We have decided on several new VAs for Beast Wars Neo and Beast Wars II. Before we announce anyone, we’d like to thank everybody for auditioning. If you didn’t get a part, don’t get discouraged – there will be several opportunities to audition for more parts for both of these series in the future. Sometimes it’s just a matter of the right character popping up to suit your voice. We were impressed with most of the auditions we received and hope you all try out next time around.

We have also cast a couple of other parts – Longrack wasn’t put up for auditions because Scott Williams (my brother) will be taking him on in addition to performing Countdown and Sling in Beast Wars Neo. Bigmos was a matter of our original choice’s e-mail no longer working, so we went with our runner-up from when we originally held auditions.

They are as follows: Read more »

It’s been just over a month and TFCog is proud to release yet another episode! This time it’s the first Beast Wars Neo episode in five years. We’re planning on releasing a lot more in 2012 (minimum four episodes over the course of the year, not including Victory 26), so keep checking the site for more!

This is a… wacky episode to say the least – something we’ve definitely missed during Neo’s hiatus. Longrack and Break go to pick up a capsule, but one wrong step turns Longrack into a little kid! Now, the Maximals must go back to the planet in order to turn Longrack back, but the capsule isn’t done yet…

Discuss the episode on the TFCog Forums or if you prefer, post your comments below.

Beast Wars Neo episode 11 is closer and closer to being finished and to give you a little sneak peak of the episode, we have put up a quick preview of the episode exclusively on our Facebook group.

We encourage you to join the group and discuss all things TFCog along with other projects some of our friends are working on. We of course suggest that you turn off e-mail notifications so your inbox doesn’t get crowded!

The part has now been filled. More auditions are coming soon. Thanks! Read more »

Please check out the music section to download some new Transformers-related tracks, including intros and outros to popular Transformers shows and some fan-made music.

It’s been a long time coming… We’ve been working on this site literally for years, but now it’s finally here.

Please let us know by comment, tweet, Facebook message or whatever method you please how you like the new site and if you find any problems with it anywhere. The idea behind the site is not to change the site completely (we realized our visitors prefer familiarity), but to make a more modern website that retains the old site’s feel.

Some of the new aspects of the website include: individual pages for each one of our episodes, the remainder of the Transformers episode transcripts added to the site and easier navigation. Look for more great things to be added to the site in the coming weeks, months and beyond.

Thanks to Steven C. Phillips (aka Megatron) of The Predacon Empire for the logo!

Transformers: Energon
“Ironhide Team” – Episode 47
Written by Voicebox Productions

–
Q-2: Kicker and his Autobot team are on their way to Central City!

Q-1: Good. He’s going back to work after being reunited with his family.

Sally: Ohh, Kicker!

Q-3: But where’s Optimus Prime? Is he somewhere in the city?

Q-2: It’s a mystery. He’s nowhere to be found!

[Transition]

Demolishor: Snow Cat, what is this stuff?

Snow Cat: Hmm… It’s Super Energon, I think! Heheh.

Demolishor: Well, why don’t we take some?

Snow Cat: Yeah, Galvatron will never know! C’mon, whaddya say we take a little dip! Woohoo!

Q-2: The Decepticons are in the underground Energon temple!

Q-1: They’re taking control of the Super Energon pool!

Q-4: And that means Kicker and the others are in great danger, great danger…

[Transition]

Dr. Jones: Erghh, ergh, ergh… ergh, ergh, errrghh. Hhh… erggh, eraaah! I’ve gotta get outta here as soon as I can. I’m sure those two Decepticons are still in the area. Oh no! Erghh, ergaah! Aaaahh!

Snow Cat: Aaaaaahhh!

Demolishor: (Makes scared ape noises.)

Snow Cat: Hold me, Demolishor!

Snow Cat: Aaaaaahhh!

Demolishor: (Makes scared ape noises.)

Dr. Jones: Hmmm? That’s strange! Aaahh… Huh?! Aaaaahhh! The Terrorcons? What happened? They seem to have transformed. Errr…

[Transition]

Galvatron: Now, tell me again, Sixshot. Why should I spare you?

Sixshot: Uh, because, sir, I’m the only one who can unlock the Energon grid.

Galvatron: You’re the only one? Well, I suppose you might be of some use to this operation after all.

Sixshot: Thank you, Galvatron. Thank you! Huhh…?

Galvatron: Wait, what’s that noise? Are those Terrorcons? Snow Cat, what’s going on out there?

Snow Cat: Galvatron, I’m here at the north gate. And as you can see, the Terrorcons have somehow transformed into giants and running amuck!

Demolishor: Things are out of control! There’s so many of them! The exact number’s, uh… one… two… uh, three… Um, what comes after three?! Let’s just say there’s a lot of ’em! And they’re going beserk!

Galvatron: I want to know how something like this could happen!

Demolishor: Well, Snow Cat and I were looking for the Super Energon in the Energon temple…

Galvatron: So you and Snow Cat went into the temple and basked in the Super Energon without my permission?!

Snow Cat: Oh, no, sir. We would never do such a thing! But that’s what the Terrorcons did! We would’ve stopped them if we could, but just look at them — they’re monsters!

Starscream: You mean those Terrorcons turned into giants due to the power of Super Energon?

Galvatron: Just stop them before they damage the Energon grid!

Starscream: That’s a job for Scorponok. The Terrorcons obey him.

Galvatron: Well, then tell Scorponok to get on it!

Starscream: Apparently, Optimus Prime is in the spaceport. Scorponok is on his way there.

Sixshot: Heh, heh, heh… Sir, I know a way to take care of Optimus… If ya let me. All I have to do is spray some Energon gas around the area and I assure you Prime and his team will scatter like insects. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha… Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…

[Transition]

Omega Supreme: Optimus, no sign of Decepticons. This would be a good place to touch down.

Optimus: All right, but everyone stay on guard.

Superion: Of course, but as long as their Energon grid is outta commission, we shouldn’t have anything to worry about.

Omega Supreme: I wouldn’t be so sure about that, Superion Maximus.

Optimus: It’s Scorponok. Okay, we’ll set down here but maintain a defensive formation.

Starscream: Scorponok!

Scorponok: Yes?

Starscream: Forget about those Autobots. Head back to Central City.

Scorponok: But what about Optimus Prime?

Starscream: You’re needed here! The Terrorcons are running wild in the city!

Scorponok: What, the Terrorcons?!

Starscream: You know you’re the only one who can really control the Terrorcons.

Scorponok: Yes, that’s true. I’ll be right there.

Constructicon: It’s us against them, Bruticus Maximus.

Bruticus: I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Constructicon: You’d think Optimus Prime would know better than to tangle with us. Let’s show him who’s boss!

Sixshot: Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh…

Galvatron: You… Stop laughing now.

Sixshot: So, Galvatron, it looks like you need me more than you realized. Y’see, if you could unlock the Energon grid all by yourself, it would be a different story. But unfortunately, you can’t.

Galvatron: All right, Sixshot, what do you want?

Sixshot: I want you to apologize to me.

Galvatron: What…?

Sixshot: And make sure you’re sincere. Maybe you could, uh… bow your head…

Galvatron: You… mrgghhh…

Sixshot: What are you doing, Starscream? Listen… I don’t have any problem with you… Please don’t… hurt me…!

Galvatron: Starscream, you dolt, get up. I never told you to do that. Get up!

Starscream: I am here to serve. And if this will help destroy the Autobots, then I see no shame in bowing down to Sixshot.

Sixshot: Well, I guess if Galvatron’s right hand man will go as far as to bow before me, that’ll have to do. After all, I don’t want to cause any trouble. I just want to know that I’m appreciated. No hard feelings, okay?

Galvatron: Errrr…

[Transition]

Optimus: Oh no. The Decepticons are releasing the Energon gas again. We’ve got to get inside where it’s safe. There! We can get into the command centre through that door. Let’s go! Huh? Oh, this is not good…

[Transition]

Kicker: This is it, Hot Shot. We can get to Primus from here.

Hot Shot: Okay, Kicker, but let’s be careful. Remember, Rad and Dr. Jones haven’t turned up yet. So that could mean they’ve had a run-in with the Decepticons.

Kicker: Yeah, you could be right, but the only way we’re going to find them is with Primus’ help.

Sally: Uhh…

Kicker: Arcee, are you ready?

Arcee: You know I am!

Kicker: Okay, let’s go. Geronimo! Ugh… ugh.

Rad: Hey! Kicker!

Mirage: Huh?!

Arcee: Transform!

Kicker: Okay, Arcee! Get ‘im!

Mirage: Don’t even think about it, Autobot!

Arcee: Ugh!

Mirage: Ahaa, what a lousy shot! You missed me. Huh?! What’s happening?! Uggh! Errghhh! Aaaahhh!

Kicker: Whoa… Thanks, Primus.

Rad: Kicker! Ugh… Thanks for getting rid of Mirage, but I’m afraid we’ve got bigger problems.

Kicker: What do you mean?

Rad: Primus is gonna need way more Energon if he’s gonna wake up.

Kicker: Oh really?! That wasn’t enough?! Hey, by the way, where’s my dad?

Rad: Oh, uh, I think he went of on his own to get some help.

[Transition]

Dr. Jones: I sure hope this works… A little bug in the system oughta stir things up. I know the Decepticons don’t think very much of humans like me, but this one little trick I’m sure they’ll never figure — Awww! Ohhh. Optimus must be inside the building by now. All I have to do is find a way to signal him. And Kicker thinks I just sit behind a desk all day, ha, ha…! If he could only see me now. Well, I can do lots of things, Kicker. There. That’s it, shut down complete. That should stop the gas coming through the air ducts from the Energon temple. In theory. And the Autobots will be here soon, at least I hope.

[Transition]

Omega Supreme: Optimus, I can’t take much more of this.

Optimus: Let’s get inside.

Omega Supreme: We’ll have to charge in. But there’s no guarantee there won’t be any more gas inside the command centre.

Superion: Hmm?

Omega Supreme: What’s the matter?

Superion: The gas… It’s starting to clear away from the entrance!

Optimus: Good. This is our last chance to get in there.

[Transition]

Galvatron: What are you doing? Get the Energon grid online!

Sixshot: I’m trying, sir, but there’s a — a problem!

Galvatron: What’s the matter, soldier?

Sixshot: Well, for some reason, the master computer is ignoring my commands!

Galvatron: You know how I feel about failure.

Sixshot: Well, someone must’ve hacked into the system and shut the pipeline down. Ahh, it’ll take a moment to get it back online, sir.

Galvatron: So! You have failed!

Sixshot: Aaaaahh! Aaahh…

Galvatron: It’s just as I thought. You’re all talk and no action. Now, apologize! Do it! Apologize! Or it’s all over! Sixshot, you’ve wasted enough of my time! I think I’ve made up my mind.

Starscream: Spare him, please, Galvatron!

Galvatron: Bah, you’re just like you’re brother, Shockblast. You cause nothing but trouble! Let’s go, Starscream!

Starscream: Yessir!

Galvatron: We can’t let Optimus Prime in here! Sixshot, I’ll deal with you later.

Sixshot: Aggghhh…

Galvatron: Mirage, Demolishor, Snow Cat, listen up. I want all of you on the surface right away. We’re going to secure Cybertron.

[Transition]

Scorponok: Terrorcons, stop! Get back to the temple, now! What are you trying to do, anyway?! Huh? Ah, you’re trying to get outside. I won’t allow it! Urgggh! I said stop! I command you to go back to the temple and convert the Energon so Galvatron can use it! Go back to the temple, right now! Why won’t they listen to me?

Ironhide: Autobots are really great!

Scorponok: Huh? Arrrgh…

All Three: Autobots are really great!

Ironhide: Move it, boys, or we’re too late!

Scorponok: The Autobots…

All Three: Move it, boys, or we’re too late…

[Transition]

Rodimus: The Energon grid is down. All right, we’re going in.

Cliffjumper: Yeah! Let’s roll!

Superion: Whatever you do, don’t stop firing until Optimus and the others get inside the command centre! Understand?

Prowl: Right!

Bulkhead: I’m glad you’re on our side, Superion Maximus.

Superion: Believe me, Bulkhead, the feeling’s mutual!

Bulkhead: Haha, right you are, heh! With friends like you, we’ll be okay!

Superion: Huh?

Bulkhead: Huh?

Snow Cat: Yeah, now this is more like it!

Demolishor: Heh, let’s get busy!

Mirage: Destroy the Autobots!

Snow Cat, Demolishor & Mirage: Aaah…?

Rodimus: I’d sure like to see you try.

Prowl: Rodimus!

Rodimus: Well, whaddya say, Prowl? It’s time to Powerlinx.

Prowl: Yessir!

Rodimus: Rodimus!

Prowl: Prowl!

Rodimus & Prowl: Powerlinx!

Rodimus: Powerlinx Rodimus!

Constructicon: Whoa!

[Transition]

Ironhide: There’s one thing that I know…

All Three: There’s one thing that I know!

Ironhide: The Decepticons have to go! Company, halt! Hey, who goes there?

Dr. Jones: Hhh, hhh, hhh…

Ironhide: Whoa, that’s Kicker’s father. Yo! Dr. Jones! Over here!

Dr. Jones: Is that you, Ironhide?

Ironhide: Team Ironhide at your service, sir!

All Three: There’s no reason to run and hide, Team Ironhide is on your side!

Dr. Jones: Huh?!

Ironhide: Oh, man! What is that?!

Dr. Jones: Terrorcons. The Super Energon must’ve made them huge.

Ironhide: I don’t believe it. All right, we’ve gotta protect Dr. Jones, so we’ll retreat to a safe place until backup arrives.

Dr. Jones: No, Ironhide. There’s no time for that. If you have any Energon with you, then you must take me to Primus immediately.

Ironhide: What? You wanna go and see Primus? Yes, of course, and I understand, but you’ll have to lead the way, sir.

Dr. Jones: Sure. No problem.

Ironhide: Transform! Okay, Doctor. Shake a leg and get in.

Blue: We’re going to stay, sir.

Ironhide: Oh, no you’re not.

Blue: We can handle those Terrorcons.

Ironhide: Yeah, but what about Scorponok? He’ll be a lot tougher and —

Blue: — We are strong!

Yellow: We have pride.

Red: We are Team Ironhide!

All Three: Yeaaahh! We are strong, we have pride, we are Team Ironhide! We are strong, we have pride, we are Team Ironhide!

Ironhide: Stop! Come back!

Scorponok: Transform!

All Three: Waaaaahhh!

Ironhide: Oh no…!

Kicker: Uh oh… It looks like we’re gonna have to make a little detour, Arcee. I think Ironhide might need our help.

Arcee: Then I’ll put it in high gear, Kicker!

Kicker: Go for it!

Ironhide: Kicker! Take care of your father.

Kicker: Huh…? Dad, come on! Hurry!

Ironhide: Transform! Kicker, get your dad outta here right now. It’s too dangerous. Take the Energon and go to Primus. I’ll deal with the Terrorcons and Scorponok.

Kicker: All right, buddy. Good luck. I’ll be waiting for ya.

Ironhide: Oversized cockroaches. Rggh! Rgh!

Scorponok: What?!

Ironhide: (VO) My team… He won’t get away with this…

Scorponok: Transform!

Ironhide: Hey, Scorponok, you’ve gone too far and I’ll see that you’ll pay for what you’ve done.

Scorponok: Is that right? Huh. You think all that pent up emotion will give you the extra strength you need?

Ironhide: I’m stronger than you think.

Scorponok: Ha. You’re weak enough to let your fallen comrades cloud your judgement. That’s pathetic.

Ironhide: You have no idea what I’m like. Friends like these are what gives me the strength to go into battle. And when you attacked them, it only makes me stronger and wanna fight that much harder.

Scorponok: I can tell you’ve spent too much time with the humans. You’re getting soft. Listen to yourself, I bet you’d even start crying if you knew how.

Ironhide: Say what?

Scorponok: Your Autobot friends are down. Why don’t you just get over it?

Ironhide: Why you, ugh…

Scorponok: There’s no way you can beat these giant Terrorcons. And even if you’re lucky enough to get by them, you’ll still have to deal with me.

Ironhide: Yeah? I’ll finish you off all by myself and I don’t need anybody else’s help to do it, either!

Scorponok: Ha! Then you’re not that much different than me. At least you understand that in any battle, there can only be one winner.

Ironhide: This fight is between you and me now and you’re gonna lose!

Scorponok: What?! No!

Ironhide: (VO) This is what you get when you mess with Team Ironhide!

Scorponok: Aaahh! Aaaaahh! The pain!

Ironhide: This power’s from them… They gave me their strength. Ugh… Ergh…

Scorponok: Errgghhhhhhh…

Ironhide: Urghh, urghh…

Scorponok: Arrrrggggghhhhh!

Ironhide: Team Ironhide… You came through for me again.

Scorponok: Aargghh…

Ironhide: Transform!

[Transition]

Galvatron: Hahahahahaha! Now that I have the Super Energon then I can clean all the riff-raff out of Cybertron!

Optimus & Omega Supreme: Aaaahh!

Optimus: Ugh…

Galvatron: Hahahahaha! There’s no place like home!

Optimus: We’ve got to lure him outside. This corridor is too narrow for us to fight in.

Omega Supreme: Yes. I agree.

Optimus: Oh no!

Omega Supreme: What’s going on?

Rodimus: Don’t just stand there! The spacebridge should be appearing any minute now! Get ready!

Optimus: But what about Kicker and the others?

Galvatron: Hahaha!

Optimus: Huh?

Galvatron: This is it, Prime! Today it ends. And if I have to destroy all of Cybertron to get rid of you, I will!

[Transition]

Arcee: Transform!

Dr. Jones: I wanted to get to Primus fast, but not that fast.

Sally: Daddy!

Miranda: He’s all right!

Hot Shot: Primus could sure use some Energon right about now.

Ironhide: Transform!

Skyblast Unit A: Transform!

Skyblast Unit B: Transform!

Skyblast Unit C: Transform!

Skyblast Unit D: Transform!

Skyblast Unit E: Transform!

Strongarm Unit A: Transform!

Strongarm Unit B: Transform!

Strongarm Unit C: Transform!

Strongarm Unit D: Transform!

Ironhide: Primus… This is for you. This is the Energon that my team — I mean my friends — fought so hard to bring you. We want you to have it and use it as you wish. Here, take it. I hope that you appreciate it. My friends sacrificed so much.

Kicker: Ironhide, I’ll be okay. I promise.

Dr. Jones: Look! That light there! Primus is expanding the energy of the Energon!

Ironhide: Primus…

Primus: Aahh… Energon… Thank you.

[Transition]

Galvatron: Hahahahahahahaha! I couldn’t have planned this better myself. I see that all the chief Autobots are here, so that makes the job of crushing you easier. I suppose I should thank you, but that’s just not me.

Optimus: You can’t get rid of us that easily. There are still others.

Rodimus: You might think you can wipe us out but as long as there are Decepticons like you in power, there will always be others like us to rise up against you.

Snow Cat: Ahhh, rats. That means no vacation again this year.

Galvatron: And the more you Autobots rise up, the farther down you will fall, until there is no fight left you. And once that happens, you will be where you always belong — slave to the Decepticons. Hahahaha!

Optimus: Hmmm…

Galvatron: What’s wrong, Optimus? It looks like you’re getting red with anger!

Optimus: Omega Supreme, has Primus woken up? Is it possible?

Omega Supreme: Yes. Your Combination Spark is being infused with his energy.

Galvatron: Be quiet! I’m the only one allowed to do the talking around here!

Optimus: Galvatron, do you know what a Combination Spark is?

Galvatron: No, of course not. I’ve never heard of that before.

Optimus: For your information, it’s the way that the Autobots join forces. Powerlinx! Optimus Prime!

Omega Supreme: Omega Supreme!

Optimus: Powerlinx! Optimus Supreme!

Galvatron: Curse you, Optimus Prime!

Optimus: Ugh!

Galvatron: Aaah! Uggh! Aaaaahhh!

Demolishor: Oh no! Galvatron!

Starscream: Next time, Prime!

Demolishor: Ooh, ooh, ooooohh!

Snow Cat: Aaaaahhh! (Yodels.)

Sixshot: Heh. I can’t wait around here all day. With Galvatron gone, this is a perfect opportunity to find out why the Energon grid wouldn’t respond to my commands. Okay, I’ll just access the schematics to the Energon pipeline files like so… What’s this?! Looks like someone’s been busy! Oh, I can use this. Yes, I can use this to my advantage. Well, Galvatron, I think you’ll be needing me after all. Haaahahahahaha!

[Transition]

Scorponok: Huh? Ugh, Terrorcons… What are you doing?! If you can understand me, for the last time, I’m ordering you to the Energon temple! You must obey me and I command you to get back to the temple right now! Hmm? What is this? Hhhh… What have you done to me?!

[Transition]

Ironhide: (Crying)

Kicker: I think I understand why you feel so bad, but now is not the time, bud.

Dr. Jones: No, let him be. It’s hard to be a leader. Ironhide learned a big lesson today. He did a great job.

Kicker: Ironhide, listen. Being the top guy isn’t easy, but you did what you had to do. You protected my dad and showed that you’ve got what it takes. I see a bright future for us all. You’ve got to make it happen. Everyone’s depending on you, buddy. I’m depending on you.

[End]

Episode Notes

-What’s with the episode title? “Ironhide Team?”

-Demolishor being unable to count seems funny to me, partially because of a bit from the episode of Armada, “Miracle.”

Demolishor: That’s it. I’ll give you till the count of three to get off of me.

Scavenger: Like you can count.

Jetfire: Hhh.

Rodimus: Landmine, take Jetfire directly to Ocean City and put him in sickbay with Roadblock.

Landmine: Right. What about you, Rodimus?

Rodimus: I’m heading back through the spacebridge and I’ll catch up with Cliffjumper as soon as I can. I just hope Optimus can punch a hole to get us… out.

Sixshot: This one’s for you, bro…

Superion: Aaah!

Optimus: Superion Maximus, I’m going after Galvatron. You get to Kicker.

Superion: Yes, sir!

Optimus: And good luck. Huh?!

Galvatron: Aaaaaaagggh!

Optimus: Aaaaah! Ugh! Hhh… Galvatron…!

Galvatron: You’re mine, Prime!

Optimus: Eghh! Aaah!

Galvatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha… That’s it… You run, because there’s nothing I like better than to hunt. Galvatron, hyper mode!

Optimus: Huh?

Galvatron: Sayonara! Aaaaaaaaahhhhh…!

Optimus: Yaaaaaaahhh!

Galvatron: Huh?!

Sixshot: Got ‘im.

Optimus: Aaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaahhhh-aaahaahh!

Starscream: Did you destroy Optimus, sir?

Galvatron: That meddling moron will pay for interfering again. Sixshot, how many times have I told you to butt out?! Now you’ve let my arch enemy slip through my grasp a second time! Get Scorponok and Constructicon Maximus to go below and find Prime!

Starscream: Yessir!

Galvatron: Optimus is still alive.

Arcee: May I have your attention… As the train approaches the station, please remain behind the white line at all times — and get ready to eat lead, freaks! Yeaaah! This is a Terrorcon free zone!

Hot Shot: Okay guys, keep your eyes peeled. Two stations to go. Duty calls, Arcee. Let’s get to work.

Arcee: Good afternoon, commuters. I hope you’re having a pleasant day… Not! Haah!

Kicker: Shut it down.

Hot Shot: What’s up, Kicker? This isn’t our last stop.

Kicker: Heh, I know. And I’ll bet you anything the Decepticons are lying in wait for us at the next station. I’ve got a better plan.

Hot Shot: Better?

Arcee: Good point.

Kicker: Hot Shot, contact Optimus.

Hot Shot: But that’ll give away our position!

Kicker: Exactly… Heh, heh.

[Transition]

Optimus: Ugghh, ughh… Ugh, ugh… Huh? Wing Saber… Are you all right? He’s slipped into sleep mode.

Hot Shot: Optimus…

Optimus: Huh?

Hot Shot: Come in, Optimus…

Optimus: Hot Shot! Where are you?

Hot Shot: We’re one stop due south of Central Tower station. Can you meet up with us here?

Optimus: That’s a no-go. Hot Shot, you and Kicker proceed with your orders, all right?

Hot Shot: Aw?

Kicker: What’s holding him up? What is he doing?! Ask him what’s going on over there.

Optimus: Ughh… Just a leg wound, but I’m all right. You go find your family, Kicker.

Kicker: But Optimus…

Optimus: Ugh… You… have to rescue them…

Kicker: Hh.

Omega Supreme: I’ll go.

Hot Shot: Yeah. Good idea.

Arcee: C’mon, Kicker. Let’s roll.

Kicker: Uh… right… He said a leg wound…

Hot Shot: Yeah. So?

Kicker: Hang on, Omega Supreme.

[Transition]

Galvatron: Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh…

[Transition]

Kicker: Okay, here’s the deal. You go on ahead.

Omega Supreme: Where to, Kicker?

Kicker: This tunnel leads to an industrial complex.

Omega Supreme: Industrial complex…

Kicker: There’s something there I want you to take to Optimus.

Omega Supreme: Right.

Kicker: Optimus can be so stubborn. Yes, he’s in charge, but that doesn’t mean he has to go it alone. He’s always putting himself in the line of fire to protect everyone else. It’s time we take care of him. After all, well, he’s kinda like a father to me. You look after him, Omega Supreme.

Omega Supreme: Count on me.

All Three: Yeah!

Doctor: You’ve gotta help us!

Ironhide: Don’t worry, doc. That’s what I’m here for.

Doctor: Hurry! Bulkhead and his men are trapped inside sickbay!

Ironhide: Good, fire at anything that moves, boys!

Downshift: Ironhide, what’s happening on planet Cybertron?

Prowl: Yeah, and what about Rodimus?

Downshift: Where are the Decepticons headed?

Prowl: Yeah, and how’s the Energon grid holding up?

Downshift: What about Kicker?

Prowl: And what about his family?

Downshift: And ya gotta tell us… What about Optimus Prime?

Prowl: What about Optimus Prime?

Ironhide: Uhh… uhh…

Downshift & Prowl: What’s goin’ on?

Ironhide: Aaaaaaaaarrrrrggghhhh…! Would you just shut up and listen?!

Prowl: Huh?

All Three: Aaahahahahahahahahaha! Ironhide!

Red: We love you, big guy!

Blue: You make our spirits fly!

Yellow: And for you we’ll always try!

Ironhide: Aaahahaha, ha, ha, ha, ha…

Downshift: What’s up with them?

Prowl: They must have their wires crossed.

Bulkhead: Anyone seen the nurse…?

Strongarm: Ehh, enough of this silliness. Let’s mine some Energon.

Skyblast: Yeah…

Ironhide: Hey! Where ya goin’?!

[Transition]

Omega Supreme: Hmm. Kicker, I can sense your presence here.

[Transition]

Galvatron: Oh, there you are, Optimus Prime.

Optimus: Eghhh… urghhh… aaah… ahhh…

Galvatron: You’re willing to perish defending your worthless minion?! Hahahahaha! Have it your way.

Optimus: Hhh! Wing Saber! Aaghh…!

Superion: Errrgaaaaaaahhh!

Optimus: Superion!

Superion: Errrr-aaaaaagggghhh! Hhh, hhh, hhh… You and me, got that, Galvatron?!

Galvatron: Why not? I’m an equal opportunity destroyer of Autobots.

Superion: Errrr… Hggh, hghh, hgh!

Galvatron: Ha, ha, ha. Hahahahaha! Is that the best that you can do?

Superion: Hrrrgghh…

Galvatron: Game over! Huh?! Haaah! Ugh!

Starscream: Huh?

Constructicon: Huh?

Scorponok: Aaah!

Optimus: Yes! Just in time! Blast them!

Omega Supreme: Now it’s personal! Yaaaaahhh!

Optimus: Omega Supreme! Optimus Prime, Powerlinx! Fire-1, combine! Copter-2, combine! Digger-3, combine! Submarine-4! Optimus Prime, Powerlinx complete!

Galvatron: You… pathetic excuse for a soldier!

Optimus: Yaah!

Galvatron: Urgh!

Optimus: Urgh!

Galvatron: Aaaaahh! Urrgh, ugh!

Optimus: Kicker, this one’s for you!

Kicker: Hh!

Arcee: You sense that?

Kicker: Yeah, big time.

Hot Shot: My tracking device says we’re almost there. Get ready.

Kicker: Let’s do it!

Scorponok: Keep firing!

Wing Saber: Hrgh, urghh, urghh…

Starscream: Huraaaahhh!

Omega Supreme: Hrgh! Huh? Superion!

Superion: Huh?

Omega Supreme: I’m on my way! Transform! Omega Supreme!

Superion: Huh? Thanks, Omega Supreme!

Starscream: Hehehehehahahaha… Yaaahh — aaahh! Urghh!

Galvatron: Curse you, Optimus Prime! Come… and get me!

Optimus: Hrrrrrgh…

Galvatron: Urgh! A valiant try, Prime, but you… lose. Ergh!

Optimus: Aah! Ugh!

Galvatron: Hahahahahahahahaha… I hope you have health insurance, Prime. Scorponok!

Scorponok: Yessir! Terrorcons, attack!

Galvatron: Your move, Prime… And it will be your last.

[Transition]

Kicker: I can still smell Mom’s cooking.

Arcee / Hot Shot: Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

Kicker: The place is abandoned. They must’ve bolted.

Hot Shot: Like where? The control room, maybe?

Kicker: No. Probably… to the core.

Hot Shot: Then let’s blast a path through these creeps.

Kicker: Right! Huh? What was that?!

Galvatron: What are you waiting for, Prime?! I suppose it really doesn’t matter.

Optimus: Urrrgaaaggghh…

Galvatron: You see, things have been going my way lately; what with me stealing planet Cybertron from the humans and you a helpless Autobot awaiting obliteration at my hands… Sooner or later, someone will find your smoldering mainframe and when they do, I’ll be lying in wait to give them their just desserts. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! So, Optimus Prime, are you ready to admit defeat?

Optimus: Uggghhh…

Galvatron: Sadly for you, it seems today is your day of reckoning.

Ironhide: Not if I can help it!

Optimus: Huh?

Ironhide: Looks like today is your day of reckoning, Galvatron! I’m sick and tired of always battling scum like you, so this is where it ends!

Galvatron: Ugh.

Ironhide: And Team Ironhide is here for backup!

Team Ironhide: Yeah!

Galvatron: Fools! How dare you challenge me! Terrorcons, attack! What?!

Bulkhead: I just love Terrorcon hunting season! Transform! Bulkhead, Powerlinx!

Downshift: Downshift, transform!

Bulkhead: Shall we?

Downshift: Let’s do it!

Galvatron: Fire! Everyone, fire! That’s it! Playtime is over, Prime!

Optimus: Not a chance!

Ironhide: Give Optimus a boost!

Strongarm: One Energon star comin’ up!

Skyblast: Wing Saber! Time for a little pick-me-up!

Wing Saber: Ahh. Ahhh.

Optimus: Thanks, Ironhide. I needed that.

Ironhide: Heh, heh, heh, heh…

Optimus: You know what to do, Wing Saber.

Wing Saber: Right.

Galvatron: Mrgh. Mrgh. Mrggh.

Optimus: Optimus Prime!

Wing Saber: Wing Saber!

Optimus & Wing Saber: Powerlinx!

Optimus: Optimus Prime, Powerlinx complete!

Galvatron: Errrraaaggghh!

Optimus: Meteor attack mode!

Galvatron: Errrrrgghhh…!

Starscream: Galvatron! No!

Galvatron: Ugh… ugh… uggghh… ugh. Hhh. Curse you, Optimus Prime. Ugh… ugh. Ha, ha, ha, hahahahaha… Nicely done, my friend, but you caught me off guard for the last time. And remember, I control Cybertron!

Optimus: What? Ironhide!

Ironhide: Huh?! Pull back, men! It’s Energon gas!

Galvatron: You’re too late for that. Come in, Sixshot! Sixshhhoooot!

Sixshot: Hmm.

Galvatron: Why that — arghh — insolent fool! Mirage! Demolishor! Snow Cat! Where are you?

Snow Cat: (Yodels.)

Demolishor: (Makes ape noises.)

Dr. Jones: Okay, just remember to be careful, fellas. One slip and we’re done like dinner.

Galvatron: What do those bumbling boneheads think they’re doing? Incompetent idiots. I need backup and I need it now.

Bulkhead: What’s wrong, Galvatron? Your men desert you?

Galvatron: Why you old fool…

Starscream: Galvatron, wait! You’ve got to give complete control back to Sixshot, sir. Otherwise, we won’t be able to destroy planet Cybertron!

Galvatron: Errr… Scorponok, you’re incharge here now.

Bulkhead: Ya think it’s a trap?

Optimus: No, I think Galvatron’s just having a little control issue.

Omega Supreme: Talk about having a bad day.

Optimus: Yeah.

[Transition]

Miranda & Sally: Hhh…

Kicker: Mom! Sally!

Miranda & Sally: Huh?

Sally: Kicker! Kicker! So, what took you so long anyway, huh?!

Kicker: Sorry… Hey, where’s Dad and Rad?

[Transition]

Snow Cat & Demolishor: Aaaaahh!

Dr. Jones: Ohhh! Ohh, agh, hey! I told you twits to be more careful! Don’t you realize I’m just a human. You can’t be tossing me around like a ragdoll. Aaaaahh, that’s smarts!

Demolishor: So now what?

Snow Cat: We go back to Galvatron and get powered up!

Dr. Jones: Hey! Come back here! Huh?

Snow Cat: (Yodels.)

Demolishor: (Makes ape noises.)

Dr. Jones: Great. Now what am I supposed to do? Hey! Now’s my chance to escape from them!

[Transition]

Sixshot: Aaaaggghhh! Ughh.

Galvatron: That’s what you get for ignoring me, Sixshot!

Starscream: Galvatron! Somehow the Energon grid seems to be locked, which means we can’t stop the Autobots from attacking!

Galvatron: What?! Huh?

Sixshot: Aaaaahahahahaha! Awww, poor Galvatron. Looks like you need me to control the planet, doesn’t it?! Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahaha!

Galvatron: Errrrrrrr….!

[Transition]

Snow Cat: (Yodels.)

Demolishor: (Makes ape noises.)

Snow Cat: Are you ready to take a dip and get powered up, Demolishor?

Demolishor: Heheh, yeah!

Snow Cat: Are ya ready?!

Demolishor: Ready…

Snow Cat & Demolishor: Power up!

Demolishor: I’m scared…

Snow Cat: Don’t be. On the count of three…

Demolishor & Snow Cat: One… two… three… Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Q-1: I wonder what Demolishor and Snow Cat saw in there.

Q-2: Who knows?

Q-3: At least Kicker managed to rescue his mother and sister.

Q-1: Thank goodness for that.

Q-3: And now planet Cybertron is about to pass through the spacebridge.

Q-1: Hooray for small victories.

Q-2: What will the Autobot warriors do?

Q-1: Fight with all your might!

“The Omega Train” – Episode 45
Written by Voicebox Productions

–
Rodimus: Pile that debris over here and hurry! Time is not on our side, gentlemen!

Jetfire: I hate to question your tactics, Rodimus, but why are we on garbage detail? All this junk wouldn’t stop a fly, nevermind an incoming planet.

Rodimus: Maybe you’re right, but we didn’t come all the way up here to waste time questioning our orders. I’m just hoping this barrier will help slow down Cybertron before… it gets up to the space bridge!

Jetfire: Like that’ll happen.

Rodimus: Well Jetfire, that’s the plan. We just need to distract Galvatron’s attention long enough for Optimus and the others to make it to Central City.

Jetfire: Yeah, and if they don’t…

Rodimus: Optimus Prime has never let us down. …And I know this will be no exception.

[Transition]

Kicker: Aww, c’mon! What’s taking you guys so long?

Optimus, Ironhide & Hot Shot: Transform!

Hot Shot: Just relax, Kicker!

Omega Supreme: The Energon gas may not have effected you, but it has hindered our abilities.

Superion: Aww, and these underground routes are a complete maze!

Ironhide: It’ll take us days to get to Central City.

Optimus: We haven’t got days. We’ve gotta stick it out and keep going!

Ironhide: You’re right, Optimus.

Optimus: Hurry!

Superion: Constructicon and Bruticus Maximus followed us!

Optimus: We don’t have time to waste on them. Let’s roll!

Autobots: Transform!

Kicker: Ironhide, remind them who they’re dealing with!

Ironhide: Okay!

Constructicon: Oh no! Errghh…!

Kicker: Great. There’s more up ahead!

Optimus: Return fire!

Autobots: Transform!

Ironhide: I thought he said… not to shoot?

Optimus: Huh?

Wing Saber: Hold your fire! Everyone, hold your fire!

Optimus: Hang on, men! Cease fire!

Ironhide: Optimus…?

Optimus: They’re not the enemy.

Ironhide: Uhhh… Hey, it’s Wing Saber. What’s he doing here?

Wing Saber: Don’t fire, it’s Optimus and the rest of the Autobots!

Generic Autobot A: Optimus Prime…

Generic Autobot B: As in ‘the’ Optimus Prime! The one who defeated Unicron!

Generic Autobot C: He’s come to get us outta here!

Wing Saber: I’m so sorry, Optimus. I don’t know what I was thinking. I had no idea it was you!

Optimus: No need to apologize, Wing Saber. You’ve done a great job rounding up warriors and holding down the fort. Excellent leadership.

Wing Saber: Uh, leadership? Uh, huh-huh… Really? Uhh, thank you very much, sir.

Red: What the? Hhh! Get up here guys, it’s Optimus.

Blue: Well, what’s the racket? Why all the fuss?

Yellow: Hey, you’re right! It’s Optimus.

Red: The Autobots are here.

Blue: It must be severe.

Yellow: There’s nothing to fear with the Autobots here.

Red: You guys, don’t look now, but I think I see Ironhide!

Blue: Not him, your circuits are fried.

Yellow: Sure it’s him, it can’t be denied.

Red: Hoo-hoo, what a delight.

Blue: What a treat.

Yellow: This is really neat.

Ironhide: Huh? I have fans?

Kicker: You know them?

Ironhide: No… But I’ll get to know them.

Kicker: Oh, brother.

Ironhide: (Whispering) Don’t mind him.

Red: Whatever you say!

Blue: Yeah, it’s your call!

Yellow: What a wild day! And to think… we meet our hero, in the heat of battle.

Blue: There’s worse.

Red: Small universe.

Yellow: Ironhide, are you leading this team mission?

Blue: ‘Cause if you are…

Red: We’d be a nice addition!

All Three: It would be a dream to join your team!

Ironhide: Aaahahahahahaha! You guys crack me up! Hahahaha!

Kicker: Eghh!

All Three: Hey, you stop it! That’s not very nice!

Kicker: Who’s that?!

Ironhide: There’s no rest for a hero.

Wing Saber: Optimus, we’ve got an underground hideout. If you want, I can show you where it is. We’ll be safe there.

Kicker: Ughhh!

Optimus: Right! Let’s move!

[Transition]

Galvatron: (Snoring)

Sixshot: Agghh, where in the universe is Optimus hiding?!

Galvatron: Ahh, ahh. Hey, Sixshot…

Sixshot: Galvatron-sir!

Galvatron: You deceitful brat. So, you thought I was sleeping, and you start your own little project.

Sixshot: Eghh, no! Wrong side of the bed, or what?

Galvatron: Sorry, I missed that, Sixshot. Just like you missed the orders I gave to clear the spacebridge. I dose off for half a second and you’ve gone and locked your own little recon mission. Gahh, you’re just like that idiot brother of yours, Shockblast. He was never bright enough to do as he was told, so before you head down the same path, you better start learning from his mistakes. Unless, of course, you want to end up like him! Yes, I didn’t think so. Now forget about Optimus and get this planet through that warp gate pronto!

Sixshot: Yeah, right. You wish…

Galvatron: What did you say?

Sixshot: I said — ahh, as you wish, Galvatron… commander… sir…

[Transition]

Wing Saber: These are our co-ordinates. In this area here, in the region south of Central City is where we think Galvatron may have Dr. Jones and the others.

Optimus: Hmm… The Decepticon base.

Wing Saber: No doubt they’ll find a strong opposition guarding the area, but there’s no indication of the size of their force.

Red: Those Decepticons are worthless. There’s no way we’ll get caught! We’ve got Ironhide, and he’s the toughest Autobot ever.

Ironhide: Heh, well… I don’t know about ever, but… I’ve had my moments.

Red: We heard all about your big debut — having searched all of space to find Alpha Q.

Blue: And how you totally clocked Scorponok.

Yellow: Yeah, but the way you fought against Unicron… Ohh.

Ironhide: Heh, heh, heh…

All Three: There’s nothing to fear now that Ironhide’s here!

Ironhide: Heheh, I love you guys! But seriously, part of being a great hero means thinking of your teammates aswell. Kicker’s whole family is in real danger right now.

Red: Kicker’s family?!

Blue: In danger?!

Yellow: Uh oh!

Red: Well, what are we waiting for guys? Let’s go rescue them!

Blue: This is an issue we can’t ignore. They can’t wait anymore.

[Transition]

Dr. Jones: Eerrrgghhh! Urgghhh!

Rad: Dr. Jones… There’s gotta be an easier way to get to Primus from here, don’t you think?

Dr. Jones: I doubt it, Rad! This is the secret tunnel where Kicker found Primus when he was a kid!

Rad: Here. Let me take over.

Dr. Jones: Ahh. No arguments here. My back’s killing me.

Rad: Ergghhhh…!

Dr. Jones: It’s not gonna be easy to jack that thing up. Aaaahhh!

Rad: No! Dr. Jones! Hhh, hhh, aaaaahhh!

Dr. Jones: Hrghh, uggh… I told you Primus was down here…

Rad: Yup, you called it! Aaaah!

Dr. Jones: Ugghh.

Dr. Jones & Rad: Aaaaaahhhhhh….! Huh? Aaaaahhhh! Ugh!

Rad. Thanks for the pillowy-soft landing, Primus. You might wanna give us a little warning.

Dr. Jones: He can’t hear you. He’s sleeping.

Dr. Jones & Rad: Aaah!

Rad: Oh no! They’ve found us!

Demolishor: So this is where the party is.

Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Looks like you losers are caught again! Haha!

Demolishor: Look up there! That must be the Super Energon.

Snow Cat: What’s that, buddy? It’s not Super Energon? It’s what’s left of Cybertron’s regular supply?

Demolishor: Huh. Like you can even understand what that Terrorcon just said. Huh.

Snow Cat: I can. We have a connection.

Mirage: Baaahh, Starscream tricked us… Or maybe it’s some kind of scavenger hunt.

Demolishor & Snow Cat: Hahahaha!

Snow Cat: We found the first clue! We found the first clue! Oh man, I love riddles! (Yodels.)

Rad: What do we do, Dr. Jones?

Dr. Jones: We can’t let them nab the both of us, so I’ll play along with their scavenger hunt idea, while you try to wake up Primus.

Snow Cat: Hey, what are you humans whispering about? I bet you know where the next clue is! Take us to it!

Dr. Jones: As you wish.

Rad: Dr. Jones!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Okay, Mirage. You stay here and guard!

Mirage: Me? Why me?!

Snow Cat: Because you’re the smartest.

Mirage: I’m smart enough to know you’re full of lies!

Snow Cat: Shhh… The kid might drop some more clues.

Mirage: Now I’m the babysitter too?

Snow Cat: Don’t worry, Mirage. As soon as we get all the clues, we’ll be back for you.

Mirage: Promise?

Snow Cat: Yeah, sure.

Mirage: You promise, right? You’re not just saying that. Thanks a lot, kid!

Rad: Don’t look at me. You think I wanna hang out with you? Er, not that you don’t… look like fun.

[Transition]

Galvatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! That’s the barrier? There’s no way! That hep of junk couldn’t stop a fly!

Sixshot: As you wish, Galvatron-sir. Preparing the fire up the Energon grid.

Galvatron: Lovely, now blast that trash to pieces. Not that it’s much of an obstacle, but I want those Autobots to know who’s in charge!

Rodimus: Okay, here they come.

Jetfire: Defense ready?

Cliffjumper & Landmine: Yessir!

[Transition]

Optimus: All soldiers gather ’round for briefing! Wing Saber and Superion Maximus, you’ll leave the hideout with me. We’ll distract the Decepticons. Kicker, while we’re keeping the enemy busy, you, Omega Supreme and Hot Shot will head for Central City. You’ve got to rescue your family. Ironhide, I want you to act as an operative to lead the Omnicons in a rescue mission for Bulkhead and the others. You got that, soldier?

Ironhide: I get my own team? My very — own — team?! Uhh but, Optimus-sir, do you really think I’m ready to be a leader?

Optimus: I know you can do this, Ironhide.

Red: Way to go, big guy!

Blue: Let’s do it!

Yellow: Hit after hit, till they submit!

Red: We’re Team Ironhide!

Blue & Yellow: And we’re supreme!

All Three: Team Ironhide, we’re supreme! Team Ironhide, we’re supreme!

Optimus: Ironhide…

Ironhide: Yeah?

Optimus: Your value as a warrior isn’t something you decide on your own. Infact, even my confidence as commander sometimes waivers. But I am still commander, and I’m only successful because I have a superb team to support me. And now you have these Omnicons, who trust you. You have what it takes to lead this team, Ironhide.

Red: That’s right, big guy!

Blue: We’re here for you.

Yellow: We’ll stand true!

Red: We’re ready!

Blue: We’re steady!

Yellow: Let’s rock!

Hot Shot: If you guys are gonna do your best, then we will too!

Kicker: Great attitude, guys. My family will thank you.

Red: What did you say?

Blue: Will you lead our team?

Yellow: Build our esteem?

Ironhide: I’ll do it! Autobots, away!

Kicker: That’s Ironhide for ya!

All Three: Ehh!

Kicker: Egh…

Ironhide: It’s okay, guys. Kicker’s my partner.

Red: Whoa, Ironhide, you’re so tough!

Blue: And buff!

Yellow: And so rugged, heh.

Red: And that’s why you’re the best.

Blue: Better than the rest!

Yellow: And you’ve got zest, heh!

Ironhide: Yeah.

Hot Shot: Hahahahaha!

Kicker: Hahahahaha!

Ironhide: Hahahahaha!

Omega: Impressive show of leadership, Optimus.

Optimus: Huh?

Omega: You instilled confidence in him. Now he’ll be able to go into action without questioning his abilities.

Team Ironhide, Kicker & Hot Shot: Team Ironhide is supreme! You can’t stop the Autobots!

Optimus: Okay, everyone! It’s go time. Let’s do this right.

[Transition]

Bruticus: Well…?

Scorponok: They didn’t come this way.

Bruticus: Then where are they, Scorponok?

Optimus: Right here!

Scorponok: Optimus!

Optimus: Ahhh. Wing Saber!

Wing Saber: Right!

Optimus: Optimus Prime!

Wing Saber: Wing Saber.

Optimus & Wing Saber: Powerlinx!

Optimus: Powerlinx complete!

Constructicon: Fire!

Scorponok: Transform!

Optimus: Huh?

Scorponok: Gotcha!

[Transition]

Sixshot: I found ’em. I found ’em. I found ’em, sir. I found Optimus.

Galvatron: Errrghhh, aaah! You continue to disobey me! You stupid tin can! Didn’t you learn anything from our little heart-to-heart?!

Sixshot: I did, sir. But this is our chance to bring Optimus down to his knees.

Galvatron: I told you to clear a path to the spacebridge. Now get over there and aim the Energon grid that way, now!

Sixshot: Eh, but, sir!

Galvatron: Of course I want to bring down, Optimus, you idiot! That’s been my cause since I’ve came into being! However, right now my orders to you are to get this planet through that gate! Where’s Starscream?! I’ll send him out to take care of Optimus! He’ll obey me. I know he will! If I didn’t have to stay in here and keep an eye on you, I could deal with Optimus myself!

Sixshot: Ugggghh… Urgghh…!

[Transition]

Optimus: Not too fast, Superion Maximus. We’ve got to keep those guys on our tails until Ironhide and Kicker are at a safe distance! Aaahh!

Superion: Optimus! Are you okay? Huh?

Optimus: Aghh… Ugghh! Huh?!

Starscream: Arggghhh!

Optimus: Arggghh…!

Starscream: Optimus Prime, you don’t have what it takes to defeat the new-and-improved me! Yahhh! Eraaah! Erghh. Rauggghh…!

Optimus: He is stronger…

Starscream: Raugh… It’s not gonna be that easy, Optimus! Hahahahahahaha!

[Transition]

Strongarm: Things are intense out here. Optimus and Starscream are fully engaged in battle and Scorponok’s gone after Superion Maximus. They’re keeping the Decepticons busy in the air!

Omega: Okay, Kicker. That’s our cue.

Kicker: Gotcha! We are busting into Central City, and we will free Cybertron!

Autobots: Aww yeah! Woohoo!

[Transition]

Ironhide: This is the real deal, fellas. Stay with me.

All Three: Action time! Action time! Action time! Action time! …Huh? Aaaah…! Aaaaaahhhh!

Ironhide: Get a grip. Optimus and the others are acting as decoys for us, remember? Those Decepticons don’t even know we’re down here. Chill out.

Red: Ironhide… I’ve never been in a real battle…

Blue: Me neither…

Yellow: My nerves are rattled!

Ironhide: I understand. Sometimes, even I get scared or confused during a big battle too. It’s natural.

Red: You do? Then how do you always look so pro?

Blue: How do you do it?

Yellow: ‘Cause if you are nervous, it never shows!

Ironhide: I fake it! That’s right, boys, that’s my motto! Fake it till ya make it! Heh.

Red: You what?!

Blue & Yellow: He what?!

Ironhide: I’m a winner. Now you try!

Red: I’m good.

Blue: I’m great…

Yellow: I’m the best…?

Ironhide: That’s right. If I keep telling myself that over and over, I get so courageous that I can confront anything at all, no matter how scary it is.

Red: I’m great!

Blue: I’m greater!

Yellow: I’m the greatest!

Strongarm: Oh, brother. As if one Ironhide’s not enough.

Skyblast: Yeah, no kiddin’.

Red: I’m swell!

Blue: I’m cool! Heheha…

Yellow: I’m a rebel!

Red: I rule!

Blue: I’m neat!

Yellow: Actually, I feel like I can do anything and not be beat!

All Three: Who’s team are we?

Red: All together!

Skyblast & Strongarm: Huh?! Us?! There’s no way!

All Three: Team Ironhide! We’re supreme! We’re Team Ironhide! C’mon, let’s go! Aaaahhhh!

Red: C’mon! You can dish it, but you can’t take it! Haha! Nooo, nooo! Autobots, we’re Team Ironhide!

Blue: Woohoo!

Constructicon: What’s going on down there?

All Three: Aaaaahhhh! Don’t mess with the best, don’t fool with the cool! Don’t mess with the best, don’t fool with the cool! Don’t mess with the best!

Constructicon: Ahh…!

Kicker: According to Wing Saber, there should be a tunnel up ahead leading straight to Central City.

Omega: A station… I’ve got an idea.

Decepticon A: Fire at will, boys!

Omega: Transform! If there is a station up ahead, then this way’s faster.

Hot Shot: Omega Supreme! Wait up!

Generic Decepticons: Aaahh!

Kicker: Sweet move, Omega!

Omega: Hurry!

Hot Shot: All aboard that’s goin’ aboard!

Kicker: Ridin’ in style!

Hot Shot: No free ride for you guys.

Generic Decepticons: Aaahh!

Omega: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…

Kicker: Full speed ahead, Omega Train! Woohoo!

Bruticus: Oh, no you don’t! Ahhh, ahh, ahh, ah, ahhhhhhaaah!

[Transition]

Omnicons: Yeaaahh!

Omnicon A: The Omega Train and Team Ironhide have made it out of the city.

[Transition]

Starscream: Errraahhhh!

Optimus: Ugh! That’s it! Our job is done here, Superion! Now for part B. We need to meet up with Kicker.

Superion: Yessir!

Scorponok: Get back here! Cowards!

Sixshot: Ahh! There he is. I found Optimus again. You creep. Eggh!

Galvatron: You idiot!

Optimus: Oh no!

Optimus & Superion: Aaaaaahhhhh!

Galvatron: You moron! Are you disobeying me again?! All you had to do is push this one little button, you complete imbecile!

Sixshot: Egh…

Optimus & Superion: Aaarrrrgghhhh!

Optimus: Ughhh… What was that?

Rodimus: Huh?!

Autobots: Eggghhhhh!

Rodimus: Hang on, men! You can do it! Don’t give up!

Galvatron: Hahahaha! Take a look, Sixshot. We’re almost there. The planet will soon be blasting through space! Hahahahahaha!

Jetfire: Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!

Cliffjumper: Aaahhh…! Huh?

Autobots: Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

Galvatron: Hahahaha! Hahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahaha! It’s happening! We’re finally on our way! Hahahaha, hahahaha!

Q-1: Planet Cybertron has passed through the spacebridge?! And Galvatron has totally lost his marbles!

Q-2: What could he have up his sleeve this time?! What will the future bring for us?!

Q-1: Yes, and Optimus and his men managed to stave off the Decepticons?

Q-2: Who knows?! Ahhh-ahh-ahh-ah…

Q-3: Will Kicker be able to reach his family in time to rescue them?

Q-2: Oh, and what if Ironhide’s emblazoned ego gets in the way of the mission?

Q-1: So many questions!

Q-3: But I’m afraid we’re all out of time…

Q-2: That’s a wrap.

Qs: Tune in next time!

Galvatron: Your attention, men. Before you watch this, I strongly suggest you turn on the lights in here.

Snow Cat: Hey, uh, how’d you do that?!

[Transition]

Blonde Girl: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing in the red corner, Rodimus and Hot Shot!

Rodimus & Hot Shot: Hahahaha…

Redhead Girl: And in the blue corner, their opponents, Mirage and the giant big thingy!

Mirage: Would everyone rise and bow down to the greatest warrior of all time…

Tidal Wave: I am Tidal Wave!

Hot Shot: What?! That monster is Tidal Wave?!

Rodimus: Don’t be intimidated, Hot Shot.

Mirage: Are you ready, my friend?

Tidal Wave: Transform!

Mirage: That’s right, friends, the old and the new me!

Rodimus: Looks like it’s showtime.

Hot Shot: Let’s do this, Rodimus!

Girls: Let the virtual games begin! We have a winner!

Hot Shot: Hey! No way! We hardly even touched ’em!

Rodimus: Yeah.

Tidal Wave: Hey, did somebody get the number of that bus? Tidal Wave….

Blonde Girl: Would you please give it up for the winners of flight A, Rodimus and his grimmy partner Hot Shot! Oh yeah, I hope you don’t thik I was picking favourites or anything.

Redhead Girl: You can have your scrawny old Hot Shot. Personally, I’ve got my eye on Galvatron.

Q-2: What’s going on?!

Q-1: It’s some sort of virtual training program the Autobots play inside their barracks!

Q-2: Did you see the size of the old Tidal Wave?

Q-3: Huh. I hate to say this, but it’s like TV wrestling. You can’t tell what’s real and what’s not.

Q-2: Are you saying that the big brute Tidal Wave is a fake?

Q-3: Who knows?

Q-1: Then why are we wasting our time watching them?!

Q-3: Good question.

Q-2: I do so like to watch!

Q-1: I think this is all a bunch of frivilous fluff! Change the channel!

Q-2: No-ho-ho-hooo!

Redhead Girl: All right! Time to start the battle in flight B! In the red corner, it’s Cliffjumper and Landmine!

Blonde Girl: And it’s Optimus Prime and Wing Saber!

Cliffjumper: Hey Wing Saber, I sure hope you’re feeling lucky today, ’cause you’re going to need it. Heh.

Landmine: Zip it, Cliffjumper. You’ll only make them mad.

Cliffjumper: Don’t tell me to zip it, Landmine! And besides, I’m tough enough to back up my trash talk! Got it?!

Landmine: I got it.

Cliffjumper: Hey Optimus… You’re not planning on hurting us, are you?

Optimus: Try me!

Wing Saber: Let’s not fool around, Optimus. Let’s Powerlinx!

Optimus: Right! Optimus Prime!

Wing Saber: Wing Saber!

Optimus & Wing Saber: Powerlinx!

Optimus: Powerlinx complete! Meteor Storm Attack!

Cliffjumper: Hey! We’re not ready!

Landmine: Aaah!

Cliffjumper: Aaah!

[Transition]

Blonde Girl: Without further ado, it’s battle number three! And this one’s a heavyweight battle between Jetfire and Ironhide…

Redhead Girl: And it’s Scorponok and… Uhhh?

Q-1: Is everyone ready for this?!

Q-2: Meee!

Ironhide: It’s Alpha Q!

Jetfire: Relax, Ironhide! Alpha Q’s not programmed to fight. This’ll be a sinch.

Ironhide: But…!

Q-1: So, ready to wrestle? Hahaha.

Scorponok: Don’t poke me. Can’t you see I’m trying to concentrate here, Alpha Q?

Q-2: Hehehe.

Jetfire: Okay, Ironhide. It’s go time.

Ironhide: Uhh. Ironhide!

Jetfire: Jetfire!

Ironhide: Powerlinx! Ironhide, Powerlinx! Urghh. Ready or not, here I come!

Scorponok: Bring it on!

Scorponok & Ironhide: Aaaahh…!

Ironhide: You have enough yet, huh? Aaah, uggh! Aww, come on, Scorponok. Is that all you got?

Scorponok: Ha, ha… A wise guy, eh? Well, let’s see you handle this!

Ironhide: Whoaaa!

Ironhide & Scorponok: Urgghhh…

Blonde Girl: Okay folks, this might take a while, so let’s move on to our next battle.

Redhead Girl: Yeah!

[Transition]

Q-3: But when’s it my turn, hmmm?!

[Transition]

Redhead Girl: The excitement never stops as we get set for our fourth battle! Introducing in the blue corner, the rookie Sixshot and his brother Shockblast!

Blonde Girl: Up against the always tough clone Autobots, the Infernos! The old and the new!

Shockblast: Just hearing your name, Inferno, makes me want to smash in your mainframe!

Sixshot: Shockblast, I can’t believe what a wicked job they did putting you back together again. Right down to the last digital detail.

Shockblast: Would you quit your yapping?! Errrr…

Sixshot: It warms me inside to know that you’re back in action, bro. And here I thought this day would never come.

Inferno & Roadblock: Whenever you’re ready, ladies, because we’re waiting!

Shockblast: So am I.

Sixshot: Easy, fellas. We got all day. Say, why don’t we start off by shaking hands?

Shockblast: My brother the moron.

Sixshot: Well?

Inferno & Roadblock: Aaaahh!

Sixshot: Shockblast, why did you go and do that for, bro? And here I was hoping to have a nice, clean fight. Haha.

Blonde Girl: Okay folks, time to go to our other battle still in progress.

Snow Cat: Jeepers, Demolishor. Looks like some kind of training exercise is going on here.

Demolishor: Yeah, looks exciting. Huh-huh-hoo-hoo.

Snow Cat: Well, hello good lookin’! So what do you want us to do?

Blonde Girl: You two have been invited to join in the greatest tag team tournament ever!

Snow Cat: Aww, that’s too much like work, but then again, maybe there’s some nifty prizes! And the competition looks pretty lame… Hahaha!

Prowl: Huh? Take a look, Downshift, it’s those two Decepticon doofuses. If we Powerlinx, we can take care of them in no time flat, pal.

Downshift: They might be doofuses, but they’re still Decepticons.

Prowl: Whaa? Gimme a break. (On-going underneath other dialogue) You’ve gotta be kidding! I could take them with half my hydraulics shut down!

Snow Cat: Wow, it almost looks like they’re married.

Redhead Girl: It looks like this battle’s not going to happen! So while they argue about their differences, whaddya say we start the next round! Introducing in the red corner, we have Constructicon Maximus and Bruticus Maximus! And in the blue corner, Superion Maximus! Oh, and Constructicon and Bruticus brought along a few of their friends with them!

Constructicon & Bruticus: Transform!

Constructicon: Transform! Powerlinx! Constructicon Maximus!

Bruticus: Transform! Powerlinx! Bruticus Maximus!

Superion: Transform! Transform! Powerlinx! Superion Maximus!

Constructicon: Hghhh.

Bruticus: Hnnn.

Superion: Aaah.

Bruticus: You might want to consider surrendering, Superion Maximus, because we have you totally outnumbered! Heh, heh!

Constructicon: What’s the matter, cat got your tongue?!

Superion: Hrrrrgh.

Redhead Girl: Gentlemen! Start your servos!

All three: Hrrrrgghhh…!

[Transition]

Mirage: I love the smell of fried circuit boards in the morning.

[Transition]

Scorponok: Scorponok, attack!

Ironhide: Aaaah! Nice try Scorp-o-nuts, but it’s too little, too late!

Scorponok: Aaah!

[Transition]

Jetfire: Way to go, Ironhide! Looks like one down!

[Transition]

Prowl: Remember, Downshift, stick to the plan.

Downshift: Plan…?

Prowl: Powerlinx! Prowl!

Downshift: Downshift!

Prowl & Downshift: Powerlinx!

Prowl: Prowl, Powerlinx complete!

Downshift: Wait just a second… Hey, how did I end up down here?

Snow Cat: Well, do they want to fight us or not?

Demolishor: Who knows? Heh, heh.

Snow Cat: Hey, hang on. Didn’t they just Powerlinx? So why don’t we, Demolishor?

Demolishor: Hh. You’re so smart, Snow Cat!

Snow Cat: Yeah! It’s a gift! Snow Cat!

Demolishor: Demolishor!

Snow Cat & Demolishor: Powerlinx!

[Transition]

Snow Cat: Uhh, Demolishor? I don’t think this is right.

[Transition]

Blonde Girl: Okay, it’s now onto the second battle in flight A. Would you all please give it up for Rodimus and Hot Shot, the winners from our very first round of competition! Against the big cheese himself, Optimus and Wing Saber!

Wing Saber: All right, Optimus-sir! Let’s Powerlinx!

Optimus: Right. Optimus Prime!

Wing Saber: Wing Saber!

Optimus & Wing Saber: Powerlinx!

Optimus: Powerlinx complete! Well, this should be short and painless!

Rodimus & Hot Shot: No way, Optimus-sir!

Optimus: That’s my name! Now, are you men ready?

[Transition]

Optimus: Well don’t just stand there!

[Transition]

Sixshot: So, it looks like we’re up against you boys next, huh?

Shockblast: Yeah!

Ironhide: Look, it’s Shockblast!

Jetfire: Relax, Ironhide! It’s only a virtual Shockblast. Remember, this is only a training program.

Ironhide: Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that.

Shockblast: Aaah… Let me at those losers!

Sixshot: Take it easy, bro.

Jetfire: Okay, Ironhide. You ready?

Ironhide: Yeah… suuure.

Jetfire: Jetfire!

Ironhide: Ironhide…

Jetfire & (a nervous) Ironhide: Powerlinx!

Jetfire: Jetfire, Powerlinx! Yahh… Aaargggghhh… huh? Aaah, aaah, aahh…

Sixshot: Heh. Yeah, they don’t call me Shockblast’s little bro for nothing. If you boys are looking for more, there’s plenty where that came from! Later!

Jetfire: Ugghhh!

[Transition]

Ironhide: Jetfire… Jetfire!

Jetfire: I’m all right.

[Transition]

Snow Cat: Boy, and I thought I was stupid!

Demolishor: Yeah, so did I! Huh-huh-huh-huh…

Snow Cat: So uh, who we up against next?

Blonde Girl: Your next opponents are waiting in the staging area to your left, gentlemen.

Snow Cat: Uh, let’s say we have a look-see.

Superion: Hrggh! Hrggh!

Bruticus: Hahahahahaha! Aaah. Raggh! Yaah!

Superion: Urgghh! Raugghh!

Constructicon: Yaaah!

Superion: Aaah! Ahhh… Ugghh!

Constructicon: Ha, ha, ha, ha! Hahahahaha!

[Transition]

Bulkhead: Aw, gee whiz. I never saw that comin’.

[Transition]

Optimus: Yaah-aaaahh!

Hot Shot & Rodimus: Ohhh…

Optimus: Hahahahaha!

Hot Shot: Urgghh.

Rodimus: Ohh…

Optimus: You boys wanna go again?

Hot Shot & Rodimus: Ughh…

Rodimus: Hot Shot! Let’s Powerlinx!

Hot Shot: Right!

Rodimus: Rodimus!

Hot Shot: Hot Shot!

Rodimus & Hot Shot: Powerlinx!

Rodimus: Rodimus, Powerlinx! Ugh. Rrrghhhh…

Optimus: Huh?

Optimus: Aaargghhhhh…

Rodimus: Ughhhh…

Optimus: Nice right hook, Rodimus. Yahhrghhhhh…!

Rodimus: And don’t you go around thinking it was a lucky punch either, Optimus!

Snow Cat & Demolishor: Hahahahahahaha…

Demolishor: Gee, I wonder what the winner gets.

Snow Cat: Who knows, maybe old Galvatron will give us a little Energon boost. Hahahahaaa.

Blonde Girl: There’s your competition, boys!

Galvatron: Not you two simpletons!

Snow Cat: Hhh! Galvatron! And look, he destroyed two of our program clones!

Demolishor: Maybe us next!

Snow Cat: Then again, maybe we can take out some of our pent up frustration on him!

Demolishor: Snow Cat, you twit, Galvatron can hear you!

Snow Cat: Ahhh-aaahh, I mean how much pent up frustration could two meek and loyal soldiers have anyway? Hehehe. Right, Galvatron?

Demolishor: Yeah, we couldn’t ask for a better commander.

Constructicon & Bruticus: Hahahahahaha!

Constructicon: Boy, that was easier than changing an AI chip! Hahaha — huh?

Optimus: Let’s turn it up a notch!

Bruticus: Bring it, Optimus!

Constructicon: Yeah, anytime, Prime!

Superion: Waste them, Optimus!

Optimus: Watch me!

Redhead Girl: The second match in flight B has Constructicon Maximus and Bruticus Maximus versus Optimus and Omega Supreme!

Demolishor: Ughh!

Snow Cat: Aaah!

Galvatron: You morons. I search every nook and crannie in the base and where are you? Playing this mindless virtual training program!

Demolishor: But Galvatron!

Galvatron: And… you have the gull to attack me?! How dare you!

Snow Cat: Aaaaahh!

Demolishor: Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Constructicon & Bruticus: Hahahahahahaha!

Optimus: Time to teach you soldiers some respect!

Constructicon: Haa! Tough talk, Optimus! Now let’s see you back it up!

Optimus: I am your leadeeeeer….! I am Optimus Prime.

Bruticus: Ugghh… ughhh… Ughh!

Constructicon: Aaah!

Optimus: There’s more where that came from.

Constructicon: Yeah, uh, we catch your drift, Optimus-sir.

Redhead Girl: Yes! The virtual training games get more intense with each battle! And now it’s time for the semi-finals!

Sixshot: Let’s win, bro, but let’s try not to embarrass them… all right?

Shockblast: Huh?

Hot Shot: Huh? What?!

Rodimus: Just ignore him, Hot Shot.

Shockblast: Enough talk! Time to transform!

Sixshot: Transform!

Rodimus: Whoa!

Sixshot: Woohoo-hoo!

Shockblast: Shockblast attack!

Hot Shot & Rodimus: Ughh!

Sixshot: How ’bout we test your reflexes?

Hot Shot & Rodimus: Aaah!

Rodimus: Hghh. Transform! Hop on, Hot Shot! Give ’em all ya got!

Shockblast: Ggghh. Aah, aaah.

Sixshot: You’re mine! Ugghh!

Shockblast: Aaah —

Shockblast & Sixshot: Ugh!

Rodimus: Transform!

Sixshot: Would — you get offa me, you big — lug! Ugh!

Shockblast: Aaah! Ughh. You little brat!

Sixshot: And this is the thanks I get for trying to help my big brother. I’ve had it. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

Shockblast: Ugghh! Aaahh!

Hot Shot & Rodimus: Whoa!

Sixshot: No one betrays me, not even inside this mindless game.

Rodimus: Hush…

Sixshot: You mind buttin’ out?

Hot Shot: Aaaah! Aaah!

Rodimus: Stop it!

Sixshot: You want more?

Hot Shot & Rodimus: Argghhh!

Rodimus: Hot Shot! He’s just a program inside this virtual training game… If we use our internal spark, we can block the pain, cause he doesn’t exist!

Hot Shot: I’m trying…!

Rodimus: Hot Shot, let’s… Powerlinx!

Hot Shot: Hot Shot!

Rodimus: Rodimus!

Hot Shot & Rodimus: Powerlinx!

Hot Shot: Hot Shot, Powerlinx!

Hot Shot: Ugh.

Sixshot: No… You should be immobilized!

Hot Shot: You don’t realize the true power of Powerlinxing! Ugaaahh!

Sixshot: Aaaaaaahhhhh…..!

Demolishor: Ohhhh….

Snow Cat: (Yodels in an injured state.)

Blonde Girl: It’s nothing personal, sir, but would you mind clearing out of this battle ring right now?

Galvatron: What?!

Starscream: It would appear that your next opponent is Optimus Prime.

Galvatron: Huh! There is no way I’m playing this childish little game. I’m going home.

Starscream: Yessir!

Blonde Girl: But you can’t go!

[Transition]

Galvatron: Where are my obedient minions?!

[Transition]

Both Girls: And now it’s time for the final virtual battle!

Rodimus: You made the finals, Optimus-sir.

Optimus: Was that ever in doubt?

Omega Supreme: Let’s do this, Optimus. Omega Supreme.

Optimus: Hhgh!

Rodimus & Hot Shot: Huh?!

Optimus: Transform!

Omega Supreme: Transform!

Optimus: Optimus Prime!

Omega Supreme: Omega Supreme!

Optimus & Omega Supreme: Powerlinx!

Optimus: Powerlinx complete!

Both Girls: And the victory goes to Rodimus and Hot Shot!

Optimus: What?!

Redhead Girl: Omega Supreme and Optimus forfeit the win because they both stepped out of the ring!

Blonde Girl: Sorry guys, but rules are rules.

Rodimus: Heh, heh, heh, heh, hahahahaha…

Hot Shot: Hmm?!

Redhead Girl: And now it’s time to present the Virtual Training trophies to our winning team!

Both Girls: Congrats!

Hot Shot & Rodimus: Heh, heh, heh.

Both Girls: Please give it up for Rodimus and his cute training partner, Hot Shot!

Hot Shot & Rodimus: Thank you!

Optimus: Huh! Nobody told me about any ridiculous rules!

[Transition]

Both Girls: Bye for now! See you back here soon!

[Transition]

Blonde Girl: The winning team not only gets a set of handsome trophies, they also get something even better!

Redhead Girl: They get the chance to battle our special guest warrior!

Hot Shot: Special guest warrior… Like who?

Unicron: Eghhhh…. Rauggghh! Yaaaaargghhh!

Hot Shot: It’s… it’s…

Rodimus: Unicron!

Hot Shot: Gee, he sure is puny.

Hot Shot & Rodimus: Ugh!

Unicron: Unicron, transform! Ugh. Yaaah!

Hot Shot: Ughh.

Rodimus: Hot Shot!

Unicron: Ghghh!

Rodimus: Are you okay, Hot Shot?!

Hot Shot: Yeah.

Rodimus: You ready?

Hot Shot & Rodimus: Transform! Errrrrrr….

Q-1: Are you serious?! This is how the Transformers sharpen their battle skills?!

Q-2: By playing a silly game?!

Both Girls: It’s bye-bye for now! Till next time!

Q-3: I don’t understand their fascination.

Q-2: And they’ve done it for eons!

Q-1: Oh, please! They’ve been battling since the dawn of time!

Q-2: Why can’t we all just get along?!

[Transition]

Hot Shot: All right! We did it, Rodimus! We beat the game! I can’t believe we beat the game! Huhhh…

Kicker: You Autobots and your dumb games. I guess we’re more alike than I realized.

[End]

Episode Notes

-I’m referring to this episode as episode 44, even though it’s not counted as that in Superlink because, well, that’s how it is.

-Demolishor is not performed by Alvin Sanders here.

-The announcer girl says the Decepticon combiners brought along a few friends, but didn’t Superion also?

-When Superion announces his name, the line should’ve started a little later, as his mouth does not move.
