HOT SHOT:
It all started
with a distant memory.
something from the past.
A battle on Cybertron
had gone badly.
And a friend of mine
was trapped.
And I remember...
Well...
I remember I was trying
to help him.
( grunting )
Forget it, Wheeljack.
I can't move it!
You wait here.
Hot Shot,
please don't go!
Don't leave me here alone.
I need you to stay with me!
Take it easy, Wheeljack.
I'm just gonna go get help.
I'll come back for you soon.
Okay?
Don't worry about a thing.
I'll come back.
I swear it.
( sighs )
I'll be waiting.
Forget it!
SOLDIER:
The flames are too hot!
Let's get out of here before
we're melted down to scrap!
Are you nuts?
One of my friends
is still in there!
It's hopeless, Hot Shot.
Forget about him.
( growling )
Stop him!
Let me go!
I have to go back for him.
( grunting )
You're not going
anywhere now, Hot Shot.
The unit is more important
than a single soldier.
Wheeljack...

He's gung ho.
I'll give him that.
ALEXIS: What's he doing now?
HOT SHOT: Not much.
Ready for duty,
Commander Blurr!
SIDE SWIPE:
So nice to see you again!
Huh?
Uh...
He's talking to you.
You know him, don't you?
No, I don't know who he is.
He knows your name, Blurr.
BLURR: So what?
Hey, maybe
you just forgot.
Why don't you
take another look?
He doesn't look familiar.
Have you forgotten me, sir?
It's Sideswipe,
your good friend
and comrade-in-arms.
Sideswipe...
Remember now?
No.
Enough already.
Can we just bring him in now?
All this remembering
is giving me
a gigantic headache.
SIDE SWIPE:
What, You don't remember me
at all, Commander Blurr?
I'm sorry.
I don't.
Come on,
remember that r*fle?
You aimed it at me,
like this.
At you?
Uh...well, you weren't
aiming it "at" me.
You were aiming at a rope
wrapped around my leg.
Now do you remember?
No.
Maybe this will help you.
Hmm?
( gasps )
Hey, what is this...the circus?
Ahem.
"Help!
Would somebody help me!"
Hmm.
BLURR:
All right,
hold still.
SIDE SWIPE:
Wait!
Wait a minute!
What's your problem now?
You still haven't
told me your name!
My name is Sideswipe!
My name's Blurr.
Wait a minute, Blurr!
What is it?
Just please make sure
you don't blow off my leg
or anything, please?
If you're worried,
get yourself out of this mess.
No! Don't leave me.
sh**t when I give you
the signal, all right!
( inhaling )
Okay,
fire away anytime!
Oh, brother.
Ah!
SIDESWIPE:
Blurr, remember,
you blasted the rope off my leg
with only a single shot.
Yeah, that was
a nice one, Blurr.
Ever since then, it's been
my mission to find you, Blurr,
and accompany you
into battle.
I found out
you were here on Earth,
so I made up an excuse
to get transferred here.
( sighs )
So after all that time,
you tracked him down?
Nice move. I've always thought
of Blurr as my hero too.
I promise not to get
in your way, Commander, sir.
You already are.
I don't have time for this.
Take it easy, Blurr.
Wait! Come back,
Commander. I...
He's the weakest Transformer
I've ever seen.
Yeah, that's for sure.
Is anybody looking?
No, they're all gone.
BILLY:
I'm gonna kick
your butt this time.
In your dreams,
dogbreath.
You're going down,
buddy.
No, you're going down.
Eat that!
Eat that!
BILLY:
Take that.
And that, And that!
How do you like that?
Gimme a break!
FRED:
I think my controller
is stuck or something.
Whoa!
Whoa!
BILLY:
Yeah!
ALEXIS:
Hey,
what are you doing?
I don't believe it.
You're playing games?
We weren't playing a game,
we were just analyzing...uh...
So you wanna try it?
You gotta be kidding me!
You nut!
Busted.
Ha, ha...
SIDESWIPE:
Commander Blurr...
hold on.
Wait up a second.
Please, let me help you.
I insist,
let me give you a hand.
Get out of my way.
I'm busy!
Huh?
I have work to do,
and you're interfering with me.
I'm very sorry, sir.
I did not mean to interfere.
Uh,
let me help you.
Oh...
Oh, brother.
I'm so sorry,
sir.
Quit trying to tag along
and leave me alone.
Oh.
HOT SHOT:
You gotta be kidding me?
Why should I be the one
who has to look after him?
I mean, come on!
He came here to be with you.
He tracked you down.
You know what, it's kinda cute,
if you think about it.
He needs to study
under a fellow team mate.
What is wrong with you?
OPTIMUS:
Give it a try,
will you?
Optimus!
I'm with Blurr
on this one.
Sideswipe needs someone
to show him the ropes.
But, Optimus,
what do I know about teaching?
I'm leaving Sideswipe
in your hands, Hotshot.
I'm sorry, Hot Shot.
It's the only way.

Of all the rotten luck.
I can't believe I have

Oh, there he is standing

This is impressive.
Trying to rust
yourself to scrap.
I'm not going
to rust myself.
Yeah, then what
are you doing?
Don't tell me you're crying
'cause Blurr told you
to quit following him around?
Me...crying?
I'm standing guard,
for your information!
Standing guard?
Standing guard for what?
Ah, whatever. I have
orders from Optimus for ya.
What?
Orders from Optimus!
Attention, soldier!
Yes, sir!
Sideswipe, as of this moment,
you will be working
under the supervision

Under Hot Shot?
That's right, kid.
Oh, who's that?
I am! I'm Hot Shot,

Hey, all right...not too bad.

( screaming )
Somebody help me, please!
( whimpering )
SIDESWIPE:
I'm sorry for all
the trouble I've caused you.
HOT SHOT:
Ah, don't worry about it, kid.
It's no big deal.
I feel so embarrassed.
I tend to let my emotions
get the best of me.
( chuckles )
Boy!
That's an understatement.
When I was saved by Blurr,
it was like a real
wake-up call for me.
He rescued me
without even...
Well, even knowing
who I was.
He didn't think twice
about it.
And when I went to thank him,
he had already gone.
I owe him my life.
Compared to Blurr,
I was a joke.
I was sleepwalking
my way through life,
hanging around
with a bad crowd,
getting into all kinds
of trouble.
Oh, yeah,
Sideswipe?
So you decided you wanted
to change, huh?
It's like I've been reborn.
And it's all thanks
to Commander Blurr.
You've got some work
to do yet.
Huh?
Check out this view.
It's amazing.
I've seen a lot of planets
in my lifetime.
But this is the most
beautiful, by far.
Hmm.
Sideswipe, changing your life
is not an easy thing to do.
But I'm going to do it!
I wanna be just
as dedicated as Blurr!
But you're not
Commander Blurr.
Huh?
You gotta be yourself.
You have to focus on your
strengths and weaknesses.
The first thing
to do is figure out
a reachable goal for yourself
and then work toward it.
Starting today.
Starting right now.
And it has to start with you,
not Commander Blurr.
You have to forget
about the past.
Oh.
Blurr works to improve
what he has,
that's why he's
an impressive warrior.
You just need
some fine-tuning.
Hm.
Now, it's time
to get back to business!
Yes, sir!
( growling softly )
FRED:
Take that.
Oh! Oh-ho!
Oh, you did it!
You took his head off.
Sweet.
That was so awesome!
Yeah,
no doubt.
I thought you said
this video game was a hard one?
Yo, Sideswipe,
slow down!
I thought
you wanted to race.
Not again.
Get behind me.
That's an order.
( chuckling )
Listen to the big man,
barking out orders!
Sideswipe!
Okay, okay. I'm coming!
Prepare yourself,
Hot Shot.
You're about to get a little
surprise from your past.
You may have forgotten
what you did to me
but I will never forget!
SIDESWIPE:
Huh?
Hey, Hot Shot, there's a strange
black car coming up behind us.
And it's coming fast.
Well, looks like
someone on Earth
is as big of a show off
as you are.
Don't sweat it!
No problem-o, boss.
I'm okay if you're okay.
Here he comes.
( Wheeljack laughing )
What's he doing?
( Wheeljack laughs )
Greetings, Hot Shot,
my old friend!
HOT SHOT:
Huh?
Sideswipe!
Nobody does that to me!
( laughing )
Oh!
So, Hot Shot,
does this look familiar?
Hmm?
Huh?
SIDESWIPE:
You're not going
to get away with this!
Come on!
Don't do it!
Transform!
( yells )
Sideswipe,
don't go off on your own!
Wait a minute...that car...
I remember now.
( quiet theme playing )
What is it?
I want you to take care
of a young soldier.
He's skilled,
but has no battle experience.
Show him the ropes.
His name is Wheeljack.
WHEELJACK:
I'm exceedingly proud
to be fighting
alongside you,
Hot Shot.
My unit has heard
all about you.
Even Optimus has asked you
to join his troops, correct?
Yeah, it'd be cool
if I end up going.
But it's just talk right now.
Still, it's an honor, Hot Shot.
I envy you.
I wish I could be
more like you.
I hope that we can
always be friends,
even if fate or the battle,
separates us once again.
You got it, pal.
HOT SHOT:
We'll always be friends,
Wheeljack.
Help me, Hot Shot.
Don't leave me.
I'm just gonna go
for help.
I'll come back
for you soon.
Are you nuts?
One of my friends
is still in there!
Let me go!
I have to go after him!
HOT SHOT:
Wheeljack!
Wheeljack ( chuckling ):
Here he comes.
You won't get away
so easy this time!
( tires screeching )
Where did he go?
( Sideswipe screaming )
Jerk! You wanna
go for it, pal?
Huh?
What in the world's
going on here?
( Wheeljack laughing )
( Sideswipe grunting )
Sideswipe,
hold on!
( Sideswipe grunting )
( laughing )
This is the end for you!
Oh!
Transform!
( distant crash )
( chuckling )
That showed him who's boss.
( tires screeching )
Transform!
Sideswipe.
Well, well.
Look who finally showed up!
Too bad you missed
the party.
What are you saying?
Transform!
Looks like you've gotten better
at abandoning your inferiors.
Wheeljack...
you're still alive!
( chuckling )
Surprised, Hot Shot?
Well, I'll tell you
something else.
The Wheeljack
you abandoned is dead.
I've been reborn.
I'm sorry,
Wheeljack.
( groaning )
Forgive me,
Wheeljack, old buddy,
There was nothing
I could do.
But leave my friend
out of this.
This is between
you and me.
You call him your friend?
( chuckling )
I think you're
mistaken, Hot Shot.
I didn't come here
for revenge.
I'm no longer
the Wheeljack you knew.
Like I've said,
I've been reborn.
I've become...a Decepticon.
No!
It's...not true!
Sorry, but it is.
Our friendship is over!
Let's forget the past
and get on with our lives
so we can battle
as enemies.
Understand?
There's nothing I can do
to change the past.
But why are you
doing this, Wheeljack?
Hot Shot, when you left me
trapped in the wreckage,
I truly believed you were
coming back for me.
WHEELJACK:
But then the flames
overcame me,
and I knew that the end
was upon me at last.
( grunting )
When I saw a distant figure
approaching,
at first,
I thought it was you.
( dramatic theme playing )
No, Wheeljack...it can't be!
It's true!
Megatron saved me.
My life belongs
to Megatron from now on.
Be prepared,
Hot Shot.
I am stronger
than I was before.
I'm stronger than
even you are.
