Oh, no.
Waspinator tired of this.
Oh, bomb its holes, see?
It's not a bomb, you bug.
Huh? It's a sonic emitter.
And when we've placed it correctly,
it'll blow a sweet little door
right in the bottom of the Maximals' base.
We have to widen the tunnel.
So widen.
I'm soiled enough already, just being around you two.
Hmph. You spiders can get your own homes.
Megatron said dig.
So start digging.
Oh.
I'm the brains of this group.
Not the brawn.
( gasps )
( bomb hums )
( laughing )
( roars )
Tangler guns target intruders with plastine coils.
( groans )
That gives the stun guns and Cybertron fields
time to set up for the knockout punch.
( laughs )
Beastobot. Old Sentinel here takes him down.
You said, "make the base impregnable."
( laughs )
Well done.
How long before Sentinel's fully operational?
Hm, three or four mega-cycles, depending on-- What?
( alarm beeping )
Hey, big bot, there's a Predacon making a scene in Sector 19.
Looks like Waspinator.
( buttons beep )
That's the third Predacon we've spotted in that sector
in the last three days.
Hm.
Cheetor, contact Tigatron.
Have him meet me at coordinates 4-5-8.
( ominous theme playing )
( muttering )
No, Waspinator's sick of taking orders.
Waspinator is greatest of Predacons.
Waspinator rules.
( chuckling )
( growls )
( twigs snap ) Hm?
Not many can creep up on me like that.
Well, you can learn a lot from Rattrap.
If you can stand him.
( muttering ): Stupid Megatron.
Looks like Waspinator's been on a sugar binge.
Hm.
So how long has he been doing that?
Long enough to make my head spin.
Shall I bring him down?
No, let me shake him up a little, see where he runs.
You follow on the ground in case I lose him.
Hm.
Optimus Primal, maximize.
Oh, one day, Megatron see
Waspinator is true leader of Predacons. Then--
( groans )
( buzzing )
What?
Optimus Primal.
( dramatic theme playing )
( panting )
( snorts )
Tanglers, stun guns.
Oof!
What sort of defense grid is this?
What's gumming your gears?
Those toys won't stop Predacons in battle mode.
Lethal threats demand lethal response.
Oh, yeah?
Well, respond to this, chopper face.
( beeping )
( growls )
( gasps )
( grunts )
( groans )
( laughs )
The tanglers worked pretty good on old Dino-butt, heh.
Maybe Preds aren't as lethal as they think?
( roaring )
Uh-oh. Incoming.
( screams )
( gasps )
SENTINEL: Warning. Invader alert.
Sentinel online. Acquiring targets.
Show's over, Rhinox. Shut it down.
How? The console's junk, thanks to you and Dinobot.
( groaning )
Hey, what's going on?
Sentinel thinks we're intruders.
We've got to get out of here!
Help Dinobot!
Whoa, what about the friend-or-foe program?
That's what I was installing when you pulled this stunt!
Uh, ahem, oops.
SENTINEL: Defense grid armed and ready.
Let's move.
( pants )
Rattrap, what are you doing?
We can't abandon the base.
And since I turned this thing on,
I'm the one who's gotta turn it off.
Oh, man. I'm starting to sound like Optimus Pinhead.
Rattrap!
( grunts )
( dramatic theme playing )
Waspinator must warn others.
( gasps )
( yells )
( grunts )
Optimus.
( yells )
( sighs )
Ah, no place to hide.
So where is he?
( groans )
Warning. Energon surge.
( panting )
Did you see him?
No. But I can still smell him.
He's here somewhere.
( growls softly )
( beeping ) SENTINEL: Maximal alert.
Intruders have infiltrated base.
Sentinel now at Level 1.
Sentinel?
Who is Sentinel?
Our new defense grid. But it-- It shouldn't be online yet.
It might be wise for you to return.
I'll hunt down Waspinator.
Yes. Something's going on in this sector,
and I wanna know what it is.
I'll send backup as soon as I can.
I need no help hunting Predacons.
And I prefer to prowl alone.
Field divers at 15 percent.
Suggest transformation back to beast mode.
( sighs )
I have to risk it.
Jets online, maximum burn.
( dramatic rock theme playing )
SENTINEL: Unauthorized personnel detected.
( alarm beeping )
Perimeter shield activated.
Gigabomber! Sentinel's locked us out.
Rattrap, come in.
Rattrap, do you read me?
Slag. The shield's jamming our comm links.
Apparently, you've built a better mousetrap.
( ominous theme playing )
( beeps )
( scoffing )
Zero friction forward, heh!
Come on, Rhinox.
That stuff is strictly for amateurs.
( upbeat theme playing )
( clattering ) ( gasps)
( barrier hums )
( grunts )
Now this ain't a security grid. It's a gym.
Just for spy guys like me.
( chuckles )
( gunshots ) ( gasps )
One and two and stretch.
Now bend, now lift. Feel the burn.
( laughing ): Yeah.
( sniffs )
The trail leads here.
( sniffs )
But something's not right.
Ha!
( sighs )
( machine humming )
A hollow projector, hm? Clever.
( growling )
Well, we can't blast our way through it.
( groaning )
Oh, no. The energon fields
are starting to mess with our circuits.
Transform to beast mode.
What's going on, Rhinox?
I got a message from Sentinel about intruders in the base.
It's talking about Rattrap. He's trapped inside.
And if we don't figure a way to deactivate Sentinel soon,
he's toast.
( dramatic theme playing )
( grunting )
SENTINEL: Intruder.
You are required to stand down.
Hey! Whoa! Ugh.
Cryofields and disruptive bolts!
( grunts )
Keep it up, Sentinel. You don't have a chance.
'Cause I'm a stealth fighter, a master marksman, and
a demolition expert.
Hm.
SENTINEL: Resistance persists.
Upgrading program.
Oh, man. There won't be enough left of me to fill a teaspoon.
( gasps )
No! Ah!
( grunts )
( grunts )
Oof!
Now, I have to get to the core
and show this hunk of junk what it means to mess with me.
No, Waspinator says we must deal with Optimus first.
Tigatron, maximize, stealth mode.
( Predacons chattering indistinctively )
WASPINATOR: is greatest of Predacons.
Huh?
TERRORSAUR: Optimus will never find us here.
BLACKARACHNIA: And even if he does, he'll be too late.
The emitter is ready.
In 15 cycles, we'll be inside the Maximal base.
( snarling )
The only place you three are going is the slag heap.
Ooh!
( grunting )
Ugh! He's stolen my invention!
Predacons, terrorize!
Where did he go?
Right here, Predacon.
( whines )
( screeches )
You can't win, cat.
The emitter will explode and take you with it.
In that case, allow me to return it.
No!
Let's get out of here!
( dramatic rock theme playing )
( grunts )
Jumping gyros, what was that?
Let's find out. Battle mode.
( dramatic rock theme playing )
( grunting )
Tigatron? Uh, what is this?
It's a long and very ugly story.
I wanna hear it.
Soon as we deal with our other problem.
Problem?
( grunts )
SENTINEL: Unauthorized access to computer core.
( grunts )
( panting )
( screaming )
Ugh!
( grunts )
( screams )
( grunts )
( grunting )
Cool your circuits, kid.
It's just the exterminator,
here to blow a few bugs out of your system.
And the four identification codes.
( sighing )
Where did Rhinox put them?
Yes!
Uh-oh.
SENTINEL: Shatter field online.
( grunts )
( screams )
SENTINEL: Target locked.
Preparing to terminate.
Ooh, come on.
Hey, the shield went down.
No.
What is it, Rhinox?
Sentinel wouldn't drop the shield
if an intruder was still active.
Rattrap gone? No way.
No, I don't believe it.
He was a difficult Maximal to deal with.
At times impossible.
But I'll remember him with honor.
I won't disgrace his memory with lies.
He was a stinking, omnivorous pestilence.
Still in some perverse way, I will miss him.
Sure, he smelled bad. He was a rat.
But he was my best friend.
Huh?
Oh, boo. Boo-hoo.
Oh, don't stop now.
You motorheads are killing me.
Rattrap? How did you--?
--avoid getting scrapped?
Well, it was no oil bath, but, uh, let's face it,
ain't a defense system made that I can't get around.
Right, Sentinel?
SENTINEL ( beeps ): Acknowledged.
Eh, you just gotta know how to talk to him.
