Shockblast: What?! Are you saying Unicron is starving, Megatron?
Megatron: Yes. He craves Energon, especially now that he awakens.
Shockblast: But there will be consequences if it doesn’t get any Energon soon.
Megatron: Don’t worry, Shockblast. I won’t let that happen.
Shockblast: Meaning?
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I mean I fill his belly with planet Cybertron.
Shockblast: What?!
Starscream: What?! Feed him an entire planet?!
Demolishor: That’s one super-sized meal.
Starscream: Huh.
Shockblast: Yeah… Sounds like a plan.
Megatron: Shockblast, I am personally putting you in charge of this entire operation.
Shockblast: All right! Okay men, you heard Megatron! Let’s all meet in the depature bay, stat!
Starscream: Hrgghhh…
Demolishor: Snow Cat, you can go in my place. I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
Snow Cat: Are you nuts? Tidal Wave, we nominate you.
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave disagree. You go!
Shockblast: I’m not asking for volunteers. I’m giving orders.
Snow Cat: Yessir. We’re out of here, sir. I don’t get why Megatron put that goon in charge of us.
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave does not trust Shockblast.
Megatron: So Shockblast, what should we do about that annoying Energon grid?
Shockblast: Leave that to me, Megatron. I’ll take care of it.
Megatron: You’d better hope you do…
Kicker: Hey Alpha Q! Peekaboo! I know you’re in there, so stop playing hide-and-go-seek with me. If you don’t answer me right now, ya freak, you’ll be sorry! I’m gonna show you a little game we play on earth called “Kick the Can!”
Scorponok: Enough!
Kicker: Huh?
Scorponok: I suggest you leave Alpha Q be, Kicker.
Kicker: Butt out, Scorponok! I don’t have time for this. Egh, aah, ahh!
Ironhide: Grow up, Kicker. Alpha Q’s a little tired after Unicron’s rampage.
Kicker: Oh, like I really care. We gotta wake up that poor excuse for an octapus before Megatron totally destroys Cybertron! Aaagghh!
Rodimus: Just let him be for now, Kicker. I think Alpha Q has been through quite a lot.
Kicker: Sure, but don’t say I didn’t warn you guys.
Optimus: Jetfire, status report!
Jetfire: Unicron is starting to move, Optimus. And it appears to be getting closer to Cybertron.
Optimus: Good work, Jetfire. Rad, initiate the Energon grid at once.
Rad: No prob, Optimus!
Optimus: All units, prepare for battle! We’ll depart for Cybertron at once.
Rodimus: Optimus! Optimus!
Optimus: Huh? Rodimus!
Rodimus: Forgive the intrusion, but we’re coming with you.
Arcee: Mmm!
Skyblast Units: Ugh!
Optimus: Ugh!
Hot Shot: Egh!
Inferno: Egh!
Ironhide: Uhh!
Kicker: Egh. Hhh… Now why do you have to be this way, Alpha Q? All this waiting around for you to rest up is a total waste of time.
Misha: Getting mad doesn’t help either.
Kicker: Hh?
Misha: You can’t get all stressed out about it either. Ya gotta be a little more patient.
Kicker: For your 411, we don’t have time to be patient, Misha!
Misha: Kicker, cool it! You can’t go alone. I’m coming with you.
Kicker: You’ve gotta be kidding!
Misha: Well, doesn’t look like you’re getting anywhere.
Kicker: Give me a break… You’re gonna talk to him?
Misha: Hey… You never know till ya try.
Kicker: You’re… not serious…
Misha: Awhh.
Kicker: Misha, wait up!
Rad: Aww, man. This is no good. It’s still too far away.
Jetfire: Huh? Unicron’s stopped moving!
Rad: What?
Jetfire: I’ve locked on the mobile fortress. Okay, Rad, let’s blow that baby to smithereens.
Rad: Okay!
Wing Dagger: I’m here, guys! Now where’s that dirty Decepticon?!
Jetfire: Huh? Mind telling us who you are?
Wing Dagger: Huh? Oh, right. I’m Wing Dagger. I was guarding Shockblast, who — well, uh, kinda escaped on my watch.
Jetfire: Shockblast?
Wing Dagger: Yeah, you know, the Decepticon? I’m sure you’ve heard of ‘im. And, if I don’t find him, I’m in a heap of trouble. Where are you, Shockblast?
Shockblast: Okay men, I want you to listen up… And listen up good. You are now my elite troop, under my command. And I won’t stand for any insubordination! We’re about to commence attack on Cybertron, where together… we will obliterate the planet!
Decepticons: Yeaaaahh! All right!
Snow Cat: Ya hear that? We’re an elite troop.
Demolishor: Ughgh… He meant us too, right?!
Snow Cat: Yeah of course, you idiot!
Tidal Wave: Aghhhh…
Starscream / Demolishor / Snow Cat: Huh?
Snow Cat: Incoming! Get down!
Shockblast: Everyone! Just remain calm! Ha… Just like I thought. Nice shooting, Megatron.
Snow Cat: Huh?
Starscream: But that wasn’t Megatron firing. I’m sure of it!
Tidal Wave: Tuhhh… tght…
Megatron: I’m so sick and tired of hearing excuses! I demand results, or this is on your head, Shockblast!
Optimus Prime: Optimus Prime… Transform!
Ironhide: Ironhide, transform!
Hot Shot: Hot Shot, transform!
Inferno: Inferno… Transform!
Prowl: Prowl, transform!
Landmine: Landmine, transform!
Rodimus: Rodimus, transform!
Optimus: Optimus Prime, Powerlinx! Fire-1, combine! Copter-2, combine! Digger-3, combine! Submarine-4! Optimus Prime, Powerlinx complete!

Jetfire: Hh… Hhh… We got trouble, Optimus!
Optimus: Is it Unicron?
Jetfire: Yeah, and it looks like we’re about to be hit by the Decepticons!
Optimus: Not good…
Shockblast: The time has come for my elite troop to attack. Now get out there and win one for Megatron!
Decepticons: Oh yeah!
Shockblast: Destroy all Energon towers!
Snow Cat: Well, shall we?
Demolishor: After you, Snow Cat. Heheh.
Shockblast: Wait…
Snow Cat & Demolishor: Huh?
Shockblast: I said “my elite troop.”
Starscream: What’s the problem?
Demolishor: Are you saying we’re not good enough, Shockblast?
Snow Cat: Hey, didn’t I tell you we couldn’t trust this creepy excuse for a cyclops? Just who does he think he is anyway, huh?
Shockblast: The only reason why you’re here is because you’re all Megatron’s obedient lapdogs. Now quit your yapping.
Tidal Wave: Why you little…!
Starscream: No! Don’t, Tidal Wave.
Shockblast: Heh. All right. You whiners can come. Maybe you can even destroy an Energon tower or two. But don’t you clowns even think about getting in my way.
Q-1: Who is it?! Someone’s coming!
Scorponok: Huh?
Q-1: Yes, and I do believe it’s Kicker!
Q-2: Oh, I’m much too tired to see him. Send him away!
Q-3: Wait! Kicker does not come alone. I sense another human.
Q-2: I believe you’re right…
Q-1: Oh, I’m right, all right! It’s Misha! Misha, Misha! Hahaha!
Q-4: Shall we scare her?
Scorponok: I don’t think that’s such a good idea, Alpha Q.
Q-4: Oh, allow me this bit of fun… Oh, wait… It’s not up to you.
Misha: Uhh! Hhh.. Hhh! Aahh-hhh!
Kicker: Energon Saber!
Misha: Egh?
Kicker: Misha! Hey, don’t you dare touch her! Rrgh!
Misha: No! Kicker, stop! Don’t hurt them!
Kicker: Eghh! C’mon, have you totally lost it, Misha?! Alpha Q’s behind this whole mess!
Misha: Please, you have to trust me on this one.
Kicker: Buh… but you can’t be serious…
Misha: (VO) I know what I’m doing.
Kicker: No, it’s too dangerous!
Misha: Back off, Kicker. I think I can handle this! Okay, that’s far enough, Alpha Q. Now out of our way!
Kicker: It’s working! Just watch yourself. Eghh! Why is he listening to her?
Shockblast: It’s time, soldiers! Attack!
Decepticons: Yeaaaahh!
Shockblast: Go, go, go!
Decepticons: Aaaaaaahhhhh!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Just follow my lead, boys. (Yodels.)
Demolishor: Haha, ha! Not if I get those Energon towers first, losers!
Tidal Wave: It’s time to show Shockblast who’s elite!
Shockblast: Fire, Decepticons! Destroy!
Decepticons: Yeaahh!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Demolishor: Hrgghh!
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave!
Shockblast: What?!
Optimus: Get in position, men. Keep firing. We must protect the towers.
Hot Shot: Hey Inferno, whaddya say we Powerlinx?
Inferno: Yeah, let’s do it. Inferno!
Hot Shot: Hot Shot!
Inferno & Hot Shot: Powerlinx!
Inferno: Powerlinx Inferno! Eraah, egh, egh, egh!
Shockblast: Don’t just stand there! Fire back!
Demolishor: Heheh, heh… Shockblast’s “elite” boys are getting bombared! Heheh!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.) I just love this!
Starscream: But we can’t let this happen! We’ve got to help them!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.) This’ll be a piece of cake! We’ve got ’em outnumbered, so let’s wipe ’em out!
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave has no choice.
Shockblast: Ha, I’ll let those lugheads finish off Cybertron. Transform!
Tidal Wave: Shockblast is ditching!
Starscream: Don’t worry about that bozo!
Tidal Wave: Hrggh…!
Kicker: Ugh! Ugh! Yaah! You mind getting out of my way?
Scorponok: Leave him alone! Alpha Q is busy.
Misha: Well then I guess I’ll wait until he’s not busy.
Scorponok: Huh? No! Come back! Huh? Kicker!
Misha: Yoohoo, Alpha Q… I hate to disturb you. I know you might be busy, but we need to have a little chat. So if you just spin around to your logical head and just listen to me for a minute, you can go back to being “busy.”
Scorponok: That’s far enough, human. I can’t let you through.
Kicker: Oh yeah?! Well, I’d like to see you try and stop me, Scorp-o-noxious!
Scorponok: Then I will grant your wish. Transform! Aaaarggghh-uggghhh! Eraaahh!
Kicker: Uhh! Hey, Misha!
Misha: Hey, are you listening? It’s time to concentrate. I’m here to work with you. Look, all of you work together — in that tin can — it’s time to let someone else help. Everything will be just fine, okay?
Kicker: Outta my way, ya freak! What’s going on?
Decepticons: Aaaaaahhh!
Demolishor: Heheheheheheh!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Whoa!
Optimus: Huh?! The tower!
Ironhide: Don’t worry! I’m on it, sir!
Optimus: No, Ironhide! Come back!
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave!
Optimus: Rodimus, you take over here. Got it?!
Rodimus: No problem, Prime!
Ironhide: Ugh… ugh… ugh… ugh…
Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Come and get it, Auto-creeps!
Optimus: Yah! Yaah! That was close.
Ironhide: Yeah. Too close, Optimus.

Misha: Who’s your friend here? Are you listening? Nobody’s trying to hurt you. Everyone just wants to make sure no harm comes to you.
Alpha Q: Lies…
Misha: Huh?
Alpha Q: Everything you say is a lie.
Misha: Boy, I really wish you would stop that and listen to me.
Alpha Q: Why should we?
Misha: Because we’re trying to work as a team here, trying to save your planet, my planet and Cybertron. It’s time to get on board with us, Alpha Q.
Optimus: Hold it right there!
Shockblast: Looks like you’re a little late, Prime! Hahahahaha!
Optimus: Hurry, Ironhide! Take cover!
Ironhide: Yessir!
Shockblast: That’s it! Run like the vermin you are!
Wing Dagger: Give it up, Shockblast!
Shockblast: Huh? Hrghh! Grgghh! Aaarggh!
Wing Dagger: It’s back to the slammer for you, pal!
Shockblast: Think again!
Ironhide: Optimus-sir!
Optimus: Huh? Oh, no! Wing Dagger, let go! Don’t be a fool!
Wing Dagger: No can do, Optimus. He’s my prisoner, and I can’t let go.
Optimus: It’s too dangerous! Just cut him loose!
Ironhide: Don’t be a fool!
Shockblast: Let go of me, you oaf!
Wing Dagger: Not — on — your — life!
Shockblast: Why does this always have to happen to me?!
Wing Dagger: There’s nowhere to run, Shockblast!
Alpha Q: We’ve all lost so much…
Misha: Hhh!
Kicker: (In flashback) Hehehehehehe!
Misha: It’s Kicker… When he was young!
Alpha Q: And when he was innocent. That Kicker doesn’t exist anymore. He’s gone forever.
Misha: You’re wrong. You just don’t know him.
Kicker: Hhh?!
Misha: Kicker has grown up so much. You know, I tease him a lot, but he just might be able to save us all in the end.
Snow Cat: Ha! They sure don’t look elite to me.
Demolishor: Hwa, hwa, hwa, hwa, hwa! And those pinheads don’t stand a chance without us.
Megatron: You idiots! What in the universe are you doing?!
Snow Cat & Demolishor: Huh?
Starscream: Megatron-sir!
Megatron: How long does it take to destroy a few Energon towers?!
Starscream: Wasn’t Shockblast in charge?
Megatron: In all this time, I see you’ve knocked over one or two of those towers — But my orders were to have them all destroyed, you morons!
Misha: So, Alpha Q, why did you try to fight?
Alpha Q: We needed to get our planet back.
Misha: That’s the same reason why Kicker’s fighting. He wants planet Earth to be safe again. And there’s only one way to do that.
Alpha Q: Yes, we understand you.
Q-4: Megatron must be destroyed.
Misha: Oh, you’re awake!
Q-1: Destroyed at once!
Q-3: There is no time to waste.
Q-2: Let’s get to it.
Qs: It’s time to get our planet back.
Misha: Hh.
Kicker: I agree.
Misha: Hh — ohh?
Kicker: Alpha Q’s finally talkin’ some sense.
Scorponok: Well, he’s not to me. Not one bit.
Misha: Heheheh…
Shockblast: I said — let go!
Wing Dagger: Sorry, Shockblast, but my job is to take you in!
Ironhide: Do the smart thing and release him, Wing Dagger!
Optimus: Jetfire!
Jetfire: What’s up, Optimus?
Optimus: Get out there and help Wing Dagger!
Jetfire: You got it, sir!
Megatron: Hahahahahaha! Well, it looks like we meet again, Optimus Prime!
Optimus: Megatron!
Megatron: I certainly hope you don’t mind if I step in! After all, Cybertron is ripe with Energon, and perfect for reviving Unicron.
Optimus: That’s not going to happen!
Rodimus: Hrgggh.
Shockblast: You’re starting to bug me!
Megatron: Tidal Wave!
Tidal Wave: Hrhhh?
Megatron: I want you to get that leech off of Shockblast’s back!
Tidal Wave: You cannot get past me, Autobot.
Jetfire: That’s what you think! Just watch me!
Shockblast: I’ve had enough of this mindless game! Hang on, loser! Sorry, chump, but this is the end of the line!
Wing Dagger: What?!
Shockblast: And don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave…
Shockblast: Oh! What the?!
Tidal Wave: Hmm?
Shockblast: Out of my way, you idiot!
Tidal Wave: But I’m supposed to help.
Wing Dagger: Erggh!
Shockblast: Errrrggghhhh!
Ironhide: Wing Dagger! Just let him go!
Optimus: Hhh! Wing Dagger!
Megatron: Ha! What took you so long? I thought you were a tough guy, Shockblast.
Shockblast: Get off my case! The last thing I need right now is a critic.
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave… Tidal Wave!
Megatron: Tidal Wave! Ah! Help me get this Decepticon out of here!
Demolishor, Snow Cat & Starscream: Errggghhh!
Shockblast: Transform! Come back here! I’m in command! Are you dissing me?! You’ll pay for this! Every last one of you will pay!
Ironhide: Ergh, hhhh… hhhh. Wing Dagger!
Optimus: He’s gone, Ironhide. Wing Dagger did what he had to do. Remember, our mission is to protect Cybertron.
