1. Factories are busy manufacturing weapons to be used against the
2. greatest threat the world has ever known.
3. Evil, super powerful, robots: Decepticons.
4. (Supervisor) If you can use your computer skills to step up our efficiency, Chip,
5. we'll be able to double our weapons output.
6. -I'll give it a try, sir.
7. (Gasps)
8. Decepticons!
9. -Foolish insects!
10. (Skywarp laughs)
11. -Humans run funny, don't they, Starscream?
12. (Skywarp) Uh, look out behind you.
13. (Starscream) Drain this factory of its energy at once!
14. Fill the energon cubes!
15. -There's nothing we can do to stop them!
16. -Well, don't cash in your computer chips yet, sir.
17. -There may still be a few buttons we can push!
18. (Ironhide) Any luck, Optimus Prime?
19. Did ya figure out where the Decepticon
20. space bridge will show up next?
21. -I'm afraid not, Ironhide.
22. I've scanned the area where the bridge first appeared,
23. but my readouts came up zero.
24. -We might as well head back to Autobot Headquarters, Prime.
25. -Wait. A distress signal from Chip Chase at the munitions plant.
26. Decepticons attacking. Autobots, transform and meet me there!
27. (Ironhide)You heard the chief! Roll out!
28. -Heh. I wonder if I'll ever get used to that.
29. (Skywarp) There it is, Starscream.
30. Every last micro-spark of energy we could wring from the place.
31. -I'm afraid your button-pushing was too little, too late.
32. -Mission leader to Decepticon Headquarters.
33. (Starscream) Acknowledge, Megatron!
34. -Megatron here. (Sarcastically) Report, mission leader Starscream.
35. -I have achieved complete success. All the factory's energy is ours.
36. -Return with the energon cubes.
37. When I receive the new coordinates for the spacebridge,
38. we will transport them to Cybertron.
39. (Starscream) As you command, Megatron.
40. But surely you wish to commend me for my efforts.
41. After all, I was...
42. Autobots!
43. -I knew the Autobots wouldn't let me down!
44. -Optimus Prime!
45. -Very perceptive.
46. -You outnumber Prime three to one. Gang up and destroy him!
47. -With pleasure!
48. -Alter attack angle! -I'm with you!
49. -Optimus, are you all right?
50. -Affirmative. But keep back!
51. -I'd rather bash Prime one-on-one, but when Megatron says gang up,
52. Thundercracker gangs!
53. (Skywarp) Hey! Ya blew it, Thundercracker, but I won't!
54. -Wrong as usual, Skywarp.
55. -Optimus, watch out! That's a heat-seeking missile!
56. -Optimus! The computer!
57. -It's going to blow!
58. -I will shield you!
59. (Starscream) Hit him with everything!
60. (Optimus Prime groaning)
61. -Aaaahh!
62. -Unidentified vehicles approaching.
63. (Starscream) Autobots!
64. -Starscream! Do not fight them.
65. (Megatron) Escape with the energon cubes.
66. -Decepticons! We'll run 'em into the ground!
67. (Spike) You can't, Ironhide!
68. You gotta help Optimus Prime!
69. -Wow... what happened to you, Prime?
70. -Badly... damaged.
71. Losing... energy rapidly.
72. Wheeljack... Can you repair me?
73. -I hope so, but not here. Can you still transform?
74. -I'll... try.
75. (Optimus Prime)Power relays... are fused. Mobility limited.
76. Part replacement essential.
77. -He's gotta make it.
78. -I don't know. He got hit real bad.
79. (Bumblebee) Hey, lighten up, you guys! Optimus is gonna pull through!
80. He's--he's got to!
81. What is the condition of Optimus Prime?
82. -He has been permanently deactivated. We saw him fall.
83. -Fall, yes, but can you guarantee his laser core was extinguished?
84. I must be certain! Soundwave, activate Laserbeak.
85. -Laserbeak, transform.
86. (Megatron) Come to me.
87. Fly to Autobot Headquarters
88. and learn the true condition of Optimus Prime.
89. -I think Laserbeak's chicken!
90. He'll have more to fear if he refuses to obey me!
91. (Megatron) If Optimus Prime's laser core was in fact extinguished,
92. we shall destroy the accursed Autobots
93. and none shall stand between us and our conquest of the universe.
94. (Sparkplug) I don't know, fellas. It looks bad.
95. (Megatron) Excellent.
96. (Megatron laughs)
97. -What's your diagnosis, Ratchet?
98. -It's a miracle that his hydraulics are still functioning.
99. -Weaker... electro-pulse fading.
100. -He's doomed, I know it! I can feel it in my data bank!
101. -Nuts to that! There's gotta be somethin' we can do!
102. Isn't there, Dad?
103. -I don't know, son.
104. -Now, Laserbeak! Finish him off!
105. -What the...
106. -It's Laserbeak! Stop him!
107. -He started some kind of chain reaction inside Optimus Prime!
108. -Get back, everyone! He's going to explode!
109. (coughing)
110. Everybody okay?
111. -We're fine, dad.
112. What about Optimus Prime?
113. -(Groaning) functioning, but energy draining fast.
114. -They sure don't build 'em like that anymore.
115. -Ratchet, how long do we have before his energy drains away completely?
116. -Not long, unless I can replace this.
117. -Huh. A cosmetron. I have an extra one of these...
118. ...But not here.
119. -Hey, talk to me, talk to me! Point me in the right direction!
120. -It's not that simple, Bumblebee.
121. The cosmetron I'm talkin' about's in my old workshop, on Cybertron.
122. -Cybertron?! -Cybertron?!
123. -And, to make matters worse,
124. the Decepticons put a computerized lock on the door.
125. -I knew it was hopeless, I just knew...
126. -We've got ourselves a computer wiz
127. who might be able to get some of us through that door!
128. -Sounds like I've just volunteered to pick a lock.
129. Well, what are we waitin' for?
130. I always wanted to visit another planet!
131. Without Optimus Prime leading them, the Autobots will be helpless.
132. -Then why don't we attack them now, leader?
133. It's usually good strategy!
134. -We attack when I so order, Starscream!
135. (Megatron) Come in, Shockwave. Acknowledge!
136. Hail Megatron.
137. -When will the space bridge materialize?
138. -Within 72 billion astro-seconds at these coordinates.
139. -Broadcast visual representation.
140. Excellent, Shockwave.
141. (Ironhide) But how are we gonna get to Cybertron in time, kid?
142. Even Prime couldn't find a clue to the whereabouts of the next spacebridge.
143. But Optimus Prime didn't use the greatest detective on Earth,
144. Teletraan 1.
145. By feeding Teletraan 1 all the data we have about the spacebridge's last appearance,
146. I might get it to predict where the bridge will appear next.
147. -Hey, just like Sherlock Holmes with floppy disks!
148. (Ironhide) Come on, Teletraan. Prime's runnin' out o' time.
149. -Careful with those cubes, Rumble.
150. You clumsy clunker!
151. -Hey, who you callin' clumsy, gasket-breath?
152. (Starscream) My talents are wasted on this project.
153. I should be in sole command of everything!
154. (Reflector) Ready, Starscream.
155. -Hey, I thought we needed a driver to haul this stuff across the spacebridge.
156. -We do.
157. -No! Please! Not me! No!
158. -Have a nice journey, warrior.
159. -Say hi to the old gang on Cybertron!
160. -Shockwave to Megatron. Energon cubes received.
161. -Chip, you and Teletraan are some hot team.
162. Ya found the spacebridge.
163. (Starscream) Autobots!
164. -Trash 'em!
165. (Bluestreak) -Battle time!
166. (Autobots groaning)
167. (Ironhide) Can't see! The flash shorted my optic sensors!
168. -Bumblebee, look out!
169. (Rumble) Don't split yet, runt!
170. The party's just startin'!
171. (Chuckles) This oughtta shake ya up!
172. What a sorry sight for sore eyes.
173. (Megatron) Starscream, wait!
174. The rain has given me an idea.
175. Let the Autobots win.
176. Do as I say.
177. (Megatron) Well done.
178. Return to headquarters immediately for further orders.
179. -Autobots!
180. -Some liquid nitrogen should cool things off!
181. (Shockwave Grunts)
182. -Can't move! We're stuck!
183. -Megatron speaks: Security on Cybertron has been breached.
184. Destroy all intruders with rain!
185. Acid rain!
186. (Bumblebee) We gotta get into Wheeljack's old workshop.
187. Don't give up, I know you can do it.
188. -There's one last sequence I can try.
189. -Ya did it, Chip!
190. -Now if my detectors can only find that cosmeta-whatchamacallit.
191. Was that fast enough?
192. Let's get this gadget back to Optimus!
193. Acid rain!
194. If it hits our circuits, we're goners!
195. And so is Optimus Prime!
196. -We f-failed, Chip... we... f-failed.
197. It's all over, Chip... all o-over.
198. -All over for them.
199. For us, it is just starting.
200. Everything is going according to my plan.
201. The Autobots are without their mighty leader,
202. and four of their number have been vanquished on Cybertron.
203. -Then I humbly suggest we attack their base now while we have the advantage!
204. -For once, Starscream, we agree.
205. And I shall personally lead the assault.
206. The new age of Decepticon supremacy is about to begin.
207. (The Decepticons cheer)
208. (Sparkplug) What's the verdict, Wheeljack?
209. (Wheeljack) We've done all we can, Sparkplug.
210. Optimus Prime needs a new cosmetron, and if we don't get one soon,
211. all hope is lost.
212. -Onward to victory! No one can defeat us now!
213. -We can't fail!
214. Optimus Prime, our... our world...
215. the whole universe depends on us!
216. -Failed, Chip. Acid storm... disabled... circui... try.
217. -No one's ever really disabled as long as he had courage!
218. (Autobots groan)
219. -Well, guys... do we quit or f-fight?
220. -Maybe I still... h-have enough power left...
221. to shield us from this killer rain.
222. -Way to go, Trailbreaker!
223. Now your automatic repair systems can put ya back in shape!
224. -And while they work, I'll take care of our three rainmakers!
225. -I never did like rain, acid or otherwise.
226. -I'm really feelin' better! Like I just stepped off the assembly line!
227. -All right! Let's stop talkin' and save Optimus!
228. Transform and roll for his life!
229. -Don't strain your linkage. I'll set us free.
230. The fools, they're back!
231. They'll never reach Earth as functional mechanisms!
232. -Whew.
233. But we still have to get the cosmetron to Optimus Prime!
234. How fast can you go, Bumblebee?
235. -Hold onto your teeth!
236. -I'm sorry, Spike. Sometimes nothin' you do makes any difference.
237. -Optimus Prime... dead?
238. (Wheeljack) Teletraan-1's security alarm!
239. We're being attacked!
240. (Sparkplug) Decepticons! Looks like all of 'em!
241. -D'oh, we're doomed!
242. Without Optimus Prime, we're no match for the Decepticons!
243. -We can't go down without trying!
244. Prime would want us to go for it, no matter what the odds!
245. Well, are you with me, or do I fight this battle alone?
246. -Son, you can't! -But we can!
247. We get your message, Spike! Autobots, transform!
248. -Wheeljack and I'll stay here to guard Optimus Prime.
249. -Roll for it!
250. Can you get a fix on the enemy's location, Hound?
251. -Radar scope detects Decepticons in close proximity, Huffer.
252. -Forget the radar! Here they come!
253. All right, guys! Let 'em have it!
254. -Take no prisoners!
255. -You can't hit all of us at once, Earth germ!
256. -Ravage, eject!
257. -Ravage! Bad kitty!
258. Whaaoohh!
259. -So, ya wanna rumble with Rumble, eh?
260. -We're expending too much energy!
261. We must conserve!
262. -Then I will end this charade now!
263. -Chip, did you get the cosmetron?
264. -Yeah! I just hope it's not too late!
265. -There's still time for us to see some action!
266. (Starscream) But not for long!
267. (Sparkplug) Where's the gizmo?
268. (Megatron laughs)
269. We are victorious!
270. Is there anyone in the universe who will challenge the might of Megatron?
271. (Optimus Prime) There is one, Megatron!
272. I, Optimus Prime, challenge you!
273. -Optimus Prime? He lives?
274. -Our leader's back.
275. -He accepted your challenge, leader.
276. The battle code requires you to engage him in combat. Alone.
277. -Then it's just the two of us, Megatron!
278. -I used too much power against the Autobots! I need assistance!
279. -How unfortunate.
280. If you cannot fight your opponent yourself, you are not fit to be our leader.
281. I am the only suitable leader, anyway.
282. -Megatron. Do you yield?
283. -Yield. For now! Only for now!
284. -Retreat! And take our leader back for repairs.
285. (The Autobots cheer)
286. (Chip) I guess that takes care of the Decepticons.
287. Uh-uh. They'll be back. I just know it. They'll be back.
