Optimus is insane to waste my talents on a futile hunt.

Rhinox thinks those alien sites are dangerous.

Optimus wants us to find as many as we--

( Inferno yelling )

For the royalty!

( cackling )

( dramatic rock theme playing )

( Cheetor screaming )

( both grunt )

CHEETOR: We got company!

( Dinobot growling )

( yelling )

Ha, ha! You're food for the colony, Maximals! Aah!

Oh, Inferno not wait for your signal.

So much for surprise.

You take the cat. I'll support Inferno.

( giggles )

( screeches )

( grunting )

( groans )

Waspinator waits for signal.

( grunting )

( Inferno yelling )

Unh! That is one tough--

( grunting )

( laughing )

Attack!

( chuckles )

( grunting )

( Inferno laughing )

Oops.

( screeching )

( grunts )

Do something!

Terrorsaur has not given signal!

Attack, you imbecile!

Waspinator will engage enemy.

Cheetor to all units.

Dinobot is down, and I'm under heavy Pred fire.

Code R.

( over radio ): Repeat, Code R!

Acknowledged. Hang on, Cheetor.

Maximize!

( dramatic theme playing )

( buzzing )

( Waspinator giggles )

Ooh! Waspinator sees good target.

( grunting )

Oh, no.

( Waspinator screaming )

( grunting )

Tiger-bot! ( growling )

Hey! You're half-right, Predacon.

( Waspinator grunting )

Waspinator cannot fly!

Going to crash!

( both grunting )

( Waspinator screams )

( both grunt )

( b*mb whirring )

( grunts )

Ah. Way cool, big cat.

( screams )

Beast mode.

( both grunt )

( cackling )

( both screaming )

( cackling )

I'll deal with this one. Tigatron, maximize!

The royalty commands your wreckage,

destroyer of my colony.

Give my regards to The Pit, Predacon.

( screams )

( suspenseful theme playing )

( dramatic theme playing )

Snowstalker!

( ominous theme playing )

( grunting )

No, no, no!

( gasps )

( growling )

( somber theme playing )

( somber theme playing )

Goodbye, Snowstalker.

Let your hunting grounds shelter you now.

( somber theme playing )

I cannot do this again.

It's... It's never easy to bury a friend.

But it is too easy to do this.

( ominous theme playing )

CHEETOR: We had no choice. The Preds--

Predacon or Maximal, what is the difference?

In my lust for battle,

I caused the death of an innocent.

( Dinobot growls )

There are no innocents.

This is w*r. And this...

Well, this is simply a b*ttlefield.

We made it so!

And every time we do, this world suffers.

But I will have no more of it.

From this moment on,

I am no longer part of the Beast Wars.

( growls )

You would desert in the face of an enemy?

You wouldn't. You-- You can't.

( tense theme playing )

My decision is made, little cat.

Farewell.

CHEETOR: Tigatron!

INFERNO: So the tiger no longer wishes to fight.

( laughs )

Inferno to Terrorsaur and Waspinator.

Regroup on my coordinates.

I don't believe this. Now what are we gonna do?

Predacons know how to deal with those who won't fight.

( growls )

Or...

go back to base. You need repair.

( growls ) Hey, wait, Dinobot!

( dramatic theme playing )

Thank the Matrix.

( ominous theme playing )

We must return to base.

The royalty commanded

we capture the Maximals invading our colony.

Will you explain our failure to him?

Oh. Uh, Megatron not like failure.

Yes. Royalty--

Uh, I mean Megatron. --has been a bit testy lately.

We'll do it! ( giggles )

But we close the trap on my signal.

( chuckles )

Oh, Waspinator likes signals.

( giggles )

( Terrorsaur screeches )

( Inferno laughing )

( grunts )

Head back to base and contact Rhinox

as soon as you're in range.

I want backup as soon as I can get it.

What do you think's gonna happen?

( dramatic theme playing )

I don't know.

( crickets chirping )

( twig snaps )

( footsteps approaching )

( growling softly )

( gasps )

( both growling )

You have the instincts of a warrior.

You know when danger's approaching.

( growling )

Why do you stalk me?

To...talk.

I have nothing more to say.

Then look!

( tense theme playing )

( growling )

( screeching )

That is the law of the jungle.

The hunters and the hunted.

Scrap or be scrapped.

Animals hunt to survive.

And what do you think w*r is about?

Maximals may believe in peace,

but Predacons...

You do not really know the Predacons.

We-- They...

live for the glory of conquest.

( dramatic theme playing )

If Megatron takes the energon wealth of this world unopposed,

he will begin a w*r.

A w*r that will destroy Cybertron and shatter galaxies,

until only one side survives.

( Megatron laughing )

DINOBOT: It has been this way for hundreds of stellar cycles.

Ever since Autobot and Decepticon

first began the great w*r.

Hm. Peace will never come until someone agrees not to fight.

The Predacons will not allow it.

They will destroy you or reprogram you.

They will not find me.

No...

I found you.

( both growling )

I do not wish to fight you.

You have no choice, coward!

If you're not with us, then you're against us.

( both growling )

Stay away!

Make me!

( roars )

I will not do this!

Fine!

Then die!

( growling )

( dramatic theme playing )

( growling )

( growling )

A Predacon wouldn't miss.

Now return to your duty.

No!

( growls )

Well, so be it.

( roars )

Stand down, Dinobot, now!

No! This must not be allowed!

That's an order!

( sighs )

Don't you at least want to say something to him?

Yes.

I'm sorry about your friend.

I know how much she meant to you.

( growls )

Aah! Sentiment!

The more time I spend with you Maximals,

the more I wonder how you survived so long.

I'm returning to my duties.

Tigatron, I hate this w*r as much as any of us.

All the more reason to stop it.

We don't belong here, Optimus.

But we are here. And as Maximals,

we've got a duty to explore and defend this world.

( ominous theme playing )

Ooh! That's not tiger-bot!

Who cares? Dinobot will make an even better prize.

Fan out. We'll ambush him as he leaves the forest.

( screeches )

( both laughing )

( suspenseful theme playing )

Hmm, I must have been mad to--

( gasps )

( growling )

Predacons, terrorize!

( dramatic theme playing )

( Terrorsaur & Waspinator laughing )

( growling )

( Predacons laughing )

Maximize!

( grunts )

Dinobot. He might need some help.

I guess you've made your decision.

Prime jets, on!

( tense theme playing )

( giggling )

( grunting )

( laughing )

( laughs )

( growling )

( giggles )

( grunts )

Ooh! Megatron reward Waspinator for my victory!

Your victory? It's my--

It's Optimus!

Excellent. He'll have no chance against the three of us.

( all laugh )

COMPUTER: Warning. Power cells at percent and dropping.

Transform to beast mode.

TERRORSAUR ( in singsong ): Optimus is ours! Optimus is ours!

Waspinator will finish him!

( giggles )

( Terrorsaur screeches )

For the royalty!

( Optimus yells )

( grunting )

Optimus!

( groaning )

( both grunt )

( Inferno laughing )

( tense theme playing )

Attack!

Ha-ha! Unh!

Tigatron.

( groaning )

( laughing )

( dramatic theme playing )

Back off, Predacon.

You'll k*ll no more beasts today.

( laughing )

( laughing )

( tense theme playing )

You will leave the wild alone!

Once again, this planet pays the price for our w*r.

( somber theme playing )

Well done, Maximal.

You chose a perfect moment

to rejoin our ranks.

I am in your debt.

I must still grieve for my friend.

But as long as there are Predacons to harm this world,

we Maximals must protect it.
