Kicker: Uhh? Uhh? It’s an Energon beam. Hhh! Hhh! Hhh! Hhh! Hhh! Hhh! Hhh! Hhh. There’s Energon out here? How did I get here? What is this place? That mountain… I’ve seen it before! (Waking up) Hhh! What a weird dream! Hmmm… Okay, let’s see. Where is it? Bingo! It must be… an Energon point!
[Commercial]
Kicker: Yee-hoo! Good. At least I’m in the right place.
Strongarm: Have ya found anything out there yet, Kicker?
Kicker: No. I’ll have to expand my search range.
Strongarm: Then it might be a good idea to move our camp closer to this location. Ohh, we’re a long way from the others.
Kicker: Don’t worry. I know there’s Energon out here.
Strongarm: Okay, keep lookin’. I’ll meet ya here in an hour.
Kicker: You don’t have to leave, do ya? Just tell the others to meet up with us. They have anything else to do, anyway.
Strongarm: Uhhh — I can’t do that. I’d feel bad if I made them haul all my heavy tools all the way up here!
Kicker: Heh, heh… Heheh… Those Omnicons are real team players.
Ironhide: Aawww, why did he volunteer to come with us? He doesn’t even bother to help out at all.
Hot Shot: What’s that?
Ironhide: Uh, nothing.
Demolishor: (VO) If I didn’t see it for myself, I never would’ve believed it. Uhh. Was it real?
Demolishor: If that was Megatron’s sword, does that mean that he’s come back to life? And if he’s out there, then why doesn’t he show himself?
Cyclonus: Haha! Energon delivery!
Tidal Wave: Megatron will be pleased.
Cyclonus: Well, I guess we better see if we can find his meanness. Hello! Megatron, where are you?! It’s Cyclonus, your number one Decepticon at your service! Ugh! Where is he? So Tidal Wave, you really think he’s here?
Tidal Wave: Yes.
Cyclonus: Well, where then?! Hmm?! M-M-Megatron! Hahahahahahahaha! Boy, the boss is really in bad shape! Megatron! It’s me, Cyclonus! Wake up, please!
Tidal Wave: Megatron!
Cyclonus: Talk to me, your evilness! I’m here for ya! Woohoo?! Anybody in there?
Tidal Wave: Stop that!
Cyclonus: Aaaaahhh! Aw, how come he won’t wake up?! Huh?!
Tidal Wave: Hmm. I don’t know.
Cyclonus: Hey, were you lying when you said Megatron could be revived?
Scorponok: You mean you don’t believe me?! Watch yourself. Remember, I have Megatron’s sword.
Cyclonus: Hey, would ya take it easy? I just wanna help out the boss, that’s all!
Tidal Wave: Megatron…
Scorponok: Then be quiet. We will ask Alpha Q. He will know what we should do.
Cyclonus: Alpha Q?! I wanna meet ‘im!
Tidal Wave: Me too.
Scorponok: You want to meet him?!
Cyclonus: Yeah, we must’ve delivered enough Energon.
Scorponok: Get more.
Cyclonus: What?!
Scorponok: We’ll need a lot more Energon.
Q-3: Yes, bring us more. Bring us more!
Scorponok: I didn’t know you were listening, Alpha Q.
Cyclonus: Where is he?!
Tidal Wave: Alpha Q?
Q-2: Listen, you Decepticons. There is not enough Energon to wake Megatron. Not enough!
Q-1: Bring it to us, and then we begin the revival!
Q-3: What are you just standing there for? You know what you must do. Now go get the Energon!
Cyclonus: Uh, ruh-right.
Tidal Wave: Yes. Must revive Megatron.
Rad: Optimus, the upgrades on the Grand Force are now complete so I’ll send it to you right now.
Optimus: Good. You finished it.
Dr. Jones: Well, if we had left them in ruins, it would make things difficult for you, I think.
Rad: And with all the improvements, I’m sure it will be even better than it was before.
Optimus: Thank you. I’m eager to test them out.
Dr. Jones: So how are things going over there, Optimus?
Optimus: Well, right now Kicker is out searching for a new Energon point.
Dr. Jones: When you find it, make sure you send me the exact co-ordinates right away.
Optimus: Yes, I’ll do that, Dr. Jones.
Rad: Okay, Optimus. I’m sending the Grand Force through the spacebridge right now. Get ready.
Optimus: Optimus Prime, super mode. Powerlinx. Fire-1, combine! Copter-2, combine! Digger-3, combine! Submarine-4, combine! Optimus Prime, super mode! Feels much smoother now. I like it. Is everything under control?
Inferno: Yes. We’re fine.
Optimus: Let me know when Hot Shot reports in. As soon as we have the co-ordinates of the Energon point, send them to Dr. Jones.
Jetfire: Do you think that’s a good idea, sir?
Optimus: Yes, why not?
Jetfire: It’s just that our transmission could be intercepted by the enemy — or even worse, it could be used against us by a member of the recon team.
Optimus: What do you mean?
Jetfire: I’m talking about Demolishor, sir.
Optimus: That’s enough, Jetfire.
Jetfire: But!
Optimus: I said that’s enough! He once was a Decepticon, but now he’s apart of our team.
Jetfire: Yessir…
Ironhide: 1 – 2 – 3 – 4! 1 – 2 – 3 – 4! Hey, why don’t you help carry some stuff?
Demolishor: No, I’m not some kind of pack animal. That’s a job for rookies like you!
Ironhide: Uhh, what was that? Who’re you calling a rookie, pal?
Demolishor: You heard me!
Ironhide: Errrrgh! Take that back!
Demolishor: Go ahead and try! If you got the guts.
Ironhide: Yeah?
Demolishor: Listen, you just better watch yourself, rookie, or else.
Ironhide: Can it, Decepticon! I don’t trust you one bit!
Demolishor: Oh yeah?!
Ironhide: Erggghh…
Demolishor: Ugggghhh…
Hot Shot: Hey, you two — cut it out! Ironhide, apologize to Demolishor.
Ironhide: Why should I have to apologize? He’s the one who started it!
Hot Shot: What is it exactly that you don’t trust about Demolishor?
Ironhide: Well, he’s a Decepticon. Everybody knows you can’t trust them.
Hot Shot: Hey, watch it! With that kinda attitude, no wonder Demolishor doesn’t wanna stay with us.
Ironhide: Ughhh!
Hot Shot: Demolishor, I understand that it’s difficult for you as a Decepticon. But remember, you’re part of our team now.
Demolishor: Huh. I’m not taking orders from you. No way!
Hot Shot: Hhh.
Demolishor: Autobots… They think they’re so smart.
Kicker: Huh? Oh no. A fog is rolling in. If this keeps up, I’m not gonna be able to find that Energon point today.
Hot Shot: Kicker, can you hear me?
Kicker: Yeah.
Hot Shot: It’s starting to snow here. How ’bout we all head back to camp till it blows over?
Kicker: All right. I’m on my way back right now. No! It’s starting to snow here too. Oh, great. I can’t see anything! I gotta get outta this. I hope this is the right way out. Huh? Uggh… Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
Hot Shot: Kicker, what’s happened? Kicker, come in. Come in!
Strongarm: Sounds like he’s in trouble.
Ironhide: He needs out help, Hot Shot.
Hot Shot: All right, let’s move out, in two teams. Stay in contact.
Demolishor: I’ll go alone. The last thing I need is someone looking over my shoulder.
Hot Shot: No. Team up with Ironhide. You two need to get better acquainted anyway.
Demolishor: Ohhhh… That rookie will just get in my way!
Ironhide: I guess I’d better go because I don’t want you to get lost.
Hot Shot: Be careful. That’s an order.
Ironhide: Yessir, understood.
Strongarm: Let’s go!
Hot Shot: No. Someone should be here if Kicker makes it back. I want you to sit tight for now. And keep your eyes open, Strongarm.
Strongarm: Yessir!
[Flashback]
Kicker: Heh… Heh… Heheheh.
Sally: Awwwhhh… Awhhhh…
Kicker: Dad, so when do we get to Earth?
Dr. Jones: Not long, son.
Kicker: Yeah! All right! We’ll be home soon!
Dr. Jones: No, we have to make one stop before we get home.
Kicker: But why?
Dr. Jones: You know why. We need Energon. We have to find some, before we can get back home.
Kicker: Awww, I don’t wanna look for Energon. It’s no fun anymore! Mmm, mmm. Whoaaa… uhhh… Uhh… Huh?
Dr. Jones: Way to go, Kicker! Hahahaha!
Kicker: Aww, dad, that was just way too easy! Hehehe.
Dr. Jones: We’ll have to stay a few weeks until the Omnicons finish mining the Energon.
Kicker: Boy, they sure are hard workers. Uhh, I don’t like it here, Dad. I’m scared.
Dr. Jones: I’m here, son. Don’t you worry.
[End Flashback]
Kicker: Uhh… uhh. Dad…? Uhh… Hhh. Why was I dreaming of Dad?! Owww. Uhh… Man, that was quite a fall I took. I’m at the bottom of a ravine! Oh man!
[Commercial]
Hot Shot: Kicker, where are you?! Answer me if you can hear me, Kicker!
Kicker: You don’t have to yell so loud! I can hear you, Hot Shot.
Hot Shot: Kicker! Are you okay?
Kicker: Yeah, I just banged up my shoulder a bit. Hey, Grindor… Are you all right?
Hot Shot: What happened to you, anyway?
Kicker: I fell into a ravine.
Hot Shot: Do you know where you are? I’ll come and get you.
Kicker: I’m not sure. But I do know that I’m pretty far below the snowline.
Hot Shot: Did you all hear that? We’re gonna go down into the ravine. Meet me there.
Ironhide: Okay!
Demolishor: Hhh. Oh, great.
Ironhide: Decepticon… Huh.
Inferno: I’m sensing an enemy warp signal, sir.
Optimus: Good work, Inferno. Where’s the enemy headed?
Inferno: Plains City. No, wait, they’re headed straight for Kicker!
Optimus: What?! Jetfire, alert Hot Shot right away!
Jetfire: Hot Shot, there’s an enemy force headed your way!
Hot Shot: There is?
Jetfire: Yeah, so be on the look-out.
Cyclonus: Hahahahahahaha! How’s the weather down there, Hot Shot?! Kinda a stormy day for a walk, isn’t it?!
Hot Shot: Cyclonus!
Cyclonus: Okay, where’s the Energon?!
Hot Shot: What?!
Tidal Wave: Energon — we want it!
Hot Shot: Tidal Wave! There’s not a single ounce of Energon here! And even if there was, you wouldn’t get it from me!
Cyclonus: Then I guess I’ll just have to ask Demolishor! Hahaha!
Hot Shot: Guhh! Oh no! What’s happening?! Grgghh, grghh… aaaaahhhh…
Cyclonus: Where’d he go? Tidal Wave, let’s go find Demolishor. Yaaa-hoooooo! Hahaha!
Ironhide: Huh?
Demolishor: Huh?
Divebomb Unit: Attaaaaaack!
Ironhide: Terrorcons! Hghh! Hggh… Hgghh… Hggghhhh!
Demolishor: Aaaargggh!
Kicker: Aaaahh… aaaaahh! Man! This is to steep to get out of! What’s going on? Ughh! Aaaaahh! An avalanche?! Hey, that’s my way outta here! C’mon, Grindor. You can do it. Awww, man. Doesn’t look like you have enough power to make it outta here, buddy. Uhh? I can’t believe my rotten luck. It’s right behind this rock. To think that I’m right next to an Energon point and can’t do anything about it. Could this day get any worse?!
Demolishor: Hrggghh! Hrgh!
Hot Shot: Transform! Everyone all right here?
Demolishor: Oh yeah.
Ironhide: What about Kicker?
Hot Shot: I sent Strongarm to the ravine to help him get outta there, Ironhide.
Ironhide: So you know where he is?
Hot Shot: Yeah, and it’s a real deep one. Now make sure these guys don’t get any closer.
Ironhide: Roger!
Demolishor: Hrggghhh!
Cyclonus: Aha! There you are, Demolishor!
Tidal Wave: Where’s the Energon?
Demolishor: Cy-cyclonus! Tidal Wave!
Ironhide: You traitor!
Demolishor: Who — me?
Cyclonus: Hey Demolishor, haven’t you figured it out yet? Your place isn’t on their side, it’s with us!
Demolishor: Why should I join up with you two again? What’s in it for me?
Hot Shot: Hrgh! Arggh! Demolishor, you’re our friend! You know you can trust us!
Demolishor: I’m your friend?
Cyclonus: Sheesh, don’t be such a sap. He’s only saying that.
Strongarm: Kicker! Hang on, I’m comin’ for ya!
Cyclonus: Oh, look. There’s an Omnicon. That’s where the Energon must be. Hahahaha!
Hot Shot: Oh no you don’t!
Cyclonus: Hey, watch it, would ya? Owww! That was a close one!
Kicker: Ehhh… Hey! Down here! Down here!
Strongarm: Kicker! Are you all right?
Kicker: Uhh… I’m managing. Hey, what the matter? It doesn’t reach?
Strongarm: I don’t have any more pipe. Can ya grab it?
Kicker: I guess I’ll have to. Just a little more… C’mon, Grindor. Yah! Okay! Got it. Pull us up! Man, am I glad to be outta there, Strongarm. Okay, now go ahead and transmit the co-ordinates.
Strongarm: All right… Although I think we should’ve done a test ore.
Kicker: Eggh… We don’t have time for that right now. And it looks like we got company!
Optimus: Optimus Prime, transform!
Inferno: Inferno, transform!
Optimus: Optimus Prime, super mode! Powerlinx! Optimus Prime, super mode! Anyone injured?
Kicker: No, but we did send the data for the Energon point just now.
Optimus: Good. Then we’d better get outta here.
Kicker: What? I thought we were gonna defend the Energon point.
Hot Shot: Optimus, what’s going on?
Optimus: We have to withdraw for the time being.
Battle Ravage Unit: Get the Energon!
Battle Ravage Unit: Faster, dig faster!
Cyclonus: Hehehehe! Hey, look, they’re running away! And they left all that Energon behind!
Rad: Doctor, I’ve linked the spacebridge with the new Energon point and we’re ready to initiate whenever you are.
Dr. Jones: Jetfire, are you ready on that end?
Jetfire: We’re all set here. The recon team was able to withdraw to the safety zone without any problems.
Dr. Jones: Good. I’ve got a present for all of them. Now, get ready. You understand?
Battle Ravage Unit: Up there, what is it?
Cyclonus: What is that thing?!
Optimus: I knew Dr. Jones would come through.
Kicker: That’s from my dad?!
Ironhide: I don’t believe it… It’s Cybertron City!
Strongarm: It’s gigantic!
Divebomb Unit: Fly, Terrorcons! Retreat!
Ironhide: Man! It’s incredible!
Hot Shot: It sure is!
Kicker: Boy, my dad sure knows how to put on a show.
Cyclonus: I don’t know what happened, but I don’t like it.
Scorponok: Curse them. They’ve sealed a new Energon point.
Cyclonus: You’re a little late.
Scorponok: Did you get any Energon?
Cyclonus: Well what do you think?!
Scorponok: Alpha Q gave you a direct order… Do it!
Optimus: Ahhh… It’s good to be home.
Signal Flare: That’s it, Scorponok. Hold it right there.
Skyblast: Hey, what are you doing?
Signal Flare: Ah, just a little scanning for cloning purposes.
Skyblast: Ha, ha, ha. That’s pretty unusual for an Omnicon.
Signal Flare: Hey Skyblast, I’m just planning for the future, that’s all.
Cyclonus: Oh, it’s no use! We’re just getting hit up here.
Scorponok: Then we have no choice. We must withdraw.
Demolishor: (VO) He can’t be alive, because if he were, he would’ve been out on that front line for sure. At least, that’s the Megatron that I remember.
Kicker: (VO) My dad really did come through for all of us today.
Kicker: (In flashback) I’m scared!
Kicker: (VO) And when I think back to when I was a kid, and all those Energon exploration missions we did together, he was always looking out for me then, too. I thought all he cared about was his research, but he’s still protecting me. Even now…
