(light music)
- [Optimus] Kicker, is
everyone ready on Rock Planet?
- - , Optimus.
- [Optimus] Rodimus, what about
your boys on Blizzard Planet?
- [Rodimus] We're
standing by, Optimus.
- [Optimus] Ocean Planet.
- Just give us
the word, big guy!
- [Optimus] The warp
gate will open shortly.
Hot Shot and his team will
be lowering the first tower.
I want everyone to keep focused
until everything is completely
fixed into position.
Then the Omnicons will
end their first, got that?
- [All] Yes sir!
- Soon, the towers
will be placed
upon the three new planets.
- Then they'll be able to
set up the Energon grid,
making our planet
safe from harm.
- And safe from Megatron.
He won't be able to
attack so easily.
(both laughing)
- You did it, Kicker!
- Yes, we're so proud
of you, young man.
(engine whirring)
- [Kicker] There it is,
guys, the first tower.
- But we can't
let our guard down
until it's up and
running, Kicker.
(breathing heavily)
(whooshing)
- Speak of the devil, look
who's crashin' the party.
- Fire!
(weapons firing)
(tense music)
Keep on them, men!
(weapons sh**ting)
- Inferno.
- Megatron?
- I was hoping you would've
changed your mind by now.
- I am an Autobot,
and I'll never, ever
be a Decepticon!
(w*apon sh**ting)
- You're a fool.
Men, attack the Energon towers
before they can set them up.
- Ah, you got it!
(melodically screaming)
(laser sh*ts exploding in ocean)
(electric zapping)
(weapons firing)
(waves crashing)
(weapons firing)
(bombs exploding)
(laughing manically)
- [Megatron] Mirage, dive.
Mirage, marine attack.
- Hey, Jetfire, where in the
dickens did Mirage get to?
- Are you serious?
How could something that
size just disappear?
(weapons firing)
- Oh man, what's taking so long?
We've gotta get that
grid up and running.
(grid pulsing)
(weapons firing)
(grunting)
(engine zooming)
- Oh no, it looks like
the grid's operational.
So now what, sir?
- Curses.
- That was too
close for comfort.
(screaming)
- Men, time to take this
battle to Ocean Planet.
- Yes sir.
(weapons firing)
(ominous music)
- Transform!
(mechanical whirring)
(gentle crashing)
Mirage, attack!
Let's see if we can't make
this tower spring a leak.
(weapons sh**ting)
(crashing)
(machinery crashing)
(waves crashing)
(tower exploding)
Mirage, retreat!
Mirage, mission complete.
(engine zooming)
- Blast it all, Mirage sent
charges below the surface.
- We're too late
to save the tower.
Let's head for Ocean Planet.
(tense music)
- We needed that tower to
set up the Energon grid.
Now we can't defend these
planets at full capacity.
- Yeah, and that
planet had the best
early warning
detection system, too.
- Optimus, sir, we've got
only one Energon tower left
that can be mobilized
from Planet Cybertron.
- That's right, we need
a good defense, men.
- Don't worry, Optimus,
I'll look after that one.
(laughing)
- There's an old saying,
Optimus, don't watch your back
so closely that you can't
see what's in front of ya.
- I catch your drift,
Bulkhead, and that's why
I'm setting up a plan
to distract our enemy.
- (laughing) I don't
know how you do it,
but you always
seem to impress me.
- So, what's the plan?
- I know, let me
distract Megatron.
- But Inferno.
(ominous whirring)
- So, do you think Inferno
can handle the job, Optimus?
- Good question.
All I know is Inferno
is one of the most
dedicated soldiers
under my command.
- That doesn't
answer my question.
- Well just in case,
I'll send a team to
keep an eye on him.
- Hm, are you serious?
If you believe he's
such a good warrior,
then why do you
want to babysit him?
- Because I believe in always
having a good backup plan.
(tense music)
(Inferno screaming)
(grunting and heavy breathing)
(robotic beeping)
- I am not a Decepticon,
I am an Autobot!
- Kicker, is Inferno
acting or is he in trouble?
- A little bit of both.
This all started when
Megatron branded him.
Inferno's trying with
everything he's got
not to turn into a Decepticon.
- What?
- Shh.
- Huh?
- Would you keep it down?
We're only here to help if
Inferno really needs us.
- Oh, right.
- We need to stop Megatron
from stealing all the Energon.
If we don't, these new
planets will all be toast.
This is Optimus' plan.
Inferno's out there
tryin' to be a decoy
to draw the Decepticons in.
- Kicker, I've got a question.
- Yeah, what?
- Can an Autobot
become a Decepticon
for only a little while?
- Sure.
- And the effect wouldn't
be permanent or anything?
- Let's just hope not.
(intense music)
(Inferno screaming)
- Megatron!
I know you can hear me, now
show yourself, Megatron.
(robotic beeping)
Show yourself!
- What?
- What is it, Megatron?
- I believe my latest recruit
has just joined our ranks.
- Huh?
- Inferno is calling,
which means only one thing.
He now wears the
mark of a Decepticon.
(Inferno screaming)
(upbeat music)
(w*apon firing)
(rocks exploding)
- Hey Kicker, are you
sure he's all right?
- He's really gettin' into it,
but I'm bettin' he's alright.
- It's to fool Megatron.
- Are you sure?
(rock exploding)
Ah, that's smart.
- Okay guys, I think
we'd better take cover.
- No kidding.
- Let's move out.
(rocks exploding)
(Inferno screaming)
- I really hope you're right
about this being temporary.
- [Kicker] Yeah, me too.
- [Ironhide] Are you
really, really sure?
- It's an act to get the
Decepticons to show up.
(Inferno screaming)
(w*apon firing)
- So how come he's
using live a*mo?
(Inferno yelling)
- He's got a point, there.
(w*apon firing)
- It's just an act,
I tell ya', an act,
and he's doin' a
really good job at it.
(Inferno screaming)
(Inferno screaming)
(weapons firing)
- Where are you, Megatron?
- Come on, Kicker, this whole
Inferno acting as a
Decepticon is going too far.
- [Kicker] Relax, Ironhide.
(Inferno grunting)
(w*apon firing)
(rocks exploding)
(Megatron laughing)
- Ah, I do so love
the smell of battle,
and by the sounds of it,
my newest little soldier
is now truly a Decepticon.
Let's go greet him.
(Inferno grunting)
(w*apon firing)
(tense music)
- Autobots, where
are you hiding?
Show yourselves!
- [Megatron] Inferno.
- Look, there they are.
It's Megatron and his
Decepti-scum lackeys.
I've gotta get ahold of Optimus.
- Transform!
(fast paced music)
(engine zooming)
- (laughing) I've been
expecting your call, Inferno,
and on behalf of the entire
Decepticon organization,
I would like to
welcome you aboard
as a full fledged warrior.
(Inferno growling)
(Inferno screaming)
(w*apon firing)
(Megatron laughing manically)
- Megatron, sir.
- Relax, Starscream.
(Inferno grunting)
(Inferno screaming)
(w*apon firing)
(rocks exploding)
- Inferno.
- [Rodimus] Kicker, Kicker!
We're too close to the
Decepticons, we need to jet.
- You're right.
Ironhide, do you read me?
- Loud and clear.
- Signal Optimus.
- Right.
(w*apon firing)
(flare exploding)
- Huh?
- What's he doing?
- Looks like we're not alone.
- [Wing Saber] There's
the flare, Optimus.
- All right men, lower the tower
and let's get into position.
Wing Saber.
- Sir!
(high energy music)
- Optimus Prime.
- Wing Saber.
- [Both] Power link.
(upbeat robotic music)
- Power link complete.
- [Woman] Opening the warp gate.
(engines zooming)
(warp gate zapping)
(tense music)
- [Megatron] Very
clever, Inferno.
I must say, I bought into
your little plan of deceit.
- But the joke's on you, friend.
Once one becomes a Decepticon,
there is no turning back.
(laughing manically)
- Alright, Starscream, you'll
be in charge down here.
I'm off to Ocean Planet.
- Yes, sir.
- Snow Cat, Mirage, Shockblast,
you're coming with me.
(engines zooming)
- Megatron's headed
to Ocean Planet.
(tower whirring)
(water splashing)
- And you're coming
with us, Inferno.
- You're a Decepticon now.
- Yeah, a Decepticon.
- Signal Flare, fire an
Energon star into him.
- Fire a star into Inferno?
- [Kicker] Yeah!
- You got it!
(grunting)
(star firing)
(energy beam exploding)
(Inferno screaming)
- What do you think
you're doing, Kicker?
- Trust me, the Energon star
should get him back to normal.
(electric zapping)
At least I thought
it would work.
Oh no, maybe he really
is a Decepticon.
(melodic screaming)
- Let's bring that
tower down, men.
Mirage, attack!
Transform!
- Attack!
- (melodically screaming)
Mind if I join in?
Ha, transform!
- Mirage, attack!
(somber music)
- You're all mine, old man.
- Oh, you think so,
eh, whippersnapper?
(both grunting and yelling)
- Why, you old toot!
- Old toot?
Why, I've destroyed
a hundred of you
smart mouth space
jockeys in my time.
- Well, Optimus, it
seems your little
diversion tactic backfired.
Oh, and you've also
lost Inferno to my side.
- What?
- Oh, don't play
coy with me, Prime.
Inferno is now under my command,
and he can never revert
back to your side.
And what's even worse for
you is you're too late
setting up an Energon tower.
So it looks like this planet
is mine for the plundering.
- I don't think so, Megatron.
I always come with a backup
plan, so don't make a move.
- Sorry, Optimus, but I'm busy.
- And you're about
to get a lot busier.
(both yelling)
- Oh, they just keep coming.
(engines zooming)
- Blast them with
the Energon lasers.
(engines zooming and zapping)
(lasers blasting)
Cliffjumper, time to link up.
- Right.
- Hot Shot.
(energetic music)
- Cliffjumper.
- [Both] Power link.
- Power link, Hot Shot.
(weapons firing)
(screaming)
(gurgling)
- This is too easy.
- Mirage loves his job.
(energetic music)
(machinery hitting floor)
Must blast tower, take it down!
(weapons blasting)
What?
- You didn't think we'd let
you destroy it without a fight.
(gurgling)
- Oh, like you're gonna stop us?
(expl*si*n booming)
- What's happening?
- What's going on?
(tower sliding)
- Get off my back,
you old geezer.
You annoy me.
- (laughing) Just
doin' my job, sonny.
(both grunting)
- [Woman] The tower is
back up and running.
Preparing to engage
Energon grid.
- No, it can't be.
(Energon grid surging)
Retreat, retreat!
- Not this time, Megatron!
- Oh, right, and who's
going to stop me?
We'll finish this
another day, Prime.
- Back in my time, soldiers
had to be whipped into shape.
Nowadays, they're
all soft like you.
- Love to stay and chat,
gramps, but I gotta fly.
(Energon grid surging)
- That's it, the Energon
grid is up and runnin'.
- Good job, guys.
Inferno!
- [Ironhide] You've gotta
do something, Kicker!
(Inferno screaming)
(electricity zapping)
(mechanical beeping)
- Inferno!
- Stay back, Autobot!
(screaming)
(weapons firing)
- Inferno!
(bombs exploding)
- We're losing him, Kicker!
- (laughing) Excellent,
the change is complete
and irreversible.
Come, Inferno!
(Inferno screaming)
(engine zooming)
(intense whooshing)
- Inferno, what's wrong?
- I'll never be a Decepticon!
- Inferno.
- Never, never!
- Have you lost it?
- Starscream, Inferno, look out!
- I can't tell who's winning.
Inferno?
- I need more Energon!
Get Signal Flare and
give me more Energon!
(tense music)
- Oh no, they're
heading straight for
the center of Unicron,
and if they get pulled into its
atmosphere, they're history.
We've gotta help Inferno.
- Right!
(engines zooming)
- I can feel the Energon
getting stronger, stronger.
- No, you are a Decepticon.
- Starscream, you've
gotta turn back.
- Oh no, we're
getting pulled in.
- I need the Energon.
I must fight becoming
a Decepticon.
- The Energon is burning me up.
(screaming)
- Starscream, we're too
close, it's too strong.
Help me!
(Inferno screaming)
- Inferno!
(engines zooming)
- Now.
- Scorponock!
(electric zapping)
- No, it's over, Inferno!
(weapons firing)
(exploding)
- He saved me!
- He saved you?
(grunting) Autobot.
- Scorponock?
Is that Scorponock?
- Have you returned?
- Returned to us?
- Have you returned to us?
- [All] Scorponock?
- That voice.
No!
(engine zooming)
(electric zapping)
- I'm not a Decepticon.
I am an Autobot!
(fire exploding and crackling)
- No, Inferno, you've
gotta turn around!
- It's too late, Kicker.
The Energon's way too strong.
- He's too weak to fight it.
- Don't worry, Kicker.
I'll be back, better than ever.
- A hero to the end,
pathetic Autobot.
(somber music)
- This is not the end.
I fought off the
Decepticon evil.
(high pitched whooshing)
(mechanical zapping)
I knew I could.
- Come back, Inferno!
- I'll be back,
an Autobot once again.
(fire exploding)
(laser beam exploding)
(Kicker yelling)
- [Jetfire] Well,
at least I was able
to retrieve his spark, Optimus.
- [Optimus] Thank you, Jetfire.
- Inferno faced the
biggest challenge
an Autobot can imagine.
He almost became a Decepticon,
but he fought the evil and won.
Heroic to the end, even
saving his sworn enemy.
It won't be the same now,
but I'm proud of what he did.
