Great race, wasn't it, Chip?

Yeah, but hey, it would be really be
terrific if the Autobots were in it.

Like a big race for charity.

If Optimus Prime would go for it.

Let's find out.

Ready to roll home, guys?

Sure, Bumblebee.

One limo-bot coming up.

Bumblebee,
how would you feel about a little racing?

Okay, so long as its
under the speed limit.

Constructicons, attention.

When will you complete the transfixatron?

In one moment, Master Megatron.

The transfixatron is finished.

Splendid, splendid, Scrapper!

Laserbeak, report on your
surveillance of the small humans.

Yeah, but hey, it would be really
terrific if Autobots were in it.

Like a big race for charity.

If Optimus Prime would go for it.

Enough, Soundwave.

I'll shall make good
use of that information,

after I test the transfixatron.

That Transfixatron, my afterburner.

Instead of wasting time on that,

you should have been
leading us against the Autobots!

That idiotic contraption
probably won't even work!

Let's find out, Starscream.

Transform.

No, Megatron! You can't mean to-

What's a test without a guinea pigatron?

Transform, I say!

As you command.

Now, let us see if this
"idiotic contraption" works!

Ha! I feel nothing!

Your precious invention
is hi-tech garbage!

Really?

Then transform back to your
root mode, Starscream,

and come back to me.

Uh... I... I can't transform!

What have you done to me?

I have transfixed you
in your present state,

and you will stay that
way until I free you.

Release me, Megatron.

Please!
I'll do anything you command!

Hm... perhaps I should leave
you as a jet plane, forever!

You can't leave me like this!

I'm too valuable to you,

to the Decepticon cause!

Megatron, I'm begging you!

Oh, stop whining!

I'll neutralize the effect.

I shall use the transfixatron
against our Autobot foes.

Meanwhile, Contructicons,
begin production of the second device.

- and the ticket money goes to charity.

So what do you say, Optimus Prime?

It is a worthy cause,

and we have been rather inactive lately.

Go for it, Optimus.

I need a heat or I'll rust out.

I'm sure a large audience
would enjoy my performance.

Huh. Just a waste of time
and energy if you ask me.

Who's asking you, party pooper?

On the other hand, Huffer, somebody's
got to stay here and stand guard.

Tell you what, Huffer?
Wheeljack and I will keep you company.

Alright then.

Autobots, transform.

Roll for the show!

And now to compete in the greatest
automobile race in history:

Ladies and gentlemen, our celebrity guests

the sensational Autobots!

Hey, where are their cars?

Some people are in for a surprise.

Let's give them a show
they'll never forget!

Autobots, transform!

Let's get this show on a roll!

Got lead in your driveshaft?

I don't see you breaking the
sound barrier, Ironhide!

Come on, Ironhide!

Trailbreaker, you can do it!

Show time!

Out of my way, you snail racer slowpokes!

I don't like to show off

but since it's for charity...

Okay, mirage, you wanna play fancy?

Hang on to your muffler!

A little drivin' music, and away we go!

Wish I were going with them.
To fight!

When this device is ready, it will
wreck those Autobots good, Long Haul.

They won't know what hit them.

Teleportation complete, Megatron.

I'm directly over the raceway.

Deploy Transfixatron
before they see you!

What was that?

I don't know!

Uh, probably just energy evaporation
from all the speed, maybe... I hope...

I hope.

Well, Skywarp?

They never knew what hit 'em!

Excellent.

Treachery is your
forte, my dear Skywarp.

Now the Autobots can no
longer call themselves...

... Transformers!

Hey, Trailbreaker.

Did you feel a wierd jolt
in your circuitry a minute ago?

You're just an excuse,
Ironhide, old buddy,

but you're still
losing the race!

Finish line dead ahead, Jazz!

Then lets whip up some dust!

Bye bye, Mirage, baby!

Come on, Autobots!

Floor those accelerators!
You're almost home!

Ladies and gentlemen!

The winner of the Autobot run is, uh...
whoa, uh...

Well, I guess the real
winners are us folks!

It's been a whale of a show!

And now for the next event,

The Autobots will perform some
incredible car stunts!

Okay, guys!
line up, one next to the other.

If you're going to do what I think,
Sunstreaker,

you've got boom glitches
in your brain garage.

Aw, lay off, Mirage.
Give Mr. Ego a chance.

What are they doing, Spike?

Making Evel Knievel look like
a kiddie car driver.

Sunstreaker, wait!

You won't be able to get up enough
momentum to clear that distance!

Don't worry, Prime!

When the built me,
they broke the rule!

I always said you were moody!

Uh-oh! Not enough momentum!

I'm not gonna make it!

Huh?
Thanks for the magnetic field, Windcharger!

But be careful when you send me down!

I just had a new wax job!
I don't wanna scar my patina!

Well guys, whats next?

I'm for anything except
demolition derbying.

Uh-Oh! If my scope's
picking up what I think it is,

the show is over.

Decepticons! Prepare for att*ck!
Autobots, Transform!

Ah, Optimus, somethings haywire!

I...I can't transform!

Me neither!

We're stuck in Vehiclular mode!

I can't change back to my
normal, handsome self!

It seems you Autobots have
a slight identity problem.

Thanks to my transfixatron, you will
remain trapped in vehicular mode...

... forever!

Now if these earth germs
will kindly leave the premises.

That's better.

Now we can accomplish the
purpose of our little visit.

The total destruction of
our helpless foes.

We can't transform,
but we're not helpless.

Autobots, roll for it!

You overconfident fool!
Destroy him and his minions.

Get in before the Decepticons see us!

But what about our friends?

We can do more to help
them back at headquarters!

C'mon guys!

Don't let a few flat
tires stop ya!

Live 'n' roll!

Time to turn on the heat!

Incendiary blasts! Making me overheat!

Ahh! I'm getting sunburn on the inside!

Finish the job, Soundwave,

and be sure they are not able
to contact Autobot headquarters.

As you command, Megatron.

Their communicators
will be made useless.

Excellent. Now take them away.

And to make things worse,

we can't make radio contact
with Optimus and the others.

I knew the racing bit was bad news,
but would anyone listen to me?

Oh, noooo!

Stifle it, Huffer,
or I'll put my footio in your audio!!

Is not over yet.

We still have Teletraan .

What's your plan, Chip?

I'm feeding Teletraan your
transforming process data.

Maybe it can tell us what went wrong.

Hm. According to those figures,

the only thing that could prevent
transformation, is some kind of...

... transfixation ray.

What if Megatron came up with such a thing?

Well, we could devise an ultra-frequency
ray to counteract its effect.

Then let's get on it!

Ratchet! Tool!

Ironic, isn't it, Autobots,

that after so many valiant battles,

you will meet your end in the
crushing jaws of this device

so lovingly fashioned by my Constructicons.

Ah, get on with it, Megatron.
Spare us the windbag routine.

As you wish.

But first, a demonstration of your fate.

Bring out the Decepticon Body Shell!

Long Haul, do the honors.

Hey, look!
It's one of Hound's holograms!

Teletraan should be able
to fix on that location.

Yes, Teletraan pinpointed it exactly.

Alert. Energy transmission detected.

Transmission terminated.

Charming. Your remains will take
up very little room on the scrapheap.

Long Haul, Scrapiron,

I suggest that the talkative
Ironhide be your first client.

Finally we're gonna make little
Autobots out of big ones! Ha-Ha

We must help Ironhide.

Come on, Autobots!

We can't let Prime
do it all himself.

If he can crank up, we can too!

Bah, leave them to the tender
mercies of my Constructicons.

Their pathetically brave
stance is useless.

The Autobots are helpless
in their automotive form.

Later, guys.
It's been really great knowin' ya.

Huh, done.

I can't believe how
fast we put it together.

If we are right,

this grenade will release energy rays

that'll counteract
Megatron's transfixation.

Yeah, but if you're wrong...

Then we might possible do even more
harm than has already been done.

Then we've got to test the grenade.

There isn't time!

We already know where
the Autobots were taken!

But we're outnumbered!

What's wrong, Huffer?
Your backbone infrastructure turnin yellow?

Brawn is right.

If it might save our friends,
we've got to take the chance.

There's gotta be
something we can do!

Maybe there is, Cliffjumper.

Hey, what's that?

I think it's a target!

I'd call it a TARGET!

Demolish it!

Now while Roller has thei attention...

I knew you'd come through, Prime!

And not an astrosecond too soon!

You fools!

Do you think you have
escaped the inevitable?

I hope we're in time.

I don't believe it!

This can't be happenning!

Well, what are we waiting for?

To use that anti-transfixation grenade!

Your termination is
overdue, earth crawlers!

Wheeljack, protect that grenade!

Grenade, eh? We'll see to that!

What is it? A heat-seeking m*ssile!

Spike, the grenade!

Got it!

But not for long!

Give the grenade to me, human microbe.

Not this time, Soundwave!

Chip!

Think fast!

Now, if I can just get close
enough to the Autobots...

Ravage, stop him!

If it doesn't work, we've
all bought the farm.

I'm transforming!

I see my true beauty emerging!

All of us can transform again!

Supercharges, Optimus!
We're like we were!

A bit battered,
old friend, but alive.

You won't last long enough for
repairs, Optimus!

Constructicons, end this charade! Now!

At last! Conflict! Hitting! Destroying!

Constructicons, transform!

Now Phase Two!

Goodbye, Autobots!
Devastator is back!

You know what they say.

The bigger they are,
the louder they crash!

Surrender to your
fate, puny dolts!

We ain't licked yet!
Let em have it, Optimus.

Extinguish their laser cores forever,
Devastator!

Finish them!

Cliffjumper! Reply!

Are you still functioning?

There must be some way
to whip that tower of scrap!

Hey Cliffjumper,
help me grab the transfixatron.

We'll give em a taste of
their own electro-medicine!

You got it, buddy!

Prepare for oblivion, Autobots!

Hey, Devastator!
You'll get a real charge outta this!

Those beams.
They make me feel strange!

If my theory is correct,

the transfixatron oughta cancel
Devastator's Robot form.

Cannot... maintain transformation identity!

It's not possible!
They've beaten Devastator!

And now we're gonna b*at you, Megatron!

Ain't we, fellas?

We're outnumbered!

Let me guess: we retreat?

Ironhide, Trailbreaker,

I believe you know what to do.

With pleasure, Prime!

Now, back to headquarters,
for rest, recovery and-

Repairs, repairs, repairs.

Sometimes, being an automotive
genius isn't all its cracked up to be.
