MEGATRON [THINKING]:

Huh? Where am I?

There's a black mist

surrounding me.

It seems to be clearing

somewhat.

Wait, I remember!

I was destroyed!

And yet I remain.

Am I a ghost?

Hmm.

It's Megatron!

But how is that possible?

Who cares?

Wait! Let's figure this out.



Figure what out?

We should blast him before he

starts stirrin' up trouble!

Come on!



[GROANS]

All right, but I got

a bad feelin' about this!

RED ALERT:

It looks like he's landing

on the other side

of this structure.

HOTSHOT:

Even as a ghost, this guy's

getting on my nerves!

Megatron,

his spark still remains.

What is it, Safeguard?

[CHITTERING]

Optimus,

it seems we've lost contact

with Jolt

and the children!

Oh, that's not good,

Vector Prime.

You'd better check in on them.

We'll keep an eye on Megatron.

Hm.

[♪♪♪]

RANSACK:

Crumplezone!

Hang in there, big guy!

We haven't even learned

how to play the violin!

[WAILS]

Come on, Crumplezone,

old buddy!

Ya can't leave me like this!

M-Megatron--

Hmm?

It-- It is Megatron!

He's come back for us!

It's Crumplezone, boss!

He's headed

for the last round up!

It's okay, Crumplezone!

Megatron's coming.

He'll know what to do!

Over here, Megatron! Hurry!

Ya gotta help him! Megatron!

Can you hear me? Over here!

Megatron! Hey, hey, Megatron!

Hm. Something's happened

to Crumplezone.

RANSACK:

Megatron, boss! Please hurry!

I-I think his lights

are goin' out!

[♪♪♪]

Hmm?

RANSACK:

Uh, Megatron?

[GASPS, THEN WHIMPERING]

Did you see that? What is he?

I don't know.

[♪♪♪]

[WHIMPERING]

[THINKING]

Arise, my minion.

Jeez!

What's he doing to him?

[CRUMPLEZONE SHOUTING

INCOHERENTLY]

Crumplezone!

Oh, the horror!?

Oh! Jeez! That's gotta hurt!

Oh, man. Whoa!

Where did those come from!?

The humanity of it all!

[METAL CREAKING]

[CRYING]

Wh-What did he do!?

[WHIMPERING]

Huh?

Hey, Ransack.

How's it goin, lil buddy?

F-f-fine. How 'bout you?

You kiddin'?

I never felt better!

[GIBBERS]

Crumplezone,

isn't that kind of a...

new look for you?

New look?

I guess you could call it that.

Or you might call it a new me.

This is unbelievable!

I don't think I've ever

felt this good before

or this powerful!

Come on!

Let's do some damage!

[THINKING]

It seems I've remade

Crumplezone in my own image.

Is it because

of this black mist?

[EXCLAIMS, THEN LAUGHS]

This black mist, could this be

the shadow-spark of Unicron?

We're the masters of disaster!

Thanks to the Armor of Unicron,

my destruction had only

made me more powerful!

[CACKLES

[WHOOPING AND LAUGHING]

CRUMPLEZONE:

Whee! Yeah, baby!

Get down!

I think that was Override!

I wanna give her a scare!

I'm likin' this new take-charge

attitude you got goin', pal!

[BRAKES SQUEAL]

Whatcha hidin' from, Override?

You ain't afraid, are ya?

[CRUMPLEZONE LAUGHS]

Come on! You know

we can take these clowns!

Override, come out and play!

Wahoo!

Let's do it!

CRUMPLEZONE:

Oh, I got a little surprise

for you, Autobots!

[LAUGHS]

Dark Bazooka!

What--? What was that?

Whoo-hoo! You finished 'em both

with one sh*t, big guy!

Finished?

Whaddya mean "finished?"

I'm just getting started!

Uh, but ya already knocked

the sprockets out of 'em!

Yeah, and now it's time to have

some real fun, lil buddy!

[LAUGHS]

[GRUNTS]

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTS]

Scourge! You don't care

about the Omega Lock.

What's your real interest here?

Let's just say

I want a rematch!

Sorry to be so forward.

[THINKING]

Hmm? More Autobots.

But do they truly think

they can defeat a ghost?

[♪♪♪]

Coby! Lori!

No signs of a struggle.

But no. They never

would have left on their own.

Perhaps the security monitors

recorded what happened.

Where are

the Mini-Cons?

[GASPS]

[♪♪♪]

Hey!

Put the Mini-Cons down!

Oh, I'm so scared of you I

think I'll run away! See ya!

Come back here!

Follow him!

[PANTING]

[ALL GRUNT]

Sideways!

There is trouble, Optimus!

Sideways

has taken the Mini-Cons!

What?

What about the kids?

VECTOR:

The children went after them.

No!

We have to find them before--

[GROWLING]

Bah!

Blast you, Scourge!

There are more important things

at stake than your ego!

There are lives

on the line here!

Woo-hoo-hoo! Can't catch me!

VECTOR:

Red Alert! Scattershot! I need

your help in the Sky Dome!

Hotshot!

Mind covering for me?

Delighted!



Thank you, kindly!

Hey! Come back here,

ya spoil-sport!

EVAC:

Darn it! I'm a monster hunter,

not a ghost hunter!

We're just wasting Energon,

at this point.

Aw, did I scratch your paint,

there? Clumsy me!

[LAUGHS]

What's the matter, Override?

Are you slowing down

in your old age?

[GRUNTS]

Ya missed me again,

there, mate.

[LAUGHS]

Let a pro show ya

how it's done!

I'll show you the business end

o' my blasters!

Huh? What's that?

I can't quite hear ya, Jetfire!

Why, you little--

Hey, you know, I been workin'

on somethin' special

for just such an occasion!

I call it my Rain

of Ultimate Destruction!

Aw, what now?

Jumpin' crankshafts!

[SCREAMS, THEN GRUNTS]

Fear my wrath, Autobots!

Hold your fire!



Hmm?

Look around.

Those Decepti-clowns

have gotten their

fighting spirit back.

And it's all because of this

shadow of their fallen leader.

If we're gonna win this thing,

we've gotta take care of

Megatron once and for all!

Of course we need to get rid

of Megatron, but how?

Even I can't seem to hit him,

and this is me

we're talking about here!

Hey Leobreaker, just don't do

nothing crazy.

You should know me

better than that!

Of course I'm gonna do

something crazy!

[♪♪♪]

Megatron! I'm comin' for you!

[ROARS]

Use your Cyber Key first,

you darned fool!

LEOBREAKER:

Give me a chance, Snarl!

Jeez!

All right!

Time to slice and dice!

[THINKING]

Hm. Impressive.

[ROARING]

But ultimately futile.

Huh?

[LAUGHS]

Leobreaker! Get back!

What?

[♪♪♪]

[CACKLING]

It-it can't be!

Has Megatron

really come back to life?

Alive again, eh?

Oh, well.

It was fun while it lasted.

And at least I still have this!

[GASPS]

Wh-what is this stuff?

Aagh! Get it off of me!

[GRUNTING]

[♪♪♪]

SNARL:

It's forming a shape!

[CHUCKLES]

No way!

Impossible!

[CHUCKLES]

Isn't he cute? I think

I'll call him Nemesis Breaker!

Nemesis! Show him

the real king of the jungle!

[ROARS]

Get off me, ya poser!

Oh, contraire, Leobreaker,

he's no poser.

He's just as real as you are.

What?

[GROANS]

How?

MEGATRON:

Optimus doesn't know, does he?

He doesn't know about the dark

thoughts you hide deep within.

But Nemesis Breaker was formed

from your own dark side.

And now that very darkness will

be the Autobots' destruction!

Never!

[ROARS]

Hey, don't listen, Leobreaker!

He's just trying

to mess with your head!

I know that! That Decepti-cat

is going to get neutered!

[ROARING]

[GROANS]

Not true.

Good kitty!

[CHUCKLES]

Now, there's only one more thing

I need you to do:

You must link up

in Dark Claw Mode!

No!

At last! The ultimate expression

of my dark powers:

Dark Claw Mode!

No way! Not gonna happen!

Huh?

Leobreaker!

So you're not at all concerned

about Megatron's sudden new

powers, are you Optimus Prime?

I am more worried about him

than I am about you!

Blast it! Get back here!

He'll deal with you later!

[CHUCKLES]

Hmm?

You should've stayed a ghost,

Megatron.

It would've saved me

the trouble!

ALL:

Optimus Prime!

If you're looking

to go claw-to-claw,

then I'm more than happy

to oblige!

[LEOBREAKER GROANS]



Leobreaker.

[SHUDDERING]

It's time to link up.

[GASPS]

[♪♪♪]

RED ALERT:

I assume you've already checked

that volcanic island.

Starscream's

too sneaky for that.

I have contacted Colonel

Franklin back on planet Earth.

He said that the island

has been completely cleaned out.

Dang it, Coby!

I gave ya a remote communicator,

so why don't you communicate?

[♪♪♪]

COBY:

Oh! If we could just catch

that stupid communicator!

I'll get it this time!

Here it comes,

and there it goes.

Coby! It's coming your way!

[GRUNTS, THEN WAILING]

Would you two just stop it?

Don't you know

we've got to get out of here,

so we can help Jolt and--

[GRUNTS]

[♪♪♪]

You can do it, Leobreaker.

I'm counting on you.

Ready!

I'll tear you apart!

Come on, Leobreaker!

Let's put this blowhard

back where he belongs!

[♪♪♪]

I'm with you, Optimus.

You know you can count on me!

Here we go, then.

Savage Claw Mode!

[♪♪♪]

This is it, Megatron.

Your Unicron Armor against

the Matrix of Leadership.

Leobreaker

against Nemesis Breaker.

You against me.

Then let this be

our last b*ttlefield.

RANSACK:

Whoo-hoo! Ya got her

on the run now!

[LAUGHING]

Gotcha!

All hail the new king

of Speed Planet!

"King Crumplezone the First!"

Ooh, I like the sound of that!

Oh, man, that is enough!

I've had just about

all I can take

from those

two sprocketheads!

Eat this, you clowns!

Bull's-eye!

RANSACK [COUGHING]:

Hey, King?

Yeah?



I think you just got crowned.

[CHUCKLES]

Enough with all the comic

relief. Let's do this.

[♪♪♪]

Ready when you are, Megatron.

Oh, I'm always ready, Optimus.

You should know that by now.

[CHUCKLES]

Bring it on.

I'm not holding back, Megatron!

Then neither will I!

Everybody, take cover!

BOTH:

Not again!

By the Allspark!

[GROANING]

Megatron, I--

Megatron? Wh--? No!

Blast it!

He played me like a piano!

Tall, dark and gruesome's

over here, Optimus!

Drivin' like a bot out of Chaar!

Looks like he's makin' a run

for the Omega Lock!

Of course. With Megatron,

it's always about the power.

We've got to stop Megatron

at any cost!

Autobots! Roll out!

Well, looks like

I've got bigger fish to fry!

Bigger fish?

[GROANS]

Must I endure such insults?

[THINKING]

Poor Optimus, such a sucker

for cheap theatrics!

[CHUCKLES]

[THINKING]

You'd better run.

You've got the best team

in the galaxy on your tail,

and they've got something

to fight for.

Something you could

never understand.

Something more important

than power or glory.

They're fighting for peace.

For friendship.

For the safety and happiness

of everyone

in the entire universe.

That's why we fight and why

we'll never stop fighting,

until we defeat you

once and for all!
