SCIENTIST : What a triumph of
modern science.

These electro-cells will solve all
of the Earth's energy problems.

-But until we can stabilize them,

They could explode at any moment.

-What the...

-Decepticons!

-I just love opening presents.

-And those electro-cells will make a
wonderful gift for Megatron.

-No, stop! They could
detonate without warning!

-Stand back at once, Starscream.

-Megatron!

-The electro-cells are too
ticklish to withstand your,

Heavy-handed mauling.

I want to preserve these objects until
I choose to use them,

To destroy the Autobots.

-But you don't understand the danger!

-Aaaahhh!
-Nooooooo!

-If one of those cells explodes,

It could set off a chain reaction that
could devastate the Earth!

-You heard the human. Exercise
extreme caution.

Now, to ensure no more electro-cells can
be created,

Starscream, demolish this installation.

-It is as you ordered, mighty Megatron.

-Then let us return to headquarters and
begin the first chapter in the book of...

Decepticon supremecy.

-Good news, Prime.

I've located the missing electro-cells.

-Good work, Cliffjumper. Where?

-In the same area Mirage
patrolled yesterday.

-Impossible! I'd have picked up a
reading on them for sure.

-Maybe you did, but decided to
keep it quiet.

OPTIMUS PRIME: That'll do, Cliffjumper.

We don't want bad feelings. Just
the electro-cells.

Autobots, transform!

-Why do you delay, Megatron?

The power in these cells would be
transferred to the Engergon cubes,

by now and the Autobots destroyed if
I were in charge.

-But I am in charge, Starscream.

And until I am sure that this
fail safe monitor device works,

I will not risk the electro-cells exploding.

-Where is the courage your
leadership demands, Megatron?

To discover if something works,

You must dare to test it.

-You fool! You'll destroy us all!

-Destroy us all, oh brave Megatron?

Perhaps it's time the Decepticons looked
elsewhere for direction.

To someone prepared to
make command decisions.

The transfer worked perfectly.

-Perfectly you say?

Look again!

This time you have
dared too much, Starscream,

You must pay the price for your insolence.

-There, Prime, in that valley. Where
Mirage found nothing.

-Autobots, transform.

-Decepticon at o'clock.

Alright, Autobots. Retreive
the electro-cells.

-Autobots attacking!

Prepare to counterattack!

-Excellent! I shall rid myself of those
nuisances once and for all.

Insecticons are nearby. Order
them to action.

-Yes, Megatron.

-And Soundwave, tell them there'll be
a special reward in it for them.

-This way, Autobots. Move in!

-Try and remember which
side you're on, Mirage.

-Keep your mind on the the
Decepticons, Cliffjumper.

-That's just what I'm doin'.

-An electro-cell.

Come to papa.

-Not so fast, papa.

-Didn't you ever learn not to touch
things that don't belong to you?

-Ok, Optimus, jump him. Now!

-Optimus Prime? Where?

-Poor Starscream.

The oldest tricks only work on the
biggest jerks.

-I didn't feel a thing.

-Then let's try again.

-Too fast for ya, huh Autobum?

-May I be of some assistance?

-Release the electro-cells, Megatron.

They don't belong to you.

-I possess them. Therefore I
own them.

You've lost, Optimus Prime.

Your destruction is at hand.

Neither you nor your Autobot
simpletons,

can prevent me from ruling
the Universe.

-Missed, beetle-breath.

-The cells!

They'll all explode!

MEGATRON: The elctro-cells!

Forget the Autobots and save them!

Stand back you fools.

Nitrogen will smother the flames.

-Mirage. Can you sill transform?

-I... I think so.

-We can't risk further combat so
close to the electro-cells.

Retreat to headquarters.

Autobots, transform...

And roll out!

OPTIMUS PRIME: We'll be back, Megatron.
Bank on that!

-We'll be waiting.

-Just a coupla twists of the bolt-capper
and you'll be as good as new, Mirage.

-We'd of had those cells yesterday,

If Mirage had reported them in
the first place.

-I already told you. They weren't there.

-I say they were and you
didn't report it!

OPTIMUS PRIME: Hold on, Cliffjumper.

-Until you can back your
remarks with proof,

I'll take Mirage's word.

Now...

I want you to go to the ridge and maintain
surveillance of those electro-cells.

If the Decepticons try to move them,
I want to know about it at once.

-You can depend on me, Prime.

-Put your axle up and
rest a while, Mirage.

I'll look in on ya later.

-I don't need rest.

-Two measly engergon cubes?

-Is that Megatron's idea of a reward?

-I'd say that's pretty good.

-Not when Megatron has so many more.

-Just what I suspected.

Mirage is helping the Decepticons.

I could never fire on a fellow Autobot...

But Mirage is no longer one of us.

-Perfect. My plan is working already.

-First the Decepticons reward us,

Then they rob us!

-We'll take back our
energon cubes and more.

-Time for me to reposition myself.

-I'll report the Insecticon
activity to Prime,

As soon as I take care of
that traitor Mirage.

But, where'd he go?

[ Footsetps approach ]

Uh-oh. Sounds like I'm not alone.

-You're not.

And this is one of those times when
you really need a friend.

What?

-What were you f*ring at, Starscream?

-An Autobot spy.

-Obviously you missed.

-Well I won't miss him.

-They're f*ring on us-us.

It's a Decepticon ambush-ambush.

-att*ck!

-att*ck!

-Fightback-back!

-Time for me to disappear.

-You missed again.

-We both missed.

Don't worry about the Autobots.

Worry about them!

-Those greedy little Insecticons are
trying to steal my electro-cells.

I will squash them like the bugs they are!

Decepticons, att*ck!

-Hiya!

One Decepticon down.

-But not out!

-Aaah!

-Where did this one come from-from?

I'll finish him off-off.

-No! We can make use of him.

-I've implanted a cerebro-shell.

It will compel him to obey only us.

Stand up, Autobot sl*ve.

Select a target.

Now, fire!

I think this is going to be
quite enjoyable.

-And when I got back to the repair bay
Mirage was gone.

-I can tell ya all about Mirage.

He's at the storage area helping his
friends the Decepticons.

-I've warned you about making unfounded
allegations, Cliffjumper.

-I saw him with my own optics.

He delivered two engergon cubes to their
storage area.

-But where would Mirage get
energon cubes?

-I don't know but it's clear
he's a traitor,

And we gotta put him
outta commission fast.

-The only thing clear is that our
first order of business is to,

Go to the storage area and
get those electro-cells.

-And then?

-Then we will find Mirage and
hear his side of the story.

Autobots, transform.

And roll for it!

-Fire, sl*ve!

- Aaah!

- Good sh*t!

-A new toy, Bombshell?

Too bad you're not going
to have long to play with it.

So two energon cubes
weren't enough for you.

Now you want to steal our electro-cells.

-The cubes were enough, but you
stole them from us.

-What gives you that absurd idea?

-A Decepticon insignia lying right where
our energon cubes had been.

-So that's what happened to...

This Autobot ripped it off during battle.

-I know this will be difficult
for you, Bombshell.

But think. Put two and two together,
it will equal an Autobot trick.

-You wouldn't cheat us. You need to
get rid of the Autobots.

Maybe after that you'll rob us
blind, but not now.

-Decepticons, put down your weapons.

-Insecticons, cease combat.

We were deceived by this
walking garbage can.

You shall pay for it, Autobot.

-No, Bombshell. Why destroy a
perfectly good sl*ve,

When I have a plan to use him
to finish all the Autobots.

Hear me out.

-This is very strange, Cliffjumper.

You said the Insecticons were
here with the Decepticons?

But I see no one.

-They were here, Prime. I'd swear to it.

-He is right.

I got rid of them.

And their friends retreated.

-More lies, traitor!

-No. I wanna hear him out.

Mirage, Cliffjumper claims you took
energon cubes to the Decepticons.

Did you?

-Yes. I took them.

Then brought them here
so the Insecticons,

Would think the Decepticons
had stolen them.

-And then?

-They began to fight each other.

The Insecticons fled and the
Decepticons chased them.

Now we can the get the
electro-cells, Prime.

-Don't trust 'im, Prime.

My cybropolygraph is screamin' trap.

-Perhaps, but we've got to check it out.

Autobots, transform.

Let's get the electro-cells.

-Follow me.

-I knew it was a trap!

-Take cover, take cover!

-You traitor. I've been waitin' for this.

-Stand up, Autobot. And destroy
your comrade.

Stand up. Stand up, I command it!

Very well. I'll do it myself.

After I blast you to pieces.

You've served your purpose.

-I can't believe any Autobot would turn
against his own kind willingly.

What's this?

-Ooh.

-No wonder Mirage set us up.

-Right, Prime. This was controlling him.

One of Bombsells cerebro-shells.

-Then Mirage isn't a traitor.

-I... I never wanted to do anything
against my fellow Autobots.

I-it was because...

-We know. All of us.

-It's over, Mirage. Forget it.

Get 'im back on his feet, Ratchet.

Looks like Megatron's ready for
his final as*ault.

I'm gonna make a run for
the electro-cells.

Join the others and cover me.

-But Mirage's wound.

-We'll care for it later.

-Let's go!

-Move or you're vaporized.

-You've lost, Megatron.

-So it appears.

This time.

But if I can't have the electro-cells
no one can!

-Retreat, retreat-treat!

-Autobots, transform. And roll out!

My-my electro-cells.

They-They were meant for me!

They were...

[ Megatron groans in pain ]

OPTIMUS PRIME: We're sorry.

We know the loss of the electro-cells was
a serious blow to your research.

-You did what had to be done.

At least the chainreaction did
not harm the Earth.

-And thanks to you and
the other Autobots,

The Decepticons failed to harvest
the ebergy from the cells.

-There. That should take care of that
hole from the Decepticon cerebroshell.

[ laughing ] Hey, Mirage,

I have just one thing to say to you.

-Yeah? Uh, what Cliffjumper?

-Move over!

-Hey, what's up?

-I think I have a hole in my head that
needs repairing too.

-You what!?
