(muffled yelling)
(Shockblast groaning)
- [Snow Cat] Megatron, sir!
- [Demolisher] I
have great news!
- [Snow Cat] Planet Cybertron's
in chaos, it's beautiful!
(Snow Cat laughs)
- Huh?
- [Demolisher] What brain freeze
over here is trying to say
is that the Decepticons that
were imprisoned underground
have revolted!
(Megatron scoffs)
- Big deal.
So they got tired of
waiting to be rescued?
- Huh?
(nervous laughing)
- Those rising up
now are only cowards.
- [Snow Cat] You're right,
sir, it's only since
they heard of Unicron's revival.
It's obvious that
their loyalty lies
with Unicron and not with you.
Oh no!
(thudding)
- Seems Unicron is kind
of hungry, Snow Cat.
Do you want to be his main dish?
- [Snow Cat] No way!
I'll behave, I promise!
- He's not even worthy as bait.
- You're right!
But Starscream, I think
I may have another
candidate in mind.
(wind whistling)
- [Rodimus] This
was Alpha Q's home.
(groaning)
Unicron had been wandering
the galaxy for some time,
devouring all in his way.
It wasn't surprising
that he eventually
came upon Alpha Q's home planet.
His entire race were
helpless against Unicron
and its power and destruction.
So in a final act of resistance,
they annihilated
their own planet
and put Unicron
into a deep sleep.
By the time we arrived,
everything was gone.
We couldn't save
Alpha Q's planet.
However, he had been
spared and he continued
to live within
Unicron's sleeping body,
roaming the galaxy yet again.
Soon Alpha Q made an
incredible discovery.
He found that anything
Unicron devoured
could be brought
back to life again.
Alpha Q learned
that all he needed
was to get enough
energon to Unicron
to bring his home world back.
- And the Terrorcons?
- The Terrorcons, they were
also devoured by Unicron.
Alpha Q found a way to
revive and control them.
And maybe, just maybe,
their world will
be restored one day, too.
- So that's why he's been
collecting all this energon.
It's making a little more sense.
- I want to do whatever
I possibly can.
I know that we can
save their planet
as well as the others, too.
- But I still think
it's too dangerous.
- I feel kinda sorry for 'em.
Try to imagine that the same
thing that happened to Earth,
and you were the only survivor
from the whole planet, Misha,
wouldn't you try
everything humanly possible
to bring it all back?
You wouldn't just give up.
- Very good.
I knew you'd understand.
So did Alpha Q.
That's why you've been
brought here, Kicker.
- I figured.
- [Rodimus] Your special
gift intrigues him.
- [Optimus Prime] Dr. Jones,
he's made the decision
to go after Ironhide on his own.
- That's easy for
you to say, Optimus.
He's not your son.
- [Optimus Prime] I would
never risk a soldier's life.
- Hey, wait, Optimus Prime!
- Honey, please.
Trust your son's decision.
You know you taught him well.
- Yeah, Dad, it's true.
Kicker's never given you
a reason not to trust him.
At least, I don't think so.
- But I'm his father!
- You didn't worry
when he was little.
You were always so preoccupied
with all of your research.
This isn't like you.
Please, would you just
believe in your son?
- Either he's growing
up, or I'm becoming
very cautious in my old age.
- (giggles) Yes,
he's growing up.
(light dramatic music)
- Ooh, here he comes!
- Heads up, Autobots.
- [Alpha Q] We told
you your human friend
was on his way, didn't we?
- Kicker?
- Kicker!
- [Alpha Q] What kind
of a name is that?
- [Alpha Q] He's such
a small creature.
Are you sure he's the one
we've been waiting for?
- [Scorponok Voiceover]
Now we'll see if this human
is as worthy as Alpha Q
has been hoping he is.
- [Prowl] Do you think
Rodimus actually has
a plan for that human
he's taking up to Alpha Q?
- [Landmine] Of
course he does, Prowl.
- [Prowl] Yeah, but he's
not even full grown yet.
- [Landmine] Quit worrying
about Rodimus's plans
and start focusing on your job.
(light dramatic music)
- Kicker, please be--
- Careful.
I know, Misha.
- Good.
- [Kicker] Just stay close
to me no matter what, okay?
- [Misha] I will.
- [Kicker] Well, here we go.
(Misha gasps)
- Is that?
- Yeah, one ugly tin can.
It doesn't get any
better close up.
Hey Ironhide, buddy.
- Uh, Kicker, long
time no see, buddy.
Uh, I think I've gotten in
a little over my head here.
- Don't be silly, Ironhide.
It's not that bad.
Never fear, Kicker is here.
- Really?
- So, this is the guy
causing all the commotion?
- [Alpha Q] He's even
smaller up close.
Goodness, I think
we've made a mistake!
- [Alpha Q] Well,
he's already here,
let's give him a chance.
- [Alpha Q] Tell
us about your gift.
- [Alpha Q] Go on!
- [Alpha Q] He's been putting
us on, he has no gift!
- Whoa, would you
just relax, buddy?
You don't have to pounce on me?
- [Alpha Q] What?
- I'm here to see
Alpha Q, so step aside!
Where is he?
- I am Alpha Q!
- Well, prove it!
Take off those goofy masks.
- How'd he know that?
- What's he talking about?
- [Alpha Q] Well done, human.
So, you do have a
special intuition.
- [Ironhide] Oh yeah,
Kicker has a gift
that no one else does.
He can sense where
energon is hidden.
- [Alpha Q] Hidden energon?
Really?
With that kind of gift,
one surely has the power
to change the future.
- Forget the future!
Release Ironhide!
- [Alpha Q] You
forgot the magic word.
- [Ironhide] I'll
give you a magic word.
- Let's go.
- Watch out!
- [Ironhide] Uh, what?
- [Kicker] I'm not playing
with that four-headed freak.
- Hold on!
- We are not finished yet.
(thudding)
- Well, you're
wasting my time hiding
behind those stupid
masks of yours.
- Please.
- I guess I was expecting
someone pretty great after
hearing Rodimus's story.
I didn't expect a carnival.
- [Alpha Q] Why, you little!
- I'm the one who's
been his hostage.
This is definitely Alpha Q.
- Wrong!
- [Misha] Kicker!
(air whooshing)
- That silly string
doesn't scare me!
Energon Saber!
- Hey!
- Scorponok, stop!
Leave him alone!
- Huh?
- You have to trust me!
- I'm going in to pull you out!
(clanking)
(Kicker grunting)
(chuckles) Still a
little shy, are we?
Oh, come on out.
I promise I won't bite.
(Kicker grunts)
- Kicker!
- Easy!
- Easy nothing!
I'm gonna crack this nut.
Come out, come out,
whoever you are!
(light dramatic music)
- [Optimus Prime] We
should have the data
from the aerial survey shortly.
Ah, there it is.
Looks like the Decepticon
units have headed underground.
- [Hot Shot] Underground?
- [Inferno] I believe the
old underground prison
is still operational.
Maybe we should check
it out, ya know?
- [Optimus Prime] Good
thinking, Inferno.
- (chuckles) I can't believe
those dumb Decepticons
marching right into
their new cage.
(all gasping)
- [Optimus Prime]
Watch out, Hot Shot!
- [Hot Shot] Shockblast
is still held c*ptive
in that prison!
- [Inferno] Shockblast?
You don't mean the Shockblast?
(thudding)
(groaning)
- [Hot Shot] Yep,
I'm talking about
that nasty renegade Decepticon.
(Shockblast grunts)
- [Optimus Prime] Shockblast
was finally captured
and imprisoned
here on Cybertron,
but that was only
after leaving behind
a trail of seriously
damaged Transformers.
(Shockblast groans)
That's who they're after!
- [Inferno] Let's go!
- Okay!
(dramatic music)
- Inferno!
- [Hot Shot] Hot Shot!
- Powerlink!
- Powerlink!
Powerlinked Inferno!
- [Optimus Prime] Let's roll!
- Megatron, your
magnificent plan
is on schedule.
All units have stalled the
prison block on Cybertron.
- See how easy it
is to follow orders?
- [Tidal Wave] Megattron.
- What now?
- [Tidal Wave] We cannot
work with Shockblast.
He's far too vicious, Sir.
- Oh, Tidal Wave, you don't
play well together, is that it?
- [Tidal Wave] Negative.
- Listen, just because
Shockblast has a problem
following orders doesn't
mean you'll get away with it.
Now, I want you all
to make an effort
to welcome our nasty little
friend back to the Decepticons.
(Megatron laughs)
(Ironhide hums)
(Kicker grunts)
- Kicker!
(Kicker groans)
- It's gonna take a
little more action
than that to stop me, Q.
I'm gonna put an end
to this masquerade.
(Kicker grunts)
Take off your mask!
- That's enough, human!
One more swing and
you'll have to take
up your fight with me.
- Scorponok!
(Scorponok roars)
- Hey, take it easy.
This is between me and Alpha Q,
it has nothing to do with
you so just stay out of it.
- [Ironhide] But Kicker, you
can't do this on your own.
(Kicker groans)
- I didn't come all this
way for nothing, you know,
and I don't plan on leaving.
At least not without the truth.
- That human is so stubborn.
- I wanna see the
coward that's hidden
deep inside that shell.
I wanna see the traitor
that's too afraid
to show himself.
(muffled talking)
- [Scorponok] Huh?
- There.
- [Alpha Q] I am the voice of
all those lost on Planet Q.
You don't understand,
but I'll show you.
I'll show you all that I lost.
I'll show you everything.
- Kicker!
- [Rodimus] Leave him.
(dramatic music)
(tense music)
(growling)
(wind whistling)
(g*ns blasting)
(Transformers grunting)
(groaning)
- It's Unicron.
- [Scorponok] Come on, men!
Keep firing and keep fighting.
This battle's not over till
the last soldier's down.
- [Kicker] Scorponok!
You were on Planet Q?
So, this is how Alpha
Q remembers that day.
- [Alpha Q] We're
being eaten alive!
This is demented.
What happened to the armies?
Where are the armies?
- [Alpha Q] Rodimus is MIA.
- [Alpha Q] He split
us up, what a liar!
He promised that he'd
help us save our planet!
(crying)
(thudding)
- Alpha Q!
Bad news.
All the armies
have been wiped out
and the planet's fading fast.
We have to detonate what we can.
- [Alpha Q] Blow
up our home planet?
No!
- It's our only chance!
- [Alpha Q] Scorponok, no!
Don't do it!
- He's scared.
(Alpha Q screams)
(Kicker screams)
(Kicker groans)
- [Alpha Q] We fought
a courageous battle,
but in the end, we
sacrificed our planet.
But it was too late for us.
The expl*si*n occurred
after we'd already
been consumed by Unicron.
- [Kicker] Crazy.
- [Alpha Q] Since that
day, we've been living
alone inside Unicron.
You could never
understand the emptiness,
the loneliness
floating through space
inside the one who
took away your world.
Then I discovered there
was a way to free life
that had been swallowed
up by Unicron.
I have found hope.
- [Kicker] You
discovered the energon.
You found its secret!
- [Alpha Q] But
we never expected
the immense power of Megatron.
- [Kicker] Megatron?
What does he have
to do with this?
- [Alpha Q] He awoke
from his slumber
and messed up my plans.
(dramatic music)
(sizzling)
(Megatron groans)
(Scorponok groans)
(Alpha Q groans)
- Hey, nice story, but
what's it got to do with me?
- [Alpha Q] What?
- I'm assuming you
brought me here
to help you get
your planet back.
But are you willing to
do what has to be done
or are you gonna let
Megatron stand in your way?
(Alpha Q groans)
After all I've been
through, you'd give up now?
(Alpha Q groans)
What are you so afraid of?
Are you afraid of Megatron?
Are you afraid of getting hurt?
- [Alpha Q] Of
course I'm afraid!
- We're all afraid sometimes,
but you won't get anywhere
just hiding and being afraid.
Isn't that right, Ironhide?
You could learn a
lesson from this guy.
- [Ironhide] Uh, me?
- You've gotta go for it.
If you don't, you'll never
know what you're capable of.
Megatron won't give you a
chance to come to your senses,
he'll just stomp all over you
like you're not even there.
(Alpha Q groans)
No one's gonna give
you your world back,
it's up to you to
go and take it.
That's what Megatron preaches,
so use his own
tactics against him.
Unless you want the Decepticons
to be your new leaders.
- [Alpha Q] No!
- [Kicker] Then fight back!
You've got to!
(Scorponok groans)
(Rodimus hums)
- He's nuts.
(chain rattling)
(Shockblast grunting)
(dramatic music)
- [Guard] Shockblast!
I've come under
orders of Megatron
to let you out and
escort you back to him.
- [Shockblast] There won't
be any need for that.
(blasting)
- Huh?
(thudding)
(dramatic music)
- [Guard] Hold it right there!
- [Guard] I need backup, quick!
- [Shockblast] All right!
- [Guard] You will
be severely punished
if you try and escape.
Just give it up!
(guard groaning)
I will fire, final warning!
(blasting)
(thudding)
(booming)
(dramatic music)
- [Optimus Prime]
We're too late.
- Shockblast is gone!
- [Optimus Prime] Rad, come in.
We're going after Shockblast.
I want you to monitor
Megatron's movement
and radio back with
anything peculiar, over.
(dramatic music)
- This meeting's over.
I'm done messing around here.
- Hang on.
- [Kicker] Come on,
guys, it's time to bolt.
- [Ironhide] But--
- Optimus and the
rest of the Autobots
are fighting hard out there.
They're the ones
that need our help.
So is the ship ready, Rodimus?
- All right, then,
you can leave.
- I figured this would
be a waste of time.
None of my plans ever work out.
- Don't worry about it.
- Huh?
- At least we got
to see the inside
of the galaxy's biggest bad guy.
There's not many people that
can say they've done that.
- Come on, Kicker, this
isn't a joke, you know?
- Well, we tried our best,
but poor guy's in a
pretty tight spot.
I couldn't imagine what I'd
do if the Earth was devoured.
- [Scorponok] Are
you sure you want
to let the human go?
- Alpha Q?
- [Alpha Q] Kicker.
(rumbling)
- For crying out loud!
- Aw, you gotta be kidding me!
- What now?
(light dramatic music)
- [Ironhide] Uh, this rocking's
gonna dislodge the ship.
- Unicron is coming to life.
- What have you done?
