- Hi, Kicker, greetings
from Cybertron.
We thought we'd send you a
little message and say hi.
We just arrived here
on the Miranda Two.
The Energon grid has
been working perfectly,
so now we've got a strong
defense network in place
and I'm so very pleased.
Not long ago, it was
just a crazy dream,
but thanks to the Autobots,
that dream came true!
Kicker, I'm so proud of you!
I'm so proud of my whole family,
these have been
really trying times,
and you've contributed
so much, good job, son,
and thank you.
Sorry I get all choked up.
- Yes, dear, we know
how proud you are,
especially of kicker.
- I don't miss you at all, bro,
you can stay away
as long as you want.
- Just remember to eat properly
and take your vitamins, honey.
- And say hello to
Misha for me, okay?
- And please, don't stop
looking for Energon,
we need a constant supply
to maintain the grid.
(frustrated growling)
- Why'd you turn it off, Kicker?
What's wrong?
Don't you wanna see the
rest of the message?
- Not really.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
enough mushy stuff already.
Hey, quit fooling around,
Misha, I'm serious!
(shocked screaming)
Sally!
- Hey there, big brother.
- What's up?
What are you doing here?
- Just never you mind, Kicker,
I have business of
my own to attend to.
- Who brought you?
- Sorry, Kicker.
I guess you're not the only
one with special missions.
- Huh?
What are you talking
about, anyway?
Oh, well, you're here now,
so make yourself at home.
But if you wanna stay,
you've gotta work
because we're still on
the lookout for Energon
and the Decepticons, too.
- Don't sweat it, bro,
I may be your little
sister and I know
you don't believe it,
but I do know how to
take care of myself.
- Yeah, but things
could get dangerous,
and I don't want
you to get hurt.
- Everybody's gotta stay alert,
the Decepticons have
been destroying planets,
so they mean business.
They'll do anything
to get the Energon.
Anything at all.
- They'll even
destroy planets, man.
- Kicker, lighten up,
it's not all bad news.
We've got this
planet taken care of,
there's a new Energon grid
being put in place right now.
- Yeah?
How come nobody
told me about that?
- Well, maybe you should come
to the morning role call.
- This is the drop
site, bombs away!
(intense exciting music)
- Now I'm gonna get me
some of that sweet Energon!
What's going on?
Is it an earthquake?
- [Decepticon] It's Megatron,
he's on the throne again.
- [Transformer] What
has he been eating?
- [Decepticon] It's the
Energon, he's crazy for it.
He sits around in the dark
because he doesn't want
to waste any of it.
- [Robot] Megatron, we're
feeding Unicron with Energon
as you requested.
- But we'll need a
lot more to complete
the project, sir.
- Just finish it.
I'm tired of all
this waiting around.
If it weren't for
those cursed Autobots.
- Why blame the Autobots
when you're the one to blame?
- [Megatron] I heard that!
(metallic crashing)
- What did you do that for?
- Shockblast.
- Yes?
- Fight me.
- But why, Megatron?
- Because you think you're
a better leader than me.
Come on, prove it.
- I've got the
size and the power,
but I still feel like
something's missing.
Optimus, Hotshot, and
all the other Autobots
seem to know how to
handle themselves,
but I still feel like a rookie.
I just need a chance
to prove myself.
Darn, what do they know that
I haven't figured out yet?
- Ironhide.
- Hotshot?
- Have you got a few
minutes to spare?
Come on, I wanna
show you something.
We'll be back in a little while!
- I wonder where they're going.
Hey, I could use some R and R,
why don't we follow 'em?
- That's a great idea,
let's do it, Jetfire.
After all,
we can't let them have
all the fun, now, can we?
- All work and no play makes me
one bored Autobot!
Transform!
- Kicker?
- See you, Misha,
hold down the fort
until we get back!
- Why do I have to stay?
I like fun, too!
With everyone gone,
it sure is quiet here.
- Here's why.
- What's that?
Did you find a new planet, RC?
- Well, not exactly
new, everyone else
seems to know about it.
- But why is
everyone going there?
- I guess you could call it
their own personal playground.
(laughing)
Boys will be boys.
- [Both] Transform!
- Whoa, what is this place?
- Oh, you'll see.
It's a great place to practice
your driving skills, bud.
- Driving?
- Yeah, come on, I'll show ya.
- Hotshot, why do I have
to practice my driving?
Hey, did Kicker
say I was a lousy
driver or something, Hotshot?
Are we almost there yet?
- The starting line
is just up ahead.
- Starting line?
- Here we are, Ironhide.
So, what do you think?
- Huh, what is this?
- Hey, everybody,
we're getting really
close to the start
of the very first
Autobot Grand Prix.
Now, I know all of you
have been wondering
who's got the fastest
wheels in the universe.
Well, today, we're
gonna find out.
My name is Sally, and I'm
joined in the announcing booth
by Mr. Personality
himself, Skyblast!
- Thanks, Sally, it's
great to be here.
- Oh, and by the way,
this event is being
broadcasted live
all across the universe.
This sure is exciting,
isn't it, Skyblast?
- You betcha!
- [Sally] Who do
you think will win?
- [Skyblast] That's a tough one.
- Hotshot, why
didn't you tell me
you were gonna
enter me in a race?
The competition looks tough,
I don't know if I'm ready.
- Relax, you'll be fine.
You're as good of a driver
as any of these guys.
If you do the best you can,
I'm sure you're gonna make
it to the winner's circle.
- [Ironhide] Okay,
if you say so.
- [Transformers] Transform!
- [Prowl] Well,
well, look who it is.
Ironhide, shouldn't
you be up in the stands
where you belong?
- [Downshift] Yeah, this race
isn't for rookies like you.
- Give it up,
there's no chance
you're gonna beat
a high performance
machine like me.
- I'm warning you guys,
there's a lot more to this
kid than meets the eye, right?
- Huh, what?
- Transform, once
this race starts,
it's every bot for himself,
so I hope you can handle it.
- I can?
Oh, man, this is my one chance
to show everybody what
I'm really capable of.
- Hey, Ironhide, the
starting line is here.
We go once around the
planet, first one back wins.
- [Sally] All competitors,
get into vehicle mode
and proceed to
the starting line.
The race is about to begin.
- Okay, you're on your own.
From now on, no
more Mr. Nice Guy.
- [Sally] Autobots,
start your Sky blast!
(engines revving)
(crowd cheering)
(machines roaring)
- Racers, get ready,
I'll start the countdown.
Three, two, one, go!
They've cleared
the starting line.
Hotshot is out in front,
followed by Prowl,
Cliffjumper, and Downshift.
Bringing up the
rear is Ironhide.
He's really gonna
have to put the pedal
to the metal if he wants
to stay in this race.
- [Ironhide] Rats,
I'm way behind,
I've gotta catch up
with the rest of 'em.
- Aw man, the fun's
already started.
- [Kicker] A road race!
Let's get down there, I
don't wanna miss this.
Hey, where's Ironhide?
- [Jetfire] There he
is, right down there.
- [Kicker] Wow, he's
way out in the lead.
- [Jetfire] No,
he's in last place.
- In last place?
- Oh, Optimus.
- What is it, Rodimus?
What are you so interested in?
- Well, the bots have
been working really hard
on the Energon
grid, and it's done,
so well, they're racing.
- Racing, whose idea was that?
Who authorized this?
- I did.
- Well, I guess it's all right.
But keep an eye out
for the Decepticons,
we don't wanna get caught
with our guard down.
- Of course.
- [Sally] They're really
tearing it up out there.
The lead racers have just
passed the first checkpoint,
but they better keep
it under control,
because there are some
dangerous curves up ahead.
And Ironhide's on the move!
- Yeah, eat my dust!
This is it, I'm going for it,
nobody's gonna beat me!
Oh, crud!
- [Sally] Oh, no, Ironhide's
crashed into the wall!
- [Jetfire] He's got
guts but no brains.
- [Kicker] I'm going down there.
- [Jetfire] No, wait, Kicker!
- My auto link,
it's out of whack!
- Ironhide.
- Oh, hey, Kicker!
- I think you need a few
more driving lessons.
- [Ironhide] So
what are you doing?
Hey, I can repair this myself!
- Come on, we're a team,
now put it in gear
and I'll steer.
- [Ironhide] Well, yeah, but--
- Move it, or we won't
be able to catch Hotshot!
- [Ironhide] Oh, all right.
- [Jetfire] Nice work, Kicker,
he's back in the race.
- Hey, Jetfire,
why don't we make
this race a little
more interesting?
- [Jetfire] Let's do it!
- [Bulkhead] This
is gonna be fun!
- [Kicker] Hit the brakes
when we go into this corner.
- [Ironhide] The brakes?
- [Kicker] Just do it, then
floor it on the other side.
Okay, here we go!
- Things are really heating up!
It's no surprise that
Hotshot's leading the pack.
But don't count those
rookies out yet.
Boy, those bots are
really battling it out.
As the old saying goes, it
ain't over until it's over,
and there's still
a lot more racing.
But it's great so
far, right, Skyblast?
- Oh, for sure.
Oh, no, a wipeout!
(metal crashing)
(groaning)
There's trouble on the tracks.
Downshift and Prowl have
just had a major crash.
- [Hotshot] I wonder
where Ironhide is.
I hope he was able
to steer clear
of that accident back there.
- [Ironhide] We're still
way behind the others.
- This isn't over yet,
we still have a chance,
just stay focused.
- You okay?
- Oh, yeah, I'm fine,
I'm just a little banged up.
- Well, if he says
he's all right,
then I'm gonna get
back in the race.
- What?
This is all your
fault, you know!
- No way, racing is
a risky business.
Transform, see you losers!
- Just leave me here.
- Okay, but you take
care of yourself.
Transform!
I'm gonna get you, Downshift,
come back here, you cheater!
- [Kicker] Looks like
there was a pileup.
Now's our chance
to make our move.
- [Ironhide] Okay,
what should we do?
- [Kicker] Look at Prowl,
see how he's sticking
close behind Downshift?
He's avoiding the wind
resistance by staying
in the draft.
- [Ironhide] Oh, I get it.
- Hey, it's all downhill now.
Come on, let's get past Prowl.
- [Prowl] Ironhide,
where'd you come from?
- [Kicker] Do it, Ironhide.
- [Ironhide] Okay!
- [Prowl] What are you doing?
Ah!
- [Kicker] Sorry, but
you snooze, you lose.
- Transform!
Creeps, I'm gonna get you guys!
- [Bulkhead] Time
to heat things up.
Here we go, transform.
Let her rip!
- [Hotshot] Incoming!
- [Transformer] Oh, great!
(mischievous laughing)
- That oughta sort 'em out.
- [Transformer] We're stuck!
We can't drive over that.
- I can make it.
- What?
- I'll show you,
watch, transform!
It's time for a little
off-roading, see ya!
- [Hotshot] Wait, come back!
- [Ironhide] Hey, Kicker!
- [Kicker] What?
- [Ironhide] This
race is all ours now.
- [Kicker] Concentrate
on the road, Ironhide.
Haven't you figured
out what Hotshot
is trying to teach
you through this race?
- Uh, what's that?
- [Kicker] He wants you
to use your power wisely.
Think about what you're
doing before you act.
- [Ironhide] What do you mean?
- [Kicker] Well, like
using your brakes.
Be aware of the course
and what the other
racers are doing.
That's the only way
you're gonna win this.
- You're right.
- [Downshift] What
happened to the road?
(metal clanking)
- Okay, now's our
chance, let's get him!
Go for it, Ironhide.
- [Ironhide] Okay, hang on!
- [Sally] Coming up to the
last stage of the race.
Cliffjumper is in the lead,
followed by Hotshot,
then Landmine.
What's this?
Is that Ironhide?
It is, and he's
coming on strong!
- [Kicker] Make your move,
Ironhide, get past Landmine.
Do it now!
- [Ironhide] Uh, why is
everyone slowing down?
- [Kicker] It's hard
to see in the tunnel,
so naturally,
everyone gears down.
But this is where your
big lights come in handy.
- [Ironhide] Hotshot!
- [Hotshot] Ironhide,
you're still in the race?
- [Ironhide] Yup, and
thanks to you and Kicker,
I figured out how
I'm gonna win this!
- [Hotshot] Oh yeah?
We'll see about that.
- [Ironhide] Oh,
no, what is that?
- [Kicker] Don't sweat it,
figure it out, you
can handle this.
- [Ironhide] Okay,
I'm going for it!
- [Hotshot] Good job,
you would've been
a goner if you hesitated.
- [Ironhide] Oh, I know.
- [Hotshot] The finish line is
just up ahead, see you there.
- [Ironhide] You're on!
- [Transformer] Man, I
wanna go off roading,
but not this far off road.
Oh, man.
- [Jetfire] What's
taking him so long?
Oh, here they come.
All g*n ports, open!
Fire!
- [Hotshot] Ironhide,
there's some more
obstacles headed this way!
- [Ironhide] Obstacles?
Why are they firing at us?
Oh, no, woah!
- Second wave, launch!
- Isn't the race over yet?
- Well, almost, but I
thought a little m*ssile fire
would make it more entertaining.
- [Optimus] Well, I hope
you're using blanks.
- [Jetfire] Oh, I am, sir.
- [Optimus] Good, then
I think I'll join in.
- [Jetfire] What?
- [Optimus] Let's
Powerlink, Wing Saber.
- [Wing Saber] Yes, sir.
- Optimus Prime!
- Wing Saber!
- [Both] Powerlink!
(exciting electronic music)
- Powerlink up link!
Try this on for size.
- Go get 'em, sir?
- [Hotshot] Hey, Ironhide,
there's the finish line.
Now it's time to win this baby.
- [Ironhide] Hope you
won't take it too personal
when I smoke ya and
take the checkered flag.
- [Hotshot] Yeah?
In your dreams, buddy.
- [Sally] The first
ones back to the stadium
are Hotshot and Ironhide!
And here they come now.
(crowd cheering)
- [Ironhide] I made it this
far, so I have to win this!
- [Hotshot] Optimus?
- [Optimus] Your
last obstacle is me!
- [Hotshot] Oh, no, not again!
Transform!
Nice shot.
- What happened?
It's like I've
been hit by a semi.
- Kicker, get out!
I can handle it from here, bud.
- Go for it!
- Transform!
(grunting determinedly)
(metal shattering)
- [Hotshot] Ironhide!
- You'll have to do a
lot better than that.
- It's time for you to focus.
Don't think of Optimus as
your commander anymore.
Right now, he's the enemy.
Use all your power to bring
him down any way you can.
- [Ironhide] I'll do it!
- [Optimus] I'm warning you,
Ironhide, I won't hold back.
- I gotta concentrate
and try to figure out his every
move and use all my power.
I know, I can use his
own weight against him!
I can do this!
- Yeah, you got him, Ironhide!
- Hotshot, go for
the finish line!
- [Hotshot] What?
- [Kicker] What are you saying/
- You deserve to win
this race, buddy!
You deserve it more than me.
Now get going, okay?
- You sure?
- Do it!
- Okay, I will.
Transform!
- [Optimus] You're
letting him win the race?
Are you giving up?
- I'll beat you, I know I can.
- You've already won, Ironhide.
- Huh?
- You've learned a
valuable lesson today.
No matter what, your
loyalty to your teammates
will always pay off.
- Yeah, I knew I
did the right thing!
- But don't let your guard down!
- [Kicker] Ironhide!
- [Hotshot] Oh, no.
- [Sally] Something's
happening down on the track!
Hotshot was headed
for an easy victory,
but he suddenly stopped.
It looks like Ironhide
is out for good, and RC
and a masked rider have
come out of nowhere.
They're crossing
the finish line,
and they're gonna win,
yes, they've done it!
What an amazing turn of events.
The Autobot Grand Prix
has its first champion!
Now let's find out who this
mysterious masked
rider really is!
(victorious music)
It's Misha!
Misha and RC are the winners!
- We sure showed 'em, didn't we?
- [RC] We sure did.
- [Optimus] So, Misha
and RC won the race.
- [Hotshot] How about that?
- Who won?
This race is all ours?
- Well, it would've been
if you weren't so determined
to show off for everybody.
- Show off?
(friendly laughing)
- [Sally] Okay,
folks, let's all have
another big round of applause
as we present our winners
with the championship trophy.
(joyous laughing)
- Why are we laughing?
Because the Autobots are.
Feels good, I like it!
And all is well.
It must be.
[Alpha Q] Our planet is safe,
perhaps we don't have
to worry anymore.
How wonderful.
(laughing)
- [Kicker] Hotshot, get
Sally home safely, okay?
- Of course I will.
Because I know if I don't,
you're gonna kick me,
and I've already got
enough dents on me
left over from the race.
- It's been fun hanging
around with you, big brother,
let's do it again sometime.
Don't be a stranger, huh?
- I won't, but I
want you to tell
mom and dad not to
worry so much about me.
- Okay, we'll let
your girlfriend
do all the worrying for us.
- Kicker, what does that mean?
Girlfriend?
- [Kicker] Nothing,
nothing at all!
- [Sally] Catch you later, bro.
- [Hotshot] Transform!
(grunting)
(screaming)
- Do you still want to
challenge me, Shockblast?
- Shockblast can't
take much more of this,
and we do need him to
complete the project.
- Hm, that's too bad,
I was just starting
to get warmed up.
Very well, we'll
continue this tomorrow.
- Maybe if I could
see, it's so dark!
- Oh, wow, what's this?
(loud shaking)
- Could it be?
I've heard of an ancient temple
where Energon was
placed as an offering
to the great warrior who
once protected Cybertron.
Is it possible?
Could the ancient life
force be stirring?
Is the legendary hero
awakening to help us now?
(shouting in pain)
Yes, it is!
