<Starscream, Astrotrain, and Blitzwing
are carving out their faces (along with Megatron's) on a mountainside with
their laser guns.>
Starscream: Nice work Astrotrain.
Blitzwing:
But one head does not belong.
Starscream: Yes Blitzwing, one head has
failed to lead us to victory over the Autobots.
Astrotrain: But this
mistake will be corrected!
Blitzwing and Starscream: And
soon!
<All three shoot and destroy Megatron's
carving>
<Later, Blitzwing, Astrotrain, and Starscream are
flying>
Blitzwing: I will lure Megatron into our
trap!
Astrotrain: Why not let Starscream?
Blitzwing: Ha! He's been
trying to dethrone Megatron for years. He's a failure!
Starscream:
Failure! I have not failed, I have just been waiting for the right time that's
all. And the time is now! I will get Megatron! <Veers off in a different
direction>
Blitzwing: Well, fooling him was easy.
Astrotrain:
<laughing> No planet ever lost it's orbit underestimating the stupidity of
Starscream.
<In a sewer>
Megatron: A secret Autobot power
station...in a sewer?
Starscream: Straight ahead
Megatron.
Megatron: We'll need reinforcements.
Starscream:
<getting a little nervous> Reinforcements? But this is our mission
Megatron, we don't need to share the glory. Unless...unless Megatron is
afraid.
Megatron: <pushing aside Starscream> Rah! Megatron knows no
fear!
<Starscream smiles to himself as he follows his leader. Suddenly
they are shut in by two metal doors>
Megatron: You have failed again
Starscream! It's a trap!
<gas begins to fill the room>
And
this isn't energy, these are absolute zero degree molecules...<Megatron
freezes>
Starscream: I know what they are Megatron, and a Decepticon
who plans his escape, is hardly a failure. <he laughs as he tries to open the
escape door. It won't budge and a worried look comes over his face as he
freezes>
<In another part of the sewer>
Astrotrain:
<referring to the room Starscream and Megatron are in> Whoa, 470 degrees
below zero in there. <He and Blitzwing laugh>
<A football
stadium, a coach blows the whistle several times>
Coach: Block that
pass, hit him, hit him! Lay him low!
<Blitzwing, in tank mode, comes
crashing through the side of the stadium>
Coach: Kill! Kill!
Kill!
Blitzwing: A battle simulation arena, an excellent base for
Blitzing Headquarters!
<A football player who has the football comes
running up to Blitzwing and stops in surprise>
Football player:
Huh?
<Blitzwing aims his tank gun at the football
player.>
Football player: Coach, it's a tank! What do I
do?
Coach: Give him the ball!
<Football player throws the ball
into Blitzwing's gun barrel. Blitzwing fires it. It hits the
scoreboard.>
Blitzwing: I win! <Goes over to coach and picks him
up> You the commander in charge?
Coach: I'm...the
coach!
Blitzwing: No one fools Blitzwing. You are a great military
strategist. You will be my second in command!
Coach: Sorry, I've
got a contract.
Blitzwing: Contracts, like traitors, are made to be
broken.
Coach: Okay, okay, commander!
<A railway station.
Astrotrain lands and transforms into his train mode on a
track.>
Control room person: Huh? Track 9 shows an unscheduled
train. <Looks out the window> And there's no
engineer!
<Astrotrain transforms into his robot
mode>
Astrotrain: I declare this to be Astrotrain
Headquarters!
Control room person: That's it! I'm retiring!
Now!
<runs into next room full of waiting, to be
passengers>
Run! Help! Run for your lives!
<Astrotrain
breaks through the wall, causing panic among the people. They quickly run out of
the room>
Astrotrain: So who needs you spineless plasm-heads
anyway?
<He goes back out to the rail yard and looks over the
trains>
Astrotrain: This are my troops, but even soldiers need brains.
Astrotrain can fix that. Soon you'll have the latest in computer
controls. <He tears out a computer from the control
room.>
<Back at the stadium. Blitzwing stomps into the locker room,
destroying a wall to get in. He has the coach with him, hanging by the whistle
cord.>
Blitzwing: This is your new office. Now give me some military
advice!
Coach: You don't understand Mac, I only know football
plays.
Blitzwing: Tell me what's on your mind or I'll splatter it on the
wall and see for myself!
Coach: Defense! Zone defense!
Blitzwing:
Hmm, zone defense. <throws the coach into a locker.> You stay here at your
desk. Blitzwing will return!
<About a mile out of the stadium, a large
maze is being built by the Constructicons>
Scrapper: <at the maze
talking into a radio> Scrapper calling Blitzwing, what is the purpose of this
highway maze you ordered us to build?
Blitzwing: <in the stadium>
It's a zone defense, you ignorant fool! Now get to work, or you won't get your
share of the partnership I promised you! <to himself, but aloud at the
coach> I need more strategy!
Coach: Ehh....uuhhh, the long
bomb?!
Blitzwing: Thank you. <Transforms into his tank mode and laughs
as he drives off. He shoots a long bomb which hits a bridge. A human
immediately falls in while driving. Autobot Grapple saves
him.>
Blitzwing: Five points, at least! <Shoots the scoreboard.>
I must thank my adviser for such great strategy. With the assault of my long
bombs, I'll totally level this city in no time!
<Heading towards the
stadium are Prowl, Tracks, Skids and Blue Streak as Blitzwing continues to
fire.>
Prowl: Prime says the bombs are coming from inside the
stadium.
Skids: We'll stop them at the ten yard line!
Scrapper:
Autobots approaching. <He raises his gun> Assume attack
position.
Blitzwing: <on radio> No Scrapper, let 'em through, let
all the Autobots through! I want to take them on personally! <Scrapper obeys
and jumps into the bushes.>
<Prowl and the other Autobots are
quickly lost in the 'zone defense' the Constructicons have built. Blitzwing
transforms from his jet mode to tank mode and devastates the four enemies.
Blitzwing goes back to the stadium.>
Blitzwing: Autobots, worth 10
points each! <shoots the scoreboard four times>
<At the train
station, the trains that now have computer brains, fall in at Astrotrain's
command.>
Astrotrain: <Raising his left hand> Now repeat after
me: We, the soldiers of the Astrotrain Empire will obey Astrotrain and scavenge
the energy for his empire.
<The trains blare in response. Astrotrain
transforms into his train mode and the trains follow him into a tunnel.
One train hits an electrical wire and continues to keep hitting
it.>
Astrotrain: No, collect and process the energy! In your
cars!
<Astrotrain sees a leaky oil pipe>
Astrotrain: Pull
your transport cars up to the pipe and fill them with the
oil!
<Another train hits a gas pipe>
Astrotrain: Good! Now,
harness the gas!
<The trains collide>
Astrotrain:
<sighs> It's hard to find good help these days.
<In the zone
defense>
?: Scrapper, how big is our zone defense?
Scrapper:
<working on the throne made out of Autobots> I don't know, all the others
are lost in it. All I know is it's BIG. And wait'll you see the new throne I
built. It's really special.
<Powerglide flies above the zone defense
at that moment>
Powerglide: Smokescreen, Hoist, come in! I've located
the missing Autobots!
<Hoist and Smokescreen arrive at the maze and
with the help of Powerglide's directions, make their way through it
safely.>
Powerglide:Turn right! Another left! And dead ahead! Begin
camouflage!
<Smokescreen, true to his name, revs around Scrapper,
sitting on the throne, and causes a massive smokescreen, making his enemy cough
and gag. Meanwhile, Smokescreen and Hoist rescue the other
Autobots.>
Scrapper: Intruders, Autobots, help!
Blitzwing: More
points for Blitzwing! <transforms into his tank mode> I'll find you
Autobots, just watch out!
<At the railroad yard>
Thrust: Hey
Astrotrain, how's your job working on the railroad?
Astrotrain: Show some
respect from your leader!
Thundercracker: Leader? How do you figure that,
Choo-choo brain?
Astrotrain: I've got the proof right
here.
Thrust: Where are your so-called troops?
Astrotrain:
Astroforce, fall in!
<Nothing comes out of the
tunnel>
Astroforce! Come out and show your cargo!
<they all
go back into the tunnel to find the trains piled atop one
another>
Astrotrain: C'mon guys!
Thrust: Astrotrain couldn't
lead rats to a garbage can! <the jets laugh>
Astrotrain: C'mon
start your engines! Start your engines!
<One of the trains moves a
little>
Astrotrain: Good, good! C'mon! <The trains start to really
move now> Rev up, rev up! Collect the energon cubes, show them what your made
of! <The train start off again> That's it! Faster! Faster you can do it!
That's it! Yes! <The train starts towards a wall> Wait! No! Put on your
brakes! No, STOP! That's a- <train hits a pipe> -water
main.
<Enormous amounts of water shoot forth and sweep everything out
of the tunnel. In the sewer, Starscream and Megatron are "defrosted" and swept
away by the water also.>
Megatron: <trying to choke
Starscream>You led me into this trap!
Starscream: I was tricked. The
Triple Changers, they told me it was a power station!
<Megatron blasts
a hole through the ground and flies out onto the road.
Megatron:
<stepping on Starscream's hand holding onto the edge of the newly made
pothole> You are either lying or you're stupid!
Starscream: I'm
stupid, I'm stupid!
<They start to fly over the city. Ironhide,
Optimus Prime, and Spike are watching from the ground>
Spike: Megatron
and Starscream! They're back!
Optimus: And so is
trouble.
Ironhide: Ya see Prime, we should have finished those
Decepticons off when we had the chance!
Optimus: Maybe I can plug this
leak. <makes his way over to the water main and shoots it, only causing more
water to shoot out. Spike is swept away>
Optimus: Spike! <He
reaches out for him> Here grab my- <another wave sweeps Spike further
away>
Spike: Help me!
<Optimus begins to search the watery
city for him>
Optimus: Spike! Where are you? <No response. He sees
him under some heavy debris, semi-unconscious. Optimus pulls the debris away and
transforms into his trailer-truck mode, putting Spike in the cab. He starts his
air conditioner. Spike awakens.>
Optimus: How's that for
air-conditioning pal?
<Powerglide flies by and lets down his rope
ladder. Optimus transforms again and lifts Spike up to the
ladder>
Spike: <On ladder> Thanks
Optimus!
Powerglide: <flying by a flooded office building>
Hey Trailbreaker, all this water's beginning to dampen my
day.
Trailbreaker: Not to worry, my forcefield will steer it away.
<activates forcefield. Water level goes down>
Powerglide: Hey not
bad, we got our own river, too bad it's so polluted.
<Optimus and
Ironhide go to the water main>
Ironhide: A little supercooled nitrogen
oughtta patch it up. <shoots water main, stops the
water>
<Stadium>
<Blitzwing continues to give himself
points on the scoreboard, until the Contructions come through the wall and
destroy it>
Scrapper: Victory is ours!
Blitwing: What do you
mean 'ours'? You broke my scoreboard!
Scrapper: We built your maze! Now
you keep your part of the bargain!
Blitzwing: What
bargain?
Scrapper: You promised us a partnership in leading the
Decepticons.
Blitzwing: Tell you what guys, why don't you go build a
bridge? And jump off of it!!
Scrapper: Constructicons, transform into
Devastator!
<Devastator is formed>
Blitzwing: Hey, no
offense big guy!
<Train station>
Megatron: Is that you
Astrotrain?
<Optimus and Ironhide enter>
Optimus: I was just
about to ask you the same question Megatron.
Megatron: Prime! Out of my
way! <shoots at his foe>
Optimus: Don't waste your time Megatron.
Incinerating you is of no interest to me. I'm looking for the leaders of the
Decepticons.
Megatron: I am the Decepticon leader!
Optimus: You
and Starscream are just a nuisance. A couple of metallic
mosquitoes.
Megatron: Mosquitoes?! Then feel my bite! <fires at Prime.
Prime and Ironhide transform and leave>
Starscream: Prime must be on
overload, he-
Megatron: Shut up! The Triple Changers are my lunch, not
his!
<They transform and leave. They follow Prime and Ironhide, and
they are followed by Thundercracker, Thrust, and
Dirge>
Thundercracker: I say Megatron will prevail!
Thrust:
Three Energon cubes says you're wrong!
Thundercracker: Make it
four!
Dirge: My money is on Devastator.
<In another part of
town, Astrotrain floats by the roof where Trailbreaker is situated. Trailbreaker
picks him up out of the water with his magnetic force
beam>
Trailbreaker: Your friends are waiting for you.
<At
the stadium, Prime stops while the Decepticons go inside>
Prime:
<chuckling> I never get involved in domestic squabbles.
Ironhide: I
think we'll need a program to follow the players.
Devastator:
<fighting with Blitzwing> Once we hear victory music-
<Half of
the stadium wall is destroyed by the massive water overflow then, and Astrotrain
comes floating in>
Blitzwing: Hey partner.
Astrotrain:
<dazed> Huh?
Blitzwing: I could use a little help
buddy.
Astrotrain: Yeah, sure, right after I settle the score with you!
<shoots Blitzwing in the foot>
Devastator: You're next
Blitzwing.
<Megatron and Starscream come in>
Megatron: Get
this straight: I am Decepticon leader, you are recyclable!
Starscream:
Well put Megatron.
Devastator: Constructicons are leaders too. Blitzwing
promised. <Megatron fires on him> You try to hurt Devastator?! <He
starts towards Starscream>
Starscream: Megatron is a
wimp!
Devastator: So is Starscream.
Starscream: Yes, but I'm fast!
<Quickly transforms into his jet mode and flies off.>
Blitzwing:
We've got to ban together to stop Devastator!
Astrotrain: I'm with you
guys! <Blitzwing fires at him>
Blitzwing: No, you're not,
traitor!
Megatron: I see two traitors here! <Fires on both of them as
Devastator knocks Starscream out of the sky.>
Astrotrain: Megatron,
you're making a mistake.
Blitzwing: Starscream's the real
traitor.
Starscream: Don't listen to them Megatron!
Megatron: Why
not? Are they too close to the truth?
<Fire fight starts inside
stadium. Ironhide starts towards it. Prime stops him>
Prime: No
Ironhide, they're not shooting at us.
Ironhide: Oh sorry chief, I guess
I'm just aching to sink my teeth into some Decepticon hide.
<After the
firefight only Megatron is left standing>
Dirge: <flying above the
stadium> What? You'll mix their molecules with the
atmosphere.
Megatron: No, the Decepticon cause supersedes personal
vengeance, but never forget that I, Megatron, will always be leader of the
Decepticons.
<Every Decepticon flies off.>
Ironhide: I guess
Prime was right, Megatron took care of the Decepticons for us.
Prowl:
Yeah, but there's only one great leader in the universe. <the rescued
Autobots form the throne> Have a seat boss.
Prime: Thrones are for
Decepticons. Besides I'd
rather-<transforms>-roll.
