Inferno: (VO) For the past few months, everyone under Optimus Prime’s command has been on edge because our bases have been attacked by Terrorcons. They were after our Energon. The Terrorcons would swoop down, steal as much Energon as they could, the disappear. My job was to be a first line of defense against them. My name is Inferno. And I’m stationed on an outpost and we just had word we were about to be attacked. But this time, we were ready.
Inferno: Now. Open fire! Now! Keep on ’em. Keep ’em from touching down!
Q-1: What is the status on our enemy?
Q-2: Our enemy? Which one do you mean? Which enemy? Ohhh, that’s rich! Hehehe! That’s rich! But you have to admit, it is a good question. Hahahaha!
Jetfire: That’s it, you wimps with wings, gimme your best shot! Uh oh, come on! You can do better than that… Hehe! They’re all yours, boys!
Q-3: Hmmm… They appear to have improved their defensive capabilities.
Q-1: Wasn’t this to be easy?
Q-2: Not when they have so much artillery it’s not!
Ironhide: I just gotta keep one step ahead of these freaks. Transform! That’s it. Keep a-comin’. Let’s get this party started. Come and get me! Little more… Right this way, boys!
Q-1: Our enemies are stopping our quest for the Energon at every turn!
Q-2: But what can we do about it?
Ironhide: Ha, ha, ha, ha! That was fun!
Q-1: How dare they get in the way…
Q-3: And those that do must be eliminated.
Q-2: Yes!
Qs: Eliminate them!

Kicker: Ohh, man, Mika! That is — that is totally incredible!
Misha: What is, Kicker?
Kicker: You know, that idea you had. Using Energon instead of batteries to power our weapons.
Misha: Well, to be honest, that really wasn’t my intention. I was actually researching the use of Energon for peaceful purposes when it happened.
Kicker: Aww, come on. Gimme a break, would ya? Our weapons are used for peaceful purposes. They protect us from those Terrorcons who’re trying to steal the Energon away from us.
Misha: Hhh!
Kicker: My dad was working on it too… But I guess you beat him to the punch, huh? He wanted to power every city with Energon because it was safe and clean.
Misha: I learned everything I know from your father, Kicker. He’s kind of like my mentor.
Kicker: Huh?
Misha: Dr. Jones is the most brilliant research scientist I know, and you should be proud of him. He told me once that he’d never develop Energon unless it was for peaceful purposes.
Kicker: Ahh, come on. Gimme a break.
Misha: Wh-what is it, Kicker? Hh-hhh!
Kicker: I can sense them coming.
Cyclonus: Aaahahahahaha! Yahooo!
Kicker: ‘Kay, Mika! I’m counting on you!
Misha: Right. And you just be careful out there, Kicker.
Kicker: Yeah, sure.
Misha: I’m serious. You know how much I worry about you.
Kicker: Uhhh. Hhhehhhh… Aw, gee, I really didn’t think you really cared — ughhh! Reality check, Kicker. We’ve got company.
Optimus: Argghh! Transform! Yaaahh! Argghhh! Launch Fire-1! Launch Copter-2! Launch Submarine-4! Launch Digger-3! Skyblast, we’re under attack! I need you, stat!
Skyblast: Can’t Optimus see I’m a little busy?
Misha: Hhhh! Hhhh! Hhhh!
Tech #1: Hey! Where’ve you been?!
Tech #2: Hot date?
Misha: Open all artillery bays.
Tech #2: Can’t. Skyblast and Strongarm are still outside working on ’em.
Misha: Well, we don’t have time to wait, guys. Open up bays! Start firing!
Omnicon A: Okay, we’re done. Now let’s get outta here.
Omnicon B: Right behind ya.
Tech #2: Secondary weapons ready to fire as soon as Energon levels are maxed out.
Optimus: Yah! Optimus Prime, Powerlinx! Fire-1, combine! Copter-2, combine! Digger-3, combine! Submarine-4! Optimus Prime, super mode! You’ve gone far enough, droids.
Omnicon C: Hurry up, Kicker! The gate’s about to open!
Kicker: Do we have enough Energon power yet?
Omnicon C: Huh?
Kicker: Nevermind. You cover me.
Optimus: Yah!
Kicker: Optimus, I’m right behind you. And don’t worry, I got this one!
Optimus: Good job, Kicker.
Kicker: Hey, it’s just doing my job, boss! Guhh!
Optimus: That kid. Huh? Ughh! Yah! Hmm… I wonder why Kicker left me here alone to defend myself.
Kicker: Yeeee-haw! All right, doggy! Sniff that Energon out for me!
Omnicon C: Huh? What the heck’s goin’ on here?!
Skyblast: Huh?
Kicker: Quit drilling, guys, and let the Terrorcon find the Energon for us!
Strongarm: Well, I’ll be. Why didn’t I think of that? Thatta boy… Nice Terrorcon… Wow, this makes my job a whole lot easier.
Kicker: Good news, guys! We’ve struck Energon.
Tech #1: Good work, Kicker.
Tech #1: All systems are go.
Misha: Secondary weapon bay set.
Scorponok: It seems like our friends down there are having a little energy crisis.
Tidal Wave: We will win.
Scorponok: Tidal Wave, it’s time to attack.
Cyclonus: Good aim.
Scorponok: What’s wrong, Cyclonus?
Cyclonus: Whoa, I’m getting outta here!
Scorponok: So what’s his problem? Hmm? Huh? It’s an ambush!
Tidal Wave: Uh oh. We’re in trouble.
Misha: Commence firing!
Scorponok & Tidal Wave: Aaargghhh!
Tech #1: Hey look, you guys. They’re retreating!
Techs: Oh yeah! All right! Ha, ha!
Ironhide: Transform!
Inferno: Transform!
Ironhide: So where’s — the bad guys?
Kicker: You just missed ’em, buddy.
Ironhide: Aww, come on! You’re kidding me, right, Kicker?
Kicker: Hey, with me around, you guy got nothing to worry about!
Q-2: How dare you two failures come back to me empty-handed!
Scorponok: Forgive us for failing, Alpha Q.
Q-3: I grow tired of this.
Q-1: And tired of you!
Scorponok: We were ambushed, your excellency.
Q-2: We don’t have enough Energon!
Q-1: — To revive Megatron!
Qs: You are pathetic!
Q-3: We need even more for Unicron.
Q-2: And at the rate you’re going, we’ll never have enough Energon to keep the lights on in here!
Q-1: And why is that?
Q-3: Your constant failures are getting annoying, Scorponok.
Q-2: You are expendible, you know.
Cyclonus: Eh, eh, Megatron-sir? Unfortunately, we failed again to capture any Energon for you.
Tidal Wave: Our deepest apologies, sir, but we were ambushed.
Cyclonus: Y-yeah, that’s it! Ambushed! Aww, forget it, Tidal Wave! We’re never gonna bring Megatron back to life. Hggh!
Megatron: Don’t do that.
Cyclonus: Hmm?!
Tidal Wave: I believe Megatron said “don’t do that.”
Cyclonus: I heard what he said, you blockhead. It’s just that I never expected him to react. Gee, why do I get stuck with such a numbskull?
Tidal Wave: In me?
Cyclonus: So why are you sticking up for Megatron? Hey, he used to always treat us like dirt. Errr! As a matter of fact, I like him in this state a whole lot better! Hnn!
Megatron: What did you just say?
Cyclonus: Hhh! I think I’m in big trouble!
Scorponok: You moron. Quit fooling around.
Cyclonus: Uh, Tidal Wave did it, sir.
Scorponok: Don’t give me that.
Cyclonus: So what are you doing here, Scorponok?
Scorponok: I’ve come to rectify a little problem we’ve been having.
Cyclonus: A p-p-problem?
Scorponok: It seems someone has been using up all our Energon.
Cyclonus: You mean…?
Tidal Wave: Megatron?
Scorponok: Hmm…
[Commercial]
Q-2: We have no use for the greedy.
Q-1: They hog our Energon.
Q-3: We must eliminate them.
Qs: We must eliminate them!
Cyclonus: What are you doing?! Duhh-ugh… Uhhheeehhh… Hehehe…
Scorponok: Those who steal Energon from us must be terminated.
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave… Tidal Wave…
Scorponok: Hmm? What — what was that? What’s that sound? Hmm?!
Cyclonus: Hey! It sounds like Megatron’s coming back to life!
Scorponok: Not if I can help it!
Tidal Wave: Huh? Hhh…
Cyclonus: Scorponok, just what do you think you’re doing to Megatron anyway?
Scorponok: Eliminating a problem, that’s what. Huh? What’s — going on?
Tidal Wave: Megatron lives!
Cyclonus: It’s alive! Aliiiive! Hahahahahahaha!
Scorponok: Arggh… What’s happened?!
Q-2: Megatron’s awakening!
Cyclonus: Aaaaahh! I got a bad feeling he’s not too happy with us!
Tidal Wave: Megatron lives! Megatron lives! Megatron lives!
Scorponok: How can this be happening?!
Megatron: I… am… back!
Tidal Wave: Megatron!
Cyclonus: Nice to see ya… Megatron.
Megatron: Who is this one — who dares to use my power? Tell me.
Scorponok: I… didn’t think you would notice. You seemed… distracted.
Megatron: You’ll pay for this.
Scorponok: You don’t scare me with your little toy sword. Besides, it’s nap time again. Attack him!
Megatron: Aaaahh! Ugghhh! Ahhh!
Scorponok: Aaaaaahhh!
Megatron: Ughh!
Scorponok: Haaa!
Megatron: Arggghh! Ugghh! Uhhh.
Cyclonus: Hang in there, sir!
Megatron: Ugh!
Scorponok: Aaaahh!
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha! I have never felt more alive! For that, I thank you, Scorponok.
Scorponok: Aaaaaaaahhhhh!
Megatron: Uffff!
Scorponok: Hwaaah!
Megatron: Hahahaha! Hhh, now it’s time to finish you off! Let’s call it payback — and then we’re even!
Scorponok: Ugh… ughhh. Ohhh.
Megatron: Hahahaha… Aaaaah, uggh!
Cyclonus: Suh-weet!
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha… I commend you on your fortitude, Scorponok. Yet did you really believe you could keep me in a coma?!
Scorponok: Aaahh! Aaaah… aaaahhh… urgh, aaaahhh…
Megatron: It’s good to be back. So good.
Cyclonus: Uh, Megatron-sir… Don’t you think the poor guy’s suffered enough already?
Megatron: Don’t be silly! Why I’m just getting started.
Cyclonus: I can’t watch!
Scorponok: Aaaah!
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Hahahahaha!
Scorponok: Aaaah… aaahhh…
Q-3: Very impressive.
Q-1: Yes, I must concur.
Megatron: Aaaahh!
Q-2: That’s enough, Megatron!
Megatron: Aaaah, aaaahh… ugh!
Scorponok: Yah! Ohhhh…
Q-2: Please, Megatron. I believe you have made your point quite clear.
Scorponok: Aahh! I give, Megatron! You win! Aaah! Aaah… ughhh… I said — you win!
Megatron: Sorry, but I believe you are in no position to tell me what to do.
Scorponok: Buh-but you don’t understand…
Megatron: Silence!
Scorponok: It wasn’t me that was using you, Megatron… It was all Alpha Q’s idea.
Megatron: Alpha Q?
Cyclonus: Yeah, he’s right, Megatron-sir. There’s this creep with like four heads and he’s behind all this.
Megatron: How am I supposed to believe, Cyclonus, after you had the nerve to kick me while I was down?
Cyclonus: Because he’s telling the truth, sir!
Megatron: Well… He’d better be.
Scorponok: Uhh… aaaawwwww….
Megatron: Welcome to my team, Scorponok!
Scorponok: Aaaaaaahhh!
Megatron: Hahahahaha!
Scorponok: Aaaaahhhh! Ahh… ahhh… Hhh. Uh.
Megatron: Now off with you, Scorponok. And show this to Alpha Q.
Scorponok: Yes… sir…
Q-3: I sense someone.
Q-1: Who is it?!
Q-3: How should I know? We finally meet, Megatron.
Cyclonus: What is that thing?!
Megatron: So, you must be Alpha Q.
Q-2: Good guess. Welcome to our lair. Make yourself at home. Hmm?
Q-1: Wuh… What’s going on?!
Q-2: Oh no! We’re surrounded!
Q-1: And with our Terrorcons!
Q-3: It appears we do not stand a chance against him.
Q-2: Which means we’ve got to run!
Megatron: Hold it. You’re not going anywhere.
Qs: Ughhhh… Hrggh!
Megatron: Uggh-hhh.
Qs: Hhh… hhh!
Megatron: Quick, after him, men!
Cyclonus: Come back here!
Q-3: I don’t think that’s such a good idea.
Cyclonus: What the?
Megatron: Open the gate! Ugh! Arrrruggghh!
Qs: Hhhh. Hhhh. Hhhh.
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha. Well, it looks like you ran into a bit of a dead end, Alpha Q.
Q-1: Maybe to you, Megatron!
Megatron: What?!
Q-1: For the past few years, you have suckled on our Energon while you pilfered from us. But all the while it is I who have carried out the bidding of Unicron!
Megatron: You are a fool! You may think you know Unicron, but in the end, it is I who is destined to rule the universe!
Q-2: Only time will tell, Megatron!
Megatron: What? What does that mean? What does that mean, you spineless simpleton?!
Cyclonus: Huhuhuhuh! Heheheh… Look! Unicron is breaking up! That’s impossible, it can’t break up!
Megatron: Do me a favour and shut up, Cyclonus! So, you’re still here.
Q-3: Heh, heh, heh, heh… Hahahahahaha…
Cyclonus: Now — we’re trapped!
Q-3: Hahahahahahaha!
Cyclonus: He disappeared!
Scorponok: But soon he’ll… re-return.
Megatron: Hahahahahaha… I think it’s time to forget about that pathetic Alpha Clueless. Now, let’s go get us some Energon, men.
Scorponok: I’m not going.
Megatron: Oh, I beg to differ, my friend.
Scorponok: But that would be a suicide mission. At our present power level, Optimus would destroy us!
Megatron: Heheheh… Trust me. That is not going to happen.
Kicker: Hurry! Open the gate! Radar just picked up an attack on Plains City!
Ironhide: Hey, hey, hey, relax, Kicker. Hot Shot and his crew are already there. I’m sure that they can handle it.
Kicker: I doubt it, Ironhide. Guess who just showed up.
Scorponok: Aaaahh…. aaaahh!
Megatron: Time to test your loyalty, Scorponok. Be my shield.
Hot Shot: Huh?
Megatron: You pass. Now out of my way!
Scorponok: Aahhh!
Hot Shot: It can’t be…!
Inferno: Whoa… What happened here?
Kicker: Man… It must’ve been ugly. Huh?
Megatron: Hahahaha. I’m guessing you’re surprised to see me.
Hot Shot: Errghhh.
Optimus: Hmmm!
Hot Shot: Urggghhh… Ugh! Aaaaahh!
Ironhide: No… no… Hot Shooooooooot!
[End]
Episode Notes
-When Alpha Q says “Our enemy? Which one do you mean? Which enemy? Ohhh, that’s rich! Hehehe! That’s rich! But you have to admit, it is a good question. Hahahaha!”, it all appears to be one character speaking with a different tone in his voice.
-Pronunciation of “Powerlinx” has changed to “Powerlink.”
-Optimus says “combine” for all of his drones except Submarine-4. This becomes a habit.
-Omnicon C has Skyblast’s voice but is a Strongarm unit. I assume Terry Klassen just ran outta voices.
-When Ironhide and Inferno come through the spacebridge, they both say “transform!” in the wrong order.
-Q-1 voices the line “Yes, I must concur” while Q-3 is visible.
-Scorponok’s lips do not move when saying “I give, Megatron! You win!”
-When Cyclonus calls Alpha Q “a creep with four heads,” how does he know about the fourth head to be revealed later? I guess he can’t count.
-Cyclonus doesn’t seem to recognize Alpha Q, most likely because he never saw him in the light in episode 4. Still, it’d be an obvious assumption.
