Dark Scream: Hurry up you guys. We don’t wanna get spotted.

Gas Skunk: The plutonium energy generator is somewhere in that building. It should be a piece of cake to steal, right?

Slapper: Yeah, let’s just get in and get out. We’ve gotta make sure we don’t mess up this time. When Megatron gets upset he gets ugly.

Dark Scream: Are we gonna do this or sit around talking all night?

Slapper: Let’s go. It looks like the coast is clear.

Gas Skunk: Optimus Prime is here.

Optimus: I knew you Predacons couldn’t resist the plutonium energy generator, but if you want it, you’re gonna have to go through me first.

Dark Scream: Yeah, you and what army?

Optimus: Autobots, transform! I suggest you three leave. Now.

Slapper: These guys are a real pain.

X-Brawn: Transform!

Sideburn: Ready to rock!

Prowl: Right with ya.

Slapper: So much for getting in and getting out. Slapper, terrorize!

Gas Skunk: You’re going down!

Dark Scream: And we’re just the guys to do it.

Slapper: Right laser!

Dark Scream: Center laser!

Gas Skunk: Left laser!

X-Brawn: Deplume!

Prowl: Deflect!

Sideburn: HA!

Optimus: Blaze Blaster! Sideburn, our job is to defend the building, not attack.

Sidebury: Sorry Optimus.

Optimus: That’s all right. One wrong blast at that plutonium energy generator and this whole place could explode.

Sideburn: What?! Don’t you think you could have told me about that before? I’m standing right infront of the building!

Slapper: What’s with these guys, are they going to talk or are they going to fight?

Dark Scream: Hey fellas, now would be a good time to regroup.

Gas Skunk: Dark Scream’s right. We better get outta here.

Sideburn: Chickens!

Optimus: Sideburn! Hold it. Don’t go after them. Let them go.

Sideburn: Ah, don’t worry, Optimus. I wasn’t going after them. I saw a hot little red sportscar on the way over here and I just wanted to see if she’s still there. Catch ya on the flip flop.

Optimus: You know, sometimes that Autobot worries me.

X-Brawn: Don’t I know it, but I think he’ll be all right.

[Transition]

Koji’s Friend: Hurry up, Koji! C’mon!

Koji: Hi, sorry I’m late.

Friend: Don’t worry, it’s all right.

Koji: Should we get going?

Friend’s Dad: I think that’s a good idea.

Friend: Hey, do you remember that time we rode our bikes at that construction site? Dad, can we go there?

Dad: Yup. There. Nice and secure. All right boys, let’s get get going. By the way, Koji, any news on your dad?

Koji: Not yet.

Friend: Don’t worry, Koji. He’ll come back.

Dad: I’m sure this must be hard for you, Koji. Come on boys, we’ve got a big day planned. Let’s get on the road.

Friend: I remember last time we raced you beat me but today I’m gonna whoop you.

Koji: Ha.

Worker: All right, men. Let’s get this energy generator loaded up. And remember, you break it, you bought it. Okay, let’s move it out.

Sideburn: Man, I tell ya… I can think of about a zillion things I’d rather be doing right now.

Prowl: Well forget it! Our assignment is to protect that generator.

Optimus: Come in, X-Brawn. Have you mapped out your route yet?

X-Brawn: Yes I have, Optimus. Here we’ll head southbound on Osaka Blvd.

Optimus: Just watch your backs. Predacons will stop at nothing to get that energy.

X-Brawn: Roger, chief.

Sideburn: Hey Optimus, something you said at the warehouse is really bumming me out.

Optimus: And what’s that, Sideburn?

Sideburn: Didn’t you tell me back there that if a missile hit this thing that the whole building would be history?

Optimus: Yes, that’s correct. Why?

X-Brawn: Oh, I wouldn’t worry about that, little brother. The Predacons don’t want to destroy the generator, they just want to steal it.

Optimus: X-Brawn’s right. It’s much more valuable to them in one piece.

Prowl: Stop bothering Optimus and keep your mind on your job!

Sideburn: Hey dude, I don’t want to be blown up, okay?

Optimus: The sooner we get this generator to its installation point the better. Stay on course, I’ll be in touch.

Sideburn: Hey man, if you want to blown into a million Autoparts, that’s your problem.

Prowl: Just where do you think you’re going, Sideburn?

Sideburn: As far away from that thing as I can. You guys should be able to handle this.

Prowl: Oh no you don’t!

Sideburn: Listen bro, I’m not feeling very well. I have to go see my mechanic.

Prowl: You’ll feel a lot worse if you don’t get back in line!

Sideburn: Hey, cut it out! Can I go return a video now? Otherwise they’ll charge me a late fee.

Prowl and X-Brawn: The answer is no!

Prowl: You’re staying with us!

Sideburn: Hey stop, that hurts!

X-Brawn: We’re sticking together, little brother. Oil is thicker than water.

Sideburn: But I’ve got a date! This is the last time I let you guys talk me into something like this!

Prowl: Would you stop your whining? All you’ve done on this trip is complain!

Sideburn: Hey, you see that? That guy is too close. He might bump it or something.

Prowl: It’s not nitro. Calm down, you’re making me nervous.

X-Brawn: What’s your problem? It’s not going to explode from being bumped.

Sideburn: Yeah, well I’m not taking any chances.

Dad: This traffic is awful. Maybe there’s an accident up ahead. They’ve just closed the next exit. Now we’re stuck here!

Koji: Well, maybe they’ll open it up soon.

Dad: At this rate we’ll be sitting here all day long!

Kelly: Great, now I’m late. What else could possibly go wrong today? I had to ask.

Megatron: Those Autobots are making our job a whole lot easier by falling into our trap.

Sky-Byte: I hope those three incompetents don’t mess up like they did the last time.

Gas Skunk: All right, we brought up the freeway map. Slapper already knows their route.

Slapper: There isn’t a computer made that I can’t hack. Just a few more keystrokes and I should have it! I’ve created a traffic jam so they won’t be able to move an inch!

Dark Scream: Good going, Slapper. He’s closed all the exits.

Slapper: I can almost taste all of that delicious energy!

Dark Scream: And those tin cans can’t stop us!

Sideburn: Come on, man. This is taking all day! I should be cruising the beach by now.

X-Brawn: Listen guys, I’ve got a bad feeling about this. I want you to stay on your wheels.

Slapper: Take off!

Driver: They don’t pay us enough for this!

Slapper: Robot mode! Boy, those two guys sure left in a hurry. You think they’re trying to tell us something?

Gas Skunk: Yeah, maybe it’s your breath. Let’s get the generator.

X-Brawn: X-Brawn, transform! I should’ve guessed. So you’re the reason for this huge traffic jam.

Slapper: Right, you’re sharp.

Dark Scream: We got it. Let’s go!

Prowl: Prowl, transform!

Sideburn: Right on, bro! Those Predacons already stole the energy generator.

X-Brawn: Bad news, boss. We were too late. The Predacons nabbed the generator.

Optimus: We’ve got to get it back!

X-Brawn: We need to surround them to grab the generator and we can’t shoot, there’s too many people!

Optimus: Hold on. T-AI, bring up the member select board.

T-AI: I’m engaging board right now.

X-Brawn: We’re stuck here. Are there any Autobots who can get through this terrible mess?

T-AI: As a matter of fact, the Spychangers will be able to get through. Hot Shot, report to the Otaka freeway near the Osaka Blvd. exit. Level one priority.

Hot Shot: Don’t worry, I’m on top of it.

T-AI: Race Exertion Vehicle, we’ll be needing you too.

REV: That’s why they call me REV, because I’m revved up and ready to go!

Crosswise: Roger. I’m up for a little action.

Koji: Can you see anything? We haven’t moved an inch in twenty minutes.

Dad: No, nothing but a sea of cars I’m afraid.

Koji: Oh… Woah! How can he do that? That is impossible! What’s going on?!

Gas Skunk: Bye bye!

Prowl: Launching Jet Claw!

Slapper: Destroying Jet Claw! You Autobots oughta be more careful. You just might hurt some innocent bystandards if you keep that up.

Prowl: Why you…

Sideburn: And while we’re on the subject of safety, we don’t wanna explode the generator, do we?

X-Brawn: You’re right. There’s too many people and that generator’s volatile. Hold your fire!

Gas Skunk: Slapper, will ya come on?

X-Brawn: I hate to say this, but our hands are tied right now.

Gas Skunk: What a shame!

Slapper: Too bad, you lose!

Hot Shot: You’re getting a little bit ahead of yourself, Slapper! Transform! Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Hot Shot.

Gas Skunk: One more of you metalheads isn’t going to make any difference.

REV: You forgot about me! REV, transform! All right, back away from the energy generator and no one gets hurt.

Dark Scream: Big deal. Now there are two more of you. So what?

Crosswise: Make that three.

Slapper: Not another one!

Crosswise: Power down stealth mode. You’re outnumbered and outclassed! Why don’t you give us back the energy generator and just walk away?

Slapper: Why don’t you try and take it?

Crosswise: If that’s the way you feel… Crosswise, transform!

Hot Shot: Autobots, let us take care of this for you.

X-Brawn: Be my guest, take ’em down!

Slapper: I’d love to stay and chat, but I really have to run! See ya later, losers!

Hot Shot: Man, those guys burn me up. Stealth mode!

Crosswise: Crosswise, stealth mode.

Sideburn: Who are those guys, anyway?

X-Brawn: Well little brother, they’re called the Spychangers. They’re part of our team.

Slapper: Those tinheads are pathetic. They’ll never catch us!

Hot Shot: You were saying? You’re in over your head.

Crosswise: You’ll never get away from us!

REV: Now where do you think you’re going with that stolen generator? We’re gonna be all over you like a cheap paint job!

Dark Scream: These guys are coming out of the pavement. We have to get out of here!

Slapper: Let’s get off this freeway, it’s the only way we can ditch these guys.

All: One, two, three, go!

Gas Skunk: Gas Skunk, terrorize!

Slapper: Slapper, terrorize!

Dark Scream: Dark Scream, terrorize!

Hot Shot: There they are up ahead. All right guys, let’s do it! Hot Shot, transform!

REV: Roger that, Hot Shot. REV, transform!

Crosswise: Right behind ya. Crosswise, transform!

Slapper: You guys are history. Laser time!

Dark Scream: Yeah!

Gas Skunk: Ha!

Slapper: I see you guys are lying down on the job.

Dark Scream: I’ve got to tell you, if this is the best they have to offer, I’m not impressed.

Hot Shot: These guys are tougher than I thought.

Crosswise: We may need some backup.

Slapper: Let’s teach them a lesson they’ll never forget. How many more Autobots are there?

WARS: You guys made a big mistake. You’re messing with the wrong crowd. WARS, transform!

Ironhide: You fellas are in for a world of hurtin’! Ironhide, transform!

Mirage: I’m not a figment of your imagination. Mirage, transform!

Slapper: This is unbelievable. These guys are everywhere.

Hot Shot: This is your last chance. Give up the generator!

[Transition]

Sky-Byte: I hate to tell you this, but those three bumbling buffoons botched it again. I suggest you let me handle it.

Megatron: All right, you take care of this. I’m counting on you to bring back that energy. No matter what it takes, I want that generator!

Sky-Byte: Yessir!

[Transition]

Slapper: Stand back, you junk iron scrap heaps. You’re not gonna get your hands on our energy.

Hot Shot: Circle Formation! Give it up, Slapper.

Slapper: Ugh, these guys are making me dizzy.

Hot Shot: Fire Blaster!

WARS: Let’s see ya dance!

REV: Locked on!

Crosswise: Throw in the towel. You’re through!

Gas Skunk: No!

Crosswise: Suit yourself.

Mirage: Eat laser, loser!

Hot Shot: Give the generator!

REV: Hold on, baby!

Hot Shot and REV: Who or what is that?

Slapper: You’re such a show-off.

[Sky-Byte mumbles with the generator in his mouth.]

Slapper: Don’t talk with your mouth full. Toss it here. I’ll hold it for you while you change.

Sky-Byte: Catch. That’s better. Terrorize! I’ll hold them off. Take the generator back to the base.

Dark Scream: You’re gonna need some help, Sky-Byte. I’ll hang with ya.

Slapper: In that case, we’ll see ya around.

Optimus: Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Fire hose, blast off! That should cool off those hotheads. Autobots, transform! Battle protocol!

Hot Shot: The Spychangers are with you, Optimus. All the way!

Sky-Byte: What is this, a relay race?

Hot Shot: I’ll tell you just one more time. Surrender now!

Slapper: Gee, should we give up?

Sky-Byte: Pull yourself together. I’ll crush them into bits!

X-Brawn: C’mon boys, let’s give them a hand.

Optimus: Hold on.

Prowl: What is it?

Optimus: I’ve got a better idea. Let’s let the Spychangers handle this one.

Hot Shot: All right, team. How about a little cyber-jousting like back home?

Spychangers: Right!

REV: Let’s get ’em!

Slapper: Right laser!

Dark Scream: Feel the power of the center laser!

Gas Skunk: Left laser!

Hot Shot: Fire!

Sky-Byte: These guys are annoying.

Dark Scream: That really hurt! Blast those metal meddlers. If they wouldn’t have shown up here everything would have gone perfectly!

Sky-Byte: If they won’t let us have the generator then no one will have it!

Slapper: What are you saying, Sky-Byte?

Sky-Byte: One shot and it’s the end of the Autobots!

Slapper: You’re gonna… blow it up?!

Gas Skunk: He’s really lost it! I’m getting out of here while I’m still in one piece!

Sky-Byte: It’s showtime. Tsunami Blaster!

Sideburn: If that beam hits the generator, we’re scrap!

Sky-Byte: Look, the generator’s still intact. Now that’s what I call a good shot! Go and get it.

Slapper: All righty. Why are we always the ones carrying the heavy stuff?

Gas Skunk: I’ve never seen Sky-Byte lift anything.

X-Brawn: That was some blast. You boys all right?

Dark Scream: It’s been fun, but we’ve gotta run! Haha!

Optimus: We didn’t exactly save the day this time, did we?

Prowl: No kidding, this is terrible. The Predacons now have all that power! Who knows what they’ll do with it?

X-Brawn: Not gonna let us in on what’s so funny?

Hot Shot: It doesn’t matter what evil they’re planning because the real energy is right over there.

X-Brawn: What?

Sideburn: Huh?

Optimus: Well, would you look at that? That was some fast thinking, Spychangers.

Sideburn: But when were you able to exchange it with the real one?

REV: We made the change right before Fishhead’s laser was about to blast it.

X-Brawn: If these guys hid the real one then what was that thing the Predacons just ran off with?

Sideburn: Uhhh…

Prowl: I dunno.

[Transition]

Megatron: Excellent. With this power source, we will destroy the Autobots for good.

Slapper: I’m glad you’re pleased, oh great Megatron. We worked very hard to bring this to you.

Megatron: You will all be rewarded for your efforts. And now let me see the plutonium energy generator. What’s the meaning of this?

Gas Skunk: Dirty rotten double crossers.

Dark Scream: All those Autobots played us for saps. Wait till I get my hands on them!

Slapper: You mean to tell me that we went through all that trouble just to bring that ugly thing back here?

Sky-Byte: I should have known that these three fools would have messed up my plans.

Megatron: I’ll turn you into scrap! You fools!

Friend: Are you all right?

Dad: Koji, did you hurt yourself?

Koji: Oh, I’m all right.

Dad: You’re a tough kid, Koji. Just be careful, boys!

Koji: Hey wait up!

Optimus: It’s good to see you laugh, Koji. And don’t worry, we’ll find your dad and we’ll bring him back home to you.

Koji: Yeah!
