X-Brawn: They’re on me like an Insecticon on a power core. I gotta get outta here.

Ro-Tor: He’s getting away!

Scourge: No, he’s not.

X-Brawn: Great, treadhead’s in my way. Just a little farther… Thanks! See ya, pard! Phew… Talk about your close shades. Boy, darn good thing those Decepticons can’t follow me into the space bridge.

Ro-Tor: He just disappeared. I can’t locate him.

Mega-Octane: Those warp tunnels they use make it impossible to catch him.

Armorhide: Another second and I’d be picking him out of my treads.

Rollbar: Well as long as they have that technology, they’ll always defeat us!

Armorhide: There’s gotta be some way we can go in there and blast that space bridge apart. Then they can’t use it against us anymore.

Mega-Octane: We’d be better off if we could figure out how the tunnels work. Then we can use them for our own purposes.

Ro-Tor: Must be nice to just duck into a tunnel to get away, and come out who knows where!

Armorhide: I still say we should blow it up!

Mega-Octane: Hold on. Maybe we can disable it.

Scourge: Perhaps we could…

Wedge: All right, Heavy Load. We’ve got room for a few more shovelsful.

Hightower: Hey, Wedge, listen up. What do you want me to do with this large beam? Do you think we need it?

Wedge: Yeah, we do. But don’t get ahead of yourself, Hightower. We’re still digging.

Grimlock: Heavy Load, I need you over here.

Heavy Load: Keep your shovel on.

T-AI: Optimus, the Build Team is calling and needs to talk to you.

Optimus: Put them on screen.

Wedge: Hey Optimus, it’s all done. It took awhile, but we finally finished building the arctic link to the global space bridge.

Optimus: Good job, Build Team. You completed that section in record time.

Heavy Load: Thanks a lot, Optimus. Of course, we give a lot of the credit to Wedge. As a foreman, he’s aces.

Optimus: That’s good to hear. What’s your project status?

Wedge: You don’t have to worry. We’re way ahead of schedule.

Heavy Load: Wedge, how about the blue bridge to the south group?

Wedge: All work and no play makes Heavy Load a dull machine. I say we should go check out the battlezone and get some practice in. Come on, Hightower.

Hightower: Right behind you. Grimlock: Hold on, young Wedge. What about installing the new arctic link data into the computer network?

Wedge: I’m bored by that geeky stuff. You handle it, okay Grimster?

Grimlock: No sweat. I’ll take care of it.

Wedge: Come on, Heavy Load. It’s time for a little battle practice. Let’s do it!

Heavy Load: Oh, great.

Grimlock: This won’t take long. Then I can meet up with the guys at the battlezone.

Ro-Tor: This is Ro-Tor. I’ve spotted Grimlock and I’m on his tail.

Scourge: See if he leads into the terminal.

Ro-Tor: Yes, sir.

Grimlock: Grimlock, transform! Oh yeah!

Grimlock: Now let’s see… The co-ordinates for the new arctic link should be housed in terminal 10. Reprogramming coaxial, engage. Data recorded and synchronized. Installation complete.

Scourge: It’s in there.

Mega-Octane: What is this place?

Scourge: Just what we’ve been looking for.

Armorhide: I’ll tell you what we should do. We should go in there and blast that place into tiny little pieces.

Rollbar: I’ve got a great idea. Why don’t we just hack into their system? We can find out where their tunnels lead.

Armorhide: Hacking, schmacking. I say we go in there and blow the whole place to oblivion. Then we don’t have to care where the tunnels lead. Am I right?

Rollbar: Half-track mind. Well, that’s one way to get in! I, myself, would have used the door.

Armorhide: Now Scourge has the right idea. See what I mean? We gotta break down some walls, blow up some buildings, destroy these computers…

Scourge: Why don’t you clamp your voice boxes?

Armorhide: Uh, yeah… Sorry, sir.

Scourge: This hard drive will disrupt their tracking system, causing location malfunction. Perfect. Let’s see how their global space bridge works now. Decepticons, move out.

Commandos: Yessir!

[Commercial]

Movor: Movor, transform! Laser blast!

T-AI: Sir, the Decepticons are attacking sector B538. They’re destroying the buildings near the train station.

Optimus: T-AI, which of our teams is closest to that location?

T-AI: On it, Optimus Prime. The Nearest is Team Bullet Train. They’re prepped and ready to go. Dispatching now. Team Bullet Train, report to sector B538 immediately.

Rapid Run: Roger that!

Railspike: 10-4!

Midnight: On our way.

Scourge: Have a nice trip, boys.

Rapid Run: This doesn’t seem right. Are you sure we’re going the right way?

Railspike: Now!

Rapid Run: Look out! Look out! Whoa, get over! Get over!

Railspike: This is not good!

Midnight: Someone should tell these people they’re going the wrong way!

Railspike: Railspike, transform!

Rapid Run: Rapid Run, transform!

Midnight: Midnight Express, transform!

Rapid Run: Hey, what’s going on here? This is not the right sector. Oh, good. I’m glad you’re here.

Wedge: Hey Rapid Run. What’s up?

Rapid Run: What’s up? We were. We just fell a hundred feet onto a crying freeway.

Railspike: I’m getting too old for this stuff.

Midnight: It was terribly unsettling.

Optimus: We were just discussing the malfunctions in the global space bridge.

Wedge: Everything in that tunnel was constructed according to plan. It should work perfectly. I don’t understand.

Heavy Load: It doesn’t make sense.

Rapid Run: What doesn’t make sense is that my team and I were almost made into scrap metal thanks to your perfectly constructed tunnel! There’s no excuse for shoddy workmanship.

Wedge: Yeah? Maybe it’s your fault. Maybe you don’t know where you’re going.

Rapid Run: Listen, you little…

Wedge: Why you big pile of junk!

Railspike and Heavy Load: Knock it off!

Railspike: Rapid Run, put a plug in it. This is doing no good.

Heavy Load: You two are supposed to be on the same team.

Wedge: I’m going to teach this big mouth a lesson.

Optimus: Wedge is right. Something’s wrong. It needs to be found and corrected.

Hightower: Yessir, right away.

Mega-Octane: So we messed up their tunnel. Now what?

Scourge: Now we start some trouble. When the Autobots use their tunnel again, we’ve got them.

Mega-Octane: Yessir!

Rollbar: Rollbar, transform! Fire blaster!

Armorhide: Plasma morter! Transform!

Ro-Tor: Ro-Tor, transform! Ha, ha!

Movor: Ha, ha!

Rollbar: Ha, haha!

T-AI: Optimus! The Decepticons are attacking the city!

Optimus: T-AI, send the brothers and Team Bullet Train.

T-AI: Roger. Autobot Brothers and Team Bullet Train, code red! Decepticons are attacking the urban centre.

Sideburn: This is Sideburn, message received. I’m taking the global space bridge to preset co-ordinates. Leaving now.

X-Brawn: This is X-Brawn. I copy that.

Prowl: 10-4, base. I read you loud and clear. I’m on my way.

T-AI: Team Bullet Train, take off for location right now!

Rapid Run: All right, team. No slip-ups this time. Smooth take off.

Midnight: I’ve got a bad feeling about this one!

Hightower: Everything seems online and operational.

Heavy Load: It all looks good.

Wedge: There’s nothing wrong with the global space bridge. It had to be something those guys did.

[Transition]

Mega-Octane: With the Autobots in transit, I’ll give their computer a little tune-up. One they’ll never forget. Ha, ha, ha!

[Commercial]

Sideburn: Surprise! Huh? Hey… What’s up with all this water? This is not funny. There’s something seriously wrong with that thing!

X-Brawn: Decepticons, you’re in for it now. Whoa. Whoowee! That could have been the first step of the rest of my life. Something’s really wrong with that bridge of ours.

Prowl: Freeze, Decepti-creeps! Man, that’s cold.

Construction Worker: Uhhh… Pardon me, officer, but we’re trying to pour some fresh concrete right now.

Prowl: Sorry… But get me outta here!

Koji: Hey, batter, batter!

Koji’s friend: Pitcher’s got a rubber arm!

Koji: Knock it out of the park! Come on, do it! Come on! Oh, man!

Rapid Run: Whoa… Oh no. Rapid Run, transform! Got it!

Koji: Oh no! He caught it and that was the last out of the inning. And what is Rapid Run doing on the field, anyway?

Rapid Run: What the?

Kelly: No blue sportscars chasing me here in the mall! That’s ridiculous! A train?! Why do these things always happen to me? Ahhh!

Railspike: My brakes can’t grab!

Kelly: That… couldn’t be the new subway line, could it?

Railspike: I can’t stop.

Midnight: Oooohhh! Somebody make it stop! It’s like a maze that goes in circles. A sort of never-ending loop. This isn’t funny. I’m getting motion sickness. My gyro’s spinning.

[Commercial]

Scourge: Scourge, transform!

Megatron: Megatron, terrorize! Scourge, the Autobots are trapped in their own global space bridge. Are you sure they can’t show up here?

Scourge: They’ll be tied up in that tunnel for a long time. And when they finally get out, they’ll be nowhere near us. We can help ourselves to all the energy here and they can’t do a thing.

Megatron: This is exactly the opportunity I’ve waited for.

Scourge: With this energy, we could really put your plans into motion.

Megatron: Heh, heh, heh, heh…

T-AI: All of our operatives have been sent to the wrong destination. Places completely different from what I’ve programmed.

Optimus: This doesn’t make sense. Didn’t Build Team run a diagnostic on that tunnel?

T-AI: There’s nothing wrong with the construction of the tunnels. Perhaps there’s something wrong with the computers. Ugh! It looks like someone’s been tampering with the main computer link!

Optimus: Where’s the read-out coming from?

T-AI: From the main terminal building.

Heavy Load: Wedge, I just received an urgent communicate from T-AI. There is something wrong with the tunnel.

Wedge: Huh? We’ve been all over this tunnel with a fine tooth comb and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with our work.

Heavy Load: You’re right. Construction is absolutely up to code.

Wedge: Wait, the computer!

Heavy Load: Optimus, we’re heading to the terminal building to repair the damage.

Optimus: Roger, Heavy Load. Good luck.

Mega-Octane: Halt! Decepticons, don’t let them pass.

Commandos: No, sir!

Wedge: Autobots, transform! Nothing’s going to stop us from getting inside that terminal.

Mega-Octane: Hmmm?

Optimus: Optimus Prime, transform! Battle mode! Blizzard Blast!

Railspike: Whoa! Not again! My brakes aren’t working on this hill!

Sideburn: Hang on to your goggles, kids. This sand is too soft for my tires. Aaaaahhh!

X-Brawn: This is too much… Where am I?! Somebody?! Anybody?!

Wedge: Shoulder thrust! And double laser!

Heavy Load: Tractor slam! How does that grab ya?

Hightower: Fire blaster!

Optimus: Time to go home, Decepticons! All right, move in.

Hightower: Looks like this terminal’s been tampered with. Here’s the culprit. That should take care of it. The tunnel should function properly now.

Wedge: Those slaggin’ Decepticons changed our computer data! I’m sorry. I had no idea.

Optimus: We were all fooled. Now we have to get our team back.

T-AI: Optimus Prime! Red alert! Come in, Optimus Prime!

Optimus: What is it, T-AI?

T-AI: Big trouble. Decepticons are raiding the Northern Energy Research facility.

Optimus: So that was their plan. Our tunnel was a diversion, so they could steal the power from our North facility. Those other attacks were a ruse to get our energy.

Heavy Load: Hey, why don’t we take the arctic link tunnel we just built? That way we’ll be able to take them by surprise.

Wedge: Yeah, now that it’s up and running. Great idea, Heavy Load.

Optimus: Autobots, let’s roll out! Destination, the North Energy Research facility.

Sideburn: You wouldn’t believe the places they sent me! I can’t wait to get my hands on ’em!

X-Brawn: I’m just glad you guys found me. Thought I was gonna be stuck in that desert forever.

Wedge: Listen, everyone. I’m sorry about what’s been happening with the tunnel, but it was tampered with and we found out the problem. This time it will take us to the correct destination.

Scourge: All right. Let’s go in and take the energy.

Megatron: Huh?

Scourge: What’s that?

Megatron: Autobots!

Rapid Run: You were expecting the abominable snowman?

Railspike: You should know by now not to count us out.

Sideburn: Well this time I came out the right location.

X-Brawn: Not a moment too soon.

Megatron: They figured it out!

Optimus: Optimus Prime, transform! Battle protocol!

Wedge: Wedge, transform! Hwah!

Heavy Load: Heavy Load, transform! Mhhhmmhhmm…

Hightower: Hightower, transform!

Grimlock: Grimlock, transform! Oh, yeah!

Rapid Run: Team Bullet Train ready.

X-Brawn: Autobot Brothers ready.

Scourge: They recovered a lot sooner than I thought.

Wedge: That’s right, and I don’t take kindly to you messing up my work. You’re getting a slice of this!

Megatron: Ha! Megatron, beast mode! Pipsqueak…

Optimus: Hold it, Megatron! It’s easy when you get the hang of it.

Megatron: Ha, ha, ha! Dragon lasers!

Sideburn: Man, if I knew it was gonna be like this, I’d have brought my skates!

X-Brawn: Here ya go.

Prowl: Whoa!

Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Scourge: What do you want me to do?

Megatron: I’m all right. Just destroy those meddlesome Autobots.

Rapid Run: We’ll take care of this. Bullet Trains, combine into Rail Racer.

Midnight and Railspike: Right!

Wedge: Hold on a minute!

Rapid Run: Why? What’s the matter, Wedge?

Wedge: I want you to let us take care of this. The space bridge is our responsibility and when they messed with it, they messed with us.

Heavy Load: Right, it’s payback time.

Wedge: Besides, we’re better equipped for the ice than they are. Sideburn: What do you say, Optimus?

Optimus: It’s a matter of honour for Build Team. They’ll handle it.

Sideburn: I hope so.

Sideburn: I hope so.

Wedge: Guys, it’s time for us to combine!

Sideburn: Oh man, they’re going to transform into Landfill! Whoa!

Rapid Run: Oh yeah! This is gonna be good!

Wedge: Transform!

Sideburn: Cool. They’re really putting on quite a show.

Prowl: Look at that traction.

Megatron: Twin dragon breath!

Landfill: Have to do better than that, Megatron, if you want to hit me. Shoulder attack! And a super shoulder attack!

Optimus: I’d say they have the situation under control.

Sideburn: They’re a heck of a wrecking machine.

Megatron: I will destroy you. You can’t win.

Scourge: Leave Megatron alone!

Landfill: No problem. Here’s a little something for you. Don’t get up on my account. Single laser!

Megatron: Next time, Autobots! Ha, ha, ha, ha!

[Commercial]

Midnight: You’ve settled the score on all accounts.

Wedge: I just hope I was able to make it up to you for all your trouble.

Sideburn: Mmmhmmm.

Wedge: But I still feel bad about all you’ve gone through.

Rapid Run: Well, don’t. I was out of line before. It wasn’t your fault, it was sabotage. Build Team is the best. You guys should be proud.

Wedge: Thank you. And I’m sorry about losing my temper back there.

Rapid Run: Me too. Let’s forget it.

Optimus: The important thing is that we worked together to stop the Decepticons. It just took a little teamwork.

Sideburn: This technology is unbelievable. You know, when it’s working properly, there’s really nothing better.

Rapid Run: You can say that again. Now let’s go home.
