Tangled Web
"BEAST WARS"!
[ ROARS ]
AH, MY HAPPY LITTLE BAND.
EAGER TO BEGIN ANOTHER GLORIOUS PREDACON DAY, ARE WE?
SO, WHY HAVE YOU CALLED ME HERE, MEGATRON?
I AM ENGAGED IN IMPORTANT RESEARCH
ON OUR NEW TRANSMETAL FORMS.
YES, I HAVE NO DOUBT YOU ARE.
HUH? UGH, UGH.
BUT I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT DUTIES FOR YOU.
I'VE DETECTED A LARGE STORE OF ENERGON CUBES IN GRID ARAKIS.
YOU WILL BUILD A REFUELING STATION THERE.
BLACKARACHNIA AND QUICKSTRIKE WILL ASSIST YOU.
DON'T TRUST TALL, DARK, AND CREEPY
TO HANDLE THINGS HIMSELF, HUH?
IF I GET THE CHANCE TO KICK ME SOME MAXIMAL BUTT ALONG THE WAY, WHO CARES?
AND HOW MAY I SERVE YOU, ROYALTY?
OH.
YES, WHAT WASPINATOR DO?
YOU TWO WILL CONSTRUCT A JAMMING TOWER AT THESE COORDINATES,
DISRUPTING MAXIMAL COMMUNICATIONS.
AND WHAT PRECISELY ARE YOU DOING?
PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE.
NOW, GO!
ON OUR WAY, BOSS-BOT.
AS YOU COMMAND, MY QUEEN.
OH, I DO WISH HE'D STOP CALLING ME THAT.
SO, MEGATRON MEANS TO PERSIST IN HIS MADNESS?
[ LAUGHING EVILLY ]
[ WHIMPERS ]
[ MUTTERING ]
I CANNOT BELIEVE MEGATRON
EXPECTS ME TO CARRY OUT SUCH A MENIAL TASK.
OH, STOP GRIPING AND START LIFTING.
NOW, I'VE DIVIDED THE LOAD INTO EQUAL SHARES FOR TRANSPORT.
[ GRUNTING ] WHAT IN THE
OH, I'M SURE A BIG, STRONG BOT LIKE YOU
COULD CARRY MORE THAN ANYONE, HMM?
[ CHUCKLES ] YEAH.
THINK SO, HUH?
WELL, SUGAR-BOT, NO STRONGER PRED IN TOWN.
WHAT SAY YOU JUST PILE IT ON HEAVY-LIKE?
WELL, IF YOU INSIST.
[ Groaning ] OH.
OHHH.
WHILE SPIDER-BOTS ARGUE,
WASPINATOR AND INFERNO FINISH JOB.
MEGATRON WILL BE PLEASED.
[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
AND WE DO LIVE TO PLEASE MEGATRON.
[ CHUCKLES ]
HMM, BUT PERHAPS THE MAXIMALS CAN THROW A LITTLE HITCH
INTO MEGATRON'S PLANS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
WELL, THEN, PARTNER, LET'S HEAD 'EM UP AND MOVE 'EM OUT.
ANY PROGRESS, RHINOX?
DESPITE MY TESTS, WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT LIMITS
THESE NEW TRANSMETAL STATES MAY HAVE.
PERHAPS THIS NEW BIOGEN SCAN WILL --
Both: AAH!
OR PERHAPS NOT.
HATE TO INTERRUPT YOUR FUN, BIG-BOT,
BUT I'M PICKING UP A WEIRD SIGNAL.
IT'S A PRED CODE, BUT IT'S ON A MAXIMAL FREQUENCY.
LOCATION?
I CAN'T GET A FIX.
IT KEEPSMOVING.
WHO'S CLOSEST?
RATTRAP, SILVERBOLT, YOU GUYS BUSY?
UH, YEAH, SKYCAT.
I'M GETTING MY SPANKING-NEW ARMOR POLISHED.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
WE'RE PICKING UP A PRED SIGNAL ON VECTOR 847.
OPTIMUS SAYS, "TRACK AND IDENTIFY."
WE WILL GET ON IT IMMEDIATELY, CHEETOR.
SOUNDS LIKE JUST ANOTHER WILD PRED CHASE TO ME.
PERHAPS SO, BUT OUR LEADER
HAS CHARGED US TO LEARN THE TRUTH, MY FRIEND.
AND SILVERBOLT, FOR ONE, SHALL PROVE WORTHY OF HIS TRUST.
MAN, I JUST HATE IT WHEN HE DOES THAT.
[ ENGINE REVS ]
HOW YOU HOLDING UP THERE, WIDDER-GAL?
UH, OH, WELL, I -- I'M MANAGING, THANK YOU, QUICKSTRIKE.
[ Chuckling ] YEAH, WELL,
THAT LOAD BECOMES TOO MUCH FOR YOU, SUGAR-BOT,
YOU JUST LET ME KNOW, HEAR?
ALL RIGHT, SWEETIE.
[ Chuckling ] YEAH.
[ Thinking ] WHAT A GULLIBLE FOOL HE IS.
[ GASPS, GROANS ]
TARANTULAS!
FORGOTTEN OUR MENTAL CYBERLINK, SHE-SPIDER?
WELL, I HAVEN'T.
UH, WHAT DO YOU WANT, QUASAR BRAIN?
JUST TO GIVE YOU A QUICK REMINDER.
PLAY WHATEVER GAMES YOU WISH WITH HIM
UGH.
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
BUT DARE TO CROSS ME, AND YOU WILL SUFFER FOR YOUR TREACHERY.
UGH, UGH, UGH!
-[ LAUGHS EVILLY ] -SUGAR-BOT!
HEY, NOW, I TOLD YOU TO LET ME HELP YOU WITH THAT.
OH, BACK OFF, ROBO-RUBE!
HUH?
THERE JUST AIN'T NO FIGURING A FEMALE.
[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
A FACT OF LIFE, FUZOR.
[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
LAUGH WHILE YOU CAN, GROUND CRAWLER.
I'LL FREE MYSELF FROM YOUR CONTROL, AND THEN YOU'LL PAY.
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
THIS HERE'S THE RIGHT SPOT, ALL RIGHT.
WELL, ONCE WE'RE DUG IN HERE, LITTLE LADY,
AIN'T NOTHING GONNA BOTHER US.
HMM.
YES. OOH.
[ CHUCKLING EVILLY ]
MEGATRON CHOSE WISELY.
I WON'T BE NEEDING THE MAXIMALS AFTER ALL.
[ SENSOR BEEPING ]
THIS AREA IS INDEED A PERFECT LOCATION
FOR MY NEW LAIR.
[ LAUGHING EVILLY ]
[ ENGINE REVVING ]
HEY! WHERE'D IT GO?
AND WE LOST THE SIGNAL.
SO, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?
FOLLOW OUR NOSES, OF COURSE.
WELL, CONSIDERING THE HONKERS WE GOT, IT'S WORTH A SHOT.
[ SNIFFING ]
ONLY THING WRONG WITH TODAY, SO FAR,
I AIN'T HAD ME A CHANCE TO WHUP NOTHING.
YOU KNOW, PROPERLY DEFENDED,
THIS CAVERN WOULD MAKE AN ALMOST PERFECT FORTRESS.
YES, I SUPPOSE IT WOULD.
THIS MUCH ENERGON COULD SUSTAIN A FRUGAL PREDACON
FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT --
SOMETHING'S PERCOLATING IN THAT DEVIOUS BRAIN OF YOURS.
YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THIS PLACE.
IT WOULD MAKE A PERFECT NEW LAIR
FOR ALL OF US.
LOOK, I KNOW YOU'RE UPSE
ABOUT YOUR OLD LAIR BEING DESTROYED IN THE BIG BURN.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "ALL OF US"?
YOU, ME, AND PERHAPS THE FUZOR, AS WELL --
AN ARACHNID TRIO ALIGNED AGAINST MEGATRON AND MAXIMALS ALIKE.
[ CHUCKLES ] SIDE WITH YOU AGAINST MEGATRON?
[ LAUGHS ]
YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MIND, WEBS!
AND INSIDE YOURS, REMEMBER?
SO YOU REALLY HAVE NO CHOICE, NOW, DO YOU?
MAYBE.
HEY, I GOT TO DO ALL THE WORK AROUND HERE?
HMM, TELL ME, QUICKSTRIKE, HOW DO YOU FEEL TOWARD MEGATRON?
BOSS-BOT?
WELL, HE'S DONE OKAY LEADING US SO FAR.
IN FACT, MY ONLY COMPLAIN
IS NOT HAVING ENOUGH KEISTERS TO WHALE ON REGULAR-LIKE.
SIDE WITH ME AGAINST HIM, FUZOR,
AND YOU'LL HAVE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY
TO PROVE HOW TOUGH YOU ARE.
I WILL, HUH?
THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
DE-STRUCTION IS BETTER THAN CON-STRUCTION
IF YOU GET MY DRIFT. [ CHUCKLES ]
STILL, MEGATRON'S PRETTY TOUGH.
I SEE.
YOU FEAR HIM.
[ SCOFFS ]
THERE IS NOTHING THAT CRAWLS, WALKS, FLIES, OR SWIMS
THAT I'M AFRAID OF!
COUNT ME IN.
BUT IF YOU'RE LYING, SPIDER-BOT,
YOURS WILL BE THE FIRST KEISTER I DROPKICK!
NOW THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP ME.
[ LAUGHING EVILLY ]
[ SNIFFING ]
HAVE YOU FOUND SOMETHING, MY FRIEND?
HERE, TAKE A WHIFF.
[ SNIFFING ]
YEAH, THE SPIDERS AND QUICKSTRIKE, I THINK.
[ SNIFFING ]
THE SCENT IS FAINT.
[ SNIFFING ]
RATTRAP!
HERE!
HMM, THREE OF THEM, ALL RIGHT,
CARRYING HEAVY EQUIPMENT OF SOME KIND, I WOULD SAY.
YEAH, WITH MY LUCK, IT'LL BE A MEGABLASTER.
WELL, WHATEVER COMES, WE SHALL FACE IT.
LET US TRACK THEM DOWN.
AND I THOUGHT OPTIMUS' SPEECHES WERE BAD.
[ Sighing ] OH, BOY.
LAUGH WHILE YOU CAN, SPIDER BOY.
WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT,
THAT DATATRAX I DOWNLOADED WILL MEAN THE END OF --
SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND?
ME?
WHATEVER DO YOU MEAN?
DON'T PLAY COY WITH ME.
I'LL SCAN YOUR MIND FOR THE ANSWERS IF I HAVE --
AAH! AAH! AAH! AAH! AAH!
REMARKABLE!
A SECTION OF YOUR CIRCUITS HAS BEEN BLOCKED TO ME.
DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT.
OPEN YOUR MIND TO ME.
OPEN IT! NOW!
[ MOANING ]
AAAAH!
AAH. UGH.
UGH. UGH. UGH.
AAH! UGH.
UGH!
OF COURSE, YOU REALIZE THIS MEANS WAR.
OH, JOB ALL DONE, MEGATRON.
WASPINATOR AND FIREBUG BE BACK SOON.
YOU HAVE DONE WELL, INSECT, YES.
[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
I WONDER HOW THE OTHERS ARE FARING.
TARANTULAS?
COME IN.
TARANTULAS?
BLACKARACHNIA?
QUICKSTRIKE?
ANYONE?!
BLAST THOSE ARACHNIDS!
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW?
YOU CAN RUN, SHE-SPIDER, BUT YOU CAN NEVER HIDE.
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
-WHEN I GET MY CLAWS ON YOU, I'LL -- -[ LAUGHS ]
[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
AND JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?
I'M TIRED OF BEING YOUR SLAVE.
EITHER TERMINATE THE LINK BETWEEN US, OR I'LL CRACK THIS CUBE,
AND YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN.
YOU DON'T HAVE THE NERVE.
BESIDES, I CAN STOP YOU WITH A SINGLE THOUGHT.
MAYBE, BUT I'M BETTING THE ENERGON RADIATION
WILL INTERFERE WITH OUR LINK.
WILL IT?
LET'S FIND OUT.
UGH.
UGH. UGH.
I WARNED YOU!
AAAAAH!
UGH!
DEMON!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
UGH!
UGH.
ALL RIGHT.
STOP THIS INSANITY, SHE-SPIDER!
THROW THE CUBE AWAY!
NEVER!
I WILL BE FREE, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!
FINE THEN.
GO AHEAD AND DELETE YOURSELF FOR ALL I -- UGH!
NO, CYBERLINK WORKS
BOTH WAYS!
I SHARE YOUR PAIN!
THEN SEVER THE LINK, TARANTULAS!
SAVE US BOTH.
UGH! NO.
NO-O-O!
THEN WE GO OFFLINE TOGETHER!
AAAAH!
AAH!
CAN'T LETYOU WIN!
I CAN'T!
AAH!
AAAAAH!
ENOUGH!
AAH!
THE LINK IS BROKEN.
GET OUT OF MY MIND.
GET OUT!
UGH.
-OH, NO! -UGH.
UGH.
UGH!
I TOLD YOU
I'DBE FREE.
BUT YOU WON'T SURVIVE TO GLOAT ABOUT IT!
I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU APART, PIECE BY TREACHEROUS PIECE.
BETTER SAVE IT FOR LATER, BIG T.
WE GOT TROUBLE BREWING OUTSIDE --
TROUBLE WITH A CAPITAL "M."
[ Scornfully ] MAXIMALS!
FINALLY, SOMETHING I CAN SINK MY TEETH INTO!
QUICKSTRIKE, TERRORIZE!
COME ON, BOYS!
HERE IT COMES!
BE CAUTIOUS, MY FRIEND.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO HERE!
HAVE WE EVER?
[ LAUGHS ]
WELL, LOOK AT THAT.
WE GOT THEM NOW!
[ LAUGHS ] LET'S TAKE THESE TINHORNS DOWN!
[ MACHINE-GUN FIRE ]
OH, MAN, WHAT ARE THOSE MISFIRES UP TO THIS TIME?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
I ALSO HAVE NO INTENTION OF LETTING THEM SUCCEED.
THATABOY, FLY-BOT.
YOU TAKE OUT THE SPIDER.
I'LL HANDLE THE FUZOR.
AAH!
[ GASPS ]
[ GROWLS ]
HMM.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, FOOL?!
BLAST HER!
[ SIGHS ] NO, MY FRIEND.
IT IS NOT RIGHT TO STRIKE A FEMALE,
EVEN A FEMALE PREDACON.
THAT WIDOW'S ABOUT AS FEMALE AS A PISTON.
THAT'S MY SUGAR-BOT!
UGH.
BUT I HAVE NO SUCH COMPUNCTIONS
ABOUT DEALING WITH THIS LOWLIFE SCUM.
YEE-HAW!
YOU CLAIM TO BE THE TOUGHEST OF US ALL, SNAKE,
BUT YOU HAVE DONE LITTLE TO PROVE IT.
JEST KEEP JAWING, WOLFIE,
WHILE YOU STILL GOT YOURSELF A HEAD.
[ HOWLING ]
AI-YAW!
LOOK OUT, NOW!
I DON'T --
UH
OH, YES.
KEEP FIGHTING!
WE'VE GOT TO KEEP THE MAXIMALS AWAY FROM THE CAVERN
AT ALL COSTS.
YEAH? WELL, WE'RE HOLDING OUR OWN, ACE.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
HEH. THE CAVERN, HUH?
WONDER WHAT'S IN THERE?
WELL, LOOKEE!
PERHAPS WE SHOULD FIND OUT.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
WHAT KIND OF PREDACONS ARE YOU?
NO, YOU DON'T, TINHORNS.
AIN'T NOBODY GETTING INSIDE THERE EXCEPT -- UHH!
[ HOWLS ]
[ GROANS ]
WHAT HAPPENED?
THEY DESTROYED THE CAVERN.
BACK TO THE BASE!
NICE SHOT.
IT WAS NOT I WHO --
WELL, THEN WHO?
HEY, YOU -- YOU LUCKED OUT THIS TIME, TINHORN,
BUT ONE DAY, YOU AND ME ARE GONNA HAVE IT OUT FOR REAL.
[ SPITS ]
SUGAR-BOT!
I SUPPOSE YOU WANT TO CHASE THEM.
SUGAR-BOT!
WHY BOTHER, LITTLE MOUSE?
THE DAY IS WON.
THE BATTLE IS DONE.
WHAT SAY WE JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT?
YOU KNOW, BIRD-DOG,
THAT'S ABOUT THE FIRST THING YOU SAID TODAY THAT MAKES SENSE.
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?
INFERNO AND WASPINATOR COMPLETED THEIR TASK TWO MEGACYCLES AGO.
WE, UH, HAD A MITE OF TROUBLE, BOSS-BOT,
WITH THEM MISERABLE MAXIMALS, YOU KNOW.
THEY JUST ABOUT RUINED EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING?
THE ENERGON STATION?
A TOTAL LOSS.
THE ENERGON CUBES, AS WELL.
I'M AFRAID WE'LL JUST HAVE TO START OVER AGAIN SOMEWHERE ELSE.
OF ALL THE INCOMPETENT, IMBECILIC -- GET OUT!
GET OUT! GET OUT, ALL OF YOU!
GET OUT BEFORE I TURN YOU ALL TO SLAG!
AS YOU COMMAND, MEGATRON.
[ CHUCKLING EVILLY ]
AMAZING WHAT ONE WELL-PLACED CHARGE CAN DO, ISN'T IT?
BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE, THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
[ LAUGHING EVILLY ]
