Do you understand your orders?

You five Stunticons will secure
the three components I need.

You're a fool, Megatron!

You can't trust those wreckless Stunticons
with such an important mission!

Quiet, Starscream!

Their unique transformation
powers, make them the perfect choice!

We're ready to roll, Megatron!
Me, Motormaster,

Drag Strip, Wildrider,
Dead End and Breakdown!

Then raise the docking tower!

Heres where we split up!

Drag Strip and Dead End, your assignment
is to swipe component number one!

Breakdown and Wildrider,
you bag component number two!

The last ones for me!
Stunticons, let's transform!

Alright, lets hit the road!

Hey as long as you're
giving me a tune up, Rachet,

how about souping me up,
so i can give those Stunticons a rundown?

You're just fine as is, Ironhide.

Besides,
those Stunticons are crazy!

Teletraan is still picking up Decepticon
energy emissions,

moving at high speed,
and at ground level!

The Stunticons. Try to get a
better fix on them, Wheeljack!

Right, Optimus Prime.

Whats this? Cars without drivers?

It must be, the Autobots.

We've come for your new laser lenses.

Where are they?

Careful, men! We don't even want to
scratch that experimental generator!

Stop! Only authorized personnel--

Don't worry, soldier boys!

We'll just be here long enough
to pick up a little souvenir!

Its ours! Lets burn rubber!

I have guided some valuable
exhibits, but nothing like this.

The world's biggest, most perfect ruby.

Hey! Do you hear something?
It sounds like a truck!

You can keep all this other junk!
I just want one little trinket!

Teletraan 's done it, Optimus.
Pinpointed all five Stunticons.

Autobots, Transform!

Autobots, roll for it!

Nothing right now but to meet the
others at the rendezvous point!

No, I stand corrected!

Wildrider, wait!

That lunatic's heading right for us!

Gangway!

A near miss deserves a
couple o' near-missiles!

He's gonna jeopardize the mission!

Time to add fire to the fuel!

Yaieee, I'm burning up, I'm burning!

I'll probably hate myself
in the morning, but...

Don't worry, Breakdown!
Help is on the way!

This time I'm ready for you!

Better move it, Dead End, or I'll
b*at you back to the rendezvous point!

Big deal, so b*at me!

Hey, now that's interesting!

Let's waste 'em, Dead End!

BANG! BOOM! POW! I'll make that
hot rod even hotter!

Guess its all up to me now!

A flying car! How droll!

Hey c...can't see!

According to Teletraan

Motormaster should be coming down
this road... riaght about... now.

Well, look who's here!
The old King of the Road!

When I'm finished with ya,
you'll be King of the Junkyard!

Optimus! You're not gonna play chicken with
that recall model, are you?

He's got no choice, Spike!
Motormaster's gotta be stopped!

I've been waiting for this a long time, Prime!

Optimus!

- I can't see anything!
- I'm not getting a radio response!

Hey, something's moving in there!

I see something too.
But is it Motormaster...

No! It's Optimus Prime!

Alright!

He's okay!

Alright! Oh yeah!

You did it, Optimus!

You've stuffed that loud
mouth once and for all!

I hope so... Spike.

Because I'd hate to go through that again.

Blaster, contact the others.

You bet, no sweat!

Hoist reporting!
Breakdown and Wildrider in custody,

but I'm glad I don't
have to fix 'em!

Warpath here!
We got Dead End and Drag Strip--

BAM! WHAM! - and I didn't get a scratch!

Block all radio waves between the
Stunticons and other Decepticons.

On it, chase ace!

Just one thing left to do.

Wheeljack: Here they come.

Ratchet: I won't bother asking who won.

Breakdown: They're gawking at us!
How mortifrying!

Dead End: The word, Breakdown,
is mortiFYing, my sentiment exactly.

Motormaster: I'm in no mood
for your big words, Dead End.

Ironhide: For you, motormouth,
this IS a dead end.

As long they're behind those energon bars,

the Stunticons can't merge
to become Menasor.

I only we knew why the
stole those components.

All I could got from their
memory banks is this.

A map of a meteorite crater,
and a magnificent one at that.

These components could be parts of some new
Decepticon secret w*apon, Optimus.

As to what kind of w*apon
I shudder to even guess.

If we could jusy get to
that crater undetected

and sabotage that w*apon...

Hey, Optimus! Check out the TV news

That guy there works at the optics
plant those Stunticons raided.

At first, I thought the
driverless cars were Autobots.

Wild, huh, Optimus?
Stunticons mistaken for Autobots.

Yes, and its given me an idea.

I hope this camouflage
paint comes off, Jazz!

Aw, quit griping. You still have
the same Sideswipe inside, right?

How do I look like, Rachet?

Your own designer wouldn't know
you, Windcharger.

Man, Optimus.
You're a dead ringer for Motormaster.

Did you have to say dead ringer, Spike?

They're ready, Optimus.
The New Stunticons:

"Breakdown", alias Sidewipe
"Dead End" alias Jazz,

"Wildrider" alias
Windcharger and "Drag Strip"

"Drag Strip" aka Mirage!

One stolen ruby ​​... uh red, wasn't it?

Okay, then we're ready.

But remember, the success of this
mission depends on absolute secrecy.

Under no circumstances must you follow us

or break radio silence. Understood?

Yeah! But I don't have to like it yet.

All right, then...uh
"Stunticons", let's roll for it.

According to Hal's map,
that crater is less than a mile away.

Can't get there too soon!

Me too, Windcharger.
I'm anxious to get some Decepticon metal!

I know and I suggest we call each other
by our assumed names, Break Down!

Cool it, we got company! Laserbeak!

Let's test our disguises on him.

Gangway!

He doesn't have to overdo it!

Laserbeak didn't att*ck,
so maybe we fooled him.

But the real trick is fooling Megatron.

Holy hologram! Check that out!

Lucky we're here.

Looks like Megatron is
trying to outdo his worst.

Laserbeak returns!

Megatron, Laser Beak reports
the Stunticons have arrived.

It took them long enough!

Are we under att*ck?

I think its the signal to come down!

Lets find out, "Stunticons."

I don't like being a Stunticon.

Hey, man, zip that lip!

Strange, isn't it, Megatron?
How safely the Stunticons drive today?

So as not to damage their
stolen cargo, Starscream.

Perhaps...

Have you Stunticons brought
all the components, Motormaster?

Hey, would I let you down?

Something wrong with your
vocaliser, Motormaster?

You sound ... strained.

Ehm, sure, its the sound i guess!

What of the other components?

We got 'em all, Megatron!

We gotta warn Megatron
about them phoney Stunticons!

How? We can't use our radios.
Our vehicular modes are busted!

And the energy cells,
keep us stuck the way we are!

Hey, Breakdown,
just cause you're on scared,

you don't have to shake yourself silly!

I'm not, but if I vibrate hard enough,
maybe I can short up my energy bars!

As I predicted!

Hey, how did he get out?

Everybody out on bad behavior!

- What's all the racket?
- Uh-Oh, we're in for trouble.

Big trouble...

Stunticons, merge to become... Menasor!

Menasor att*ck!

Space small! Want out!

Now warn Megatron!

Destroy Fake Stunticons!

The stolen components are in place and
the w*apon but minutes from completion.

And then...

And then what?

What was all that noise?
Great, Cybertron!

Looks like an earthquake hit 'em!

Yes, Spike. And judging from those empty
cells, it was an earthquake named Menasor!

Ohh, my...

Anybody get the number of
that clanking disaster?

We'll be fine.

It is complete. The most destructive
w*apon known to Decepticon science.

Constructicons, you are dismissed.

Perhaps you should not have
dismissed them just yet, Megatron.

As always, Starscream,
you miss the obvious.

The w*apon is complete,

and the Autobots are totally
unaware of its very existence.

Are the indeed?

Say, boss,
whats that w*apon gonna do anyway?

What? You forgotten already?

Erm memory banks must have got tumbled.
Too many headon collisions!

Utilising that ruby's l​ight,
focussed through those perfect lenses,

it will fire the most
destructive ray of all!

More powerful than any laser it will create
a chain reaction in whatever it touches,

producing instantaneous destruction!

Imagine my turning that ray
on the Autobots' headquarters.

Perhaps when it's gone,
someone will put up a memorial parking lot.

- What are we waiting for?
- Megatron.

Megatron tricked!

Menasor! But...

What's the matter, Megatron?
Missing the obvious?

I Menasor!

Them Autobots!

Those Stunticons are imposters!

No! He's the imposter!

What? Menasor fake?

Theres one absolute test, "Stunticons".

Merge and become Menasor!

You heard him, guys!

Well, we're waiting!

Stunticons, merge!

- Impossible! - Two Menasors?

Can't be! I Menasor! Me!

We're okay, long as
my magnetic field holds.

And I can keep this phony face!

Real Menasor has special powers.

Yes! Powers to destroy!

The generator...

It's ready!

Ready to be tested on the imposter!

In other words,
whichever Menasor loses the fight!

No need for the disguises anymore!

Autobots, Transform!

Ah yes,
I believe I have my target!

Hit it with everything!

Except everythings not enough!

Tickle Menasor! Not funny!

Menasor not laugh!

Destroy them now, Menasor,
while they're down.

No! That pleasure is mine!

Move!

My next blast will--

Megatron! Something's wrong!

Machine appears unstable.

Suggest abandoning it.

Suggestion noted—and ignored!

Just a few seconds more...

Machine destroyed!

Now that Megatron knows the
danger of such a w*apon,

I doubt he'll build another.

Menasor, destroy those Autobots!

There are only five!

Look! Hahaha! Alright!

Too many! Menasor goes!

You plan on fighting all alone, Megatron?

Good luck!

We'd have come sooner, Prime.

But it looks like you didn't need our help.

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

I take it those alterations I
made on the ruby ​​did the job.

The Decepticons were so
busy trying to expose us,

they never thought to examine the ruby.

Let's roll out!
