( BLASTERS FIRING )

Fixit! You messed up a security cannon again!

And everything else!

( FIZZLES, CRACKLES )

( LAUGHS )

Some outside element activated

the Scrapyard's electrical systems!

( YELPS )

ALL: Grimlock!

Wasn't me. You guys are mean!

Ah!

Are we under attack?

I-I don't believe so, but... ( CANNON FIRING RAPIDLY )

Huh?

Oh, no!

Whew!

( DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING )

I still don't see any sign of attackers... What could've...

( JET ENGINE APPROACHES ) ( GASPS )

Is it Steeljaw?

Trying to destroy the Scrapyard again?

No, it's...

( PHASING )

STRONGARM: Prime Force One...!

( HEROIC THEME PLAYING )

We apologize if our arrival caused you any disturbance.

We recently replaced our damaged cloaking system.

We now use an experimental one devised by Ratchet!

It's first deployment seems to have yielded...

mixed results.

I'm a medic, not an inventor!

Although my triage shield

for treating battlefield casualties

has been a big success.

Teamie!

( LOUD CRASH ) ( METAL CREAKING )

Grimlock... can you not simply

wave... hello?

BOTH: Windblade!

My two favorite track-burners.

- Jazz. - Bulkhead.

( CLANGS ) BOTH: All right.

Welcome, Optimus...

I have a feeling this isn't a social call by you and your...

All-Star Team.

Indeed not, my former scout.

Are you finally gonna tell us why you've been doing

all this sneaking around, why you borrowed Drift...

And why you wanted me to meet you here on Earth?

Yes. The time has come for all of you to join our mission...

The liberation of Cybertron.

( GASPS )

Cybertron...

Has it been invaded?

No. The threat rose from within.

( MYSTERIOUS THEME PLAYING )

OPTIMUS: In the wake of our home planet's reconstruction following the War,

a new High Council swept into power.

They promised to keep weary Cybertron out of interplanetary affairs.

Though a statue in my honor

was built before the Council took office,

they quickly saw to it that I was blamed

for the destruction and devastation our people faced,

and by association,

anybot who stood beside me was also blamed.

That's why you weren't treated as a hero

and given a prominent position after the war, isn't it, Sir?

The only work I could find was as a beat cop.

We all faced similar situations.

None of us protested.

We thought it was the will of the people.

But you didn't think so.

And I have been gathering allies

and collecting evidence ever since.

The final piece of that evidence

came from Drift...

I infiltrated the High Council chambers.

There, I overheard the Council gloating

about discrediting Optimus and his allies,

and about their use of mind-control

on the population.

They said they are on the brink of their ultimate goal.

And they could enact their plan at any moment.

But what is their goal?

( COMPUTER BEEPING )

Multiple Autobot signatures near Crown City.

It has begun.

Something's begunning? What's begunned?

The Cybertronian invasion of Earth.

( DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING )

Our final triumph is in sight.

CYBERWARP: I'm just asking, one more time,

does it have to be this way?

What I mean is, does it have to be so violent?

We swore a pact together, Cyberwarp.

Believe me, Cyclonus,

I remember, but...

You promised to do what was right for Cybertron...

and we agreed we were right for Cybertron.

I still want what's in the best interests of our planet.

But you no longer believe our methods serve those interests?

I've just never understood why, in order for our kind to succeed,

others must suffer!

Oh, they don't have to suffer, Cyberwarp.

That's just a happy bonus.

You're taking too much pleasure in this, Cyclonus.

And you're not taking enough.

Just play your part, Cyberwarp.

This will all be worth it in the end.

Autobots invading Earth?

But why?

Especially when you say the whole planet wanted

to stay away from other worlds.

I am still uncertain of the High Council's endgame,

but the fact they used mind-control

to secure the population's support...

Means it's something they know the people wouldn't approve of.

BUMBLEBEE: The invaders need to be stopped, and we're the team to do it!

- Autobots, let's rev up and... - OPTIMUS: No.

Action must be taken on Cybertron to restore the population,

and to expose the Council.

My team is too recognizable for the task.

You've been robots in disguise on Earth for a long time now.

Most of you are only known on Cybertron through stories of your adventures here.

I'm definitely recognizable on Cybertron, though.

But I don't want my team going without me...

You have learned the skill of camouflage from your teammates,

just as I taught them, Bumblebee.

( SUSPENSEFUL THEME PLAYING )

( PHASING )

This should let me blend in.

While we deal with the invaders,

you will return to Cybertron on Prime Force One.

I trust you remember how to fly it, Fixit?

Without session... Flexion... ( CLANGS ) Question, Optimus Prime, heh, sir.

I would offer you the SpaceBridge I used in my last visit to Earth,

but it has since failed.

The new propulsion system we've thrown together is solid.

You should get from here to Cybertron a lot faster than normal.

And the cloaking system should allow you to approach the planet undetected.

Emphasis on "should,"

because I'm a medic, not...

"An inventor." We know.

Then let us attend to our tasks.

Two worlds need us.

Let's rev up and roll out!

( TRIUMPHANT THEME PLAYING )

( FOOTSTEPS )

Didn't dream we'd be in space again this soon...

A lot of things have happened recently that we never dreamed of.

Battling Steeljaw and his Pack after we thought we'd gotten rid of them,

learning to combine all five of us into a giant Autobot,

taking down a Decepticon combiner on the moon,

and now this...?

Eh. Just another Saturday morning for us, right?

I don't understand it.

I've been running diagnostics on the ship's systems,

and they say there's one more energy signature aboard

- than there should be! - A stowaway?

- Autobots, fan out and... - STEELJAW: No need, Lieutenant...

( HEAVY THUDDING )

I come in peace.

( DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING )

Steeljaw. Grab him!

So... okay.

Gotcha.

I understand your apprehension, Autobots,

but believe me when I say I'm not here to hurt you.

I bet you're not here to sell us insurance, either.

You've tricked us before, Steeljaw,

you'll forgive us if we play this cautiously.

Why are you here?

To join in your mission, of course.

You see, this time...

I'm on your side.

( COMPUTER BEEPING )

OPTIMUS PRIME: A Cybertronian Covert Action craft.

Its cloak would keep it from being detected.

That means we're probably dealing with a Cybertronian advance party,

not the main invasion force.

I remember that building.

It's an electronic parts warehouse,

no human personnel.

( DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING )

( GEARS WHIRRING, CLANGING )

( CRACKLING )

OPTIMUS: Autobots, roll out!

( GEARS WHIRRING ) ( ENGINES ROARING )

( JETS HISSING )

( KNUCKLES CRACK, CHIME )

Sounds just like wind chimes.

- I'm gonna make you sound like a... - BUMBLEBEE: Grimlock...

What is "on our side" supposed to mean, Steeljaw?

The last time we faced each other, I heard you mention

strange happenings on Cybertron,

so afterward, I staked out your little home to learn more.

You, uh, didn't see me getting that paint touch-up, did you?

No... but I did hear Optimus Prime

inform you of an invasion from our home planet.

And you care, why?

When I first came to Earth, I wanted a planet... Any planet.

to rule as a Decepticon Homeworld.

But I've come to like this world.

And if the High Council conquers Earth,

I can't have it.

So... a brief alliance.

( SUSPENSEFUL THEME PLAYING )

Steeljaw, I trust you about as far as Grimlock can throw you.

Actually, that's pretty far.

Trust me, you're going to need my help.

We've done fine so far without it.

Lock him up. Tight.

And slap a paralytic patch on his voice modulator.

I don't want him sweet-talking his way into confusing us.

But just let...

( MODULATOR CHIMES )

( SPEAKS INAUDIBLE )

( DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING )

Ratchet, has there been any change in their signals?

Negative. Holding steady one mile ahead.

Does this place seem weirdly empty to anyone else?

Yeah, looks like this steel mill

has been stripped of everything. And recently, too.

JAZZ: Not everything.

Someone left behind a Cybertronian tablet.

There's a list on it of items to be collected.

( TABLET BEEPS ) Our mission has taken on even more urgency, my friends.

It is clear the Advance Force intends to build a SpaceBridge Receiver.

But those maintain huge SpaceBridge Portals.

- Big enough for... - An entire invasion force

of ships and infantry to pass through.

( DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING )

( COMPUTER BEEPING )

I'm just sayin', Bee...

As we get close to Cybertron here, maybe we should reconsider.

The mission's gonna call for a lot of sneakiness...

and no one's sneakier than Steeljaw.

Out of the question! He's a felon!

So were my Mini-Cons and I. Grimlock, as well.

That's totally different!

Yeah! We're all so much handsomer than Steeljaw!

Okay, enough.

Steeljaw stays where he is. Later, we can...

( LOUD CRASH, EXPLOSION ) ( ALL GRUNT )

( ALARM BLARING ) ( METAL HISSES )

Ugh! What did we hit?

It's what hit us, sir!

We passed a Cybertronian satellite and its systems briefly deactivated our cloak!

( LOUD CRASH, RUMBLING ) ( ALL GRUNTING )

Ugh! ( THUDS )

( METAL HISSES )

( SUSPENSEFUL THEME PLAYING )

Drone defenses were alerted...

They're the ones attacking us!

Jam the drones' communications with Cybertron!

We don't want more company!

( LOUD CRASH ) Ugh...!

( GRUNTS )

- Ugh! - Man the weapons consoles!

( HISSES )

( TAPPING ) ( COMPUTER BEEPING )

Ah!

( LOUD CRASH)

( CRACKLING ) ( ALL GRUNTING )

( ELECTRICITY CONTINUES CRACKLING )

( AUTOBOTS MOANING )

( ALARM BEEPING )

Scrud...!

Double scrud...

( DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING )

( ENGINE HUMMING )

( BEEPING )

( LOUD CRASH ) ( GRUNTS )

( GROANS )

Fixit! Get to a weapons console! Our shields are failing!

Huh... Oh! Oh, yes, but...

I can't work a weapons console and pilot the ship simultaneously.

Ugh! We need another bot!

STEELJAW: You have one, you know.

Ugh. How did you get out?

Child's play. Let me help.

Lieutenant, if the ship is destroyed, I am destroyed too.

Do you think I want that?

( LOUD CRASH ) ( BOTH GRUNT )

Go!

( BEEPS )

( SUSPENSEFUL THEME PLAYING )

( COMPUTER BEEPING )

Well, Bumblebee,

I hope my performance puts to rest any fears

you may have about my intentions.

I could have easily crept up behind you when you were engaging the drones,

unfurled my claws, and...

( SNARLS )

Yeah, I'm not convinced.

Like you said, you could have just been acting out of self-preservation.

Aren't we all, Lieutenant?

Yeah...

( HANDCUFFS POWERING UP )

Huh?

( GRUNTS )

Ugh!

( GROANS )

( BUMBLEBEE GRUNTS ) ( ENERGY FIELD POWERS UP )

Sorry, Steeljaw.

Self-preservation. You understand.

( HAWK SCREECHES )

Now the decision to launch the invasion here makes sense.

With all the SpaceBridge activity in the region

since Bumblebee and his teammates started their mission,

millions of charged SpaceBridge particles remain in the air.

A SpaceBridge Receiver will harness those particles

to help power the giant portal the High Council needs to teleport

their army to Earth.

Optimus, I needed that!

Ratchet is that the source of the signal that brought us here?

( SIGNAL BEEPING )

The signals correspond...

It's a decoy...

and it's attached to something...

( SUSPENSEFUL THEME PLAYING )

( BEEPING CONTINUES )

( BEEPING INCREASES RAPIDLY )

Autobots! Roll...

Touchdown. One point five klicks from the High Council chambers.

At least Ratchet's cloaking system managed to let us land without being noticed.

All right, team, double-check your weapons and prepare to disembark.

STEELJAW: You'll never make it.

The High Council building's defenses incorporate subsonics.

That's why you need me.

I've been there and seen these defenses.

I can beat them.

I, too, have been to the Council's chambers...

and I circumvented the security systems to do it.

Yes, I know, before they sent me back to Earth,

the Council told me they'd experienced a recent breach...

They've upgraded their defenses.

We could chance that we might beat the defense systems,

but if we're wrong, we'll lose the element of surprise.

We have to bring Steeljaw.

He could be lying, sir!

There's no choice, Strongarm.

We're only gonna get one shot at this.

( ENGINES ROARING )

CYBERWARP: Your High Council knows what is best.

That's, like, the fifteenth security patrol we've seen!

Think they're looking for us?

DRIFT: Unlikely.

Frequent patrols are simply the norm now on Cybertron.

One klick to the Council building.

Can't get there without crossing the plaza.

Time to find out if we're recognizable or not.

CYBERWARP ( ON SCREEN ): Optimus' time has passed.

- The galaxy is ours to shape. - Sweet Solus Prime...

Your High Council knows what is best.

Optimus' time has passed.

The galaxy is ours to shape.

Are we sure this is Cybertron?

This is what all of you seem like to me.

Blindly following your leaders and never truly free.

We choose our leaders, Steeljaw. Just usually without

being mind-controlled into our choices.

Besides, if you ever get your "Decepticon Utopia,"

you'll be just another dictator.

You'd crush any opposition rather than step aside

if your people wanted you to.

No loitering, citizens.

A Dinobot?

I'm gonna run a facial recognition check.

Stay where you are!

( SCANNER BEEPING )

Uh-oh...

Stay calm. Don't break cover.

( BEEPING )

Enemies of Cybertron!

That's it! Autobots,

let's rev up and roll out!

( ENGINES ROARING )

( BRAKES SQUEAL, TIRES SCREECH )

CYBERWARP: Your High Council knows what is best.

Optimus' time has passed.

The galaxy is ours to shape.

SIDESWIPE: Gee... it's great to be home.

CYBERWARP: Your High Council knows what is best.
