NARRATOR:
The w*r between the Autobots
and the Decepticons rages on
as they struggle to retrieve
the prized Mini-Cons.
There are new and more powerful
Mini-Cons surfacing every day.
If the Decepticons
prove victorious,
then Megatron
and his enslaved Mini-Cons
will control the universe.
The Earth's only chance
for a peaceful cosmos
is for Optimus Prime
and the Autobots
to destroy their enemy
and free all Mini-Cons.
Now get ready
for a new battle.

Let's see.
Oh, darn.
Just some milk here.
Well, at least
I'll get my vitamins.
Hey, Rad,
what's with Hot Shot?
He hasn't been hanging around
with us.
What's with that?
Oh, don't blame him.
He's been training
with Scavenger all week.
He's really working hard.
Hot Shot'll pass the test,
right? Right?
CARLOS:
Sure. You know how
stubborn he is.
RAD:
Thank you.
Yeah, Carlos. Once Hot Shot
finishes training,
he'll be way tougher
than he was before.
Guys. Why don't we go and see
what he's doing, okay?
Really?
ALEXIS: Come on.
I know you wanna see
Hot Shot in action
as much as I do.
Uh, yeah, maybe.
Whatever, Carlos.
You can stay here
if you want to.
Come on, Rad, let's go.
Come on, guys,
let's roll.
Man, I can hardly wait
to see
what Scavenger's like
as an instructor.
Hey, hold on.
Hey, wait for me!
I wanna come too!
Wait up!
CARLOS:
Ah, I don't see anybody
around here.
ALEXIS:
Maybe they're working out
someplace else.
Oh, great. We came all this way
and no Hot Shot.
( snoring )
Hmm?
( snoring continuous )
Hey, what is that, Rad?
Shh.
Listen. You hear that?
Huh? What?
What?
( snoring continues )
Yeah, I think I hear it.
It kind of sounds
like an animal or something.
( snoring continues )
Maybe another Decepticon
broke into the base.
( loud crash )
( all gasp )
( groaning )
CARLOS:
Hey, it's getting louder!
RAD:
This way. Hurry.
( panting )
Huh?
Rad, what is it?
See for yourself.
Hmm?
( clanging and groaning )
CARLOS:
It's Scavenger.
I don't believe it.
ALEXIS:
Looks like you two have
something in common, Carlos.
Scavenger must like taking naps
as much as you.
He even snores like you do.
Yeah, but if he is here,
where's Hot Shot?
HOT SHOT: Hi, guys.
Huh?
I'm right over here.
ALL:
Hot Shot!
CARLOS:
What Are you doing?
Hey, aren't you supposed
to be training?
Uh, yeah.
Well, that is
what I came here for, uh...
( gasping )
♪ Transformers ♪
( grunting )
So, what do you think?
Hmm.
Oh, yeah? So I did good?
Huh?
( groans )
Oh, that's great.
He's asleep.
What a lame instructor.
( snoring )
So you're just gonna sit there
and wait for him to wake up?
Come on.
Go wake him up.
No. He's my instructor.
I can't do that.
So how did he get
to be your instructor anyway?
He was linked
with the Decepticons
not too long ago.
You better
watch yourself, man.
I wouldn't trust him.
Hey, wait. Carlos.
Come on Carlos. Wait.
Nah. He'll be all right.
He's just worried.
I know how he feels.
( yawns )
Red Alert,
I just can't understand it.
RED ALERT: What's that?
SMOKESCREEN: You know.
I don't know why Optimus
let that slimeball Scavenger
into our group.
I must admit,
he did give us a lot of info
on the new Mini-Con combo
Skyboom Shield,
but I don't trust him.
But he's on our side now,
right?
I know. I don't like it.
He betrayed the Decepticons,
remember?
He might turn around
and do the same to us someday
if we don't keep an eye
on him.
I mean, that's what Sideways
did to us.
Hmm.
SMOKESCREEN:
There's no way of knowing
if this guy is really
our ally or not.
RED ALERT:
Smokescreen,
give Scavenger a chance
before you jump
to conclusions.
( grunts )
All right.
CARLOS:
So I'm not the only one
who has his doubts
about Scavenger.
I think I'm gonna keep an eye
on him too.
MEGATRON:
What are you trying to say?
STARSCREAM:
Sir, I was just saying
we shouldn't let that traitor
just walk away.
MEGATRON:
And why not? Ugh!
Megatron,
don't you understand?
Scavenger has seen our base.
He knows all about
our operation.
He'll reveal our position
to the enemies.
Exactly what makes you
think that?
He made a very hasty exit,
and he gave no real reason
for leaving us.
CYCLONUS:
Just because
he's a no-good deserter
that doesn't mean he's formed
an alliance with the Autobots.
He's a bounty hunter.
He may have gone into combat
somewhere else for all we know.
( chuckling ):
Starscream, watch yourself.
If you keep running
your processor in overdrive,
pretty soon you won't be able
to transform properly.
( Cyclonus snickering )
SIDEWAYS:
Wherever Scavenger is now,
let's just hope
he gets what he deserves.
Yeah. If he did switch alliances
the way you did, Sideways,
we'll take care of him,
right?
You know what I mean?
( laughs )
No one double-crosses
the Decepticons
and gets away with it.
And Scavenger may have to learn
that lesson the hard way.
You're right.
If you find him,
I want you to bring me his head.
But, Megatron,
please let me.
Silence!
I wasn't talking to you!
( grunts )
I do not want to hear
your opinions anymore.
( grunting )
Megatron.
Yes, what is it,
Sideways?
Perhaps if we're lucky,
we may find Scavenger
working behind the scenes
with the Autobots
as a spy for us.
Now that would be a stroke
of luck, wouldn't it?
If and when we find him,
it will be my pleasure
to perform the necessary
interrogation, sir.
After all,
I just wanna do my part
for the Decepticons.
So how come you put so much
trust in Scavenger, Optimus?
Yeah. I don't get it.
You know,
he could be a spy.
What brought this on?
I see no reason
not to trust him.
CARLOS:
Remember, he stole a Mini-Con
from Red Alert
and handed it over
to Megatron.
You saw him do it.
I haven't forgotten,
and that's precisely
why we can trust him.
ALL:
Huh?
I think you lost us.
What are you
talking about?
That doesn't make any sense
at all.
( alarm blaring )
ALL: Huh?
We're all set, sir.
OPTIMUS: Good.
Red Alert, lock on
to the Mini-Con's coordinates.
I'm on it.
Where in the world
is Scavenger?
He's your instructor.
Isn't he coming?
I knew we couldn't
trust him.
HOT SHOT:
Uh, yeah. He's actually--
( loud footsteps )
( Scavenger groaning )
SCAVENGER:
What's all the racket about?
SMOKESCREEN:
We're moving out.
What do you think?
Oh, good.
I'm just in time then.
You are late.
SCAVENGER:
Don't worry, we'll make it.
Oh, by the way, remember to keep
that leg up when you kick.
Pardon me?
You just stay close to us
out there.
If you ask me, I don't think
you have what it takes
to be an Autobot warrior.
Hmm. You think so?
Very well. I'll stay behind
and guard the base.
ALL:
Huh?
I wouldn't wanna get in your way
or anything.
That's a good idea.
No arguments here.
No, Scavenger, come with us.
We're going to need your help.
Oh, great.
Of course.
As you wish, Optimus.
Can we come along too?
I'm sorry, kids,
we can't take you along
this time.
The Decepticons
have the Star Saber now.
It's bound to be
a fierce battle.
Aww!
Hey, it's for the best,
Carlos.
I know, but somebody's
gotta keep an eye
on Scavenger out there.
Don't have a meltdown.
You can still do that
from here using Laserbeak.
Yeah, but it's still
not the same.
OPTIMUS:
Red Alert, I want you
to hold down the fort.
RED ALERT:
Consider it done, Optimus.
( yawns )
( dramatic theme playing )
MEGATRON:
Hmm. I see they brought
the traitor along with them.
Hmm.
Look, it's Scavenger.
So he did join up
with the enemy.
CYCLONUS:
I can't wait to take a piece
out of him.
MEGATRON:
You'll wait
till I give the order.
Optimus Prime.
Today is the day
the Decepticons destroy
the Autobots.
You're wrong again, Megatron,
and we're going to prove it.
And today you'll feel the power
of the Autobot team.
Let's do this.
Keep talking,
you underdogs.
Victory will be mine today.
( yawns )
MEGATRON:
Decepticons, prepare to attack.
This is the end, Prime.
If that's what you think
then I hope you brought backup,
because you'll need it.
Enough talk!

HOT SHOT:
Hey, Optimus.
( chuckling ):
What's wrong, Optimus?
Why aren't you fighting back?
Come on.
Don't play games with me.
I'm not in the mood.

No.
Stay where you are,

Ugh. Where's Scavenger
when you need him?
( grunting )
Huh?
No way. If Optimus trusts him,
I trust him.
Scavenger,
front and center.
What? He's disappeared.
DEMOLISHER: What?
Aw, it looks like Scavenger
wasn't such a great ally
after all.
That traitor.
I knew we couldn't trust him.
Hey, don't say that.
Then how come
when we need him the most
he's nowhere to be found,
Hot Shot?
And you wanna know why?
Because when the going
gets tough,
he heads for the hills
and disappears, that's why.
No. You're wrong.
SMOKESCREEN:
Open your eyes, Hot Shot.
HOT SHOT:
He's my instructor.
I don't want to believe it,
but maybe
Smokescreen's right.
Maybe Scavenger did
desert us.

RAD: Optimus Prime.
ALEXIS: Come on. Hang in there.
Man, I wonder where Scavenger
could have gotten too?
I think he ran away.
Yo. Red Alert.
Hmm.
( grunting )
( Megatron chuckling )
Well, Optimus,
there's no where left
for you to run.
At last, I'll finally
be rid of you
and your third-rate
Autobot team for good.
No.
Would you let go of me.
You're not going
anywhere.
( grunting )
Come out, Scavenger,
and show them who's boss.
Scavenger!
RAD:
The Decepticons have our guys
on the ropes.
We better do something,
or the Autobots will be history.
Aah! Red Alert,
pan over to the left a little.
Look over at the cliff
behind Optimus.
ALL:
Huh?
It's him. It's Scavenger.
How'd he get
over there?
And what's the dude up too?
Maybe he's planning a sneak
attack on the Decepticons.
No way.
If he was gonna attack,
I'm sure he would have done it
by now.
Yeah, you're right.
If you're gonna sneak up
on someone,
the best way to do it
is from behind. Huh?
No. He wouldn't.
The one Scavenger
is going to attack is Optimus.
I knew he was
a Decepticon spy.
Hey, Red Alert.
Contact Optimus now.
Red Alert?
( Megatron chuckling )
MEGATRON:
Give it up, Optimus.
You can't save yourself.
And one more step
and it's all over.
Your fate has been sealed
from the day that we first met.
( Megatron laughs )
( snarls )
Good riddance!
It ends here.
Transform.
What? Ugh!
Stop it.
What are you doing?
If I'm going down,
then you're coming with me.
You planned this all along.
You tricked me.

( all gasping )
Optimus, no!
Hey, who's that?
Huh?
Look, it's him.
It's Scavenger.
I've got better things to do
than hang around with you,
Megatron.
Have a nice fall.
( Megatron screaming )
Scavenger?
Scavenger!
( grunting )
( all gasp )
Whoa.
No! It can't be!
Megatron.
Are you all right,
Optimus?
Yes, thanks, and you?
I'm fine.
Is that Scavenger?
Scavenger.
CARLOS:
Whoa. That was too cool.
So Scavenger was planning
on saving Optimus all along.
He was hiding
because he was waiting
for the right moment
to spring into action.
Boy, that was pretty risky
of Optimus
to put all of his trust
in Scavenger like that.
Not really, kids.
Those two are old friends.
They've fought many battles
together.
When things get tough,
they know they can count
on each other.
I don't understand.
Weren't they enemies?
That's right.
Optimus and Scavenger
once fought
against each other
in combat.
But they realized
they were better off as allies
instead of enemies.
They are both
proud warriors
who share similar beliefs.
So you mean they became friends,
right, dude?
Yes, Carlos. And as friends,
they go out of their way
to help each other,
even if there's great danger
and they must put themselves
in harm's way.
( all gasp )
Scavenger is a noble warrior
who fights
for the common good,
sometimes at great
personal risk.
Oh. So you mean Scavenger
gave Megatron
that Mini-Con
because he was--?
Because he knew it was
a sacrifice he had to make
for the Autobots.
He deceived the Decepticons
and infiltrated their base
and learned all about
their operation.
CARLOS:
Well, then why didn't he tell us
all that in the first place?
When you're trying to gain
someone's trust,
sometimes actions speak
a lot louder than words can.
And in my opinion,
Scavenger could very well be
the trustworthiest
of all the Autobots.
Oh, man.
Was I wrong about him.
Yeah, I know,
but you're not the only one.
Well, I know he'll make
the perfect instructor
for Hot Shot.
For sure.
( grunting )
( loud whirring )
Scavenger, I swear
I'll get you for this.
Yeah, we did it again.
And the good guys
come out on top.
Hey, Decepticons,
you had enough?
( grunting )
They've got us.
Hey, you.
When you feel like joining us,
come over.
Oh, my aching motherboard.
What a worthless
piece of junk.
Hey, speaking of worthless junk,
where's Sideways
disappeared too?

HOT SHOT:
Ha. They're on the run again.
SMOKESCREEN: Scavenger.
Hmm?
I just wanted to say
you did some good work today.
And there's something else
I should tell you.
I really want to apologize
for the things I said
back there.
I was way out of line,
and I'm sorry about that.
Yeah, me too.
You're my instructor
and I had serious doubts
about you.
I'm sorry for that.
SCAVENGER:
Okay. Are you two all done now?
Because if you are,
I think we should start looking
for that Mini-Con.
All this talk is starting
to make me sleepy.
HOT SHOT:
Scavenger?
SCAVENGER:
It's boring talking about things
that are in the past.
It never does any good.
Apologies accepted.
Now let's get back
to business, okay?
( Smokescreen chuckles )
Yeah, you got it.
I'd say that about wraps
things up, don't you think?
Yeah.
RAD:
And that was how Scavenger
became really tight
with the rest of the team.
And even Carlos learned
to trust
the newest member
of the Autobots.
Eventually.
( Scavenger snoring )
( Hot Shot grunting )
Boy, am I glad
that things are back to normal
once again, Rad.
Yeah, I am too.
But I still can't get used
to Scavenger's snoring yet.
CARLOS:
Hey, guys, it could be worse,
right?
BOTH:
Huh?
RAD:
What do you mean?
Well, you know, we've got to let
the big guy get his rest.
Because if we don't,
he could end up
sleeping on the job, and that
would be really dangerous.

You said it.
