Beast Wars: Transformers (1996) s02e12 Episode Script
The Agenda (Part 2)
"BEAST WARS"!
[ ROARS ]
LAST TIME ON "BEAST WARS"
THE TRANSWARP EXPLOSION WAVE FRON
SHOULD BE ENTERING CYBERTRONIAN SPACE NOW.
THEY'LL BE DETECTING IT WITHIN A FEW CYCLES.
THIS IS IT. WE'RE GOING HOME.
-[ LAUGHTER ] -WHOO-WHEE!
HOO-HOO!
-WE'RE GOING HOME! -[ SMOOCHES ]
TRIPREDACUS COUNCIL NOW IN SESSION.
THE TRANSWARP WAVE FRONT THAT DISRUPTED THE STATION
HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED.
SIGNATURE MATCHES THAT OF THE SHIP STOLEN BY MEGATRON.
WE HAVE TO HANDLE THE SITUATION FIRST,
BEFORE THE MAXIMALS FIND OUT.
I'VE ALREADY SENT A SIGNAL TO ONE OF OUR CYBERTRON SATELLITES.
IT WILL "ACCIDENTALLY" EXPLODE,
BLOCKING THE MAXIMALS' SENSORS
FROM DETECTING THE TRANSWARP WAVE.
AND I HAVE ARRANGED FOR A COVERT OPERATIVE.
HE'S BEEN GIVEN OUR SECRETLY DEVELOPED TRANSWARP CRUISER.
HE WILL TRACE THE TRANSWARP WAVE BACK TO ITS SOURCE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS, BIG BOT?
AFTER THE GREAT WAR,
A FEW DECEPTICONS WERE GRANTED AMNESTY.
RUMOR HAS IT THAT ONE WAS REPROGRAMMED AND REBUIL
AS A PREDACON.
COVERT AGENT RAVAGE AT YOUR SERVICE.
LET'S DO IT.
-AAAH! -AAAH!
[ GROANS ]
IN THE NAME OF THE PAX CYBERTRONIA
AND THE PREDACON ALLIANCE, YOU ARE UNDER ARREST.
[ LAUGHS ]
NO-O-O-O!
[ BEEPING ]
ENTER.
YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?
I DID.
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON,
BUT IT STOPS RIGHT NOW -- UNDERSTAND?
I'M NOT CERTAIN TO WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING.
I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU AND A CERTAIN FEMALE PREDACON.
OR AM I WRONG?
TELL ME I'M WRONG, AND I'LL APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW.
HMM?
WELL, THAT'S JUST PRIME.
SIR, I BELIEVE THAT I CAN BRING HER AROUND.
OH, DON'T BE AN IDIOT!
SHE MAY HAVE BEEN MADE FROM MAXIMAL PARTS,
BUT SHE IS PREDACON TO THE CORE.
AS WAS I ONCE!
YOU DIDN'T KNOW BETTER.
SILVERBOLT, YOU ARE ONE OF THE NOBLEST INDIVIDUALS
I HAVE EVER MET.
THAT IS YOUR STRENGTH. IT IS ALSO YOUR WEAKNESS.
BLACKARACHNIA IS USING YOU.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT, SIR.
WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT IS IMMATERIAL.
THE FACT IS, YOUR EMOTIONS HAVE JEOPARDIZED OUR SITUATION
FAR MORE THAN YOU REALIZE.
IF WE WEREN'T HOLDING MEGATRON
YOU'RE CONFINED TO QUARTERS.
I'LL SEND CHEETOR TO BRING IN THE SPIDER WOMAN.
SIR.
YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO SAY, SILVERBOLT?
SIR
UM, OPTIMUS, I BELIEVE THAT BLACKARACHNIA WILL NOT HURT ME,
BUT SHE WOULD HAVE NO SUCH COMPUNCTION ABOUT CHEETOR.
FOR HIS SAKE, IF NO OTHER, PLEASE, SEND ME INSTEAD.
I WILL BRING HER IN.
YOU'RE CONFINED TO QUARTERS, SILVERBOLT.
[ BEEPS ] CHEETOR, REPORT TO ME AT ONCE.
SO THE TRIPREDACUS COUNCIL STILL SMOOCHES THE SKID PLATES
OF THE MAXIMAL ELDERS.
IS IT ANY WONDER I REBELLED?
THE PREDACONS WILL HAVE THEIR MOMENT.
BUT YOU
[ CHUCKLES ]
I SERVED UNDER THE ORIGINAL MEGATRON.
YOU HAVE HIS NAME BUT NOT HIS ARMY.
HMM. PERHAPS.
BUT WHAT DOES IT MATTER
IF YOUR SHIP IS TOO ENERGON-DEPLETED BY BATTLE
TO RETURN TO CYBERTRON?
-THE MAXIMALS -- -HAVE NOTHING.
THEY WERE EXPECTING RESCUE.
I, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAVE A SECRET STORE OF ENERGON CUBES.
YES.
RELEASE ME AND IT IS YOURS.
I THINK I WILL TAKE IT ANYWAY.
ITS LOCATION IS ENCRYPTED, AND MY MINIONS HAVE FLED.
REMEMBER THE DEFENSE SHUTDOWN THAT TRIGGERED YOUR CAPTURE?
YES.
HOW DID YOU
PERMIT ME TO INTRODUCE LIEUTENANT TARANTULAS
OF THE PREDACON SECRET POLICE.
[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
A MOLE!
WITHIN MY OWN ORGANIZATION ALL THIS TIME.
AND I NEVER SUSPECTED.
ENERGON CACHE LOCATED, COVERT AGENT RAVAGE.
I'LL HAVE THE MAXIMALS RETRIEVE IT RIGHT AWAY.
YES.
YOU DO THAT.
ON MY WAY, BIG BOT.
ALL RIGHT!
UHSILVERBOLT?
YES?
UH, I-I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO SAY I-I'M SORRY ABOUT ALL THIS,
AND, WELL, I-I PROMISE I'LL BRING HER IN
WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE, OKAY?
WELL, THAT IS VERY CONSIDERATE OF YOU, CHEETOR.
AND I AM SORRY TOO.
SORRY? FOR WHAT?
FORTHIS!
OH!
CHEETOR?
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
WHOA.
I'M A LITTLE DIZZY, BUT I'LL BE OKAY.
THEN I AM AGAIN SORRY.
WHAT?
[ GROANS ]
HEY!
WHY, YOU SUCKER-PUNCHIN' SPANIEL!
[ ALARM BLARING ]
AH, I USED TO BE YOUNG LIKE THAT.
WHAT?
I, UH -- I MEAN, WE GOT TROUBLE.
OH, YEAH. TROUBLE WITH A CAPITAL "B."
HOW'S THE HEAD?
MORE FATHEADED THAN FRACTURED, BIG BOT.
I'M A CAT.
I OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER THAN TO TRUST A DOG.
SILVERBOLT BELIEVED HE WAS ACTING IN YOUR BEST INTERESTS.
YEAH, WELL, I LOOK FORWARD TO RETURNING THE FAVOR.
KA-POW!
THERE'S THE CAVE. LET'S GET THAT ENERGON.
THE SOONER WE GET MEGATRON OFF THIS PLANET, THE BETTER.
AW, MAN!
WHAT IS IT?
THE ENERGON'S HERE, BUT IT'S RAW.
HUH?
NO GOOD FOR US.
MEGABRAIN MUST HAVE MADE A MISTAKE.
NOT IF I KNOW MEGATRON.
WEAPONS ONLINE, CHEETOR. PREPARE TO FALL BACK.
[ WHIRRING ] WHAT? HEY, WHAT IS THIS?!
AAH!
[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
BY ROYAL COMMAND, FIRE!
[ HOWLING ]
WHAT THE --
MA'AM, PULL THIS VEHICLE OVER.
PLEASE.
NO! GET OUT OF HERE! I'M BUSY.
VERY WELL, THEN.
PREPARE TO BE BOARDED.
AND YOU CAN PREPARE TO BE BLOWN AWAY IF YOU DON'T LEAVE.
BLACKARACHNIA, I WANT YOU TO RETURN WITH ME TO THE MAXIMALS.
OH, GET A CLUE, YOU CANINE CRETIN.
I'M A PREDACON. I'M EVIL.
I'LL SHOOT YOU.
NO.
MY HEART TELLS ME THAT YOU WILL NOT.
OH, YEAH?
YOUSHOT ME!
NO DUH, DOG BOY!
I'M EVIL.
NOW DO YOU BELIEVE ME?
AND YET YOU ENSURED THE WOUND WOULD NOT BE MORTAL.
YOUR INNER MAXIMAL GOODNESS PREVENTED YOU --
SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
I KNOW HOW YOU'RE FEELING.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO KISS MEOR KILL ME.
I'M A BLACK WIDOW SPIDER, YOU IDIOT!
I CAN DO BOTH.
OOH!
WASPINATOR HAS REACHED COORDINATES.
HMM. BUT WHERE --
AAAAAAH!
AAH!
OH, NO.
YOU'RE NOT SAVING MY LIFE AGAIN. EVEN AFTER I SHOT YOU?
IT'S MY DUTY, MA'AM,
AS A MAXIMAL AND AS A HEROIC CHARACTER.
YOU KNOW I LIKE THEM BIG AND STUPID,
BUT YOU'RE REALLY PUSHING IT.
[ LAUGHING EVILLY ]
HA HA!
OOH!
AAAH!
LOOK! HE'S GOT ENERGON BUILDUP.
HA HA HA!
AAAH!
HA HA HA HA!
[ GROANING ]
HA HA HA HA!
AAAAAH!
FORTHE
ROYALTY!
CHEETOR, IT'S GONNA BLOW!
[ GROANING ]
HA HA HA HA!
AAAAAAH!
[ EXPLOSION ]
-AAAAAAAH! -AAAAAAAH!
THIS IS OPTIMUS PRIMAL CALLING RAVAGE.
COME IN.
SO IT WAS A TRAP.
OH, NO. REALLY?
YOU ARE A PIECE OF WORK.
EVEN IMPRISONED, YOU STILL OPERATE YOUR OWN AGENDA.
I AM NOT NAIVE.
YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF RETURNING ME OR ANY OF US
TO CYBERTRON ALIVE.
THAT IS TRUE.
BUT YOUR CREW IS SCATTERED, AND I WANT NO WITNESSES.
STILL
WHY SHOULD I TOLERATE YOUR EXISTENCE ANY LONGER?
DID YOU EVER WONDER WHY I STOLE THE GOLDEN DISK
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
YOU WERE LOOKING FOR ENERGON.
THAT WAS A BONUS.
IT ALLOWED ME TO RECRUIT A CREW AND GAVE POTENTIAL FOR POWER.
BUT THE REAL REASON WAS THIS --
THE GOLDEN DISK
WAS LAUNCHED FROM EARTH ABOARD THE VOYAGER SPACECRAF
JUST AS THE SECRET WAR
BETWEEN THE AUTOBOTS AND DECEPTICONS BEGAN.
THE ORIGINAL MEGATRON, YOUR COMMANDER,
HAD EVERY INTENTION OF WINNING.
BUT LIKE MYSELF, HE COVERED HIS BETS.
HE INSCRIBED A SECRET MESSAGE INTO THE GOLDEN DISK --
A MESSAGE WHICH I MYSELF DISCOVERED AND DECODED.
I'M EXPECTED TO BELIEVE YOU?
YOU SAID YOURSELF THE DISK WAS DESTROYED.
HMM.
ARM AUTOGUNS.
TARGET THE PRISONER.
[ BEEPING ] TARGETING.
RELEASE THE POWER BONDS.
[ GROANS ]
THE DISK WAS DESTROYED, BUT A FRAGMENT REMAINS.
AND I'M NOT EXPECTING YOU TO BELIEVE ME.
THIS IS MEGATRON, LEADER OF THE DECEPTICONS.
AND IF YOU ARE HEARING THIS, IT MEANS I FAILEDTHIS TIME.
[ CHUCKLES ]
BUT I KNOW THAT TRANSWARP TECHNOLOGY IS BEING DEVELOPED,
AND SO I LEAVE THIS MESSAGE TO ANY DECEPTICON DESCENDANTS
THAT MAY FIND -- MAY FIND -- MAY FIND -- MAY FIND
AUTOGUNS OFF-LINE.
RETRACT BARS.
COMPLYING.
NOW
LET US TALK.
NO. NOT FAIR.
WASPINATOR MINDING OWN BUSINESS WHEN -- BANG! --
GETS WHOLE STASIS POD RIGHT UP THE KAZOOTY.
[ GRUMBLING ]
[ BOTH GRUNTING ]
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
IT APPEARS SOMEONE DUG THIS TUNNEL AND THEN BLASTED IT SHUT.
MM.
THIS GIVE YOU ANY CLUE?
HMM. MEGATRON?
OH, GOT IT IN ONE.
NOW, WHY DON'T YOU HAUL YOUR HERO HEINIE OUT OF HERE?
I DON'T RECALL INVITING YOU TO THE PICNIC.
[ SIGHS ] I WILL NOT LEAVE WITHOUT YOU.
IT'S DANGEROUS. PROBABLY A TRAP.
AHA! [ LAUGHS ]
YOUR INNER MAXIMAL GOODNESS SHOWS CONCERN.
OH, THAT'S IT!
VITAL CIRCUITS THIS TIME!
MY APOLOGIES!
I-I WON'T CALL YOUR BLUFF.
THEN YOU'LL LEAVE?
NOT WITHOUT YOU.
[ SCREAMS ]
ALL RIGHT!
THEN MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL.
SEE THAT BIG BOULDER RIGHT THERE?
THINK YOU CAN TAKE IT OUT?
[ LAUGHS ]
STAND BACK, CITIZEN.
[ GROANS ]
OPTIMUS TO MAXIMAL BASE.
WHAT IS YOUR STATUS? REPORT.
Well, I got good news and bad news, fearless leader.
ALL RIGHT. WHAT'S THE GOOD NEWS?
Well, the good news is
we don't have to kowtow to that stinkin' Decepticon any longer.
AND THE BAD NEWS?
Uh, well, the bad news is he switched sides!
HUH? AAAAH!
DECEPTICONS FOREVER!
