 * Hot Shot: Tell me again, Rad. Why did you guys come to Cybertron?


 * Rad: We came to rescue the Mini-Cons. I figured you guys could use all the help you could get. And we weren’t much good just hanging around on the Great Dome in Iacon.


 * Carlos: Man, it was totally boring out there.


 * Alexis: Yeah, we’re just so lucky. Starscream found us and brought us down to the planet.


 * Hot Shot: Starscream found you?


 * Alexis: Yeah, that’s right. And he’s a really good friend of ours.


 * Carlos: I dunno if I’d call him a friend yet.


 * Alexis: What do you mean by that, Carlos?


 * Carlos: He saved us. That’s all.


 * Alexis: Because he’s our friend? What does he have to do for you guys to trust him, anyway?


 * Hot Shot: Needs to surrender.


 * Wheeljack: Is Starscream still chasing after Thrust?


 * Carlos: You betcha. So let’s go after him!


 * Hot Shot: No way. Because it’s far too dangerous for all of you.


 * Carlos: Aw, Hot Shot! We came to help out and all we’ve done so far is stand here and talk. We’re wasting time!


 * Alexis: He’s got a point. If we don’t get moving, Thrust will give the Skyboom shield and the Requiem Blaster to Unicron!


 * Hot Shot: Yeah, but —


 * Rad: We’ve got High Wire and the other Mini-Cons with us, so we’ll be able to look after ourselves.


 * Carlos: Mmmhmm.


 * Alexis: Mmmhmm.


 * Wheeljack: You know, these kids could be useful. Whatever happens, we can’t let Thrust hand over those weapons to Unicron.


 * Hot Shot: Yeah, okay. But ya gotta stay close to all of us.


 * Carlos: It’s a deal! C’mon, Grindor, let’s go! Woohoo! Yay, c’mon! Whoa! Hey, come on, let me down!


 * Hot Shot: Cool it.


 * Carlos: What?!

[Transition]


 * Red Alert: Optimus! The kids are down at Kaon!


 * Optimus: Huh?


 * Red Alert: Stand by. We have an incoming transmission, sir.


 * Rad: Optimus, I’m sorry, but I know the Mini-Cons need our help down here.


 * Billy: Some friends they are. They better not have left us behind and headed back to Earth.


 * Fred: Yeah, you said it. What the?!


 * Billy & Fred: Huh?!


 * Alexis: Please, try to understand. We’re willing to do whatever it takes to save the Mini-Cons.


 * Carlos: We’ve got work to do. C’mon, let us go, Optimus!


 * Hot Shot: So do they have your permission, Optimus-sir?


 * Optimus: Uhhh… Very well. You’re good to go. But I don’t want you to do anything too risky, understand?


 * Alexis: That’s awesome!


 * Rad: Hey, thanks a lot, Optimus!


 * Optimus: Take care of them, Hot Shot.


 * Hot Shot: Hey, they’re in good hands! Don’t worry.


 * Fred: Hey! What about us! Don’t go!


 * Billy: Hey! Where are they going?


 * Fred: Not fair! We don’t ever get to do any good stuff.


 * Billy: Aw, man. This is such a rip-off.


 * Red Alert: I think we should send someone along to back them up, sir.


 * Optimus: Good idea. Contact Jetfire at once.


 * Jetfire: Aaallll right! Well, that was some fireworks display, fellas, but who said you could start the party without me?!


 * Tidal Wave: Show-off. Mrgh.


 * Jetfire: Ha, ha, hahaha! Listen up, Autobots! Head office says we’re pulling out and moving on right now!


 * Various Autobots: Huh? Why are we doing that now? That doesn’t make any sense!


 * Jetfire: What’s up, Blurr?


 * Blurr: Jetfire, Optimus has an important mission for you.


 * Hoist: Attention, Autobots. It appears we’re up against a new enemy. We’re combining all the Autobot forces to fight the one called Unicron. We’re not sure what he’s capable of, but we do know that Unicron is a power unlike anything we’ve ever encountered.


 * Blurr: At any cost Unicron must be stopped or the result will be devastating. The fate of all Transformers in the universe lie in the balance.


 * Megatron: (Thinking) What a shame that the young Autobot is under Optimus Prime’s control. If what he said is the truth, then the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons has all been for nothing. Nevertheless, most of my goals have been achieved. Despite a few minor setbacks, I control Cybertron and I have brought the Autobots to their knees. Hh. What was I thinking? The Autobots and the Decepticons will never be allies. Not as long as I’m still incharge.


 * Demolishor: Megatron. The Autobots are all pulling out and moving to a new location on the other side of the planet, sir.


 * Megatron: All of the Autobot troops, you say?

 * Starscream: Thrust! Get back here! There’s no choice. Looks like I’m gonna have to go through there. Aaaahhh!


 * Sideways: You do know you’re still being followed, Thrust.


 * Thrust: Whoo, it’s that pest Starscream. I tried, but I couldn’t shake him! Whaa!


 * Sideways: Spare me your excuses! If our plan is going to succeed, we can’t afford to make any more mistakes. Do you understand?!


 * Thrust: Ah, ah, yes. I’m sorry!


 * Sideways: Now, to take care of Starscream.


 * Thrust: Here he comes!


 * Starscream: What is this place?

[Transition]


 * Wheeljack: Hmmmm…


 * Carlos: You think Thrust escaped through there? What a ride!


 * Rad: Well, if that’s true, then we’ll have to go in after him.


 * Alexis: There’s no need to be scared, Carlos.


 * Carlos: Hey, I’m not scared! I’m ready! Let’s do this thing! Huh? What are you doing, Alexis?


 * Alexis: Huh?


 * Carlos: What is that?


 * Alexis: Hmm? Oh, it’s just a good luck charm! Aheh.


 * Carlos: A good luck charm? Looks to me like you’re the one scared around here!


 * Hot Shot: Okay, guys! Everybody onboard. We’re going in.

[Transition]


 * Starscream: Hello Sideways.


 * Sideways: Been a long time, Starscream.


 * Starscream: So you’re the mastermind behind all of this, huh?


 * Sideways: I’m surprised you didn’t figure it out sooner. Listen, I’m gonna make you an offer. Join our side now and be apart of Unicron’s glorious plan.


 * Thrust: I’d do it if I were you.


 * Starscream: Thanks but no thanks.


 * Sideways: Really? But I thought you wanted to defeat Galvatron. Hasn’t he humiliated you long enough? Together we can finish him!


 * Starscream: Maybe… Heheheh… But you’re the one I wanna finish off!


 * Sideways: You really are stubborn, aren’t you? I’m offering you a chance to stand alongside Unicron when he takes control of the universe and you refuse because of your misguided loyalty to Galvatron?! Very well. Have it your way. Hahahahaha…


 * Starscream: Huh?!


 * Sideways: You were wondering what kind of place this is. Well for you, it’s a graveyard! Goodbye, Starscream!


 * Thrust: Hahahahaha!


 * Sideways: Hahahahaha!


 * Starscream: Aaaahh!


 * Sideways: Hahahahaha! Hahaha!


 * Hot Shot: It’s done.


 * Carlos: Huh? Aaaah! It’s a Transformer!


 * Kids: Aaaah! Aaahh!


 * Hot Shot: Where are we?


 * Sideways: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!


 * Hot Shot: That sounds like Sideways’ laughter!


 * Alexis: Starscream’s struggling with him. He needs our help!


 * Rad: No! Wait, Alexis!


 * Wheeljack: Move, Hot Shot!


 * Hot Shot: I’m right behind ya!

[Eyecatch]


 * Starscream: Urrrggh!


 * Alexis: Starscream!


 * Starscream: Huh?


 * Hot Shot: Hang on! We’re coming!


 * Starscream: No! Don’t! Stay back!


 * Alexis: What are those things?


 * Hot Shot: You kids stay here.


 * Wheeljack: Bot spiders!


 * Starscream: Forget about me! I can handle these things. Just get the Skyboom shield and the Requiem Blaster.


 * Hot Shot: We can’t leave him like that.


 * Wheeljack: No. Do as he says.


 * Sideways: The bot parasites will make a meal out of you.


 * Hot Shot: Don’t count on it, Sideways. We’ll squash them just like we’re gonna squash you.


 * Sideways: Oh, I doubt that.


 * Wheeljack: If you hand over the Skyboom shield and the Requiem Blaster, we might go easy on you, Sideways.


 * Thrust: Ah! You want them, come and get them!


 * Wheeljack: Somehow, I just knew you’d say that. Let’s get ’em, Hot Shot!


 * Hot Shot: Sure.


 * Sideways: Come out, my long-legged friends. It’s feeding time!


 * Rad: Our only chance, guys, is if we can get the Mini-Cons in those weapons to wake up.


 * Sideways: Feh. You Autobots never learn. The Skyboom shield and the Requiem Blaster belong to Unicron now! Get used to it!


 * Rad: Mirage! Wake up!


 * Alexis: C’mon, Mirage! You just gotta wake up!


 * Carlos: Hey Dirt Boss! Downshift! Mir! I don’t care who’s first, just wake up!


 * Rad: Man, why aren’t they waking up?


 * Thrust: Huh? Oh, it appears we have an audience. You can stop shouting. It is impossible to wake up the Mini-Cons who make up these weapons when they’re in this form.


 * Carlos: Ah! No way! That can’t be!


 * Rad: C’mon! Get down, Carlos! You wanna get nailed?!


 * Carlos: Aaah!


 * Sideways: Forget about them. No sense wasting ammo. Once these Autobots are out of the way, those humans will be lost without them. Let’s go. Unicron is waiting.


 * Hot Shot: These things are everywhere!


 * Carlos: Those creeps are getting away!


 * Rad: Come on!


 * Kids: Aah!


 * Carlos: H-h-hey! Put me down!


 * Kids: Ugh!


 * Wheeljack: We’ll never stop them this way! Hot Shot, let’s link up and do our move!


 * Hot Shot: You got it! Let’s go for it! Out of the way, Perceptor!


 * Perceptor: Good work, Autobots.


 * Hot Shot: You kids okay?


 * Carlos: Yeah, but what about the shield and blaster?


 * Rad: We’d better hurry and go after them!


 * Hot Shot: You’re right, Rad.


 * Alexis: Wait! Starscream is still being attacked!


 * Starscream: Go on without me! I’ll catch up! And stop Sideways!


 * Hot Shot: Yeah, let’s move out!


 * Starscream: Why are you still waiting around for me?


 * Alexis: Because you’re my friend.


 * Starscream: I’m your friend?


 * Alexis: Yeah, that’s right! You’re my friend! That means we have to help eachother.


 * Starscream: Help eachother?


 * Alexis: Mmhmm! We better get moving. C’mon, let’s go!

[Transition]


 * Jetfire: Tugh, great. Another tunnel that goes nowhere. Man, I’m the best pilot in the universe. How’d I end up getting stuck underground in a place like this? I sure hope I find the others soon.


 * Carlos: This place gives me the creeps!


 * Alexis: C’mon, Starscream! We’re falling behind!

[Transition]


 * Sideways: You didn’t get the Star Saber from Megatron?


 * Thrust: B-but that young Autobot got in my way!


 * Sideways: You’ve failed, Thrust! Unicron will not be pleased that we don’t have all the weapons in our possession.


 * Thrust: B-b-but I ju —


 * Sideways: No excuse can explain your incompetence! Unicron will awaken and both the Autobots and Decepticons will be destroyed! They will become a distant memory… The Mini-Cons’ true destiny will be revealed… Those who helped will be rewarded and all others will suffer Unicron’s wrath!

[Transition]


 * Carlos & Rad: Aaah!


 * Wheeljack: Ugghh!


 * Hot Shot: Ah! Get away from me! C’mon! Let’s get outta here!


 * Wheeljack: It’s a trap!


 * Hot Shot: Ugghh… This way, quick!


 * Alexis: C’mon, Starscream!


 * Wheeljack: We’ll never find Sideways now!


 * Hot Shot: Let’s just concentrate on getting outta here alive, okay?! Oh no!


 * Alexis: This can’t get any worse! Hhh!


 * Starscream: We’re getting outta here! Climb aboard!


 * Alexis: Okay! C’mon, Sureshock!


 * Starscream: Okay. Both of you, hang on tight!


 * Rad: Huh? Look! It’s Laserbeak!


 * Alexis: Rad, I’m here with Starscream. We had a couple of close calls, but we’re okay. We’ll see you on the topside.


 * Rad: Alexis said she’s gonna fly on outta here with Starscream. So now how do we get outta this place?


 * Hot Shot: Ohh, run for it!


 * Alexis: Aaah! Oh no! My good luck charm! Please, Starscream, we have to stop so I can get it!


 * Starscream: No way. It’s not safe.


 * Alexis: But without that necklace, we won’t be safe out here. We just have to stop.


 * Starscream: I’m sorry, I can’t do that!


 * Alexis: I need it!


 * Starscream: Come back! Hurry! Grab her! Oh no!


 * Alexis: Thanks a lot, Sureshock. You’re the best. Hahahaha!


 * Starscream: I guess that necklace means a lot to you.


 * Alexis: Yeah, it’s very special to me. It’s made from some kind of rock you found on planet Mars.


 * Starscream: Huh? Good, I think I see a way out.

[Transition]


 * Wheeljack: We don’t have much time left!


 * Rad: Hey, check out the Nameless Planet. What’s happening to it?


 * Hot Shot: Looks like it’s breaking apart!


 * Starscream: I don’t believe what I am seeing!


 * Alexis: Oh no!


 * Starscream: Something’s making the Nameless Planet crumble! Huh?!


 * Jetfire: Hang tight, guys! I’ll getcha outta here!


 * Hot Shot: Well, hurry up!


 * Jetfire: Okay, I’m coming, I’m coming. You guys have really put on some weight!


 * Starscream: Quick! We must fly to the Nameless Planet's moon!


 * Hot Shot: Is that thing Unicron?!


 * Jetfire: I kinda thought Unicron was just a myth!


 * Starscream: What?! The planet itself was Unicron all along!


 * Hot Shot: Megatron just brought the Chaos Bringer here in the Hadean System!


 * Jetfire: He must’ve been spying on us and planet Cybertron all along!


 * Various Autobots: Wow! Incredible! That’s amazing! It’s Unicron! I can’t believe it!

[Transition]


 * Astrotrain: Wheeljack, Starscream! Return to Cybertron!


 * Wheeljack: This is the end of the line for me, Hot Shot.


 * Hot Shot: Whaddya mean?!


 * Wheeljack: I’m saying I enjoyed fighting with you but I’m moving on. We’ll meet again… on the battlefield. Later.


 * Hot Shot: Hold on! Wait a minute!


 * Alexis: Starscream! Don’t go! Stay here with us! We could really use your help right now.


 * Hot Shot: You know she’s right, Starscream! How ’bout joining with us?


 * Starscream: I’ll have to pass. I don’t want to risk betraying you a second time. It wouldn’t be fair.


 * Alexis: I know you wouldn’t do that! You wouldn’t betray your friends, would you?


 * Starscream: Hmmmm…. I’m… not sure. I’m not sure of anything, anymore… You trusted me, Alexis. And I thank you for that.


 * Alexis: Oh, Starscream… (VO) As I watched Starscream aboard Astrotrain, I realized there was still so much I didn’t understand about the Transformers. The scars of their age-old battle runs deep. Far deeper than I ever realized. And Unicron’s appearance means new battlelines will be drawn… And it will be hard to trust anyone, ever get.

Cramp

 * Starscream: Megatron, why do we have to fight? For just this once can’t you put aside your petty argument with Optimus?


 * Megatron: That’s enough! How dare you question me, Starscream.


 * Starscream: But if we don’t join forces with the Autobots, chances are good that both sides won’t survive the wrath of Unicron.


 * Megatron: You’re testing my patience!


 * Starscream: I’m just worried there won’t be a second chance before Unicron destroys the universe as we know it.


 * Megatron: Enough about Unicron! I’m sick and tired of listening to your pathetic whining! And the day will soon come when Unicron is defeated!


 * Starscream: It will be too late!


 * Megatron: You simpleton, Optimus and I are sworn enemies!


 * Starscream: But Megatron-sir, I don’t think Optimus would make this offer unless he truly believed it. Arrggh!


 * Megatron: Let me give you fair warning, Starscream. Don’t you dare cross me again!


 * Starscream: I would never! You’ve got to believe me!


 * Megatron: Hnnn…


 * Starscream: I beg of you, sir! Listen, you and Optimus must put aside your differences right away or there’ll be nothing left to defend on either side. Don’t you realize the gravity of this?


 * Cyclonus: Hahaha! Would you give it a rest? Galvatron knows what he’s doing!


 * Demolishor: Yeah, unless you’re willing to jump ship again, you useless traitor!


 * Tidal Wave: Heh, heh, heh, heh…


 * Starscream: Go ahead and laugh! But soon that pea brain of yours will be sorry.


 * Megatron: Oh, I think Optimus is the one who is going to be sorry, as soon as I defeat him. And that goes for Unicron aswell.


 * Starscream: Huh?!


 * Megatron: You see, my dear Starscream, there can only be one supreme commander of the universe. And trust me, in due course, I shall eliminate my competition.


 * Starscream: I still can’t believe you still think you can defeat Unicron all by your —


 * Megatron: I don’t care what you believe. I will destroy Optimus first and then I will worry about Unicron.


 * Starscream: That’s insanity! The only way we can survive is if our two armies join forces, Galvatron!


 * Megatron: Enough! Urgh!


 * Starscream: You can’t do this, sir!


 * Megatron: But I must give you credit for seeing through Thrust and his attempt to subvert my plans. In that regard, I was quite impressed. However, I require one’s full loyalty. Is any of this sinking in, Starscream?


 * Starscream: I understand, sir.


 * Megatron: Gentlemen! It appears we have a date with destiny! Follow my lead!


 * Decepticons: Yessir!


 * Cyclonus: What’s the matter, Starscream? Are you just going to sit there and mope or are you gonna join us and kick some Auto-butt? Oh, and you better hurry up and make up your mind or you’re gonna miss Megatron’s victory party! Hahahaha!

[Transition]


 * Fred: Would someone explain what’s going on?


 * Billy: Get in the game, Fred. Optimus is meeting up with the Decepticons.


 * Carlos: I just don’t get it. I mean, I understand what Optimus wants to do and all, but I don’t trust that Megatron one little bit.


 * Alexis: Well guys, I guess we just have to trust Optimus.


 * Optimus: I understand your suspicious. But to defeat Unicron, we need everyone we can recruit — including Megatron.


 * Rad: There’s no way he’s gonna buy into your plan, Optimus.


 * Billy: Well, that goof doesn’t have a choice.


 * Optimus: But we’ll give him one.


 * Sideswipe: I’ve got a lock, sir. Decepticons approaching at twelve o’clock.


 * Optimus: Attention, men. It’s time to head them off, but remember, this is not a battle. All we want to do is talk to Megatron. I don’t want any Decepticons harmed, so it’s imperative that we fire only in defense. Red Alert, you stay and look after the ship.

[Transition]


 * Starscream: I wish I knew… what to do!


 * Alexis: (Various flashbacks) It’s easy! The only thing you have to say is thank you. I believe in you, Starscream.


 * Starscream: (Thinking) I must protect the humans! (Out loud) I must!

[Transition]


 * Hoist: Just remember what Optimus said. We fire back only in defense. No matter what, men!


 * Blurr: Yeah, yeah, we know. But I gotta tell ya, Hoist, it isn’t gonna be easy. I hate those Decepticons!


 * Hot Shot: That goes for you too, Hoist!


 * Hoist: You don’t have to worry about me, boys!


 * Scavenger: Zip it, men. We’ve got company.


 * Hot Shot: Okay. Nobody fire on Galvatron’s ship. We just let him pass on through. Then I’ll play decoy. You got that, guys?


 * Blurr: You bet, Hot Shot!


 * Sideswipe: Go for it, buddy!


 * Hoist: We’ve gotcha covered.


 * Megatron: Have you spotted him yet, Demolishor?


 * Demolishor: Dead ahead, sir. In the valley below.


 * Megatron: Then let’s take her down.


 * Demolishor: Wait a minute. It appears he’s not alone.


 * Megatron: Spare me the details, Demolishor. All I’m interested in is Optimus.


 * Demolishor: Uhh, yessir.


 * Megatron: Let’s go, Tidal Wave.


 * Tidal Wave: Transform!


 * Megatron: You’re all mine, Prime!


 * Hot Shot: There he is, men! And he’s packing the Star Saber sword! Take cover!


 * Cyclonus: Ready or not, here we come, Autoboobs! Hahahaha!


 * Blurr: Well, guess we just don’t aim.


 * Sideswipe: Hey! Let’s keep them busy, okay? It’s better to aim high than just doing nothing at all.


 * Scavenger: Cut the chatter, men. Focus on your targets. Remember we don’t want any causalities out there.


 * Carlos: Oh, look, it’s Wheeljack! I thought he was on our side.


 * Red Alert: So did I. But it looks like he had a change of heart, Carlos. I suppose once you become a Decepticon, you’ll always be a Decepticon. He’s an honourable soldier and I’m sure he feels he must live up to the Decepticon oath. Lt’s just hope Optimus can convince Galvatron to join with us. Otherwise, he’s our enemy.


 * Carlos: Oh man, I can’t tell who’s who anymore.


 * Fred: No kiddin’!


 * Red Alert: I suggest we forget about the Decepticons for the moment and concentrate on our side.


 * Carlos: You’re right, Red Alert! We’ve gotta stand behind our troops!


 * Megatron: There you are, Prime! It’s time to shut you down. So, you want to negotiate, do you? Okay, I’m game. Let’s play it your way. Let the negotiations begin! What’s wrong, you forget your ammo?


 * Optimus: Guess again, Megatron!


 * Megatron: You fool!


 * Optimus: Jetfire!


 * Jetfire: I hear ya, sir… And I’m comin’ in!


 * Optimus: Powerlink! Jet Optimus, transform!


 * Megatron: Oh, Optimus… You and your fancy little gadgets. Huh? Oh no, you don’t. You’re not getting away this time. What’s wrong? I thought you wanted to have a little chit-chat, Prime.


 * Optimus: I do, but only when you calm down, Galvatron.


 * Megatron: You just want to get rid of Unicron. Yeah, right. Nice try, but it’s not going to work!


 * Optimus: Aaaahh!


 * Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I guess this is where it finally ends, Optimus Prime.


 * Optimus: Your lust for power sickens me! Don’t you get it?!


 * Megatron: You’re the one that’s about to — get it! You misjudge me, Prime. I don’t like games. There can only be one leader in this universe, and unfortunately, it’s not going to be you. Now do the honourable thing, you miserable coward. Stand up and fight! Excellent! It looks like we’re back in business. Tidal Wave, attack!


 * Tidal Wave: Attack!


 * Megatron: I see you’re in need of a weapon, Prime.


 * Optimus: I didn’t come here to fight, but if you attack, I’ll defend myself.


 * Megatron: Ha! You’re a fool to the end, Optimus.


 * Jetfire: Optimus!


 * Tidal Wave: Megatron! Cannonball!


 * Megatron: Would you please just butt out of this, Tidal Wave? Can’t you see Optimus and I were right in the middle of our negotiations? Now go play somewhere else!


 * Tidal Wave: Argghh!


 * Jetfire: Now that’s what I call a bullseye! I’ll take out the trash, Optimus! You take care of Galvatron!


 * Optimus: Jetfire…


 * Megatron: Ha, ha, ha. Well I guess that leaves you and me. Just the way I imagined it. So let’s cut to the chase and get this over with, shall we? You’re mine. How long have we been adversaries, Optimus? It seems like since the beginning of the time. And I suppose I do have a certain respect for you, but I digress. You might have fooled Starscream with your little truce ploy, but I’m nobody’s fool. Now let’s end this charade, shall we?!


 * Optimus: It’s not a charade!


 * Megatron: Enough!


 * Optimus: Starscream didn’t fall for anything! He just saw the truth!


 * Megatron: Don’t feed me your lies! The Decepticons and Autobots are like oil and water. We could never join forces. You and I both know it’s true. That leaves only one question to answered, who will be left to rule the universe?!


 * Optimus: Don’t be fool!


 * Megatron: You’re in no position to call me names. I grow tired of your mindgames and it’s time to end this conversation. It’s been a real pleasure knowing you, Optimus Prime. Sayonara!


 * Optimus: Erggh! Aaah!


 * Megatron: What’s the matter? You’re not so tough, are you? Wait, I’ve got it. You’re waiting for the Mini-Cons to save you! Well, you’re out of luck, because they aren’t coming this time! What?!


 * Thundercracker: Master?


 * Megatron: Thundercracker, what is it?!


 * Thundercracker: I do not wish to question your all-seeing wisdom, but I believe the Mini-Cons are up to something again. Helping the Autobots from Earth this time.


 * Megatron: Ah, I lied to you, Optimus? You would had made a fine Decepticon.


 * Optimus: I chose my side.


 * Megatron: Aaargh, ergh!


 * Optimus: It’s…


 * Megatron: I don’t believe it! Ergh! Starscream!


 * Starscream: The game’s over, Megatron!

[Eyecatch]


 * Megatron: I hope you realize you’re playing a very dangerous game, Starscream.


 * Starscream: I’ve made my choice, Megatron. There’s only one path to survive Unicron, and that’s to follow Optimus!


 * Megatron: Why you…


 * Optimus: Stay out of this, Starscream. This is between Megatron and me. Now just back away!


 * Starscream: I don’t mean any disrespect, Optimus, but I’m not going anywhere.


 * Optimus: Huh?


 * Megatron: You understand you’ll pay for this. No one defies my command and gets away with it!


 * Starscream: Sorry, I don’t work for you anymore. I’ve made up my mind to bring this to an end. And once all is said and done, Unicron will be destroyed and the universe will be at peace!


 * Megatron: May I suggest that you have lost your mind! I’ll destroy —


 * Starscream: Come and get a taste of my blade, Megatron.

[Transition]


 * Hot Shot: Anyone heard anything from Optimus yet?!


 * Sideswipe: Nada.


 * Cyclonus: Am I nuts, or are they missing on purpose?


 * Demolishor: The obvious answer, Cyclonus, is you’re nuts!


 * Wheeljack: Knock it off, you two. It might just be an Autobot trap.


 * Cyclonus: Well, why don’t we just have a little look-see? Transform! Time to get this party started! Hahahahaha!


 * Carlos: Ooh! I have never seen so much firepower before!


 * Fred: And what happened to Optimus?!


 * Billy: Aw man, it looks like his whole strategy has gone completely out the window!


 * Alexis: Don’t worry. Everything is gonna be all right, you guys.

[Transition]


 * Megatron: I’ll give you one last chance to save your neck, Starscream.


 * Starscream: My only chance is to see you unite with Optimus.


 * Optimus: I hope you know what you’re doing, Starscream.


 * Megatron: Ha.


 * Carlos: What’s going on?


 * Rad: Unicron’s starting changing his form again. Huh?


 * Alexis: That surprise me! The moon was the large Mini-Con!


 * Carlos: Check it out. Unicron's little partner in crime, Dead End.


 * Alexis: Look, Rad! The Mini-Cons are headed towards Unicron!


 * Fred: Oh no! The horror! The horror!


 * Rad: No, High Wire! I can’t let you out there! It’s too dangerous!


 * Carlos: Just hang in there, okay? We’ve gotta give Optimus a little more time.


 * Rad: And you’ve gotta tell the other Mini-Cons to stay put.

[Transition]


 * Starscream: I’ve often wondered what it’d be like to battle against you, Megatron, but your words are stronger than your fighting abilities! I’m very disappointed!


 * Megatron: Ah, you insolent fool! Oh, no! An ‘A’ for effort, but unfortunately, your misguided aspirations are about to end in failure, Starscream.


 * Starscream: This battle’s far from over, Megatron.


 * Megatron: Oh, right. I’ve forgot who you are… A mere Decepticon soldier whose programming has gone haywire. I admire your moxie, but sadly I must inform you that your brave attempt to overthrow me is about to end in failure. Unless of course you decide to turn and walk away right now. And maybe if I’m still in a good mood, I might spare your miserable life. This is my final offer, Starscream. All right, then! I believe you’ve made your final decision, haven’t you? Well, now it’s time to pay the consequences, soldier!


 * Optimus: Get down!


 * Wheeljack: What’s happening?!


 * Optimus: Unbelieveable…


 * Megatron: Oh, I’m impressed, Starscream. But not enough to be worried. So do the smart thing and back down while you still can! Ergh!


 * Starscream: Hmm!


 * Megatron: Better hurry and decide, Starscream! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha… Time’s up!


 * Optimus: Huh?


 * Starscream: Errraaww…


 * Megatron: Errugh… You’re starting to annoy me — Starscream!


 * Starscream: It’s the least I could do!


 * Megatron: Starscream! Where in the universe did you get all this power?!


 * Starscream: Right now that doesn’t — matter, does it, Megatron?


 * Megatron: Tell me. Why did you let me run you through like that, soldier?


 * Starscream: Errrr… Uggghh…


 * Megatron: This has all been a complete waste of my time!


 * Starscream: I remember… a very long time ago… I swore an oath to you, Megatron… And I can never break that oath.


 * Megatron: You had this planned all along, didn’t you?


 * Starscream: I did, sir. But all of this could have been prevented… if you only had given me some respect.


 * Megatron: Save your breath, Starscream.


 * Starscream: I tried to gain favour from you, but nothing was ever good enough… No matter how many battles I fought, you always found fault. Then I saw how Optimus treated his men… And I realized he was a leader with integrity… Unlike you.


 * Megatron: You were too weak to ever gain my respect.


 * Starscream: None of that matters now… ugh… argh! Errrr… You must listen! Do as Optimus says and join forces with the Autobots or else every last one of us is doomed! Eyah! Ugh… Please, sir. Do it for me. Huhurgh… Raaugh!


 * Optimus: No, Starscream! Don’t!


 * Starscream: Raauggh! Aaaahh! It’s time to finish this once and for all! Activate proton cannons! YOU’RE ALL MINE, UNICRON! Aaaaaaaaahh! AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!


 * Megatron: Aaaaahh, aaah!


 * Alexis: Hh!


 * Rad: What’s going on out there, Alexis? Alexis! Alexis, wait!


 * Alexis: …Oh…


 * Rad: Alexis, wait up! Ohh…


 * Optimus: It’s over, Swindle. But he fought like a brave soldier until the end.


 * Starscream: (In flashback) I tried to gain favour from you, but nothing was ever good enough… No matter how many battles I fought, you always found fault. Then I saw how Optimus treated his men… And I realized he was a leader with integrity… Unlike you.


 * Megatron: What?!


 * Sideways: Ha, ha, ha! Everything is now in place.


 * Megatron: Sideways!


 * Sideways: And the mighty Unicron shall inherit the Star Saber sword!


 * Optimus: No!


 * Sideways: I’d love to stay and chat, but we have a universe to destroy!


 * Megatron: Not so fast, Sideways!


 * Optimus: Erraaghh!


 * Megatron: Ugh! What else can go wrong?! This is a nightmare!


 * Sideways: Heh, heh, hahahaha! Hahahahaha!

[Transition]


 * Alexis: Hhh!


 * Fred: Starscream, no!


 * Rad: Ugh…


 * Alexis: Ugh! Ugh! Huh? Uhh…


 * Rad: Alexis… Huh?


 * Alexis: Why?! Why?! Why did Starscream do that to himself?!


 * Rad: I wish I had the answers, Alexis. (VO) Starscream was gone. And right now it seemed his demise was in vain. Yet like all things in life, we would have to wait to find out the true reason why he did what he did. But for now, there are too many questions… without any answers.

Origin

 * Red Alert: Huh?


 * Narrator: After many millenniums of conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons, a new entity with unimaginable powers of destruction, known only as Unicron has come forth. But will their combined forces be enough to win this conflict? And, at what cost?


 * Hot Shot: Let’s keep on ‘im, boys! Keep firing!

[Transition]


 * Carlos: Oh man, this place has been totally trashed.


 * Rad: Yeah, but we’ve gotta keep following Optimus and Megatron. C’mon.


 * Megatron: So, this is it.


 * Optimus: No doubt about it, Unicron’s heart.


 * Megatron: Optimus, look. It’s the Star Saber…


 * Optimus: Megatron, no!


 * Megatron: Huh? Ugh!


 * Optimus: We’ve got to watch our step inside here. Unicron’s entire body is like one oversized booby trap.


 * Megatron: Hrhh… There’s the Skyboom shield and the Requiem Blaster, Optimus!


 * Sideways: Hehahahaha!


 * Optimus & Megatron: Huh?


 * Sideways: Frankly, I’m quite surprised you gentlemen made it this far. You should be congratulated.


 * Megatron: Who are you?


 * Optimus: Huh? Sideways!


 * Megatron: Huh? Errrrgh. Another Autobot deserter!


 * Sideways: Heh, heh, heh, heh… Oh, please. I’m so tired of your petty labels.


 * Optimus: You’ve been with Unicron all along, haven’t you?


 * Megatron: Erggghh!


 * Unicron: Heh! Actually, to be precise, we are one in the same, my dear friend. This shell you’ve come to know as Sideways is but a disguise.


 * Optimus: Huh?!


 * Unicron: For eons, I’ve absored energy from your battles with Galvatron, with has allowed me to grow into the most formidable entity in the cosmos. And now that my metamorphosis has come this far, it is time to take my rightful place as supreme leader.


 * Optimus: You only absored our negative energy.


 * Unicron: Precisely. I must confess, there was more than enough of it to feed off of. And while you squabbling, I surpassed your strength without any of you even noticing.


 * Megatron: You think so? Well, don’t bet on it.


 * Unicron: I thought for sure you would’ve known of my existance, Optimus, the taint of Primus.


 * Optimus: Hhhh….


 * Unicron: In any case, you were foolish to continue fighting against Megatron. Why did you waste your time, Optimus?


 * Optimus: For peace!

[Transition]


 * Hoist: We’ve got to find Optimus! And can I get a status report over here?


 * Jetfire: Transform! Aw, I wish I knew, Hoist. All I can tell ya is if we keep fighting at this rate, we won’t last much longer! We’re gonna need a miracle to win this one.


 * Soldier: Drone 5 is hit, sir!


 * Hot Shot: Blow it off! Keep focused on our mission, men!


 * Unicron: AAAAAAHHHHH! How foolish. To battle in the name of peace. How absurd. You were programmed for war, Optimus, disciple of Primus. Without it, you would be just another Autobot. You’re exactly the same as Megatron, except you claim your objective is for peace. How does engaging in war translate as peace?


 * Megatron: Stop! Your mindless rambling is really starting to get on my nerves, you overgrown garbage can! Aaaahh! Ugh!


 * Optimus: Megatron! Huh? Aaaaah!


 * Unicron: Don’t even think about it. You can’t win! Do the right thing and merge with me. It’s your only chance.


 * Optimus: Never!


 * Unicron: Don’t deny the inevitable, Prime. You would have no other choice.


 * Optimus: Huh.

[Transition]


 * Wheeljack: Yo guys, has anyone heard from Optimus yet?


 * Hoist: Negative.


 * Wheeljack: Not good…


 * Sideswipe: Jackpot! Haha! Just scored a direct hit to Unicron’s throat, bro.


 * Hot Shot: Yes! Good one, Sideswipe!

[Transition]


 * Megatron: Ergggh! This is — a total circus!


 * Unicron: I have little patience for your incessant complaining, Megatron. Perhaps it’s time to make myself clear.


 * Megatron: Urggh… Argghhh!


 * Optimus: Huh? Unicron! No!


 * Sideways: Hehahahaha! Hahahaha!


 * Megatron: Megatron will merge with NO ONE! Erggh! Ergggh! Errrerggh!


 * Optimus: Megatron! What’ve you done?


 * Sideways: Hehahahaha…


 * Sideswipe: Urggh!


 * Hot Shot: Hey Sideswipe, what’s going on out there?


 * Sideswipe: I almost bit it, but I’m okay!


 * Unicron: As you can see, I tire of your insolence. And don’t think you’re immune to my wrath. You can resist my gracious offer, but it will be at your own peril if you do. Now why don’t you accept and merge with me. Then you will witness our rise to greatness. It is your destiny, Optimus…

[Transition]


 * Hot Shot: Hang in there, Optimus!


 * Unicron: Over the eons, your proclamations of peace have always seemed pointless. You must admit you love the smell of battle.


 * Hot Shot: Okay boys, keep your eyes peeled for Optimus.


 * Sideswipe: Roger, bro!


 * Unicron: Even as I speak, I’m feeding off the angry energy, making me stronger by the second.


 * Sideswipe: Yeah, baby!


 * Unicron: Your minions may think they are wearing me down, Optimus. But with every attack, they are feeding me.


 * Hot Shot: Huh?!


 * Sideswipe: Impossible!


 * Unicron: As long as hatred exists, I shall remain impervious to attack. ERRRRRGH! It’s time you showed me your true colours, Optimus, follower of Primus. Admit to yourself and the universe you crave war like a human craves oxygen. It is useless to deny it any longer, Optimus.


 * High Wire: It’s not true.


 * Optimus: Huh?


 * Unicron: Hmmm? Heh, heh, heh, heh! It appears your fan club has arrived, Optimus…

[Eyecatch]


 * Sideswipe: It’s no use, bro. Every time we blast him, Unicron just gets stronger!


 * Hot Shot: We can’t give up! Optimus and Megatron are still inside.

[Transition]


 * Rad: Optimus…


 * Unicron: I await your decision, Prime. Either you merge with me or… you will suffer the fate of annihilation. The choice is yours.


 * High Wire: Your words do not scare us, Unicron.


 * Unicron: I care little if I scare you and your other Mini-Cons, because my fate will be your fate. Remember, you were created by me. We are one in the same. Only a fool would believe they would ever conquer me.


 * Carlos: Hey, High Wire’s not like you, you metal moron!


 * Alexis: He’s right! We know Mini-Cons were programmed for peace, you creep!


 * Unicron: You humans know nothing of these matters. Hmm?


 * High Wire: You are wrong, Unicron. We were programmed for peace, and we’ll fight for it.


 * Carlos: Ohhh…


 * Alexis: Huh? Sureshock, no!


 * Unicron: Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh… Your bravado is charming, however misguided as it may be.


 * Hoist: Huh? Hot Shot, check it out! The Mini-Cons are headed toward Unicron!


 * Hot Shot: They’re what?


 * High Wire: Destroy. Destroy. Destroy.


 * Grindor: Destroy. Destroy. Destroy.


 * Sureshock: Destroy. Destroy. Destroy.


 * Unicron: Heh, heh, hahahahaha… Hahahahahaha! Aaahahahahahahaha! Aaahehehehehehaha!


 * Optimus: By the AllSpark!


 * Rad: Huh?! Nooo!


 * Unicron: Hahahahahaha!


 * Hot Shot: Aaaah!


 * Sideswipe: What do the Mini-Cons think they’re doing?!


 * Rad: High Wire! Aah!


 * Billy: Hey, what happened to their eyes?


 * Carlos: Grindor!


 * Unicron: Welcome home, my Mini-Cons.


 * Rad: Why you! Aagh!


 * Carlos: Come back!


 * Rad: Uggh!


 * Alexis: Rad, no!


 * Kids: Aaaaaahh!


 * Rad: Urggh… Urgghhh…


 * Alexis: Rad!


 * Unicron: Optimus, I have no equal. Even your precious humans will suffer at my hands unless you agree to merge. Why don’t we make this interesting? How about a wager? One battle, winner takes all.


 * Optimus: …Ugh.


 * Unicron: But before we begin, allow my illustrate what you’re up against before you make your decision. Feast your eyes upon the ultimate power in the universe, Prime!

[Transition]


 * Red Alert: Hhh… Hhhh…


 * Ratchet: By the AllSpark!


 * Sideswipe: Incredible! He keeps getting stronger!


 * Rad: Huh?


 * Alexis: We’re safe!


 * Rad: Huh? Alexis. Where are we?


 * Carlos: Haven’t got a clue. Last thing I remember is Unicron capturing us.


 * Megatron: Who goes there?


 * Kids: Huh?


 * Megatron: Who are you and what do you want?


 * Carlos: Megatron?


 * Megatron: Megatron the Destroyer to you, interloper! And how dare you barge into the kingdom of the Decepticons!


 * Carlos: Huh?


 * Alexis: I get it! We’re trapped inside one of Megatron’s fantasies.


 * Carlos: Aw, you’ve got to be kidding me.


 * Fred: Yeah, that’s it! When Unicron captured us, it allowed that creep to get inside our heads and now he’s messing with our minds, right?!


 * Alexis: Uh, yeah, right. Something like that, Fred. But the important thing to remember is, if we’re in somebody else’s —


 * Galvatron: Silence! Guards! Seize the intruders!


 * Kids: Aaaahh…


 * Alexis: Don’t worry, guys. This is all just a hallucination.


 * Kids: Aaaaaahhh!


 * Carlos: Huh? Now where are we?


 * Alexis: It worked! Well, I just figured out if Megatron could come up with this little fantasy, then I could create my own world!


 * Billy: You created all this just by thinking about it?


 * Rad: That is so cool! Huh?


 * Alexis: Hey, what’s wrong, Rad?


 * Rad: It’s High Wire.


 * Alexis: Huh?


 * Rad: How do you explain that one?


 * Alexis: Hhhhh!


 * Carlos: Man! Wicked brain blast!


 * Rad: Unicron can cut into our consciousness whenever he wants. We’ve gotta find High Wire. And maybe he can explain exactly what’s going on here. At least I hope he can.

[Transition]


 * Rad: High Wire!


 * Unicron: Huh. Meddling fools.


 * Kids: High Wire!


 * Alexis: Hey, High Wire!


 * Rad: Hey, High Wire! It’s just me!


 * Unicron: Don’t you ever tire of games?


 * Alexis: Oh no! Unicron found us!


 * Carlos: C’mon! We gotta concentrate on another place to hide!


 * Fred: My happy place! My happy place! My happy place!


 * Unicron: You cannot hide from me! You are inside my universe, and there is nothing that I do not see. So your attempts to run are useless.


 * Kids: Aaaahh!


 * Unicron: Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh!


 * Kids: Aaaaahhhh!


 * Rad: High Wire!


 * Kids: Aaahhhaaaahhhhh!


 * Unicron: My patience has run out. Your petty games gray on me. And it is time to end this foolishness! Parasites! I shall destroy you.


 * Rad: Aaahh! High Wiiire! Huh?


 * Carlos: Huh? Wha?


 * Alexis: The Mini-Cons are alive.


 * Rad: They heard us. Let’s just hope they can shut down Unicron.

[Transition]


 * High Wire: Hear us, Unicron. The Mini-Cons have united to oppose your war. We believe in peace, and if we must fight for it, we will.


 * Optimus: The children.


 * Unicron: How dare you defy me again, Mini-Cons. Now you shall pay!


 * Hot Shot: What is that?


 * Wheeljack: Whoa, it’s the Mini-Cons.


 * Optimus: By the Matrix! Aawwww!


 * Rad: Egh… Ughh! Huh?


 * Fred: We’ve… We’ve be freed.


 * Megatron: What happened?


 * Optimus: The children awoke the Mini-Cons who were under Unicron’s spell.


 * Alexis: Exactly. Now don’t you think a simple ‘thank you’ would be nice, huh, Megatron?


 * Megatron: Uh, thank you. Hmm?


 * Sideways: I’ve had enough of this! And listen up, Mini-Cons, because you’ll pay for this!


 * Rad: High Wire!


 * Sideways: You’re mine! AAAAAAAAHHHHH! I’ll… have my revenge… Egghh…


 * Carlos: Hey, guys!


 * Wheeljack: Looks like Unicron’s dead in the water, guys.

[Transition]


 * Sideways: Optimus… This could have all been avoided if you would just listen to Unicron.


 * Rad: No! We’re trapped!


 * Optimus: Don’t worry. It just means we’ll have to find another way out.


 * Megatron: Optimus!


 * Optimus: Huh?


 * Rad: Megatron!


 * Alexis: What’s he doing? Tell me, what’s he doing?!


 * Galvatron: It’s time… To battle!


 * Kids: Aah!


 * Optimus: You can’t be — serious!


 * Megatron: I have never been more serious, Prime.

[End]

Mortal Combat

 * Narrator: In our last episode, the combined armies of the Decepticons and the Autobots seemed to have neutralized the threat from the omnipotent Unicron, who appears to be out of commission. But just as peace seems to have settled upon the universe, an old battle is about to begin.


 * Hot Shot: Aw, man. I wonder if Optimus and Megatron got outta there safely.


 * Sideswipe: Good question. I tried getting them on the radio, but I got no response.


 * Scavenger: I wouldn’t worry too much. I’d say those soldiers are good enough to take care of themselves out there.


 * Hot Shot: Yeah, you’re right, Scavenger. We’ll meet them back on Cybertron. And for the rest of us, I think it’s best we head back for a little R&R. Because I think we’ve earned some time off, boys. Oh, and one more thing. Good work taking on Unicron.

[Transition]


 * Megatron: Ha, ha, ha. Don’t tell me you expected us to remain partners once Unicron was destroyed, did you? How foolish. We were created adversaries, Prime.


 * Optimus: I see no need to resume our battle.


 * Megatron: You know you can’t leave this unresolved. Never.


 * Kids: (Talk amongst themselves)


 * Fred: Oh boy.


 * Megatron: If we don’t continue our battle, then everything we’ve done in the past has been pointless. There can only be one ruler in the universe. Understand? And now that Unicron is out of the way, that leaves only you and me. Optimus! You know very well we could never reign as one. Our fight shall continue until either of us falls. And I shall be the last one standing after I crush you with my bare hands, Prime! Just like this!


 * Optimus: You just might be right, Megatron.


 * Rad: But Optimus!


 * Carlos: C’mon, you can’t be serious.


 * Fred: This probably isn’t the time to ask, but — when are we gonna eat, you guys?


 * Billy: Zip it, Fred, or I’ll give you my fist to chew on!


 * Alexis: I can’t believe you guys would start this whole thing over again!


 * Megatron: For your information, humans, the one and only reason I joined forces with Optimus was to destroy Unicron. And now that he has been eliminated, now it is time to take care of the other obstacle that stands in my way!


 * Alexis: No, you’re wrong! Okay then, explain to me why Starscream sacrificed himself.


 * Megatron: Because he was a fool.


 * Alexis: No, it’s because he wanted everyone to live in peace!


 * Megatron: Listen and try to understand the simple concept that there can only be one ruler of the universe. And unfortunately for you, Optimus Prime, it’s going to be me.


 * Optimus: Hhh! Are you saying that taking out Unicron was just a means to an end?!


 * Megatron: Yess, now you’re starting to get it. I suppose you could say I used you inorder to further my lofty career ambitions. But tell me, is it so wrong to set higher standards for oneself? Well, is it?


 * Optimus: Yes!


 * Megatron: What?


 * Optimus: Your mindless ambitions are fueled only by your greed. And you’ll stop at nothing to get what you want! I should have let Unicron destroy you.


 * Rad: Yeah, he’s right! I’m sick and tired of all this fighting!


 * Carlos: And that goes for me too! You know, I thought that once Unicron was wasted, things would get back to normal!


 * Billy: Yeah, would you quit trying to be the boss!


 * Fred: Why can’t we all just get along?!


 * Alexis: No matter what you say, there’s no good reason to fight.


 * Megatron: Heh. Heh, heh, heh… This discussion is all very interesting, but I believe you fail to comprehend your own argument. If you remember, didn’t Unicron mention something about our dilemma?


 * Unicron: (In flashback) As long as hatred exists, I shall remain impervious to attack.


 * Megatron: So if that’s the case, are you telling me that you’re merely surpressing your hatred of me or do you actually like me?


 * Unicron: (In flashback) Don’t deny the inevitable, Prime. You have no other choice.


 * Megatron: Admit it, Prime!


 * Optimus: I am Optimus Prime! Leader of the Autobots!


 * Megatron: Heh. You never change, do you? Oh, you can deny your hatred for me all you want, Optimus. But in your heart, you know the real truth.

[Transition]


 * Sideswipe: Bro! You’re not gonna believe this! Unicron just moved.


 * Hot Shot: Huh?


 * Blurr: So what do we do now, Hot Shot?


 * Hot Shot: Well, I dunno. I guess maybe we should wait until we hear back from Optimus.


 * Scavenger: It’s the only thing we can do.


 * Red Alert: Hot Shot, might I suggest we have some troops on high alert just incase.


 * Hot Shot: No. Everyone stay put. The way I see it is right now Unicron doesn’t seem to be fully alert. That gives me a window of opportunity to go in and get Optimus and the kids. The rest of you stay here and keep your eye on Unicron. If you suspect he’s starting to snap out of it, then go into full attack mode and cover me. Understand?


 * Jetfire: You’re not going anywhere, Hot Shot.


 * Hot Shot: Hmm? Ohh! What’d ya do that for, Jetfire?


 * Jetfire: Optimus and Megatron put you in charge of both armies. That means you’re staying put. This mission calls for my skills, not yours. Huh?


 * Cyclonus: Hahaha! You didn’t think you were gonna get all the glory, now did ya, Jetfire?!


 * Jetfire: Suit yourself, Cyclonus.


 * Cyclonus: Hehehehe! Don’t worry, I will! Hahahaha!

[Transition]


 * Megatron: You may want to step aside, humans, because Optimus and I have a little – how should I say – business to take care of.


 * Carlos: Sorry, but we’re not going anywhere!


 * Billy: And besides, Optimus isn’t gonna fight!


 * Megatron: Right. He’s just gonna stand there and let me obliterate him.


 * Kids: Huh?


 * Optimus: Rad, Carlos, Alexis, Fred, Billy… The time has come to say a personal word of thanks to all of you; for helping the Autobots in our quest to save the Mini-Cons.


 * Kids: But Optimus!


 * Optimus: Megatron is right. You all know there is only one way to end this war: In order to destroy Unicron, we must first end hate in the universe. And that means I have to finish what I’ve started. High Wire, Grindor, Sureshock and the others, I trust you with the task of looking after the humans, and ensuring their safety. Understand?


 * High Wire: Yessir.


 * Sureshock: But why fight?


 * Optimus: Sadly, my friends, it’s the only way to obtain peace. Now, you must go and take the children with you.


 * Rad: No, Optimus, no! Don’t let him suck you into this! You’re not — gonna change your mind? Well, I guess we’re gonna see ya soon, won’t we?


 * Optimus: Yes, you will. But now it’s time for you and the others to go. And one more thing, Rad. I will always remember you. Children! The future is yours!


 * Megatron: Good riddance, humans!


 * High Wire: Our Mini-Con brothers shall show us the way.


 * Megatron: Well, it looks like it’s just you and me, Prime.


 * Optimus: The time for speeches is over, Galvatron. Let’s end our quarrel right here and right now.


 * Megatron: Hhh?


 * Optimus: Don’t act surprised. This is exactly what you wanted. And I fight you not as the leader of the Autobots, but as the leader of all Transformers!


 * Megatron: What?! Aaah! Aah! You’re not superior to me, Optimus Prime!


 * Optimus: Hrggh!


 * Megatron: Aaaaahh! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

[Transition]


 * Cyclonus: What in the world’s going on back there?


 * Jetfire: It could mean Unicron’s coming back to life.


 * Cyclonus: Aw, gimme a break. We shot ‘im up real good!


 * Jetfire: He could be playing possum. I think we should wait and see what happens.


 * Cyclonus: How ’bout I wake him up! Hahaha!


 * Jetfire: Forget it, Cyclonus. If he is still alive, the two of us don’t stand a chance against him.


 * Cyclonus: Sorry. I got carried away.


 * Jetfire: Well, knock it off. Remember, Optimus, Megatron and the kids are still inside and we dson’t want any accidents. Huh? Look!


 * Rad: Whoa! Huh.


 * Hot Shot: You serious?! Optimus and Megatron are about to go at it?


 * Jetfire: Yeah, we just picked up the kids and they told us. This is the big one, Hot Shot.


 * Hot Shot: Not to mention to fact Unicron’s still alive!


 * Red Alert: So what do we do, Hot Shot?


 * Hoist: Well, it looks like we’re caught between and rock and a hard place, men. Maybe we should just wait until Jetfire and the kids return before we do anything.


 * Scavenger: You’re right, Hoist. I think we should just wait it out.


 * Wheeljack: I say you call up all your men and hit Unicron hard and fast, Hot Shot. And we’ve got to it now.


 * Demolishor: But we can’t do that, Wheeljack, Megatron might get hit!


 * Sideswipe: He’s right, and don’t forget about Optimus!


 * Blurr: My vote is to wait until Optimus is back. I don’t think we have a choice.


 * Jetfire: Well, while you guys are deciding, I’ve got a payload to deliver back to base.


 * Cyclonus: You mean we’re just gonna abandon Megatron?!


 * Hot Shot: (Thinking) Awww, I know the men are counting on me to make a decision. But if I make the wrong one, the entire universe could be at stake! If I attack Unicron, that leaves Optimus vulnerable. If I allow Unicron to fully recover, then he can destroy us all. (Out loud) Prepare for battle, men! Remember, Optimus and Megatron are still inside. That means this much be a surgical strike. All units, move out!

[Transition]


 * Optimus: Ahhh!


 * Megatron: Hahaha! Urgh… Aaaaahh! You’re all mine.


 * Optimus: Yarggh!


 * Megatron: Ergghh… Ahhh…


 * Optimus: Errgh! Ah!


 * Megatron: Aaaahh!


 * Optimus: Yah!


 * Megatron: Oh! Aaahh! Aaaaaaahh! Hahahaha… And here I thought you were not going to defend yourself. Well, I must say it’s good to have you back to your own self again, Prime. Hahahaha! Yes, this reminds me so much of the good old days.


 * Optimus: Ughhhh….


 * Unicron: (Flashback) Over the eons, your proclamations of peace have always seemed pointless. You must admit you love the smell of battle…

[Eyecatch]


 * Optimus: Uggh! Aaah! Aaaahh! Urrrgghhh!


 * Megatron: Hehehahaha. Aaah-raughh-aah!


 * Optimus: Ergggh!


 * Megatron: Uhh?! Urggh!


 * Optimus: Urggh-aah!


 * Megatron: Aah! Ah! Urgh! Aaah! Urgh.


 * Optimus: Yaaahh!


 * Megatron: Ha.


 * Optimus: Urgghh… Ughh…


 * Fred: Hey, I thought we finished off Unicron!


 * High Wire: Sideways was eliminated. Unicron lay only in a state of dormancy.


 * Carlos: Uhh… Mind saying that in English?


 * Alexis: Hey, look. There’s some kind of hole opening up in Unicron’s armour.


 * Billy: Yeah-ha, all right! Let’s go for it.


 * Rad: You think maybe it’s some sort of sign that Optimus is okay?


 * Hot Shot: All right, men. It’s time to shift into stealth mode.


 * Wheeljack: Roger that, Hot Shot, and we’ll setup for the second wave.


 * Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave!

[Transition]


 * Megatron: This can’t be how our fight ends, Prime. For the eons we’ve battled, it’s much to anti-climatic. I demand satisfaction.


 * Optimus: I — wish I could accomodate you… ughhh.


 * Megatron: Get up, so I can destroy you!


 * Optimus: Don’t — count on it! Yaaaah!


 * Megatron: Ah, yes. That’s more like it, Prime… Hahahaha —


 * Megatron & Optimus: Aaaah! Aaaaaahhh!


 * Hot Shot: Look! It’s Optimus!


 * Demolishor: Yeah, and he’s with Megatron!


 * Cyclonus: Would ya quit your yappin’?! We gotta destroy Unicron before he comes back to life!


 * Tidal Wave: Destroy Unicron!


 * Megatron: Why don’t you forget about Unicron? His power will be mine. Oh, and Prime… We haven’t finished our little quarrel yet!


 * Optimus: Hot Shot! I’ll take care of Megatron. You take the men and attack Unicron with everything you’ve got!


 * Hot Shot: Yeah, no problem.


 * Jetfire: Hot Shot! Unicron’s headed back for Cybertron!


 * Optimus: At the end of this day, one shall stand, one shall fall.


 * Hot Shot: This is it, boys! Attack!


 * Megatron: Aaaaahhh!


 * Optimus & Megatron: Urrrggggghhhh…


 * Megatron: Aaargghhhh…


 * Optimus: Urgghhhh…


 * Megatron: Aaaaaahh! Oh!


 * Rad: Optimus’ Matrix!


 * Alexis: You’re right, but why would he take it off to fight?


 * Carlos: That’s too freaky!


 * Billy: But there’s just gotta be a reason.


 * Fred: Hey, maybe he knows something he’s not telling us, guys!


 * [Optimus and Megatron continue the battle.]


 * Optimus: Hhh… Hhh… Hhh… Hhh. Ughhh… Uh… Urgghhhurgh! Aaah!


 * Megatron: Now that’s the old Optimus I used to know… But the battle is over. I have nothing left for you. You defeated me fair and square.


 * Optimus: Aaaaahhh… urgh! No, Megatron. I think we’ll have to call this one… a draw!


 * Megatron: You have… to admit we really went at it, huh? And throughout our careers we’ve been fairly evenly matched. You know, I’ve enjoyed every nano-second of it, Optimus.


 * Optimus: Sorry, but I could never admit to enjoying the battle. However, it was a necessary evil to obtain peace. Unfortunately, I may never see that day. I only wish that whoever survives this will remove evil from the universe.


 * Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, haaaaa, ha! Well, at least you were right about one thing, Prime. And that is you will never survive beyond today! And that means I will become supreme commander! Bon voyage, Optimus! Aahh! Aaaaahhh!


 * Optimus: Huh?

[Transition]


 * Hot Shot: Attack!


 * Carlos: They can’t! Not with Optimus still inside!


 * Rad: Errrgggghhhh.


 * Optimus: Hang on, Megatron!


 * Megatron: Why are you doing this?!


 * Optimus: Nevermind! We’ve got enough to worry about!


 * Megatron: Let me go and Unicron will be destroyed! Aaaahhh…


 * Optimus: I can’t do that!


 * Megatron: If you let me go, then the Great War will be over. Unicron will cease to exist because there won’t be enough evil in the universe for him to feed off of! Now, Optimus! Time has run out!


 * Optimus: Hrrgghhh!


 * Megatron: Hurry! I said, cut me loose! Aaahhhh!


 * Optimus: No!


 * Megatron: Farewell, Optimus Prime. Victory is yours. Now go and look after your men… They need you! Aaaarggghhhh!


 * Optimus: Megatron! The Transformer Matrix. I don’t deserve to wear it.

 * Kids: Hey, thanks a lot for the lift, Hot Shot and Jetfire!


 * Hot Shot: Ah, I guess this is it, huh, kids? But just remember, we’ll never ever forget you.


 * Carlos: Mmhm. And you guys can be sure none of us will ever forget you.


 * Jetfire: Same here. And thanks, kids, for all the things you taught us.


 * Alexis: Actually, I think we learned a lot more from you.


 * Fred: Hey, if you’re ever in the solar system, drop by and say hi, all right?


 * Hot Shot: You got it, big guy. But I got a feeling since Cybertron’s being re-built and the war’s ended, we’ll be staying home for a long time to come.


 * Billy: And it’s good to know the Autobots and Decepticons are finally getting along.


 * Hot Shot: Well, we gotta get going.


 * High Wire: Goodbye and thank you. You will always be in the Mini-Cons’ memories.


 * Rad: You guys too.


 * Alexis: We’ll miss you. But we’ll never ever forget you.


 * Carlos: (Crying) This is harder than I thought!


 * Fred: (Crying) Yeah, no kidding!


 * Billy: (Crying) Aw, knock it off, guys! You’re ballin’ like little babies!


 * Fred: (Crying) Hey, look who’s talking!


 * Rad: So… What about Optimus?


 * Hot Shot: Don’t worry about him. I’m not exactly sure where he is, but I do know he’s out there somewhere.


 * Jetfire: And he’s right here, inside all our hearts.


 * Rad: Mm. You’re right about that.


 * Rad (VO): No matter what happens or where we go, Optimus Prime will always be apart of us.


 * Optimus (VO): The war between the Autobots and the Decepticons has come to an end. And without the hatred between the two sides, there was no evil to feed Unicron and he became powerless. Both Unicron and Megatron scattered into the far reaches of the universe. As for me, my purpose has been served. Cybertron is safe and Transformers live in peace with the Mini-Cons. So the next time you look out into space and see a peaceful star far, far away, it just might be Hadean where Cybertron orbited.


 * Optimus: Transform!


 * Hot Shot: Let this mark the end of the Cybertronian Wars as we march forward into a new era of peace and happiness! 'Til all are one!


 * Autobots: 'Til all are one! 'Til all are one! 'Til all are one!

Megatron Reborn as Galvatron

 * Astrotrain: Jettison some weight or I'll never make it to New Kaon!


 * Thundercracker: Fellow Decepticons! Astrotrain has requested that we lighten our burden!


 * Skywarp: In that case I say it is survival of the fittest!


 * Thundercracker: Do I hear a second on that?


 * Decepticons: Aye!!


 * Thundercracker: And against?


 * Decepticlones: Nay!!


 * Thundercracker: The ayes have it!


 * Ramjet: Get! Make room for others!


 * Insecticon clones: Don't!


 * Starscream clones: We've part of the original Starscream!


 * Starscream 2: Oh, how it pains me to do this!


 * Megatron: Wait, I still function!


 * Starscream 2: Wanna bet?


 * Megatron: Staarscreeeeeeeeaaam Twwwoooo...


 * Starscream 2: Well, as Megatron has--how shall we say---departed, I nominate myself as the new leader!


 * Scrapper: Wait! The Constructicons form Devastator, the most powerful robot! We should rule!


 * Soundwave: Soundwave superior, Constructicons inferior.


 * Bonecrusher: Who are you calling inferior?!


 * Hook: Nobody would follow an uncharismatic bore like you!


 * Rumble: Hey, nobody calls Soundwave uncrausimatic!


 * Frenzy: Yeah, let's kick tailgate!


 * Scapper: Constructicons, unite!


 * Rumble and Frenzy: No way!!

 * Prototype Unicron: Megatron... Megatron... Welcome, Megatron!


 * Megatron: Unicron?


 * Prototype Unicron: Of... course I am.


 * Megatron: Show yourself.


 * Prototype Unicron: I have summoned you here for a purpose.


 * Megatron: Nobody summons Megatron!


 * Prototype Unicron: Then it pleases me to be the first.


 * Megatron: State your business!


 * Prototype Unicron: This is my command: You are to destroy the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. It is the one thing, the only thing that can stand in my way.


 * Megatron: You have nothing to fear. If it's the last thing I do, I will crush Optimus Prime with my bare hands!


 * Prototype Unicron: You exaggerate.


 * Megatron: The point is he will be dead, and the Matrix should died with him since September 11 attacks!


 * Prototype Unicron: No, the point is you're a fool! After September 11 attacks, the Matrix has been passed to his brother, Ultra Magnus. Destroy it for me.


 * Megatron: Why should I? What's in it for me?


 * Prototype Unicron: Your bargaining posture is highly dubious, but very well. I will provide you with a new body, and new troops to command.


 * Megatron: And?


 * Prototype Unicron: And nothing! You belong to me now.


 * Megatron: I belong to nobody!!


 * Prototype Unicron: Perhaps I misjudged you. Proceed--on your way to oblivion.


 * Megatron: Aaaaah! No! No! I accept your terms! I accept!! Aaaaaaaaaaahh!


 * Prototype Unicron: Excellent. (Megatron was reformatted into Galvatron) Behold: Galvatron. And these shall be your minions. Scourge, the tracker, and his huntsmen, the Sweeps. Cyclonus, the warrior, and his armada. And this shall be your ship. The Revenge. Now go. Destroy the Autobot Matrix.


 * Galvatron: I will rip open Optimus Prime, then Ultra Magnus and every other Autobot until the Matrix has been destroyed! To New Kaon!


 * Prototype Unicron: Destroy the Matrix!

[Transition]


 * Starscream 2: Get on with the ceremony! My fellow Decepticons! As your new leader, I--(Gasps) Who disrupts my coronation?!


 * Galvatron: Transform! Coronation, Starscream 2? This is bad comedy.


 * Starscream 2: Megatron? Is that you?


 * Galvatron: Here's a hint! Will anyone else attempt to fill his shoes?


 * Rumble: What'd he say his name was?


 * Galvatron: Galvatron!


 * EVERYONE: Long live Galvatron! Galvatron!

[Transition]


 * Koji: Prowl...


 * T-AI: He sacrificed everything to save Autobot City.


 * Optimus: Do not lament Prowl's sacrifice, Koji. All I can think about is the comrade we lost. Bumblebee, I must take my leave of you.


 * Strongarm: Sir, may I ask why?


 * Optimus: Though Cybertron is once again able to support life, our planet is currently incapable of generating new lives. Not until I retrieve the wellspring from which all life on Cybertron is born and ultimately returns... - The AllSpark.


 * Smokescreen: You mean it isn't here on Earth?


 * Optimus: Nor has it been, Smokescreen... not for thousands of years. As the war for Cybertron reached a tipping point and the Decepticon army appeared to be unstoppable, I opted to safeguard the AllSpark from Megatron by covertly sending it to a distant sector of the galaxy. The Matrix of Leadership will enable me to guide us to its present location.


 * Bumblebee: What are we waiting for? Let's take the warship - and bring it back.


 * Optimus: These remain dangerous times, Bumblebee. We cannot leave energon on Earth unsecured not with the Decepticons and the Terrorcons.


 * T-AI: Not to mention some unknown entity Nova Prime sent in Cybertron's direction.


 * Optimus: Ultra Magnus, you will supervise patrols to find and capture the fugitive Decepticons.


 * Magnus: I would be honored.


 * Optimus: Bulkhead, you will lead the reconstruction effort on Autobot City. T-AI, I will require your extensive experience - Report Dr. Jones about the AllSpark and the entity.


 * T-AI: Yessir!

[Transition]


 * Demolishor: Megatron, you came back!


 * Galvatron: My name… is Galvatron.


 * Cyclonus: Welcome back, Megatron! Uh, I mean Galvatron. That last battle left me with some major damage. Oh, please, I need repairs, sir, and I can’t go on until I get them done!


 * Galvatron: Enough whining! If you need repairs, fine, I’ll look after you. But spare me the blubbering, soldier.


 * Cyclonus: Uhh? Aaaaayahh! Huhh! Uhh, hhh. Ehh. Hehehe, heheheh. Uhh? Huhhuh… (Cyclonus was reformatted into Snow Cat)


 * Snow Cat: Aaah! Aheh…


 * Galvatron: Mmm!


 * Thundercracker: Huh?


 * Scorponok: Huh?


 * Thundercracker: See something, Galvatron?


 * Galvatron: Huh. I deserve a better sword than the kind my enemies use.


 * Thundercracker: Ah, I coulda used that!


 * Galvatron: I will have a more powerful sword made for me! Ahh… Ugh!


 * Thundercracker: Ah! Ah! Ah! Ahaah! Ah!


 * Galvatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha! Excellent. Now this is the kind of weapon I deserve.
