Hot Shot: Nice to see ya. Thanks for coming to help.
Ironhide: Great to see ya, Doc!
Kicker: (VO) My dad… Without any kind of warning, my dad had come back from Cybertron.
Dr. Jones: We have to do it if we’re to defend the Earth! There’s simply no other way! Gentlemen! We must construct the Energon tower.
Kicker: (VO) This Energon tower design project that my dad designed is given priority over everything. And they wanted it up and running fast. The project even had the backing of the federation officials. The tower would be the biggest project since building our own city.
Kicker: Hhh! I don’t know what these people are thinking. It’s beyond me.
Alexis: All the supplies on that list should be arriving sometime today.
Dr. Jones: I owe you for cutting through the red tape and getting us the approvals we need.
Alexis: Yeah, well, this isn’t just about the Transformers anymore, seeing as how Unicron’s threatening to make a comeback.
Dr. Jones: I forgot, you’re one of the few people who knows first-hand how terrifying Unicron really is. Rad told me the whole story.
Alexis: It was awful. I wish I could just wipe all those memories. Are you sure you only need to me to help get the supplies? If we had more personnel, the project could get going a lot faster.
Dr. Jones: We’re not building the tower from the ground up, though. We’re getting parts from an existing structure and bringing them here. That’ll be the quickest way to get it done. And the fastest way, in this case, is the best way.
Alexis: Huh? So what kind of timeline are we talking about here?
Dr. Jones: Hmm… The Autobots have a lot of scientific know-how behind them, so probably about a week?
Alexis: That fast?
Dr. Jones: The antenna is even more important than the tower itself. You know, like the retractable kind you see on little radios? Hahahahaha!
Alexis: Yeah, I think I know the ones you’re talking about, Dr. Jones. I figured the whole thing would take at least a few months, being a human idea and all.
Dr. Jones: It’s a bit too early to start celebrating. Remember, the enemy could swoop in here any minute now.
Alexis: Let’s just hope they’re getting some R&R or something, till we get the tower up.
Dr. Jones: That’s a good idea! Hook them up with some kind of vacation package, would ya? Hahahahaha!
Alexis: Hmm?
Sally: Hey, Mom, how long do you figure Dad will stick around this time?
Miranda: Well, your guess is as good as mine.
Sally: Who knows, maybe this time Kicker and Dad will even get along.
Miranda: All we can do is just keep our fingers crossed.
Dr. Jones: Kicker! You in there? Kicker? Guess he’s not in. Hhh.
Kicker: The enemy will be on to us if they come for a surprise attack!
Optimus: Don’t worry. As soon as the materials arrive, we’ll get it undercover.
Kicker: Hmm…
Dr. Jones: There he is! Been looking all over the place for ya, junior!
Misha: Aren’t you gonna at least answer him?
Kicker: Tell my dad there isn’t anybody called junior here.
Misha: You know, I’m pretty sure you just told him yourself.
Dr. Jones: So, whaddya say? How ’bout I buy you lunch, son? That goes for you too, Misha!
Misha: Thanks for the offer! We actually just got back from our lunch break!
Dr. Jones: I see, then lunch isn’t going to work. How ’bout a quick cup of Joe? You must have time for that!
Misha: Sorry Doctor, I’m just on my way to Jungle City, so I have to get my things together!
Dr. Jones: I’m sure striking out. Junior! Can I buy you a soda? I might even throw in a knish if you’re lucky. Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Kicker: When are you going to stop with the junior thing? I’m taking off with Misha. You want lunch or coffee or whatever, then you’re on your own today. C’mon Misha, let’s get outta here.
Dr. Jones: No! Hang on a minute, Kicker! Hhh.
Sally: Dad! Boy, have I ever missed you! Heheh!
Dr. Jones: Hahaha… Sally! Hahahaha!
Cyclonus: This place is a bore. There aren’t even any battles going on to liven things out.
Scorponok: Yes, but this is Energon here.
Megatron: You’ll get your action soon enough, Cyclonus. Mark my words, as soon as our preparations are done.
Cyclonus: Hahahahahaha! That’s what I like to hear from you, boss!
Megatron: With this much Energon in our possession, we’ll build a new mobile fortress to rival all others. Come! We’re moving out!
Cyclonus: Yessir!
Scorponok: Mmmmmrgh!
Cyclonus: Hahahahahahaha! Hahaha! Hoohoohoohahaaaahaha!
Megatron: Tidal Wave…
Tidal Wave: Mmmmmhmmm.
Megatron: No problems, I hope.
Tidal Wave: Mmm-mmm.
Megatron: Unicron, mark my words, we will create a new mobile fortress. Move out! And search out what will be your new home! Mmm!
Cyclonus: Huh?
Scorponok: Huh?
Cyclonus: See something, Megatron?
Megatron: Huh. I deserve a better sword than the kind my enemies use.
Cyclonus: Ah, I coulda used that!
Megatron: I will have a more powerful sword made for me! Ahh… Ugh!
Cyclonus: Ah! Ah! Ah! Ahaah! Ah!
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha! Excellent. Now this is the kind of weapon I deserve. Everything is ready. Demolishor! I understand Optimus Prime is stationed in your old hometown.
Demolishor: Yes — I mean, it’s more or less the same place.
Megatron: Inarticulate as usual.
Demolishor: Forgive me, sir. It’s just I spent a lot of time away, even though I come from —
Megatron: Nevermind! Either way, I will bring an end to Prime. And you fools will destroy his base. Move out! We’ve got work to do!
Cyclonus & Tidal Wave: Yes, Megatron!
Q-1: Everybody gone. No one here but us!
Q-2: Heh, heh, heh! This is the perfect chance to steal the Energon!
Q-1: We’re gonna get it!
Q-3: Flee off, Terrorcons.
Misha: Hey Kicker, what made you decide to come here with me?
Kicker: I dunno.
Misha: ‘Cause of your dad?
Kicker: (VO) Huh. You don’t know the half of it, Misha.
Kicker: It’s got nothing to do with him. I’m just doing my part. Getting ready for the big battle. That’s all. Uhhh?
Kicker: (VO) They’re coming.
Jetfire: Attention all cities! Enemy warp field detected! Prepare for battle! Don’t allow the enemy to find out about the Energon towers!
Inferno: Optimus! It looks like they’re closing in fast on Ocean City.
Optimus: Yes. Ironhide, get all non-military people into the shelter.
Ironhide: Yessir and done, sir!
Optimus: Listen up, your mission is to protect the Energon tower at all costs.
Ironhide, Hot Shot, Jetfire & Inferno: Yessir!
Optimus: Move out!
Ironhide, Hot Shot, Jetfire & Inferno: Yessir!
Skyblast & Strongarm: Hghh! Hghh! Hghh!
Optimus: Powerlinx! Fire-1, combine! Copter-2, combine! Digger-3, combine! Submarine-4! Powerlinx complete! Incoming! Engage in battle! Huh?
Megatron: You’re mine… Optimus.
Optimus: Ahh! Hggghhhh…
Megatron: You will be the first to feel the wrath of my sword!
Jetfire: Optimus! Hgh!
Cyclonus: Hahaha! Bad news for you, you’re gonna have to fight us today. Here’s your stop, Demolishor! Ha!
Demolishor: Transform!
Ironhide: Demolishor!
Demolishor: Hmm?
Cyclonus: Haahahaha!
Jetfire: Hey, yuck it up, pal!
Cyclonus: I will, but I hope you get a kick outta this!
Tidal Wave: Got you!
Scorponok: Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhh!
Inferno: Ughhh!
Megatron: Ugh… Don’t just stand there, Demolishor. Show these cowards from your old home just how courageous you’ve become.
Demolishor: Uhh… Yes, Megatron.
Megatron: You do realize you’re my right-hand Decepticon — or have you forgotten?
Demolishor: He’s right. I’m a Decepticon and I have to act like it.
Ironhide: Hhh.
Demolishor: Aaaahh… Prepare to lose! …Pathetic Autobot!
Ironhide: No way, pal!
Ironhide & Demolishor: Argghhh!
Megatron: Excellent, that’s more like it. Ready for me, Optimus?
Scorponok: Outta my way!
Inferno: Aaahh!
Scorponok: Transform!
Hot Shot: Transform! Huh? Oh, no! Ironhide, you’ve gotta stop him!
Ironhide: Huh?
Scorponok: Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggghhh… You’ve met you’re match this time! Hahahahahahahahaha!
Sally: Where are you going, Dad?
Dr. Jones: I am not going to sit idly by and watch with all this going on.
Sally: No, don’t go!
Miranda: Sally, come back! Hhh! Ahh!
[Commercial]
Scorponok: Hahahaha!
Ironhide: Oh, no you don’t! Huh?!
Sally: Y’here, Dad?
Ironhide: Kicker! Kicker! Come in, Kicker! Do you read? Come in, Kicker!
Misha: (VO) What’s gotten into him?
Kicker: My dad can handle it. He’s in Ocean City.
Misha: Huh?
Sally: Kicker! Come in if you read me. Dad’s hurt bad! We need you to get back here, stat!
Kicker: (VO) Dad’s hurt?!
Jetfire: Oh no!
Cyclonus: Woohoo! Hahahaha!
Jetfire: Transform!
Cyclonus: Heh, yeah, you can run but you can’t hide!
Inferno: Oh, no you don’t!
Cyclonus: Aaahha! You just bought yourself a first-class ticket to Annihilation-ville! Hahahaha! Barbecue, anyone?!
Inferno: Yeah, and you’re the main course! Rrrgghh!
Cyclonus: Noooo-aaaahh!
Scorponok: Ah! Ah! Hahaha! Nice try.
Jetfire: Hey, Decepti-scum! You’re not going anywhere!
Scorponok: What makes you think I’m going somewhere? Transform!
Jetfire: You’ve already overstayed your welcome, pal!
Inferno: Hot Shot!
Tidal Wave: Errrrghhh!
Hot Shot: You know the drill, Inferno.
Inferno: You bet. Inferno!
Hot Shot: Hot Shot! Powerlinx!
Inferno: Powerlinx Inferno! Mmm!
Tidal Wave: Errr…
Inferno: Rahh!
Ironhide: Erggh! You underestimate me, Demolishor!
Demolishor: Your threats mean nothing. You’re talking to one of Megatron’s lead Decepticons. Hrrrrrgghhh!
Ironhide: Huh? Erggghh!
Demolishor: Hrgggghh!
Ironhide: Ergghhh!
Megatron: Hmm. Gotcha. Ugh!
Optimus: Fire-1, now!
Megatron: Ugggh! Ahh, ahh!
Optimus: I hope you’ve learned your lesson. We will not allow Unicron to be brought back to life!
Megatron: Huh. Too late. His revival is already well underway, Prime.
Optimus: What?
Q-2: Energon! Energon!
Q-3: This will allow us to revive Unicron.
Starscream: Oh, yes. It’s all Energon…
Qs: All Energon will be used for his rebirth!
Scorponok: Hahaha!
Jetfire: Yeah, you run!
Scorponok: Aaaargghhh!
Jetfire: Aaaaahhh! Ahhh!
Scorponok: Aaahahaha!
Jetfire: Oh, he’s gonna regret that!
Scorponok: Hahaha, hahaha! No one can stop me!
Jetfire: Oh no, I’m not done with you!
Scorponok: Ahhh, hahaha… Hahaha!
Kicker: We’ve gotta find a way to protect the Energon tower.
Scorponok: Transform!
Jetfire: Transform! Yaaahh!
Scorponok: Aahhhh! Uggghhh!
Jetfire: Gugghh…
Kicker: Skyblast, give Jetfire backup!
Skyblast: Will do!
Ironhide: Kicker!
Kicker: Ironhide, three o’clock!
Ironhide: Huh?
Demolishor: Hhh… Hhh… Hhh… Hhh… Aaaahhh…
Tidal Wave: Errr… ergghhh!
Ironhide: Urgghh!
Kicker: Inferno, behind ya!
Inferno: Huh?
Cyclonus: Yaaahahaha! Aahhh!
Tidal Wave: Hrggh!
Kicker: Yes!
Optimus: No fancy stuff, Kicker!
Kicker: I know. Optimus, nine o’clock!
Optimus: Urgh… urgh.
Kicker: Step on it, Skyblast!
Scorponok: Yaahh!
Jetfire: Aaaarrrrgghhhh! Ughh!
Scorponok: Hahahahah! Now to finish you off with my pointed claw!
Kicker: Not on my watch.
Scorponok: You’re next, fool!
Kicker: Oh no!
Scorponok: Yah! Yah! Yrgh… What’s this thing supposed to be?
Kicker: The Energon tower’s rising!
Jetfire: Uhh… uh, what’s going on?
Signal Flare Unit A: Fire!
Signal Flare Unit B: Fire!
Signal Flare Unit C: Fire!
Signal Flare Unit D: Fire!
Megatron: Ugghhhh… What is this monstrosity?
Tidal Wave: Big… Big!
Cyclonus: Huah?
Ironhide: Uhh, translation, anybody?
Inferno: No, it couldn’t be the —
Optimus: The Energon tower…
Kicker: My dad’s behind this. I just know it.
Scorponok: Hrrgghh… I don’t like the looks of this!
Cyclonus: Ugghhh-uhhuhhuhhuh!
Demolishor: Errr, urgghhh! Aaaahh!
Megatron: Urghhh… urghhh… Pull out!
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave! Tidal Wave! Tidal Wave!
Cyclonus: Next time you won’t be so lucky!
Inferno: Urgh. What is this stuff, anyway?
Hot Shot: Don’t know, but it didn’t affect us.
Inferno: You don’t think —
Optimus: It’s the awesome power of Energon! Amazing.
Dr. Jones: Isn’t this all incredible?! Hahahahahahaha!
Kicker: Dad!
Sally: Dad! Over here!
Dr. Jones: Sally!
Kicker: I thought he was supposed to be hurt. Sally! You didn’t have to go and lie!
Sally: How else was I going to get you to come back? It’s not like you would’ve come if I asked ya.
Ironhide: Let it go, partner. At least we’re all safe, right?
Sally: I knew it was just an act. You really do care about Dad, don’t ‘cha?
Kicker: I came back because I was worried about the Energon tower!
Dr. Jones: Put simply, what you just witnessed was an Energon shockwave assault. It’s still in the experimental stages, though, so there are a few bugs to work out.
Jetfire: If that’s the beta version, then I can’t wait to see it when it’s done!
Dr. Jones: Yes! It’ll blow your titanium boots off! Hahahahahaha!
Hot Shot: Hey, lemme put it this way — awwwesome.
Inferno: I bet the Decepticons were pretty shocked.
Jetfire: Yeahah, there’s an understatement! Did you see the looks on their ugly mugs?!
Optimus: Megatron will be planning his next move now that he’s seen the Energon tower. We must get it up and running before the Decepticons return.
Megatron: Hgh. Foiled again by Optimus! How did they build that weapon without our knowledge?!
Q-3: The time is near…
Q-2: Yes, the time is very near… Won’t be long now! Won’t be long! Won’t be long at all!
