Kicker: All this Energon gas is so thick. You sure you can see where you’re going, Arcee?

Arcee: We’ll be through this in a second, Kicker. You just hang on tight, ’cause we’re goin’ in! Autobots, form a temporary Energon field! Aw, that should keep the gas away from us for a while.

Kicker: Doesn’t bother me. Just do your job and take care of the rest of the team.

Arcee: Can’t you see I’m trying, Kicker?

Kicker: Well, take it easy. I’m only trying to help.

Arcee: Don’t say another word till we get on the ground!

Kicker: Ugh.

Arcee: This is it!

Kicker: Whaaaaw! Ugh… Hhh. Ugh, ugh… That was one wild ride.

Arcee: Nah, that was a piece of cake. I’ve had worse.

Kicker: Hey Arcee, where are we anyway?

Arcee: Well, if my calculations are right, we shouldn’t be far from the Energon tower that’s releasing the gas… I think.

Kicker: Sounds to me like we’re lost!

[Transition]

Ironhide: C’mon, Kicker. It’s all up to you now. I know you won’t let us down, pal.

Optimus: Any sign yet, Ironhide?

Ironhide: No, nothing, sir.

Optimus: Alert me if you see anything.

Ironhide: Yeah, I will, sir. But that Energon cloud is getting bigger. Infact, it’s covered the whole planet now.

Optimus: Then we’ll just have to sit tight until we find a safe way to get onto the planet’s surface.

Q-2: Poor Autobots! With that Super Energon gas around, they’ll never get back to Cybertron!

Q-1: They’re trapped! There’s no way in and no way out!

Q-3: What about the boy, Kicker? He can save them, but first he must find a way.

Q-4: Yes, he must stop the Energon gas that flows to the towers. It is the only way that the Autobots have a chance of surviving this ordeal.

Q-2: Megatron will never allow it! If he has his way, then there will be nothing left of the planet, nothing at all!

Q-3: Yes, Cybertron will be a barren wasteland forever.

Q-1: This must not happen! It must be stopped!

Q-4: And the only hope is Kicker.

Q-2: Oh, can the boy do it? Oh, I’m afraid, afraid!

Q-3: We will wait and see, but time is running out for everyone.

Q-1: A single human cannot make a difference!

Q-4: There is no choice. He must.

Arcee: Kicker, keep a look out for any Autobot troops.

Kicker: You can count on me. It looks pretty deserted out here. Huh?

Skyblast Unit A: Boy, are we glad to see you. We could use some help. Where’s Optimus and the others?

Kicker: There’s no time to explain. We need to know where the Energon pipeline is.

Autobot A: Hmm? That’s definitely the ship that Dr. Jones was on. Looks like it was shot down.

Autobot B: This is important. We’d better tell the others.

Autobot A: What does that mean, though?

Autobot B: I dunno, but it doesn’t look good. Let’s go!

[Transition]

Autobot B: There’s Terrorcons everywhere. We’ll need a distraction. Run for it!

Autobot C: (Snoring)

Autobot A: This is Outpost SW-3, we’re in trouble. We’re surrounded by Terrorcons. Come in! We need backup immediately! Do you copy?

Autobot C: What’s all the racket?! I’ve been here for days and I haven’t heard a thing!

Autobot A: Yeah, dosey. Listen, for your information, the Miranda II has crashed and its passengers are in serious trouble.

Autobot C: What a predicament!

[Transition]

Sixshot: I’ve picked up a signal above the planet’s surface, Galvatron.

Galvatron: Hmm. Well, who is it, Trick-shot?

Sixshot: The name’s Sixshot and it’s the Autobots.

Galvatron: What are the co-ordinates?

Sixshot: The signal’s coming from somewhere above the southern hemisphere, but I’m having a hard time pinpointing the exact location.

Starscream: Huh?! That’s right around where the Miranda II went down.

Galvatron: What, you mean there are Autobots in the area and you didn’t even tell me?!

Sixshot: Um… It’s not a problem, sir. The Energon gas will take care of them.

Galvatron: Hmmmm.

Sixshot: Ehh, could be a lost band of Autobots that came across the wreckage. Now they’re probably just trying to make contact with headquarters here. It’s nothing to worry about.

Starscream: Galvatron, just to be on the safe side, it would be a good idea to send out a recon unit.

Galvatron: Hmm… Yes, perhaps you’re right. Are you two ready for a mission?

Constructicon & Bruticus: Hahaha… Always!

Galvatron: Very well. Get moving!

[Transition]

Skyblast Unit A: The Energon pipeline is straight ahead!

Kicker: Yeah, there it is! I see it.

Skyblast Unit A: We’re gonna have to break it open to get to the main flow chamber, so this could get a little dangerous.

Kicker: I understand.

Autobot A: This is Outpost SW-3. Headquarters, can you hear me? Please come in.

Autobot C: I think I’d better go get the captain! Oh nooo! Ahhh, aah, aaah, aaaaah! Oh, this is like a bad dream! Huh?! What’s that?!

Sixshot: I have the Autobots’ location. They won’t be bothering us anymore. Heh, heh, heh.

Autobot C: Oh no! My buddies were in there! Now what am I gonna do?!

Autobot Captain: What’s going on? I want answers, soldier.

Kicker: We’ve gotta hurry. Huh? What’s that? Are the Decepticons attacking again?

Skyblast Unit A: Don’t worry, it’s probably just exhaust!

Kicker: Exhaust?

Skyblast Unit A: I just did a fly-over and I didn’t see much, other than a few Terrorcon guards. C’mon, we’ve gotta keep moving.

Kicker: I know, but if there’s Terrorcons there, the Decepticons can’t be far behind.

[Transition]

Sally: I sure hope that Dad and Rad come back soon.

Miranda: Here ya go, Sally.

Sally: Huh?

Miranda: I’m making you cookies. I know how much you like them. Hahahaha…

Sally: Mom, this is hardly the time to baking cookies. There’s a lot of Terrorcons out there, and that means we’re in for some real trouble!

Miranda: Yes, I know that, dear. That’s why I’m keeping myself busy, to keep my mind off things.

Sally: Hhh?

Miranda: Your dad really likes these cookies, and I know he’s going to be really hungry when he gets back, so I could use a hand right now.

Sally: Sure, Mom.

Dr. Jones: Well, the elevator’s out of commission. This is a real setback for us, Rad, because it could’ve taken us directly to Primus.

Rad: Well then I guess we’ll have to find another way there, Dr. Jones. Hey, did you hear that?

Dr. Jones: It’s the Terrorcons. Come on!

Rad: Ughh! They’re onto us, Dr. Jones! What should we do?

Dr. Jones: Hghhh… I’m afraid we’ll have to get down that elevator shaft ourselves. We have no choice. It’s the only way. Can ya handle it?

Rad: Sure. I’m in.

Dr. Jones: Rad! Go for it! Now, jump!

Rad & Dr. Jones: Aaaaahhhh!

[Transition]

Bruticus: Let’s go hunting.

Constructicon: Hang on, Bruticus Maximus. Hang on.

Bruticus: Well, what?

Constructicon: Let’s get in some target practice. Just relax.

Bruticus: Sounds like a good idea to me.

Constructicon: Hey, check this out!

Bruticus: Watch this!

Autobot Captain: Try and contact Optimus if ya can.

Autobot C: Do you think they have a chance of making it?

Autobot Captain: If they don’t, then I’m afraid we might be stuck out here for good.

Bruticus: Huh?! Hold your fire!

Constructicon: What’s the matter?

Bruticus: Look. The Autobots are trying to escape.

Autobot Captain: They’ll keep the Terrorcons distracted, men. Let’s go to the crash site and see if there’s any survivors!

Autobots: Yessir!

Autobot Captain: Oh no…

Bruticus: Watch this shot!

Constructicon: You still got it, buddy.

Bruticus & Constructicon: Huh?

Constructicon: Looks like they found us before we found them.

Bruticus: This is way too easy. Blast ’em!

Green Autobot Jet A: Keep moving! We can make it!

[Transition]

Skyblast Unit A: Okay, this place is good enough. Everyone, transform!

Skyblast: This is far enough away. The Decepticons won’t come all the way out here.

Kicker: We just have the shut the valve off, right?

Skyblast Unit A: No! The Decepticons are controlling the gas flow from the master control room! They could re-route it and we’d be in the same fix!

Kicker: How are we going to stop the gas, then?

Strongarm Unit A: We could put hardening gel inside the pipes. It’ll be difficult to detect and I know it’ll stop the gas flow.

Kicker: That sounds like a good idea. Who’s that?

Arcee: Do you think it’s the Decepticons?

Strongarm Unit A: No, I think those are Autobots.

Kicker: If they are Autobots, they’re trying to get out of the area as fast as possible. Hey! What’s going on over there? It looks like some kind of battle. That means the Decepticons must be close by! Let’s go, Arcee!

Arcee: But Kicker, don’t you think we should —

Kicker: Don’t argue with me! Our friends could be out there and they might need our help.

Strongarm Unit B: Go! We can handle this.

Strongarm Unit C: Yeah, we can take care of things.

Arcee: All right then, let’s go take a look.

Kicker: Go for it!

[Transition]

Autobot Captain: Autobots, fall back! Fall back! Everyone get out of here, right now!

Constructicon: We’re gonna squash every one of you Autobots. Errrgh!

Autobot C: This is turning out to be a really bad day!

Autobot D: Hurry, take cover!

Bruticus: Ahh, the only thing these Autobots are good at is running away.

Constructicon: C’mon, let’s get this over with.

Autobot Captain: Here they come! Fire at will!

Constructicon: Transform!

Autobot E: Aaaahh!

Autobot Captain: That building’s coming down! Get out of there, now!

Constructicon: Going somewhere? Hahahaha!

Autobot E: Huh?

Kicker: Okay, Arcee, give him everything you got!

Arcee: With pleasure!

Constructicon: Aaahh!

Autobot E: Merr-ohhh-eeeee… Aaaah!

Constructicon: Lucky shot! I’m not through with you yet!

Kicker: Yeah, that’s what you think! Yee-hoo!

Constructicon: Now I’m getting really mad!

Bruticus: I’ll get them. Transform!

Strongarm Unit A: Hurry, Skyblast! Put in the gel before all the gas escapes!

Skyblast: Yeaaah! If that’s the case, then the Energon gas will start to dispurse and the sky will start to clear. I only hope that the gel holds long enough so that we can get a signal out to Optimus and the others. Huh?

Strongarm Unit: Urggh, ugh. That oughta do it. Everybody cross your fingers.

Skyblast: Then there’s no time to waste. We should launch the signal right now! Prepare to fire, men!

Omnicons: Yessir!

Constructicon: Where are they?! Come out, you Autobots! I’m not done with you yet.

Bruticus: Oh, relax. They got away.

Constructicon: Errrrrghh… Curse them!

Arcee: Looks like everyone got out of here safely, Kicker.

Kicker: Yeah, but where did they go to?

Arcee: Most of these outposts have emergency hidden bunkers, Kicker. So they probably went underground.

Kicker: Underground?

Arcee: Yeah. Anyway, they’ll be safer now so we better get back to the others.

Kicker: All right.

Skyblast Unit: Okay, launch the signal!

Ironhide: Huh? Optimus! Something’s happening down there. Look! It’s the signal we’ve been waiting for! Kicker did it!

Optimus: Rodimus, you stay here with Jetfire. The rest of us are going down to the planet.

Rodimus: No problem, Optimus, but call us if you need any backup.

Optimus: All right, let’s move out!

Autobots: Yessir!

[Transition]

Sixshot: Galvatron, I’m detecting another signal.

Galvatron: From where?!

Sixshot: It’s the Autobots. They’re trying to break through my Energon grid again, as if that’s even possible.

Galvatron: Quit patting yourself on the back and bring them up on the monitor!

Sixshot: Uh, right away, sir! Hhh! Perfect opportunity. We should attack now so I can avenge my brother Shockblast!

Galvatron: Don’t tell me what to do! I want you to maintain surveillance for the time being.

Sixshot: Of course! Still say it’ll be a good time to attack, though. Huh, what’s this? We’ve got big trouble, Galvatron! The pipeline’s jammed!

Galvatron: It’s what? You’d better find a way to fix this and fast.

Starscream: With the pipeline blocked, the Energon grid will shut down!

Galvatron: Shut down?

[Transition]

Kicker: Is the gel still holding?!

Skyblast Unit A: Yeah, but the Energon gas is still flowing through the towers and Optimus may not be able to get through if we don’t knock through the grid!

Strongarm Unit B: We could block another line if we had enough gel.

Kicker: Forget it, we don’t have time for that. And besides, it looks like we’ve got company.

Strongarm Unit B: What do we do now, Kicker?

Kicker: If we’ve got to make a break into the grid, then I guess I’ve got to do it myself. Skyblast, gimme a lift!

Skyblast: You bet! Transform!

[Transition]

Optimus: Ironhide, are you sure the signal came from this sector?

Ironhide: Yes, Optimus-sir. These are definitely the co-ordinates.

Hot Shot: I hope it wasn’t some sort of Decepticon trick. And I don’t see an opening anywhere.

Ironhide: Uh, well, it should be right here.

Optimus: Well, if you’re right, Kicker must be trying to break through. We’ll have to sit tight and wait for an opening.

[Transition]

Skyblast Unit A: What?! You want me to fire an Energon star at the tower?!

Kicker: Yeah, if we can blow up the tower, the gas will disappear along with it.

Skyblast Unit A: Oh, I get it. All right then, hang on tight! Here we go! One more for luck! And three’s a charm! Nothing happened, Kicker.

Kicker: Maybe there’s no gas left in the tower.

Skyblast Unit A: But I used up all my Energon stars. If that doesn’t work, nothing will.

Kicker: Give it some time. And don’t give up yet, it could still work.

Skyblast Unit A: Whhhhooooooaaaaa!

Optimus: There it is! Follow me!

Arcee: Yes! Kicker blew up the Energon tower! Let’s give Optimus and the rest of the team some cover!

Omnicons: Yeah!

Bruticus: Those Autobots are on the attack!

Kicker: Take ’em down!

Bruticus: Link up! Bruticus Maximus!

Constructicon: Link up! Constructicon Maximus!

Kicker: Oh no!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Gotcha!

Kicker: Easy does it, Skyblast!

Demolishor: Huh-huh-huh-huh! Follow me, Mirage!

Mirage: I’m right behind you!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.)

Arcee: Kicker needs our help, and he needs it now!

Omnicons: We’re on it!

Constructicon: Oh, no you don’t!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.)

Kicker: Somehow we’ve got to shake these losers off our tail!

Starscream: End of the line, kid. Aah!

Kicker: All right! Optimus!

Ironhide: Hey… You need a hand, partner?

Kicker: Boy, I sure am glad to see you guys.

Snow Cat: Out of my way!

Galvatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! It’s always a pleasure, Optimus Prime! Welcome to my planet, Cybertron!

Optimus: Galvatron!

Galvatron: You’re mine.

Optimus: Ugghh!

Hot Shot & Ironhide: Ughhh. Optimus!

Snow Cat: It’s all over now, Auto-butts!

Sixshot: Hmmm… That’s interesting. The battle’s really starting to heat up out there. Heheheh. It’s the perfect time to wipe them all out and take control.

Kicker: Oh no, the gas! It’s coming this way! Optimus!

Galvatron: Ugh! Ughh.

Optimus: I suggest you stay down, Galvatron. Huh? Oh no! Energon gas! Everyone, get outta here!

Hot Shot: What, Energon gas?!

Ironhide: Hot Shot, we can’t let that stuff touch us or else we’ll all be history for sure.

Hot Shot: Get movin’!

Snow Cat: Blast them!

Galvatron: Eghh, ohh. Uhh? Energon gas?! I never gave the order to open a valve! Someone’s behind this and I think I know who it is!

[Transition]

Autobot Captain: Okay, the coast is clear. Let’s go.

Kicker: Optimus!

Optimus: Huh?

Kicker: The other Autobots are here. Look, they must’ve been waiting for ya.

Autobot Captain: All accounted for and ready for duty, sir.

Optimus: You know a safe place to escape from the Energon gas? It’s getting close.

Autobot Captain: It’s safe underground. I’ve sent a message to Wing Saber at the other outpost to meet us there, but I’m not sure it got through. Follow me. We don’t have much time, so we better move.

Optimus: All right, we’ll have to hope the other teams can make it on their own until the gas clears.

[Transition]

Wing Saber: Huh?! That’s not much backup! They can’t be the only Autobots left.

Scorponok: Who’s that? Ha, time to clip their wings.

Green Autobot Jet A: Aaah!

Green Autobot Jet B: Transform!

Wing Saber: Are you all right?

Green Autobot Jet B: Shut off the pipeline… Destroy the grid…

Wing Saber: Hhh, the pipeline? What does that mean?! Are Optimus and the others still around, stuck outside the planet’s atmosphere? What should I do? What should I do?!

[Transition]

Q-2: Again, again! They’re trapped!

Q-1: It is the Energon gas. It kept them off the planet, now it keeps them under it.

Q-4: It’s not over yet. Optimus will find a way.

[End]

Episode Notes

-Alpha Q calls Galvatron “Megatron.” Still not used to the new name, eh?

-The amount of generic Autobots and Omnicons baffles me in this episode, so I apologize if I confused any voices, if it matters to you.

Transformers: Energon
“Galvatron!” – Episode 42
Written by Voicebox Productions

–
Q-2: Planet Cybertron has been captured by the Decepticons!

Q-1: Yes, those devious Decepticons who attacked with some sort of numbing gas…

Q-3: Now Optimus and the Autobots won’t be able to get near the planet.

Qs: What shall we do, Optimus Prime?!

Jetfire: Okay guys, here’s the plan! Because Kicker’s human and Arcee’s an Omnibot, Energon won’t affect either of them. So, they head down to Cybertron to try and shut off the gas grid, which will make the planet safe for the rest of us. At that point, we hit the Decepticons with everything we’ve got!

Kicker: Yeah, but how do I turn off the gas?

Jetfire: Don’t know, Kicker. Somehow, you and Arcee will have to find a way to cut off the Super Energon flowing through those pipelines. Otherwise, Cybertron is off-limits.

Optimus: Interesting…

Rodimus: Sounds like it’s worth a try, Optimus.

Optimus: Mmm. Well, Kicker?

Kicker: Hhh? Yeah, I’m in…

Ironhide: Me too! We can do this!

Jetfire: But Ironhide, you can’t go down there with ‘im.

Ironhide: I know that, Jetfire. I’m just trying to pump Kicker up.

Hot Shot: I wonder about you.

Superion: Ha, ha, ha, ha! Hahahaha! You guys really crack me up.

Hot Shot: Hey, don’t be such a stranger, Superion. Come on over!

Superion: Uh — I — uh… Oh, nevermind. Just ignore me.

Skyblast: Excuse us, we don’t know anything about Cybertron!

Strongarm: And this mission sounds dangerous.

Arcee: What are you whining about?

Strongarm & Skyblast: Huh?

Arcee: You’re both soldiers and you’ll do as you’re told! Is that understood?

Strongarm: Yes, sir! — I mean ma’am.

Optimus: The time is now, men. This is our best chance to take back planet Cybertron. So let’s make sure we’re prepared to attack!

Autobots: Yessir!

[Transition]

Sally: Hhhh… Mnnn. Hhh!

Dr. Jones: That’s it, Sally. Don’t even breathe. All right, it’s gone.

Sally: Sorry, Dad, I almost blew it.

Dr. Jones: Aaahh… Sweetheart! That smells delicious.

Miranda: What have you found out?

Rad: Galvatron and a few Terrorcons have over-run the control room.

Sally: How are we supposed to radio Kicker, or the Autobots?

Rad: Well, it seems Galvatron won’t let us near the transmitter. That means we have to find a way to get to Primus, and fast.

Dr. Jones: Not on an empty stomach, Rad, my boy.

Rad: Or do you think that it’s possible Optimus has already been in contact with him, Dr. Jones?

Sally: We’ll find out soon enough, I guess, but I really am hungry.

Miranda: Yes, I agree. You can’t think straight when you’re hungry. All right. Shall we all dig in?

Galvatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Well, gentlemen, now I can officially declare planet Cybertron an Autobot-free zone. Ha, ha, ha…

Starscream: Forgive me, but shouldn’t we err on the side of caution, Galvatron-sir?

Galvatron: Mm. Are you suggesting that we haven’t erradicated this place of all of the Autobots?

Starscream: To be brutally honest, sir, that’s precisely what I am suggesting.

Galvatron: Then where are they hiding, Starscream?

Starscream: Two possible areas; the southern hemisphere and an underground city that we detected when we arrived on this planet.

Galvatron: Hah…

Sixshot: I’ll take care of any Autobot strike.

Galvatron: Huh?

Sixshot: It’ll be a sinch, especially with this Super Energon. This stuff’s off the charts.

Galvatron: My… aren’t we the bold one?

Sixshot: I’ve earned the name “Sixshot.”

Snow Cat: Well, it looks like someone is trying to cozy up to Galvatron. Can you believe it?

Demolishor: Snivelling smartypants.

Mirage: He’ll learn.

Snow Cat: And don’t forget about Starscream. Haven’t you guys noticed how much time he’s been spending hanging around Galvatron lately?

Mirage: Now that you mention it.

Galvatron: So what are the benefits of this new Super Energon?

Sixshot: It can propel this planet.

Galvatron: Anywhere I desire?

Sixshot: Anywhere.

Galvatron: Well… Heh… I’ve got it!

Snow Cat: Oh, great. Here we go again.

Demolishor: Yeah. We’ll end up the bait.

Mirage: Not good.

Galvatron: Aim for that planet.

Starscream: Which planet, Galvatron?

Galvatron: The planet our friend Alpha Q fled to, you imbe-cile. Ah, we’re wasting time with asinine questions. We have a planet to destroy.

Starscream: ‘Sir!

Mirage: But Galvatron, there is no sun for that planet anymore. It will die on its own.

Galvatron: Silence!

Mirage, Snow Cat & Demolishor: Ahh!

Galvatron: The last thing I need now is insubordination! Is that understood? Sixshot, set Cybertron to the proper co-ordinates.

Rad: Huh?!

Sally: What’s wrong, Rad? You haven’t even taken a bite!

Dr. Jones: And here I thought you’d be happy to have a homecooked meal, Rad! Even if my wife made it! Get it?! Hahahahahaha!

Miranda: Not funny, dear.

Rad: Heheh… heheh… heheh…

Sally: I know you’re worried, Rad, but…

Rad: Huh?

Sally: Opeeeennn!

Rad, Dr. Jones, Miranda & Sally: Ughh!

Miranda: Sally!

Dr. Jones: It’s too dangerous, Rad! We’ve got to move!

Rad: Right!

Sally: It just doesn’t end, does it?

Scorponok: What’s going on? What does Galvatron think he’s doing?

Generic Autobots: Aaaahhh!

Wing Saber: Everyone, don’t panic! Obviously, Galvatron is attempting to rattle us, but hang in there! I promise you, Optimus is on his way!

Kicker: Would someone please explain what just happened?

Strongarm: It might sound weird, but Cybertron’s moving.

Kicker: Hhh?

Strongarm: Can’t you feel it, Kicker?

Kicker: It can’t be!

Optimus: Jetfire, status report.

Jetfire: Hhh… You’re not gonna believe this, Optimus, but somehow, planet Cybertron is starting to move forward.

Optimus: Impossible!

Jetfire: And, it’s heading straight for the spacebridge that leads to Alpha Q!

Optimus: But why?

Rodimus: We need a defensive maneuver, sir!

Optimus: I’m thinking. With all that Energon, Cybertron’s still off-limits. For now, we sit tight.

Galvatron: Hahahahahaha! Will wonders never cease! We’re moving! Planet Cybertron is actually moving! I’m impressed, Sixshot. Hahahaha!

Sixshot: Whaa…? It’s the Autobot ship. Not to worry. It won’t be for long after I’m done with it.

Kicker: Hh. They’re attacking from the starboard side!

Optimus: Take evasive action.

Downshift: Yessir!

Omnicons: Aaaahh!

Kicker: Aaaaaaahhhhhh!

Strongarm: Kickeeeerrr!

Superion: I’ll save ‘im!

Strongarm: Hurry!

Downshift: Huh.

Optimus: Downshift, good job with the controls.

Downshift: Nothing to it, sir.

Kicker: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! Hhh. Thanks, uhh…

Superion: Superion Maximus.

Kicker: Right… Superion Maximus.

Superion: Just doin’ my job.

Galvatron: Status report!

Starscream: Hmm?

Sixshot: I’ve located the Autobot ship, sir.

Galvatron: Idiot!

Sixshot: Huh? Aaahh-uggh! What’d ya do that for? I didn’t do anything! Hghh.

Galvatron: Don’t you ever do anything without my permission! Mrghhh.

Sixshot: Eghh… But, Galvatron-sir!

Galvatron: I give the orders around here. Pull a stunt like that again and I won’t be so nice.

Sixshot: Aaah! Ugghh! Ugghh.

Galvatron: Now get up! We have a little mission to attend to. And make it snappy, soldier.

Starscream: So, what’s the plan, Galvatron?

Galvatron: It’s simple. I’ve decided to destroy Optimus Prime with my bare hands.

Snow Cat: Now maybe you’ll listen.

Demolishor: Heheh, serves you right for suckin’ up! Heheh.

Mirage: Yeah!

Sixshot: Oh… (Weeps.)

Constructicon: What’s up, Galvatron?

Galvatron: Gentlemen, we’re going into attack mode. Shadowhawk, come here!

Snow Cat: (Yodels before he gets an infusion of Energon.)

Demolishor: Huhh-uh.

Mirage: Huhh.

Galvatron: Let’s move out! Transform!

Starscream, Demolishor, Snow Cat & Mirage: Transform!

Demolishor: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Galvatron: Silence! This time you’ll have nowhere to hide, Optimus Prime.

[Transition]

Hot Shot: Incoming Decepticons, sir!

Optimus: Galvatron?

Hot Shot: Yes, sir. And it looks like they’re closing in fast.

Landmine: Should I activate the Energon grid, Optimus-sir?

Optimus: No, Landmine. At this range, the grid won’t be effective. We need to go top-side and gear up for an offensive. Downshift, scan for a landing spot. We have to prepare for our guests.

Downshift: Yes, sir. I’ll park this baby before ya know it.

Ironhide: And this time… no fast moves.

Superion: They’re here! Kicker, top-side, stat!

Kicker: Uhh.

Superion: It’s Superion Maximus!

Kicker: Yeah, I know…

Rodimus: Yo, Hot Shot! It’s time to combine!

Hot Shot: You got it!

Rodimus: Rodimus!

Hot Shot: Hot Shot!

Rodimus & Hot Shot: Powerlinx!

Rodimus: Powerlinx Rodimus!

Ironhide: Hey, Jetfire.

Jetfire: All right, Ironhide, let’s do it.

Ironhide: Ironhide!

Jetfire: Jetfire!

Ironhide & Jetfire: Powerlinx!

Ironhide: Powerlinx Ironhide!

Omega Supreme: Optimus… Maybe you should stay back.

Optimus: No, Omega Supreme. I have a job to do. We must lure Galvatron here. And then it’s up to me to crush ‘im!

Galvatron: Steady, men. We’re almost there. Starscream, fire!

Starscream: Yessir!

Rodimus: Look!

Starscream: Null Beam Cannon!

Ironhide: What?!

Starscream: Transform!

Ironhide: Ergghh…!

Snow Cat & Demolishor: Transform!

Snow Cat: Surprise! Aheh!

Snow Cat & Demolishor: Ohhh! Aaahh! Ugghh!

Mirage: Mirage to the rescue!

Starscream: Hmm!

Rodimus: I’m enjoying this!

Starscream: What?! Ugh-uggghhh! Why you…

Rodimus: A day without excerise is like a day without sunshine!

[Transition]

Galvatron: Transform! What’s wrong, Prime? Aren’t you going to combine like the time you attempted to destroy Unicron? Well, aren’t you?

Optimus: This is between you and me, Galvatron.

Galvatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha! Still got a sense of humour! Aaaaahh —

Galvatron & Optimus: Ugh! Rrrrggghhhh…

Constructicon: We’ve gotta help Galvatron!

Bruticus: Right.

Constructicon & Bruticus: Huh?

Superion: You’re not going anywhere, boys!

Constructicon: Wanna bet?

Bruticus: Yeah, bring it! Hggh! Hggghh!

Constructicon: Bruticus Maximus!

Bruticus: Arghh! Aaaaahhh! You…

Omega Supreme: Now it’s even. Superion Maximus, this one’s mine.

Superion: Ha, ha, ha! You’re here just in time!

Constructicon: Errrrrrgghhh!

Superion: Agh!

Constructicon: Aaaah!

Downshift: Yeah, all right. Keep it up, boys. I just need a little more time to land this puppy. Are the backup troops ready?

Arcee: Just give us the word, Downshift!

Kicker: I’m itchin’ for action.

Sixshot: “Don’t do anything without my permission…” Huh. How dare he… And I’m just sittin’ here with a clear shot of the Autobot ship.

Galvatron: Hrrrrrrrrrr….!

Galvatron & Optimus: Erruggghh!

Optimus: Aah!

Galvatron: Ohhhhhhh! Ugh! Ohh…

Mirage: Mirage, transform! Flying missile attack.

Omnicons: Whaaaa! Uhh!

Strongarm: Aaaaaahhh!

Kicker: I know you’re getting antsy, Strongarm, but…

Sixshot: I can’t wait anymore…

Optimus & Galvatron: Aaah!

Galvatron: Ugh! What’s going on?!

Optimus: The ship’s been hit.

Omnicons: Whoaaaaa! Ohhh! Aaaaaaahhhhh!

Strongarm: Hold on!

Omnicons: Whooooooooaaaaa!

Kicker: Where’s it comin’ from?

Downshift: Ugh… Aw, man. I’ve lost all hydraulic pressure. And my manual override’s fried. Energon gas! Take evasive action! Take evasive action!

Rodimus: Wait…! Ugh… Arrrgh…

Galvatron: Sixshot! Are you responsible for this?! Answer me!

Sixshot: Heh, heh, heh… Yes… And proud of it, Galvatron.

Galvatron: You fool, you stole my thunder!

Starscream: It’s going to blow, sir!

Galvatron: Eghh! The gas will take care of you, Prime. Transform!

Starscream: Transform!

Optimus: Yaggghh… Everyone, retreat! Evacuate the Miranda II!

Ironhide: But we’ve gotta defend the ship, sir!

Optimus: It’s too late for that. Now get moving!

Rodimus: Let’s go, Ironhide!

Ironhide: Yaah! Right behind ya!

Snow Cat: Ah! I say we scram too! Whoa-hoa-haaa-hoa!

Ironhide: Hey… Has anyone seen Optimus?

Optimus: Egghhaahh… Muusst… hang on… Ugh…

Downshift: Kicker, don’t jump ship yet. Stay with me. Copy?

Kicker: Ya think ya can still fly this thing?

Optimus: Downshift, I’ll take over. You go!

Downshift: Sorry, sir, but I’ve got a job to do.

Optimus: Okay. I’m counting on you.

Arcee: It’s getting too dangerous, Kicker. I say we bail.

Kicker: Relax, Arcee. This ship was named after my mom. Trust me, it can take more than ya think.

Downshift: C’mon… c’mon… Bingo! That’s it! The Decepticons weakest point is on planet Earth! Kicker, you’re good to go.

Kicker: That’s our cue, Arcee.

Arcee: Move out!

Downshift: We’re depending on you, Kicker.

Optimus: Good job, Downshift.

Downshift: No sweat, sir.

Optimus: The Miranda II has one last job to carry out. All engines to full throttle and push this ship to the limit!

Ironhide: What’s he doing?

Omega Supreme: Let’s find out. Transform!

Superion: Good plan!

Ironhide: Well, hey!

Superion: Let us handle it! You stay put.

Downshift: That’s it, Optimus-sir! I’m totally maxed out! Huh?

Omega Supreme: Optimus, get on!

Optimus: Ugghh!

Downshift: Waaah!

Optimus: Thanks, Omega Supreme.

Downshift: Yeah… What he said.

Superion: Hmm.

Downshift: Aren’t you — Superion Maximus?

Superion: Hahahahaha… Yeah, the one and only.

Optimus: You served us well, Miranda II. Goodbye, my friend.

Kicker: Keep going, Arcee! You can make it.

Arcee: We’re coming in steep, Kicker. So ya better hang on!

Kicker: How come you’re not deploying your field?!

Arcee: I can’t use it with a passenger on board. Here we go!

Kicker: Ah! Look out! We’re gonna nail that tower! Ugghh…

Arcee: Can the yapping and let me concentrate!

Kicker: Ughhh… Hhh… Hghhh… Ugh… ugh… Aaaaaaahhhhh! Urgh… ugh.

Arcee: Safe and sound.

Kicker: So, where exactly are we? Hhh? The Miranda II!

[Transition]

Galvatron: Sixshot!

Sixshot: Huh?

Galvatron: You fool! Hgghh-ugh! You’ll pay! Argghh!

Sixshot: Ugghhh! Hggh, ugh… Hhhh… ughh…

Galvatron: Don’t you dare move!

Snow Cat: Heheheha! Someone’s in trouble!

Sixshot: You wait… One day you’ll need me… And when that day comes, Galvatron, you can beg, you can grovel, but I won’t be there. Ugh!

Mirage: That’s gotta hurt.

Demolishor: Ha, ha, ha… Serves the little whiner right.

Galvatron: Might I suggest you watch out. Optimus isn’t your only enemy.

Sixshot: Erggghhhhhh… Rgghhhhh…

[Transition]

Arcee: You must be very proud of your mother’s namesake, Kicker.

Kicker: Yeah.

Arcee: Now, it’s like a beacon of strength.

Kicker: It sure is. Hopefully it’ll last forever. And many generations will get to see it.

[End]

Episode Notes

-Jetfire calls Arcee an “Omnibot.”

-“Downshift” is actually Cliffjumper with Downshift’s voice. Ironically, this is his biggest episode and they mixed both his voice and name up.

-Strongarm isn’t pitched when he says “And this mission sounds dangerous.” Then again when he says Cybertron’s moving, then immediately after, he’s pitched again. This feels like a game.

-Galvatron calls the Divebomb units by “Shadowhawk” as if they are one entity.

-What does Cliffshiftcomber mean by “The Decepticons’ weakest point is on planet Earth!”?

Transformers: Energon
“Wishes” – Episode 41
Written by Voicebox Productions

–
Megatron: This Super Energon will make me totally invincible. And every last ounce of it. Now I can have my revenge against Optimus Prime and the Autobots. Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Constructicon: We have guarded this Energon for centuries, waiting for the day when you would appear.

Bruticus: And now that you have awakened us, it will be our honour to serve you.

Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha. That’s right, I am your new master. And from now on you will do exactly as I say.

Superion: Super Energon belongs to no one. It’s to be used for the future of all Transformers!

Megatron: Ha! Really? So who will stop me? You? I alone will decide the future of the Transformers and no one else. And I will destroy anyone who stands in my way!

Superion: No, Megatron! It’s wrong!

Megatron: Fool! Unicron led me here for a reason — to fulfill my destiny. Once I enter the pool of Super Energon, you will see what I am truly capable of!

Superion: No, don’t. You mustn’t go in there!

Megatron: Be quiet! I am the only one who gives the orders around here now!

Superion: Erhhugh!

Megatron: The last one in’s a rotten egg. Ha! Ugh-uhhhhh!

Construction: Whoa.

Bruticus: Huh?

Superion: He’ll never survive!

Megatron: Aaaahahh-aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! Oooh… ooohh! Aaah… Aaah, ughh… Ughhh, ugghh… Awwwwwww…! Aaah, aah….

Constructicon: What’s happening to him?

Superion: His body’s trying to absorb the Super Energon. It’ll either increase his power, or it’ll destroy him.

Galvatron: Ugghh, aahhhh! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…

Superion: Uhh! I don’t believe it! He’s completely transformed himself!

Galvatron: Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh… It’s happening, is it? I can feel the Super Energon surging through me. There’s no reason to doubt me now. I am Galvatron!

Constructicon: Oh, you must be. At last, we found you! We’ve waited so long for this moment.

Bruticus: We will serve only you…

Galvatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Now, let’s have some fun! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Not even a scratch! And it actually kind of tickles…

Constructicon: It’s amazing! He’s invincible! That kind of firepower should tear him apart!

Superion: Ohh!

Galvatron: Hehehehehahaha! Now… Superior Maximus, who am I?

Superion: You are not my master! You won’t get away with this, Galvatron!

Galvatron: Ahh… Get him!

Bruticus: But he is one of us.

Galvatron: Go!

Bruticus & Constructicon: Yes, sir!

Bruticus: We will hunt him down.

Constructicon: You can count on us, master.

Galvatron: You must prove your loyalty to me. Don’t let Superion Maximus escape. Now…! I must keep this amazing pool hidden. Hmmm… It will be my secret weapon against the Autobots…

[Transition]

Superion: I’ll need to make some friends if I’m gonna survive in this era. I hope I can find some.

Constructicon: There he is! Fire!

Bruticus: You won’t get away from us!

Mirage: Eyaah…

Snow Cat: Ha, ha, ha! What took you so long, Mirage? Did you get lost?

Demolishor: Yeah, we’ve got some exciting news to tell you.

Mirage: What are ya talkin’ about?!

Demolishor: Oohh, hooo, hooo! It turns out Galvatron’s still alive!

Mirage: He’s alive?!

Starscream: That’s right, Mirage. Galvatron is at the center of Cybertron. And what’s even better is we’ve busted out of jail and found all the Autobots gone.

Mirage: What’s that mean?

Demolishor: It means we’re back in business!

Mirage: Oh, I get it.

Snow Cat: So, since there aren’t many Autobots around, taking control of this base oughta be easy.

Mirage: Let’s do it. Transform!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.) What are we waiting for?! (Yodels.) Move out, big guy! Woohoo! This is gonna be a blast! Hahahahahahaaaa!

Generic Autobot #1: Fire at will! Yaah!

Starscream: Eraaaaaah-attaaaaaccckkk!

Galvatron: Starscream! Starscream, can you hear me?!

Starscream: Erah! Errr-aaahh!

Galvatron: Starscream!

Starscream: I’m here, sir!

Galvatron: Well…?

Starscream: Uh… Yes. We’ve broken out of jail and launched an assault to take control of their base and Cybertron.

Galvatron: Good, but leave the others to fight. I want to show you something.

Starscream: Can you give me a hint as to what it is?

Galvatron: Hint? Well, hmmm… Let’s just say that it’s something that will make us invincible. Energon can give us strength, but thanks to Unicron, I’ve found a pool of Super Energon. And with it, we will be absolutely unbeatable!

Starscream: Did you say “Super Energon?!”

Galvatron: Yes. Come quickly, Starscream. I’ll show you.

Starscream: I’ll be right there!

Sixshot: Did I hear what I thought I heard? Super Energon?

Starscream: Yes.

Sixshot: If we’ve got something like that, why don’t we make our own Energon grid?

Demolishor: Who’re you?

Sixshot: A grid controlled by the Decepticons would guarantee that Cybertron stays under our control.

Demolishor: Hey! I’m talkin’ to ya.

Starscream: Go on.

Sixshot: I’m sure I can get it online. I’m a pretty good engineer, you know.

Demolishor: Listen, pal…

Sixshot: Remember how I designed that beam gun for my older brother?

Demolishor: Okay, so who’s your older brother then?

Starscream: Mmmm, mnnnn!

Demolishor: What, I just wanna know who this guy is! I mean, how do you we know we can trust him?!

Starscream: Oh, Demolishor…

Demolishor: Yeah?

Starscream: Why don’t you give him a hand?

Demolishor: Sure, but who is this guy?

Starscream: Oh, come on, it’s obvious. It’s Shockblast’s brother.

Sixshot: The name’s Sixshot.

Demolishor: Hey, I do see a family resemblance. I guess you guys were born from the same mold. Well, welcome aboard the team.

Sixshot: Thanks. The first thing we have to do is get to the control room of this base.

Demolishor: Heh, hgghh! I know where that is! Let me lead the way, Shockblast!

Sixshot: The name’s Sixshot!

Demolishor: Right, Sixshot! Gotta remember that. Heh.

Optimus: Arcee, contact the control room and tell them that we’ll be docking at the space port shortly.

Arcee: Yessir!

Optimus: Ironhide, I want you to check on all our prisoners.

Kicker: Think you can handle that?

Ironhide: You bet!

Arcee: Wait a second! I can’t make contact. No one’s answering.

Optimus: No one’s answering?

Kicker: That’ can’t be. I was talking to them earlier today. Dad, are you there? Mom? Sally?! Answer me!

Optimus: Arcee, we’re going to have to make a forced landing on the space port. Something’s not right and we’re going to find out what it is.

Demolishor: Hgh, hgh! Hghghgh!

Sixshot: Hmm. That’s strange. There’s no one here.

Demolishor: Heheh, I bet they got scared and ran away.

Sixshot: I hope so. I wouldn’t wanna walk into a trap.

Demolishor: Ah, take it easy. There’s nothing to worry about.

Dr. Jones: What’s going on?

Rad: I don’t think they’ve come here to wreck the place. It looks like they’re after the plans for the Energon grid.

Dr. Jones: Why would they want them?

Rad: Oh… Uh… Be quiet.

Demolishor: I wonder where that leads to… Hmmmmmmm….

Rad: Hhh!

Demolishor: Is that a tunnel? Oh!

Rad: C’mon guys, let’s get outta here.

Sixshot: Starscream, do ya copy? Listen, we need the Terrorcons to help us remove all the Energon from the towers as soon as possible. Over.

Demolishor: Hghh… Boy, this place is sure is made out of some flimsy material.

Starscream: Raaaaa-aaaaaahhhwwwhhhhh! Rugghhh! I’ve never seen that before. I guess this must be the place! Wow!

Galvatron: Starscream, can you see the shrine with the three statues?

Starscream: Yes!

Galvatron: Good. Now I want you to go inside it. You’re about to see something truly spectacular.

Arcee: Hang tight, everbody. This landing might be a little rough.

Optimus: Omega Supreme, let’s Powerlinx!

Omega Supreme: It could be dangerous if we combine. Your life spark hasn’t completely recovered yet.

Optimus: Galvatron… How could he have survived? I destroyed him.

Omega Supreme: There are some things that even you can’t control. Don’t be so hard on yourself, Optimus.

Optimus: I stand behind I made in battle, but I do wish it’d have ended differently. But you’re right, the future’s all that matters now. Okay, listen up, Autobots! No matter what happens today, we’re taking back control of Cybertron!

[Transition]

Superion: This isn’t the Cybertron I remember. My era was along time ago, so I guess things were bound to change.

Constructicon: Thought you could get away, huh?

Bruticus: Superion Maximus, do you know what you are? You’re a traitor!

Superion: Combine! Superion Maximus!

Bruticus: Combine! Bruticus Maximus!

Constructicon: Combine! Constructicon Maximus!

Bruticus: It’s over, Superion Maximus. You can’t run from us any longer.

Superion: Well, what about the Energon? Don’t you two remember how we vowed to protect it? Have you minds really been clouded that much?!

Constructicon: The Super Energon belongs to the true Decepticon warriors!

Bruticus: And we answer to Galvatron now.

Constructicon: Join us, or you will be destroyed like all the rest who defy him.

Bruticus: Ahh, he’s already made his choice and it was the wrong one. Now you’re gonna pay for it!

Constructicon: Take this!

Bruticus: Oowaah!

Superion: You two were always lousy shots!

Constructicon: He’s getting away!

Bruticus: Don’t worry. He won’t get far.

Galvatron: This pool of Super Energon will provide us with more than enough power to wipe out the Autobots, but… look how those miserable Terrorcons disintegrate. Only a true Decepticon warrior is able to absorb its power. Ha, ha, ha! So, gentlemen, should we use this source to build our own Energon grid?

Starscream: Yes.

Galvatron: First I want to see if you’re worthy enough to accomplish such a task.

Starscream: Galvatron, I will do whatever you want me to do. Give me an order and I will gladly carry it out.

Galvatron: Good. Then, let me see you enter this pool of Super Energon. If you are truly loyal to me, you will survive.

Starscream: Very well. Aaaah, aaah! Hggghhh! Hgh, hgh, hggggghh! Aaaaahhhh! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! Aaaaahh! Aaaaaaahhhhh! Aaaaaahhhhh! Eraaaaahhh! Hhh…

Galvatron: Hahahahahahahaha! Excellent! You succeeded. Come out. Hahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahaha, hahahahahaha!

Sixshot: — Galvatron…

Galvatron: Huh? Who is that?

Sixshot: Sixshot, Shockblast’s brother, inside the Autobots’ control room.

Galvatron: Yes? So what have you got to tell me, Sixshot?

Sixshot: I’m tracking a signal from an unidentified ship. I think it’s the Autobots. They’re headed for the space port.

Galvatron: What?!

Kicker: Full speed ahead, Ironhide. We’ve gotta get to the control room.

Ironhide: Transform!

Kicker: Here comes — trouble!

Bruticus: Heyyy!

Kicker: Uhh!

Constructicon: Ugh.

Optimus: Transform! Yrghh, ugh. And who’re you?

Bruticus: I was gonna ask you the same thing.

Constructicon: Ah, it’s just an Autobot. Nothing to worry about. Anyway, I think you will be really surprised when you find out what we are!

Omega Supreme: Bruticus Maximus, Constructicon Maximus.

Bruticus & Constructicon: What?!

Constructicon: How did you know who we are?

Omega Surpreme: You might not remember this, but we met eons ago.

Bruticus: You’re lying. I’ve never seen you before.

Superion: What, Autobots?! If I can join up with them, I’ll have a better chance of getting the Super Energon away from Galvatron. But somehow, I’ll have to convince them I’m on their side!

Sixshot: Can it be? My brother’s old enemy! Optimus Prime… I’m sure Galvatron would be very impressed if I were to take him out of the picture. Yeah… Then he might even share some of that Super Energon with me.

Optimus: I have some questions for you. Do not leave this area.

Constructicon: Ha! You can’t order us around!

Bruticus: We’ve got work to do and we don’t have time to waste. Now, you better get out of our way or there’s gonna be trouble.

Constructicon: Hahaha. That’s right. Only Megatron tells us what to do. And we listen to him and no one else!

Galvatron: Ha, ha, ha! Well said, Constructicon Maximus! Aaaahh!

Ironhide: Huh? Megatron?!

Kicker: He looks different!

Galvatron: Hahahahahaha! This is the power of Super Energon!

Kicker: Is that Starscream? What happened to ’em?!

Galvatron: Heh, heh, heh, hahahahaha! I suppose you didn’t think you’d see me again, didn’t you? Guess what? I’m bigger and badder than ever before!

Optimus: Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

Galvatron: Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh… Poor Optimus. You’d better combine with someone, ’cause you have no chance of defeating me on your own!

Rodimus: Optimus! Let me give you a hand!

Galvatron: Hahahaha! Oh, stop! It tickles! Errrr-raaaahhh!

Hot Shot & Landmine: Aaaaaahhh!

Starscream: Null Beam Cannon!

Sixshot: Good, they’re going after the Energon towers. And I’ve got a clear shot. Once Optimus is outta the way, we’ll have those towers down in no time. I’ve got ‘im right where I want ‘im. Ready… Aim… Gah! What?!

Demolishor: Ah! Boy! This place is really starting to fall apart.

Galvatron: What is this?! What’s happening?!

Kicker: Oh no, Energon gas! Ya better get outta here, Ironhide. The gas won’t affect me, but it’ll damage you. Looks like I’ll have to find my dad on my own.

Ironhide: No, Kicker! Ugh, hhh. Kicker!

Optimus: We won’t last in this Energon gas. Retreat to the Miranda II!

Ironhide: Optimus, Kicker’s gone into the control room. I couldn’t stop him!

Optimus: Oh, no…

Kicker: With all this gas floating around, it’s impossible to see where I’m going. I’d better get inside the building before I get lost out here. I hope that door leads into the control room.

Starscream: Well, what do we have here? A little boy like you shouldn’t be playing in a dangerous place like this.

Kicker: Starscream…

Starscream: Hehehaha…

Kicker: Come on, I’m ready.

Optimus: Ugh… Kicker, I’ll take care of Starscream. You get back to the ship! Yah! Aaahaaaah!

Superion: That human is in great danger! I’ve gotta help him. Now!

Kicker: Optimus, you go, I’m stayin’! Ugh! Hey! Let go of me!

Optimus: Ugh… Hold on, Kicker, I’m coming! Kicker…! Awwwwhhh…

Kicker: Optimus!

Starscream: Heheh, what’s wrong, Prime? Energon gas too much for you? This’ll teach you to stay out of places you don’t belong. Too bad you won’t live long enough to put this lesson to use.

Jetfire: Hang on, Optimus!

Starscream: Huh! Transform!

Jetfire: Transform! Oh, no! Optimus!

[Transition]

Q-1: This is terrible! Galvatron has taken control of Cybertron and released Energon gas all over the planet! The Autobots don’t even have the strength to fight back!

Q-2: It’s hopeless! With Galvatron’s new power, he will surely wreak havoc throughout the universe once again!

Galvatron: Hahahahaaaaaahahaha! This Super Energon is exactly what I needed to finally rid myself of those annoying Autobots!

Q-3: He found the Super Energon.

Q-2: But how? It was sealed away!

Q-1: And what about the ones who were to protect it? What happened to them?!

Q-4: They are under Galvatron’s control. They serve only him now.

Q-2: Oh, he will do terrible things. Terrible things!

Q-1: There will be no future! All is lost!

Qs: All is lost!

Galvatron: Hahahahahahaha!

Rodimus: Omega Supreme, there’s something I want to ask you. About the Super Energon, do you know what it was going to be used for?

Omega Supreme: Yes. To build something.

Hot Shot: Like what?

Omega Supreme: It was hoped that we could use it to build a new era for all Transformers.

Hot Shot: Hhh…

Omega Supreme: But, I’m afraid it looks like that won’t happen now.

Hot Shot: Huh?

Superion: You took quite a beating. That Energon star should help you get your strength back.

Optimus: Is there anything I can do to re-pay you for all your help?

Superion: All I want is to join your team.

[Transition]

Kicker: I understand, Ironhide. I know that Optimus tried his best, but my family is still down on Cybertron, and I have to get them outta there. I was so close… If only I could’ve found myself inside the building a little faster, I coulda done it!

Ironhide: Hey, c’mon, Kicker. Don’t blame yourself.

Kicker: I’m not blaming anyone.

Ironhide: Are you sure about that?

Kicker: Yeah… Egh… Oh, I can’t stand this! All this waiting around is driving my crazy! I have to do something. My family needs me! I’m the only hope they’ve got, and I’m not gonna let them down!

Ironhide: Hey, I know I may not be much help right now, but if you need me, I’ll do anything I can.

Kicker: I can always count on you, can’t I? You’re a real friend.

Ironhide: Huh? Uh-huhh, c’mon, Kicker…

Kicker: Don’t be so humble. You’ve helped me out of a lot of jams and you know it.

Ironhide: Oh, maybe one or two.

Kicker: See? And with you by my side, I know we can get through this too.

Ironhide: Yeah, you’re right! Let’s do it!

Kicker: Okay, partner. Let’s move out!

[End]

-Funny how the combiners just learned his old name, now they have to learn his new name.

-Galvatron mistakenly refers to Superion Maximus as “Superior Maximus” at first.

-The Decepticons catch on a little too quickly to Galvatron’s name.

-Sixshot refers to Shockblast’s blast arm as a “beam gun.”

-Demolishor says Sixshot and Shockblast were “born from the same mold.” How true.

-Odd how Constructicon Maximus goes back to calling him Megatron, even though he has learned Galvie’s new name.

Yellow Generic Autobot: Hey, what’s takin’ so long?

Red Generic Autobot: Aw, would you gimme a break? The war’s over. We don’t need these Energon towers anymore, so just relax.

Yellow Autobot: An Autobot is always prepared for battle, or didn’t you read the handbook?

Red Autobot: Heh yeah, yeah, whatever.

Snow Cat: How embarrassing.

Demolishor: Noooo…!

Mirage: Urghhh… Erggghh…

Prison Guard A: Welcome, gentlemen. You’ll be here for the next ten thousand years. Here at the Hotel Autobot-ifornia, you can check out whenever you like, but you can never leave.

Snow Cat: Mmm — I hate this place! This is inhumane!

Prison Guard B: Please move away from the bars.

Snow Cat: Huh? Yaaahhh-aaaaahhh! I gotta get outta here.

Sixshot: Psst. Hey. Psst. Snow Cat?

Snow Cat: Huh? Huh? Who’s there?

Sixshot: Calm down. I’m on your side. So, do you know Shockblast?

Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Hahahaha! You mean the idiot who tried to take down Megatron?! Hahaha!

Sixshot: That idiot’s my brother.

Snow Cat: Hehehahaha! Oh, that’s rich! They put me into a cell next to a complete psycho!

Sixshot: All right, what happened to Shockblast?

Snow Cat: Heh. Gee, I heard he bought the farm.

Sixshot: Are you serious?

Snow Cat: Oh, even I wouldn’t kid about something like that.

Sixshot: Who did it?

Snow Cat: Well, who do you think? It was Optimus Prime! Ooohooh, I just despise that overrated Autobot!

Sixshot: Optimus Prime… Even if it takes ten thousand years, he’ll pay for this.

Snow Cat: Ten thousand years? Gee, that’s a long time to hold a grudge.

Dr. Jones: It’s time to celebrate, Rad! C’mon, Rad, have some sparkling grape juice.

Rad: Aww, sorry, Dr. Jones, but I’m a little swamped. Here, take a look. I’m worried about the Energon core. Something’s just not right.

Dr. Jones: I see you’re still not — getting any response. Well, don’t worry about it too much. I’m sure Primus is in recovery mode and I’m sure we’ll get a response in time. And besides, he deserves a rest for what he did for us.

[Transition]

Ironhide: Optimus?!

Omega Supreme: He can’t hear you now. He’s been through quite a bit. Just… let him rest. It’s okay, Ironhide. He will recover.

Kicker: He better.

Hot Shot: It’s all right, Kicker. Old Optimus is a real fighter.

Kicker: Yeah, I know. You guys think this battle is over for good?

Ironhide: Yeah, Kicker.

Kicker: I’m serious, Ironhide. I really want it to be over. I realize we wiped out Unicron — and Megatron was wiped out too. But we’ve gotta think of something before this planet dies.

Hot Shot: Kicker’s right, men. We need to save these planets. The war may be over, but our mission continues.

Misha: We’ve got to stay on our toes. I’m expecting reports from our satellite city soon, and Jetfire and the others are still out there on patrol.

Ironhide: Aw, this is great. I can’t wait to put all of this behind us.

[Transition]

Q-1: The world is completely dark!

Q-2: Does that mean we won’t see any more sunrises in the morning?

Q-1: Oh, would you please quit your incessant whining! Honestly, I don’t think I can stand another minute of it!

Q-2: Stop yelling! Our planet is dying, so please allow me at least to grieve a little!

Q-1: Right, like crying is going to help the situation.

Qs: Kicker, please save our planets!

[Transition]

Misha: Look at this… Even with the sun burning out, the planets are still developing.

Rodimus: Their energy is probably coming from Energon that’s hidden below the surface.

Kicker: Well hey, you guys. Let’s not forget about Alpha Q. He’s still out there somewhere. Hh? Now what?

Dr. Jones: Hey son… So what’s the deal? What’s with the serious face?

Kicker: I’ve got a bad feeling, Dad.

Dr. Jones: Really? It’s not that I don’t believe your intuitiveness, son, but c’mon! Face it! The battle is over. And Rad sure could use your help around here — what, with everyone in recovery mode.

Kicker: First, send Mom and Sally back down to Earth.

Dr. Jones: Good idea. Okay, Kicker, I’ll send them on the first available flight home.

Kicker: Thanks, Dad.

Dr. Jones: I’ll catch you later!

Ironhide: Hey, Kicker, what’s the problem? Are you sensing something?

Kicker: Yeah, I — got this weird feeling.

Dr. Jones: My goodness, that son of mine is such a worry-wart.

Sally: I’m not going back to Earth!

Dr. Jones: Hmm? Huh? Sally?!

Sally: And there is no way you can make me go, either.

Miranda: Sally, I know right now that you think this is a bad decision, but we’re only thinking of your safety, dear.

Sally: I don’t care!

Rad: Dr. Jones! A space gate has opened up in the southwest quadrant.

Dr. Jones: Oh my, that’s strange. Do you think someone’s on their way back?

Rad: Hang on, I’ll check.

Sally: Ah, it’s probably just Kicker.

Rad: Decepticons!

Sally: Huh?

Rad: And they’re closing in fast!

Wing Saber: The war is over, Bulkhead. Now, have yourself a rest and… regenerate, sir.

Rad: Wing Saber!

Wing Saber: Hmm?

Rad: We’ve detected Decepticons!

Wing Saber: What?!

Rad: And it looks like one of our cities in the southwest quadrant is being attacked!

Dr. Jones: Aww, it’s nothing to worry about. It’s probably just a few stray soldiers out to pick a fight.

Wing Saber: Tell Optimus I’m on my way to check it out.

Autobot #1: Keep your eyes peeled for Decepticons. We’ve gotta shut ’em down and quick.

Autobot #2: Wait!

Autobot #1: Huh?

Autobot #2: Look!

Autobot #1: Huh? It’s Scorponok!

Autobot #2: And he brought along his Terrorcons!

Scorponok: Attaaaaack!

Autobot #1 & 2: Aaaaahh!

Scorponok: Aaaaahhh!

Autobot #2: Aah, aah!

Starscream: Heheheh…

Wing Saber: Rad, I’ve found them… It looks like it’s Scorponok, and Starscream.

Dr. Jones: I can’t believe they survived. And what’s worse, they’re attacking planet Cybertron.

Sally: Dad!

Dr. Jones: There’s nothing to worry about, Sally. What can they do without Megatron? Let us take care of it.

Sally: But Dad… Look…

Dr. Jones: Huh?

Starscream: Heh, heh, heh, heh… That was easy… And in that case, we should have no problem taking over this pathetic planet — long before Optimus Prime shows up.

Megatron: Prime… Oh, how I loathe that name. And here on planet Cybertron, he shall pay for his deeds. Hmm?

Dr. Jones: It can’t be… W-was that Megatron?

Rad: Doctor! It looks like they’re headed this way. They’re coming straight for Central City, Dr. Jones!

Dr. Jones: Miranda, take Sally to the escape space port. You’ve got to leave now!

Sally: What about you?

Dr. Jones: Now’s not the time to worry about me, Sally.

Sally: Then I’m staying too!

Dr. Jones: I don’t have time to argue.

Miranda: C’mon, Sally, let’s go.

Sally: I won’t!

Rad: Doctor! The space port!

Dr. Jones: Oh no! Ergghh! They’re taking out the Energon towers!

Sally: Uhh…

Rad: You’ve gotta get back here, Wing Saber, they’re comin’ straight for us!

Wing Saber: Roger!

Megatron: Get underground! Hmm?

Starscream: What’s the matter, Megatron-sir?

Megatron: You take a crew, spread out and search this planet. Scorponok, you get rid of the Cybertron Guard.

Scorponok: Yessir!

Megatron: Your assignment is to search out Snow Cat and the others and release them at once!

Starscream: What about you, sir?

Megatron: I have business to take care of. Scorponok, I need a few Terrorcons.

Scorponok: Yes!

Megatron: You have your orders, now go execute them. This planet is ours!

Starscream & Scorponok: Yessir!

Megatron: Interesting. I can clearly hear a voice from inside me. That must mean an even greater force has merged with my already imperishable power. Lucky me…

[Transition]

Kicker: No way, Megatron’s still alive?!

Rodimus: And planet Cybertron’s under attack!

Kicker: Did they use the spacebridge, Rodimus?

Rodimus: Yes, I’m heading down there now. And Kicker, you’re coming with me.

Kicker: What about Optimus?

Rodimus: Sorry, Kicker. It looks like I’ll be leading this one. Move out!

Autobots: Yessir!

Kicker: What about this place?

Rodimus: There’s nothing we can do.

Kicker: Hmm. There’s something strange here. About the planets, Misha.

Misha: You’re right, Kicker. Ever since we lost the Energon orb, life forms on the planet started disappearing. Every living organism needs that energy to survive.

Kicker: Well that does it! I’m staying put right here.

Ironhide: Kicker… No! You have to go back to your family on planet Cybertron.

Rodimus: Misha, you stay and keep monitoring.

Misha: Yessir.

Rodimus: Jetfire and Roadblock, I want you to stay behind aswell.

Jetfire & Roadblock: Right!

Rodimus: And the rest of us will board the Miranda II at once!

Autobots: Yessir!

Hot Shot: Time to move out, Kicker.

Kicker: Mmh. Yeah, I’m coming.

[Transition]

Autobot #3: C’mon, guys, keep firing!

Starscream: Eraaaah!

Autobot #3: Aaah!

Starscream: Erggaah!

Autobot #4: Hurry, men! We’ve got company!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Oh, goodie! I just love jailbreaks!

Sixshot: Those your friends I hear coming?

Snow Cat: Hmm?

Sixshot: Think I can tag along? I can help you…

Snow Cat: (Yodels briefly.) Hahaha! Oh, you think you’re pretty hot stuff, don’t ‘cha? Hahaha!

Scorponok: Aahh! Transform! Raaaagghhhh!

Autobot #5: Raaa-aaaahhh!

Scorponok: Raaauggghh!

Autobot #6: Huh? Aaah-aahh! Aaaaahh!

Scorponok: Transform! Rggh!

Rad: The Energon towers!

Dr. Jones: Try activating the Energon grid!

Rad: But I can’t! We need more Energon to power it up!

Dr. Jones: Then I’ll have to get some!

Rad: Hurry!

Dr. Jones: Energon! We need more Energon!

[Transition]

Megatron: Well, where shall I go?! Please tell me where I’m supposed to go!

Autobot #7: There he is!

Megatron: What?!

Autobot #7: Fire!

Megatron: Ergh, urgh! Heh. It’s quite obvious you lackies don’t know who you’re dealing with! Take this! The only way to rid this planet of vermin is by destroying it! Tell me! Where am I to go?! Answer me!

Unicron: Go… north…

Megatron: Ha, ha, ha… Terrorcons, follow me!

[Transition]

Dr. Jones: Primus, activate! Oh, come on. Would you please respond? I’m sure you sense the presence of an evil spark on our planet. You must have! And without more Energon, we have no way of defending ourselves. Erggh! Come on, Primus!

Misha: Huh? Activity at the space gate! Guys, someone’s leaving!

Jetfire: What?!

Roadblock: You think it’s…!

Skyblast: Big problem! Optimus has just gone AWOL!

Roadblock: I knew it!

Jetfire: I’ll find him!

Kicker: Erghhhh… Erghhhh… Man!

Ironhide: Kicker!

Kicker: Huh?

Ironhide: Don’t worry about it! This time you get to play hero. You’ve got to go after Optimus! Now get out there, kid! It’s time to face up to your destiny!

Strongarm: [Inaudible] incoming, and closing in fast!

Hot Shot: You know who?

Strongarm: Scanning now.

Rodimus: Any Decepticon response?

Strongarm: Negative!

Rodimus: Hmm… I guess it was just a false alarm then.

Jetfire: Optimus…?

Optimus: Jetfire, I was just on my way to Miranda II.

Jetfire: But shouldn’t you be in sickbay, sir?

Optimus: Not when planet Cybertron needs my help.

Jetfire: Ehh. Uhh. Yessir.

[Transition]

Wing Saber: Hhh, hhh, hhh… We’re too late. This place is completely deserted. Rad, can you read me? Our prisoners have escaped!

Sally: So now are we supposed to hide?

Miranda: Don’t worry, Sally. I’m sure Optimus and Kicker will be here any minute.

Dr. Jones: Hhh…

[Transition]

Megatron: Oh, I just don’t believe this! You led me to a dead end…? Are they sensing something? Better check this out. Ergh! Hmm… Very strange. I’m starting to sense something myself. What is — this place? Well, I suppose I must trust my inner voice. Ergh… Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh….! Where are you taking me?! Tell me, where are you taking meeeee?! Daaaaaaaaaaa-uggghh! Ohhh. Err. Huh? So, this is it. Now I see… This mural depicts the history of all the Transformer battles fought here. A history of all the battles between the Decepticons and the Autobots. A history where war has settled nothing. It must’ve been quite the battle. And it appears each side has corroded after a very long stalemate. Such fools. But what were they protecting all this time? Ha. Maybe it has to do with this device. Well, there’s only one way to find out. Fire! Why am I here?! I can only guess you have some power to bestow upon me, so show me what you’ve got! Erggghhhh-erggghhhh!

Superion Maximus: Uhh… Huh… Uhhh? Hhh. Uhh?! What is this?

Megatron: Hahahahahahahaha! This is incredible! I’ve never seen Energon like this! Oh, and the truly wonderful thing about it is, it all belongs to me. A power so great, I shall become the most powerful force in the universe!

Superion: Why you…! Just what have you done?!

Megatron: Ahh… I see you’re awake now.

Constructicon Maximus: Huh?!

Bruticus Maximus: Are you the one who has awakened us?

Megatron: Hahaha, correct, my friend. And I shall be your new master… My name is Megatron!

Episode Notes

-Sixshot is not named in the episode.

-The episode doesn’t list the title until about three minutes in, which is probably the longest in this (or any other Transformers?) series.

-Three words: Sparkling grape juice.

-Rad calls a spacebrige a “space gate.”

-I shall refer to the combiners by their first name, for the most part.

Transformers: Energon
“Unicron Perishes” – Episode 39
Written by Voicebox Productions

–
Optimus: Hhh… Unbelievable. Unicron should’ve been destroyed. I will not allow him to win. No, I shall never give up! Not until my last breath! This ends here, Unicron! Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh! Aaaaahh! Aaaah-aaaaaahh!

Hot Shot: Ugh… Optimus! Ugh…

Ironhide: You can’t win…

Kicker: No, Optimus. He’ll rip you to shreds!

Omega Supreme: There is nothing to fear. You can defeat him.

Optimus: Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh… Owwwwwwww! Aaahh-aaaaaaaahhhhhhh! Ughh… aaaahh! Owwww! Aaaaargggghh! Raaahhh… Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh! Aaaaaaahhh! Aaaah!

Misha: Uhh…

Optimus: Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! Aaaah! Aaaaahhhhhh! Aaaaahhhhh! Aaaaah-aaaah! Owww, aaaahhh! Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

Jetfire: That light…!

Ironhide: Did Optimus… create all of this?

Kicker: I think we made it, Optimus.

[Transition]

Optimus: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Unicron: Aaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

Kicker: What’s going on?

Misha: It looks like Energon, Kicker! And it’s spreading! It’ll help protect Optimus and the others.

Unicron: Ugh-raaaaagghh!

Optimus: It’s showtime, Unicron!

Unicron: Rurggghh! Raaaagghh! Urgh!

Optimus: Urgh! Uggh-aaah! Errr-aaah!

Unicron: Aaaaahh!

Optimus: Urgh!

Unicron: Aah!

Optimus: Urgh!

Unicron: Aah!

Optimus: Urgh!

Unicron: Aah!

Optimus: Erggh!

Hot Shot: Look! Optimus is totally beating Unicron!

Jetfire: Hot Shot, let’s cover ‘im. Juuust incase he needs backup.

Hot Shot: Yeah, good idea.

Jetfire: Whoa-hoa, I must’ve bashed my head. Your armour looks all shiny and new.

Hot Shot: Huh?

Ironhide: Well, you should take a look in the mirror, bro.

Jetfire: Wha?

Hot Shot: I bet when that light hit us, our powers were boosted — just like Optimus!

Landmine: I think you really nailed it, Hot Shot. And I guarantee that Unicron’s got nothing on us now.

Jetfire: Yeah! Let’s see what these new powers can do!

Hot Shot: I’m with ya! Follow me!

Ironhide: All right, let’s get ‘im!

Unicron: Rauggh!

Jetfire: Let’s pool our strength!

Unicron: Raaaaugggghhhh!

Kicker: You see that, Misha? They’ve got new armour!

Misha: The force of the light must’ve enhanced their powers.

Kicker: Huh?

Misha: Just like Optimus!

Arcee: If they want to take out Unicron, they’ll have to optimize their new powers. But mostly they’ll have to work together as a team.

Jetfire: Yeaaah!

[Transition]

Unicron: Yaagggh…

Ironhide: Later, gator!

Hot Shot: We’ve got the power, now we’ve gotta hit ‘im where it counts!

Jetfire: Let’s take another run at ‘im.

Ironhide: Right behind ya!

Hot Shot: C’mon, let’s give everything we’ve got, men! Brilliant work, boys!

Scorponok: Adios, Autobot.

Starscream: Don’t do it, Scorponok!

Scorponok: Starscream?!

Starscream: It’s simple math. The two of us against the backup juiced up Autobots equals disaster to me.

Scorponok: You double-crosser! You’re just gonna abandon Megatron?!

Starscream: He doesn’t need us now that he’s become one with Unicron. His dreams have come to fruition, just as he promised.

Scorponok: W-what do you mean?!

Megatron: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

Unicron: Aarrr-aaaarggghhh…

Demolishor: Huh-huh-huhhuh-huh-huh! Huh-huh-huh-huh!

Unicron: Arggh!

Demolishor: Huh-huh!

Unicron: Yaaaahh! Aaaaah… Aaaah… Huh? Aaaaargghh!

Ironhide: All right!

Kicker: Yee-hoo! Unicron’s got nothin’ on our guys.

Hot Shot: It’s not over yet! Let’s finish him!

Unicron: Aaaaarrrrgggghhh!

Autobots: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!

Optimus: Ohhh no, you don’t!

Unicron: Yaaaah-aaarggghh!

Optimus: Eraggh!

Unicron: Ergghhh!

Optimus: Aaah!

Misha: Oh, this can’t be! Nooooooo!

Kicker: C’mon, Optimus, get outta there! Hurry!

Optimus: Gaaah! Arggh… Aaaah! Aaah! Uggh!

Ironhide: Optimus! Optimus-sir!

Jetfire: This isn’t working. Let’s crank it up a notch!

Autobots: Ergh! Ergh! Aah!

Hot Shot: Raaaggh!

Ironhide: He’s right behind you!

Optimus: Erggh… Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! Erggh…

Megatron: What a pleasure it is being able to battle you again, Optimus Prime! Ha, ha, ha, ha! Don’t get any ideas, Unicron! This is my party and I’m not going to let a moron like you crash it! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Optimus: Aaah! Ugh! Aaah…!

Kicker: Optimus! This doesn’t look good.

Jetfire: Optimus needs our help. It’s time to Powerlinx! Are you ready for this, Ironhide?!

Ironhide: You bet!

Jetfire: Hurry! Jetfire!

Ironhide: Ironhide!

Jetfire & Ironhide: Powerlinx!

Jetfire: Powerlinx Jetfire! Rock ‘n’ roll time!

Hot Shot: Pull back Optimus. You two keep firing.

Cliffjumper & Landmine: Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

Optimus: Erggh… Ughhh…. Yaaaaah…

Jetfire: Haven’t you learned the good guy always wins? Well consider this a reminder!

Unicron: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

Jetfire: Aww, got somethin’ in your eye?

Optimus: Ugghhhh… Uhhh.

Jetfire: Huh?!

Optimus: Ugghh, hhhh.

Jetfire: Optimus! You’re too badly injured!

Optimus: Yaaahhhh….

Kicker: He’s totally lost it!

Optimus: Don’t worry about me. The only thing that matters is destroying Unicron. No matter what the cost. Ugh.

Unicron: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Optimus: Aaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh…

Jetfire: Optimus!

Unicron: Arggh!

Optimus: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh…

Misha: Uh-hhh! What just happened?!

Kicker: Oh man, where did that come from?! Was it Primus?!

Unicron: Eeee-eeeee-raaaaaauggghhh!

Rodimus: What on earth is happening around here?

Kicker: Rodimus!

Arcee: What are you two doing out of sickbay? You’re still not up to par.

Roadblock: Hey Arcee! Relax. We’re practically as good as new. Plus Optimus needs us.

Wing Saber: You don’t really expect them to go back to bed and nurse their minor injuries, knowing that Optimus is out there — injured himself — but still fighting for all of us!

Rodimus: Would you please calm down, Wing Saber? She’s just concerned about us, that’s all. But he’s right, Arcee. We need to get out there and help Optimus. It’s looking a little rough. Remember, it wasn’t long ago that I was on a mission to revive Unicron. And it was Optimus who made me realize what a mistake I was making. I owe him.

Kicker: Rodimus, that’s cool and all, but if you bulldoze out there before you’re fully repaired, you’ll only slow the big guy down. We’ve gotta come up with something a little more solid than that.

Signal Flare: Kicker, Kicker! Code orange! We’ve got a major situation. The patients have busted out of sickbay. Uhh? Rodimus! Roadblock! What are you —

Roadblock: Whoa! Slow down, Nurse Flare. If you really wanna make us feel better, you can get us some Energon stars.

Wing Saber: Yeah, and quick! Unicron’s really doing a number on Optimus and he needs our help!

Signal Flare: First of all, I am not a nurse, I’m a medical assistant. And secondly, I want to help Optimus too.

Rodimus: Then let’s see some action!

Roadblock: Seriously, Nurse. We need Energon and we need it now.

Signal Flare: The Energon will just work as a bandage. It may cover up the injuries, but you’ll still feel pain. You need to heal properly.

Roadblock: The pain I can handle. The only thing that I can’t handle is standing around here while I know my leader’s getting pounded!

Wing Saber: Yeah!

Rodimus: Heh.

Optimus: Aaaaaaah, ugh!

Unicron: Ergggghh! Aaaaaaaarrrrrgggggh!

Kicker: The planets! Hurry up and do something before all of Alpha Q’s planets get fried by Unicron!

Rodimus: Right. Let’s go!

Kicker: Rodimus, let Optimus handle Unicron. We need to defend those planets!

Roadblock: What?!

Kicker: We made a promise to defeat Megatron and Unicron and save these planets. We’re here to protect them, and to defend peace for every creature in the entire universe!

Unicron: Rgggh!

Optimus: Aaah!

Unicron: Rgggh!

Optimus: Aaah!

Unicron: Rgggh!

Optimus: Aaah!

Rodimus: You’re right, Kicker. You’re absolutely right.

Roadblock: But how can we possibly defend all the planets?

Kicker: We’ve gotta use the Energon grid.

Strongarm: Listen up, we’re gonna need everyone’s help. Jungle City reporting in. We’re moving our Energon tower into place. We’ll be good to go in seconds. Over and out.

Skyblast: Rock City ready. Just give us the green! Ocean City standing by.

Wing Saber: All planets prepared for action and waiting for launch.

Rodimus: All planetary cities, prepare your towers now. And launch!

Misha: All towers have made it through the spacebridge and are directly proceeding towards the Energon grid location.

Optimus: Aaah…

Unicron: Ugh! Aaarggghh!

Optimus: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh!

Autobots: Optimus!

Jetfire: Enough standing around, men! Optimus is fading! We gotta get back in there, now!

Cliffjumper, Hot Shot & Landquake: Right!

Autobots: Aaaahh!

Unicron: Aaaaahhhh!

Wing Saber: T-minus thirty seconds until the Energon towers arrive at their target zones. Initiating countdown.

Rodimus: Arcee, update on Optimus.

Arcee: Optimus is still engaged in heavy combat with Unicron. The Energon grid with commence initiation momentarily.

Optimus: Aaaaaah!

Unicron: Oohh! Aaaarrggghh, arggghhh!

Optimus: Gaaa-aah! Blast me all you want, Unicron! You can keep it up all day! No matter what you do, you won’t phase me!

Megatron: Heh, heh… Oh yeah, well what about this?!

Optimus: Hrggh-ergh…

Kicker: Hhh?

Misha: No, the planets… Unicron is targetting the planets because he knows we’re working to guard them.

Optimus: Hhh… hhh… hhh… hhh… hhh. This is between you and me!

Megatron: Haha, ha, ha! Don’t let these measly planets trouble you, Optimus. You’ll be blown to pieces right alongside them, as will the future of the universe as you know it.

Optimus: Aaaaaaahhhhhh…! Aaaah-aaaaahhh! Aaaaaaaaa-aaaah! You won’t get away with this, Unicron! I won’t let you!

Megatron: Ohh, yes, you will! You will fall before me, Optimus! You will fall! And that’s not a threat, that’s a promise!

Optimus: Huh? Aaaaahhhhhh! Aaaarggghhh… Aargghhh… Ohhh…

Hot Shot: Optimus!

Jetfire: Optimus…?!

Optimus: Ughh… Hhh… hhh… hhh. Uniiiicrrrrooon! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Hot Shot: Optimus! What’s happening?!

Jetfire: It looks like they’re fused together… I don’t get it!

Optimus: Jetfire, forget about me! You need to save the planets!

Jetfire: Yeah, but…

Optimus: Aaaaaaahhhhhh!

Jetfire: Optimus!

Kicker: Optimus, can you hear me? We’re putting up the Energon grids. You’ve gotta get outta there, now!

Optimus: Kicker, I need you to listen closely. You must use the Energon to defend Alpha Q’s planets. That’s your top priority! Nevermind me, I can finish Unicron without it! Don’t you get it, Unicron? You’ll never reign supreme so long as you fight alone. I have the strength of an entire team behind me. Every single one of us is striving for the same goal. Our strength is in our numbers, and not one of us is prepared to let you get away with this. You’ve already taken too much from too many… Your days are numbered!

Arcee: Uh oh, trouble. The combined internal heat of both Optimus and Unicron is way too high! They’re gonna blow!

Kicker: What?!

[Transition]

Jetfire: Look out, Optimus! You’ve gotta get away from Unicron!

Hot Shot: And make it quick!

Kicker: Jetfire! Hot Shot! Optimus doesn’t realise the situation!

Rodimus: Attention all planets, attention all planets! Strengthen the Energon grid on the double, and prepare for large-scale explosion.

Jetfire: C’mon, Optimus!

Hot Shot: He’s running outta time and fast! He’s gotta get outta there!

Unicron: Rggh-arggh!

Decepticons: Urggghhh… Aaaaahh!

Hot Shot: Those creeps are still here!

Landmine: I’ll take care of them!

Kicker: Move it, Optimus! Now! Or you’ll be blown to bits! C’mon! I’m so not kidding!

Optimus: I can’t do that, Kicker. I can’t risk him getting away again. Unicron has wreaked havoc and destruction in this universe for much too long. I couldn’t live with myself if I let it continue a moment longer.

Kicker: He’s totally lost it!

Jetfire: There’s gotta be another way!

Optimus: It has been my life’s mission to maintain peace, and it has been Unicron and Megatron who have always stood in my way. Now is my chance to put an end to their evil, and now is your chance to help. I need you to believe in me. We’ve already come so far together. None of us could’ve done it alone. Each one of you has given me strength and determination. You’ve all shown me that it is possible to live in harmony with one another. I couldn’t have had a better team, and I certainly couldn’t have asked for better friends. It’s all from you that I gather my courage. Time to roll!

Kicker: You can do it!

Unicron: Erggghhhhh, arrrrgghh!

Optimus: Maximum fire!

Kicker: Go, Optimus Prime!

Unicron: Arrrggghhhh!

Jetfire: You showed him, big guy!

Optimus: It’s game over for you, Unicron!

Unicron: Arrggh-eeeegggggh! Aarggghhh!

Optimus: Your fifteen minutes are up!

Kicker: Show ‘im whatcha got!

Unicron: Arggh! Argh-arrrrrggghh! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

Megatron: Ergggghh-egghh!

Kicker: We can’t forget about the planets! All cities, kick it into high gear and don’t stop until Unicron is toast!

Rodimus: Attention all Autobot city bases, pump Energon grid settings to maximum power! The planets are priority number one!

Kicker: You’ve almost got ‘im! Don’t stop!

Jetfire: Think he can keep this up?

Optimus: Yaaaahhh!

Omega Supreme: Do you feel it, Optimus? Do you feel this great power? This force is a true manifest of the goodness and righteousness of your friends. And you are the centre of this incredibly strong bond. With their support and belief, you can do anything.

Optimus: Tremble, Unicron! Optimus Supreme, final impact!

Unicron: Aaaaaaahhh-aaaaaaaahhhhhhh! Uuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhh!

Optimus: It’s over!

Kicker: He did it!

Rodimus: Amazing. The universe is finally rid of Unicron!

Kicker: I knew he’d win.

Snow Cat: (Weeps) Unicron’s gone… (Slight yodel.)

Mirage: Megatron’s gonna be in a really bad mood…!

Optimus: Hhh… hhh… hhh… hhh. Thank you, everyone. I knew I could count on you all.

Kicker: Optimus! Misha, don’t lose ‘im! Hurry and get his co-ordinates before he disappears!

Misha: Roger that.

Kicker: Come in, Jetfire!

Jetfire: Say no more. Move out!

Hot Shot & Cliffjumper: Yessir!

Q-2: Our planets were defended.

Q-3: Now we can begin to restore peace in the universe once more.

Q-1: Aaah, but without a sun?! No energy! It will be impossible!

Q-2: Our planets will never be the same!

Q-1: Ohh, it’s all over! Aaaahhh!

[Transition]

Megatron: Hhh… Uh… Am I alive? Oh, yesss… I survived. I made it. (Unicron) And so did I. Aahahahahahahaha!

Unicron: Waaarggghhhh-arggghh…

Rodimus: Hurry! This is our last chance to stop Unicron!

Hot Shot: Right!

Bulkhead: Okay, ladies! It’s now or never! Let’s shut down that lub of curium! Transform!

Jetfire: This is insane. I sure wish we had a plan.

Landmine: The plan is to quit whining and start firing, Jetfire!

Rodimus: Listen up, men! Aim for Unicron’s eyes!

Downshift: You got it, sir.

Cliffjumper: I’m on it!

Unicron: Eeeeeeerrrrrr-urrrrggghhhh…

Rodimus: Huh?!

Hot Shot: What?! Ugh!

Unicron: Raaa-urrrrr-raaaagggghhhh! Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!

Hot Shot: Aw, man! Unicron’s destroying Blizzard Planet!

Unicron: Arrgghhhh…

Cliffjumper: Aw, man! Now what are we supposed to do, Bulkhead-sir?

Bulkhead: Well, give me a minute to think, son.

Downshift: Huh?! Look!

Optimus: Yaaaaaaaaahhhh! Aaaaaaaarrrrgghhh! Aaargggghhh!

Unicron: Aaaargggghhh….

Jetfire: Oh no, Optimus is trying to push Unicron away from the planet!

Landmine: Wow, that’s a big job! He’s gonna need some help.

Bulkhead: Well, if you ask me, boys, I say we go down there and give ‘im a hand.

Cliffjumper: Yeah, like they say, it’s not over, ’til it’s over.

Rodimus: If we’re going to help Optimus, then why are we just standing here?

Hot Shot: Let’s do this!

Arcee: Hurry up, you guys! Unicron’s starting to attack Blizzard Planet.

Kicker: Uh — what?

Misha: Arcee’s right. Let’s go, Kicker!

Kicker: Huhh… Ironhide, we’re outta here.

Ironhide: Uhhh, no. Go ahead, Kicker. I’ll meet up with you two later.

Kicker: Huh? I guess that’ll work. C’mon, Misha!

Misha: Yeah, I’m right behind you.

Scorponok: Huhhh-urghh… This is great. Who are you?

Ironhide: The name’s Ironhide, an Autobot soldier, under Optimus’ command.

Scorponok: So are you an ally?

Ironhide: That depends.

Scorponok: Where is my master?

Ironhide: Alpha Q has been destroyed.

Scorponok: Impossible!

Ironhide: Megatron’s responsible.

Scorponok: Ummmm… Megatron.

Ironhide: He’s pure evil! Megatron’s gotta be stopped!

Scorponok: My new master.

Ironhide: Your what?! No! No way!

Scorponok: Aaaahhh… Mmmm! Now I serve only… Megatron!

Cliffjumper: Our ammo’s totally useless against Unicron!

Cliffjumper, Downshift & Bulkhead: Aaaaaaahh!

Hot Shot: Ah! Ah!

Optimus: Errrrgggghhh-rrrgggghhh! We must stop Unicron before any more damage is done!

Omega Supreme: Don’t let Unicron’s size throw you off, Optimus. You’re more powerful than you might think.

Optimus: Huh?! What do you mean?

Omega Supreme: Space is the great equalizer. In this void, simple laws of physics don’t apply. You have the power to overcome great obstacles.

Optimus: You just might be right…!

Demolishor & Snow Cat: Aaaaahh!

Snow Cat: Gee! Whose side is this freak on, anyway?

Demolishor: Yeah… With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Mirage: Mirage must keep… going… Must keep… going. Uuughh… uuugh. Aren’t we supposed to be on the same side — as Unicron?

Demolishor: Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Snow Cat: Hey wait a sec, maybe we missed a memo from the big guy or something.

Demolishor & Snow Cat: Huh?

Mirage: Uhhuhhhaaaaahhhh! Starscream…

[Transition]

Starscream: So tell me, where is Megatron?

Mirage: Inside.

Starscream: What’s going on here?!

Demolishor: Hggh, hgh. Unicron’s got inside Megatron’s head!

Starscream: Are you serious?!

Snow Cat: The old Megatron doesn’t exist anymore!

Megatron: I need more Energon! Hgh, my men — where, where — where are all my men hiding? We need Energon! (Megatron’s conscience) If I had any Energon, I’d give you some, so just back off! Now tell me, where are my men? (Unicron’s conscience) They’re mine and I’m going to consume them! (Megatron) No, you’re not. You’ll have to get through me first, so you better tell me where they’re hiding! (Unicron) Energon! Demolishor! Snow Cat! Starscream! Scorponooooook!

Ironhide: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh — ugggh!

Scorponok & Ironhide: Rggghhh!

Scorponok: Ugh!

Ironhide: Aaah! Ugh…

Scorponok: Transform! I hate to cut and run, but Megatron is calling me. Transform!

Ironhide: Don’t let me hold you up.

Starscream: Hmm?

Snow Cat, Demolishor & Mirage: Huh?

Decepticons: Aaah!

Misha: Kicker! Take a look!

Kicker: Hggh…!

Optimus: Aaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh!

Omega Supreme: Reach down inside yourself to find the strength to defeat Unicron. The universe is depending on you.

Optimus: I will succeed!

Omega Supreme: Failure is not an option, Optimus.

Optimus: If my will is strong enough, the Autobots will prevail.

Omega Supreme: Unlike Unicron, you are surrounded by dedicated soldiers. That gives you the advantage. Listen to me, you can and you must defeat him.

Optimus: Unicron, you are not indestructible! Huh?

Jetfire: Transform! It’s stopped…

Rodimus: This might just be a trap, Hot Shot.

Hot Shot: Right.

Unicron: Raaaaaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhh!

Misha: Kicker! Unicron’s energy output is off the charts! We have to stay back or we’ll be toast!

Kicker: Then you two abandon ship! And I suggest you make it quick!

Cliffjumper: Not good… Unicron’s gobbling up everything in sight! And we’re next!

Downshift: Cliffjumper, where ya going’?! Aaaaaaaaaahhh!

Bulkhead: Downshift! Hang on, boys! Oh, both hands gotcha. At least I hope.

Hot Shot: Ugh, ah! Ugh, ah! Powerlinx! Aaaaahh!

Rodimus: Huh?! Aaaaaahhh!

Jetfire: Time to take charge!

Misha: Oh no! Blizzard Planet is gone!

Kicker: Unreal.

Optimus: Hhh… Hh.

[Transition]

Downshift, Cliffjumper & Bulkhead: Aaaah! Aaaah…

Wing Saber & Landmine: Hhh…

Hot Shot, Roadblock, Jetfire & Rodimus: Ugggh… Aaarggh…

Optimus: Hhhh. Uhh-ugh… Hhh… Uhhh-aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

Kicker: What’s going on, Optimus? Arcee, we’ve gotta wound up all the wounded.

[Transition]

Sally: I wonder how Kicker is.

Miranda: He’s probably hard at work, dear.

Sally: Awhh. I sure hate being a little sister around here. It’s not any fun.

Miranda: Oh, Sally…

Dr. Jones: Kicker is just like his old man! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Sally: Hmm… Why did I have to get stuck with such dorky parents, anyway?

Miranda: Oh, sweetie, you sure miss Kicker, don’t you?

Sally: Mother, please! I’m not a child!

Dr. Jones & Miranda: Hahahaha! Hahahaha!

Rad: Dr. Jones! Dr. Jones, are you in here?!

Dr. Jones: What’s up, Rad: What’s going on?

Rad: Big problems. Something’s happening in the core, you’ve gotta hurry!

Dr. Jones: You’re kidding. What could be wrong?!

Unicron: Hhhmmm…

Demolishor: Huh-huh-huh-huh! Hggh-huh-huh-huh!

Mirage: Ooohh!

Snow Cat: Don’t look now, but here comes trouble!

Demolishor: Why can’t we all just get along?!

Mirage: Megatron?!

Snow Cat: The Megatron we knew doesn’t exist anymore!

Kicker: Unicron must be scoping out his next victim.

Arcee: And by his trajectory, he’s headed for Circuit Planet.

Misha: Hang on a second. Isn’t Circuit Planet right next to Desert Planet and Jungle Planet?

Kicker: We’ve gotta stop him before he destroys everything!

Optimus: Thank goodness everyone made it safely to the infirmary. I just hope they can all return to battle form before Unicron starts his rampage again. That is only a matter of time, something we don’t have a lot of.

Dr. Jones: So, what exactly is going on, Rad?

Rad: In order to defeat Unicron, Optimus needs us to send us all of the Energon from Cybertron’s core.

Dr. Jones: But if you do that, then —

Rad: Yeah, I know, we’ll be totally wiped out!

Dr. Jones: We must do what we can. We have no other option.

[Transition]

Optimus: Listen up, men. Omega Supreme and I are heading out. The rest of you with stand by aboard the Miranda II.

Ironhide: Sorry, sir. But all of us are deploying with you.

Optimus: No! I gave an order and I expect you to follow it.

Ironhide: But sir!

Optimus: Maybe you didn’t hear me.

Ironhide: Aaah!

Hot Shot: Whoaaa…

Optimus: Anyone else?

Primus: You’re right, Dr. Jones. Unicron must be destroyed immediately.

Dr. Jones & Rad: Aah!

Primus: Rise, Cybertron warriors!

Optimus: It’s time, Omega Supreme.

Omega Supreme: Right.

Optimus: Let’s do this! Uggh!

Omega Supreme: Transform!

Optimus: That’s far enough, Unicron! Transform!

Omega Supreme: Transform!

Optimus: Optimus Prime!

Omega Supreme: Omega Supreme!

Optimus & Omega Supreme: Powerlinx Optimus Supreme!

Optimus: Aaaaaaahhhhh! Aaaahh! Aaah!

Unicron: Aaaahh! Arrrrrgggghhhh!

Optimus: Hhh… Hhh… Hhh… Hhh… Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! You’re finished, Unicron! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaaahhhh! Ugggghh-ugghh! Yaaaahahhhaarggghhhhhh! Huh? I don’t believe it.

Ironhide: I hope you don’t mind us crashing the party, Optimus!

Hot Shot: Yeah, we figured that if you didn’t make it, then it wouldn’t feel like disobeying an order.

Jetfire: And besides, we couldn’t let you take all the glory, Optimus-sir.

Landmine: We all know that the code of the warrior takes priority over a direct order, sir.

Cliffjumper: I may be new to this outfit, but I gotta tell ya, I’ve never seen more dedicated soldiers than these boys right here, Optimus.

Optimus: Ha, ha… What am I gonna do with you guys? Okay, men. This could be our last chance. We must destroy Unicron in our first attack. That means we hit it, and we hit it with everything we’ve got, understand?

Autobots: Yessir!

Optimus: Kicker, can you read me?

Kicker: Loud and clear!

Optimus: You protect the ship and look after everyone in sickbay. Oh, and one more thing… You’re in charge of organizing the party once we’ve finished Unicron off.

Kicker: Heh, heh, heh! I think you’ve gotta get the job done first, Optimus. Looks like it’s in the bag!

[Transition]

Optimus: Autobots, attaaaaaaack!

Autobots: Yaaaaaahhh!

Jetfire: Transform! Ready or not, here we come!

Ironhide: C’mon, Hot Shot. It’s time to turn Unicron into a hunk o’ Swiss cheese!

Hot Shot: Forget cheese, Ironhide. Let’s make sure we do what we came to do!

Ironhide: You got it!

Cliffjumper & Landmine: Transform!

Optimus: Disengage! Follow me!

Unicron: Aaaaaaaaahhhhh-ergghh!

Ironhide: You — see that?!

Unicron: Urggghhhh…

Jetfire: Whoa! That was amazing!

Kicker: Hhh. Everyone! Get out of there, right now!

Unicron: Raaaaeeeugggghh…

Misha: Aaaahh! Aah!

Kicker: Aaah!

Jetfire: Aah!

Hot Shot: Aah!

Ironhide: Uggh!

Landmine & Cliffjumper: Aaah-aah!

Optimus: Uggh! Urgh! Eeeenough!

Unicron: Aaaaaaarrrrgggggghhhhh! Eraaaagggghhhh!

Optimus: Ugh… Aaaaahhh… Transform! Aaaaaaaaahhhhh! Ugh! Ugh! Aaahh! Aaaah! Aaaaaaaaahhhh! Unbelievable. Unicron should’ve been destroyed. I will not allow him to win. No, I shall never give up! Even at my last breath! This ends here, Unicron! Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh! Aaaaahh! Hhh… Aaaaaahh!

Hot Shot: Ugh… Optimus…

Ironhide: You can’t win…

Optimus: Aaaaaaaahhhh!

Landmine: Give it up, Optimus!

Cliffjumper: Aaaah… It’s over!

Optimus: Ugh, ugh, aaaah!

Jetfire: Save yourself, sir.

Optimus: Aaaaahhh!

Kicker: No, Optimus. He’ll rip you to shreds!

Omega Supreme: There is nothing to fear. You can defeat him.

Optimus: Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh… Yaaaaahh-aaahh! Guuuhhhh! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh! Ughh… aaaahh! Owwww! Aaaaargggghh! Aaaahahhh! Aah, aah, aaahh! Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

Misha: Hhhh…

Optimus: Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! Aaaah! Aaaaahhhhhh! Aaaaahhhhh! Aaaaah-haaaa! Owww, aaaahhh!

Jetfire: That light…!

Ironhide: Did Optimus… create all of this?

Kicker: I think we made it, Optimus. I think we made it.

Episode Notes

-Cliffjumper and Downshift have two lines switched in this episode. Cliffjumper’s VA is the one who rushes into action, but Downshift’s the one who actually goes. However, Bulkhead calls Downshift’s name before grabbing him.

-Hot Shot screams after he switches with Roadblock and he’s on the bottom.

-Primus — er, the Core of Cybertron calls the Autobots “Cybertron warriors,” untranslated or meaning “Cybertronian,” it’s up to you.

-Optimus’ change of heart is weird. He goes from punching Ironhide to laughing in a short timeframe.

Transformers: Energon
“The Power” – Episode 37
Written by Voicebox Productions

–
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.

Megatron: Next stop, Unicron.

Unicron: Egghhh-ehhhhh… Ehhh, aghhh…

Jetfire: This is Jetfire! Unicron has altered its course and it’s headed towards Alpha Q! If we’re gonna stop it, we’re gonna have to work fast!

Optimus: Deploy the Energon grid.

Megatron: Ha. Oh, please. When are you going to learn, Optimus? Your dismal defense could not hurt a fly. But I must say I’m flattered you were thinking of me.

Unicron: Yaaahh-aagghh…

Megatron: It’s time to rebuild Unicron once and for all.

[Transition]

Q-2: Do you think you could stop Unicron with the Energon grid?

Q-3: Not likely.

Optimus: Okay, men. Our mission is to make sure Megatron doesn’t succeed in reviving Unicron. And remember, use whatever firepower it takes to get the job done.

Q-2: Oh my, I’m not sure Optimus can do the job!

Q-1: Oh, just relax and give him a chance!

Q-3: At least he would buy us some time.

Q-2: I hate to be a pessimist, but I suppose that’s all we can hope, isn’t it?

Kicker: Okay, Omega Supreme. I’ve got a question for you. Optimus told me you fought against Unicron a long time ago, so you must know a way to beat that planet.

Omega Supreme: I’m only a soldier here to follow Optimus’ orders.

Kicker: Hey! I’m just asking a simple question, pal!

Omega Supreme: The reason I was revived is to help Optimus. And in the end it will be Optimus who must destroy Unicron.

Kicker: That’s a load of crud! Optimus can’t do it on his own, there’s no way!

Optimus: Wing Saber, let’s do this!

Wing Saber: Yes, sir!

Optimus: Optimus Prime!

Wing Saber: Wing Saber!

Optimus & Wing Saber: Powerlinx!

Optimus: Powerlinx complete!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Haha! Snow Cat comin’ through!

Demolishor: Huh, huh… Megatron was right! We’ve got company! Heh! Egghh!

Autobots: Aaah!

Megatron: Would you forget about the Autobots, you morons? Head straight for Unicron, now!

Unicron: Ehh-aaaahh…

Misha: The two halves of Unicron are on the move!

Arcee: That means Megatron intends to slam it into the grid.

Kicker: Erggh! We’ve gotta stop ‘im!

Optimus: Fly all over Unicron and keep firing. Don’t stop until I give the command to retreat.

Omega Supreme: Omega Blast Attack!

Optimus: That must be Omega Supreme.

Autobots: Aaah!

Mirage: Transform! You’re not going anywhere!

Autobots: Ughh!

Starscream: Hwah, hggh!

Downshift: What?

Starscream: Yaaaaaahhh… Ugh! Aaaaaahhh!

Roadblock: Okay, Downshift! Time to link up!

Downshift: Right!

Roadblock: Roadblock!

Downshift: Downshift!

Roadblock & Downshift: Powerlinx!

Roadblock: Powerlinx complete!

Ironhide: Eraah!

Hot Shot: Ironhide, if we can figure out which way they come out of Unicron, that’ll be the way we get inside. C’mon, we gotta find it, quick!

Ironhide: Yeah, you got it!

Hot Shot: Hey, Prowl! Let’s link up!

Prowl: Right!

Hot Shot: Hot Shot!

Prowl: Prowl!

Hot Shot & Prowl: Powerlinx!

Hot Shot: Powerlinx complete!

Ironhide: Looks like we’re clear. Time to move in.

Mirage: Aaah!

Snow Cat: Hey, what’s going on?! Aaaaah! Aaah!

Mirage: Aaaah!

Omega Supreme: Heh, heh, heh…

Scorponok: You’re mine, Omega! Ergh…

Omega Supreme: Hrggh!

Scorponok: Arggh! Ugh!

Jetfire: Not on my watch.

Scorponok: Ergghh… Pull back!

Misha: It — it looks like — Unicron’s trapped inside of the Energon grid!

Kicker: That’ll cause the whole planet to explode! Optimus, ya gotta get outta there! All units, retreat! Move away from Unicron, stat!

Ironhide: Hhh, hhh, hhh… What?! Oh no, it’s Shockblast!

Shockblast: Heheheheh! Live and in living colour!

Ironhide: Ugh! Hey, I think I found the entrance!

Optimus: Ironhide, listen up.

Ironhide: I’m all ears.

Optimus: Unicron’s trapped in the grid. You’ve got to move out now!

Ironhide: But I found a way in, sir!

Optimus: There’s no time to waste!

Ironhide: But sir!

Shockblast: Well, well… Looks like I don’t have to waste my energy destroying you after all. Later, Autobot!

Ironhide: Hey! Uggh! Uhh! Aaaaaaaaahhhh! Aw, man. What was that?

Omega Supreme: Ironhide… Do as Optimus said. Pull out.

Ironhide: But I found a way in. It may be our only chance!

Omega Supreme: Optimus gave you a direct order.

Ironhide: Errrrgghhh…

Snow Cat: Ahh! Hurry, Demolishor! Ah-ahh! We gotta scram!

Demolishor: Hgh-hggh!

Megatron: Yesss, that’s it. Time to rise up and face the universe, Unicron!

Misha: No, Kicker. Unicron’s passing right through the Energon grid.

Kicker: Let’s just hope you’re wrong.

Unicron: Aaaargghh! Urggh.

Megatron: Come on, blast right through it!

Snow Cat & Demolishor: (Cries of fear.)

Megatron: That’s it. Keep going!

Unicron: Raaaugghh-ergghhh!

Misha: The grid isn’t holding Unicron back.

Snow Cat: Megatron! We’ll be wiped out if we stay put! Have you lost your marbles? There’s no way Unicron’s going to go through that grid!

Megatron: Silence, fool! I know precisely what I’m doing around here! Just keep moving forward, Unicron! You must break through!

Hot Shot: It’s still going!

Snow Cat: Stop the madness, Megatron! Stop the madness!

Mirage: Argh, I don’t like this!

Starscream: Megatron knows what he’s doing! We’ve gotta hold on a little longer!

Shockblast: Hmm. Megatron doesn’t have a clue what’s going on! He’s pushing Unicron too far!

Kicker: It’s just — gotta stop!

Rodimus: Now what’s happening?

Kicker: So, did it stop?

Ironhide: Unicron!

Misha: Oh no, I don’t believe it. Unicron made it through the grid!

Kicker: No way!

Unicron: Ehhh-aaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhh….

Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha… Hahahahahaha!

Snow Cat: Awhh… Huh?!

Megatron: It’s alive! The almighty planet Unicron has survived and is still alive! Hahaha… Hahahaha!

[Transition]

Unicron: Yaaaargghhh…

Kicker: Alpha Q!

Q-4: Yes, Kicker?

Kicker: You’ve gotta make a run for it! Unicron has made it through the Energon grid and is heading your way!

Q-4: We know, but we will not run.

Q-1: We must nuture our planets!

Kicker: You may be their sun, but if Unicron gets you, there won’t be any planets!

Q-4: Attempting to escape would be futile. We don’t stand a chance against Unicron.

Kicker: But you’ve gotta try!

Q-4: We haven’t given up, Kicker. We’ve just come to terms with our fate.

Ironhide: The entry point is about a hundred metres ahead, sir.

Optimus: Let’s roll!

Jetfire: Optimus, look out!

Prowl: Uhh! Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

Hot Shot: Hang on! I’m coming, Prowl!

Downshift: This is a disaster.

Optimus: I want you to keep attacking from the outside. Keep pounding Unicron. I’m going in. With any luck, I’ll find Megatron and bring him down.

Kicker: It’s too dangerous, Optimus! The heat inside’s too intense. It could melt even you.

Optimus: I’ll just have to take that chance, Kicker.

Kicker: Optimus!

Rodimus: This is not a solo mission, Optimus. I’m coming with you.

Kicker: Man, I wish they’d listen for once. Come on, Alpha Q, you’ve gotta move it!

Q-4: Kicker, as I told you, we must stay and face the consequences.

Kicker: Has everyone lost it? Move it or lose it! Ohh, why aren’t you listening to me? Eggh! I’m dealin’ with brick walls here!

Starscream: Megatron-sir! Optimus and his crew are on —

Megatron: Forget about those worthless Autobots and get on with your job, Starscream! We must join Unicron’s head and body together, and we must do it now!

Q-2: We were so close…

Q-1: With a little more time, we could’ve helped all our planets.

Rodimus: Ugh!

Optimus: Rodimus! Ahh!

Rodimus: This is not good, Optimus! Eghh!

Optimus: Arghh… Disengage!

Wing Saber: Optimus!

Optimus: Wing Saber, get Rodimus outta here.

Wing Saber: But — what about you, sir?

Optimus: Arggh, that’s an order!

Wing Saber: Yes, sir!

Optimus: Ugh… Aaah… Ugh… Huh? Aah, aah… Huh? Hhh. There’s the entrance. Yah-uh… I’ve got — to keep going… Uggh! Aaah! Aaah. Ohh, ah, ah, aaah!

Wing Saber: Omega Supreme! We’ve got to help Optimus!

Omega Supreme: I’ll take care of it.

Rodimus: Wing Saber, get ahold of Skyblast. We need Energon stars, and fast.

Wing Saber: Yessir!

Megatron: Hahahahahaha… Unicron will soon be whole. And then no one will be able to stop me!

Kicker: Optimus, where are you?! Oh, come on, Optimus! Just respond! Come in, Optimus! Come on… Steer the ship toward Unicron. We have to help Alpha Q.

Misha: But Kicker, what about Optimus?

Kicker: He’s got help. Alpha Q needs us now!

Q-4: Kicker…

Kicker: Hh? Alpha Q!

Q-4: Can you save us, Kicker?

Kicker: Yes. I’ll do whatever I can.

Q-4: Yes.

Kicker: Just tell me what to do!

Q-4: Listen carefully, human. A new planet has been formed. It is the third planet to the north of Ocean Planet. Hurry, and go there.

Kicker: Right. We’re on our way. Let’s do it, Misha!

Misha: Right!

Jetfire: Aim for the hands, but watch out for the Energon orb!

Prowl: Oh, yeah, right. Easy for you to say, Jetfire.

Jetfire: Just zip it and fire! We’ve gotta keep hammering Unicron.

Megatron: That’s it. Just a little bit more.

Decepticons: Aaaaahh!

Megatron: Arrggh! What is happening?

Q-1: We won’t give up without a fight!

Q-2: That Energon is ours, you brute!

Omega Supreme: Optimus…

Decepticons: Aaarrrgggghhh!

Snow Cat: Okay, that’s it! I’ve had enough! We’ve gotta get out of here, Megatron, or else we’re all doooomed!

Megatron: Quit whining, Snow Cat! Don’t worry, Alpha Q. You won’t get away with this.

Jetfire: Transform!

Hot Shot: Unicron’s about to blow! We gotta ditch!

Jetfire: Aw, I hate to cut and run. All units, retreat!

Q-4: Kicker…

[Transition]

Kicker: There, that’s it! Okay, we made it, Alpha Q. So now what do we do? Alpha Q!

Alpha Q: Kicker…

Kicker: Hhh?

Alpha Q: Don’t you remember us, Kicker?

Kicker: Yeah, I think so.

Misha: Hh. I know this place.

Kicker: Hhh.

Alpha Q: This is what it looked like where you played as a child.

Kicker: That’s impossible!

Alpha Q: You liked the sunshine and running through the grass. And this is what it looked like when we first met.

Kicker: Hey, I didn’t come all this way to play some stupid game! We’re on a mission! Now what exactly is the plan here?

Alpha Q: We are battling as we speak. Nuturing planets like this is our way of fighting against Megatron.

Megatron: Yyyyessss! Victory will soon be all mine!

Kicker: A-Alpha Q!

Alpha Q: The fact that we were able to raise beautiful planets like this is proof of our existance. Thank you, Kicker. You respected our planets and we thank you. Now it’s time to go.

Ironhide: Huh? Uh.

Rodimus: Alpha Q, no…!

Kicker: I can’t let this happen! I’ve gotta help Alpha Q before Unicron destroys everything! Come on, Misha!

Misha: I’m coming! Huh?

Kicker: Eghh? Alpha Q!

Megatron: Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahaha! I’ve finally done it. And soon — soon, I will take the two parts of Unicron and make them one.

Prowl: The Energon orb!

Ironhide: Alpha Q!

Hot Shot: Ironhide, come back!

Wing Saber: Bad news.

Hot Shot: Huh?

Wing Saber: Optimus is down!

Ironhide: No way!

Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Feel the joy! My precious planet Unicron has now come back to life!

Unicron: Yaaaaa-aaarrrggghhh….

Ironhide: Optimus!

Omega Supreme: He’s in sleep mode. We need Energon to revive him and we need it quick.

Megatron: Your time has come, Unicron. Go forth and feed on the other planets. Take their Energon and become the greatest of all in the universe!

Starscream: Huh?

Megatron: What is wrong with you? Why aren’t you moving?! Why?!

Ironhide: You think it’s working?

Rodimus: Yes, I believe he’s coming around, Ironhide.

Optimus: Ugh… Uh… Uhh? Ohh, we’re too late…

Rodimus: But we did find the entrance. And there is more good news, Optimus. Unicron’s been stationary, which means it might be trying to repair some damage we inflicted.

Omega Supreme: And if we’re going to attack again, now’s our chance.

Optimus: Hhh. In that case, why are we just wasting time just talking about it?

Ironhide: But Optimus-sir!

Rodimus: You are not ready for battle, Optimus. I’ll go instead. I’ll go because I have to avenge Alpha Q.

Optimus: Alpha Q, he’s gone now. We’ll do this together.

Rodimus: But — but Optimus!

Optimus: No buts. It is my sworn duty to lead this mission. I am the supreme commander of the Autobots! This is my destiny. And I will do whatever it takes to carry it out. Huh?! My Combination Spark!

Omega Supreme: The time has come.

Optimus: What?

Omega Supreme: My own spark recognizes yours.

Optimus: Are you saying we can link up, Omega Supreme?

Omega Supreme: And I’m willing to take on this mission with you, Optimus. No matter what the danger, or the outcome.

Rodimus: It’s up to you, sir.

Optimus: We must do this for Alpha Q. It was him who showed me what to do. And we owe it to the entire universe; we will be victorious. We both know what we have to do, Omega Supreme.

Omega Supreme: Yessir. I am ready, willing and able… And at your service, Optimus.

Optimus: Let’s make our move.

Omega Supreme: Engaging link up.

Optimus: Optimus Prime!

Omega Supreme: Omega Supreme!

Optimus & Omega Supreme: Powerlinx!

Optimus: Powerlinx complete!

Kicker: That can’t be it… That can’t be the end of Alpha Q! There’s just no way it can be true. He’s gotta be alive. He’s gotta be somewhere! Don’t worry, Alpha Q! I’ll find you! I’ll find you…

[End]

-Some of Scorponok’s lines are voiced by David Kaye (Megatron). I have listed them as Scorponok, as characters don’t refer to him by name.

Transformers: Energon
“Omega Supreme” – Episode 35
Written by Voicebox Productions

–
Dr. Jones: What, when, where am I? Huh? Holy smokes, could it really be? It is! I’ve been brought to this ancient temple to witness the legendary guardian of Energon being reactivated! His name is Omega Supreme, and I thought he was just a myth! I’m not sure what all this means, but I bet Optimus does! This is awesome!

Omega Supreme: It is time… Omega Supreme!

Rad: Optimus, this is Rad on planet Cybertron. Come in! Repeat, this is Rad on planet Cybertron. Come in, Optimus!

Dr. Jones: So, are you having any luck trying to get through to the big guy?

Rad: No, but I’ll keep trying until I reach him, Dr. Jones. We have to tell Optimus the news about Omega Supreme.

Dr. Jones: Yes, this is big news, Rad.

Optimus: Cybertron, come in!

Dr. Jones: Huh?

Rad: Huh?

Optimus: This is Optimus Prime. Can you read me, Rad? We’ve detected your transmission. Come in, Rad!

Rad: Hey, it’s Optimus!

Optimus: We’ve better hurry so we don’t lose the connection.

Dr. Jones: I agree with Optimus. Okay, Rad. See if you’re able to compress the signal.

Rad: Right!

Optimus: What are your exact transmission co-ordinates, Rad?

Rad: Ugh.

Dr. Jones: We’re broadcasting from planet Cybertron!

Optimus: Is that you, Dr. Jones?

Wing Saber: Oh, man. This is impossible! I can hardly see through this asteroid shower. How could this be?! It’s — it’s Unicron!

[Transition]

Dr. Jones: We’ve got big news, Optimus! We have a new warrior on our side! I can hardly believe it!

Optimus: Really? Does this new warrior have a name?

Dr. Jones: As a matter of fact, he does. It’s one of the ancient guardians! Omega Supreme has been reactivated!

Optimus: Omega Supreme?

Rad: And from the latest radar scan we just did, it looks like he’s headed straight towards you, Optimus.

Optimus: What?

Ironhide: Omega Supreme, huh? You ever heard of a warrior by that name, Hot Shot?

Hot Shot: No.

Kicker: I just heard! Did you guys really hook up with Cybertron?

Dr. Jones: Hey, is that you, Kicker?

Kicker: Yeah, it’s me, Dad.

Wing Saber: Oh no. I’ve got a bad feeling Unicron’s been activated. I’ve gotta warn the others. Huh?!

Sally: You stay outta trouble, okay, Kicker?!

Kicker: Hh, would ya give me a break?

Ironhide: Now that we’ve got a clean link with planet Cybertron, things are going to go a lot smoother.

Hot Shot: Let’s hope.

Ironhide: Why couldn’t we contact them before?

Hot Shot: Good question, Ironhide.

Rodimus: Well, maybe it’s because the asteroid shower cleared up.

Optimus: You maybe right.

Jetfire: Okay, if communications are clearing up, how come we haven’t heard from Wing Saber?

Hot Shot: You go check, Ironhide.

Ironhide: Hang on a sec. Wing Saber went to go check on Unicron. I hope nothing’s happened.

Hot Shot: Yeah…

Wing Saber: Optimus, Unicron’s body is absorbing this weird black fog that’s out here, and it’s regenerating.

Optimus: Just as I thought. Wing Saber, return to base!

Wing Saber: Yessir!

Kicker: Hey Sally, look. I’m glad you made it back to Cybertron okay, but I’m gonna sign off now. We have some real work to do —

Optimus: Kicker, wait!

Kicker: What?

Optimus: I must talk to your father. I have to ask him for a favour.

Dr. Jones: Fire away, Optimus. No matter what you need — big or small — I’ll do my best to help you out.

Optimus: I need more Energon towers, Dr. Jones.

Dr. Jones: No problem! Consider it done!

Kicker & Misha: Aaah!

Dr. Jones: Hey, I’ll build you the best Energon towers in the entire universe!

Megatron: Rise, Unicron! Rise up! What’s wrong? Are you starving for more Energon, oh great Unicron? Don’t just stand there, you numbskulls! We need to get more Energon. Move, you pathetic excuses for soldiers, and release the Terrorcons!

Decepticons: Yessir!

Megatron: Get moving!

Shockblast: Hahahahahaha!

Optimus: According to the data, this is the only spot where we can penetrate the armour. And remember, this may be our only chance to bring down Megatron before Unicron is revived.

Bulkhead: But Optimus, don’t you think we should at least wait un’il Omega Supreme arrives?

Optimus: There’s no time. The simple fact that he’s back in business means Cybertron is in great danger of Unicron. And that puts the entire universe in dire peril. We’re the last line of defense. We must succeed.

Rodimus: There is not a second to waste. And it’s our job to take Megatron out.

Bulkhead: Omega Supreme can join up with us.

Optimus: Arcee, Misha, prepare to launch the Miranda II!

Arcee: Yessir.

Misha: We’re ready when you are.

Optimus: Kicker, I want you to provide backup from here on the ship.

Kicker: Leave it to me.

Optimus: All right, men. Let’s get this show on the road.

Autobots: Yessir!

Q-1: This is bad. This is very bad!

Q-3: Unicron is about to be revived by Megatron.

Q-2: Oh, my! What are we ever to do?

Q-1: We must fight!

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

Q-3: No. Fighting is our last option. We must first re-enforce our precious planets.

Q-2: Yes, that’s right. A strong defense is the answer.

Q-3: All we need do is to re-energize them with Energon.

Qs: We must protect our planets!

Optimus: Miranda II, launch!

Kicker: So Optimus, fill us in on this Omega Supreme dude.

Optimus: Eons ago, he fought Unicron while searching out Energon.

Kicker: Eons ago?

Optimus: Yes, it was light years before we ever existed.

Kicker: I can’t even imagine that far back.

Optimus: And after, he became the guardian of a great store of Energon.

Kicker: So, he did defeat Unicron, right?

Optimus: According to the legend.

Kicker: Wait a sec. Then he must know how we can defeat Unicron!

Ironhide: Aw, that would be sweet!

Rodimus: I wouldn’t get your hopes up, Ironhide.

Ironhide: What?

Kicker: So what makes you think you know everything, huh?!

Misha: Kicker!

Rodimus: And what if Omega doesn’t have the answer? That might give Megatron enough time to succeed.

Kicker: Erghhhh…

Rodimus: Our only priority right now is to destroy Megatron.

Hot Shot: Optimus, I’ve just locked onto Decepticons!

Ironhide: And they’re position is sector alpha zebra 5-7.

Kicker: They must be scoping out more Energon!

Optimus: All right, men! To your battlestations!

Scorponok: Gather up the Energon! Hahahahahahahaha…

Snow Cat: Boy, this place is sure in the middle of nowhere.

Demolishor: Heheh, and there’s no one here to bother us, either.

Starscream: Oh, would you two please shut up — and keep your eyes peeled.

Mirage: Uh oh…

Starscream: Huh? What is it, Mirage?! What’s wrong?!

Mirage: Where did Shockblast go?

Demolishor: Yeah, I never even noticed he was gone.

Snow Cat: Why, that snake! He’s gone AWOL!

Shockblast: Heheh… Go do your work, boys… And when you’re done, I’ll be in charge around here!

Scorponok: What?!

Snow Cat: Autobots! Ahuhhhuhuh!

Demolishor: Aaahh!

Starscream: We’ve got to give the Terrorcons cover to protect the Energon!

Demolishor: Huh-huh! Hgh-uhhhh!

Mirage: Must destroy Autobots!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.)

Optimus: Okay men, let’s do this!

Autobots: Yessir!

Jetfire: Follow me, boys! Transform!

Optimus: Optimus Prime!

Wing Saber: Wing Saber!

Optimus & Wing Saber: Powerlinx!

Optimus: Powerlinx complete!

Jetfire: You’re not going anywhere!

Snow Cat: Think again, flyboy! Ha!

Mirage: Hahahahahaha!

Jetfire: Time to show ya what I’m packin’!

Demolishor: Okey doodles! It looks like we’re outpowered!

Snow Cat: Keep firing!

Starscream: Scorponok, take the Terrorcons and head back to base!

Scorponok: But, Starscream —

Starscream: Unicron needs the Energon now, so get it in gear!

Mirage: Megatron is counting on us!

Scorponok: All right, then. Terrorcons, retreat!

Hot Shot: Not so fast!

Ironhide: Oh no! Hot Shot’s in trouble. Hang on! Yes!

Demolishor, Mirage & Starscream: Hahahahaha!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.)

Hot Shot: Not… so fast.

Optimus: Stay on them, men. Take out as many Terrorcons as you can!

[Transition]

Scorponok: Hurry!

Demolishor, Mirage & Starscream: Hahahahaha!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.)

Kicker: You’ve gotta be careful, Optimus. A part of Unicron is dead ahead!

Optimus: Huh?

Ironhide: Holy smokes.

Rodimus: And it’s nearly complete.

Kicker: Misha, try zooming in on it.

Misha: You got it, Kicker.

Kicker: Huh?

Scorponok: Hurry up and drop the Energon onto Unicron!

Megatron: Hhhh…. You fool!

Shockblast: Whoaaaa! Uhhhaaahh! Urggh! Uh… Uh?!

Megatron: What are you doing here?! Well, Shockblast?

Shockblast: I — I was just returning from battle, sir!

Megatron: So where’s the rest of them?

Shockblast: Uh, they’re — they’re right behind me.

Demolishor: Huhh, huh, hggh!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.)

Starscream: We’re back, Megatron! But we’re under heavy enemy fire! We could use a little backup!

Megatron: Ha! Hold them off, men. Very soon Unicron will be revived and then we’ll be victorious. I just need a little more time.

Kicker: Heads up, guys. Unicron’s on the move.

Optimus: I want everyone to head down onto Unicron and start blasting. I’ll find Megatron and hopefully, I can take care of him once and for all. Now let’s move out.

Autobots: Yes, sir!

Optimus: Aaah! Aah! Fire!

Jetfire: Whooohaaaa!

Bulkhead: Yaaahoooo!

Rodimus: Open fire!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Glad you could make it, ladies!

Demolishor: Hggh, huh! Good one, Snow Cat!

Rodimus: Leave these clowns to me! You try and make your way inside! Okay men, let’s do this!

Hot Shot, Downshift, Ironhide & Cliffjumper: Right!

Hot Shot: Hot Shot!

Downshift: Downshift!

Hot Shot & Downshift: Powerlinx!

Hot Shot: Powerlinx Hot Shot!

Ironhide: Ironhide!

Cliffjumper: Cliffjumper!

Ironhide & Cliffjumper: Powerlinx!

Ironhide: Powerlinx Ironhide! Urggh, uggh!

Hot Shot: One more time!

Ironhide: You got it!

Hot Shot & Ironhide: Aaaah!

Cliffjumper: Man, we’re not even putting a dent in it.

Rodimus: There’s got to be an opening some place. Look for it.

Hot Shot & Cliffjumper: Yessir!

Optimus: Huh?

Hot Shot & Cliffjumper: Huh?

Optimus: This one’s mine.

Scorponok: Anytime!

Jetfire: Rockin’ and rollin’!

Starscream: Aaargghh! Rggh! Come back here!

Megatron: Those Autobots are really starting to annoy me. Especially Prime. Time to eliminate him! Step aside, Scorponok! I’ll finish him. Hrggghhh!

Jetfire & Starscream: Yaaaahh!

Megatron: Hahahahahahahahaha!

Kicker: Heads up, Optimus! Unicron’s on you!

Optimus: Huh?!

Jetfire: He’s right!

Optimus: C’mon, Jetfire. We’ve got a job to do. All Autobots, retreat now!

Kicker: Everyone! Ya gotta get outta there! And hurry, or you’ll be crushed!

Rodimus: Hmm?! Let’s pack it up, men!

Snow Cat: Heheheha! Not so fast!

Rodimus: This way!

Hot Shot: Disengage!

Downshift & Hot Shot: Transform!

Cliffjumper: Disengage!

Cliffjumper & Ironhide: Transform!

Ironhide: Aww, man, they’re all over us!

Hot Shot: Just forget about them and keep your eyes on the road, Ironhide!

Ironhide: Awwgghh! Ugghh! Transform! Huh? Aww…

Kicker: That must — be him…

Optimus: Omega Supreme.

Rodimus: Hurry, Ironhide! We’ve gotta get outta here.

Ironhide: Huh? Yikes! Transform! Hey, wait for me!

Scorponok: Who is that?

Starscream: He’s not on our side!

Scorponok: Then I’ll eliminate him.

Scorponok & Starscream: Yaaaaahhh!

Scorponok: Not… good!

Starscream: You’re telling me! Ugghh! Aaaahh!

Scorponok: Aaaahh!

Optimus: You’re the one…

Omega Supreme: Omega Supreme. I was programmed to defeat Unicron.

Optimus: But first we must provide cover for my soldiers.

Omega Supreme: Then let us begin.

Kicker: Oh, wow. He’s so cool.

Misha: Huh?

Kicker: Huh? Hey Misha, what’s up?

Misha: It’s one of the warning sensors.

Kicker: So what’s it mean?

Arcee: Oh, would ya just relax? I’m working on it, okay, Kicker? This isn’t good.

Misha: It’s the Energon towers!

Roadblock: So, what’s happening on board the Miranda II?

Kicker: Hmm. No way! Inferno?! Is that you, Inferno?!

Roadblock: It’s me! Upgraded and reformatted to Roadblock. Missed you too, guys!

Kicker: I’d never forget you, buddy!

Roadblock: And I brought the Energon towers you requested.

Ironhide: Oh, man! We’re trapped down here!

Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Haha! This is too easy!

Decepticons: Aah!

Kicker: Optimus! Great news! Inferno — uh, Roadblock — showed up with the Energon towers!

Optimus: What?! We’ve been waiting for you, Roadblock.

Roadblock: Thank you, sir!

Optimus: No, thank you. Autobots, retreat from Unicron immediately!

Megatron: No! Not this time! You’re mine, Prime.

Ironhide: It’s Inferno!

Hot Shot: I don’t believe it!

Roadblock: Believe it!

Rodimus: Hmm, I wonder what Optimus is up to.

Ironhide: Huh?!

Kicker: Oh, wow!

Unicron: Aaaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!

Prowl: Uh! Oh no, it didn’t work!

Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha! You incompetent fools. Did you really think you could defeat Unicron that easily? Ha, ha, ha, ha! The Energon orb is all mine, ’cause I want Unicron’s head back.

Optimus: Everyone, we must protect the Energon orb. Prepare for attack! We’ve got to stop Megatron from reviving Unicron.

Kicker: And we’ve gotta hurry. We’re running outta time. But the question is… how?! It’s like almost impossible.

Unicron: Errrrrggghhaarrrrrrgghhhh!

Episode Notes

-I will now use a transition tag whenever I see a fade out to a new scene to organize things more.

-It sounds like Prowl voices Jetfire’s line “Okay, if communications are clearing up, how come we haven’t heard from Wing Saber?”.

-When Bulkhead, Downshift and Cliffjumper are firing, the Decepticons provide the grunts.

-Cliffjumper delivers most of Powerlinx Ironhide’s lines.

-The phrase “not so fast” is delivered twice (in a row) by Hot Shot and once by Snow Cat, all in this episode.

Transformers: Energon
“Crash Course” – Episode 34
Written by Voicebox Productions

–
Dr. Jones: (Clears throat.) Hi, Kicker! Greetings from Cybertron! We thought we’d send you a little message and say “hi.” We just arrived here on the Miranda II! The Energon grid has been working perfectly, so now we have a strong network defense in place. And I’m so very pleased. Not long ago it was just a crazy dream, but thanks to the Autobots, that dream came true! Oh, Kicker, I’m so proud of you. I’m so proud of my whole family in these really tried times and you’ve contributed so much! Good job, son, and thank you! Sorry I get all — …

Miranda: Yes, dear, we know how proud you are, especially of Kicker.

Sally: I don’t miss you at all, bro. You can stay away as long as you want.

Miranda: Just remember to eat properly and take your vitamins, honey!

Sally: And say hello to Misha for me, okay?

Dr. Jones: And please don’t stop looking for Energon! We need a constant supply to maintain the grid.

Kicker: Erggggghhh…! Hgh!

Misha: Why’d you turn it off, Kicker? What’s wrong? Don’t you want to see the rest of the message?

Kicker: Not really. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Enough mushy stuff, already… Huh?! Hey, quit fooling around, Misha! I’m serious! Huh?!

Misha: Hehehehe…

Kicker: Sally!

Sally: Hey there, big brother!

Kicker: What’s up — what are you doing here?

Sally: Just never you mind, Kicker. I have business of my own to attend to.

Kicker: Who brought you?

Hot Shot: Sorry, Kicker. I guess you’re not the only one with special missions.

Kicker: Huh? What are you talkin’ about, anyway? Oh well, you’re here now, so make yourself at home. But if you wanna stay, you gotta work. Because we’re still on the lookout for Energon and the Decepticons, too.

Sally: Don’t sweat it, bro. I may be your little sister, and I know you don’t believe it, but I do know how to take care of myself.

Kicker: Yeah, but things could get dangerous and I don’t want you to get hurt.

Hot Shot: Everybody’s gotta stay alert. The Decepticons have been destroying planets, so they mean business. They’ll do anything to get the Energon — anything at all.

Kicker: They’ll even destroy planets… Man…

Hot Shot: Kicker, lighten up. It’s not all bad news. We’ve got this planet taken care of. There’s a new Energon grid being put in place right now.

Kicker: Yeah? How come nobody told me about that?

Hot Shot: Well, maybe you should come to the morning roll call.

Kicker: Huh…

Scorponok: This is the drop site. Bombs away!

Snow Cat: (Singing) I’m gonna get me some of that sweet Energon… (Yodels.) Eeegh. What’s going on?! Is it an earthquake?

Demolishor: It’s Megatron! He’s on the throne again!

Snow Cat: What has he been eating?

Demolishor: It’s the Energon. He’s crazy for it! He sits around in the dark because he doesn’t want to waste any of it.

Starscream: Megatron, we’re feeding Unicron with Energon, as you requested. But we’ll need a lot more to complete the project, sir.

Megatron: Just finish it! Hgh… Hgghh… I’m tired of all this waiting around. If it weren’t for those accursed Autobots…

Shockblast: Why blame the Autobots when you’re the one to blame?

Megatron: I heard that.

Shockblast: Huh?

Megatron: Urgh!

Shockblast: Aaah! What did you do that for?!

Megatron: Shockblast!

Shockblast: Y-yes…?

Megatron: Fight me!

Shockblast: But — but why, Megatron?

Megatron: Because you think that you are a better leader than me? Come on, prove it.

Ironhide: I’ve got the size and the power, but I still feel like something’s missing. Optimus, Hot Shot and all the other Autobots seem to know how to handle themselves, but — I still feel like a rookie. I just need a chance to prove myself. Darn! What do they know that I haven’t figured out yet?

Hot Shot: Ironhide…

Ironhide: Hot Shot?

Hot Shot: Have you got a few minutes to spare? C’mon, I wanna show ya something. We’ll be back in a little while!

Jetfire: I wonder where they’re going. Hey, I could use some R&R. Why don’t we follow ’em?

Kicker: That’s a great idea. Let’s do it, Jetfire. After all, we can’t let them have all the fun now, can we?

Jetfire: All work and no play makes me one bored Autobot! Transform!

Misha: Kicker?

Kicker: See ya, Misha!

Misha: Hhh!

Kicker: Hold down the fort till we get back!

Misha: Why do I have to stay?! I like fun too! With everyone gone, it sure is quiet here.

Arcee: Here’s why.

Misha: What’s that? Did you find a new planet, Arcee?

Arcee: Well, not exactly new. Everyone else seems to know about it.

Misha: But why is everyone going there, huh?

Arcee: I guess you could call it their own personal playground. Mmm-heheheh… Boys will be boys!

Misha: Mm-heheheh…

Hot Shot & Ironhide: Transform!

Ironhide: Huh? Whoa, what is this place?

Hot Shot: Ohh-ho, you’ll see. It’s a great place to practice your driving skills, bud.

Ironhide: Driving?

Hot Shot: Yeah! C’mon, I’ll show ya.

Ironhide: Hot Shot, why do I have to practice my driving? Hey! Did Kicker say I was a lousy driver or something? Hot Shot… Awww, are we almost there yet?

Hot Shot: The starting line is just up ahead.

Ironhide: Starting line?

Hot Shot: Here we are, Ironhide. So, whaddya think?

Ironhide: Huh?! What is this?!

Sally: Hey everybody, we’re getting really close to the start of the very first Autobot Grand Prix. Now I know all of you have been wondering who’s got the fastest wheels in the universe. Well, today we’re gonna find out! My name’s Sally, and I’m joined in the announcing booth by Mr. Personality himself, Skyblast!

Skyblast: Thanks, Sally. It’s great to be here.

Sally: Oh, and by the way, this event is being broadcast live all across the universe. This sure is exciting, isn’t it, Skyblast?

Skyblast: You betcha.

Sally: Who do you think will win?

Skyblast: That’s a tough one.

Ironhide: Hot Shot, why didn’t you tell me you were gonna enter me into a race? The competition looks tough. I dunno if I’m ready.

Hot Shot: Relax, you’ll be fine. You’re as good of a driver as any of any of these guys. If you do the best you can, I’m sure you’re gonna make it to the winner’s circle.

Ironhide: Okay, if you say so.

Downshift, Prowl & Cliffjumper: Transform!

Prowl: Well, well, look who it is. Ironhide, shouldn’t you be up in the stands where you belong?

Downshift: Yeah, this race isn’t for rookies like you.

Cliffjumper: Give it up. There’s no chance you’re gonna be a high-performance machine like me.

Hot Shot: Ha, ha! I’m warning you guys, there’s a lot more to this kid than meets the eye. Right?

Ironhide: Huh? What?

Landmine: Transform! Once this race starts, it’s every bot for himself, so I hope you can handle it.

Ironhide: I can? Oh man, this is my one chance to show everybody what I’m really capable of.

Hot Shot: Hey Ironhide, the starting line is here. We go once around the planet and first one back wins.

Sally: All competitors get into vehicle mode and proceed to the starting line. The race is about to begin!

Hot Shot: Okay, you’re on your own! From now on, no more Mr. Nice Guy!

Sally: Autobots, start your engines!

Omnicons: Whoooooo! Yeaaah! (Various cheers.)

Ironhide: Dggh!

Sally: Racers, get ready! I’ll start the countdown. 3… 2… 1, go! They cleared the starting line. Hot Shot is out in front. Followed by Prowl, then Cliffjumper and Downshift. Bringing up the rear is Ironhide. He’s really gonna have to put the pedal to the metal if he wants to stay in this race.

Ironhide: Rats, I’m way behind! I gotta catch up with the rest of them.

Jetfire: Aww, man! The fun’s already started…

Kicker: A road race! Let’s get down there, I don’t wanna miss this! Hey, where’s Ironhide?

Jetfire: There he is! Right down there.

Kicker: Wow, he’s way out in the lead.

Jetfire: No… He’s in last place.

Kicker: In last place?!

Rodimus: Oh, Optimus…

Optimus: What is it, Rodimus? What are you so interested in?

Rodimus: Well, the bots have been working really hard on the Energon grid, and it’s done. So, well, they’re racing.

Optimus: Racing? Whose idea was that? Who authorized this?!

Rodimus: I did.

Optimus: Well, I guess it’s all right. But keep an eye out for the Decepticons. We don’t want to get caught with our guard down.

Rodimus: Hmm… Of course.

Sally: They’re really tearing it up out there! The lead racers are just past the first checkpoint. But they better keep it under control, because there are some dangerous curves up ahead! And Ironhide’s on the move!

Ironhide: Yeah! Eat my dust! This is it, I’m going for it. Nobody’s gonna beat me! Huh?! Oh, turn!

Sally: Oh no! Ironhide’s crashed into the wall!

Jetfire: He’s got guts, but no brains.

Kicker: I’m going down there.

Jetfire: No, wait! Kicker!

Ironhide: My onlink… It’s outta whack.

Kicker: Hghhh!

Ironhide: Huh?

Kicker: Ironhide.

Ironhide: Uh, hey, Kicker…

Kicker: I think you need a few more driving lessons. Unhh!

Ironhide: So what are you doing? Hey, I can repair this myself!

Kicker: C’mon, we’re a team. Now put it in gear and I’ll steer!

Ironhide: Well, yeah, but uh…

Kicker: Move it, or we won’t be able to catch Hot Shot!

Ironhide: Aww, all right.

Jetfire: Nice work, Kicker. He’s back in the race.

Bulkhead: Hey! Jetfire! Why don’t we make this race a little more interesting?

Jetfire: Let’s do it!

Bulkhead: Heee, this is gonna be fun!

Kicker: Hit the brakes when we go into the corner.

Ironhide: The brakes?!

Kicker: Just do it! And floor it on the other side. Okay, here we go!

[Commercial]

Sally: Things are really heating up! It’s no surprise that Hot Shot’s leading the pack, but don’t count those rookies out yet. Boy, those bots are really battling it out. As the old saying goes, “it ain’t over till it’s over,” and there’s still a lot more racing. But it’s great so far, right, Skyblast?

Skyblast: Oh, for sure.

Sally: Oh no! A wipe out!

Downshift: Urgg, urgghhh!

Prowl: Owwww!

Sally: There’s trouble on the track! Downshift and Prowl have just had a major crash!

Hot Shot: I wonder where Ironhide is. I hope he was able to steer clear of that accident back there.

Ironhide: Aww, we’re still waiting on the others!

Kicker: This isn’t over yet. Still have a chance, just stay focused.

Prowl: Are you okay?

Generic Bot: Uhhh, yeah, I’m fine. I’m just a little banged up.

Downshift: Well, if he says he’s all right, then I’m gonna get back in the race.

Prowl: What?! This is all your fault, you know.

Downshift: Hey, no way. Racing is a risky business. Transform. See ya, losers.

Generic Bot: Just leave me here.

Prowl: Okay, but you take care of yourself. Transform! I’m gonna get ya, Downshift! Come back here, ya cheater!

Kicker: Looks like there was a pile up. Now’s our chance to make our move!

Ironhide: Okay, what should we do?

Kicker: Look at Prowl. See how he’s sticking close behind Downshift? He’s avoiding the wind resistance by staying in the draft.

Ironhide: Ohh, I get it!

Kicker: Hey, it’s all downhill now. C’mon, let’s get past Prowl.

Prowl: Ironhide! Where’d you come from?!

Kicker: Do it, Ironhide!

Ironhide: Okay!

Prowl: Hey, what are you doing?! Whoaaaa!

Kicker: Sorry, but ya snooze, ya lose.

Prowl: Transform! Creep! I’m gonna get you guys! Aaaaaahh!

Bulkhead: Time to heat things up. Heheheh. Here we go. Transform! Let ‘er rip! Yaaaaahh!

Hot Shot: Incoming!

Landmine: Aww, great!

Hot Shot, Landmine & Cliffjumper: Aaahh!

Bulkhead: Hahahaha! Now that’ll sort ’em out!

Hot Shot: We’re stuck! We can’t drive over that!

Cliffjumper: I can make it.

Landmine: What?!

Cliffjumper: I’ll show ya. Watch. Transform! It’s time for a little off-roading! See ya!

Hot Shot: Wait! Come back!

Ironhide: Hey, Kicker…

Kicker: What?

Ironhide: This race is all ours now!

Kicker: Concentrate on the road, Ironhide. Haven’t you figured out what Hot Shot is trying to teach you through this race?

Ironhide: Uhh, what’s that?

Kicker: He wants you to use your power wisely. Think about what you’re doing before you act.

Ironhide: What do you mean?

Kicker: Well, like using your brakes. Be aware of the course and what the other racers are doing. That’s the only way you’re gonna win this.

Ironhide: You’re right! Huh?

Downshift: What happened to the road?! Ugh! Ugh! Ah!

Kicker: Okay, now’s our chance. Let’s get ‘im! Go for it, Ironhide.

Ironhide: Okay, hang on!

Sally: We’re coming up to the last stage of the race! Cliffjumper is in the lead, followed by Hot Shot, then Landmine. But what’s this? Is it Ironhide? It is! And he’s coming on strong!

Kicker: Make your move, Ironhide. Get past Landmine. Do it now!

Ironhide: Uh, why is everyone slowing down?

Kicker: It’s hard to see in the tunnel, so naturally everyone here is down. But this is where your big lights come in handy!

Ironhide: Hot Shot!

Hot Shot: Ironhide? You’re still in the race?

Ironhide: Yup, and thanks to you and Kicker, I’ve figured out how I’m gonna win this.

Hot Shot: Oh yeah? We’ll see about that.

Ironhide: Oh no! What is that?

Kicker: Don’t sweat it. Figure it out. You can handle this.

Ironhide: Okay, I’m goin’ for it…

Hot Shot: Good job! You woulda been a goner if ya hesitated.

Ironhide: I know.

Hot Shot: The finish line is just up ahead. See ya there!

Ironhide: You’re on!

Cliffjumper: Man, I wanted to go off-roading, but not this far off road. Oh, man…

Jetfire: What is taking them so long? Oh, here they come. All gun ports open! Fire!

Hot Shot: Ironhide! There’s some more obstacles headed this way!

Ironhide: Obstacles?! Why are they firing at us? Uhh — no! Whoa!

Jetfire: Second wave… Launch!

Optimus: Isn’t the race over yet?

Jetfire: Wah-huh? Uh, well, almost. I thought a little missile fire would make it more entertaining.

Optimus: Well, I hope you’re using blanks.

Jetfire: Oh, I am, sir.

Optimus: Good, then I think I’ll join in.

Jetfire: What?!

Optimus: Let’s Powerlinx, Wing Saber.

Wing Saber: Yessir.

Optimus: Optimus Prime!

Wing Saber: Wing Saber!

Optimus & Wing Saber: Powerlinx!

Optimus: Powerlinx complete! Try this on for size! Ha, ha, ha…

Jetfire: Go — get ’em, sir…?

Hot Shot: Hey Ironhide, there’s the finish line! Now it’s time to win this baby!

Ironhide: I hope you won’t take it to personal when I smoke ya and take the checkered flag.

Hot Shot: Yeah? In your dreams, buddy!

Sally: The first ones back to the stadium are Hot Shot and Ironhide! And here they come now!

Crowd: Yeaahh! Whooo!

Ironhide: I’ve made it this far, so I have to win this!

Hot Shot: Optimus!

Optimus: Your last obstacle is — me!

Hot Shot: Oh no, not again… Agghh! Transform! Ugh. Nice shot!

Kicker: What happened? It’s like I’ve been hit by a semi…

Ironhide: Kicker, get out. I can handle it from here, bud.

Kicker: Go for it.

Ironhide: Transform! Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, aaaaahhh!

Optimus: Errrr-aagghh!

Ironhide: Aaaaah!

Hot Shot: Ironhide!

Ironhide: Aaah!

Optimus: Ha, ha. You’ll have to do a lot better than that!

Ironhide: Urghhh… Ugh.

Hot Shot: It’s time for you to focus!

Ironhide: Huh?

Hot Shot: Don’t think of Optimus as your commander anymore! Right now, he’s the enemy. Use all your power to bring him down any way you can.

Ironhide: Ughhh… I’ll do it!

Optimus: I’m warning you, Ironhide. I won’t hold back.

Ironhide: Gotta concentrate and figure out his every move. And use all my power.

Optimus: Aaaah!

Ironhide: I know, I can use his own weight against him.

Optimus: Yah!

Ironhide: I can do this!

Kicker: Yeah, you got ‘im, Ironhide!

Ironhide: Hot Shot, go for the finish line!

Hot Shot: What?!

Kicker: What are you saying?!

Ironhide: You deserve to win this race, buddy! You deserve it more than me. Now get going, okay?

Hot Shot: You sure?

Ironhide: Do it!

Hot Shot: Okay, I will. Transform!

Optimus: You’re letting him win the race? Are you — giving up?

Ironhide: I’ll beat you. I know I can.

Optimus: Ha, ha. You’ve already won, Ironhide.

Ironhide: Huh?

Optimus: You’ve learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what, your loyalty to your teammates will always pay off.

Ironhide: Yeah, I knew I did the right thing!

Optimus: But don’t let your guard down! Ugh!

Ironhide: Huh? Aaah!

Kicker: Ironhide!

Hot Shot: Oh no!

Sally: Something’s happening down on the track. Hot Shot was heading for an easy victory, but he suddenly stopped. It looks like Ironhide is out for good, and Arcee and a masked rider have come outta nowhere. They’re crossing the finish line, and they’re gonna win… Yes, they’ve done it! What an amazing turn of events. The Autobot Grand Prix has its first champion! Now let’s find out who this mysterious masked rider really is!

Misha: Hh. Heheh…

Sally: It’s Misha! Misha and Arcee are the winners.

Misha: We sure showed ’em, didn’t we?

Arcee: We sure did.

Optimus: Heh, so Misha and Arcee are the winners!

Hot Shot: Ha, ha! How ’bout that?

Ironhide: Who won? This race is all ours?

Kicker: Ugh. Well, it would’ve been if you hadn’t been so determined to show off for everybody.

Ironhide: Show off?

Kicker: Hahahaha!

Ironhide: Huh? Uhh, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Optimus, Hot Shot, Ironhide and Kicker: Hahahahaha!

Sally: Okay folks, let’s all have another big round of applause as we present our winners with the championship trophy!

Q-3: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Q-2: Hehehehehe!

Q-1: Why are we laughing?!

Q-3: Because the Autobots are!

Q-2: It feels good! I like it!

Q-1: Then all is well!

Q-2: It must be!

Q-3: Our planet is safe! Perhaps we don’t have to worry anymore!

Q-2: How wonderful!

Qs: Hahahahahahahahaha!

Kicker: Hot Shot, get Sally home safely, okay?

Hot Shot: Of course I will, because if I don’t, I know you’re gonna kick me. And I’ve already got enough dents on me left over from the race.

Sally: It’s been fun hanging around with you, big brother. Let’s do it again sometime. Don’t be a stranger, huh?

Kicker: I won’t, but I want you to tell Mom and Dad not to worry so much about me.

Sally: Okay, we’ll let your girlfriend do all the worrying for us.

Kicker: Uh…

Ironhide: Kicker, what does that mean? Girlfriend?

Kicker: Uh, nothing! Nothing at all!

Sally: Catch ya later, bro.

Hot Shot: Transform!

Megatron: Ughhh… Ugh! Hahahaha!

Shockblast: Aaaaahh!

Megatron: Do you still want to challenge me, Shockblast?

Starscream: Shockblast can’t take much more of this. And we do need him to complete the project.

Megatron: That’s too bad. I was just starting to get warmed up.

Starscream: Hmmm… Mmmm…

Megatron: Very well. We’ll continue this tomorrow. Huh…

Shockblast: Maybe if I could see… It’s so dark! Ugh…

Dr. Jones: Oh, wow. What’s this? Hm… Huh?! Could it be? I’ve heard of an ancient temple where Energon was placed as an offering to the great warrior who once protected Cybertron. Is it possible? Could the ancient lifeforce be stirring? Is the legendary hero awakening to help us now? Aaaaahh! Yes, it is! Omega Supreme!
