Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha, ha! Now that Unicron finally has its head on straight, nothing will stand in my way! Not even those pesky Autobots.

Misha: I kinda liked Unicron without its head. Reminds me of Halloween.

Kicker: Yeah, he took the headless horsemen to a whole new level. Uh oh, better get serious. Unicron stopped moving.

Misha: I’m just joking ’cause I’m scared. Something’s happening around the damaged areas of the body. Look! In quadrant four! Can you see that? Unicron’s using Energon to repair himself!

Kicker: Unicron keeps going… and going, and going.

Misha: Hh! Kicker! Where are you going?!

Kicker: Sorry, Misha. Now I have to go. We don’t have any time to waste and it looks like the Autobots need us.

Misha: Kicker!

Ironhide: Hey, what’s up, Misha?

Misha: Bad news, Ironhide. Kicker’s doing his lone ranger act and going inside Unicron by himself! You’ve gotta help!

Ironhide: Aw, no way.

Hot Shot: Not alone, he’s not. Prepare to move out, men! Kicker’s gonna need our help!

Misha: Is Optimus already there?

Hot Shot: Yes, Misha. He’s there. Optimus is trying to get into Unicron. Now that Optimus is combined with Omega Supreme, we’ve got the most awesome Autobot ever. He’ll get Megatron for sure.

Kicker: Arcee!

Arcee: I’m ready. Transform!

Kicker: Eggh, ugh. I sure hope we can get there before it’s too late. Hot Shot, Arcee and me are going to the head of Unicron.

Hot Shot: The head, but why there?

Kicker: That’s where the action is.

Ironhide: Hhh!

Roadblock: So what’s the plan, sir?

Hot Shot: All ground troops are to descend and start searching for Megatron. Unicron is still dormant. We can’t waste this chance!

Ironhide: Uhh, I’m with ya, Roadblock.

Roadblock: No! You should stay with Kicker.

Ironhide: What for? He’s with… uhh, Arcee…

Hot Shot: What’s the matter? Jealous? He’s still your partner, Ironhide. So why don’t you get out there? And remember, we’re all on the same team.

Kicker: Okay, Arcee, let’s do this. Misha, can you get the Miranda II closer to Unicron?

Misha: Sure, standby. But you guys be careful out there, okay?

Hot Shot: Don’t worry about us. We’ll be fine. Right, guys?

Autobots: (Excluding Hot Shot) Right!

Autobots: (Including Hot Shot) Transform!

Kicker: All right. Let’s go pay Unicron a little visit.

Ironhide: Go for it, Kicker! I’ve got your back!

Kicker: Okay, Ironhide. I can take care of myself, but it’s good to know you’re there, buddy.

Ironhide: You got it, Kicker! You know, that kid really grows on ya. Transform!

Kicker: Yee-haw!

Misha: Hhh. Ohh, I hope they’ll be all right. If Unicron gets online, nothing will be able to stop him.

Kicker: Look out, Unicron. I’m comin’ for ya. This universe isn’t big enough for the both of us.

[Transition]

Optimus & Rodimus: Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

Optimus: Talk about an extreme makeover.

Rodimus: That’s for sure, but where do you think Megatron’s hiding? Huh? No, there’s no way through!

Optimus: Yes, there is.

Rodimus: What do you mean?!

Optimus: I sense a great evil in this place. It could only be Megatron. We’ll find him. Just give me a moment to lock onto his co-ordinates. I know I can find another way in.

Rodimus: I believe that it must be Omega Supreme’s power that’s helping you pick up on Megatron. When Autobots Powerlinx, their power is increased ten-fold.

Optimus: I feel extremely aware of everything. It’s strange. I can focus on anyone’s life spark, even Megatron’s. This way!

Rodimus: Wait! You can’t get through that way!

Optimus: Not for long!

Rodimus: Well… Unless I want to get trapped down here, I’d better stick real close to Optimus today.

Megatron: They’re coming, Unicron; our enemies. Can you feel them? Eggh! Why won’t you move? Do something! Crush them, c’mon, do it! Optimus is coming after us. I brought you back to life and this is how you re-pay me?! Oh, no… Are you trying to tell me that you need even more Energon?! Where is Starscream? Where is he? Starscream! Starscream!

Jetfire: Hey, I think your mom’s callin’ ya!

Starscream: Yes, Megatron!

Megatron: Go get some more Energon right now! Unicron won’t listen to me unless you do.

Starscream: I’m kind of busy! Aaahh!

Megatron: What?! Ugh, then where is Snow Cat?!

Snow Cat: Help! Megatron, the Autobots are attacking us and we don’t have any backup! Ooh. It’s just me and Mirage and you know how useless he is! Oucch! My arms are getting yanked out of their sockets! Aaahhaaahaah!

Megatron: Ergggh! Shockblast! What are you doing?!

Shockblast: Oh, I’m surrounded by the enemy too… Yeah, and I can’t move. Can’t help you either. Listen, call back in an hour.

Megatron: You’re all useless. Well, where’s Scorponok, then?

Scorponok: Here. I’ve discovered some intruders. I’m on my way to stop them.

Megatron: Well, if they’re not a huge risk, then forget them. Release the Terrorcons. There’s not enough Energon. Tell the Terrorcons to gather more for Unicron immediately!

Scorponok: Yes. Right away, as you wish, Megatron-sir.

[Transition]

Scorponok: Terrorcons, get more Energon! I’m going after those tresspassers. You won’t get away from me! Heh, heh, heh, heh…

Megatron: Oh, for the love of — here they come.

Shockblast: Megatron! Megatron! The Autobots — they’re coming!

Megatron: Shockblast! Stand back. So once again, I see it’s up to me to take care of them. Yaaah! Ergggh. Come and get me, Optimus Prime! I’m ready for you.

Shockblast: Heheheh… Oh, come on! Are you completely clueless? Optimus isn’t even here!

Megatron: What?! What are you talking about, Shockblast?!

Shockblast: Heheheheh! It’s all mine now.

Megatron: What?!

Shockblast: Hahahahahahaha! Unicron is mine now! I’ll show you. Urghhh, hrggh, erggh… I can feel it. I can feel Unicron’s life force surge through me! Ghaaaggghh!

Megatron: What are you doing?

Optimus: Something’s happening.

Misha: It’s Unicron! He’s starting to move! It’s happening!

Roadblock: But where’s it going?!

Misha: I’m not sure, but I’ll find out. Okay, I’ve got it. Here are the co-ordinates; it’s headed towards Blizzard Planet. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep up, so you better hurry and tell the others.

Shockblast: Aaaaaaarrrrawwwggghhhh! Aaaaaarrrggghhh!

Megatron: Poor Shockblast. You should’ve known better than to think you could absorb the life force of Unicron by yourself.

Shockblast: Rrrgghhh! No! You’re wrong! I can handle it — aaaaahhhhhh!

Megatron: What?! Aaaah! Ugh, ugh! Urggh.

Shockblast: Errrraaaggghh! I’ve got the power! I can do this! Aaah! I am… Shockblast! Aaaaaahhhh-owwww! What’s happening?! Ooh.

Megatron: Shockblast! Shockblast! Come back! You’re going to be completely devoured by Unicron if you don’t control yourself!

Shockblast: Raaaaaaaaaaauggggggghhhhhhhh! Awwww, brrrgh!

Optimus: Who’s there?!

Demolishor: Ooh, ooh, ooh! I don’t believe it!

Shockblast: Hggh. Hgh. Hgh. Erhh. Erhhh. Hgghh. Aaaaahhh!

Demolishor: Shockblast, no! Help me, Megatron! Aaaah!

Optimus: Aaah! Urgh. Hwah!

Shockblast: Aaaaaaaaah! Aaaah!

Optimus: Urggh!

Shockblast: Hwaaaaaaaaah!

Optimus: Owaah!

Shockblast: Hahahaha!

Optimus: Hwah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! Aaah. Aaaaaaaaaahh! Oooh…

Shockblast: Hahahahaha!

Snow Cat: Aaaah! Somebody help me! What did I do to deserve this?! Okay, maybe I stole a little Energon, but I was only following orders. Megatron, help me, please! Ohhhoh, goodie. The guns are out! So you really do care about me, Megatron, after all. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much! (Yodels.) Aaaah! Hoohh! Don’t shoot me! I’m on your side! Ahaahaah! Yeee! Aaaaaaaaaahhh! Ugh, hey, get off my back, Demolishor! What do you think you’re doing?! You’re crushing me!

Demolishor: I got thrown out of Unicron!

Snow Cat: What?! But Megatron is controlling Unicron!

Mirage: Not anymore.

Snow Cat & Demolishor: Huh?!

Mirage: It’s Shockblast. He’s behind this!

Snow Cat: Shockblast?! Oh no, I’m outta here!

Demolishor: Hey, wait for me!

Megatron: Urgh. Where are we going, Unicron? Stop this! I fed you all that Energon, so I want you to listen to me! I command you to obey my orders! Aaah! Eraah! Why you…! Egh, Unicron! Tell me where we’re going!

Shockblast: Hahaha… Hahahaha…!

Optimus: Urgh, he’s too strong…

Omega Supreme: Optimus, it’s Omega Supreme. You’re fading fast! That’s not Shockblast anymore. He’s part of Unicron! Now get us out of here!

Shockblast: Hahahaha! Urgh!

Omega Supreme: Yah!

Optimus: Ergggh! Aaaah, uggh!

Omega Supreme: That was close. We were about to get taken apart back there. I guess Shockblast thought he could take control of the Decepticons by absorbing Unicron’s power. Big mistake.

Shockblast: Aaaaarrrggggghhhh! Ergggh!

Optimus & Omega Supreme: Ugh.

Optimus: Shockblast’s instincts are in control of him now. Unicron has awakened the evil inside him, and just as Unicron destroys anything in its path, that is what Shockblast has been programmed to do.

Shockblast: Aaaaaarrrggggghhhh! Hahaha! Aaaahahahaha!

[Transition]

Omega Supreme: Unicron flits dormant in space, but now that Shockblast has absorbed its evil essence, it could mean great danger for all the Autobots.

Jetfire: Misha! We’re coming aboard! Any sign of Optimus yet?

Misha: He’s Powerlinxed with Omega Supreme. He and Rodimus are trying to find a way inside Unicron.

Jetfire: What?! They’re gonna need some serious backup. You’ve gotta locate ’em, so keep trying until you do. He could be in serious trouble.

Misha: Okay!

Wing Saber: Hey Misha, I don’t see Kicker in there with you. What happened? Have you heard anything? Has he come back yet?

Misha: No, he’s still looking for Alpha Q. He’s so stubborn. I sent a message for him to get back here immediately, but he wouldn’t even answer me.

Jetfire: Well, once Unicron repairs itself, there won’t be any way for him to escape, so you tell him that right now.

Misha: Okay. Kicker! Kicker! Please, you’ve gotta answer me! This is important. Once Unicron repairs itself, you won’t be able to get out of there! Do you copy me? Kicker, come in! Kicker!

Ironhide: Did you hear that, Kicker? We can be stuck in here without an escape route.

Kicker: Yeah, I heard her. Nobody’s stoppin’ us. I’ve got a job to do. You can leave if you want.

Ironhide: Hey, wait…!

Kicker: It’s just up ahead. I’m sure of it. Trust me, Ironhide. We’ll win this battle.

Ironhide: All right!

Scorponok: Heheheh…

Snow Cat: Heh, heh, heh! Nobody gets past those doors to see Megatron without an invitation! Hahahaha!

Rodimus: Urgh! I see! So Megatron’s behind this door?

Snow Cat: Aah, that’s not what I meant. Ah, you sneaky Autobots!

Rodimus: Huh? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

Snow Cat: Have a nice fall! Hahahahahaha!

Megatron: Yes, that’s the way, Unicron. Get rid of everyone in my way. Eliminate them all! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Aah! Urgh! What are you doing? How — dare you! Urgh! Urgh. Unicron! I command you to do as I say! Remember, I am the one who is in control, not you! Unicroooon!

Omega Supreme: Move, Optimus, move!

Optimus: Aaaaahh! Ugh.

Omega Supreme: Uhh. Stay alert, Optimus. It’s the only way we can survive. Under Unicron’s control, Shockblast’s attack will be relentless. He won’t stop until he destroys us both, or until we get him first.

Shockblast: I am invincible!

Omega Supreme: Let’s Powerlinx!

Optimus: You got it!

Omega Supreme & Optimus: Ugh!

Optimus: Optimus Prime!

Omega Supreme: Omega Supreme!

Omega Supreme & Optimus: Powerlinx!

Omega Supreme: Omega!

Optimus: Optimus Supreme! Ugh!

Shockblast: Destroy! Gaaah!

Omega Supreme: Hang on, Optimus. Shockblast can be defeated and so can Unicron. We are linked as one, so you know I won’t let you down! This enemy is strong, but we… are… stronger!

Optimus: Aaah!

Shockblast: Arggh! I have the power of Unicron!

Optimus: Hrghh!

Shockblast: Aggghhh! Arggghh! Ohhhh!

Optimus: Yes, it is our duty to protect the planets of the ones who came before us. Only we can rid the universe of this evil, and that day has come today!

Shockblast: Aaahh…!

Optimus: No!

Rodimus: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! Huh?

Hot Shot: Rodimus?! Where did you come from?

Rodimus: Hot Shot, is everyone down there with you?!

Hot Shot: No, Kicker’s still inside! We’ve been trying to contact him, but he’s not answering! He’s trying to be a hero.

Rodimus: What?! Doesn’t he know that Unicron is almost completely revived?! All right, then. I’m getting him out of there.

Hot Shot: Rodimus, wait!

[Transition]

Shockblast: Arggh!

Optimus: Gghh. Snap out of it, Shockblast. You aren’t Unicron! You don’t know what you’re doing!

Shockblast: Argghh! Arrrghh!

Optimus: Yaah!

Shockblast: Aahh! Ughhh! Why you…!

Optimus: You need to chill out! So maybe this will cool you off!

Shockblast: Aaaahhh!

Optimus: Shockblast! You’ve been poisoned by evil! You have to get Unicron out of your body! Shockblast, remember who you are! You’re not Unicron! You’re a warrior, a proud warrior!

Shockblast: A warrior… Yes… I am a warrior! Aaaahaaaaaaaaaahhhh!

Megatron: Nooooo!

Misha: Aaaaaaaaaahh!

Autobots: Aaaaaahhh!

Optimus: Huh? Shockblast. Shockblaaaaaaaast! Unicron has destroyed Shockblast. Unicrooon!

Megatron: Yes, I feel the power of Shockblast’s life spark flowing through me. We are somehow connected! Is this the power of Unicron I’m feeling? Or is it me?! Hahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha! All that I’ve ever wanted is mine! I can do anything now!

Misha: Listen, Kicker! If you can hear me, I want you to stop fooling around and get back here right away, or else!

Rodimus: Misha! I’ll find him if you know where he is!

Misha: Where are you, Kicker?

Ironhide: Transform! Awww, great. We’re trapped.

Misha: Kicker, I know you can hear me. Listen! You’ve got to get out of there right now!

Kicker: In a minute, Misha. This is what I came here for. Arcee, it looks like I need your help. Light it up! Hhh. Huh?

Arcee: Transform! What is it, Kicker?

Ironhide: Huh? Is that who I think it is?

Arcee: Hey, Kicker, wait! Huh? Ironhide? What? But he, uhh…

Kicker: Alpha Q? Unicron did it. Eggghh…! But we did our best to protect you! And your homeworld! How could this happen?! How could this’ve happened, and why right now?!

Arcee: Kicker, I know exactly what you’re feeling. You just let it go.

Kicker: Hm. Huh?!

Ironhide & Arcee: Huh?!

Ironhide: Scorponok!

Arcee: Leave us alone!

Scorponok: Oh, Megatron-sir, I think you’ll be very interested in what I’ve found.

Megatron: Egghh… ugghhh…

Scorponok: Megatron…? Sir…?

Megatron: Egggghhh…! Urgghh…! Eraaaahhh…

Scorponok: Megatron… What would you like me to do? Give me an order.

Ironhide: Uh, that’s weird.

Arcee: Something’s not right here.

Scorponok: Megatron-sir! What should I do?!

Megatron: Eggh, eggh, egghh! Destroy…!

Scorponok: What’s wrong with you?!

Ironhide: Hey! Pal!

Scorponok: Huh?

Ironhide: Look, Scorponok, it’s your real master, Alpha Q.

Scorponok: That’s Alpha Q?

Ironhide: Yeah, don’t you remember?

Scorponok: Alpha Q…?

Megatron: Aaaaaggghh!

Scorponok: Uhh?! My master is Megatron! He’s the only one I serve! Aaaaahhh!

Arcee: Hhh…!

Scorponok: Aaaaaaaahhhhhh! Ugh!

Ironhide: Hhhh! Uhh! Run for it, Kicker!

Kicker: Aaaaahh!

Rodimus: Ugh.

Kicker: Hey, it’s Rodimus! Ugh.

Rodimus: C’mon! Hurry!

Ironhide: Got it!

Ironhide & Arcee: Transform!

Megatron: Destroy the Autobots!!!

Scorponok: Megaaaaatrrrroooonnnnnn!

Ironhide & Arcee: Transform!

Rodimus: Misha! Get us outta here!

Misha: Uhhuh! Huh?

Scorponok: Nooooooooo! Megatrrrrroooooonnn!

Megatron: Megatron doesn’t exist anymore.

Decepticons: Huh?!

Megatron: I am the destroyer of the universe. All will bow down before… Unicron!

Decepticons: Aaaah…!

Megatron: Ha, ha, ha… And especially you, Optimus Prime!

Optimus: So, one enemy is destroyed, and another takes its place. The battle isn’t over. It’s only just begun.
