NARRATOR:
The b*ttlefield has shifted.
The Autobots and Decepticons
are racing through space
to face the greatest evil
the Transformers
have ever encountered.
They have entered...
The Unicron Battles.
♪ Transformers ♪
STARSCREAM:
Galvatron, why do we
have to fight?
For just this once,
can't you put aside
your petty argument
with Optimus?
That's enough. How dare you
question me, Starscream.
But if we don't join forces
with the Autobots,
chances are good
that both sides
won't survive
the wrath of Unicron.
GALVATRON:
You're testing my patience.
I'm just worried there
won't be a second chance
before Unicron destroys
the universe as we know it.
GALVATRON:
Enough about Unicron.
I'm sick and tired of listening
to your pathetic whining.
And the day will soon come
when Unicron is defeated.
It will be too late.
You simpleton.
Optimus and I are sworn enemies.
But Galvatron sir, I don't think
Optimus would make this offer
unless he truly
believed it.
( yelling )
Let me give you
fair warning, Starscream.
Don't you dare
cross me again.
I would never.
You've got
to believe me.
Hmmm.
I beg of you, sir, listen.
You and Optimus must put aside
your differences right away,
or there'll be nothing left
to defend on either side.
Don't you realize
the gravity of this?
Would you give it a rest.
Galvatron knows
what he's doing.
Yeah, unless of course
you're ready to jump ship again,
you useless traitor.
( chuckles )
Go ahead and laugh.
But soon that pea brain of yours
will be sorry.
Oh, I think Optimus is the one
that will be sorry,
as soon as I defeat him.
And that goes
for Unicron as well.
Huh?
GALVATRON:
See, my dear Starscream,
there can only be one supreme
commander of the universe.
And trust me,
in due course,
I shall eliminate
my competition.
I can't believe
you still think
you can defeat Unicron
all by your--
I don't care
what you believe.
I will destroy Optimus first
and then I'll worry
about Unicron.
That's insanity.
The only way we can survive
is if our two armies
join forces, Galvatron.
GALVATRON:
Enough!
( grunting )
You can't do this, sir.
But I must give you credit
for seeing through Thrust
and his attempt
to subvert my plans.
In that regard,
I was quite impressed.
However, I require
one's full loyalty.
Is any of this
sinking in, Starscream?
I understand, sir.
Gentlemen, it appears
we have a date with destiny.
Follow my lead.
ALL: Yes, sir.
What's the matter,
Starscream?
Are you just
going to sit there and mope,
or are you going to join us
and kick some Auto-butt?
Oh, and you better hurry up
and make up your mind,
or else you'll miss
Galvatron's victory party.
( cackles )
Would someone explain
what's going on?
BILLY:
Get in the game, Fred.
Optimus is meeting up
with the Decepticons.
I just don't get it,
I mean, I understand what
Optimus wants to do and all,
but I don't trust
that Galvatron one little bit.
Well, guys, I guess we just
have to trust Optimus.
OPTIMUS:
I understand your suspicion,
but to defeat Unicron,
we need everyone we can recruit,
including Galvatron.
There's no way he's gonna
buy into your plan, Optimus.
Well, that goof
doesn't have a choice.
OPTIMUS:
But we'll give him one.
I've got a lock, sir.
Decepticons approaching
at o'clock.
Attention, men.
It's time to head them off.
But remember,
this is not a battle.
All we want to do
is talk to Galvatron.
I don't want
any Decepticons harmed,
so it's imperative
that we fire only in defense.
Red Alert, you stay
and look after the ship.
( dramatic theme playing )
I wish I knew what to do.
It's easy.
The only thing you have to say
is "thank you."
I believe in you,
Starscream.
I must protect the humans.
I must.
( yelling )
( wind gusting )
Just remember
what Optimus said.
We fire back only in defense,
no matter what, men.
Yeah, yeah,
we know.
But I got to tell you, Hoist,
it isn't going to be easy.
I hate those
Decepticons.
HOT SHOT:
That goes for you too, Hoist.
HOIST:
You don't have to worry
about me, boys.
Zip it, men.
We've got company.
HOT SHOT:
Okay, nobody fire
on Galvatron's ship.
We just let him
pass on through.
Then I'll play decoy.
You got that, guys?
You bet, Hot Shot.
You got it, buddy.
We got you covered.
Have you spotted him yet,
Demolishor?
Dead ahead, sir.
In the valley below.
Then let's take her down.
Wait a minute.
It appears he's not alone.
Spare me the details,
Demolishor.
All I'm just interested in
is Optimus.
Uh, yes, sir.
Let's go, Tidal Wave.
Transform!
GALVATRON:
You're all mine, Prime!
There he is, men. And he's
packing the Star Saber Sword.
Take cover.
CYCLONUS:
Ready or not, here we come,
Auto-boobs.
( cackles )
Well, I guess
we just don't aim.
Hey, let's keep them
busy, okay?
It's better to aim high
than just doing nothing at all.
Cut the chatter, men,
and focus on your targets.
Remember, we don't want
any casualties out there.
Hey, look,
it's Wheeljack.
I thought
he was on our side.
RED ALERT:
So did I.
But it looks like he had
a change of heart, Carlos.
I suppose once
you become a Decepticon,
you'll always
be a Decepticon.
He's an honorable soldier
and I'm sure he feels
he must live up
to the Decepticon oath.
Let's just hope Optimus
can convince Galvatron
to join with us,
otherwise he's our enemy.
Oh, man, I can't tell
who's who anymore.
No kidding.
RED ALERT:
I suggest we forget
about the Decepticons
for the moment
and concentrate
on our side.
You're right,
Red Alert.
We've got stand
behind our troops.
GALVATRON:
There you are, Prime.
It's time
to shut you down.
( machine-g*n fire )
So you want to negotiate,
do you?
Okay, I'm game.
Let's play it your way.
Let the negotiations begin.
What's wrong,
you forget your a*mo?
Guess again,
Galvatron.
You fool!
Jetfire.
I hear you, sir.
And I'm coming in.
OPTIMUS:
Powerlink.
Jet Optimus. Transform.
Oh, Optimus, you and your
fancy little gadgets.
Huh? What the...?
Oh, no, you don't. You're not
getting away this time.
What's wrong?
I thought you wanted
to have a little chitchat,
Prime?
I do, but only when
you calm down, Galvatron.
You just want
to get rid of Unicron.
Yeah, right.
Nice try,
but it's not going to work.
( yells )
( laughs )
I guess this is where
it finally ends, Optimus Prime.
Your lust for power sickens me.
Don't you get it?
You're the one
that's about to get it.
You misjudge me, Prime.
I don't like games.
There can only be one leader
in this universe,
and unfortunately,
it's not going to be you.
Now do the honorable thing,
you miserable coward.
Stand up and fight.
( grunts )
Excellent.
It looks like
we're back in business.
Tidal Wave, attack.
TIDAL WAVE:
Attack!
I see you're in need
of a w*apon, Prime.
I didn't come here
to fight.
But if you attack,
I'll defend myself.
Ha! You're a fool
to the end, Optimus.
( howls )
JETFIRE:
Optimus!
TIDAL WAVE:
Galvatron!
Cannonball.
Would you please just
butt out of this, Tidal Wave?
Can't you see
Optimus and I
were right in the middle
of our negotiations?
Now go play
somewhere else.
( a*tillery fire )
( screams )
Now that's what I call
a bull's-eye.
I'll take out the trash,
Optimus.
You take care
of Galvatron.
Jetfire.
( Galvatron laughs )
GALVATRON:
Well, I guess
that leaves you and me.
Just the way I imagined it.
So let's cut to the chase
and get this over with,
shall we?
You're mine.
( grunts )
How long have we been
adversaries, Optimus?
It seems like since
the beginning of time.
And I suppose I do have
a certain respect for you,
but I digress.
You might have fooled
Starscream
with your little
truce ploy,
but I'm nobody's fool.
Now let's end this charade,
shall we?
It's not a charade.
GALVATRON:
Enough!
( howls )
Starscream didn't fall
for anything.
He just saw the truth.
Don't feed me
your lies.
( grunts )
The Decepticons and Autobots
are like oil and water.
We could never join forces.
You and I
both know it's true.
That leaves only
one question to be answered.
Who will be left
to rule the universe?
Don't be a fool.
You're in no position
to call me names.
I grow tired
of your mind games,
and it's time
to end this conversation.
It's been a real pleasure
knowing you, Optimus Prime.
Sayonara.
( grunting )
What's the matter?
You're not so tough,
are you?
Wait, I've got it.
You're waiting for
the Mini-Cons to save you.
Well, you're out of luck,
because they aren't
coming this time.
What?
( grunts )
It's...
GALVATRON:
I don't believe it.
Starscream.
The game's over,
Galvatron.
♪ Transformers ♪
GALVATRON:
I hope you realize
you're playing
a very dangerous game,
Starscream.
I've made my choice,
Galvatron.
There's only one path
to surviving Unicron
and that's
to follow Optimus.
Why you...
Stay out of this,
Starscream.
This is between
Galvatron and me.
Now just back away.
I don't mean
any disrespect, Optimus,
but I'm not going
anywhere.
You understand
you'll pay for this.
No one defies my command
and gets away with it.
Sorry. I don't work
for you anymore.
I've made up my mind
to bring this to an end.
And once all is said and done,
Unicron will be destroyed
and the universe
will be at peace.
May I suggest
that you have lost your mind.
I'll destroy you.
Come and get a taste
of my blade, Galvatron.
Anyone heard anything
from Optimus yet?
Nada.
Am I nuts, or are they
missing on purpose?
The obvious answer, Cyclonus,
is you're nuts.
Knock it off, you two.
This just might be
an Autobot trap.
Well, why don't we just have
a little look-see?
Transform.
Time to get
this party started.
( cackles )
CAROLS:
Oh! I've never seen
so much firepower before.
FRED:
And what happened to Optimus?
Oh, man, it looks like
his whole strategy
has gone completely
out the window.
Don't worry.
Hmm?
Everything is going to be
all right, you guys.
GALVATRON:
I'll give you one last chance
to save your neck, Starscream.
STARSCREAM:
My only chance is to see
you unite with Optimus.
I hope you know what
you're doing, Starscream.
ALEXIS:
What's going on?
Unicron's starting
to change his form again.
( beeping )
Huh?
ALEXIS:
Look, Rad.
The Mini-Cons are headed
towards Unicron.
FRED:
Oh, no! The horror!
The horror!
No, High Wire.
I can't let you out there.
It's too dangerous.
CARLOS:
Just hang in there, okay.
We've got to give Optimus
a little more time.
And you've got to tell
the other Mini-Cons to stay put.
I've often wondered
what it would be like
to battle against you,
Galvatron.
But your words are stronger
than your fighting abilities.
I'm very disappointed.
You insolent fool.
( screams )
Oh, no.
( yells )
An "A" for effort.
But unfortunately,
your misguided aspirations
are about to end
in failure, Starscream.
This battle's
far from over, Galvatron.
Oh, right. I forgot who you are.
A mere Decepticon soldier
whose programming
has gone haywire.
I admire your moxie,
but sadly I must inform you
your brave attempt
to overthrow me
is about to end
in failure.
Unless of course, you decide
to turn and walk away right now.
And maybe,
if I'm still in a good mood,
I might spare
your miserable life.
This is my final offer,
Starscream.
All right, then.
I believe you've made
your final decision,
haven't you?
Well, now it's time to pay
the consequences, soldier.
Get down!
What's happening?
Unbelievable.
GALVATRON:
Oh, I'm impressed, Starscream,
but not enough to be worried.
So do the smart thing
and back down
while you still can.
Better hurry and decide,
Starscream.
( laughs )
Time's up.
Huh?
( grunting )
You're starting to annoy me,
Starscream.
It's the least I can do.
Starscream,
where in the universe
did you get
all this power?
Right now, that doesn't matter,
does it, Galvatron?
Tell me, why did you let me run
you through like that, soldier?
( groans )
This has all been
a complete waste of my time.
I remember
a very long time ago,
I swore an oath
to you, Galvatron.
And I could never
break that oath.
You had this planned
all along, didn't you?
I did, sir.
But all of this
could have been prevented
if you only had given me
some respect.
Save your breath,
Starscream.
I tried to gain favor
from you,
but nothing
was ever good enough.
No matter how many battles
I fought,
you always
found fault.
Then, I saw how
Optimus treated his men
and I realized
he was a leader of integrity.
Unlike you.
You were too weak
to ever gain my respect.
STARSCREAM:
None of that matters now.
You must listen.
Do as Optimus says and
join forces with the Autobots,
or else every last one of us
is doomed.
( grunts and groans )
Please, sir,
do it for me.
No, Starscream! Don't!
( yells )
It's time to finish this
once and for all.
Activate Proton Cannon!
You're all mine,
Unicron!
What's going on
out there, Alexis?
Alexis.
Alexis, wait.
( panting )
Alexis, wait up.
OPTIMUS:
It's over, Swindle.
But he fought like
a brave soldier until the end.
STARSCREAM:
I tried to gain favor from you,
but nothing
was ever good enough.
No matter how many battles
I fought,
you always found fault.
Then, I saw how
Optimus treated his men
and I realized he was
a leader of integrity.
Unlike you.
GALVATRON:
What the--?
Everything is now
in place.
GALVATRON:
Sideways.
SIDEWAYS:
And the mighty Unicron
shall inherit
the Star Saber Sword.
OPTIMUS:
No!
I'd love to stay and chat,
but we have a universe
to destroy.
Not so fast, Sideways.
( yells )
Oh, what else
can go wrong?
This is a nightmare.
( g*nf*re )
( cackles )
( gasps )
Starscream, no!
( groans )
( sobbing )
Huh?
Alexis...
Huh?
Why?
Why?
Why did Starscream
do that to himself?
I wish I had
the answers, Alexis.
RAD:
Starscream was gone.
And right now it seemed
his demise was in vain.
Yet like all things in life,
we would have to wait
to find out the true reason
why he did what he did.
But for now,
there are too many questions
without any answers.
