Narrator: A rogue meteor is crashing down toward the lunar surface. If it hits its mark, the Decepticons will be obliterated from the universe forever. Their only hope is to destroy it, before it destroys them.
[Transition]
Megatron: Hahaha.
Demolishor: Check out Megatron, guys.
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha!
Demolishor: Way to smoke that comet, Megatron, sir! If you hadn’t, we all would have been crushed like ants at a picnic. With the Star Saber and the Skyboom shield, we — I mean you — can’t lose, Megatron!
Starscream: Ha. You’re a suck-up.
Megatron: Decepticons, I believe we are ready. The final and decisive battle against the Autobots is finally at hand.
Sideways: But Megatron! Sir, don’t you think you might be getting a little ahead of yourself here? It’s just that the Skyboom shield is new to you. Maybe you should learn how to use it first.
Megatron: Thank you for your input, Sideways, but never question my authority again!
Sideways: …but…
Megatron: Or maybe, Sideways, you have some tricks up your sleeve that you haven’t been sharing with us. Hmm?
Sideways: No — of course not!
Megatron: Good. I didn’t think so. (VO) Your end is very near, Optimus Prime. (Out loud) Hahahaha! Hahahaha!
[Commercial]
Hot Shot: Hey, no way.
Blurr: Guess that means I win.
Carlos: Aw, wicked cool.
Billy: Yeah, impressive. I’ve never seen metal move that fast before.
Fred: You kinda remind me of myself when I was working out more.
Blurr: Somehow I find that a little hard to believe, Fred.
Hot Shot: Aw, man. What a show-off.
Smokescreen: Hey, guys! So what’s going on in here?
Hot Shot: Just, uh, training, Smokescreen. Yeah.
Smokescreen: Training, huh? Excellent, excellent. That’s what I like to hear, gentlemen. Hope you don’t mind if I join you.
Hot Shot: Uh, sure.
Blurr: You couldn’t keep up. You don’t have the same performance chip we have. Besides, we wouldn’t want to embarrass you.
Hot Shot: Hey, Blurr, would ya zip it already?
Smokescreen: Embarrass me? Let’s do it. Piece o’ cake. Almost there. Almost… Hahahahaha! Hahahaha! In your face!
Blurr: Sorry, Hot Shot, but it looks like Smokescreen smoked you but good.
Alexis: Hey, wait to go, Smokescreen.
Rad: Looks like Hot Shot’s got a little catching up to do.
Optimus: Attention! Incoming message from Megatron. Report to the control room, stat!
Alexis: Boy, that’s kinda weird.
Fred: Hey, maybe he wants to surrender.
Carlos: Ah, would you give us a break, Fred?
Rad: Let’s go.
Megatron: Listen closely, Optimus Prime. It is time we ended this long-standing feud between our armies. And the moment has arised for the Decepticons to claim what is rightfully ours. The planet upon which you stand will be at the mercy of one last decisive battle. That is, if you have the courage to face me in battle. Hahahaha!
Carlos: Aw, man. That creep really gives me the — creeps.
Alexis: So what’re we going to do, huh, Optimus?
Optimus: I have no choice but to face him, because it is my sworn duty to protect this planet from his evil.
Rad: This is great. The Decepticons have the Star Saber sword and the Skyboom shield.
Optimus: Rad, no matter what the odds are, we have to stop Megatron at any cost.
Red Alert: Awaiting your orders, sir.
Smokescreen: All right! Let’s get it on!
Hot Shot: Watch it. You’re gonna put an eye out with your blade, you jerk.
Blurr: Hey Hot Shot, who said you’re even coming with us.
Scavenger: Excuse me, Blurr, but um, I told you before. We work together as a team.
Blurr: Whatever.
Optimus: Let’s move out!
Carlos: Kick some Decepti-butt!
Fred: And hurry back for dinner!
Billy: Shut up, Fred.
Rad (VO): It’s like Optimus said. Sometimes you just gotta get up and face the music.
Optimus: Begin launch sequence.
Hot Shot: All systems go, sir!
Optimus: Launch!
Hot Shot: Right behind ya!
Red Alert: We have liftoff.
Smokescreen: Ignition engaged, and we’re outta here!
Scavenger: Launch!
Blurr: Decepticons, here we come!
Demolishor: Megatron, sir, we’ve been out here in the middle of nowhere for almost an hour. Do you think they’ll still show up?
Megatron: Don’t worry, they’ll show up. But I don’t expect they’ll be leaving here in one piece. Hahahaha!
Cyclonus: Hahaha! Here they come!
Red Alert: I’ve locked onto their co-ordinates, sir. They’re dead ahead.
Optimus: Transform!
Megatron: We’ve been expecting you, Optimus.
Hot Shot: Didn’t think we’d show, did you, you overgrown motherboard.
Megatron: Powerlink, Star Saber. Let’s do this. Star Saber, powerlink! I’m about to turn your world into an eternal nightmare, Optimus. Demolishor, no! Just sit back and watch.
Demolishor: You sure, Megatron, sir?
Megatron: I hold the Star Saber sword and the Skyboom shield. Therefore, I hold the power of this universe. The time has fallen for those weaklings to feel my wrath.
Hot Shot: Enough yappin’. Let’s get this started. Powerlink! Whaa?
Blurr: Try this one on for size! Ugh?!
Megatron: Don’t bother, Autobots, with your petty little toys. My Skyboom shield with neutralize any pathetic attack you attempt to unleash upon me. Can’t you see your efforts are getting you nowhere. Your days as my adversaries are over. There is only ruler now, and that is me. Ha, ha, ha. Your time on Earth is over, Optimus!
Scavenger: Optimus!
Cyclonus: Hahahaha! They’re running around like chickens with their heads cut off!
Demolishor: I say we join in on this little party.
Red Alert: Are you all right, Scavenger?
Scavenger: Put it this way, Red Alert. I’ve had better days. But thanks for asking.
Smokescreen: We’ll take care of things, Scavenger.
Megatron: Where are you going? There is no escape! Ready to surrender yet? Hahaha.
Optimus: Not by a long shot!
Carlos: Keep on him, Optimus!
Billy: Ah, it looks like the weapons are like totally useless.
Fred: I’m breaking out in a rash!
Alexis: I say they better do something and quick.
Rad: Yeah, like capture either the Star Saber sword or the Skyboom shield, or else they’re going to be history.
Megatron: Final attack! I’m really starting to enjoy this. So, any last requests before I eliminate you, Optimus Prime?
Carlos: C’mon, do something!
Rad: Come on, guys. Now’s your chance! That’s it. Keep firing.
Red Alert: Optimus, sir!
Smokescreen: There.
Blurr: I’m on it. Transform!
Hot Shot: Hey, I’m coming too. Transform.
Smokescreen: What are they doing?
Cyclonus: Transform!
Starscream: Hey, where are you going?
Cyclonus: For a scenic drive. What do you think, you moron?!
Starscream: He’s such a kidder. Transform!
[Commercial]
Cyclonus: Oh yeah!
Hot Shot: Take cover!
Blurr: You might wanna get your sights checked, loser! Time for a little boost. Powerlink! Just what I need. Ready or not, here I come!
Cyclonus: Hold still, sucker, so I can blow you to smithereens!
Hot Shot: Hey Blurr, you all right?
Blurr: Okay… Get it together, Blurr. Gotta get a clean shot somehow.
Hot Shot: Don’t worry, I’ve got your back, bro.
Cyclonus: Ah, you’re a waste of time! Now this is more like it. Ahahahaha. Sorry, Auto-boob, but you’re about to become air conditioner.
Blurr: Transform! Hey, Hot Shot! This time, I’ll cover you!
Hot Shot: Transform! Wish me luck. I’m going in.
Cyclonus: All the horseshoes in the world couldn’t save ya now. Hahaha. Eat lead!
Blurr: Okay… I’ve almost got you in my crosshairs… Now!
Cyclonus: Nice try, but no cigar!
Hot Shot: Transform!
Blurr: I can’t seem to get a lock on him. And now they’re totally out of range.
Hot Shot: Let me unload a couple rounds on ’em! Take that, Decepti-junk.
Blurr: Transform!
Scavenger: Hmm, it seems like they’ve finally got a little teamwork going on out there, Smokescreen.
Demolishor: What the?
Blurr: Transform.
Cyclonus: How dare they shoot at us.
Starscream: This one’s mine, Cyclonus. Swindle, powerlink. Hope ya got sunscreen, ’cause you’re about to get burned!
Demolishor: Boy oh boy, Starscream’s really laying a pounding on ’em. Don’t be stupid!
Red Alert: That’s really gotta hurt.
Scavenger: Why in the world would Sideways do something dumb like that?
Smokescreen: Hot Shot and Blurr are pinned down.
Starscream: Light beam.
Red Alert: This doesn’t look good, Scavenger. Those bots are all over us.
Scavenger: If you’ve got any suggestions, I’m all ears.
Starscream: Don’t worry, it’s the dry heat.
Smokescreen: I’ve had all I can stand! Okay, Liftor, it’s time to powerlink! I’ve had enough fun and games for one day.
Starscream: What?
Smokescreen: Keep firing. I’ve got a feeling the tide’s about the turn.
Cyclonus: They’re all over me, Starscream!
Starscream: Don’t worry. I’ve got you co– aaaaahh!
Smokescreen: Hot Shot, now!
Hot Shot: This is gonna be a real blast. Come on, Blurr, let’s go get ’em.
Blurr: Why don’t you take the lead, all right? I should’ve stayed in bed…
Demolishor: Okay, Demolishor, time to step up to the plate. All right, time to find out where their weak point is. I’m gonna need help.
Cyclonus: Way to go, Demolishor! We’re back in business! You’re buddy Smokescreen is stuck between a rock, and well, another rock!
Hot Shot: I can’t shake him.
Blurr: No kidding!
Cyclonus: It’s time to say lights out.
Blurr: Who did that?
Hot Shot: I dunno, but let’s get outta here.
Sideways: Heh, he never saw what hit him. I’ll leave the rest up to you.
Megatron: Hahaha. It looks like you boys have been busy out here. Ah, but alas… This will be the end for you.
Hot Shot: Optimus! Hope you hadn’t given up on us.
Blurr: Sorry we’re late, sir.
Megatron: Do not interfere. You annoying little half-wits. Let go of it, Optimus Prime! Nooo! The Skyboom shield! How dare you! Aaaahhh! Who does that Mini-Con think he is?
Sparkplug: Lock onto shield.
Optimus: Sparkplug!
Megatron: Perfect timing. Now I can destroy the both of you, yesss.
Optimus: Watch it, Megatron! Brace yourself!
Megatron: No! How could this happen?!
Optimus: Incredible…
Scavenger: What is that?!
Carlos: What’s that light?
Rad: I don’t know. But, it looks like the light we saw before. Hey guys, remember when we first met High Wire?
Alexis: It’s the same light that brought Optimus Prime and the other Autobots here that day in the desert.
Megatron: What on Earth is happening? You may have the Skyboom shield, but not for very long, my unworthy opponent.
Demolishor: Megatron, sir!
Optimus: I wonder… Maybe that intense power is generated when the Star Saber and the Skyboom shield are used against eachother.
Hot Shot: Optimus! Is everything all right, sir?
Optimus: Yes, I’m fine. But what about Smokescreen and Scavenger?
Scavenger: We’re fine. After all, we were trained by the best.
Smokescreen: And it looks like the good guys won again, huh, Scavenger?
Red Alert: Optimus, sir, nice job in capturing the Skyboom shield. Impressive.
Optimus: I couldn’t have done it without you, men.
Scavenger: And it looks like Smokescreen came through in the crunch. Good job, buddy.
Smokescreen: Huh? Who, me?
Scavenger: Yeah, you, Smokescreen. It was all thanks to that crazy Longarm of yours. You really showed them who was boss back there.
Hot Shot: Hey, uh, buddy. Good job.
Smokescreen: Aw, shucks, I’m blushing.
Blurr: We’re real proud of ya.
Rad: All right! (VO) As the Autobots were celebrating their victory, I wondered about the mysterious light that was generated when the Star Saber sword and the Skyboom shield had been used against eachother. The light shot off into the sky and headed off somewhere into space. Almost as if — it had some kind of purpose.
