Kicker: (VO) Optimus is leading the Autobots on a mission to put a stop Megatron and his plans to take over the universe. But there is a whole lot more going on; Alpha Q has sent out thousands of Terrorcons to retrieve Energon and once he has enough, he plans on reviving the most fearsome Transformer in the universe, Unicron. Unicron is our ultimate enemy. We must not let Megatron, Alpha Q or anyone else revive him! Now, something even stranger has happened. Optimus’ old comrade Rodimus has shown up and he’s working with Alpha Q to bring Unicron back to life! What started as Optimus’ plan to bring Energon to the universe has turned into a war between the Autobots, the Decepticons and the mysterious Alpha Q. This is so crazy. Megatron, Alpha Q and Rodimus all want Unicron revived. What will happen to the universe if they succeed?
Optimus: Gentlemen! Your attention, please! All stations ready?
Autobots: Yessir!
Kicker: (VO) It seems the entire universe is against us and we’re running out of time. This is way beyond anything we expected. At the rate both Megatron and Alpha Q are amassing Energon, Optimus figures it won’t be long before they get the job done. Even the Miranda II, with all of its high tech gadgets and weapons that my dad designed and built, doesn’t hold a candle to what Unicron can throw at us.
Optimus: Misha, prepare to deploy the Energon grid.
Misha: System initiated. And I’m amping up the Energon power as I speak, Optimus-sir.
Optimus: Remember team, our ultimate goal is to hit Unicron with everything we’ve got inorder to put him out of commission for good!
Hot Shot & Inferno: Yessir!
Optimus: Everyone stay close to your stations. Once Unicron begins to move, we’ll need to act on the double! Inferno, take her to full throttle!
Inferno: Yes, sir!
Kicker: All right! Once we get inside Unicron, we’re gonna fry him with the Energon grid! We’re finally gonna shut ‘im down!
Optimus: Begin offensive deployment sequence. Extend peripheral Energon deflection shield! Deploy Energon transmitting antennae and engage Energon grid!
Misha: I’ve engaged the Energon grid, sir. Grid set to maximum output! Grid is fully operational and all systems are go!
Snow Cat: Ooohhhh, this isn’t good, this isn’t good! Those Autobots are coming right at us! Ahaah!
Tidal Wave: Bad news!
Megatron: Oh, those feeble fools are mere insects compared to the power that I yield.
Demolishor: Whooaaaaaa! All right! Give it up for Megatron, yeeeeeeaaaaaaaah!
Megatron: I can hardly wait to see the look on Prime’s face when he’s defeated.
Optimus: Jetfire, Hot Shot, standby to attack!
Inferno & Hot Shot: Roger that, sir!
Optimus: Commence attack!
Kicker: Ergh! This is useless! We’re not even doing any damage!
Optimus: Kick in the Energon power boost! We’re attacking with everything we’ve got, men! Better hang on. We’re going in.
Megatron: Oh, come now, Optimus. If that’s what you call an attack, you’re sadly mistaken. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! How ’bout we crush that bug?
Unicron: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!
Kicker: Uh? Oh no! It’s coming to life!
Optimus: Turn the ship around!
Megatron: Ugh… Why you…!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Tidal Wave: Prime got away!
Demolishor: Errrrrrrr… You almost had him, Megatroooonnn! Aaaah!
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Let’s see you get out of this tight squeeze, Optimus!
Misha & Kicker: Ergh!
Kicker: Oh, man! If we don’t stop on, we’re gonna be crushed!
Optimus: I need everything you’ve got, Inferno.
Inferno: Yes, sir!
Optimus: Put it into redline if you have to.
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I never thought — in my wildest dreams — this would be so easy!
Optimus: Pull back throttle, we’re clear!
Unicron: Errrrrrraaaaarggggggghhhh!
Optimus: Inferno, status report.
Inferno: Main engines appear to be a-okay, sir. And by the looks of it, everything else is running normally.
Misha: Huh? Optimus, I can’t get the Energon grid to respond!
Skyblast: The transmitting antennae have been chewed up!
Strongarm: We can’t repair it from in here, sir.
Optimus: Not good news.
Kicker: Unicron’s on our tail!
Optimus: What if we could lure it into the spacebridge? Skyblast, I want you to open the return gate!
Skyblast: Yessir!
Demolishor: Heh, heheh! Look, Megatron! They’ve opened the gate!
Tidal Wave: Are they trying to escape to Earth?
Starscream: What?!
Snow Cat: (Yodels quickly.) Don’t worry, Starscream! With Megatron as our leader, those Auto-boneheads have no place to run!
Starscream: I say we go after them!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Demolishor: Heh… heh…
Tidal Wave: Wait for me!
Megatron: And remember, I want Prime alive!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave!
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha… Hahahahahaha!
Hot Shot: Looks like we’ve got company, Optimus!
Optimus: Report to your battle stations, men!
Hot Shot / Inferno: Yes, sir!
Snow Cat: Ready or not, here we come, Auto-scum! Hahahaha! (Yodels quickly.)
Demolishor: Heh, heh, heheh… Raaaaaaaaurrrrrgghhh!
Optimus: Follow my lead. Optimus Prime, Powerlinx! Fire-1, combine! Copter-2, combine! Digger-3, combine! Submarine-4! Optimus Prime, Powerlinx complete!
Inferno: Inferno!
Hot Shot: Hot Shot!
Inferno & Hot Shot: Powerlinx!
Inferno: Powerlinx Inferno!
Optimus: Fire at will, men!
Inferno: Eraaaugh! Ergh! Ergh!
Optimus: Stay close to the ship!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave!
Skyblast: Oh, why are they taking their sweet time getting to the spacebridge?
Strongarm: First they have to fight off the Decepticons.
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Demolishor: Hgh! Hgh! Hgh!
Optimus: Hurry, men! To the spacebridge! Let’s move it!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave!
Demolishor: Aaaaarrrrggggghhh!
Snow Cat: Hahaaaha!
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave!
Demolishor: Hohohohoh, hoho, aaaargggghhh!
Prowl: I can’t believe we’re stuck here in Unicron’s head just watching all this.
Landmine: Yeah, while the Decepticons and Autobots are out there fighting over the rest of Unicron.
Prowl: What happened?!
Landmine: Unicron’s body just — just disappeared!
Q-4: It is because Optimus is attempting to destroy him.
Rodimus: Why wouldn’t Optimus listen to me before?
Q-4: Is there no way to stop him?
Rodimus: This battle is out of my hands.
Ironhide: Arggh… Ahhh. Uhh… Hhh… Uhh… Ugh. Kicker?
Rodimus: Kick-er…?
Q-4: I believe he’s referring to the young human male.
Rodimus: Oh, yes. Him.
Kicker: Huh? Ironhide!
Strongarm: We can’t worry about him!
Skyblast: Yeah, we gotta move fast!
Kicker: Wait, we can’t leave Ironhide behind!
Skyblast: Huh? But there’s no time, Kicker!
Kicker: I want you to drop me off right before the skybridge. That’s where me and Ironhide got split up.
Optimus: Huh?! What’s going on, Kicker?! Why are you out here?
Kicker: It’s Ironhide. I can sense him calling me!
Optimus: Are you sure, Kicker?
Kicker: Absolutely one hundred percent!
Optimus: That is a problem. But there’s no time right now.
Kicker: You’re not serious… Ironhide’s my partner! Hghh, come on, Optimus! Don’t you realize he’s taking on Unicron and Alpha Q all by himself out there?!
Optimus: That was his decision.
Kicker: And it was a bad one!
Optimus: In a word, yes.
Kicker: Hrgghh… You do what you have to, but I’m going after him.
Misha: No, Kicker! Don’t do it!
Kicker: Huh? Misha…
Misha: No, Kicker, it’s too dangerous to go by yourself!
Kicker: I don’t care what anybody says, I’m not gonna let my partner down no matter what!
Misha: Kicker, you’ve got to reconsider this.
[Commercial]
Snow Cat: (Yodels.) Ahaha!
Jetfire: Ya can’t let him go, Optimus!
Optimus: Kicker is concerned about his partner.
Jetfire: Then we’ll have to use force!
Optimus: I suggest we cut ‘im some slack!
Jetfire: Well, you’re the boss around here!
Snow Cat: Hahahaa! (Yodels.) Ahaha! (Yodels.)
Inferno: Raaaurgghh!
Optimus: Kicker, do what you have to do and we’ll back you up once we’ve disposed of these Decepticons.
Kicker: Optimus?!
Optimus: Just don’t do anything crazy, understand?
Kicker: You got it, big guy! Huh? Grindor! All right, you came! Ugh. Hang in there, Ironhide.
Ironhide: Ahh, ah… Ahh, ahhh. What’s… keeping you… Kicker? Uhh?
Rodimus: So, you’re awake.
Ironhide: Awww. Somebody get the number of that asteroid? Ohhh… Ahhh… Ugh…
Rodimus: Please don’t worry about your human companion. I can assure you he will remain safe, Ironhide.
Ironhide: Aww… He’d better be, or else you’re in… awgh…
Prowl: Just relax. It’s not like you’re in any shape to help him.
Q-4: Scorponok, I request that you tend to him.
Scorponok: Yes, Alpha Q.
Ironhide: So you’re —
Scorponok: That’s right. And he’s been wanting to meet you for quite some time.
Q-4: Yess…
Ironhide: Alpha Q?
Kicker: Okay, Ironhide. Which way do I go? You gotta help me, buddy. Hghh?
Misha: So there you are.
Kicker: Misha?
Strongarm: That Misha’s as stubborn as Kicker is.
Skyblast: Well, that’s humans for ya!
Tidal Wave: Tidal Wave, transform!
Snow Cat: We’ve gotcha now! Transform!
Demolishor: Transform!
Jetfire: You’re all mine, Starscream! Hyah. Transform!
Starscream: Waah! I don’t think so! Transform!
Inferno: Split up! Can ya take care of them, Hot Shot?
Hot Shot: Try to stop me!
Inferno: Transform!
Hot Shot: Transform! Raurrgh!
Snow Cat: Aaaaahhh!
Demolishor: Ohhh!
Inferno: Aaah!
Demolishor: Hrggh! Arggh!
Optimus: Skyblast! Take all engines to full throttle.
Strongarm: Has Optimus completely lost it?! We’re still pointed directly at Unicron!
Skyblast: Just do what you’re told, Strongarm!
Kicker: So why’d ya follow me out here, Misha?
Misha: Hey, Kicker. Someone has to cover your back.
Kicker: You?
Misha: Yeah, me. You got a problem with that? Ironhide is my friend too.
Kicker: What? You can’t be serious, Misha.
Misha: And why not, Kicker? Ever heard of a concept called teamwork?
Kicker: Eghhh… Hh.
Starscream: Hold still, you annoying Autobot!
Jetfire: Sorry, but that’s not gonna happen, ’cause I got you locked on! Aha!
Starscream: Oh, I don’t think so!
Hot Shot: Gotta shake this Cat!
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Hot Shot: His yodelling is driving me nuts!
Snow Cat: Excuse me, pardon, coming through! Hahaha!
Demolishor: Are we having fun yet?! Argggh!
Inferno: So you wanna swap paint, huh? Well, how ’bout a new paintjob?! Aaaaaaahhhhh!
Optimus: We’re running out of time. Huh? Come on, men! We’ve gotta get outta here!
Megatron: Tidal Wave! Would you get out of the way?
Tidal Wave: Who, me?
Skyblast & Strongarm: Ahhh…
Optimus: Ugh… Let’s just hope this ship can hold together.
[Commercial]
Strongarm: A little help here would be nice, Skyblast!
Skyblast: Right!
Strongarm: We’re at max power, Optimus-sir!
Optimus: Everyone back onboard, stat! Okay, Rad, it’s up to you! Are ya set?
Rad: All systems go, Optimus. First, we’ll get you through that spacebridge.
Optimus: We’re counting on you.
Snow Cat: (Yodels.)
Demolishor: Transform!
Starscream: Transform!
Tidal Wave: Transform!
Megatron: Huh? Look, it’s —
Tidal Wave: Planet Cybertron…
Snow Cat: Wait! This must be some kind of Autobot trick!
Starscream: Why those…
Demolishor: Oooh, ooh, oooh, oooh, ohhh.
Starscream, Tidal Wave, Snow Cat & Demolishor: Aaaaaaahhhh!
Rad: Optimus, our trapped worked! Take that, Megatron!
Megatron: How dare you! How dare you, Prime! Aaaarrrrgghhh! You cannot destroy me that easily. I will reach out with Unicron and crush you!
Starscream, Tidal Wave, Snow Cat & Demolishor: Aaaarggghhh!
Megatron: You and your Autobots will pay for this, Prime. And my first victim will be planet Cybertron!
Inferno: Whoaa-ohh-ohhoohooh…
Hot Shot: It’s amazing.
Jetfire: Whoaa!
Inferno: Yeah!
Hot Shot: Looks like we did some serious damage.
Jetfire: Not enough to destroy Megatron.
Hot Shot: But ya gotta admit, it’s pretty impressive.
Optimus: Megatron… When will you learn?
Rodimus: (In flashback) Optimus, I don’t want any harm to come to Unicron. I only want Megatron destroyed.
Optimus: We must destroy Unicron, no matter what it takes!
Starscream: Megatron! We have to pull back and regroup! …Or we’ll be toast!
Megatron: Aaaaaargggghhh… Aaah! You won’t get away with this, Optimus!
Optimus: Don’t let ’em get away, Rad!
Rad: I’ve got ’em locked on! Uhh! What?!
Jetfire: Optimus, warp field dead ahead.
Optimus: He got away… Again!
Kicker: Come on, Ironhide… Ya gotta help guide me, bud. Hhh? Misha! Take cover!
Misha: Huh?!
Kicker: Hurry, there’s no time! That’s Rodimus’ ship!
Rodimus: Kicker, I want you to come with me.
Kicker: Where’s Ironhide?
Rodimus: Your Autobot friend is injured.
Kicker: What’d ya do that for?! And why’d ya kidnap him?
Rodimus: Don’t worry, Kicker. He’s in good hands. And he asked me personally to come for you.
Kicker: You expect me to believe that?
Rodimus: If you want to help your friend, you must follow me. It’s up to you.
Kicker: I say we go with them. What do you say, Misha?
Misha: Mmmhmm…

Episode Notes
-Optimus calls Inferno “Jetfire” when he says to standby to attack.
-Strongarm does not have pitch when he says “First they have to fight off the Decepticons.”
-Kicker calls it the “skybridge” at one point in this episode. But the rest of the references are “spacebridge.”
