Kicker: (VO) After a minor setback, we finally got the spacebridge open and we were on our way to find Unicron. We warped into another galaxy on the outer reaches of the solar system and began our search for Unicron. Right now though, we’re uncharted deep space and we docked near a planet that’s not on any of our maps. And you ask me, I don’t like this.
Ironhide: Knock, knock! Oh, Kicker!
Kicker: Huh?
Ironhide: Yo, space cadet! Ironhide to Kicker!
Kicker: Can it, Iron-brain. There’s something weird about that planet.
Ironhide: Uhh…
Kicker: No, really! I’m sensing — Energon.
Ironhide: Way out here?
Optimus: I didn’t expect to find Energon out here, Kicker. But you haven’t been wrong yet. How much Energon would you say there is?
Kicker: I’m not really sure…
Optimus: We’ll stop and investigate at once.
Kicker: But Optimus…
Optimus: Hmmm?
Kicker: What about our mission — Unicron? We have to stop him before it’s too late! That was our plan.
Optimus: Kicker, our mission is always two-fold; to keep Energon away from our enemies and to put an end to this madness once and for all. Inferno, prepare an away team!
Inferno: Yessir!
Megatron: It’s time to open your eyes, Demolishor. Open your eyes and see the new warrior that I’ve created. You are now invincible and with your new armour, you will be virtually unstoppable. Heh, heh, heh, heh… Demolishor, I have made you more powerful, bigger and badder than ever, now get me Energon and stop the Autobots!
Demolishor: Errrrr-aaaaaaahhh!
Megatron: It’s nice to see some enthusiasm around here for once.
Starscream: Hmm… I’m quite impressed, Megatron. Your powers are growing stronger every day.
Megatron: He is precisely as I had planned. So, Starscream, has that snivelling Scorponok run back to Alpha Q?
Starscream: I haven’t seen him since Rodimus rescued him, sir.
Megatron: He worries me. And if that fool even attempts to pull a fast one on me, I will crush him like a bug!
Tidal Wave: Megatron-sir! I have a message for you.
Megatron: Well, what?!
Tidal Wave: I have urgent news from Snow Cat. He reports Optimus Prime has discovered a new source of Energon in a distant galaxy.
Megatron: A timely discovery, yes. Hmm. Oh, Starscream!
Starscream: Yes?
Megatron: We’re going on a little mission, so have everyone pack their travel bags.
Optimus: Okay, Kicker. We’re relying on you to guide us toward the Energon.
Inferno: Yeah, and be as specific as you can. This storm is blinding our instruments.
Optimus: All right, team. Let’s focus. I want this to be a quick and efficient operation.
Kicker: The Energon should be dead ahead, Inferno. Keep going straight.
Inferno: I can’t! There’s a giant glacier smack dab infront of us.
Kicker: Man! I sometimes hate having this stupid sixth sense!
Misha: Yeah, right… You love all the attention.
Kicker: Thanks a lot. Do you really think I enjoy being stuck out here in the middle of nowhere, looking for stupid Energon?
Misha: Oh, you’re just a big baby.
Kicker: Hey, bug off, Misha! Ughh!
Misha: Ohh!
Kicker: What’s going on?!
Inferno: The glacier! It’s moving, Kicker!
Misha: I think I know why, Inferno. It’s kinda like the glaciers around the North Pole, Kicker. They’re constantly moving and shifting.
Inferno: Trying to steer a starship through a whiteout is like trying to thread a needle!
Optimus: Just do your best, Inferno. We’re all counting on you.
Optimus, Inferno, Kicker & Misha: Aaagghh!
Optimus: Status report!
Inferno: Ship’s wedged in tight, sir! We’re stuck between two giant ice walls and it won’t budge an inch!
Kicker: Misha, what’s that noise?
Misha: That, my friend, is the sound of the glaciers crushing our ship.
Hot Shot: You’re joking! Aw, we’re all gonna be ice cubes! And I hate the cold! We gotta do something and we gotta do something quick!
Kicker: Hhh… Hrgh.
Snow Cat: (Yodels twice.)
Strongarm: Ugh! It’s no use. The escape hatch is already frozen shut. It looks like we’re stuck in here!
Optimus: Inferno, fire up the reverse thrusters. Maybe we could back out of this jam. And if not, there’s a chance the heat from the engine will melt some of this ice.
Inferno: Yes, sir!
Optimus: Everyone else to the back of the ship. Hopefully that’s where we can evacuate from. Now move!
Strongarm: Yes, sir!
Optimus: Get going, men!
Ironhide / Jetfire / Inferno / Hot Shot: Yessir!
Kicker: Hey Optimus…
Optimus: What is it, Kicker?
Kicker: Optimus, is there anything that I can do?
Optimus: Good question. I’m not sure yet, but let’s get going.
[Commercial]
Kicker: Me and my crazy Energon powers. Between my hair, the Decepticons and Alpha Q —
Ironhide: — Aaah, would you quit your complaining, Kicker?
Kicker: Hey, we wouldn’t be in the mess if I just hadn’t said anything.
Ironhide: Like you knew we were gonna get stuck here.
Kicker: Aaaahh, forget it.
Optimus: All right, men. We don’t know what’s out there. Before we roll out, it’s time to — Optimus Prime, Powerlinx! Fire-1, combine! Copter-2, combine! Digger-3, combine! Submarine-4! Optimus Prime, Powerlinx complete! Jetfire, I want you to go with Kicker and Ironhide. Inferno and I will free the ship and join you as soon as we’re done.
Jetfire: Yessir!
Inferno: Yes, Optimus!
Optimus: Go find that Energon, Kicker.
Kicker: Yessir, Optimus! And — good luck with the ship. C’mon, Ironhide. Let’s roll.
Ironhide: You got it.
Optimus: Oh, and Jetfire… There’s just one other thing.
Jetfire: What is it, Optimus-sir?
Optimus: I want you to look out for Kicker, and report back at regular intervals. Looks pretty ugly out there.
Jetfire: 10-4.
Optimus: We’re a team, and we need to look out for eachother. Don’t ask me why, but something on this planet just isn’t right. Can I count on you, Jetfire?
Jetfire: Yes, sir.
Optimus: Give it all you’ve got, Inferno!
Inferno: Yessir, Optimus.
Q-4: Oh, Scorponok… Are you awake yet?
Scorponok: I’m wide awake.
Q-4: I am feeling a disturbance in the flow of Energon. The Autobots are up to something.
Scorponok: Do you think they’ve found Energon, Alpha Q?
Q-4: Or perhaps…
Scorponok: I shall investigate immediately!
Q-4: Wait, Scorponok… Calm down.
Scorponok: But Alpha Q, I must —
Q-4: My dear Scorponok, we might have lost our Terrorcons to the Decepticons, but I have a new army just waiting for my call.
Scorponok: Ahh. We’re going to release our new pets, are we?
Q-4: Yes… Behold, the new Terrorcons!
Snow Cat: (Yodels continuously.) Hahaha! Whoo-hahaha! Ohhh, this is so much fun! I love this! Haha!
Demolishor: The party doesn’t start without me, Snow Cat.
Snow Cat: Uh. Who are you?
Demolishor: Oh, come on. Don’t tell me you don’t recognize me! Heh, heh, heh!
Snow Cat: Hhh! Demolishor?!
Demolishor: The very same! Except with an extreme makeover!
Snow Cat: Wow, I barely recognized you. And to be honest, I thought you were a goner for sure when you hit that Energon tower.
Kicker: Here, Jetfire. I’m sure there’s an Energon vein right here.
Jetfire: Thatta boy, Kicker.
Strongarm: C’mon, men! Let’s get to work!
Kicker: We’ve gotta pick up the pace, guys. I’ve got a bad feeling down here.
Jetfire: Hey Kicker, just relax!
Kicker: What was that?
Jetfire: I said, take it easy.
Kicker: But I can’t!
Ironhide: I got to agree with Kicker. Think about it. If anyone tried to attack us down here, we’d have no place to run. We’d be trapped.
Jetfire: Oh, man! Not you too, Ironhide. Blah, blah, blah. You guys are boring!
Ironhide: “Blah, blah, blah” yourself, Jetfire.
Jetfire: You know the Decepticons can’t be everywhere, so just — relax! Owww! Ghggh!
Ironhide: No Decepticons, huh?!
Kicker: Man! We just can’t catch a break, can we?
Jetfire: Kicker! I want you to take cover behind me! And make it quick! Guuh!
Kicker: Jetfire! Hhh!
Kicker, Ironhide & Jetfire: Aaaaaahhh!
Demolishor: Ready or not, here we come!
Snow Cat: Ha, ha, ha! Hehehe! Peekaboo, I see you!
Demolishor: This reminds me of the old days.
Snow Cat: Heh, you remember the old days? I thought Megatron erased your memory when he rebuilt ya!
Demolishor: I thought Megatron erased your memory! Errrrggghhhh!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Don’t you just love blowing stuff up?!
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave. Tidal Wave.
Megatron: Oh, Prime, I do so hate to win this way. I mean, really, you getting caught like a little rat in a trap. But like they say, a victory is a victory. Hahahahaha!
Optimus: Guhh-guhhh! Inferno! Can you move the ship yet?
Inferno: Almost, Optimus!
Optimus: Hurry! We’re running out of time!
Misha: Kicker, Ironhide, this is Misha. Come in! Do you read me? Guys? Hello?!
Kicker: Jetfire’s down!
Misha: What?
Kicker: And we’re under attack — big time!
Misha: Oh no…
[Commercial]
Demolishor: Urghh! Argggh!
Strongarm Unit A: Aaah! Ughh!
Strongarm Unit B: Hwah!
Demolishor: Ha, ha, ha! I am invincible! No one can match the awesome power of the all-new Demolishor!
Snow Cat: Hey, you… have got a few wires crossed.
Demolishor: Whoa, do you feel it? Energon everywhere!
Snow Cat: Unbelievable!
Demolishor: Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh… It’s lunch time, my pets!
Kicker: I need help. Jetfire’s been hit. Jetfire’s been hit!
Jetfire: Hey, kid, do you have to be so dramatic?
Misha: So Jetfire’s okay then?
Jetfire: No problem, Misha.
Misha: Okay, get back here on the double. Megatron and his men are attacking the Miranda II and we’re about to lift off. You’ve got to hurry!
Kicker: We’ll give it a shot.
Ironhide: Hang on, Kicker! Jetfire’s sustained damage to his leg and upper body, and I got a feeling he might not be able to fly.
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha. So, Prime… We meet again.
Optimus: Errgghhh-aaahh! Yaaah!
Megatron: Yah! Sorry to inform you, but both you and the Energon are mine!
Hot Shot: Optimus!
Megatron: Oh, and your ship. Ugh! What?!
Inferno: Optimus, looks like we’re back in business. The ship’s up and running!
Optimus: Good work, Inferno! Hot Shot, keep my covered while I go out and round up everyone.
Hot Shot: Yessir! Transform!
Optimus: Transform!
Megatron: Leaving so soon?! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
Optimus: Urgghh… urgh!
Megatron: Ugh!
Starscream: Raurggh!
Megatron: He’s starting to annoy me. Oh! Ugh! Ugh!
Optimus: What are these things? And who sent them?
Ironhide: Ahh, I’m not liking it down here, guys!
Jetfire: You should go, Ironhide!
Ironhide: No, I’d never leave a comrade behind — ever!
Kicker: I’m with you, Ironhide. Let’s stick together.
Jetfire: Kicker, you’re not blaming yourself, are ya? When you’re part of a team, you’re in it for the good and the bad. Right now, we’re in a great big pile of bad.
Ironhide: …And getting worse by the second.
Jetfire: All right, gentlemen. Let’s find a solution. If we work together as a team, we’ll get outta here. We’re warriors. Danger is apart of the game. Call me crazy, Kicker, but until now you’ve been a loner. Now, you’re acting as a real part of the Autobot team! A fellow soldier against evil. Just quit yappin’ and get outta here! Are ya with me?!
Kicker: Yeah, whatever.
Jetfire: You know, a little more enthusiasm from our new teammate would be nice… Wake up, kid! Let’s get going! Now, Kicker!
Ironhide: Ugh… ugh!
Jetfire: We’re not accomplishing anything just sitting around here, are we?
Ironhide: No.
Jetfire: Ironhide, I’m banged up pretty good, so can I count on you for a little help?
Ironhide: Yeah.
Jetfire: Jetfire.
Ironhide: Ironhide!
Jetfire & Ironhide: Powerlinx!
Jetfire: Powerlinx Jetfire!
Jetfire: C’mon Kicker, let’s get outta here.
Kicker: Hhh. But I thought you couldn’t fly.
Jetfire: How about I give it a shot? You never know until you try, right? And I’m not the kinda Autobot who just sits around and worries about his own problems. Now hop on, would ya?
Kicker: Well, just don’t hurt yourself, all right?
Jetfire: Hey… Don’t worry about it. Urggh! Ughh… ugh… Aaah…
Demolishor: That’s it… Eat up that Energon.
Snow Cat: Hey, uh, Demolishor?
Demolishor: What’s up, Snow Cat?
Snow Cat: Did you just hear something.
Demolishor: No…
Snow Cat: There! Did you hear that?! Ooohhh-hoo… ohh… Megatron!
Megatron: Huh? What is going on here? Looks like Alpha Q’s up to his old tricks!
Starscream: Yahh… Oh, no, Megatron! They’re escaping!
Megatron: Who cares? Forget them, it’s the Energon we’re after.
Kicker: Hggh!
Jetfire: Ohhhh!
Kicker: Nice landing, big guy!
Jetfire: This place is swarming with the new kind of Terrorcon!
Kicker: They look like raptors.
Jetfire: Whoa… Dinobots… I thought they were extinct!
Kicker: Extinct?
Jetfire: Hey, what are you doing?
Kicker: I’m trying to get us outta here, that’s what. And I’m gonna use this Energon weapon to do it.
Misha: Kicker, come in.
Kicker: Huh? Misha! You’re safe!
Misha: We’ve got to hurry. Move it, and get onboard the ship.
Kicker: But Jetfire’s in bad shape and we’re surrounded by these new Terrorcons.
Misha: Stay put. I’ll get you out.
Kicker: Misha, wait!
Misha: Prepare to deploy the Energon grid. Got that, Strongarm?
Strongarm: I’m on it, Misha!
Kicker: Oh, this is great! Now what?
Jetfire: I’m not sure. But we should take cover.
Kicker: Oh, gimme a break!
Jetfire: Kicker, take cover!
Optimus: Nice job, Misha! Let’s finish this up, men! Time to Powerlinx!
Inferno: Inferno!
Hot Shot: Hot Shot!
Inferno & Hot Shot: Powerlinx!
Inferno: Powerlinx! Inferno! Uwah! Uwah! Uwah! Uwah!
Optimus: We’re gonna get you outta here, Jetfire. Hang on!
Jetfire: Right!
Optimus: Are you all right?
Kicker: Yeah. But what about the Energon? And… the Omnicons?!
Optimus: I’ve put out an evacuation order for the Omnicons. I value my soldiers more than the Energon.
Kicker: Are we just gonna leave the Energon? It could be enough for Megatron to finally revive Unicron!
Optimus: Let me worry about that. I could annihilate the Decepticons by deploying the Energon grid, but then I run the risk of destroying the entire universe because it’s loaded with raw Energon. I loathe Megatron, but I’m still responsible for everyone onboard my ship.
Kicker: So now what, Optimus?
Optimus: While Megatron is mining Energon, we’ll continue our journey toward Unicron.
Megatron: Aah-aaaaahh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave! Tidal Wave! Tidal Wave!
Megatron: Now the Energon belongs to me!
Optimus: Re-run that sequence again. Wait, are those bots Alpha Q’s minions?
Inferno: Well, if they are, then that means Alpha Q is after the Energon too, sir!
Optimus: And I believe Unicron is already split in two.
Kicker: What?!
Inferno: If that’s the case, then that would explain why we received two seperate signals back on Earth!
Misha: Very interesting. An entire planet splitting in two. I’ve heard of it before when I heard the Earth split from the moon back in science class.
Hot Shot: You’re saying it’s possible, Misha?
Misha: Well, I’d need evidence to prove it happened to Unicron.
Kicker: And I bet Alpha Q is one of those halves.
[Flashback]
Hot Shot: Sorry, Rodimus, but we have a mission to carry out. And it’s the stop Unicron from being revived at all costs. I don’t know what your ultimate plan is, but trust me, there’s no way in this world that I’ll ever let it happen. I hope I made myself clear.
Rodimus: Hmm?
Hot Shot: And you are my enemy.
[End Flashback]
Hot Shot: Huh? You think so?
Kicker: (VO) Yeah…
Optimus: This is getting complicated. But no matter how many pieces Unicron is in, we must crush them all.
Kicker: Well I’m glad Jetfire’s gonna be okay.
Ironhide: Ugh. That was close… But y’know, I think we did okay out there, Kicker. Only problem is, we didn’t get to grab any Energon.
Kicker: So what are you saying, Ironhide?
Ironhide: The more Energon Megatron gets, the more dangerous he is to the entire universe.
Kicker: It’s over! Now just drop it!
Ironhide: I know. But maybe we could’ve done something.
Kicker: I said drop it! It’s in the past!
Ironhide: Huh?
Kicker: We’ll get another chance at Megatron. And the rest of the Decepticons.
Ironhide: But…
Kicker: No “buts,” it’s our job.
Ironhide: There’s Alpha Q in one part of Unicron… Megatron in another part. New Terrorcons… And who knows what else, and you want me to relax?!
Kicker: Oh, don’t forget, we also lost a whole planet full of Energon, pal!
Ironhide: So, what are you saying?
Kicker: I’m saying we’re soldiers; a team. Be a soldier!
Ironhide: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You’re right! What am I is an Autobot soldier! What could be simpler than that?
Kicker: Uh well, maybe you, Ironhide!
Ironhide & Kicker: Hahahaha…
Ironhide: Hey! Are you calling me simple?!
Kicker: Yeah, what are you gonna do about it?!
Ironhide: Aww! I’m gonna make you sorry you were ever born!
Kicker: Oh, I’d like to see you try!
[End]
Episode Notes
-Kicker says they warped into a galaxy at the outer reaches of the solar system. He meant to say “universe,” because Snow Cat reports the planet is in a distant galaxy.
-Hot Shot says he hates the cold, yet he’s never had a vocal problem in the past with it (Armada episode “Soldier” and Energon episode “The New Cybertron City”).
-I’ve quit trying to spell out Snow Cat’s yodels. It was fun at first, but they’re always so random.
-Jetfire calls the Cruellock Terrorcons “Dinobots,” and says he thought they were extinct. I believe this is them taking the Japanese Superlink name Dinobots and adding a dinosaur relation to it. I guess it wouldn’t work as “Cruellocks… I thought they were extinct!” If you want to get picky, there are Dinobots (Grimlock and Swoop) in Energon, who are non-show characters. Basically, the line isn’t to be taken seriously and you shouldn’t spend too much time thinking about it, as I just have.
