This map shows where we've found stasis pods so far.

Hey, if you drew a line between the pod vocations--

ovations-- locations, it looks kind of like Megatron.

Here's that thing on his nose, here's the... Oh.

The point is,

now we have an idea of where to search for more pods.

The more pods we find, the better our chances

of finding fugitives nearby. In this grid alone,

there are probably... SIDESWIPE: Ow!

( laughs )

And that, funny bot, is what happens

when someone sticks his finger in my audio receptor.

For a rule book with arms, you fight dirty.

Ha, ha! Do it again, Strongarm.

Guys, please, I'm just trying to get us better organized.

You got lucky. I was about to make my move.

My foot is about to move you right back to Cybertron.

Enough.

( laughs )

Um, should I reschedule our map presentation for tomorrow?

My team never gave Optimus trouble like this.

Really? What was his secret?

I'm not sure.

I guess I could try asking him.

( clears throat )

H-Hello? Optimus?

I don't know if this is the way to reach you

in whatever realm you're in,

but the last time you appeared it was in a reflection, so...

This is ridiculous. I jus...

Optimus, I could use some advice.

My team doesn't always listen to me,

and it makes me wonder

if I'm even cut out to be a leader.

I'm worried. If I can't figure out how to lead,

it could be a...

One, two.

Whoa! Whoa!

...disaster.

One, two.

Hey, whoa!

( dramatic theme playing )

Ow!

My 1978 Volcano Avenger machine.

( spits )

( bells ringing )

Scrap.

Transformers

Robots in disguise

Robots in disguise

( roars ) Robots in disguise

Robots in disguise

Ahh, you know, when Optimus told us

to stop doing something, we stopped.

Why? Because Optimus had

this great, commanding voice.

It was... Ahh. Ahem.

( firmly ): Strongarm.

( gasps )

BUMBLEBEE: Sideswipe. ( gasps )

BUMBLEBEE: Grimlock. Huh?

There is no time for this foolishness.

We have a galaxy relying on us and a mission to complete.

( all laughing )

Oh, I'm so sorry, sir, but...

( all laughing )

That's the worst Starscream imitation ever.

( all laughing )

Starscream?

I picked up a Decepticon signal.

It appears to be coming from--

Crown City? How do you know?

This afternoon, on this wooded trail,

hikers found a strange object which was then brought

to the Crown City Museum of Natural History and Sciences.

As imaginations run rampant,

scientists are working to open the bizarre artifact.

Sources tell us the object appears

completely alien to them,

with another source speculating

that there might be something

or someone locked inside.

( sighs )

Why is everyone so bummed?

Humans found a stasis pod for us.

Let's walk in there and get it.

Our goal is to not be seen by Earth's population, remember?

Still, we need that pod

before the humans accidentally free what's inside.

No problem. I could pose as a dashing archaeologist.

I'll ask for a tour. Once I'm in,

I'll open the loading dock doors for you.

Then you grab the pod.

Hm, sounds almost reasonable.

Let's find a tarp to cover Grimlock

for the trip into town.

This'll be a blast and a half.

What should I wear?

I don't know, Rusty, it could be dangerous.

You'd have to promise to stay by me the whole time.

Don't worry, Dad, you're in charge.

I'll do whatever you say.

Although I might not wear the hat.

DENNY: I'm Nevada Flieber, famous archaeologist.

I discovered the Flengi Tribe in the lost city of Pantra.

I'm surprised you don't recognize me.

And I'm here with my intern--

International adventurer.

I'm McPlank.

We just got back from Cartagascar,

where Professor Flieber helped me recover the Sammurabi idol.

Helped you? I wouldn't say...

Anyway, we're thinking of donating the idol to Crown City,

which could mean a lot of publicity

and ticket sales for your museum,

so I thought a tour-- Yes, of course.

Right this way.

You promised to follow my lead, McPlank.

Lead on.

( dramatic theme playing )

Ah. You are really going to appreciate Earth museums.

I learned some fascinating stuff

in places like-- Aw. GRIMLOCK: Ugh.

Finally. That thing smells like Fixit's tread grease.

STRONGARM: Unh! Somebody help me with this.

Ew! SIDESWIPE: Ha, ha, ha!

Classic. Ha, ha, ha!

STRONGARM: Put your arms down. No, stop.

SIDESWIPE: Stop yelling! STRONGARM: Not in my face.

STRONGARM: No. Get away from me. Stop.

( both grunting )

STRONGARM: Stop it!

Really? Ahh!

Welcome.

You're just in time for the diversion.

( alarm bell ringing )

( all yelling indistinctly )

( alarm continues ringing )

What are these statues of human beings so happy about?

Well, they're cowboys.

They were independent, carefree adventure-seekers

who transported groups of equine and bovine mammals

across this continent's western region before it was settled.

It was an exciting time.

I understood exactly none of that.

Me either. Let's go find the stasis pod.

( firmly ): Stop!

Yeah, I think I know what I did wrong before.

I was just doing Optimus' voice, not his body language.

By dividing our search efforts,

we will be more efficient.

Each of you shall choose a...

( sighs )

Stay here. If anything goes wrong,

evacuate via the loading docks.

Bet Bee wishes his team was as crackerjack as we.

Russell?

They said McPlank couldn't find the treasure,

but like McPlank always said, "McPlank has his ways."

McPlank knew he should get help,

but he also knew the stasis pod could burst open at any moment.

McPlank had to re-seal the pod himself.

( yells then grunts )

( dramatic theme playing )

( roars )

McPlank was in big trouble this time.

( grunting )

What are you?

Surprised.

Unh. What is this place?

Last I remember, my boss Contrail sent me

to smash the stabilizers off a bot who crossed him,

then I woke up in that tiny box.

( roars )

( dramatic theme playing )

No one puts Terrashock in a tiny box!

( Terrashock gasping )

Walls are closing in.

Hard to breathe. Gotta get out.

Gotta find Contrail.

( roars )

Wait, wait, wait!

( suspenseful theme playing )

Ow!

Which way's out?

I'm not sure, but if you wanna wait here,

I'll try and find someone who-- Russell? That you?

Hey, are you the Bot that Contrail sent me to wise up?

Probably not?

( growls )

Of course you're gonna say that.

What do you think I am, stupid?

Is that a trick question?

( grunts )

( tense theme playing ) ( grunts )

( breathing heavily )

I am getting out of here,

and I'll smash any bot that gets in my way.

( suspenseful theme playing )

What do we do? We get in his way. Come on.

( dramatic theme playing )

( alarm bell ringing )

( ringing stops )

Sideswipe, you make walking a bore.

Have you seen a metal buffalo come through here?

Big head, small brain?

Fixit, have you been hearing this?

Can you give us an ID? FIXIT: Yes, sir.

From the description,

particularly the small brain part...

( dramatic theme playing )

it sounds like Terrashock,

a Buffaloid considered the most brutal enforcer on Cybertron.

That's what was in the pod? Great.

Once a Buffaloid gets moving, it's nearly impossible to stop.

Nice to see you, McPlank.

We were gonna stay together, remember?

Come on, Dad, I found the Decepticon.

I'll find Terrashock. Back in a flash.

( firmly ): Team, listen to me.

This is Bumblebee,

your team leader. Heh, heh.

If you find the fugitive, do not engage him.

Instead, summon your teammates

and bring the Decepticon

to the museum's entrance grand hall,

where we can attack it together.

Right.

See, I realized I wasn't adding the inspirational team stuff,

like Optimus would have, so... Heh, heh.

You know what? Let's get to the museum entrance.

( light dramatic theme playing )

( grunting )

What are you doing here? Did Contrail send you?

He said I was his only enforcer.

No need to call the rest of the team for this genius.

Ugh! Ain't nobody stealing my job!

Uhh!

And we'll add a 1305, destruction of private property

to your list of crimes.

You're under arrest, Decepticon.

( grunting )

( Strongarm yells )

( grunts )

( dramatic theme playing )

Ahh. Transmitter.

Terrashock to Contrail. You there, boss?

( grunting )

Need some help?

( Grimlock roars )

( both grunt )

( grunts )

( electricity crackling )

( grunts )

MAN: Water. Our most precious resource.

( panting )

Wha...? Ah, better.

Must have made it outside somehow.

( groans )

MAN: But in an instant, water can also become a monster.

( gasps )

Worse!

Yeah, Strongarm, I did catch the bad guy all by myself,

and, no, I don't accept your apology.

( dramatic theme playing )

( grunting )

Get off me!

Nah, I've been on my feet all day.

( both grunting )

( thunder rumbling )

( growls )

( screams )

Anyone seen the rest of the team?

Maybe the team's just not into

your whole "I'm gonna lead like Optimus" plan.

I just-- I don't know what else I can--

( Terrashock panting )

Finally.

( tense theme playing )

It's just me then.

End of the line, Decepticon.

( grunts )

( roars )

( both scream )

( all gasp )

( people yelling and screaming )

( people gasp )

( people murmuring )

( dramatic theme playing )

( dramatic theme playing )

DENNY: It's okay, folks.

Nothing to see here.

The museum's been working on some new animatronics.

Watch. Hey, big guy.

What's the density of Mercury?

The density of Mercury is, uh...

Bzz. Error. Bzz. Error.

Still working out the bugs, obviously.

Museum's almost ready to re-open.

See you inside, soon.

Dad, that was a pretty good idea back there.

Well, I had a pretty good teammate

helping me make it work.

Strongarm, Sideswipe, Grimlock, this is Bumblebee.

The Decepticon is loose in the city.

I'm heading to the loading docks and going after him.

Bumblebee out.

Why didn't you order them to meet you there?

Isn't that what Optimus would've done?

Probably.

OPTIMUS: Bumblebee?

Optimus, I tried to call you.

I am permitted to make contact

only when the primes believe your need to be dire.

I hope you are making progress.

Actually, now's not a great time for me to talk, Optimus.

A Decepticon is free in a populated area.

I see. You and your team

will pursue and apprehend it, I assume.

My team.

I'm not doing a very good job of leading them, Optimus.

No matter how much I try to be like you.

Perhaps that is the problem.

Bumblebee, you are not me.

You can say that again.

You misunderstand.

I only...

Optimus?

He just disappeared.

I hope he's all right.

Did he say anything before he went?

That I'm not him.

Maybe Optimus didn't mean

that you not being him is a bad thing.

I mean, you're you.

You've been so busy trying to give orders like someone else.

What would you do if you just tried to lead like you?

( dramatic theme playing )

Hm.

Sorry, lieutenant.

Just had some bad luck.

That thing has a really hard head.

We're going after Terrashock together.

Come on.

Sir? Do you have a plan?

If no one's giving a Buffaloid orders, it feels lost. Alone.

But if someone steers the Buffaloid...

The Buffaloid will go where you tell it to.

Maybe even right into a stasis pod.

Lieutenant, that's brilliant.

Even better than that, Cadet, it's gonna be fun.

Let's roll out.

( dramatic theme playing )

TERRASHOCK: Contrail!

STRONGARM: Our cover. BUMBLEBEE: Forget our cover.

We'll deal with that after we capture Terrashock.

Do like I do.

Yee-haw! Yippie ki-yay!

SIDESWIPE: Yee-haw! Yippie ki-yay!

STRONGARM: Yee-haw! Zippy highway!

( truck honks horn )

( Bumblebee grunts )

Huh?

( western theme playing )

( Bumblebee grunts )

Hyah!

Hyah! Whoo-hoo! Box him in, Strongarm.

Hyah!

( grunts )

STRONGARM: Yee-haw!

BUMBLEBEE: If he hits that scaffolding, the overpass might come down.

STRONGARM: We're too close. There's no time.

I have this.

( western theme playing )

Cannonball!

Cowboy Grimlock. I like the sound of that.

No way Bee and his team keep their cover after this.

Like McPlank always says, "McPlank has his ways."

Strongarm, you got a speaker?

STRONGARM: Blue button.

RUSSELL: If you liked that action, folks,

come on over to the Stunt Car and Truck Festival

in Witchihoma County. Bring the kids.

Where's Witchihoma County?

( imitates engine revving )

That was a blast and a half.

Don't you guys think?

Blast and a half.

What would cowboys do after a successful mission?

BUMBLEBEE: Just what we're doing, Grimlock.

Ride off into the sunset together.

Whoo-hoo!

STRONGARM: Yippy-ki-yay!

GRIMLOCK: Yee-haw!
