Rodimus: Pile that debris over here and hurry! Time is not on our side, gentlemen!
Jetfire: I hate to question your tactics, Rodimus, but why are we on garbage detail? All this junk wouldn’t stop a fly, nevermind an incoming planet.
Rodimus: Maybe you’re right, but we didn’t come all the way up here to waste time questioning our orders. I’m just hoping this barrier will help slow down Cybertron before… it gets up to the space bridge!
Jetfire: Like that’ll happen.
Rodimus: Well Jetfire, that’s the plan. We just need to distract Galvatron’s attention long enough for Optimus and the others to make it to Central City.
Jetfire: Yeah, and if they don’t…
Rodimus: Optimus Prime has never let us down. …And I know this will be no exception.
[Transition]
Kicker: Aww, c’mon! What’s taking you guys so long?
Optimus, Ironhide & Hot Shot: Transform!
Hot Shot: Just relax, Kicker!
Omega Supreme: The Energon gas may not have effected you, but it has hindered our abilities.
Superion: Aww, and these underground routes are a complete maze!
Ironhide: It’ll take us days to get to Central City.
Optimus: We haven’t got days. We’ve gotta stick it out and keep going!
Ironhide: You’re right, Optimus.
Optimus: Hurry!
Superion: Constructicon and Bruticus Maximus followed us!
Optimus: We don’t have time to waste on them. Let’s roll!
Autobots: Transform!
Kicker: Ironhide, remind them who they’re dealing with!
Ironhide: Okay!
Constructicon: Oh no! Errghh…!
Kicker: Great. There’s more up ahead!
Optimus: Return fire!
Autobots: Transform!
Ironhide: I thought he said… not to shoot?
Optimus: Huh?
Wing Saber: Hold your fire! Everyone, hold your fire!
Optimus: Hang on, men! Cease fire!
Ironhide: Optimus…?
Optimus: They’re not the enemy.
Ironhide: Uhhh… Hey, it’s Wing Saber. What’s he doing here?
Wing Saber: Don’t fire, it’s Optimus and the rest of the Autobots!
Generic Autobot A: Optimus Prime…
Generic Autobot B: As in ‘the’ Optimus Prime! The one who defeated Unicron!
Generic Autobot C: He’s come to get us outta here!
Wing Saber: I’m so sorry, Optimus. I don’t know what I was thinking. I had no idea it was you!
Optimus: No need to apologize, Wing Saber. You’ve done a great job rounding up warriors and holding down the fort. Excellent leadership.
Wing Saber: Uh, leadership? Uh, huh-huh… Really? Uhh, thank you very much, sir.
Red: What the? Hhh! Get up here guys, it’s Optimus.
Blue: Well, what’s the racket? Why all the fuss?
Yellow: Hey, you’re right! It’s Optimus.
Red: The Autobots are here.
Blue: It must be severe.
Yellow: There’s nothing to fear with the Autobots here.
Red: You guys, don’t look now, but I think I see Ironhide!
Blue: Not him, your circuits are fried.
Yellow: Sure it’s him, it can’t be denied.
Red: Hoo-hoo, what a delight.
Blue: What a treat.
Yellow: This is really neat.
Ironhide: Huh? I have fans?
Kicker: You know them?
Ironhide: No… But I’ll get to know them.
Kicker: Oh, brother.
Ironhide: (Whispering) Don’t mind him.
Red: Whatever you say!
Blue: Yeah, it’s your call!
Yellow: What a wild day! And to think… we meet our hero, in the heat of battle.
Blue: There’s worse.
Red: Small universe.
Yellow: Ironhide, are you leading this team mission?
Blue: ‘Cause if you are…
Red: We’d be a nice addition!
All Three: It would be a dream to join your team!
Ironhide: Aaahahahahahaha! You guys crack me up! Hahahaha!
Kicker: Eghh!
All Three: Hey, you stop it! That’s not very nice!
Kicker: Who’s that?!
Ironhide: There’s no rest for a hero.
Wing Saber: Optimus, we’ve got an underground hideout. If you want, I can show you where it is. We’ll be safe there.
Kicker: Ughhh!
Optimus: Right! Let’s move!
[Transition]
Galvatron: (Snoring)
Sixshot: Agghh, where in the universe is Optimus hiding?!
Galvatron: Ahh, ahh. Hey, Sixshot…
Sixshot: Galvatron-sir!
Galvatron: You deceitful brat. So, you thought I was sleeping, and you start your own little project.
Sixshot: Eghh, no! Wrong side of the bed, or what?
Galvatron: Sorry, I missed that, Sixshot. Just like you missed the orders I gave to clear the spacebridge. I dose off for half a second and you’ve gone and locked your own little recon mission. Gahh, you’re just like that idiot brother of yours, Shockblast. He was never bright enough to do as he was told, so before you head down the same path, you better start learning from his mistakes. Unless, of course, you want to end up like him! Yes, I didn’t think so. Now forget about Optimus and get this planet through that warp gate pronto!
Sixshot: Yeah, right. You wish…
Galvatron: What did you say?
Sixshot: I said — ahh, as you wish, Galvatron… commander… sir…
[Transition]
Wing Saber: These are our co-ordinates. In this area here, in the region south of Central City is where we think Galvatron may have Dr. Jones and the others.
Optimus: Hmm… The Decepticon base.
Wing Saber: No doubt they’ll find a strong opposition guarding the area, but there’s no indication of the size of their force.
Red: Those Decepticons are worthless. There’s no way we’ll get caught! We’ve got Ironhide, and he’s the toughest Autobot ever.
Ironhide: Heh, well… I don’t know about ever, but… I’ve had my moments.
Red: We heard all about your big debut — having searched all of space to find Alpha Q.
Blue: And how you totally clocked Scorponok.
Yellow: Yeah, but the way you fought against Unicron… Ohh.
Ironhide: Heh, heh, heh…
All Three: There’s nothing to fear now that Ironhide’s here!
Ironhide: Heheh, I love you guys! But seriously, part of being a great hero means thinking of your teammates aswell. Kicker’s whole family is in real danger right now.
Red: Kicker’s family?!
Blue: In danger?!
Yellow: Uh oh!
Red: Well, what are we waiting for guys? Let’s go rescue them!
Blue: This is an issue we can’t ignore. They can’t wait anymore.
[Transition]
Dr. Jones: Eerrrgghhh! Urgghhh!
Rad: Dr. Jones… There’s gotta be an easier way to get to Primus from here, don’t you think?
Dr. Jones: I doubt it, Rad! This is the secret tunnel where Kicker found Primus when he was a kid!
Rad: Here. Let me take over.
Dr. Jones: Ahh. No arguments here. My back’s killing me.
Rad: Ergghhhh…!
Dr. Jones: It’s not gonna be easy to jack that thing up. Aaaahhh!
Rad: No! Dr. Jones! Hhh, hhh, aaaaahhh!
Dr. Jones: Hrghh, uggh… I told you Primus was down here…
Rad: Yup, you called it! Aaaah!
Dr. Jones: Ugghh.
Dr. Jones & Rad: Aaaaaahhhhhh….! Huh? Aaaaahhhh! Ugh!
Rad. Thanks for the pillowy-soft landing, Primus. You might wanna give us a little warning.
Dr. Jones: He can’t hear you. He’s sleeping.
Dr. Jones & Rad: Aaah!
Rad: Oh no! They’ve found us!
Demolishor: So this is where the party is.
Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Looks like you losers are caught again! Haha!
Demolishor: Look up there! That must be the Super Energon.
Snow Cat: What’s that, buddy? It’s not Super Energon? It’s what’s left of Cybertron’s regular supply?
Demolishor: Huh. Like you can even understand what that Terrorcon just said. Huh.
Snow Cat: I can. We have a connection.
Mirage: Baaahh, Starscream tricked us… Or maybe it’s some kind of scavenger hunt.
Demolishor & Snow Cat: Hahahaha!
Snow Cat: We found the first clue! We found the first clue! Oh man, I love riddles! (Yodels.)
Rad: What do we do, Dr. Jones?
Dr. Jones: We can’t let them nab the both of us, so I’ll play along with their scavenger hunt idea, while you try to wake up Primus.
Snow Cat: Hey, what are you humans whispering about? I bet you know where the next clue is! Take us to it!
Dr. Jones: As you wish.
Rad: Dr. Jones!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Okay, Mirage. You stay here and guard!
Mirage: Me? Why me?!
Snow Cat: Because you’re the smartest.
Mirage: I’m smart enough to know you’re full of lies!
Snow Cat: Shhh… The kid might drop some more clues.
Mirage: Now I’m the babysitter too?
Snow Cat: Don’t worry, Mirage. As soon as we get all the clues, we’ll be back for you.
Mirage: Promise?
Snow Cat: Yeah, sure.
Mirage: You promise, right? You’re not just saying that. Thanks a lot, kid!
Rad: Don’t look at me. You think I wanna hang out with you? Er, not that you don’t… look like fun.
[Transition]
Galvatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! That’s the barrier? There’s no way! That hep of junk couldn’t stop a fly!
Sixshot: As you wish, Galvatron-sir. Preparing the fire up the Energon grid.
Galvatron: Lovely, now blast that trash to pieces. Not that it’s much of an obstacle, but I want those Autobots to know who’s in charge!
Rodimus: Okay, here they come.
Jetfire: Defense ready?
Cliffjumper & Landmine: Yessir!
[Transition]
Optimus: All soldiers gather ’round for briefing! Wing Saber and Superion Maximus, you’ll leave the hideout with me. We’ll distract the Decepticons. Kicker, while we’re keeping the enemy busy, you, Omega Supreme and Hot Shot will head for Central City. You’ve got to rescue your family. Ironhide, I want you to act as an operative to lead the Omnicons in a rescue mission for Bulkhead and the others. You got that, soldier?
Ironhide: I get my own team? My very — own — team?! Uhh but, Optimus-sir, do you really think I’m ready to be a leader?
Optimus: I know you can do this, Ironhide.
Red: Way to go, big guy!
Blue: Let’s do it!
Yellow: Hit after hit, till they submit!
Red: We’re Team Ironhide!
Blue & Yellow: And we’re supreme!
All Three: Team Ironhide, we’re supreme! Team Ironhide, we’re supreme!
Optimus: Ironhide…
Ironhide: Yeah?
Optimus: Your value as a warrior isn’t something you decide on your own. Infact, even my confidence as commander sometimes waivers. But I am still commander, and I’m only successful because I have a superb team to support me. And now you have these Omnicons, who trust you. You have what it takes to lead this team, Ironhide.
Red: That’s right, big guy!
Blue: We’re here for you.
Yellow: We’ll stand true!
Red: We’re ready!
Blue: We’re steady!
Yellow: Let’s rock!
Hot Shot: If you guys are gonna do your best, then we will too!
Kicker: Great attitude, guys. My family will thank you.
Red: What did you say?
Blue: Will you lead our team?
Yellow: Build our esteem?
Ironhide: I’ll do it! Autobots, away!
Kicker: That’s Ironhide for ya!
All Three: Ehh!
Kicker: Egh…
Ironhide: It’s okay, guys. Kicker’s my partner.
Red: Whoa, Ironhide, you’re so tough!
Blue: And buff!
Yellow: And so rugged, heh.
Red: And that’s why you’re the best.
Blue: Better than the rest!
Yellow: And you’ve got zest, heh!
Ironhide: Yeah.
Hot Shot: Hahahahaha!
Kicker: Hahahahaha!
Ironhide: Hahahahaha!
Omega: Impressive show of leadership, Optimus.
Optimus: Huh?
Omega: You instilled confidence in him. Now he’ll be able to go into action without questioning his abilities.
Team Ironhide, Kicker & Hot Shot: Team Ironhide is supreme! You can’t stop the Autobots!
Optimus: Okay, everyone! It’s go time. Let’s do this right.
[Transition]
Bruticus: Well…?
Scorponok: They didn’t come this way.
Bruticus: Then where are they, Scorponok?
Optimus: Right here!
Scorponok: Optimus!
Optimus: Ahhh. Wing Saber!
Wing Saber: Right!
Optimus: Optimus Prime!
Wing Saber: Wing Saber.
Optimus & Wing Saber: Powerlinx!
Optimus: Powerlinx complete!
Constructicon: Fire!
Scorponok: Transform!
Optimus: Huh?
Scorponok: Gotcha!
[Transition]
Sixshot: I found ’em. I found ’em. I found ’em, sir. I found Optimus.
Galvatron: Errrghhh, aaah! You continue to disobey me! You stupid tin can! Didn’t you learn anything from our little heart-to-heart?!
Sixshot: I did, sir. But this is our chance to bring Optimus down to his knees.
Galvatron: I told you to clear a path to the spacebridge. Now get over there and aim the Energon grid that way, now!
Sixshot: Eh, but, sir!
Galvatron: Of course I want to bring down, Optimus, you idiot! That’s been my cause since I’ve came into being! However, right now my orders to you are to get this planet through that gate! Where’s Starscream?! I’ll send him out to take care of Optimus! He’ll obey me. I know he will! If I didn’t have to stay in here and keep an eye on you, I could deal with Optimus myself!
Sixshot: Ugggghh… Urgghh…!
[Transition]
Optimus: Not too fast, Superion Maximus. We’ve got to keep those guys on our tails until Ironhide and Kicker are at a safe distance! Aaahh!
Superion: Optimus! Are you okay? Huh?
Optimus: Aghh… Ugghh! Huh?!
Starscream: Arggghhh!
Optimus: Arggghh…!
Starscream: Optimus Prime, you don’t have what it takes to defeat the new-and-improved me! Yahhh! Eraaah! Erghh. Rauggghh…!
Optimus: He is stronger…
Starscream: Raugh… It’s not gonna be that easy, Optimus! Hahahahahahaha!
[Transition]
Strongarm: Things are intense out here. Optimus and Starscream are fully engaged in battle and Scorponok’s gone after Superion Maximus. They’re keeping the Decepticons busy in the air!
Omega: Okay, Kicker. That’s our cue.
Kicker: Gotcha! We are busting into Central City, and we will free Cybertron!
Autobots: Aww yeah! Woohoo!
[Transition]
Ironhide: This is the real deal, fellas. Stay with me.
All Three: Action time! Action time! Action time! Action time! …Huh? Aaaah…! Aaaaaahhhh!
Ironhide: Get a grip. Optimus and the others are acting as decoys for us, remember? Those Decepticons don’t even know we’re down here. Chill out.
Red: Ironhide… I’ve never been in a real battle…
Blue: Me neither…
Yellow: My nerves are rattled!
Ironhide: I understand. Sometimes, even I get scared or confused during a big battle too. It’s natural.
Red: You do? Then how do you always look so pro?
Blue: How do you do it?
Yellow: ‘Cause if you are nervous, it never shows!
Ironhide: I fake it! That’s right, boys, that’s my motto! Fake it till ya make it! Heh.
Red: You what?!
Blue & Yellow: He what?!
Ironhide: I’m a winner. Now you try!
Red: I’m good.
Blue: I’m great…
Yellow: I’m the best…?
Ironhide: That’s right. If I keep telling myself that over and over, I get so courageous that I can confront anything at all, no matter how scary it is.
Red: I’m great!
Blue: I’m greater!
Yellow: I’m the greatest!
Strongarm: Oh, brother. As if one Ironhide’s not enough.
Skyblast: Yeah, no kiddin’.
Red: I’m swell!
Blue: I’m cool! Heheha…
Yellow: I’m a rebel!
Red: I rule!
Blue: I’m neat!
Yellow: Actually, I feel like I can do anything and not be beat!
All Three: Who’s team are we?
Red: All together!
Skyblast & Strongarm: Huh?! Us?! There’s no way!
All Three: Team Ironhide! We’re supreme! We’re Team Ironhide! C’mon, let’s go! Aaaahhhh!
Red: C’mon! You can dish it, but you can’t take it! Haha! Nooo, nooo! Autobots, we’re Team Ironhide!
Blue: Woohoo!
Constructicon: What’s going on down there?
All Three: Aaaaahhhh! Don’t mess with the best, don’t fool with the cool! Don’t mess with the best, don’t fool with the cool! Don’t mess with the best!
Constructicon: Ahh…!
Kicker: According to Wing Saber, there should be a tunnel up ahead leading straight to Central City.
Omega: A station… I’ve got an idea.
Decepticon A: Fire at will, boys!
Omega: Transform! If there is a station up ahead, then this way’s faster.
Hot Shot: Omega Supreme! Wait up!
Generic Decepticons: Aaahh!
Kicker: Sweet move, Omega!
Omega: Hurry!
Hot Shot: All aboard that’s goin’ aboard!
Kicker: Ridin’ in style!
Hot Shot: No free ride for you guys.
Generic Decepticons: Aaahh!
Omega: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…
Kicker: Full speed ahead, Omega Train! Woohoo!
Bruticus: Oh, no you don’t! Ahhh, ahh, ahh, ah, ahhhhhhaaah!
[Transition]
Omnicons: Yeaaahh!
Omnicon A: The Omega Train and Team Ironhide have made it out of the city.
[Transition]
Starscream: Errraahhhh!
Optimus: Ugh! That’s it! Our job is done here, Superion! Now for part B. We need to meet up with Kicker.
Superion: Yessir!
Scorponok: Get back here! Cowards!
Sixshot: Ahh! There he is. I found Optimus again. You creep. Eggh!
Galvatron: You idiot!
Optimus: Oh no!
Optimus & Superion: Aaaaaahhhhh!
Galvatron: You moron! Are you disobeying me again?! All you had to do is push this one little button, you complete imbecile!
Sixshot: Egh…
Optimus & Superion: Aaarrrrgghhhh!
Optimus: Ughhh… What was that?
Rodimus: Huh?!
Autobots: Eggghhhhh!
Rodimus: Hang on, men! You can do it! Don’t give up!
Galvatron: Hahahaha! Take a look, Sixshot. We’re almost there. The planet will soon be blasting through space! Hahahahahaha!
Jetfire: Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
Cliffjumper: Aaahhh…! Huh?
Autobots: Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!
Galvatron: Hahahaha! Hahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahaha! It’s happening! We’re finally on our way! Hahahaha, hahahaha!
Q-1: Planet Cybertron has passed through the spacebridge?! And Galvatron has totally lost his marbles!
Q-2: What could he have up his sleeve this time?! What will the future bring for us?!
Q-1: Yes, and Optimus and his men managed to stave off the Decepticons?
Q-2: Who knows?! Ahhh-ahh-ahh-ah…
Q-3: Will Kicker be able to reach his family in time to rescue them?
Q-2: Oh, and what if Ironhide’s emblazoned ego gets in the way of the mission?
Q-1: So many questions!
Q-3: But I’m afraid we’re all out of time…
Q-2: That’s a wrap.
Qs: Tune in next time!

Episode Notes
-I wouldn’t be surprised if I ever mixed up the speaker on the Ironhide lackey lines.
