NARRATOR:
The w*r between the Autobots
and the Decepticons rages on
as they struggle to retrieve
the prized Mini-Cons.
The side who wins is the side
that collects the most.
And if the Decepticons
prove victorious,
then Megatron and his corrupt
Mini-Cons control the universe.
The Earth's only chance
for a peaceful cosmos
is for Optimus Prime
and the Autobots
to destroy their enemy.
Now get ready
for a new battle.
♪ Transformers ♪
What? The Skyboom Shield?
I'll cut it into pieces.
( grunting )
Give it to me, Optimus.
Never!
RAD:
Okay, sure. The Star Saber
and the Skyboom Shield
could cause some serious damage
in the wrong hands.
But the big mystery was,
where did these weapons
come from
and why were the Autobots
being so secretive about it?
How come?
Yeah.
How come we can't come
to the base?
You gotta give us a reason,
Hot Shot.
Sorry,
that's the way it's gotta be.
( grunts )
You can't stop me to--
BLURR:
It's a direct order
from Optimus.
I cannot let you pass.
No way. Optimus would never
give an order like that.
Blurr is right.
Now, please do as you're told,
Carlos.
This could get dangerous.

♪ Transformers ♪
( suspenseful theme playing )
Attention. All Mini-Cons
will now fight by my side.
You will obey only Megatron
or suffer the consequences.
Do you understand?
Hurry up. You're too slow.
Get in formation.
( beeping )
All right. Time to program
the battle sequence.
I'll switch
into full-blast mode
while you Mini-Cons
distract the enemy's attention.
Then I'll strike
with the Star Saber.
Ready?
Commence combat simulation
on my mark.
Aah! Full-blast mode.
Attack!
Mini-Cons attack! Huh?
That's just to remind you
there will be other Autobots
in the area, sir.
( grunts )
Just stay out of this.
Mini-Cons.
Your duty is to disrupt
the enemy's communications.
Do you understand me?
( beeping )
OPTIMUS:
Hot Shot and Blurr will lead
this defensive formation.
Smokescreen will remain
in the rear.
And before we engage
the Decepticons in combat,
he will pass
the Skyboom Shield forward.
Why Smokescreen?
OPTIMUS:
Because Smokescreen will have
the best view of the action.
And his Longarm launcher
makes him best suited
to carry the Skyboom Shield.
BLURR:
Good plan.
OPTIMUS:
And if necessary,
the Shield can be passed
to Scavenger or Red Alert.
That's great.
Then any one of us
can use the Skyboom Shield
at any time.
But remember,
without Smokescreen
this formation won't work
at all, Hot Shot.
Hey, pal, I know.
Chill out.
Don't worry about me.
I got it. I mean,
I'll be there. Don't worry.
Hey, we're counting on you.
We don't want the Decepticons
to get the upper hand,
Smokescreen.
Huh.
This could get very complicated.
We don't understand
the full power
of the Skyboom Shield yet.
But I wanna make sure
you're aware of the dangers
when it's used
against the Star Saber.
We can't afford mistakes.
ALL:
Right.
( Sureshock beeping )
HOT SHOT:
What, Sureshock? We're trying
to have a meeting.
( Sureshock beeping )
Uh, translation, please.
I think he wants to know
why they're not coming
with us, sir.
I'm afraid
this mission is too risky.
( buzzes )
( beeping )
CARLOS:
So we're not allowed to go
near the Autobots
till they figure out what's up
with that sword and shield?
BILLY:
Optimus is just uptight.
Aw, man, it's not fair.
FRED:
What a rip-off.
RAD:
He knows what's best.
I mean, we all know
how powerful the Star Saber
and the Skyboom Shield are.
ALEXIS:
I think another battle
at the Astrogate
would be a pretty scary thing
to watch anyway.
I guess.
But we should do something.
I really don't like sitting
on the sidelines like this.
After all
I am a man of action, you know?
Let's have something to eat.
That will take our mind
off our troubles.
The fate of the world
is at stake
and all you think about
is food?
( groans )
( Sureshock beeping )
BOTH: Huh?
Hi, guys.
ALEXIS: How you doing?
RAD: What's going on?
( Sureshock continues beeping )
Sneaky. You followed us
all the way from the base.
Maybe they got
kicked out too.
I'm sure they just got lonely
back there, that's all.
( beeping )
( chuckles )
I say this calls
for a sandwich.
No.
Something's not right.
( Sureshock buzzes )
ALEXIS:
Sureshock says he's intercepted
a strange signal.
Wha--?
He says it's a message
from the Decepticon Mini-Cons
on the moon.
CARLOS: No way.
Huh?
( ominous theme playing )
CARLOS:
Why would the Mini-Cons
on the moon
be sending a message
to these guys down here?
Hey, maybe
they just wanna talk.
Yeah, I'm sure.
That's it.
They're lonely. Right.
No, wait. Fred's right.
Uh, yeah, sure.
Yeah, maybe the Mini-Cons
on the moon
wanna join up with their friends
down here on the Earth.
So you think those Mini-Cons
are worried about these guys?
Yeah. They want peace.
Do you think so?
RAD:
Yeah. It all makes sense now.
Don't you remember the Mini-Cons
that formed the Skyboom Shield?
They tried to protect Sparkplug
when Optimus and Megatron
were battling last time.
So up on the moon,
the Mini-Cons might be
under Megatron's control.
But I bet
they want no part of the w*r
that the Decepticons
are trying to start.
Good.
So I assume you made contact
with the Mini-Cons on Earth.
( beeping )
So if all goes
according to plan,
we'll at least get some use
out of them.
( upbeat theme playing )
Hey, are you sure
the Warp Gate is up here?
Positive, Carlos.
Warp Gate. Then what?
Wait.
We should tell Optimus.
Go get him, Rad.
We'll wait for you.
Let's go, Fred. Come on.
Okay.
But can we stop for lunch?
I'm starving.
( ominous theme playing )
I'll act as a decoy
and draw the Autobots
through the Warp Gates
and split them up.
Once they're separated
I'll contact you.
Until then
you will remain on standby.
DEMOLISHER:
Yes. Of course, Megatron.
( Cyclonus snickering )
CYCLONUS:
So for once, Megatron
is going to do some work.
And just think, we'll get
the Skyboom Shield as well.
Sure. If his plan works.
( chuckles )
FRED:
Yoo-hoo!
Come on. Is anybody home?
Hey, open up. Says me.
It's not working.
Hold on.
Optimus, it's Rad.
Sorry to bother you,
but the Decepticons' Mini-Cons
are on their way to Earth.
( whirring )
Huh? Huh?
Are you saying that you
intercepted the enemy's signal?
Enemy? Huh?
Uh, no, we're talking
about the Mini-Cons.
That explains
why Sparkplug was acting up.
We'll have to get
to that Warp Gate on the double.
FRED:
I don't think you understand
what we're saying.
We're gonna take care
of this.
You two stay here
where it's safe.
Huh?
But what about Alexis
and the others?
CARLOS:
Uh, are you sure
we went the right way?
( Sureshock beeping )
ALEXIS:
Sureshock says
this is the place.
Aah! Look.
BILLY:
Then where's the Warp Gate?
ALEXIS:
Whoa.
What?
( beeping and buzzing )
Hey, guys,
what was that?
OPTIMUS: Don't move.
Whoa!
All of you,
go back the way you came. Now!
( suspenseful theme playing )
Huh?
Come. This way.
Get back to the base
immediately.
Hey, what's the big deal?
He's gone.
FRED:
Oh, well,
there's nothing to be afaid of.
Look, I'll even prove--
Fred!
OPTIMUS: Rad!
( gasps )
No, wait. Optimus!
( grunts )
Hey, wait.
Don't leave us here alone.
Huh? Hey. You.
What Warp Gate
did Megatron go through again?
Huh? I don't know.
Uh, there's too much noise
on the signal right now.
What noise?
( snickering )
It looks like
one of the Mini-Cons
is messing with us.
How can you laugh? This is not a
joke.
We've all got to adjust
our equipment right now.
CYCLONUS:
Huh?
Why are you all
just standing there?
Get going!
We've got to make sure
Megatron gets back
to the base.
Go on! Get to work!
Sure. Whatever.
Yeah. We'll give it
our best shot.
Huh. Well, then start moving
on the double.
( computer beeping )
Ah, darn. I can't make contact
with Laserbeak at all.
Hmm.
Optimus, no.

Hey, Fred, are you all right?
Yeah.
FRED:
Aah! Hold me!
Aah! They're sh**ting at us!
I know that!
Promise you won't leave me.

Megatron?
What's he up too?
I want my mommy!
( whirring )
( Fred whimpers )
Let's move out.
They left without us.
I know. That's not the plan.
How am I supposed to pass
the Skyboom Shield to them?
Optimus!
Huh? Huh?
( echoing )
Can you hear me, Optimus?
( Fred whimpering )
( both screaming )
Huh?
Didn't I tell you it wasn't safe
for you two to come with me?
FRED:
Then let's go home.
It's too late now.
We're sorry, Optimus.
We just thought
that we could convince
some of the Mini-Cons
on the Decepticons' side
to help end all this fighting.
I understand.
I just know we can get
some of those Mini-Cons
to join us good guys.
It may be difficult
to get them on our side.
Megatron has a strong grip
on them.
FRED:
But why's that?
Believe it or not,
they look up to Megatron.
It may sound strange,
but they think of him
as kind of a father figure.
No way. I know those Mini-Cons
don't wanna fight.
I'm sure they want peace
just like everybody else.
They have to.
Uh, Fred.
I know you don't like it,
but this is the way
it has to be.
The Mini-Cons that are
on the Decepticons' side
are with our enemies.
If we back down,
we'll lose everything.
But all you've been doing
is fighting for years.
There has to be a way
for you to get along somehow.
( sighs )
( whirring )
Oh, not again.
Huh?
( wind whistling )
( all gasp )
( suspenseful theme playing )
( laughing )
Follow me, Optimus Prime.
As you wish.
Huh?
Huh?
( beeping )
Aah.
( suspenseful theme playing )
Now let's complete the plan.
Don't even think
about deserting me.
( beeping )
Ha, ha.
You better drop
those foolish ideas
from your data banks or I'll use
the Star Saber
to slice each one of you
in half.
( beeping )
MEGATRON:
As long as you remember that,
we'll get along just fine.
( Megatron laughing )
Megatron has done it.
What do you mean?
OPTIMUS:
This is all part of the plan.
He's divided the Autobots
and now intends
on conquering us.
No way.
OPTIMUS:
Look over there.
Megatron already has
his Mini-Con troops in place.
Aah!
It was a trap.
OPTIMUS:
I'm afraid you're right, Fred.
He's got us.
We're doomed for sure.
And I still haven't had
my lunch.
Attack!
( beeping )
Go on. I gave you an order
to attack them.
( beeping )
( grunting )
FRED:
Optimus. Please don't fire
on those Mini-Cons.
They're trying
to draw me out.
They're not. There's no way they
would try
to do something like that
on their own.
Optimus, please,
listen to me!
I know it's hard for you
to believe,
but those Mini-Cons
really don't wanna fight you.
They sent us a message.
They're on the level.
They want peace.
Honest.
You gotta trust me.
( sighs )
Please, Optimus.
I want you two to run for it
when I give you the signal.
This has to stop.
Yeah, wake up!
Go. Now!
( both grunting )
Come on.
Look, they're giving up.
Oh, no!
( suspenseful theme playing )
Get moving.
( both scream )
Optimus.
Huh? What's he doing?
They're gonna blast him
to pieces.
He's just trying
to protect us.
Why does he have
to do it this way?
Oh, no, he won't stop.
( thinking )
I don't know
if Fred and Rad are right,
but this is the only way
I'm going to know
if I can trust these Mini-Cons.
( laughing)
What do you think you're doing,
Optimus Prime?
Are you going to sacrifice
yourself on the Star Saber?
I never ordered you
to stop the attack, did I?
Fire until he's buried
in the ground.
( beeping )
( groans )
( whirring )
( groaning )
Ha-ha-ha. What a joke.
You're still refusing
to sh**t back
at these pathetic Mini-Cons.
You know what your problem is,
Optimus? You're soft.
Good riddance.
( slow theme playing )
( grunts )
( whimpers then sobs )
Why is he doing this?
I can't watch anymore.
I know Optimus believes
what we said
about those Mini-Cons.
Come on.
Hang in there, Fred.
( wailing )
We were wrong.
And Optimus can't take much more
of that m*ssile fire.
They won't let up on him.
It's not over yet.
( Optimus groaning )
( beeping )
What is it?
Oh, you want me
to finish him off?
( Mini-Cons beeping )
You've learned a lot
from me.
Well, I suspect
this will be the perfect ending
to a perfect day.
Hey, Optimus!
ALEXIS ( over radio ):
Come in, Rad.
Alexis?
Finally, I got through.
Something or someone
has been jamming
our communications all day.
Listen up.
Optimus is in big trouble.
They still need our help.
What is it, Alexis?
I've finally locked
into Megatron's signal.
Goodie. Then it's time
to go bash some Autobots.
No. We're supposed
to wait here
until we get the order
to move out.
Don't listen to Megatron.
You don't have to fight
anymore.
MEGATRON:
Can't you think of anything
better to say
for your last words?
All right, then,
I'll finish you off quickly
so I don't have to listen
to any more
of your pathetic speeches.
( groans )
( grunting )
What is this?
That's it.
( Mini-Cons beeping )
( both gasp )
All right, they did it!
The Mini-Cons
are gonna save Optimus.
Aah,

OPTIMUS:
It sure does.
Now that the mystery is solved.
What?
OPTIMUS:
When the Skyboom Shield
and the Star Saber
slammed into each other,
an incredible amount
of energy was released.
I know now that it was
the screams of the Mini-Cons
who had been forced
to fight a battle
they didn't want to fight.
Those poor Mini-Cons.
( beeping )
The Mini-Cons
sacrificed themselves.
Now we must liberate them all.
Yeah.
I agree.
And we'll need everyone

So it's the silent strength
of the Mini-Cons
that give the Star Saber
and the Skyboom Shield
their awesome power.
And under the control
of someone like Megatron,
they have no choice
but to do his bidding.
Well, that's gonna change.
Because my friends and I
are gonna make sure
