Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Head on up and moooove 'em out!
Come on down to Cybertron!

A day without scrap metal is like
a breakfast without sunshine!

Hey, don't make this load too heavy!

Last time, I nearly sprung a cog trying
to get back to Cybertron!

We can't please all of the
people all of the time!

I want you to seek
the traitor Octane!

Stalk him and destroy him!

I hate liars and double-dealers!

His brutal end shall serve as an
example to all Decepticons,

of what will happen if they cross me!

All right, that's enough!
Lets get a move on!

Best to you each morning, Octane.

Ehh, I'd probably be a jerk
too if I was made of junk.

No, that's not it. A little more
here... Yeah, that's better.

Whats that?

Galvatrooon!

Oh, thank you, powers that be!

Sheesh! What have you been eating?

Oh, thanks, gee, no, n-never mind,

I just want to be taken to Autobot
City, where I'll be safe!

I'm telling you, The Decepticons
are after me! I need protection!

Woah, you sure you're fully recovered
from the expl*si*n there, Octane, buddy?

I heard a noise! I just wasn't
watching where I was going!

There it is, again! We're being watched...

Oh, octane, now you're hearing things!

Don't worry,
its normal to be a little jittery!

Whoa, maybe you should head back
for a more extensive repair!

I'm fine!

But you are an older model. You probably
should start taking it a little easier!

Older model? I'll show you older!
Watch this!

The traitor is getting away!
Let me go after him!

No! Do not expose yourself!
There will be other opportunities!

Not bad!

Okay, sure! You showed me, Oc,
buddy, now I'll show you.

Eat my dust!

You ate it that time.

Oh yeah?

They missed me!

Thats because they weren't sh**ting at you!
They're after me!

Let's see.

No two ways about it! You gotta do
something about your popularity!

What are we gonna do?

Its probably too late to
get warranty insurance.

Wait until he moves, then...

Eat my dust!

Uh, thats my dust!

Ehh...Its gonna take us
forever to keep up!

Its gonna be a bit of a
wait, if you know what I mean!

You might as well grab some grub!
I love grubs! Come on in!

Sure! Oh yeah,
you're number , yeah, that's it.

What's the food here?

Yeah, looks like the usual slop.
High in static.

Stuff always gives me surges.

For % off, what are a few surges?

Righto! Let's go!

Heres, your energon
tall, dark, and metallic.

You know, sooner or later
they're gonna get me.

The Deceptions?

Yeah. Galvatron can't
afford to let him live.

Well, that's his tough luck,
because I'm gonna keep you around!

Believe me, I hope you're right.

Waitress!

My g*n!

A little heavy on the photons.

Oh no! Noo!

Number ! Refuel is complete! Number !

I interfered with Galvatron's orders.
I swiped Trypticon

and tried to become powerful enough to
became the new leader of the Decepticons!

He said I'd never be welcome back
in the ranks of the Decepticons.

Galvatron, vowed to get even.

Number ! Refuel is complete! Number !

- Okay, that's it!
- I'm still hungry!

Oh, this? I picked it up on Mars!

Ahaha, you mean without a paddle?

Well, I thought the
water was safe to drink!

Is he with us? We gotta get moving!

Wow! So you don't think
he's given up, huh?

No I don't. But I wonder
what he's gonna try next.

Take THAT, you overgrown tin
can, and that, and THAT,

and—I didn't WANT this job, I HAD to
take it! I've got a wife and kids!

I HAVE to deactivate you! Look, a guy's got
to make a living, don't you understand?!

I only wanna hear one word from you:

the name of the guy who hired you.

Galvatron!

Looks like Galvatron's getting a little
hard up for troops!

Either that or he's got a vermin problem!

You'll be safe on Cybertron.

Excellent!

That creature is off to
get past Autobot security!

I long for the day when we'll
be able to att*ck honourably.

One good sh*t and we can all go home!

Oh no!

Trap him in the corridor!

Good plan, Cyclonus!

We would be honored if
you would lead the as*ault!

You lead the att*ck, coward!

He's over there!

Oh, sorry, Thundercracker!

I'll hide behind someone else's marker.

I know. "Death comes to anyone
who hides behind my marker!"

Listen, guys, I've got a problem!

Starscream!

Who is it? Come out, Sweep!

I hope its a sweep...

Ah, whos that?

It's your old buddy, Starscream!

Just a shadow of my former self.
Don't you think?

STAAARRRRRSCCCRRREEEEAAAAAMMMM!

Why Octane, old friend.
I'm touched that you remember me!

Let me help you straighten yourself up!

No! I'm fine! I'm fine!

He must be hiding in the crypt.

Good. Then we won't have to take
him anywhere when we're done.

Don't fear me, Octane.

We have more in common
than you might think.

Help me get revenge against Galvatron,

who put me in this
somewhat insubstantial condition,

and I will get you out of your mess.

Anything!

Scourge: You! Go down that shaft!

Whining Sweep: How come I
gotta do the dirty work?

Scourge: You! See if the
traitor is hiding down there!

No way! If you're so fired up to know
what's going on, you go down there!

Scourge: YOU LEAD!

Politely Declining Sweep: I
wouldn't want anyone thinking

that I question you as a
leader, but sorry...

Cyclonus: I question your
leadership skills, Scourge.

The last one in there will face me!

Cyclonus: You have much to learn.

Scourge: Yes, that is true.

Cyclonus: Now, DIVE!

No sign of life here!

No! Absolutely quiet as a tomb!

Gone. Yeah! He's gone!

Cowardly fools!
Fan out and search!

Come out and die like a warrior!

How dare you disgrace your ancestors
by cowering like a pocket computer!

He's worse than the Sweeps!

Come out and face your fate
like the powerful Decepticon you once were!

Not like the miserable excuse
for a Decepticon you have become!

What are you gaping at?

It's nice to have a body again!

Starscream! Is it you in there?

Only my metal polisher knows for sure.

I had to be sure!

Now make this look good!

I have captured the traitor.

He's captured the traitor!

Now. How do we get out of here?

We will take him back to Chaar,
as a trophy for Galvatron.

Now look scared,
moron or I will have to destroy you!

Sufferin' software!

How the devil they get in here?

They've spotted us!

Whatever would we do without a
powerful intellectual like you along?

Don't worry, Octane!
They won't keep ya!

Get out of the way!

There seems to be something
wrong with Cyclonus's voice!

Yes, it sounds like Starscream!

No need to be insulting!

You will suffer for that!

Aerialbots! att*ck!

The Aerialbots are after us!
Let's make a place to fight!

Now, that's my idea of
a proper b*ttlefield!

Aerialbots! Transform and surround!

Circle the Decepticons
and don't let them out!

Now look what you got us into!

Me?

I believe it was your bright
idea to take this route!

I don't remember you
having any ideas at all--

- brightt or otherwise!

Now let Octane go.

Octane is free to go.

Starscream!

That's right.

And if you want a bonus
beyond your wildest dreams,

you will release us now!

What's going on? Nobodys sh**ting!

It can't be anything good!

Hold your fire!

I ordered this traitor destroyed!

I thought I'd leave the pleasure,

of deactivating the
miserable traitor to you.

Besides, he might have
information about the Autobots!

Yes.. .we will interrogate him.

Even if it's not
informative, it will be fun!

Eat this, you traitor!

Aah! Theres one thing I
will say for Cyclonus.

He administers a good interrogation.

Aaah! I'll never tell!

(Hey, you got pretty close that time.)

You'd better before they
discover your bad acting!

Okay okay! I'll talk! I'll talk!

I have lived all my life for this day!

Ready when you are, Galvatron!

We must fight honorably!
Hand unit to hand unit!

As you wish!

Had enough, Prime?

Shall I end it for you?

Not quite!

I'm down, but not out, Rodimus!

I... ohh...

So, you think Galvatron's
nothing but slag iron now?

Yeah! We've seen the last of that sucker!

Seen the last of who, Cyclonus?

Uh, why, uh, no one really, sir.
I-I mean...

You mean what, old friend?

Well, now who do you think I mean?

Starscream!

I shall enjoy destroying
you even more this time than the last!

Destroying me was a great
disservice to all Decepticons!

What happened to me?

Last time I remember,
I was in the Alphabet Crypt and...

I hope I've seen the last
of that miserable usurper!

See that Cyclonus is properly repaired!

Of course, Galvatron.
