RAD:
Here's what happened on
the last Transformers Armada.
Leave these kids out of
our battle or face my wrath.
Oh, you dare to thr*aten me,
Optimus Prime?
I welcome your wrath,
because it pales in comparison
to what I have in store for you.
I intend to crush you!
And that includes
your little friends.
( laughing )
( Megatron growling )
( grunting )
Listen up, kids.
It's time to make a run for it.
RAD:
And that's exactly what we did.
You see,
the w*r between the Autobots
and the Decepticons
was just starting to heat up.
And at first, we didn't wanna
get in the middle of it.
So my friends Alexis, Carlos
and I ran for cover
while the battle of the bots
was about to begin.
My name's Rad, and stick around
for another episode
of Transformers Armada.

STARSCREAM:
Enemy at o'clock low!
OPTIMUS:
Why don't you take your
little toys back home, Megatron?
CYCLONUS:
Yee-haw! Let the games begin!
( Optimus grunting )
Oh, no, he's hit!
You okay, sir?
STARSCREAM:
Time to finish them off
for good.
( both groaning )
Ha-ha-ha-ha.
Care to surrender, my friend?
Ha-ha.
And miss all this fun?
I see you still have
a sense of humor.
Well, Leader One
will take care of that.
Hey, look, he has a Mini-Con.
You're right.
( beeping )
And it looks like Megatron
has already brainwashed him.
MEGATRON:
Transform!
A little added firepower.
Huh?
( grunting )
( grunts )
Ha, ha. You missed.
Laugh now, but that is only
a taste of my power.
And when I'm good and ready,
you will not know what hit you.
( laughing )
Aw, man. I can't believe
how much that puny Mini-Con
jacked up his power.
Yeah, no kidding.
Don't you get it?
That's the reason they're
all fighting to control them.
( Megatron laughing )
Now I shall lead the Decepticons
to victory,
and the planet Cybertron
will be all mine.
( laughing )
It's time to turn it up.
( grunts )
( all gasp )
Oh, no, it's a landslide!
Hang on!
ALL: Aah!
Hot Shot! Are you all right?
I'm A-okay.
And check this out, chief.
They're clean as a whistle.
Excuse me, Hot Shot.
But would you please quit
trying to hog all the glory?
What happened to Megatron?
Huh?
Hey, guys.
Take a look over there, quick.
BOTH: Huh?
( grunting )
STARSCREAM:
Megatron! Are you all right?
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
Now go and destroy
that obnoxious Optimus Prime.
Yes, sir.
( thudding then both gasp )
Out of my way.
( grunting )
Time to settle this
once and for all, Megatron.
Come on.
Give it your best shot.
( both grunting )
( both gasp )
( all gasp )
Hot Shot, transform!
Red Alert, transform!
Huh?
( grunting )
( grunts )
( gasps )
Ha!
( grunting )
Ah, yes. Now I find out
they're all incompetent.
Time to take matters
into my own hands.
Huh?
BOTH:
They've all retreated, sir.
MEGATRON:
And we're going after them.
RED ALERT & HOT SHOT:
Huh?
RAD: Would you hurry up already?
I'm trying.
Ready or not, here I come!
( High Wire beeping )
( Cyclonus laughing )
( both screaming )
Heh, heh.
Oh, I do love surprises.
Gotta run.
Aw, man,
that guy burns me up.
( dramatic theme playing )
( Megatron grunting )
This is taking far too long.
Huh?
CYCLONUS:
The Earthlings have uncovered
more Mini-Cons, sir.
MEGATRON:
Excellent news, Cyclonus.
CYCLONUS:
Oh, I knew you'd be pleased.
MEGATRON:
Oh, trust me, I'm very pleased.
( both chuckling )
Come on, boys,
we've got work to do.
RED ALERT & DEMOLISHER:
Yes, sir.
( upbeat theme plays )
I'm sure Cyclonus reported
your little discovery,
which can only mean
one thing.
Megatron is on his way back.
RAD:
But what does he want
with us anyway?
All we did
was find the Mini-Cons.
( beeping )
OPTIMUS:
I wish I had an answer for you,
but I don't.
You know this whole thing
happened totally by accident.
Carlos and me
were just checking out
this dumb old cave
when I saw that glowing plate.
Ah!
Please, Rad,
be careful, okay?
What is it?
Whoa.
CARLOS:
I don't know,
but it looks radioactive to me.
( Rad chuckles )
( Rad screaming )
( screaming )
( both screaming )
( panting )
Come on, Rad, let's high tail it
out of here! Huh?
RAD:
Boy, the whole place lit up
like a Christmas tree.
I guess somehow
when I picked up that plate,
it caused the Mini-Cons
to come out of hibernation
or something.
( Transformers theme playing )
Believe me, Optimus,
I never would have touched it
if I'd a known
it'd start a w*r.
Please,
don't blame yourself.
We knew
it was only a matter of time
before someone discovered
the Mini-Cons.
I suppose we were
living on borrowed time,
but at the very moment
you picked up that plate,
we received the signal
in our Cybertron headquarters.
Immediately I dispatched
my most elite force
to where we were receiving
the signal from.
It was a matter of urgency
that we arrive
before the Mini-Cons
fell into the hands
of our archrivals,
the evil Decepticons.
Unfortunately,
they too received the signal,
and now our battle
has been renewed.
ALEXIS:
Well, I suppose
we should introduce ourselves.
My name is Alexis,
and this is Carlos and Rad.
I am Optimus Prime,
leader of the Autobots.
And our mission is simple:
To destroy the Decepticons
before they can capture
all the Mini-Cons.
Well, if you guys need
anything at all,
you can count on us.
Yeah, and we owe you bigtime
because you've saved
our lives twice.
And we're not afraid
to get our hands dirty either.
I appreciate
your generosity,
but this is our fight
and we must see it through
ourselves.
But I'm the one who kind of
started this whole mess,
so I'm here for you.
I appreciate that.
Now, allow my men
to introduce themselves.
My name is Red Alert.
And you can call me Hot Shot,
because that's what I am
and I don't take any prisoners.
Aw, man,
you guys are wicked cool,
especially the way
you can transform like that.
Way cooler
than those other dudes.
RAD:
So, what's the deal
with the Mini-Cons?
When Megatron hooked one on,
it seemed
he became more powerful.
Precisely. The Mini-Cons
are the pawns in our battle.
Whoever possesses them
has the upper hand
and is sure
to go on to victory.
When we first received
the transmission
that the Mini-Cons
had been revived here on Earth,
our mission was to be the first
to gain possession of them
and avoid an all-out w*r.
RAD:
So the Decepticons wanna use
the Mini-Cons
to gain power, right?
Isn't that what you want too?
Yes, but we treat the Mini-Cons
as equals, see?
( Sureshock beeping )
Well, whatever he said,
it sure looks
like those little guys
aren't afraid of you.
To the Decepticons,
they are nothing but slaves.
( High Wire beeping )
CARLOS:
Whoa.
( beeping )
I think I understand him.
It sounded like
he was asking
if you guys were just gonna
use them as weapons too.
The Autobots are peaceful,
and when the w*r is over,
the Mini-Cons shall be free.
They helped build our cities
and our industries on Cybertron.
They were built and designed
to be workers,
but never slaves.
Let us help you.
We'll do anything you want.
What do you say?
I told you before,
this is our fight.
It doesn't involve you.
Like we said, it does,
because we're the ones
who opened up the Pandora's box
that started all this.
And I know we can help you
beat those freaks.
Not to mention
Rad's the only one around
who seems to understand
what the Mini-Cons are saying.
Isn't that right, you guys?
BOTH:
Huh?
Hey, Alexis,
I was only guessing
at what they were saying,
that's all.
Yeah, he was just messing
with your head, Alexis.
Like you woke up one day
and could understand Mini-Con.
Don't you dare
mock me!
As a matter of fact,
I seem to remember you guys
practically begging me
to come
on your little
mountain adventure.
But did I wanna be seen
with a bunch of losers?
Hmm.
Hey, we were just joking.
We're like
the Three Musketeers, girl.
All for one
and one for all.
( Hot Shot gasps )
( all laughing )
What's wrong?
You look confused.
HOT SHOT:
Yes, I suppose I am.
ALL:
Huh?
You punched each other
with your fist
and yet you found humor
in it.
Yeah, it's what we do
here on Earth.
It's kind of like a sign
of friendship.
All right. Then count me in.
( all gasp )
Sorry, I just wanted
to slap fists with you.
OPTIMUS: Hot Shot.
Hmm?
( thud )
You know, I could learn
to like this Earth custom.
( thudding )
Dude, I just hope
they don't hurt each other.
( metal clanks )
Men, all for one
and one for all!
( thudding )

BILLY:
I got game, and you are
going down, little boy.
You'll never get past me.
Come on, what do you got?
Wanna put money on that, pal?
I'm open, I'm open!
( groans )
Hey, come back here!
I intercepted that pass,
so it's our ball, you creep!
You're right, Fred,
it's not my ball.
Here, Alexis!
( grunting )
Rad!
Mine! Ugh!
( grunting )
All right!
Next time, use your hands
and not your face.
I'm sorry.
RAD:
Yes! That's the third time
in a row
we kicked their butts!
( sighs )
BILLY:
So where were you guys
when the earthquake hit, huh?
Earthquake?
What are you guys talking about?
CARLOS:
Hmm, that's news to me.
I don't know. Maybe we were
sleeping or something.
Don't play dumb, all right?
We saw your bikes
at the cave, Rad.
Yep. You're right, Billy.
We were at the cave.
But Rad and me were just there
having a little picnic.
We never noticed
any earthquake.
Besides,
if there was an earthquake,
it would have been recorded
at the research station
and we would have heard about it
on the radio.
My dad works up there,
and he said that they had some
pretty weird seismic readings
that afternoon.
Well, maybe you're right.
But it's more likely they had
some kind of computer glitch
or something, that's all.
BOTH:
Hmm?
( upbeat theme playing )
BOTH ( in unison ):
Aw, man, would you check out
that sweet ride!
Yeah, it was a birthday present
from my grandma on the coast.
As a matter of fact,
I just put it together myself
this morning.
That is one wicked BMX.
RAD:
It's the only one like it
in the world.
No kidding. I've been
to all the BMX websites,
and I've never seen a bike
even close to that one.
It's totally original.
CARLOS: Hey, sorry, Fred...
Huh?
but we gotta run.
Hey, so where
you guys going?
Check that skateboard.
CARLOS:
You mean this old thing?
Aw, it was my dad's
way back in the ' 's.
It's just
a hunk of plastic.
RAD:
Hey, Carlos,
you coming or what?
I'm right behind you!
Later, dudes.
Hmm.
BILLY:
They're up to something,
and I'm gonna find out what.
( Rad laughs then whoops )
CARLOS:
Yeah! Unh!
Those two
make me so mad.
So, Billy, you got some kind
of plan cooked up?
Of course. Only an idiot
wouldn't have a plan, you moron.
FRED: Who you calling moron?
Oh, boy.
BILLY:
I'm calling you a moron.
That's what you are.
ALEXIS:
I am totally surrounded
by weirdoes. Ugh!
FRED:
You're a lousy
basketball player.
You're bad.
Hmm, Alexis.
Ah. In our little spat,
I almost forgot about her.
What's she got to do
with anything?
Everything!
( chuckles )
Man, that was a close one
with Billy, huh, Rad?
Yeah. But they bought it
hook, line and sinker.
( Carlos & Rad laugh )
Very funny, you guys,
but I hope you realize you just
about blew it back there.
Aw, chill out, Alexis.
They bought it.
RAD:
And besides,
what are they gonna do?
They could open up
their big mouths
and tell everyone what we know,
that's what.
It's supposed to be our secret,
remember?
CARLOS: Yeah, whatever, Alexis.
RAD: Don't sweat it, Alexis.
ALEXIS:
Aw, when will you guys
ever learn?
( dramatic theme playing )
MEGATRON:
It's only a matter of time
before we defeat
those useless Autobots
and I become the supreme leader
of Cybertron.
And I'll be
your right hand bot.
DEMOLISHER:
That's my job, Starscream!
You wanna piece of me, punk?
Let's do it!
( upbeat theme playing )
DEMOLISHER:
You are so history! Huh?
( Demolisher grunting )
( both grunting )
Whoa!
( groaning )
( groaning )
Heh, heh. I'm sorry,
but I think you lose
this one.
MEGATRON:
That's enough!
DEMOLISHER:
Ah! Megatron!
Quit wasting your energy.
I do not need my men fighting
amongst themselves, thank you.
He started it!
MEGATRON:
Stop wasting time
with frivolous play fights.
( grunting )
STARSCREAM:
And when Demolisher said
he was your right-hand man,
I lost it, Megatron.
Because we all know
I'm next in line.
MEGATRON:
Enough of your petty bickering.
STARSCREAM:
But I was just trying--
MEGATRON:
Did I not make myself clear
the first time?
For us to win this w*r,
we must each supplement
our power with a Mini-Con.
So far, Starscream,
you have not yet captured
your own.
( grunts )
Without their power,
we will be deadlocked in battle
with the Autobots forever.
So we must search out
all Mini-Cons.
( dramatic theme playing )
( grunts )
( beeping )
( laughing )
Demolisher.
Yes.
MEGATRON:
Please say hello to your new
little partner in crime.
DEMOLISHER:
Oh, thank you, Megatron.
Thank you so much.
MEGATRON: Starscream!
Huh?
MEGATRON:
You know what you have to do.
Capture a Mini-Con.
And then we will be ready
to destroy the Autobots
once and for all.
What in the world
has been going on here, Fred?
Where's the cave?
Hey, take a look at this.
Huh?
FRED: This is so weird.
It's like some giant bulldozer
came through here.
Yeah, but who in the world
could've done this?
FRED:
You're asking me?
Wow, this place
is totally awesome .
Heh. You sound like you've never
been in a spaceship before.
CARLOS:
It looks so high-tech.
ALEXIS:
Um, maybe that's because
it is a spaceship, Carlos?
Just ignore him.
RAD:
This place is wicked sweet.
It's packed with computers.
It's like the world's
biggest candy store for geeks.
CARLOS:
Well, that's what I said,
but they just made fun of me.
OPTIMUS: Rad.
RAD: Huh?
I have something
I'd like to show you.
It is time.
RAD:
What is that?
OPTIMUS:
His name is LaserBeak.
LaserBeak?
Oh, wow, he's so cute.
CARLOS:
And he's so tiny.
That is wicked.
OPTIMUS:
His job is to ensure your safety
while we're here.
RAD:
Hey, does that mean you'll
let us help you fight?
I didn't say that.
Your safety
is my responsibility.
( alarm blaring )
Huh?
( beeping )
High Wire says
there are more Mini-Cons
who are coming online
out there.
The Decepticons
have been busy.
RAD:
So, what are we gonna do?
I say it's time to do
some serious damage.
Mm-hm.
This is it.
I guess so.
Let's check it out, guys.
ALEXIS:
I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying,
but where are we going?
( alarm continues blaring )
( Transformers theme playing )
Incredible. Whoa.
RAD:
It was true.
Mini-Cons were coming to life
all over the place,
and our only hope
was that the Autobots would be
the first to find them.
