Transformers: Earthspark (2022) s01e08 Episode Script

1
- [snarls]
- Give me the badge, Ravage.
[axe whooshes]
I've had enough of this.
[weapon pulses]
Plan on helping, Megatron?
- I have my own burden.
- [screeches]
Ah!
[electric guitar blares]
- Too loud for you?
Frenzy likes it loud.
- That one's on you.
- [laughs]
- Stop pulling your punches.
These Decepticons are criminals.
- These Decepticons simply
wish to live in peace.
- Which is why they
ambushed GHOST cadets
and stole their badges?
- A childish prank.
These Cassette Bots
wouldn't hurt a fly.
- You were saying?
- Cassette Bots,
Tri-Tone activate!
[pulsating tone blares]
- Ugh!
[pulsating tone blaring]
- Field report,
Twitch still hasn't fallen
for my amazing decoy.
Fluffy Ears remains cute.
- And a horrible
source of cover.
- Thrash!
Robbie needs you to
test his new bike ramp!
- Who has three
wheels and zero fear?
[engine rumbles]
This guy!
- No, remember the lesson!
It's a
- Decoy!
[electricity crackles]
- [grunts]
- Ah!
- Ha!
I totally decoyed you!
[humming melody]
Ah, hey!
- I decoyed you first.
- Nuh-uh!
- Yeah-huh!
- You saw me decoy you!
- Nuh-uh, ugh, please.
- I hit you with my wheel!
- [sighs] I miss adults.
[pulsating tone blaring]
- [screeches]
- [snarls]
Ha!
[growls]
- [grunts] Megatron,
use your cannon!
- It is not for swatting flies.
- [screeches]
- [snarls]
- [grunts]
- [hisses]
- Final warning, stand down.
[pulsating tone blaring]
- Remember, the key to decoys
is to draw the enemy's
eye away, then
boom, bang, ruin their day.
[laughter]
- Nice rhymes.
I think you just invented
a mission theme song.
- Draw the enemy's eye away ♪
[together] Then boom, bang ♪
Ruin their day ♪
[together] Draw the
enemy's eye away ♪
Then boom, bang,
ruin their day ♪
- Uh, I don't care
how you learn this,
so long as you learn it.
[phone rings]
- Optimus Prime has your number?
- Hi, Mr. Optimus.
Are you calling to wish
me a happy half-birthday?
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Okay, got it.
I'll let Bee know.
- So you're on Team Optimus now?
- He's in the middle of a fight,
and his comm doesn't
work, so he asked me
to tell you to send him backup.
- Finally, a chance to use our
training on a real mission.
- [laughs]
I was born to back
up the big guy!
- [laughs]
Oh, you're not joking.
Okay, look, in a real
fight, there's no do-overs.
You're not ready yet.
If Optimus needs help,
I want to make sure I send
him the best there is.
- Elita-1?
- Wheeljack is a solid choice.
- No, me! I'm
talking about me!
[engine rumbling]
- Arcee?
- [gasps]
It really is her!
- Arcee, what are you [gasps]
[chuckles] Arcee,
great to see
No, no, no, no!
[grunts]
- Wait, she's a good guy?
- [laughs] Miss me?
- Yeah, but you didn't miss me.
[chuckles] Ow.
- Just thought I'd check
in on my favorite Autobot.
- Twitch Malto, huge
fan of your work,
especially the humiliating stuff
you just did to our teacher.
- Meet Mo, Robby,
and the Terrans.
Arcee is, uh, gonna be your
substitute trainer for the day.
- Wait, what? Sure, I
could teach 'em plenty.
- What are we gonna learn first?
- Hand-to-hand combat?
- Trick shots?
- Or teach us your awesome
berserker battle rage?
- Oh, you're gonna love this.
[engine humming]
- [humming melody]
- [laughs] Well,
you excited yet?
- Yeah!
We're learning how
to fight the ground?
- Better! You're
digging trenches!
[grunts]
[both gasp]
[pulsating tone blares]
[both grunt[]
- Get back here,
you deranged pigeon!
[grunts]
[pulsating tone blares]
- [laughs]
[weapon pulses]
[metal creaks]
- [growls] [snarls]
- Bumblebee?
Why aren't you with the Terrans?
- You wanted help, I
wanted time with adults.
Win-win. Where's the fight?
- Ugh, get off my face!
Ugh!
- [laughs]
- You need me for Cassette Bots?
- I expected you to
send someone else.
If GHOST learns you're alive,
they'll have big
questions for me.
- I brought restraining bolts.
[bolt whirring]
[bolt whirrs]
- [sighs] You can stay for now.
- I will never touch
those things.
- A means to an end, Megatron,
safely transporting
our quarry to GHOST.
- Optimus, does
it not concern you
that our human allies control
where Decepticons live
and what form they take
even in times of
so-called peace?
This is not freedom.
- GHOST made a bargain
with us. That stands.
You do remember what it
means to give your word?
- [laughs]
You think GHOST has been
keeping their bargain?
- [metal clanking]
- Get away from him!
- He's just doing his job.
- These do not deserve a
lifetime of imprisonment!
- You forget your
oath, Megatron.
- I gave you my fealty
to save our people,
not to be GHOST's lackey.
- Lackey?
- Well, it's
getting pretty late.
We should probably hit the road.
[thrusters whooshing]
- Ha!
- Oh!
Uh, requesting trench
inspection, ma'am!
- Yep, you're done,
but you know what they
say about trenches.
The only thing better
than digging 'em
is fillin' 'em!
- I'll just get right up.
- What's the point of making
us undo what we just did?
- You'll thank me later.
Time to patrol the perimeter!
[cow moos]
Time to stack the hay!
Now clean and
polish that tractor.
[raccoon hisses]
- No.
- I'm sorry.
What did you say?
- No, we're not doing any
more of your pointless chores.
If you won't train us
as warriors, we quit.
- And you all feel this way?
- You seem different
in the comics.
- You're not
teaching us anything.
- Bumblebee might
not be perfect,
but he's a better
leader than you are!
Okay, might've gone too far.
- [laughs] Congratulations!
You pass! Took
you long enough.
- Hold up, you're
happy we complained?
- This world will
take advantage of you
any way it can.
If things don't feel
right, you gotta speak up.
- So this was a lesson? You
actually were teaching us?
- [chuckles] More than you know.
- There's still time to
show us your battle moves
before Bee gets back
from his mission.
- His what now?
- You know, the thing
Optimus called him for.
It's why you're our sub.
- We wanted to go with him,
but he said we weren't ready.
- Enough training.
Who's up for a real
Autobot mission?
- Nothing like the open road
after a hard day
at work, huh, guys?
- [sighs]
- [chuckles]
Like the other day
after training,
Thrash wanted to try
drag racing against me.
I mean, obviously I won
with my energon boost
- [crackling and whirring]
- My energon boost, but
he called that cheating!
I mean, can you believe
that? [chuckles]
Guess you had to be there.
[humming melody]

Then boom, bang,

- [sighs]
- We should part
ways soon, Bumblebee.
There's a GHOST checkpoint
a few miles ahead.
- [chuckles]
- Something funny
to you, Megatron?
- Just that you
cannot trust GHOS
with the knowledge
of your own scout,
yet you're content to deliver
every Decepticon you
encounter into their hands.
- Doesn't sound like he
actually thinks that's funny.
- Unlike you, Megatron,
I don't have the luxury
to throw a tantrum every
time things don't go my way.
- At least I do not
follow orders blindly
like a coward.
[high-pitched pulsing]
[electricity crackles]
- Yee-haw!
- Ah, yes!
- Hello, cruel world!
- Target acquired.
[metal feet clanking]
Soundwave, destroy!
- [humming melody]
Curse that annoyingly
catchy tune.
[high-pitched humming]
[both grunt]
[metal feet clanking]
- Soundwave?
- Attack Megatron.
[beams whooshing]
- Do not make this
personal, Soundwave!
- It already is.
[palms humming]
[blade rings]
- Autobot sympathizer.
- [grunts]
[weapon hums]
[energy weapon thundering]
[palms hum and pulsates]
[deep pulse]
- Still want to
give up teaching?
- Is part-time an option?
[engines rumbling]
[together] Hi, Bumblebee!
- No, no, no, no, no, no!
- [grunts]
- Ugh.
- My arm.
[energy weapon thundering]
[electricity crackles]
- [grunts]
- Thanks.
Wait, you left the
kids alone up there?
- With Optimus and Megatron.
- Megatron.
- Soundwave, surrender,
and I will see you
are well treated.
- [radio crackling]
[as Megatron] This
is not freedom.
- You dare use my
own words against me?
- [palm hums]
- Try us, beak breath!
[pulsating tone blaring]
- I didn't know
sound could hurt!
- We need to block it out!

- Draw the enemy's eye away ♪
Then boom, bang,

enemy's eye away ♪
Then boom, bang,

Draw the enemy's eye away ♪
Then boom, bang ♪
- Ruin their day ♪
Okay, that's a bop.
[beams whooshing]
- I just want to warn you,
I've watched hours
of pro wrestling.
[energy weapon thundering]
- [palm hums]
[palms whooshing]
[cannon hums]
- Traitor.
[cannon hums]
Autobot scum.
- Megatron is a better protector
of our kind than
you will ever be.
- We are more than
Autobots, Soundwave.
Would you like to see how
well I work with my new team?
[electricity crackles]
- No encore tonight.
- What even is a
cassette anyway?
- That was too easy.
I think you're losing
your touch, analog boy.
- [growls]
- That was easy?
- Will be once I
finish schooling you.
We'll do drills, sparring
- Uh, Arcee, you were
just a substitute.
I'm their teacher.
- Yeah, I think
they like me better.
- These are my students, my
responsibility, my mission.
I'm the one that
belongs at their side.
- Congratulations, you passed.
[laughter]
- It was good to work
together again, Bee.
- [sighs] Thanks, Optimus.
Guess I'd better be getting
back to my real assignment.
Those catchy battle songs
won't write themselves.
- Of course, but since
you abandoned your post,
no matter how
well-intentioned, I'll need you
to update Teletraan
I with a full report
of today's encounter.
- Ooh, not even I give homework.
Hey, race you on the rollout?
- [laughs] Whoo!
- Bye, Megatron!
- Bye, Mr. Optimus!
- Thank you for having
my back with Soundwave.
I said some things you might
not have appreciated today.
- I needed to hear them.
If you choose to
vouch for these cons,
I will look the other way.
[electricity crackles]
- Please let us go.
- You will only get
one second chance.
Do not throw it away.
- I owe you my miserable life.
- Perhaps your leadership style
is not so different from my own.
- Or maybe you're growing
to appreciate mine.
- We're free now.
You don't have to
follow him anymore.
- Decoy successful.
[palms hum]
- [growls softly]
- [laughs]
