( buffer whirring )

Hmm. Please acquire a fin-bearing sea-dweller.

Oh. Go fish.

( sighs )

And the flanking action allowed us to rout

the Decepticon forces.

Amazing. Tell us another.

Ugh, give it a rest, will you, Strongarm?

You bugging Pops for war stories

is getting older than, well, Pops.

Sideswipe, you'd better watch your--

Young Bot, you may call me Optimus Prime or Optimus.

Those are your only options, understood?

Yes, sir.

And I'm not bugging Optimus. I'm leaving.

You should try it sometime. Soon.

You're not the boss of me.

Someone has to be.

( both grunt )

SIDESWIPE: What? Don't--

( laughter )

( both cheer )

( grunting continuous )

Okay, Slick, Cadet, cease fire before...

Whoa!

( both gasp )

Sideswipe, Strongarm, be careful.

It wasn't easy capturing those Cyclone Mini-Cons.

( grunting continuous )

SIDESWIPE: Come on!

Ugh. Grimlock, would you please break them up?

( roars )

Grim.

( all gasp )

Micronus.

Transformers

Robots in disguise

Robots in disguise

( roars )

Robots in disguise

Robots in disguise

Micronus? Aah! Get him off me! Get him off me!

Aah!

Optimus Prime,

now that your battle with Megatronus is over,

you must return those portions of the Sparks

your fellow Primes lent you.

I understand.

Wait. Optimus told us the first transfer almost destroyed him.

How do we know the reversal won't--?

This isn't a Q&A session, Botling.

Commence reversal.

( screams )

Stop! You're tearing him apart!

Aah!

Whoa!

( screaming )

Optimus, are you all right?

( groans )

I am...alive, Bumblebee.

Barely.

You took too much of his power.

( computerized beeping )

My scan indicates Optimus will recover.

My scan indicates Optimus' levels are dangerously low.

When will Optimus recover?

Weeks? Months?

Only time knows the answer.

That isn't helpful.

Is he gone? Please, tell me he's gone!

Whew!

Well, Optimus might not feel better, but I sure do.

My physical condition is of no consequence.

Let us continue our mission.

Optimus, you should take it easy.

I am functional.

And if I am functional,

then I am capable of assisting as I heal.

He's about as weak as a frayed fan belt.

I'll snap you in two if you don't stop that kind of talk.

If Optimus says he can help, he can help.

Regardless, it's been weeks since we defeated Megatronus.

We need to get back to capturing Decepticons.

And stop fighting with each other.

Now, most of the Alchemor's fugitives

have been centered near the Scrapyard,

but Windblade's told us there are others

scattered all over the world.

On which region do we focus?

All of them.

Drift, you and your Mini-Cons, along with Windblade,

will concentrate on distant Decepticons.

Your stealth and speed should allow you

to cover substantial ground.

Then I'm going with them.

With me on board, we'll have any 'Cons we find

rounded up before Russell's lunchtime.

You just want to be wherever Windblade is.

Don't put me in the middle of your little psychodrama.

You've got it all wrong.

I just want to be wherever you aren't.

( both growl )

Enough!

Sideswipe, if you want to go, go.

Yes!

Strongarm, Grimlock and I

will continue to operate from the Scrapyard,

with Denny and Russell's assistance.

Optimus, with Fixit's help,

will track and coordinate all of our missions

from the Command Center. OPTIMUS: No, Bumblebee.

I believe I would be most helpful leading your field team.

With all due respect, sir...

You're kind of gonna slow us down.

You were built for neither speed nor stealth.

And we don't want to see you get hurt.

Your concern is appreciated, but unwarranted.

Optimus Prime will lead the Away Team.

Fixit, resume scanning and widen the vectors.

Let's see if we can pick up

a remote Decepticon signal somewhere.

And rig up a portable tracker for the Away Team to use.

Yes, sir.

I shall assist

with the construction of the tracker.

You've had some wonky ideas, Bee,

but putting Optimus in charge of us? That's--

None of us is gonna be able to make Optimus change his mind.

Let him lead as best he can,

and try to position him where his condition

can't jeopardize your missions.

At least until his strength returns.

How?

Suggest he hang back, to coordinate communications

or formulate strategy.

You know, something like that.

( sighs ): Okay.

But only if I get to come up

with a cooler name for us than the "Away Team."

FIXIT: Lieutenant.

Decepticon signal located at the Arctic Circle.

The Arctic Circle.

The cold will impede our systems.

We must capture our quarry quickly.

I'll program the coordinates into the Ground Bridge.

Looks like you're up, Away Team.

You mean "Bad Bot Bashers."

Huh?

Right?

Come on.

I'm just warming up.

My friends, let us venture forth on this new mission,

and let us claim victory

for Cybertron and for Earth.

( sighs )

( grunts ): Ow!

Forward.

( dramatic theme playing )

Is this really a good idea, sir?

They'll be fine.

( explosion )

( both gasp )

( suspenseful theme playing )

Whoa!

( sighs )

Look at the bright side: the fire's out,

and you can skip your bath tonight.

( sighs )

Command Center to Away Team, do you read?

Away Team, can you read me?

For all I know, their molecules could have been scattered

from here to Cabraxas IV.

Or they could have materialized inside a meteor, or--

Fixit, stay calm.

Keep trying.

Right.

Away Team, this is--

OPTIMUS: This is Optimus Prime,

Command Center.

( wind gusting )

We have reached the Arctic Circle.

We are at the base of an ice mountain...

near some manner of research installation.

Is everything okay back there?

We heard strange noises as we came through the portal.

We had a slight malfunction of the Ground Bridge.

( sizzling )

My theory is that something in the Primes' reversal process

altered your basic chemistry, Optimus.

When you went through the portal,

you affected the Ground Bridge

the same way a magnet damages a lard chive--

Card five-- Hard drive.

In other words, you're not taking a shortcut home

until we get the Ground Bridge fixed.

Understood. Optimus out.

I shall scan for our quarry.

Remain here and prepare yourselves for battle,

should there be one.

Did I call it?

Optimus is already messing us up.

It'll take us forever

to drive back to the Scrapyard from here.

Cut him some cable, Slick.

It wasn't his fault the Ground Bridge fritzed.

According to the scanner, the Decepticon's signal

is emanating from that cave.

Travel up the mountain will not be easy,

but-- Aah!

Are you injured, Optimus Prime?

I am fine, Drift.

Ugh!

( suspenseful theme playing )

Grimlock, please help me gently separate

the pieces of the Ground Bridge.

We must determine which components remain operational.

( grunts )

( roars )

I said gently!

That was my gently.

Bee, are you sure it was wise to split your team like this?

Specifically, sir, was it wise

to separate those of us who wield Decepticon Hunters?

Fair point. And I do worry about jeopardizing the chemistry

we've built since we've been here.

But I can't send Grimlock on an extended field mission.

He's too hard to disguise.

And we can't just fight Decepticon activity here

when we have every reason to believe

there are fugitives all over the globe.

Solid reasoning, sir.

I just hope neither team encounters anything

that will make you regret your decision.

( heavy footsteps )

( ominous theme playing )

Please, please, keep your seats.

And bring Optimus Prime to me now.

Overload?

( sirens blaring )

Denny, Russell, get to safety.

Way ahead of you, Bee!

Shut down the Scrapyard's defense systems.

FIXIT: You don't have to tell me twice.

You almost look familiar.

But I've performed before so many.

( growls )

When I awoke from stasis,

I sensed Optimus' energy signature here.

He stole my spotlight so long ago

in our first encounter.

But the sequel shall be very different.

( roars )

( grunts ) Whoa!

Oh, you're looking to take center stage.

Well, you're not the star here.

You're not even an extra.

( grunting )

Watch the face.

The face is an actor's fortune, you know.

( grunting )

Hi. I'm Grimlock,

the Dinobot who's gonna rearrange your pistons.

Is that right?

Exit Grimlock, stage left.

( screams )

( suspenseful theme playing )

( wind gusting )

( panting )

Hey, Optimus, if the cold is slowing you down,

why don't you just go back and, uh,

coordinate communications for us?

What Sideswipe means, sir,

is that you're too valuable to be up here.

I agree. If you relocate to the bottom of the mountain,

you could hold your strength in reserve

in case we encounter difficulty.

That's not exactly what I was--

That might well be a prudent suggestion.

Perhaps I--

Aah!

( snarling )

Found our Decepticon.

But unless he runs out of ice,

we're gonna be stuck here for a while.

That is not acceptable.

( groans )

Continue up the mountain.

I will provide cover.

Optimus, you are too exposed.

( grunts )

Do not argue.

You must continue up the mountain--

Aah!

( action theme playing )

Optimus!

( dramatic theme playing )

( grunting )

Hang on, Optimus. We'll come get you.

Okay, how are we gonna go get him?

I can't carry Optimus in jet mode.

He's too heavy for me.

Have your Mini-Cons give Optimus something to stand on.

I'll see if I can take the pressure off for a little while.

( dramatic theme playing )

Right. I'll wait here.

( groaning )

SLIPSTREAM: Rest your weight upon us, Optimus.

JETSTORM: Not all of it, perhaps.

( grunting )

SLIPSTREAM ( straining ): Light as a feather.

JETSTORM: Uh-oh.

( both chattering )

Fixit, it sounded like Bee knows this 'Con.

He should.

( electronic beeping )

During the War for Cybertron,

Overload was the Decepticons' top spy.

He assumed many identities,

and fancied himself a brilliant actor.

Overload's work led to the destruction

of several Autobot installations,

until Optimus learned of the treachery

and put an end to it.

But Overload badly injured Optimus's rookie scout

in the battle.

Bumblebee.

( groaning )

Let me give you your cue one last time.

Where is Optimus?

He's gone.

( moans )

( grunts )

OVERLOAD: Oh, amateurs.

( Grimlock grunting )

But wait.

Why am I concerning myself with mere understudies?

Optimus is who I want.

Optimus always felt protective of innocent bit players.

And this world is full of them.

If I crush those bit players,

Optimus will come running.

And I'll be waiting.

( laughs maniacally )

( both chatter )

( techno theme playing )

STRONGARM: Hate to say it, Lieutenant,

but Overload seems to have the armor

to stand up to our entire team.

It didn't look like he had as much armor on his face.

He thinks he's an actor.

Probably doesn't want to hide his "good looks."

Maybe if we had Sideswipe, Drift and--

"Maybe" doesn't matter. I'm taking that Decepticon down.

With our help.

Before he hurts anyone else.

Fixit, continue Ground Bridge repairs

while I go after Overload.

We have another concern.

Ransack and Backtrack are moose--

Goose-- Loose!

Stopping Overload is my priority right now.

We'll add the Mini-Cons to our "to-do" list.

Lieutenant, we're going too, right?

Oh. Of course.

Come on, team, let's rev up and roll out.

( tires screech )

Bee's taking this way too personally.

You noticed, huh?

( dramatic theme playing )

( tree rustling )

( Ransack and Backtrack chittering and humming )

Hail and well met,

small doers of great destruction.

BOTH: Uh...huh?

Care to audition for my supporting cast?

( dramatic theme playing )

And action!

( grunts )

( laughs )

Showtime.

( laughing )

( dramatic theme playing )
