Beast Wars
NARRATOR: Last time, on Beast Wars:
Destroy them.
RHINOX: We're going down.
OPTIMUS: Our robot forms will start to short out
after a few minutes' exposure.
These beast forms are to protect us
from the long-term effects of the energon fields out there.
MEGATRON: Only the Maximals could give us trouble now.
Find them.
Back to the base. Let's go!
I have left the Predacons to join your group,
as leader.
( tense theme playing )
( growling ): Face me, Optimus.
I, Dinobot, challenge you for leadership of the Maximals.
You and I, one-on-one.
The winner shall be leader and, for the loser,
well, it is a long way down.
I don't want to fight you.
You do not have a choice.
Your command center is back there,
and no one crosses this bridge until you face me.
Don't we get a say in this?
Let chopper face and the boss monkey duke it.
No fur off of my tail.
No way. Hey, scale belly!
How's about you try a piece of the bad kitty, huh?
Cool your circuits, Cheetor.
I wouldn't send anyone
to do anything I wasn't willing to do myself.
Oh, yeah, right. Now he says that.
Agh! This is foolish, Dinobot.
We're Maximals. You are a Predacon.
All the more reason I should lead, then.
Look,
I don't know what happened between you and Megatron--
Megatron! Megatron will fall
as soon as I have your Maximals at my command.
You are welcome to join us, but you shall not lead.
I beg to differ.
For, in anticipation of my new role as leader,
I have already reprogrammed my activation code.
Dinobot, maximize!
( roars )
Optimus Primal, maximize!
( roars )
( dramatic theme playing )
I'm going in there! Cheetor, maxi--
Clamp it, kitty.
Nailing the chopper from behind won't settle anything.
Yeah. Like it or not, we gotta let 'em finish.
( dramatic rock theme playing )
( Dinobot grunts )
( growling )
( grunts )
( circuits buzzing )
Ah. I still live.
Finish it.
That's not how we Maximals do things.
Then that will have to change.
( yells )
( dramatic rock theme playing )
( groans )
What are you doing? You'd won.
You slipped.
To defeat you in such a manner would be lacking in honor.
I would not have earned the right to lead.
I prefer to beat my opponents the old-fashioned way.
Brutally!
( dramatic rock theme playing )
For a Predacon, Dinobot, you have qualities I could like.
And you, unh, have proved to be a worthy adversary.
I will have you recycled with full honors.
Well, that's just prime.
Well, this is an interesting sight.
Yes. Optimus and the traitor Dinobot engaged in battle.
Who do you think's gonna win?
Ooh, Waspinator bet on Optimus.
( chuckles )
The winner isn't what interests me
Nor me. No.
How much more preferable it would be
if they both lost? Yes.
Megatron, terrorize!
( roars )
Terrorsaur, terrorize!
( screeches )
Tarantulas, terrorize!
( laughing )
Waspinator, terrorize!
( buzzing )
Scorponok, terrorize!
( roars )
Yo! Shift your scanners due east there, pals.
This party has got bigtime crashers.
Fire.
( dramatic theme playing )
Optimus!
Beast mode!
( roars )
Optimus!
If you guys aren't doing anything
a little speed would be prime.
Make them fall. Yes.
Let's go. Cheetor, maximize!
( snarling )
Rhinox, maximize!
( roars )
Hey, you go and get yourselves scrapped, because I ain't--
Oh! Aah!
All right. All right.
( groaning ): The energon fields.
I am shorting out.
Unh! Hang on! You can't transform in this position.
Release me. Let me fall. And save yourself.
Unh! Now where's the honor in that?
( grunting )
You have no choice.
Then we both go. Aah!
( grunts )
RHINOX: Going up?
( groans )
This is our opportunity. Yes.
All weapons.
( dramatic rock theme playing )
( grunts )
Oh, phew!
You're welcome.
You're the leader. It's your, uh, job.
( roars )
Incompetence. You let them escape.
Megatron, look up there. The missiles!
MEGATRON: Energon.
Yes. Raw, natural energon crystal.
I knew it was here.
( circuits buzzing )
Unh! Quickly, return to beast mode.
( mysterious theme playing )
Raw energon.
In its natural form, it's highly unstable.
We're lucky those missiles didn't cause it to explode.
If you can call it lucky.
Megatron's on the move.
Bearing six-one-seven-five.
He's after the energon.
A crystal that size would make him unstoppable.
Oh, well, thanks a lot for the hot tip, scale belly.
Rhinox, scrap this gang.
Hold on, Rhinox.
Will he send fliers?
Oh, for booting up cold,
you're not gonna believe a Predacon, are you?
That's my call.
Will he?
Hm. Negative.
The crystal is too big for the fliers to carry.
Only Tarantulas has the skill to segment it.
Then we have to get there first.
All five of us.
Yeah, heh-heh, all five of us.
You mean, chopper face is going with?
We're all gonna die.
Hey! Wait for me!
( dramatic rock theme playing )
So much energon.
With a crystal that size,
the Predacon forces will be unstoppable.
Yes. The Maximals,
and then the galaxy, will be ours to conquer.
( dramatic rock theme playing )
( suspenseful theme playing )
How're you feeling?
Improved.
I believe my internal repairs have been completed.
Hm. I was wondering.
Your flying robot form could make it to the crystal
before any of us.
No. We have to stay together.
The Predacons could attack at any moment.
And there may be other surprises on this planet.
There are. Down there. Look.
( suspenseful theme playing )
Hm. Unusual. Any opinions?
Just one. It isn't natural.
We didn't build it and neither did the Predacons.
( Cheetor growling )
Heads up!
( buzzing )
Waspinator, terrorize!
Terrorsaur, terrorize!
( screeches )
( roars )
( roars )
Defensive positions.
Yeah, what about him?
He's with us.
Yeah, yeah, I ain't buying it just because you say so.
( dramatic rock theme playing )
Hold your fire. We could start an avalanche.
You crossed your wires? They're coming back.
( dramatic rock theme plays )
I'll handle this.
( beeps )
( screeching )
( both yell )
Now! When they are weak.
( dramatic theme playing )
( grunting )
I knew it, you traitor. You tried to scrap my pal.
( growls )
Once a Pred, always a Pred.
Ease off, Rattrap.
It was an accident.
Says you.
That's right. Says me.
You wanna question my orders one more time?
I--
( sighs )
Yeah, I don't trust Predacons.
We've got enough trouble with Megatron's crew
without fighting amongst ourselves.
Now come on!
So much energon.
Yes. I can almost taste its power.
The energon fields would destroy us as robots
in less than a minute.
We will have to stay in beast form.
And Optimus and the Maximals are coming.
They must stay in beast form as well.
And I will handle Optimus personally.
( suspenseful theme playing )
( energon crystals chiming )
( roars )
Across the galaxy, it has come to this, Optimus Primal.
Face to face, tooth to claw. Yes.
Have you anything to say?
I'd say that's prime. Let's do it!
( roars )
( dramatic rock theme playing )
( Megatron growls )
( roaring )
( grunts )
( groans )
( snarling )
( growling )
( yelling )
( growling )
( grunts )
( grunts )
( roars )
Admit defeat, Maximal. The energon shall be ours.
Not if I can help it.
( grunting )
Surrender, Megatron. You're trapped.
No! You shall not defeat me.
( growling )
( grunts )
( grunts )
( screams )
( roaring )
( groans )
( Megatron yelling )
( groans )
It is over, Megatron!
It is never over. No.
For if I must die, I shall take you with me.
( suspenseful theme playing )
( energon crystals chiming)
( mountain rumbling )
It's gonna blow.
Time to fade, heroes.
( suspenseful theme playing )
( chiming intensifies )
( yells )
Thanks.
My action did not imply loyalty, Optimus.
I owed you my life. Now we are merely even.
I'll accept that.
Yeah, well, uh, at least Megatron's gone,
and so is the energon.
So it's over.
Can we go home now?
No, Rattrap.
For now we're stranded here with the Predacons
on this unknown planet.
Megatron may be back, and there is still more energon.
If they ever get enough, they could conquer the galaxy.
So for now, let the battle be here,
on this strange, primitive world.
And let it be called Beast Wars!
