Decepticon Prisoners: Raaaawwwwww! Aaaaarggghhh!

Shockblast: Hhh… Hhh…. Hhhh…

Snow Cat: Megatron… Sir!

Demolishor: I have great news!

Snow Cat: Hrgh. Planet Cybertron’s in chaos! It’s beautiful! (Yodels.)

Megatron: Huh?

Demolishor: Hrghh… What brain-freeze over here is trying to say is that the Decepticons that were imprisoned underground have revolted!

Megatron: Huh. Big deal. So they got tired of waiting to be rescued?

Demolishor & Snow Cat: Huh?

Megatron: Those rising up now are only cowards.

Snow Cat: Heh! You’re right, sir! It’s only since they heard of Unicron’s revival. It’s obvious that their loyalty lies with Unicron and not with you! Hehehe! Oooo-oohh!

Megatron: Aaargh!

Snow Cat: Aaaarggghhh!

Megatron: Seems Unicron is kind of hungry, Snow Cat. Do you want to be his main dish?

Snow Cat: No way! I’ll behave! I promise!

Starscream: He’s not even worthy as bait.

Megatron: Hmm. You’re right. But Starscream, I think I may have another candidate in mind.

[Flashback]

Rodimus: (Out of flashback) This was Alpha Q’s home.

Unicron: Aaargggghhhh…. Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Rodimus: (Out of flashback) Unicron had been wandering the galaxy for some time, devouring all in his way. It wasn’t surprising that he eventually came upon Alpha Q’s home planet. His entire race were helpless against Unicron’s immense power and destruction. So in a final act of resistance, they annihilated their own planet, and put Unicron into a deep sleep. By the time we arrived, everything was gone.

Rodimus: Mmmm… Ahh…

Rodimus: (Out of flashback) We couldn’t save Alpha Q’s planet. However, he had been spared. And he continued to live within Unicron’s sleeping body, roaming the galaxy yet again. Soon, Alpha Q made an incredible discovery. He found that anything Unicron devoured could be brought back to life again. Alpha Q learned that all he needed was to get enough Energon to Unicron… to bring his homeworld back.

[End of flashback]

Misha: And the Terrorcons?

Rodimus: The Terrorcons… They were also devoured by Unicron. Alpha Q found a way to revive and control them. And maybe, just maybe their world will be restored too.

Misha: So that’s why he’s been collecting all this Energon. It’s making a little more sense.

Rodimus: I want to do whatever I possibly can. I know that we can save their planet, aswell as the others too.

Misha: But I still think — it’s too dangerous.

Kicker: I feel kinda sorry for him.

Misha: Huh?

Kicker; Try to imagine that the — the same thing had happened to Earth. And you were the only survivor from the whole planet, Misha. Wouldn’t you try everything humanly possible to bring it all back? You — wouldn’t just give up.

Rodimus: Very good. I knew you’d understand. So did Alpha Q. That’s why you’ve been brought here, Kicker.

Kicker: I figured.

Rodimus: Your special gift intrigues him.

Optimus: Dr. Jones, he’s made the decision to go after Ironhide on his own.

Dr. Jones: That’s easy for you to say, Optimus. He’s not your son.

Optimus: I would never risk a soldier’s life.

Dr. Jones: Hey! Wait! Optimus Prime!

Miranda: Honey, please.

Dr. Jones: Mmmm.

Miranda: Trust your son’s decision. You know you taught him well.

Sally: Yeah, Dad, it’s true. Kicker’s never given you a reason not to trust him, at least I don’t think so.

Dr. Jones: But I’m his father.

Miranda: You didn’t worry when he was little. You were always so preoccupied with all of your research. This isn’t like you. Please, would you just believe in your son?

Dr. Jones: Hmm… Either he’s growing up, or I’m becoming very cautious at my old age.

Miranda: Hehe… Yes, he’s growing up.

Q-2: Oooh, here he comes!

Q-3: Heads up, Autobot!

Q-1: We told you your human friend was on his way, didn’t we?!

Ironhide: Kicker?

Q-1: Kicker?!

Q-3: What kind of a name is that?

Q-2: He’s such a small creature! Are you sure he’s the one we’ve been waiting for?

Scorponok: (VO) Now we’ll see if this human is as worthy as Alpha Q has been hoping he is.

Prowl: Ya think Rodimus actually has a plan for that human he’s taking up to Alpha Q?

Landmine: Of course he does, Prowl.

Prowl: Yeah, but he’s not even full grown yet.

Landmine: Quit worrying about Rodimus’ plans and start focusing on your job.

Misha: Kicker, please be —

Kicker: …Careful. I know, Misha.

Misha: Good.

Kicker: Just stay close to me no matter what, okay?

Misha: I will.

Kicker: Well… Here we go.

Misha: Huh? Is that…?

Kicker: Yeah… One ugly tin can. Ewggh, it doesn’t get any better close up. Hey Ironhide, buddy!

Ironhide: Uhhh, Kicker! Haha… Long time, no see, buddy! Uh, I think I’ve gotten in a little over my head here.

Kicker: Don’t be silly, Ironhide. It’s not that bad. Never fear, Kicker is here.

Ironhide: Really?

Kicker: So this is the guy causing all the commotion?

Q-2: He’s even smaller up close! Goodness, I think we’ve made a mistake! Well he’s already here, let’s give him a chance.

Q-3: Tell us about your gift.

Q-1: Go on!

Q-2: He’s been putting us on! He has no gift!

Kicker: Whoaaa, would ya just relax, buddy? You don’t have to pounce on me.

Q-2: What?!

Kicker: I’m here to see Alpha Q, so step aside. Where is he?

Qs: I am Alpha Q!

Kicker: Aheh… Well, prove it! Take off those goofy masks!

Scorponok: Hmm?! How’d he know that?!

Misha: What’s he talking about?

Q-4: Well done, human. So, you do have a special intuition.

Ironhide: Ohhhoaa yeah! Kicker has a gift that no one else does! He can sense where Energon is hidden!

Q-4: Hidden Energon? Really? With that kind of gift, one surely has the power to change the future.

Kicker: Forget the future, release Ironhide!

Q-4: You forgot the magic word…

Ironhide: I’ll give you a magic word!

Kicker: Let’s go.

Misha: Watch out!

Ironhide: Uhh, what?

Kicker: I’m not playing with that four-headed freak.

Rodimus: Hold on!

Q-4: We are not finished yet.

Kicker: Well, you’re wasting my time hiding behind those stupid masks for yours.

Q-4: Please…

Kicker: I guess I was expecting someone pretty great after hearing Rodimus’ story. I didn’t expect a carnival.

Q-4: Why you little…!

Ironhide: I’m the one who’s been his hostage! This is definitely Alpha Q!

Kicker: Wrong!

Misha: Kicker!

Kicker: Hhh… hhh… Aaah! Hgghh, hgghh… That silly string doesn’t scare me! Ugh… Energon Saber! Hggh! Ugh!

Scorponok: Hey!

Rodimus: Scorponok, stop! Leave him alone!

Scorponok: Huh?

Rodimus: You have to trust me!

Kicker: I’m going in to pull you out! Hgh! Ugh! Egh! Argh! Hrgh! Argh! Hrgh! Heh. Still a little shy, are we? Aw, come on out. I promise I won’t bite. Hgggh! Ugh! Agh! Hhgh! Ugh!

Misha: Kicker!

Ironhide: Easy…

Kicker: Hhh… Easy, nothin’! I’m gonna crack this nut! Ugh!

Ironhide: Uhh.

Kicker: Come out… Come out… Whoever you are!

[Commercial]

Optimus: We should have the data from the aerial survey shortly. Ah, there it is. Hmmm. Looks like the Decepticon units have headed underground.

Hot Shot: Underground?

Inferno: I believe the old underground prison is still operational. Maybe we should check it out, y’know?

Optimus: Good thinking, Inferno.

Hot Shot: Ha, ha! I can’t believe those dumb Decepticons, marching right into their new cage.

Inferno: Mmmhmm.

Hot Shot: Huh?!

Optimus: What’s up, Hot Shot?

Hot Shot: Shockblast is still held captive in that prison!

Inferno: Shockblast… You don’t mean — the — Shockblast!

Prison Guards: Yarggh!

Prison Guard: Aaah!

Decepticon Prisoners: Aaaargghhh!

Hot Shot: I’m talking about that nasty renegade Decepticon.

Shockblast: Urghh… urgh… ughhh… ugh… Errrgghh… Arggh! Hhhh…

Optimus: Shockblast was finally captured and imprisoned here on Cybertron. But that was only after leaving behind a trail of seriously damaged Transformers.

Shockblast: Aaaaarggggghh!

Optimus: That’s who they’re after!

Inferno: Let’s go!

Hot Shot: Okay!

Inferno: Inferno!

Hot Shot: Hot Shot!

Inferno & Hot Shot: Powerlinx!

Inferno: Powerlinx Inferno!

Optimus: Let’s roll!

Starscream: Megatron, your magnificent plan is on schedule. All units have stormed the prison block on Cybertron.

Megatron: See how easy it is to follow orders?

Tidal Wave: Megatron!

Megatron: What now?

Tidal Wave: We cannot work with Shockblast! He’s far too vicious, sir.

Megatron: Oh, Tidal Wave… You don’t play well together, is that it?

Tidal Wave: Negative.

Megatron: Listen. Just because Shockblast has a problem following orders doesn’t mean you’ll get away with it. Now I want you to make an effort to welcome our nasty little friend back to the Decepticons. Hahaha, ha, ha, ha!

Kicker: (Hums “I’ve Been Working On the Railroad.”) Egghh… argh! Hgghh! Hghh! Argh! Hrgh! Hgh!

Q-1: Arrgghh!

Ironhide: Kicker!

Kicker: Aaaah! It’s gonna take a little more action than that to stop me, Q! I’m gonna put an end to this masquerade! Uggh! Ughh! Hggh! Hgh! Ughh! Take off your mask! Arggghh!

Scorponok: That’s enough, human! One more swing and you’ll have to take up your fight with me!

Rodimus: Scorponok!

Ironhide: Ergghh!

Scorponok: Raurggghh!

Kicker: Hey, take it easy. This is between me and Alpha Q and it has nothing to do with you. So just stay out of it.

Ironhide: But Kicker, you can’t do this on your own.

Kicker: Ughh. I didn’t come all this way for nothing, you know. And I don’t plan on leaving, at least not without the truth.

Scorponok: That human is so stubborn!

Kicker: I wanna see the coward that’s hidden deep inside that shell. I wanna see the traitor that’s too afraid to show himself.

Alpha Q: Arruuaaagghhh!

Ironhide: Huh?!

Rodimus: Hmmm.

Scorponok: Uhh?

Kicker: Mmm. There.

Alpha Q: I am the voice of all those lost on planet Q. You don’t understand, but I’ll show you. All show you all what I lost! I’ll show you everything!

Misha: Kicker!

Rodimus: Leave him.

[Flashback]

Kicker: Huh?

Unicron: Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh…

Terrorcons: Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

Unicron: Errrrrraaaurgggggggghhhh!

Kicker: It’s… Unicron! Huh?

Scorponok: C’mon, men! Keep firing and keep fighting! This battle’s not over until the last soldier’s down! Arggghh…

Kicker: Scorponok?! You were on planet Q?! Uhh? Huh? So, this is how Alpha Q remembers that day.

Q-1: We’re being eaten alive! Rgh, this is demented! What happened to the armies?! Where are the armies?!

Q-3: Rodimus is MIA!

Q-2: He stood us up! What a liar! He promised that he’d help us save our planet! (Cries.)

Scorponok: Alpha Q! Bad news! All the armies have been wiped out, and the planet’s fading fast! We have to detonate while we can!

Alpha Q: Blow up our home planet?! Noooo!

Scorponok: It’s our only chance!

Alpha Q: Scorponok… Noooo! Don’t do it!

Kicker: He’s scared…

Alpha Q: Noooooooooo!

Kicker: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh-aaaaahhh!

Unicron: Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh!

Kicker: Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh! Aaaaaahhhh!

[End of flashback]

Alpha Q: We fought a courageous battle, we sacrificed our planet. But it was too late for us. The explosion occured after we’d already been consumed by Unicron.

Kicker: Crazy…

Alpha Q: Since that day, we’ve been living alone inside Unicron. You could never understand the emptiness, the loneliness, floating through space inside the one who took away your world. Then I discovered there was a way to free life that had been swallowed up by Unicron. I had found hope.

Kicker: You discovered the Energon… You found its secret!

Alpha Q: But we never expected the immense power of Megatron.

Kicker: Megatron? What does he have to do with this?

Alpha Q: He awoke from his slumber, and messed up my plan.

[Flashback]

Megatron: Errrrrrrr… ugh!

Scorponok: Aaaaarggggghh!

Megatron: Arggggghh! Ugghhh!

Scorponok: Ughh, ughhh…

Alpha Q: Aaaaah-aaaahh… uggghh…

[End of flashback]

Kicker: Hey, nice story, but what’s it got to do with me?

Alpha Q: What?!

Kicker: I’m assuming you brought me here to help you get your planet back. But are you willing — to do what has to be done?! Or are you gonna let Megatron stand in your way?!

Alpha Q: Ugghh…

Kicker: After all I’ve been through, you give up now?!

Alpha Q: Errgggghh…

Misha: Uhh…

Kicker: What are you so afraid of? Are you afraid of Megatron? Are you afraid of getting hurt?

Alpha Q: Of course I’m afraid!

Kicker: We’re all afraid sometimes! But you won’t get anywhere just hiding and being afraid! Isn’t that right, Ironhide? You can learn a lesson from this guy!

Ironhide: Uhhh, me?!

Kicker: You gotta go for it. If ya don’t, you’ll never know what you’re capable of. Megatron won’t give you a chance to come to your senses. He’ll just stomp all over you like you’re not even there!

Alpha Q: Uhhh.

Kicker: No one’s gonna give you your world back, it’s up to you to go and take it! That’s what Megatron preaches to use his own tactics against it! Unless you want the Decepticons to be your new leaders…

Alpha Q: No!

Kicker: Then fight back! You’ve got to!

Scorponok: Huh?!

Rodimus: Hmmm…

Misha: He’s nuts…

Shockblast: Ergh… ergghh… hrgghh… ergh! Hyah! Uggh! Hghhh, hggh.

Decepticon Soldier: Shockblast!

Shockblast: Yeah?

Decepticon Soldier: I’ve come under orders of Megatron to let you out and escort you back to him.

Shockblast: Hghh… There won’t be any need for that.

Decepticon Soldier: Huh?! Arrrrgggggghhh!

Autobot Prison Guard: Hold it right there!

Decepticon Prisoner: I need backup, quick! All right! Huh?!

Autobot Prison Guard: You will be severely punished if you try and escape! Just give it up!

Decepticon Prisoner: Ugghh, huhh! Aaaah! Urgghh!

Autobot Prison Guard: I will fire, final warning!

Decepticon Prisoner: Aaaarrrrggggghh!

Shockblast: Think fast!

Autobot Prison Guard: Aaaaaahhhh! Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhh!

Optimus: We’re too late.

Inferno: Shockblast is gone! Hggh!

Optimus: Rad, come in! We’re going after Shockblast. I want you to monitor Megatron’s movements and radio back with anything peculiar! Over.

Kicker: This meeting’s over. I’m done messing around here.

Misha: Hang on.

Kicker: Come on, guys. It’s time to bolt.

Ironhide: But…!

Kicker: Optimus and the rest of the Autobots and fighting hard out there. They’re the ones that need our help! So is the ship ready, Rodimus?

Rodimus: All right, then. You can leave.

Ironhide: I figured this would be a waste of time! None of my plans ever work out!

Kicker: Don’t worry about it.

Ironhide: Huh?!

Kicker: At least we got to see the inside of the galaxy’s biggest bad guy. There’s not many people that can say that.

Ironhide: C’mon, Kicker, this isn’t a joke, y’know!

Kicker: Well, we tried our best, but… poor guy’s in a pretty tight spot. I couldn’t imagine what I’d do — if the Earth was devoured.

Scorponok: Are you sure you want to let the human go?

Rodimus: Alpha Q?

Q-4: Kicker…

Misha: Uh.

Kicker: For crying out loud!

Ironhide: Aww, ya gotta be kiddin’ me!

Misha: What now?

Prowl: Uhhh, this rocking’s gonna dislodge the ship!

Misha: Unicron is — coming to life!

Scorponok: What have you done?!

Kicker: Ugh… Hghh…
