Transformers: Energon
“Galvatron!” – Episode 42
Written by Voicebox Productions

Q-2: Planet Cybertron has been captured by the Decepticons!
Q-1: Yes, those devious Decepticons who attacked with some sort of numbing gas…
Q-3: Now Optimus and the Autobots won’t be able to get near the planet.
Qs: What shall we do, Optimus Prime?!
Jetfire: Okay guys, here’s the plan! Because Kicker’s human and Arcee’s an Omnibot, Energon won’t affect either of them. So, they head down to Cybertron to try and shut off the gas grid, which will make the planet safe for the rest of us. At that point, we hit the Decepticons with everything we’ve got!
Kicker: Yeah, but how do I turn off the gas?
Jetfire: Don’t know, Kicker. Somehow, you and Arcee will have to find a way to cut off the Super Energon flowing through those pipelines. Otherwise, Cybertron is off-limits.
Optimus: Interesting…
Rodimus: Sounds like it’s worth a try, Optimus.
Optimus: Mmm. Well, Kicker?
Kicker: Hhh? Yeah, I’m in…
Ironhide: Me too! We can do this!
Jetfire: But Ironhide, you can’t go down there with ‘im.
Ironhide: I know that, Jetfire. I’m just trying to pump Kicker up.
Hot Shot: I wonder about you.
Superion: Ha, ha, ha, ha! Hahahaha! You guys really crack me up.
Hot Shot: Hey, don’t be such a stranger, Superion. Come on over!
Superion: Uh — I — uh… Oh, nevermind. Just ignore me.
Skyblast: Excuse us, we don’t know anything about Cybertron!
Strongarm: And this mission sounds dangerous.
Arcee: What are you whining about?
Strongarm & Skyblast: Huh?
Arcee: You’re both soldiers and you’ll do as you’re told! Is that understood?
Strongarm: Yes, sir! — I mean ma’am.
Optimus: The time is now, men. This is our best chance to take back planet Cybertron. So let’s make sure we’re prepared to attack!
Autobots: Yessir!
[Transition]
Sally: Hhhh… Mnnn. Hhh!
Dr. Jones: That’s it, Sally. Don’t even breathe. All right, it’s gone.
Sally: Sorry, Dad, I almost blew it.
Dr. Jones: Aaahh… Sweetheart! That smells delicious.
Miranda: What have you found out?
Rad: Galvatron and a few Terrorcons have over-run the control room.
Sally: How are we supposed to radio Kicker, or the Autobots?
Rad: Well, it seems Galvatron won’t let us near the transmitter. That means we have to find a way to get to Primus, and fast.
Dr. Jones: Not on an empty stomach, Rad, my boy.
Rad: Or do you think that it’s possible Optimus has already been in contact with him, Dr. Jones?
Sally: We’ll find out soon enough, I guess, but I really am hungry.
Miranda: Yes, I agree. You can’t think straight when you’re hungry. All right. Shall we all dig in?
Galvatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Well, gentlemen, now I can officially declare planet Cybertron an Autobot-free zone. Ha, ha, ha…
Starscream: Forgive me, but shouldn’t we err on the side of caution, Galvatron-sir?
Galvatron: Mm. Are you suggesting that we haven’t erradicated this place of all of the Autobots?
Starscream: To be brutally honest, sir, that’s precisely what I am suggesting.
Galvatron: Then where are they hiding, Starscream?
Starscream: Two possible areas; the southern hemisphere and an underground city that we detected when we arrived on this planet.
Galvatron: Hah…
Sixshot: I’ll take care of any Autobot strike.
Galvatron: Huh?
Sixshot: It’ll be a sinch, especially with this Super Energon. This stuff’s off the charts.
Galvatron: My… aren’t we the bold one?
Sixshot: I’ve earned the name “Sixshot.”
Snow Cat: Well, it looks like someone is trying to cozy up to Galvatron. Can you believe it?
Demolishor: Snivelling smartypants.
Mirage: He’ll learn.
Snow Cat: And don’t forget about Starscream. Haven’t you guys noticed how much time he’s been spending hanging around Galvatron lately?
Mirage: Now that you mention it.
Galvatron: So what are the benefits of this new Super Energon?
Sixshot: It can propel this planet.
Galvatron: Anywhere I desire?
Sixshot: Anywhere.
Galvatron: Well… Heh… I’ve got it!
Snow Cat: Oh, great. Here we go again.
Demolishor: Yeah. We’ll end up the bait.
Mirage: Not good.
Galvatron: Aim for that planet.
Starscream: Which planet, Galvatron?
Galvatron: The planet our friend Alpha Q fled to, you imbe-cile. Ah, we’re wasting time with asinine questions. We have a planet to destroy.
Starscream: ‘Sir!
Mirage: But Galvatron, there is no sun for that planet anymore. It will die on its own.
Galvatron: Silence!
Mirage, Snow Cat & Demolishor: Ahh!
Galvatron: The last thing I need now is insubordination! Is that understood? Sixshot, set Cybertron to the proper co-ordinates.
Rad: Huh?!
Sally: What’s wrong, Rad? You haven’t even taken a bite!
Dr. Jones: And here I thought you’d be happy to have a homecooked meal, Rad! Even if my wife made it! Get it?! Hahahahahaha!
Miranda: Not funny, dear.
Rad: Heheh… heheh… heheh…
Sally: I know you’re worried, Rad, but…
Rad: Huh?
Sally: Opeeeennn!
Rad, Dr. Jones, Miranda & Sally: Ughh!
Miranda: Sally!
Dr. Jones: It’s too dangerous, Rad! We’ve got to move!
Rad: Right!
Sally: It just doesn’t end, does it?
Scorponok: What’s going on? What does Galvatron think he’s doing?
Generic Autobots: Aaaahhh!
Wing Saber: Everyone, don’t panic! Obviously, Galvatron is attempting to rattle us, but hang in there! I promise you, Optimus is on his way!
Kicker: Would someone please explain what just happened?
Strongarm: It might sound weird, but Cybertron’s moving.
Kicker: Hhh?
Strongarm: Can’t you feel it, Kicker?
Kicker: It can’t be!
Optimus: Jetfire, status report.
Jetfire: Hhh… You’re not gonna believe this, Optimus, but somehow, planet Cybertron is starting to move forward.
Optimus: Impossible!
Jetfire: And, it’s heading straight for the spacebridge that leads to Alpha Q!
Optimus: But why?
Rodimus: We need a defensive maneuver, sir!
Optimus: I’m thinking. With all that Energon, Cybertron’s still off-limits. For now, we sit tight.
Galvatron: Hahahahahaha! Will wonders never cease! We’re moving! Planet Cybertron is actually moving! I’m impressed, Sixshot. Hahahaha!
Sixshot: Whaa…? It’s the Autobot ship. Not to worry. It won’t be for long after I’m done with it.
Kicker: Hh. They’re attacking from the starboard side!
Optimus: Take evasive action.
Downshift: Yessir!
Omnicons: Aaaahh!
Kicker: Aaaaaaahhhhhh!
Strongarm: Kickeeeerrr!
Superion: I’ll save ‘im!
Strongarm: Hurry!
Downshift: Huh.
Optimus: Downshift, good job with the controls.
Downshift: Nothing to it, sir.
Kicker: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! Hhh. Thanks, uhh…
Superion: Superion Maximus.
Kicker: Right… Superion Maximus.
Superion: Just doin’ my job.
Galvatron: Status report!
Starscream: Hmm?
Sixshot: I’ve located the Autobot ship, sir.
Galvatron: Idiot!
Sixshot: Huh? Aaahh-uggh! What’d ya do that for? I didn’t do anything! Hghh.
Galvatron: Don’t you ever do anything without my permission! Mrghhh.
Sixshot: Eghh… But, Galvatron-sir!
Galvatron: I give the orders around here. Pull a stunt like that again and I won’t be so nice.
Sixshot: Aaah! Ugghh! Ugghh.
Galvatron: Now get up! We have a little mission to attend to. And make it snappy, soldier.
Starscream: So, what’s the plan, Galvatron?
Galvatron: It’s simple. I’ve decided to destroy Optimus Prime with my bare hands.
Snow Cat: Now maybe you’ll listen.
Demolishor: Heheh, serves you right for suckin’ up! Heheh.
Mirage: Yeah!
Sixshot: Oh… (Weeps.)
Constructicon: What’s up, Galvatron?
Galvatron: Gentlemen, we’re going into attack mode. Shadowhawk, come here!
Snow Cat: (Yodels before he gets an infusion of Energon.)
Demolishor: Huhh-uh.
Mirage: Huhh.
Galvatron: Let’s move out! Transform!
Starscream, Demolishor, Snow Cat & Mirage: Transform!
Demolishor: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Galvatron: Silence! This time you’ll have nowhere to hide, Optimus Prime.
[Transition]
Hot Shot: Incoming Decepticons, sir!
Optimus: Galvatron?
Hot Shot: Yes, sir. And it looks like they’re closing in fast.
Landmine: Should I activate the Energon grid, Optimus-sir?
Optimus: No, Landmine. At this range, the grid won’t be effective. We need to go top-side and gear up for an offensive. Downshift, scan for a landing spot. We have to prepare for our guests.
Downshift: Yes, sir. I’ll park this baby before ya know it.
Ironhide: And this time… no fast moves.
Superion: They’re here! Kicker, top-side, stat!
Kicker: Uhh.
Superion: It’s Superion Maximus!
Kicker: Yeah, I know…
Rodimus: Yo, Hot Shot! It’s time to combine!
Hot Shot: You got it!
Rodimus: Rodimus!
Hot Shot: Hot Shot!
Rodimus & Hot Shot: Powerlinx!
Rodimus: Powerlinx Rodimus!
Ironhide: Hey, Jetfire.
Jetfire: All right, Ironhide, let’s do it.
Ironhide: Ironhide!
Jetfire: Jetfire!
Ironhide & Jetfire: Powerlinx!
Ironhide: Powerlinx Ironhide!
Omega Supreme: Optimus… Maybe you should stay back.
Optimus: No, Omega Supreme. I have a job to do. We must lure Galvatron here. And then it’s up to me to crush ‘im!
Galvatron: Steady, men. We’re almost there. Starscream, fire!
Starscream: Yessir!
Rodimus: Look!
Starscream: Null Beam Cannon!
Ironhide: What?!
Starscream: Transform!
Ironhide: Ergghh…!
Snow Cat & Demolishor: Transform!
Snow Cat: Surprise! Aheh!
Snow Cat & Demolishor: Ohhh! Aaahh! Ugghh!
Mirage: Mirage to the rescue!
Starscream: Hmm!
Rodimus: I’m enjoying this!
Starscream: What?! Ugh-uggghhh! Why you…
Rodimus: A day without excerise is like a day without sunshine!
[Transition]
Galvatron: Transform! What’s wrong, Prime? Aren’t you going to combine like the time you attempted to destroy Unicron? Well, aren’t you?
Optimus: This is between you and me, Galvatron.
Galvatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha! Still got a sense of humour! Aaaaahh —
Galvatron & Optimus: Ugh! Rrrrggghhhh…
Constructicon: We’ve gotta help Galvatron!
Bruticus: Right.
Constructicon & Bruticus: Huh?
Superion: You’re not going anywhere, boys!
Constructicon: Wanna bet?
Bruticus: Yeah, bring it! Hggh! Hggghh!
Constructicon: Bruticus Maximus!
Bruticus: Arghh! Aaaaahhh! You…
Omega Supreme: Now it’s even. Superion Maximus, this one’s mine.
Superion: Ha, ha, ha! You’re here just in time!
Constructicon: Errrrrrgghhh!
Superion: Agh!
Constructicon: Aaaah!
Downshift: Yeah, all right. Keep it up, boys. I just need a little more time to land this puppy. Are the backup troops ready?
Arcee: Just give us the word, Downshift!
Kicker: I’m itchin’ for action.
Sixshot: “Don’t do anything without my permission…” Huh. How dare he… And I’m just sittin’ here with a clear shot of the Autobot ship.
Galvatron: Hrrrrrrrrrr….!
Galvatron & Optimus: Erruggghh!
Optimus: Aah!
Galvatron: Ohhhhhhh! Ugh! Ohh…
Mirage: Mirage, transform! Flying missile attack.
Omnicons: Whaaaa! Uhh!
Strongarm: Aaaaaahhh!
Kicker: I know you’re getting antsy, Strongarm, but…
Sixshot: I can’t wait anymore…
Optimus & Galvatron: Aaah!
Galvatron: Ugh! What’s going on?!
Optimus: The ship’s been hit.
Omnicons: Whoaaaaa! Ohhh! Aaaaaaahhhhh!
Strongarm: Hold on!
Omnicons: Whooooooooaaaaa!
Kicker: Where’s it comin’ from?
Downshift: Ugh… Aw, man. I’ve lost all hydraulic pressure. And my manual override’s fried. Energon gas! Take evasive action! Take evasive action!
Rodimus: Wait…! Ugh… Arrrgh…
Galvatron: Sixshot! Are you responsible for this?! Answer me!
Sixshot: Heh, heh, heh… Yes… And proud of it, Galvatron.
Galvatron: You fool, you stole my thunder!
Starscream: It’s going to blow, sir!
Galvatron: Eghh! The gas will take care of you, Prime. Transform!
Starscream: Transform!
Optimus: Yaggghh… Everyone, retreat! Evacuate the Miranda II!
Ironhide: But we’ve gotta defend the ship, sir!
Optimus: It’s too late for that. Now get moving!
Rodimus: Let’s go, Ironhide!
Ironhide: Yaah! Right behind ya!
Snow Cat: Ah! I say we scram too! Whoa-hoa-haaa-hoa!
Ironhide: Hey… Has anyone seen Optimus?
Optimus: Egghhaahh… Muusst… hang on… Ugh…
Downshift: Kicker, don’t jump ship yet. Stay with me. Copy?
Kicker: Ya think ya can still fly this thing?
Optimus: Downshift, I’ll take over. You go!
Downshift: Sorry, sir, but I’ve got a job to do.
Optimus: Okay. I’m counting on you.
Arcee: It’s getting too dangerous, Kicker. I say we bail.
Kicker: Relax, Arcee. This ship was named after my mom. Trust me, it can take more than ya think.
Downshift: C’mon… c’mon… Bingo! That’s it! The Decepticons weakest point is on planet Earth! Kicker, you’re good to go.
Kicker: That’s our cue, Arcee.
Arcee: Move out!
Downshift: We’re depending on you, Kicker.
Optimus: Good job, Downshift.
Downshift: No sweat, sir.
Optimus: The Miranda II has one last job to carry out. All engines to full throttle and push this ship to the limit!
Ironhide: What’s he doing?
Omega Supreme: Let’s find out. Transform!
Superion: Good plan!
Ironhide: Well, hey!
Superion: Let us handle it! You stay put.
Downshift: That’s it, Optimus-sir! I’m totally maxed out! Huh?
Omega Supreme: Optimus, get on!
Optimus: Ugghh!
Downshift: Waaah!
Optimus: Thanks, Omega Supreme.
Downshift: Yeah… What he said.
Superion: Hmm.
Downshift: Aren’t you — Superion Maximus?
Superion: Hahahahaha… Yeah, the one and only.
Optimus: You served us well, Miranda II. Goodbye, my friend.
Kicker: Keep going, Arcee! You can make it.
Arcee: We’re coming in steep, Kicker. So ya better hang on!
Kicker: How come you’re not deploying your field?!
Arcee: I can’t use it with a passenger on board. Here we go!
Kicker: Ah! Look out! We’re gonna nail that tower! Ugghh…
Arcee: Can the yapping and let me concentrate!
Kicker: Ughhh… Hhh… Hghhh… Ugh… ugh… Aaaaaaahhhhh! Urgh… ugh.
Arcee: Safe and sound.
Kicker: So, where exactly are we? Hhh? The Miranda II!
[Transition]
Galvatron: Sixshot!
Sixshot: Huh?
Galvatron: You fool! Hgghh-ugh! You’ll pay! Argghh!
Sixshot: Ugghhh! Hggh, ugh… Hhhh… ughh…
Galvatron: Don’t you dare move!
Snow Cat: Heheheha! Someone’s in trouble!
Sixshot: You wait… One day you’ll need me… And when that day comes, Galvatron, you can beg, you can grovel, but I won’t be there. Ugh!
Mirage: That’s gotta hurt.
Demolishor: Ha, ha, ha… Serves the little whiner right.
Galvatron: Might I suggest you watch out. Optimus isn’t your only enemy.
Sixshot: Erggghhhhhh… Rgghhhhh…
[Transition]
Arcee: You must be very proud of your mother’s namesake, Kicker.
Kicker: Yeah.
Arcee: Now, it’s like a beacon of strength.
Kicker: It sure is. Hopefully it’ll last forever. And many generations will get to see it.
[End]
Episode Notes
-Jetfire calls Arcee an “Omnibot.”
-“Downshift” is actually Cliffjumper with Downshift’s voice. Ironically, this is his biggest episode and they mixed both his voice and name up.
-Strongarm isn’t pitched when he says “And this mission sounds dangerous.” Then again when he says Cybertron’s moving, then immediately after, he’s pitched again. This feels like a game.
-Galvatron calls the Divebomb units by “Shadowhawk” as if they are one entity.
-What does Cliffshiftcomber mean by “The Decepticons’ weakest point is on planet Earth!”?
