Q-4: Kicker, how long will it take for the Energon tower to be completed?
Kicker: It won’t be much longer now.
Q-2: Please hurry! The Jungle Planet is such an easy target!
Q-1: It’s the Energon that we must protect!
Kicker: Well, you know the tower’s not being built there. It’s being built on Cybertron and it’ll be delivered by the Autobots.
Q-3: It’s coming from Cybertron?
Q-2: Is your father sending it to us, Kicker?
Kicker: Yes, he is.
Q-1: That Megatron is such a nuisance.
Kicker: You can say that again.
Q-4: We must protect our planets.
Kicker: The whole universe needs protection from Megatron, so just sit tight.
Q-1: Yes, of course.
Ironhide: It’s up to them now. I sure hope they make it in time.
Kicker: Don’t worry, Ironhide. They will.
Ironhide: Yeah, there shouldn’t be any problems with Hot Shot and Cliffjumper at the controls.
Downshift: Hot Shot, all systems appear to be normal, so we should be able to get to Cybertron right on schedule.
Hot Shot: Excellent.
Optimus: All right, gather ’round, everyone. Here’s our plan of attack. There’s no time to waste, so I want Strongarm and Arcee to oversee the work on the Energon tower sites.
Strongarm & Arcee: Yes, sir!
Optimus: We have to protect Iron and Jungle Planet, so we’ll have to divide into two teams.
Q-4: Kicker, it’s too late.
Kicker: Huh?
Q-4: The Energon on Iron Planet… has been stolen!
Kicker: What?!
Optimus: What is it, Kicker?
Kicker: Ugghh!
Kicker: (VO) The Decepticons beat us again!
Q-4: Don’t do this, Scorponok! Please! You’ll destroy the Iron Planet if you take all its Energon! They’ll be nothing left of it!
Scorponok: Silence! I only take my orders from Megatron now.
Q-1: Traitor! Scorponok has become our enemy!
Q-2: Eeeee! It’s all over! The Energon is gone! The Iron Planet is no more.
Q-3: Curse the Decepticons. They have destroyed another one of our planets!
Kicker: Optimus, the Iron Planet is disintegrating.
Optimus: What?
Kicker: The Energon has been stolen and the planet is about to implode.
Inferno: No!
Optimus: All right, then. No matter what it takes, we must protect Jungle Planet. Do you understand?
Autobots: Yes, sir!
Scorponok: Success, Megatron. All the Energon from Iron Planet is yours.
Megatron: Good, but we must continue. There are still many more planets for us to plunder, Scorponok. And I say we go after the one Optimus is on.
Scorponok: Yes, sir!
Starscream: Should I prepare a Terrorcon attack fleet, Megatron?
Megatron: No, not just yet. Let’s wait until the Autobots have mined all the Energon first, then we’ll go in for the attack.
Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Ha, hahahaha! Now you’re talking! Let them do all the work and we get all the rewards!
Demolishor: Yeah, yeah! That’s why Megatron’s the boss!
Megatron: Right, and don’t you forget it. Starscream, I want you to keep an eye on the Autobots.
Starscream: Yessir!
Omnicons: Argghh! Ugghh!
Prowl: If we’re gonna put an Energon tower here, we’re gonna have to dig pretty deep.
Landmine: You’ve got that right. Urgh! Hrrggh!
Arcee: Hey you two, get outta the way!
Prowl: Huh?
Arcee: You’d better move it, or lose it!
Landmine: Wrong place, wrong time. Transform!
Prowl: Transform!
Arcee: Come on, what’s taking you so long? Put your back into it!
Jetfire: This site’ll be ready in no time.
Ironhide: Hey Signal Flare, is it true you can get Energon just catching some rays?
Signal Flare: You betcha. Watch! See? Got some. Neat, huh?
Ironhide: Yeah, but I’m pretty sure we’re gonna need a lot more than that if we wanna get the Energon tower up and running.
Signal Flare: Don’t worry about that. This site is loaded with Energon. There’s probably enough here to fire up two towers if we want.
Kicker: How’s it going, Inferno? Are ya feeling okay?
Inferno: Not too bad. I’m starting to feel better, Kicker.
Kicker: Well, don’t push yourself too hard.
Inferno: Yeah-ha, I won’t.
Kicker: Hmm… What’s Ironhide doing? Eggh.
Ironhide: Hey! Ouch! That really hurt! What’d ya do that for?! Ahh!
Kicker: You were spacing out. C’mon, we gotta go!
Ironhide: Owww! Where to?
Kicker: We need to find out if there are any more Energon stockpiles around here. Let’s go.
Optimus: If you find anything, report back immediately.
Ironhide: Yessir! You can count on us! Transform!
Bulkhead: Okay, boys. Take the warp gate to Cybertron and get the Energon tower. We don’t have much time, so let’s move!
Hot Shot & Cliffjumper: Yessir!
Bulkhead: Look out! Incoming! It’s a fleet of Terrorcons!
Rodimus: Get out of here, quick! I’ll stop them! Hggh!
Hot Shot: Let’s go!
Cliffjumper: Okay!
Bulkhead: Come and get it! Hahahaha!
Cliffjumper: Bulkhead, get inside!
Bulkhead: Are you kidding? Listen, I’ve got more battle experience than you’ll ever have! And another thing, I don’t need a young punk like you —
Cliffjumper: Oh no!
Bulkhead: Ahh, that was a lucky shot! Now you’re gonna pay for that! Yaah! Yeah, I still got it! Ahee-hee-hee-hee.
Rodimus: Look! The enemy is following them.
Bulkhead: Ahh, don’t worry. They know what to do. I’m sure they can take care of themselves. In the mean time, I think we should finish off the rest of those flying fiends before they get us.
Hot Shot: Move it, Cliffjumper! We’ve got some Terrorcons on our tail.
Cliffjumper: If we don’t shake them soon, Hot Shot, they’re gonna make it to Cybertron and find out where the Energon towers are being built.
Hot Shot: Then we’ve got no choice but to destroy them all. Man, there’s way too many of them. It’s time to Powerlinx!
Cliffjumper: Let’s do it! Cliffjumper!
Hot Shot: Hot Shot!
Cliffjumper & Hot Shot: Powerlinx!
Cliffjumper: Powerlinx Cliffjumper! There’s only three left. We got ’em! Disengage.
Hot Shot: Transform!
Cliffjumper: Transform! Hurry, let’s get to the Cybertron warp gate. There it is.
Hot Shot: Let’s roll.
Megatron: What?! Ugh, how could you get those Autobots get away?
Starscream: Sorry, sir. They had too much firepower and we were outmanned!
Megatron: Err, errrgghhh!
Ironhide: Y’know, Kicker, I think you’ve really changed.
Kicker: What are you talking about?
Ironhide: Well, you never seemed to care about others, but now you’re different. I know you’ve been worried about Inferno.
Kicker: Hey! He’s a friend of mine. I just wanna make sure he’s okay.
Ironhide: Well, that’s what I mean. When I first met you, you only cared about yourself. Now you’ve grown up. You’re even keeping an eye out for Alpha Q.
Kicker: Alpha Q’s been working hard to nuture this planet, so I figure the least I can do is look out for him.
Ironhide: Well, once the Energon tower gets here from Cybertron, we’ll all be able to relax.
Kicker: Yeah, I guess you’re right.
Hot Shot: Ah, there’s no place like home. Transform! Hot Shot!
Cliffjumper: Transform! Cliffjumper! Let’s get to work.
Hot Shot: I’m with ya, buddy!
Dr. Jones: Phewww… Rad, are ya sure about that?
Rad: Optimus and everyone else are all safe.
Dr. Jones: Glad to hear it. Boy, that’s really great news.
Sally: Did ya hear, Mom? They’re all okay!
Miranda: Yeah, what a relief, Sally.
Sally: Yeah, now we don’t have to worry about them anymore.
Dr. Jones: What?! You wanna build an Energon grid?!
Cliffjumper: That’s right, sir. We need to protect Jungle Planet. We’ll need it right away.
Dr. Jones: Hahahahahahahahaha! Ahah! Those towers certainly are useful! So if ya need them… then just help yourself to them!
Rad: Thanks. I know Optimus really appreciates all the hard work you put into those towers.
Dr. Jones: Good, and that’s a very nice to thing to say. I’m just glad he doesn’t think I’m some kinda mad scientist. Hahahahaha!
Cliffjumper: Ya coulda fooled me.
Hot Shot: Hmm? Did you just say something?
Cliffjumper: Uhh, no…
Kicker: Something’s up. Stop, Ironhide!
Ironhide: Huh? What is it, Kicker?
Kicker: Just zip it for a minute! There’s something out there…
Ironhide: Can you sense the Energon?
Kicker: No, it’s the enemy.
Ironhide: What?! The enemy?!
Kicker: Hurry! We need to get back quickly! C’mon! Move it, move it!
Ironhide: Okay, okay, man! Take it easy!
Kicker: The planet could be under attack. We’ve got to warn the others!
Bulkhead: Those Terrorcons don’t know when to give up. How do you think we should handle this, Rodimus?
Rodimus: We’ll have to get them as far away from the gate as we can.
Downshift: I’m on it, Rodimus.
Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Haaa!
Demolishor: Huhh! You can’t run away from us! We’re gonna blast ya to pieces!
Downshift: Awww, no! Look, Rodimus. There’s another fleet right infront of us!
Rodimus: We’re trapped.
Scorponok: Now we’ve got them! Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh…
[Commercial]
Skyblast: The planet’s surrounded! We’ll need reinforcements!
Jetfire: I’ll go get ’em! Transform! Sit tight till I get back!
Optimus: You four are gonna have to hold down the fort.
Autobots: Yessir!
Optimus: Wing Saber, you and I are going to Powerlinx.
Wing Saber: Yes, sir!
Optimus: Optimus Prime!
Wing Saber: Wing Saber!
Optimus & Wing Saber: Powerlinx!
Optimus: Ughh, urgghh! Powerlinx complete!
Landmine: All right, let’s get to our stations. Ironhide, what’s the status of the enemy’s position?
Ironhide: They’re in the middle of a battle with Rodimus, but I’m sure it won’t be long before they make there way down here, so we’d better get ready.
Q-4: Kicker, how can you protect the planet without the Energon tower?
Kicker: Heh, oh, we’ll find a way.
Bulkhead: Hehehe! Hahahaha!
Megatron: Destroy their ship! Do it, Shockblast! Take them down!
Shockblast: It’ll be my pleasure. Get out of my way!
Demolishor & Snow Cat: Oooh!
Shockblast: This’ll be a blast! Yaaah! Hahahaha!
Rodimus: Huh? Move it!
Downshift: Aww, man! They blew up our ship!
Bulkhead: Ahh, I think it’s time for me to teach them a lesson they won’t forget! Bombs away! Hrggh!
Shockblast: Aaah! Aaarrrgggh!
Starscream: Let’s go get ’em. Fire away!
Optimus: Drop your weapon. This is a battle you can’t win.
Jetfire: You heard him! Give it up!
Starscream: Look out!
Optimus: Is everyone all right here?
Rodimus: Hmm, yeah. We’re fine now.
Megatron: Hmmm. Go on, get them, Scorponok. Then give me all their Energon!
Scorponok: Yes, sir!
Optimus: That Energon is ours, not yours, Megatron!
Megatron: We’ll see about that! Heh, heh, heh, heh! Megatron, Hyper mode! Optimus, I’m gonna make sure this is the last time you’ll ever tell me what to do!
Optimus: Huhh!
Megatron: Errrr-aaah!
Optimus: Yaaah!
Bulkhead: Heh, heh, heh. Since Optimus is busy, I’d better go protect the Energon. Transform!
Ironhide: Oh no! The Terrorcons’ll be here any minute now.
Kicker: Here they come! Attack!
Landmine: Blast ’em, Prowl! Blast ’em!
Arcee: That’s it! Give ’em all you got!
Scorponok: Terrorcons, attack!
Ironhide: Keep firing!
Kicker: Inferno, you stay with the ship. Everyone else, let’s get this party started!
Inferno: Good luck, Autobots!
Ironhide, Prowl & Landmine: Let’s go!
Kicker: Eraaagh!
Bulkhead: Heheheheheheheheheh… Bulkhead, Brute mode! Transform! Bulkhead, Brute mode! Whoopsie! Heh!
Ironhide: Thanks, Bulkhead.
Kicker: Where’s Optimus?
Bulkhead: Eh, he’s got his hands full right now. The Decepticons are putting up a fight, so it’s up to us to protect the Energon.
Kicker: Then let’s do it!
Bulkhead: Come and get it! Hahahahaha!
Scorponok: Now’s my chance!
Ironhide: Scorponok’s trying to attack the ship!
Prowl: Let’s get ‘im!
Scorponok: Two against one? I like those odds.
Kicker: Ironhide, catch!
Downshift: Hhh… Huh?
Shockblast: Gotcha!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Demolishor: (Grunts.)
Downshift: Huh? Ugghh!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Demolishor: (Grunts.)
Snow Cat & Demolishor: Huh?
Jetfire: Downshift, let’s link up! Transform!
Downshift: Sounds good to me! Downshift!
Jetfire: Jetfire!
Downshift & Jetfire: Powerlinx!
Downshift: Powerlinx Downshift!
Snow Cat: Let’s fly! (Yodels.)
Optimus: You’ll never get the Energon, Megatron!
Megatron: Ha! By now, the Energon is already — mine!
Scorponok: You’re mine!
Ironhide & Prowl: Yaaaah…
Ironhide: Yaah! Hggh! Ugh!
Scorponok: Hahahahaha…
Prowl: Hey, you all right?!
Ironhide: Yeah… Sure.
Scorponok: Aaaahhh!
Prowl: Don’t even try it! Get outta here, Ironhide!
Ironhide: Thanks, buddy!
Prowl: Aah! Aaaaahhh, aaaaahh, aaaaahh!
Bulkhead: Hahahahahahaha! I’ll do this all day if I have to!
Arcee: Hold your ground! Don’t give up!
Omnicons: Yeah!
Arcee: Uggh!
Snow Cat: Those rotten Autobots!
Downshift: What?! Ugh!
Shockblast: Ha, they don’t stand a chance against me.
Optimus: Call off your troops, Megatron!
Megatron: Hahahahahaha! I don’t think so!
Skyblast: Aggghh!
Rodimus: Hang in there, Skyblast!
Optimus: Rodimus!
Megatron: It’s all over, Prime!
Optimus: Urgh, ah… That was clo — aaah!
Megatron: Hahahahahaha! Hmm? What is that thing?
Hot Shot: Optimus, can you hear me? We’ve got it! We’re on our way back.
Optimus: Is that you, Hot Shot?!
Hot Shot: I brought a present for ya! All the way from Cybertron.
Optimus: Well done. Everyone, stop fighting and help guide the Energon tower to Jungle Planet. And keep Megatron at bay!
Rodimus: Let’s do it!
Megatron: What’s this? They can’t be giving up yet. Optimus must be up to something.
[Commercial]
Hot Shot: Optimus, if you can hold off the Decepticons, I should be able to bring the tower in safely.
Optimus: Okay, Hot Shot. We’ll keep your path clear.
Kicker: Oh no! They found the Energon!
Misha: Everyone! Return to the ship immediately.
Kicker: What’s up, Misha?
Misha: Hot Shot is back from Cybertron. Everyone needs to get away from the tower site right away.
Kicker: You got it! The Energon tower is coming! Everyone, get back to the ship right away! Landmine, Prowl, Ironhide! If you don’t want to get squashed, you’d better get it in gear!
Ironhide: Okay!
Scorponok: Cowards! Don’t run away from me!
Kicker: Aw, man… I really hope they make it in time.
Optimus: Keep an eye out for any sign of the Decepticons. We can’t afford to lose this tower.
Megatron: Get them!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Cliffjumper: They’re on to us!
Hot Shot: Okay, let’s do this!
Cliffjumper: You got it!
Snow Cat: They’re shooting at us!
Megatron: If you don’t destroy that tower, I’ll give you something to be afraid of!
Scorponok: Huh? Something’s not right! Oh no! Get outta here! Retreat! Retreeeat!
Kicker: All right! They made it! Here comes the tower.
Ironhide: Yeah, just in time.
Optimus: Hang on! We’re almost there!
Scorponok: You’re not getting me!
Megatron: Arrrrrggggghhhh….! Optimus Prime… Retreeeeeaaatt!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Q-4: Thanks to you and the Autobots, only a small amount of Energon was taken.
Q-3: The Jungle Planet is safe and we will continue to develop it.
Q-2: We have an Energon tower now!
Kicker: You sure do, and you can thank my old man for that.
Q-1: You mean your father — Dr. Jones?!
Kicker: I do. He was a really big help.
Misha: I know this is a different planet, but it kinda feels like we’re on Earth, doesn’t it?
Kicker: Yeah.
Misha: I hope that Energon tower holds out, because without it, we’d be in a lot of trouble.
Kicker: Heheh, just relax, Misha. We’re safe here. The Autobots will take care of us. So why don’t you just think of this place as your home away from home?
Misha: Thanks, Kicker. I feel better already.

Episode Notes
-Strongarm’s voice isn’t pitched. Not such a big deal, because he has only one line and it’s with Arcee.
-I’m unsure who says the line “Look out! Incoming! It’s a fleet of Terrorcons!”, but I think it’s Bulkhead.
