( grunts )

Sideswipe! You're supposed to catch me.

That's the whole point of a trust exercise.

( feedback squeals )

Aw! Now my comm unit is busted.

Oh, sorry.

Maybe when it was my turn,

you shouldn't have let me fall three times in a row.

That's because you weren't falling correctly.

Hey! Why don't you demonstrate

how to fall right, Your Dictatorship?

( groans )

( both grunting )

BUMBLEBEE: Hey! Hey! Knock it off!

These exercises are important.

Yeah, why can't you guys take anything seriously?

Oh, uh, yeah. Um, ahem.

( both chuckle )

If we're gonna work together

to recapture all the escaped Decepticons,

we have to learn to trust each other.

I do trust Sideswipe... to mess up.

( both grunting)

( sighs ) ( device beeps )

FIXIT: Fixit to Bumblebee, Strongarm, Sideswipe,

and Grim-- Grim-- Grim--

Go ahead, Fixit.

FIXIT: Can you circle back to the Scrapyard?

There's something I need to show you.

On our way. Now, let's see

if we can all make it back in one piece.

( dramatic theme playing )

Don't feel bad.

It's not that easy to be a model teammate like me.

( roars )

( sniffs )

Autobots.

Transformers

( dramatic theme playing )

Search instruments have located

a cluster of fugitive signals near here,

and it appears there might be intact stasis pods as well.

( sighs ): Some easy captures would be nice.

MAN: Mayday! Mayday!

Ooh! We're intercepting an Earth-based radio signal.

This is Captain of oil tanker Windward

off coast of Crown City.

We are under attack by what appears to be a shark,

but it's bigger than any I've seen,

and it looks to be made of metal.

Decepticon.

My crew has evacuated to lifeboats.

Please send assistance immediately!

The Alchemor's prisoner manifest lists a Sharkticon aboard.

Here's your capture device, sir.

And it will work this time, heh.

Are you sure?

Heh, not really.

( sighs ): Denny, do you have a boat

Grimlock and I could tow to the water?

Take your pick.

( light dramatic theme playing )

You and the Dinobot?

Grimlock proved to me earlier today

that he can be trusted in a field situation

that requires teamwork.

You two will check out those fugitive signals.

Together.

Yeah. Work on that teamwork.

The stasis pods are at grid 40, 23, vector 76, 50.

Oh, and bring me back something, will you?

A rock or a soil sample or--

Uh, have a great mission. Soil sample, heh!

Where'd you learn to drive a boat?

I've spent a lot of time on this planet, remember?

But I'm thinking we're not positioned right.

( dramatic theme playing )

No humans or Sharkticons in sight.

Too bad. I was hoping for some punching.

Earth's bodies of water are incredible, Grimlock.

They're filled with more kinds of life than you can imagine.

( both gasp )

I can't wait to punch some water life.

SIDESWIPE: This is the total opposite of the right way.

STRONGARM: You wouldn't know the right way if it hit you in your optics.

You're never gonna treat me as an equal, are you?

And you're never gonna take me seriously, are you?

I'll comm you when I find something.

We can't split up!

Lieutenant Bumblebee was very specific.

Sideswipe? Sideswipe! Stupid comm unit.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( grunts )

Excuse me.

Grimlock, no!

( dramatic theme playing )

( Grimlock grunting )

This isn't teamwork!

Come on, come on.

( grunts )

GRIMLOCK: Whoo! Yeah!

Hyah! Come on, that's all you got?

( both grunting )

HAMMERSTRIKE: Release me, surface creature!

I do not wish your vile stench to cling to my exterior!

( Hammerstrike grunts )

GRIMLOCK: Vile sten--? Whoa!

( Grimlock grunting )

Grimlock?

( growling )

Kinda wish I was a bigger Bot.

STRONGARM: Who does that punk think he's...

( gasps )

( grunts )

( twig snaps )

( weapon cocks )

( suspenseful theme playing )

Prepare for freedom, brother.

STRONGARM: Claws in the air!

Hello, sister.

Did you fall out of the sky too?

I'm so glad we found each other.

Decepticon fugitive:

By order of Cybertronian Legal Code,

Section three zero five,

you are hereby-- Huh, of course. You're confused.

I wasn't a prisoner on that ship, I was a guard.

Fixit never said anything

about a guard being on the Alchemor.

Fixit, heh, yes.

Well, he wouldn't have known.

I was in stasis also.

My pod programmed to wake me in case of a riot.

Then why would you have a Decepticon Logo?

( laughs )

You're very well trained, asking excellent questions.

The logo is meant to confuse the other--

( roars )

This is Strongarm! I'm under attack.

Hunh! My location is--

( snarls ) ( grunts )

Whoa! Unh! Uhh...

( chuckles )

Strongarm isn't back yet, is she?

Listen, Sideswipe--

Oh, and I didn't find any stasis pods.

Your equipment must be zotzed, motor mouth.

Sideswipe! What?

Strongarm called in. It sounded like she was in trouble,

but it was too hard to hear.

Then her comm stopped functioning.

And I can't track her.

You two split up, didn't you? Scrap.

I'll notify Bumblebee immediately.

I'll handle it.

( both grunting )

You have forced me to walk on two legs,

like some foul land-dweller.

How dare you?

( both grunting )

I didn't realize it was an issue.

( grunting )

Listen, Sharkticon-- My name is Hammerstrike.

Cybertron's most feared pirate

and soon the ruler of all this planet's seas.

Yeah, okay, whatever. Look, surrender now,

or when my partner returns, you'll probably take a beating,

then surrender.

( both grunting )

( Hammerstrike laughs )

Surrender to the likes of you?

I would never be able to show my fins

in the Gorgian Depths again!

( both grunting )

I'm sure that would leave a big hole in your social calendar,

but we're still bringing you in.

Any time now, Grimlock.

( dramatic theme playing )

( grunting )

What are you looking at?

( both grunting )

Release me!

You are not fit to touch my tail!

( groans )

Guess you took a beating after all.

( sirens blaring ) Huh?

( both grunting )

Even in your element, I am your superior.

Do not pursue me, or I shall prove it again.

( sniffing )

Now your ground stench will be on me for weeks. Feh!

( groans )

( dramatic theme playing )

( sighs )

Grimlock! Can you hear me?

Can you get to shore?

Where is everyone?

Oh, uh, let's see,

Denny Clay went for supplies,

Cadet Strongarm and Sideswipe are still out on alignment--

advisement-- assignment--

and I'm not sure where young Russell is.

So how did your mission go?

Well, Grimlock got a bath out of it.

I need to know more about Sharkticons

so we can predict where this one might go next.

Huh, let me see.

Salium removal, scar data, self-repairing actualizer.

Heh, speaking of salium removal,

did I tell you about the time I got my head stuck in a--

Focus.

FIXIT: Uh, Shadow casting-- Ooh, Sharkticons.

The database says Sharkticons live

in highly viscous fluid environments,

can swim at high speeds

and have multiple rows of sharp teeth.

Yeah, I noticed that.

Okay, so Hammerstrike wants to control this planet's oceans,

but why would he start by attacking an oil tanker?

Unless he wasn't initiating his campaign just yet.

He was trying to re-create his home environment.

All right, run a search.

See if there are any other nearby sources of crude oil.

Oh, there's a shore-- shore-- shoreline refinery

within just a couple of miles of here.

Human personnel? Mm-mm, fully automated.

( dramatic theme playing )

Sorry about before.

Everyone makes mistakes, Grimlock.

But keep in mind, just because you've taken the first step

doesn't mean you've won the race.

Okay. How many steps are there?

( sighs )

SIDESWIPE: Where are we?

An old ranger station.

See? Glow-in-the-dark paint.

Rangers use it to mark off-limit areas during hunting season.

SIDESWIPE: But no sign of Teamy McTeamwork.

( sighs )

Someone's been here recently. This chain's snapped clean.

From the skid marks,

it looks like the truck was yanked around

by something big.

SIDESWIPE: Won't matter if we find Strongarm.

She'll still treat me like scrap.

My dad always says, "You wanna get respect,

you have to give respect."

One of you just has to take the first step, that's all.

( Strongarm groaning )

( chuckles )

You still don't understand. I want to help you.

I'm sorry I lied.

I didn't know if I could trust you.

Yes, I am a Decepticon, but I've changed.

Into a kidnapping Decepticon?

I apologize for the things I've done,

but I can never go back to Cybertron.

I'd be locked up again, just the way you wanted to jail me,

before I could explain anything.

I was just--

But on this planet,

I can begin anew with fellow prisoners

who feel the same way.

In peace. Now, is that so wrong?

I don't trust him. He's too cool.

Kinda reminds me of someone.

So, what do we do now?

If I was half the criminal Strongarm thinks I am,

I'd just walk away.

( gasps )

( whispering ): What are you doing?

Making you a criminal. Come on!

( dramatic theme playing )

( grunts )

Okay, we split up, just for now.

If you find Hammerstrike, what do you do?

Start punching.

Call you, then start punching.

( metal clanking ) ( gasps )

Forced to walk the land twice in one day.

Thank the currents others can't see me now.

Huh? What?

( all grunting )

( suspenseful theme playing )

( all yelling )

But giving you a second chance isn't up to me.

I'm just a cadet.

My superior officer would have to be the one to--

I would love to meet your superior officer.

And the rest of your squadron.

How many of you are there. Where are you based?

We're just over by the... Wait.

How do I know this isn't a trick?

SIDESWIPE: I see you found an Autobot.

Can I get in on a little payback?

( dramatic theme playing )

Greetings, brother.

I'm Steeljaw. And you are...?

Oh, I'm-- Ahem, I'm Grimbee.

I am glad you are free, Grimbee.

Step into the light and join me.

What, uh-- What happened to your mark there, uh, Steeljaw?

Ahem. Brother?

I destroyed it and its tracking mechanism.

The Autobots mustn't capture me before I can prove to them

that I have reformed and want to live here now, peacefully.

As I'm sure you do too.

( gasps )

( dramatic theme playing )

Get out, go.

Me? No, no, I'd never give up doing crime things.

No, besides, I hate the Autobots,

especially know-it-all cadets, am I right?

Oh, cadets can be wonderful if used properly.

Tell me more about yourself, Grimbee.

How were you captured?

How was I captured?

Well, it, uh... It was a dark and stormy night.

( metal clanks ) ( roars )

( gasps )

( Grimlock and Bumblebee grunting )

Grimlock, let go!

( both grunting )

( sighs )

( roars ) ( gasps )

( suspenseful theme playing )

( grunts )

( laughs )

I never tire of watching dust-grubbers

fall all over themselves.

One more triumph of sea over land.

One more tuna in a can.

( growls )

( both grunting )

( grunting )

Whoa-oh! Oh, surface trickery.

( grunting )

( laughs )

( triumphant theme playing )

Great call, Grimlock.

What's the matter? I never got to punch him.

HAMMERSTRIKE: Ah, cheaters!

You could not beat a sea champion in a fair fight!

( Hammerstrike groans )

Feel better?

A little.

What are you? Besides strange?

Look who's talking.

( growling )

Don't go near him, "brother."

Treachery. How like you Autobots.

Unh!

( suspenseful theme playing )

( grunting )

( snarls )

( roars )

( both grunting )

Yaah!

Ohh!

( gasps )

Aah!

( distant howl )

I have a bad feeling we're gonna see that Con again.

I hope so.

FIXIT: Cadet Strongarm! You're all right.

BUMBLEBEE: Why wouldn't she be?

Hey, what'd I miss?

I was having a little communications difficulty

earlier, Lieutenant. Nothing serious.

Anything to report?

We found some open pods, sir,

and a Decepticon.

Calls himself Steeljaw.

Says he wants to live peacefully on this planet

with like-minded Decepticons,

but he got unpeaceful with us pretty quick.

Can't wait to meet him. I'll go put this one away.

And I'll do it gently.

HAMMERSTRIKE: The sea! It calls to me!

( blow lands ) ( Hammerstrike groans )

If he's lying about going straight,

we could be looking at a Decepticon army

trying to take this planet.

It's all the more reason to wrap these fugitives up fast.

I'll have Fixit prep a report on Steeljaw's background.

He's now on the top of our most wanted list.

Good intel, newbies.

Apparently, I can send you into the field together.

Thanks, Russell, you really saved my spark back there.

Uh, you're welcome.

What? Hey, I put my gears on the line for you too, you know.

Fine. You're never gonna--

Whoa! Uhh!

Thanks. And don't get cocky.

That "first step" we talked about in the woods?

I think it's been taken.
