Did the expl*si*n do it,
or is the dimensional
gate closing?
All I know is if the
dimensional gate is closed,
then we'll never get
back down to Earth!
That's not true.
I know we'll get back home.
Optimus, tell her.
Tell her
we'll get back home!
OPTIMUS:
Of course we will, Bud.
I'm just not sure how.
No more Space Bridge.
Then we're doomed!
For the th time.
How we gonna
get out of this one?
Well, Coby?
Huh?
Ha! I'm sure Red Alert
has a great plan!
I'm sorry, Bud.
[GROANS]
[♪♪♪]
If we can't get back,
the black hole
will destroy everything.
And everyone.
Hmm...
Vector Prime, no!
I know what you're thinking,
but you can't!
You just can't!
OPTIMUS:
That's enough!
Bud is absolutely right!
Yeah, well,
I usually am.
We've all been in
worse scrapes than this.
We don't need pity,
we need solutions!
Let's get started.
We'll build our own Bridge.
Well, yeah,
but...how?
Without the Omega Lock,
it's hopeless.
What do you mean,
"hopeless"?
Even if we could build
a Space Bridge in time,
I don't think there's any
way we'd be able to power it.
Even a whole dang starship
doesn't have that much power.
[GASPS]
But three
starships!
Three starships just
might work.
Hot sh*t, Red Alert,
I want you two
to work on synchronizing
the ships' reactors
while the rest of us
build that Bridge.
Really?
A Space Bridge?
And once we activate the
Bridge, then we can all go home?
Well, Metroplex, do you think
your crew is up to the task
of building a Space Bridge?
You're talking about
the best crew in two universes!
[IN UNISON]
Aye!
The best crew,
plus the best team.
Us too. We'll help.
Boo-yah!
With everyone working together,
we'll get it done in no time!
[CHUCKLES]
Good!
You heard him,
Red Alert!
You'd better
have those ships ready
by the time
we're finished.
So it's
a race, then?
Oh, it's on, little man!
[ALL LAUGHING]
We've all got a lot to do,
so let's down to buisness!
[ALL CHEER]
[♪♪♪]
QUICKMIX:
The way I understand it,
that other Space Bridge
came from a generator
back on Cybertron--
Don'cha mean Primus?
Same thing. Anyway,
that bridge was
anchored to the Omega Lock,
which is how it got
through to our universe.
So if we build
another generator here,
then hopefully...
It'll anchor there.
Uh-huh.
Whoa!
Okay, this one's
wired in!
Get in there, you... Ah!
Whew! How's that?
Maximum power.
LEOBREAKER:
She's still half-covered
in cement.
But at least
we've got power!
OVERRIDE:
Nope. Try switching
one and three.
So that's
blue and yellow?
Hm.
[♪♪♪]
Whoa.
Oh, man,
check it out, Lori.
That's amazing!
Look at
the way it shines!
Total perfection
in both form and function.
[SARCASTICALLY]
Jeez. Why don't
you marry it then?
Now let's put our hard
work to the test.
Man your stations!
[♪♪♪]
Energy at percent.
[BUTTONS BEEPING]
Ninety-six percent
and climbing.
Waveforms in sync.
Opening energon
flow channels.
Aah! Come on!
The suspense
is k*lling me!
Right.
Gigantion Space Bridge
Generator, engage!
[WHIRRING,
ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]
[POWERING UP]
[♪♪♪]
It--
It's really working!
Yeah!
Hmm?
What is it?
What do you see,
Vector Prime?
It looks
so awesome.
Wait. Something's
not right.
But it's forming
a Space Bridge.
It's a Bridge, all right,
and there's a whole lot of
something comin' through it!
[♪♪♪]
They look like birds.
Where'd they
come from?
Planet X.
It looks like Soundwave
and Sideways
weren't the only ones
to survive!
They've gone feral!
Yes, like wild animals.
Jolt,
you get the kids to safety now!
Right, Optimus!
Strewth! There must be
hundreds of 'em!
Scattershot!
Shut down the Bridge!
I'm trying,
but it's not responding!
METROPLEX:
I'll handle this lot.
Take this, ye wee beasties!
And how about another!
[YELPS]
We need to
take care of this now!
And if ever there was
a situation
that called for
maximum firepower...
...this is it!
[♪♪♪]
If those creatures damage
the Space Bridge Generator,
then there goes
our last sh*t at going home.
Ordinarily,
I'm not much for hunting,
but I'm declaring
open season on robot birds!
Slag it!
They just keep coming!
At this rate, they'll
defeat us by attrition!
Addition?
Dude, what's with the math?
Just keep sh**ting!
Eat m*ssile, birdies!
[GRUNTS]
[SARCASTICALLY]
Yeah, that'll show them.
There's only one way to stop
this fowl att*ck!
What's that?
We must destroy
the generator.
But that's
our ticket out of here!
It is our ticket to
destruction.
[GRUNTING]
Wh... What happened?
[WHIMPERS]
They're just...gone.
LORI:
But so's
the Space Bridge generator.
That's it, then.
It's over.
[♪♪♪]
Difficult as it was,
you did the right thing,
Vector Prime.
A never-ending plague
of those creatures
would have laid waste
to this planet,
and I'm not willing
to have
the complete destruction
of Metroplex's home world
on our heads.
But what went wrong?
Hmm...
HOTSHOT:
Well, we could still
rebuild and try it again.
METROPLEX:
Aye! My crew
is at the ready!
Thank you,
Metroplex.
Scattershot?
Based on
what I'm seein' here,
it wouldn't make
any difference.
Three ships
just ain't enough power.
I'm telling ya,
it just ain't enough.
Slag! There's gotta be
some other way to get through!
Hey, don't look at me,
laddie.
[SIGHS]
Someone must know.
Well, you're the
experts.
Huh?
You made it through once.
Just do it again.
Well, we would,
but we can't.
The warp tunnel closed
behind us, Red Alert.
And it won't open
again for a year.
There is no choice.
ALL: Huh?
That is the way we entered
this universe,
and that is the way
we must leave it.
But Vector Prime,
we can't wait a year.
By the time that tunnel
re-opens, guys,
the black hole will be--
BUD: Duh! Don't you guys get it?
Vector Prime just waves
his sword, and bang.
We go back in time
to when the tunnel was open
in the first place.
Right?
Right.
What?
Jeez, dude!
Why didn't you
say so earlier?
We could be back
before we left.
So why did we have to build that
wonky generator, then?
JOLT:
Because it's not that simple!
Huh?
Vector Prime,
you have to tell them.
You just have to.
They have to know.
You have to tell them why this
plan is completely impossible.
It is the only option
left to us, Jolt.
But it's not
an option!
And if you won't tell them why,
then I will!
Don't you see what
you're asking him to do?
To reverse time that much
will cost him his life!
[ALL GASP]
It makes no difference.
Our mission must succeed.
No, that's not
acceptable.
We'll find
another way.
The black hole must be stopped,
no matter what the cost.
You've known that from
the beginning, Optimus Prime.
Not like this.
Maybe... Maybe we could
get a message back,
evacuate the others
to this universe--
Impossible.
It does not matter
where we run.
The black hole will
eventually destroy everything.
That's the bleak truth.
So Gigantion's fate
is sealed as well, then?
The fate of every world.
As I traveled
through the timestream,
into what you would call
the future,
I came upon
an impassible barrier.
Such things are not uncommon.
All great events leave
their mark upon the timestream.
But as I peered through
this barrier,
I saw nothing beyond,
only emptiness.
And I recognized the black hole
for what it truly was.
The end of time.
[ALL GASP]
B-but still, we can't just
let you give up your life.
We just can't!
It's not fair!
It's not right!
Everyone here knows
what we're fighting for,
and every one of us
has put his life on the line,
but you can't ask me to stand by
while you sacrifice yourselves!
Every single thing in
the cosmos has a fixed life.
Galaxies...
planets...
humans...
Transformers...
[♪♪♪]
[TICKING]
I alone have lived
beyond the reach of time,
watching, ever vigilant,
as the millennia
marched past.
I have seen oceans rise,
continents shift,
and mountains crumble.
I have seen brother
rise against brother,
and the desolation
it leaves behind.
And always,
the great cycle continues,
new life rising from
the ashes of destruction.
Now, after eons of watching,
at last, I too have become
part of the cycle.
I began a new life,
with purpose and meaning.
And though that life
might end...
I know now
that I will never die.
But then, how could...
Oh, please, Vector Prime,
I don't understand!
You, Jolt.
You have traveled with me
through the ages.
[VOICE BREAKING]
That's...true.
Then you know I will live.
Huh?
Huh?
Huh? You won't die?
No,
I will be watching you all...
from beyond
the dark veil of time.
[GROANS, BREATHES HEAVILY]
Come on, Jolt,
tell us.
What exactly does
Vector Prime mean, Jolt?
Well,
Vector Prime has-has...
Vector Prime has always
lived outside of time.
For that reason,
Vector Prime
will always exist,
as long as time itself exists.
But we...
We will never see him again.
Is that right?
Hm.
[ALL GASP]
But I know he'll be there,
watching over us.
Really?
You'll be watching over us?
I once stood alone,
the Guardian of Time.
Then I met the Mini-Cons,
and I was no longer alone.
Now I have many friends,
both human and Transformer.
I finally understand
the true value of time,
for it is the bonds between us
that give time its meaning.
But I still don't get
this whole thing.
Where will Vector Prime go?
We won't be able
to ever see him again,
but he'll always be with us
in our hearts, Bud.
Always?
LORI: Yes.
So it's okay?
[CHOKING BACK TEARS]
Lori, thank you.
[♪♪♪]
All right,
team.
Let's get
the ships ready.
ALL [SOMBERLY]
Right.
Vector Prime!
Let me shake your hand!
Very well.
Congratulations, big guy!
For what, Bud?
But isn't that
what you're supposed to say
when somebody gets a new job?
Isn't it?
Why, yes, Bud.
I suppose you're right.
Then
congratulations!
Thank you, Bud.
Whoa!
VECTOR:
And since I have a new job,
I was hoping you would
take care of this for me.
You sure?
That map is
a very important treasure.
I know
you'll keep it safe.
Yes, sir! I sure will!
Coby's gonna freak!
[GIGGLES]
[CHUCKLES]
Ah, my dearest friends,
the Mini-Cons.
Vector Prime.
Join them, Safeguard.
and look after each other.
VECTOR
I shall always treasure
our friendship.
[VOICE BREAKING]
Vector Prime!
We'll miss you so much!
I know, Jolt.
I shall miss you too.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
OPTIMUS:
We're taking
all three ships
so we can transfer as much power
as possible to your sword.
Yes, Optimus, and that extra
firepower may come in handy
when you face Galvatron.
But the black hole must be
your first priority.
I understand.
Autobot Commander
Optimus Prime,
it has been an honor
working with you.
The honor has been mine.
[SPACESHIPS APPROACHING]
[♪♪♪]
Farewell,
Optimus Prime.
Turn back the hands of time!
Now!
[SHOUTING A BATTLE CRY]
SCATTERSHOT:
Time still reversing,
countdown nearing zero point.
We're past the zero point!
The warp tunnel's opening!
All right. All ships...
engage!
SCATTERSHOT:
Entering warp tunnel!
OPTIMUS:
Everyone! Stay focused!
[♪♪♪]
Wow!
Wow, uh, what--
What's that?
Ship approaching
right on schedule!
BUD:
That's us! From when we
came through the first time!
Hey! Good luck,
you guys!
What's up?
[GASPS]
LORI:
Vector Prime is exhausted.
We're slipping backwards
in time.
[VECTOR BREATHING RAGGEDLY]
You can do it, Vector Prime!
[GASPS]
Go, Vector Prime!
Vector Prime, don't give up!
[ROARING]
Whoa! Awesome!
Time is moving again,
almost double speed.
We're clear
of the tunnel,
resynchronizing with
the local time stream.
OPTIMUS:
Good.
[THINKING]
Vector Prime.
[♪♪♪]
Vector Prime, please,
please don't go!
[SOBBING]
No, man,
you girls get so freaked out
over nothing,
right, Coby?
Uh,
I guess so.
[CHUCKLES]
[♪♪♪]
Hey, Vector Prime!
[THINKING]
After eons of watching,
I began a new life,
with purpose and meaning.
And though that life
now ends,
I know that in the hearts
of these friends I have made,
I shall live forever.
Farewell, Bud.
The future is my gift to you.
Good luck, Vector Prime!
[CRYING]
How come I'm crying?
I don't...
[SNIFFLES]
I don't need to cry.
Everything's fine now,
right?
[QUIETLY SOBBING]
Vector Prime.
[♪♪♪]
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
[THINKING]
Farewell, my friend.
Set course for Cybertron!
VECTOR:
I finally understand
the true value of time,
for it is the bonds between us
that give time its meaning.
