The Autobots and Decepticons

to face the greatest evil
the Transformers

They have entered...
The Unicron Battles.

ANNOUNCER:
In our last episode,
the combined armies
of the Decepticons
and the Autobots
seem to have
neutralized the threat
from the omnipotent Unicron,
who appears to be
out of commission.
But just as peace seems to have
settled upon the universe,
an old battle
is about to begin.
Man, I wonder
if Optimus and Galvatron
got out of there safely?
SIDESWIPE: Good question.
I tried getting them on the
radio, but I got no response.
I wouldn't worry too much.
I'd say those soldiers
are good enough
to take care of themselves
out there.
HOT SHOT:
Yeah, you're right Scavenger.
We'll meet them back
on Cybertron.
And for the rest of us,
I think it's best
we head back for a little R&R,
because I think we've earned
some time off, boys.
Oh, and one more thing.
Good work taking out Unicron.
( Galvatron chuckling )
Don't tell me you expected us
to remain partners
once Unicron
was destroyed, did you?
How foolish.
We were created
adversaries, Prime.
I see no need
to resume our battle.
Hm. You know you can't
leave this unresolved. Never!
( murmuring )
Oh, boy.
If we don't continue
our battle,
then everything we've done
in the past has been pointless.
There can only be one ruler
in the universe, understand?
And now that Unicron
is out of the way,
that leaves only you and me.
Optimus, you know very well
we could never reign as one.
Our fight shall continue
until either of us falls.
And I shall be
the last one standing
after I crush you, Prime,
just like this!
You just might be right,
Galvatron.
But Optimus...
Come on, you can't be serious.
This probably
isn't the time to ask,
but when are we
gonna eat, you guys?
Zip it, Fred, or I'll give you
my fist to chew on.
I can't believe you guys would
start this thing over again.
For your information, humans,
the one and only reason
I joined forces with Optimus
was to destroy Unicron.
And now that he has been
eliminated,
it is time to take care
of the other obstacle
that stands in my way.
No, you're wrong.
Okay, then explain to me why
Starscream sacrificed himself.
Because he was a fool.
No, because he wanted everyone
to live in peace!
Listen and try to understand
the simple concept
that there can only be
one ruler of the universe.
And unfortunately for you,
Optimus Prime,
it's going to be me.
Are you saying
that taking out Unicron
was just a means to an end?
Yes, now you're
starting to get it.
I suppose you could say
I used you
in order to further
my lofty career ambitions.
But tell me,
is it so wrong
to set higher standards
for one's self? Well, is it?
Yes!
What the--?
Your mindless ambitions
are fueled only by your greed,
and you'll stop at nothing
to get what you want.
I should have let
Unicron destroy you.
Yeah, he's right. We're sick
and tired of all this fighting.
That goes for me too.
I thought
once Unicron was wasted,
things would get back
to normal.
Would you quit
trying to be the boss?
Why can't we all
just get along?
No matter what you say, there is
no good reason to fight.
( chuckling )
This discussion
is all very interesting,
but I believe you fail
to comprehend your argument.
If you remember, didn't
Unicron mention something
about our dilemma?
As long as hatred exists,
I shall remain
impervious to attack.
So if that's the case,
are you telling me that
you are merely suppressing
your hatred of me,
or do you actually like me?
Don't deny
the inevitable, Prime.
You have no other choice.
Admit it, Prime!
I am Optimus Prime,
leader of the Autobots!
Ha. You never change,
do you?
Oh, you can deny your hatred
for me all you want, Optimus,
but in your heart
you know the real truth.
SIDESWIPE:
You're not gonna believe this.
Unicron just moved.
Huh?
So what'd we do now, Hot Shot?
I don't know. I guess we should
wait until we hear from Optimus.
It's the only thing
we can do.
Hot Shot, might I suggest we
have some troops on high alert
just in case?
No, everyone stay put.
The way I see it
is right now
Unicron doesn't seem
to be fully alert.
That gives me a window
of opportunity to go in
and get Optimus
and the kids.
The rest of you stay here
and keep your eye on Unicron.
If you suspect he's starting
to snap out of it,
go into full attack mode
to cover me, understand?
JET FIRE:
You're not going
anywhere, Hot Shot.
Ohh! What'd you
do that for, Jetfire?
JETFIRE:
Optimus and Galvatron put you
in charge of both armies.
That means you're staying put.
This mission calls
for my skills, not yours.
Huh?
Ha, ha, ha!
You didn't think
you were gonna get all
the glory, now did you, Jetfire?
Suit yourself, Cyclonus.
( laughing ):
Don't worry, I will!
You might want
to step aside, humans,
because Optimus and I have
a little, how should I say...
business to take care of.
CARLOS:
Sorry, but we're not
going anywhere.
BILLY:
And besides,
Optimus isn't gonna fight.
Right. He's just going
to stand there
and let me obliterate him.
ALL ( in unison ):
Huh?
OPTIMUS:
Rad, Alexis, Carlos,
Fred, Billy,
the time has come to say
a personal word of thanks
to all of you
for helping the Autobots
in our quest
to save the Minicons.
KIDS: But, Optimus...
OPTIMUS: Galvatron is right.
In order to destroy Unicron,
we first must end hate
in the universe.
And that means I have to finish
what I've started.
High Wire, Grindor,
Sureshock and the others,
I entrust you with the task
of looking after the humans
and ensuring their safety,
understand?
Yes, sir.
But why fight?
Sadly, my friends,
it's the only way
to obtain peace.
Now, you must go and
take the children with you.
No, Optimus, No! Don't let him
suck you into this.
You're not gonna
change your mind?
Well, I guess we're gonna
see you soon, won't we?
Yes, you will.
But now it's time for you
and the others to go.
And one more thing, Rad,
I will always
remember you.
( tender theme playing )
Children,
the future is yours!
GALVATRON:
Good riddance, humans!
HIGH WIRE:
Our Minicon brothers
shall show us the way.
( rumbling )
Well, it looks like
it's just you and me, Prime.
The time for speeches
is over, Galvatron.
Let's end our quarrel
right here and right now.
Don't act surprised. This is
exactly what you wanted.
And I fight you, not as
the leader of the Autobots,
but as the leader
of all Transformers!
What?
Unh! You're not superior
to me, Optimus Prime!
( both grunting )
( Galvatron laughing )
CYCLONUS:
What in the world's
going on back there?
JETFIRE:
It could mean Unicron
is coming back to life.
Aw, give me a break.
We shut him up real good.
He could be
playing possum.
I think we should wait
and see what happens.
How about I wake him up?
Ha, ha, ha!
Forget it, Cyclonus.
If he is still alive,
the two of us don't stand
a chance against him.
Sorry,
I got carried away.
Well, knock it off.
Remember, Optimus, Galvatron
and the kids are still inside,
and we don't want
any accidents.
Huh?
Whoa!
You serious? Optimus and
Galvatron are about to go at it?
Yeah, we just picked up
the kids, and they told us.
This is the big one,
Hot Shot.
Not to mention the fact
Unicron's still alive.
So what do we do,
Hot Shot?
Well, it looks like
we're caught
between a rock
and a hard place, men.
Maybe we should just wait until
Jetfire and the kids return
before we do anything.
You're right, Hoist.
I think we should just
wait it out.
Ugh. I say you call up
all your men
and hit Unicron
hard and fast, Hot Shot.
And we've got
to do it now.
We can't do that, Wheeljack.
Galvatron might get hit.
He's right.
And don't forget about Optimus.
My vote is to wait
until Optimus is back.
I don't think
we have a choice.
Well, while you guys
are deciding,
I've got a payload
to deliver back to base.
You mean we're just gonna
abandon Galvatron?
( thinking ):
I know the men are counting
on me to make a decision,
but if I make the wrong one,
the entire universe
could be at stake.
If I attack Unicron,
that leaves Optimus vulnerable,
and if I allow Unicron
to fully recover,
then he could destroy us all.
Prepare for battle, men!
HOT SHOT:
Remember, Optimus
and Galvatron are still inside!
That means this must be
a surgical strike!
All units, move out!
( dramatic theme playing )
( grunting )
( laughing )
( grunting )
You're all mine!
( both grunting )
( laughing )
And here I thought you were
not going to defend yourself.
Well, I must say
it's good to have you back
to your old self again, Prime.
( Galvatron laughing )
Yes, this reminds me so much
of the good old days.
( grunting )
UNICRON:
Over the eons,
your proclamations of peace
have always seemed pointless.
You must admit you love
the smell of battle.

Huh?

( grunting )
( dramatic theme playing )
Hey, I thought
we finished off Unicron.
Sideways was eliminated.
Unicron lay only
in a state of dormancy.
Uh, mind saying that
in English?
ALEXIS:
Hey, look!
There's some kind of a hole
opening up in Unicron's armor.
Yeah, all right!
Let's go for it.
You think maybe it's some kind
of sign that Optimus is okay?
All right, men, it's time
to shift into stealth mode!
Roger that, Hot Shot!
And we'll set up
for the second wave!
TIDAL WAVE:
Tidal Wave!
( dramatic theme playing )
This can't be
how our fight ends, Prime.
For the eons we've battled,
it's much too anti-climatic.
I demand satisfaction!
I wish I could accommodate you.
Heh, heh.
Get up...
so I can destroy you!
Don't count on it!
( grunting )
Ah, yes, that's more
like it, Prime. Ha, ha.
( both grunting )
Look, it's Optimus!
Yeah, and he's with Galvatron.
CYCLONUS:
Would you quit
your yapping?
We've got to destroy Unicron
before he comes back to life!
TIDAL WAVE:
Destroy Unicron!
Why don't you forget
about Unicron?
His power will be mine.
Oh, and, Prime, we haven't
finished our little quarrel yet!
Hot Shot,
I'll take care of Galvatron!
You lead the men
and attack Unicron
with everything
you've got!
Yeah, no problem.
JETFIRE:
Hot Shot, Unicron's
headed back to Cybertron!
This is it, boys.
Attack!
( Optimus and Galvatron
grunting )
( tense theme playing )
Aah!
( grunts )
Optimus' Matrix!
You're right, but why would he
take it off to fight?
That's too freaky.
But there's gotta be a reason.
Hey, maybe he know something
he's not telling us, guys!
( grunting )
( grunting )
( groans )
( both grunting )
( panting )
( groaning )
Now, that's the old Optimus
I used to know.
GALVATRON:
But the battle is over.
I have nothing left for you.
You defeated me
fair and square.
No, Galvatron, I think we'll
have to call this one a draw.
You have to admit
we really went at it, huh?
And throughout our careers,
we've been
fairly evenly matched.
You know, I've enjoyed every
nanosecond of it, Optimus.
Sorry, but I could never admit
to enjoying the battle.
However, it was a necessary evil
to obtain peace.
Unfortunately,
I may never see that day.
I only wish that
whoever survives us
will remove evil
from the universe.
( laughing )
Well, at least you were right
about one thing, Prime,
and that is you will never
survive beyond today.
And that means I shall become
supreme commander.
Bon voyage, Optimus.
( grunting )
Huh?
( dramatic theme playing )
Attack!
They can't!
Not with Optimus still inside.
Huh.
Hang on, Galvatron!
Why are you doing this?
Never mind.
We've got enough
to worry about. Unh!
Let me go, and Unicron
will be destroyed.
OPTIMUS:
I can't do that.
GALVATRON:
If you let me go, then the w*r
between us will be over.
Unicron will cease to exist,
because there won't be
enough evil in the universe
for him to feed off of.
Now, Optimus! Time has run out.
( Optimus grunting )
Hurry! I said cut me loose!
No!
Farewell, Optimus Prime.
Victory is all yours.
Now go and look after your men.
They need you!
( screaming )
Galvatron!
( dramatic theme playing )
The Transformer Matrix.
I don't deserve to wear it.
( dramatic theme playing )
ALL ( in unison ):
Hey, thanks a lot for the lift,
Hot Shot and Jetfire!
Well, I guess
this is it, huh, kids?
But just remember,
we'll never ever forget you.
Mh-hmm. And you guys can be sure
none of us will ever forget you.
Same here.
And thanks, kids, for all
the things you taught us.
Actually, I think we learned
a lot more from you.
FRED:
Hey, if you're ever
in the Solar System,
drop in and say hi,
all right?
You got it, big guy,
but I've got a feeling
since Cybertron's been rebuilt
and the w*r's ended,
we'll be staying home
for a long time to come.
BILLY:
And it's good to know
the Autobots and Decepticons
are finally getting along.
HOT SHOT:
Well, we gotta get going.
Good-bye and thank you.
You will always be
in the Minicons' memories.
You guys too.
We'll miss you, but we'll
never ever forget you.
This is harder
than I thought.
( sobbing )
Yeah, no kiddin'.
Aw, knock it off, guys.
You're bawling
like little babies.
FRED:
Hey, look who's talking.
So, what about Optimus?
Don't worry about him.
I'm not exactly sure
where he is,
but I do know
he's out there somewhere.
And he's right here,
inside all our hearts.
Hmm.
You're right about that.
RAD:
No matter what happens
or where we go,
Optimus Prime
will always be a part of us.
( dramatic theme playing )
OPTIMUS:
The w*r between the Autobots
and the Decepticons
has come to an end.
And without the hatred
between the two sides,
there was no evil
to feed Unicron,
and he became powerless.
Both Unicron and Megatron
scattered into the far
reaches of the universe.
As for me, my purpose
has been served.
Cybertron is safe,
and Transformers live
in peace with the Minicons.
So the next time
you look out into space
and see a peaceful star
far, far away,
it just might be Cybertron.
