Narrator: The war between the Autobots and the Decepticons rages on, as they struggle to retrieve the prized Mini-Cons. There are new and more powerful Mini-Cons surfacing every day. If the Decepticons prove victorious, then Megatron, and his enslaved Mini-Cons will control the universe. The Earth’s only chance for a peaceful cosmos is for Optimus Prime and the Autobots to destroy their enemy, and free all Mini-Cons. Now, get ready for a new battle.

Narrator: In the last episode of Transformers: Armada, our heroes were pinned down on a beach by their arch enemies, the Decepticons. The fighting raged on, but something was about to change the fate of both sides.
Optimus: Huh?
Megatron: What is that? What is going on here?
Optimus: Hot Shot, do you feel that? Something’s coming.
Hot Shot: Optimus, sir! There. Check it out.
Smokescreen: Retreat!
Cyclonus: Ah! I’m gettin’ outta here!
Demolishor: Would someone please tell me what that thing is, huh?
Thrust: It’s finally arrived, Megatron! The Decepticon Tidal Wave is here with reinforcements, sir. And, in the nick of time.
Megatron: I’m assuming, Thrust, that this tiny vessel is on our side. We could use a little extra help to bolster the troops.
Thrust: Your victory is assured, with Tidal Wave’s experience in other battles, Megatron. Infact, he came directly here from the planet Debula, where he led his Decepticon troops to victory. The tide has indeed turned, sir.
Megatron: I’ve heard enough about how great he is, Thrust. My only concern is that he can back up your bold claims.
Thrust: No problem. Tidal Wave! Our supreme leader would like to see a little display of your firepower. Why don’t you give him a taste?
Optimus: Prepare for battle!
Carlos (VO): I will never forget the first time I saw that oversized floating fortress. I knew right then and there we were in big trouble. Now it was up to Optimus to get us out of this mess.
[Transition]
Hot Shot: That oversized arsenal’s got us pinned down butt good!
Thrust: Which means the Decepticons are free to collect all the Mini-Cons.
Smokescreen: This one is all mine, boys.
Optimus: Don’t be a fool, Smokescreen!
Cyclonus: Hehehehe… Oh, Autobots! Come out ‘n’ play!
Hot Shot: You okay, Smokescreen?
Smokescreen: Just graze me.
Starscream: Mind if I join the party?
Jetfire: Leave this one to me. Transform!
Starscream: Transform!
Thrust: Heh, heh, heh… There’s nothing sweeter than the smell of victory.
Carlos: Aw, man! They’re getting thrashed!
Billy: Yeah, and that battleship thing is smoking them butt good.
Carlos: Isn’t there something we can do, Rad?
Rad: Hey! Don’t look at me. I don’t have a clue.
Alexis: Guys! Check it out. Hot Shot and Blurr.
Blurr: Incinerator, powerlink!
Hot Shot: Jolt, powerlink!
Megatron: Oh, look, a couple of heroes. I’ll take care of them.
Cyclonus: Hehe, this is fun!
Smokescreen: We’ve got to cover Hot Shot and Blurr.
Carlos: Oh, man! What are they up to now, Red Alert?
Red Alert: Good question. I believe they’re coming around to attack the ship’s blind spot.
Billy: Blind spot?
Rad: I get it. If they attack from below, that battleship has no defense.
Thrust: Do they seriously think they can escape? Transform! Aahh, it’s always sad to see a soldier fall. Hahaha…
Jetfire: Transform!
Thrust: Hey! Let go! Let go of me now!
Jetfire: Sorry, no can do. Hey, I got an idea. How ’bout we go for a little dip?
Thrust: Errghh…
Jetfire: Huh? Hey, where’d he go? How’d he do that? You’re mine. Time to draw some of that heat away from the guys. Aaaaahhh! Whoa, whoa… I gotta come up with a better plan than that, or I’m toast.
Thrust: I hope you don’t mind if we join you. Hahaha!
Rad: Aw, man! Jetfire’s getting blasted from all sides.
Carlos: Get outta there!
Billy: He’s so doomed. What was that?
Jetfire: Nice shot… Hot Shot! Blurr! Keep going!
Thrust: No! That can’t be happening!
Hot Shot: Ha, ha! Good job, Blurr!
Blurr: Yeah!
Hot Shot: Y’know, that was a whole lot easier than I thought.
Blurr: Like they say, Hot Shot, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Heh.
Hot Shot: Yeah, you said it, Blurr. And this creep was a whopper. All right, who’s our next victim? How about conehead there?
Thrust: Let’s get outta here!
Rad: Yeah, all right!
Carlos: Yeah! The Autobots rule!
Billy: All right! Way to go!
Alexis: Yes! They did it.
Rad: Mmmhmm. They sure did. Now all they have to do is track down Megatron and this war war will be over.
Red Alert: Hmmm…
Alexis: Hang on. I’ll put on the big screen. Look, we’ve just detected another Mini-Con.
Rad: But isn’t that the same one we detected before?
Alexis: This is a new one. Wait, I mean two!
Rad, Carlos & Billy: Huh?
Carlos: You sure, Alexis?
Billy: If you include the first one, that makes three.
Fred: Does anybody have a candy bar? I’m feeling weak.
Rad: It looks like we’ve got a job to do. So, where are they?
Alexis: Hang on, Rad. Something weird’s happening.
Rad: What?
Alexis: The icon showing where the first Mini-Con is seems to be frozen, and the other is pointing up into the sky.
Carlos: Call me loco, but what’s all that mumbo jumbo mean, Alexis?
Alexis: I haven’t figured it out myself, Carlos.
Rad: And we better hurry. They’re saying that they’ve come to life.
Alexis: And the frozen icon means there’s a meaning right here on the base!
Rad: Then it’s up to us to find that one, guys.
Alexis: You’re right, Rad.
Rad (VO): I sure hope so.
[Commercial]
Rad: C’mon, let’s follow ’em!
Carlos, Fred & Billy: Yeah!
Alexis: I’ll stay put, and monitor the situation from here, you guys.
Rad: Good plan, Alexis!
Megatron: Your poultry secret weapon was a complete bust, Thrust! It sunk like a toy in a child’s bathtub! Is that your idea of reinforcements?
Thrust: But it wasn’t supposed to happen like this, sir. Believe me, Megatron, no one has even so much as scratched him before. If you can hear my voice, Tidal Wave, give me a sign! Fire a shot, do something! Anything!
Alexis: All right, the third Mini-Con is somewhere above us. But the question is, how can it be hidden in the sky? That’s impossible. Wait a minute, I think I’ve got it! Yes! The signal is from above, and it’s coming from moon.
Red Alert: Nice piece of detective work, Alexis.
Sideways: Yes, she was rather impressive.
Red Alert & Alexis: Huh?
Sideways: To be perfectly honest, I never thought she’d figure it out.
Alexis: Look, it’s Sideways!
Sideways: I imagine you already know there’s a Mini-Con somewhere on this base.
Red Alert: What are you trying to prove?
Sideways: Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh… Settle down, Red Alert. I’ve come to bring you a very important message.
Fred: I really hate to complain, guys, but can we rest for a while? I wore the wrong shoes and I’m starting to get a blister!
Rad: Aw, would you forget about your feet, Fred? We’ve got a Mini-Con to find.
Billy: Yeah, and you might wanna change your socks once in a while, Freddy boy.
Carlos: Yeah, dude. They wreak big time. Hey, maybe these three Mini-Cons are the kind that join together to form another weapon. Like the Star Saber.
Fred: Oh no! Now I gotta go to the bathroom!
Billy: Awww! You just went ten minutes ago!
Carlos: Aw, would you stop whining, Fred?
Fred: I can’t. I was born this way.
Alexis: Req– Requiem Blaster?
Sideways: It’s the most powerful weapon in the universe. It can blast through the galaxy at the blink of an eye! And the three Mini-Cons you’re looking for — well, when they link, they become the Requiem Blaster.
Red Alert: But what I don’t get is, why are you telling us?
Sideways: Nevermind that. But if you want to rescue Optimus and his men, you better find those Mini-Cons.
Alexis: That’s not right, because the Autobots are winning the battle.
Sideways: Don’t be so sure.
Red Alert: I’ve had just about enough of your games! I’m warning you, Sideways, tell us whose side you’re on, or you’re history!
Sideways: Heh! What does it matter whose side I’m on? If you’re smart, you’ll listen to what I’ve told you and use the information wisely. If not, then like so many other civilizations, you will be destroyed.
Alexis: Everything you’ve been saying are all lies!
Sideways: Each second you waste could be the Autobots’ last. So you’d better hurry.
Alexis: They were — they were all lies, right?
Red Alert: But why would he lie to us, Alexis? I may not like him, but what he is saying just might have some truth to it.
Alexis: So what do we — what do we do?
Cyclonus: Owhow! That hurts my — cut it out!
Demolishor: Get up, Cyclonus, and fight!
Jetfire: It’s time to wrap this little tea party up!
Blurr: Optimus, sir! Look!
Jetfire: Now what’s going on?
Optimus: It couldn’t be…
Thrust: Excellent…
Megatron: What? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. A new warrior. So, this is the one they call Tidal Wave.
Thrust: You know what to do. Finish them off.
Alexis: He was right… Sideways said they needed our help.
Carlos: Ah, no big deal or nothing, guys, but do we know where we’re going? Heh, sorry, High Wire. I didn’t mean to doubt you, dude.
Fred: Hey guys, my thighs are rubbing and my underwear’s riding up.
Rad: We’re almost there.
Billy: You know, Rad, it always amazes me to think we’re inside an ancient spaceship.
Rad: I doubt it was in this kinda shape when it crashed here.
Billy: Yeah, good point. Really good point.
Fred: Aaaahh!
Rad: Carlos?
Carlos: Don’t look at me! I’m as freaked as you.
Rad: Then it’s Fred!
Fred: Uhhh… oh… owww…
Rad: Fred, if you’re down there, answer me.
Carlos: Hey Rad, why don’t you try moving the light around?
Fred: Don’t worry. I’m fine. I just fell.
Billy: Well, are you okay, buddy?
Fred: Yeah, I’m all right, but there’s something down here you should see.
Carlos: What?!
Fred: You are not gonna believe what I just found!
Carlos: Hey Fred! Are you sure you didn’t land on your head?
Fred: You gotta see it. It’s bright… A-and it’s shiny.
Billy, Carlos & Rad: Are you serious?
Tidal Wave: Cannonball Laser Storm!
Megatron: My word, now that is what I call one finely tuned piece of military machinery. Yesss.
Hot Shot: Aww, man. Doesn’t this creep ever have to reload?
Blurr: No kidding.
Scavenger: Smokescreen, do you think you can get a clear shot?
Smokescreen: I’m too far out of range, Scavenger, but I’ll try to sneak up and fire off a few rounds.
Jetfire: Optimus! We’re like sitting ducks out here.
Optimus: You’re right, Jetfire. Let’s go for it!
Jetfire: Powerlink!
Optimus: Powerlink! Transform!
Jetfire: Transform!
Fred: See it? Over there.
Rad: Let’s let the Mini-Cons scope it out. Okay, but be careful.
Fred: Hey! Wait for me!
Megatron: So, how about showing me your grand finale?
Tidal Wave: Laser Cannonball Attack!
Rad, Carlos, Billy & Fred: Whooaa…
Rad: My name’s Rad, and it’s sure nice to finally meet ‘cha.
Carlos: You can call me Carlos!
Billy: The name’s Billy!
Fred: Oh, and I’m Frederick.
Rad: We’d better get you up to the base.
Jetfire & Optimus: Oh no!
Jetfire: Gotcha.
Alexis: Optimus!
Tidal Wave: Hehehehe, hahahaha!
Rad: I wonder what’s up with him.
Carlos: I think he’s — confused or something. Huh? Hey, watch it!
Rad: Hey, what do you think you’re doing? Where ya going? Come back here, we’re your friends!
Tidal Wave: Hehehahaha! Huh?
Hot Shot: Optimus, run for it!
Jetfire: Oh no!
Optimus: Oh no…
Tidal Wave: Heheheheheh… Hehehehehehahaha….
Carlos (VO): This was the strangest thing I’d ever seen. A Mini-Con running away from us, as if we were the enemy! It didn’t make any sense, but we knew we had to capture it — for the Autobots’ sake, and for the sake of the entire universe.
Narrator: Has time run out for Optimus Prime? Will Shockwave destroy the Autobots, making Megatron master of the universe? There’s only one way to find out — on the next exciting episode of Transformers: Armada.
