet Cup.

[SHOUTING]

You okay?

Does it look like

I'm okay?

Wait, I know.

BOTH:

Cyber Key Power!

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Ransack and Crumplezone

have gone off the deep end!

They're trying to steal

the Planet Cup.

Nobody messes with my prize

before I can win it.

Now I think it's time

you left this race for good.

Well, know what I think?

We should run?

That's exactly

what I think.

[BOTH WAILING]

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[THINKING]

Whoa. What was that?

Come on. We have a race

to finish.

What? Oh, yeah.

Gah!



That doesn't sound good.

I hope he's okay.

ANNOUNCER:

The race is back on,

and Override

is out in front.

Come on, Hotshot.

Pick it up already.

Something's wrong.

I wasn't sure what to expect

from you Hotshot,

but you're pretty good.

Thanks, although

I already knew that.

But I still won't

let you win.

You don't have a choice.

We got trouble.

The links between your systems

are breaking down

even further.

HOTSHOT:

I thought something was wrong.

Just do what you can.

You have to get me

to the end of this race.

We'll make it.



HOTSHOT: Thanks, Coby.

I don't know

what I'd do without you.

These curves

are going to test

every ounce of the racers'

cornering skill.

But they blew

through those curves

like they were

born to do it.

I'm still here.

Well, let me take

care of that, then.

Oh, what's the matter?

Can't keep up?

Coby.



I know.

I'm trying to boost

your power right now.

HOTSHOT:

Hurry.

ANNOUNCER:

Override is making her move.

She's starting to pull away.

I've found the problem.

The connector to

the engine circuit

is about to burn out.



HOTSHOT: Ugh, no!

CLOCKER:

That means the engine

could stall.

We can't fix that problem

through your computer link-up.

I can't believe this.

COBY: Hold on!



BOTH: Huh?

I think that I know

how to fix it.

HOTSHOT: Great!



Yeah, but...

It isn't gonna be easy.

HOTSHOT:

Hey, what is?

That's it.

HOTSHOT:

Whoa, what are you doing?

If I can rewire the circuit

to bypass the damage,

then you'll have

the power you need.

HOTSHOT:

It's too dangerous to be

out of the harness.

You have to stop.



No. Never give up.

Coby!

Hold on, Hotshot, and keep

your fingers crossed.

ALL:

Huh?

[ALL GASPING]

Woo-hoo!

[♪♪♪]

With that burst of speed,

Hot sh*t has demolished

Override's lead.

We have us a real race now.

[CHEERING]

Pretty nice move.

But too bad it won't matter

'cause I'm gonna win

right now!

Override is pouring on

the pressure,

but Hotshot is staying

right with her.

COBY:

Listen, we can't keep this up

for long.

What do you mean?



This circuit

won't hold forever.

You gotta make a move now.

You got it!

Cyber Key Power!

Let's go!

[♪♪♪]

[LAUGHING]

Whoa!

COBY:

That's what I'm talking about.

HOTSHOT:

You okay, Coby?

COBY:

Don't worry about me.

Just pass Override.

There's a lot of stress

on Hotshot's systems.

But if he can make it

to the end, he just might win.

ANNOUNCER:

Closing in on the finish line,

this race is neck-and-neck.

Yeah!

ANNOUNCER:

It's a photo finish!

This one's too close to call

with the naked eye.

The photo will be ready

in just a moment.

RED ALERT:

Come on!

[♪♪♪]

Phew. Nice race.



You too.

ANNOUNCER:

Results are almost in.

Almost.

It's Hotshot!

Hotshot's the winner!

He did it!

Hotshot is so awesome!

He won the Planet Cup!

Can you believe it?



[GASPS] He won!

We actually did it!

Even with all those

problems, we won!

HOTSHOT:

You're right: we did it.

I never couldn't won

without you, Coby.

No way. I lost.

Good job.

[CROWD CHEERING]

[THINKING]

Finally.

The Planet Cup is ours.

[♪♪♪]

HOTSHOT:

No way!

Hmph!

Megatron!

[SNICKERING]



[SNICKERING]

Well, thank you

so much, Hotshot.

Winning the race lowered

the protective force field.

So I can take this.

OPTIMUS: Guess again.



Huh?

Optimus Prime.

Hand it over, Megatron.

Or we'll take it.

Handle this fool for me.

I've been waiting for this!

You're done for.

Count me in.



And I'll take you out!

You shouldn't have done that.

Now you'll have to pay.

That supposed to scare me?

[GRUNTS]

The Planet Cup

will never be yours.

It already is, old man.

Eat laser,

Goody Two-shoes.

Get Coby to safety!



Got it.

I'm fine.

Just get the Cup.

You never learn, Megatron.

You'll never triumph!

Well, if I'm not mistaken,

never has arrived.

[LEOBREAKER GRUNTS]

It's time.

Good idea.

We can use the extra power

of Savage Claw Mode.

Optimus Prime,

Transform!

Yeah, we'll take down

Megatron for sure.

Leobreaker, Transform!

BOTH:

Savage Claw Mode!

JOLT:

We're going to see

some fireworks now.

Megatron may be powerful, but

Optimus and Leobreaker together

are a force

to be reckoned with.

[MINI-CONS CHIME]

We have to get that Cup.

All right! Show him what

you can do, Optimus.

Give it up.

You can't defeat all of us.

You want it?

Come and take it.

HOTSHOT: All right!



What?

Have a nice trip, Megatron.

We'll see you next fall.

[LAUGHS]

Now! This is our chance,

Leobreaker.

LEOBREAKER:

Cyber Key Power.

[♪♪♪]

MEGATRON:

This isn't over.

OPTIMUS:

Give it a second.

[MEGATRON GROANS]

Oh, no. He dropped

the Planet Cup. Ah!

I'll take that,

thank you very much.

Give me that!

Never!

[GROANS]

You will pay for this.

Let's get out of here!



Yeah!

OPTIMUS:

The Planet Cup

is safe at last.

[CROWD CHEERING]

ANNOUNCER:

And here he is,

your new champion.

Hotshot from

the planet Cybertron!

JETFIRE:

This is going to go right

to his head, isn't it?

LEOBREAKER:

That's what I'm thinking.

You know, Hotshot,

you may have defeated me,

but I owe you

a thank you.

Huh?

I would have been happy

racing my whole life away.

But you showed me there's

a whole universe out there.

So thank you.

My destiny is clear.

I should fight

by your side.

Hey, no problem.

I'm glad I could-- Wait, what?

I want to help you.

To combat evil,

you need every ally

you can get.

Great!



So, what do you say, Optimus?

Can I join you?

It will be dangerous.

It's even more dangerous

sitting around doing nothing

while Megatron plans

his evil schemes.

Let me help you. I know that

I can make a real difference.

Hmm...

[♪♪♪]

We'd be glad to have you.

Welcome aboard.

Hmm.

COBY:

Awesome!

This'll be great.

Of course, you'll have to learn

to follow orders,

Override.

I doubt it.

I mean, you do just fine.

And you never

follow orders.

But-- Hey!

[LAUGHING]

Come on, Coby,

back me up here.

COBY: Is that an order?



[ALL LAUGHING]

ANNOUNCER:

How about that?

This may be the most

exciting day

in Speed Planet history!

All thanks to Cybertron!

[♪♪♪]

OPTIMUS:

Override,

because you helped us

and because it came from

your planet,

you have the honor

of adding the Planet Cup

to the Omega Lock.

Thanks.

[♪♪♪]

[GASPS]

COBY:

It turned into

the Cyber Planet Key.

LORI:

Man, the Omega Frequency

just got really loud.

Yes. It's done.

[ALL GASP]

[GROWLS]

Huh? What in the world?

Hmm?

COBY:

Hey, I can't hear

the Omega Frequency anymore.

Whoa, what just happened?

I don't know.

[THINKING]

Those are coordinates.

OPTIMUS:

Scattershot?

SCATTERSHOT:

The Omega Lock pumped out

a bunch of data.

Looks like coordinates

here on Earth.

Coordinates? So, what

are they leading us to?

SCATTERSHOT:

I...I don't know.
