[bird calling]
[electrical buzzing]
- AH, SLAG.
- HOW SOON BEFORE WE'RE OPERATIONAL?
- WITH NOTHING TO WORK WITH BUT SALVAGED PARTS?
I'M MAKING NO PROMISES.
- RHINOX, WE HAVE TO HOLD THE LINE AS LONG AS WE CAN.
IF THE MAXIMAL ELDERS DON'T SEND A RESCUE SHIP SOON,
WE MAY HAVE TO CHANGE OUR STRATEGY.
[buzzes] - AH!
IF THE ELDERS WERE GOING TO SEND A SHIP,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE BY NOW.
YOU KNOW THAT.
- I'M NOT SURE WHAT I KNOW ANY MORE, OLD FRIEND.
NONE OF USE ARE QUITE WHO WE WERE WHEN WE BEGAN THIS WAR,
AND NEITHER IS OUR UNIVERSE.
- THIS SECTOR HAS BEEN DECLARED FORBIDDEN
BY ORDER OF THE HIGH COUNCIL.
- SLAG THE HIGH COUNCIL.
[computer beeping]
GIVE ME A QUANTUM SCAN.
- THAT WOULD CONTRADICT PROGRAM DIRECTIVE 9-3--
- JUST DO IT.
- ACKNOWLEDGED.
SCAN POSITIVE.
ENERGY SIGNATURE OF PROTOFORM X DETECTED.

- BEGIN THE EXERCISE,
SUB-COMMANDER.
- I WILL ATTACK THE FUZOR
AND THE TRAITOR TO OUR COLONY,
DRAWING OPTIMUS OUT.
WHEN HE JOINS THE BATTLE, TARGET HIM WITH ALL YOUR FIREPOWER.
UNDERSTOOD?
- MM. HARDLY A DIFFICULT CONCEPT, IS IT?
- JUST FOLLOW MY ORDERS, DRONE!
- [groans]
HUH?
AH
SOMEONE'SCOMING.
SOMEONE I REMEMBER.
[revving]
[whoosh] - AAH!
[electrical crackling]
[device beeps]

- I'M IN GRID ALPHA-SEVEN.
SOMETHING'S COMING OUT OF THE SKY.
SOMETHING HOT.

- FOLLOW IT, CHEETOR!
AND STAY IN TOUCH. I'M ON THE WAY.
THIS COULD BE WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
- LET'S HOPE SO.

[sonar blips]
- READING UNKNOWN MAXIMAL SIGNATURE,
VECTOR 7-5-6.
- IT'S SOME KIND OF CAT-BOT.
AND I BET IT'S NOT ENJOYING THE WATER.
- UNIT INFERNO DISABLED.
UNABLE TO LOCATE UNIT RAMPAGE.
- [growls]
- LOOKS LIKE SUB-COMMANDER BUG AND OL' CRAB CAKE
GOT THEIR KEISTERS KICKED, BOSS. [chuckles]
- WASPINATOR, SALVAGE INFERNO.
[buzzing]
- OH, INFERNO BLOW UP, WASPINATOR MUST SALVAGE.
WASPINATOR BLOW UP, NOBODY SALVAGE.
OH, WHY UNIVERSE HATE WASPINATOR?
- HMM.

I WANT TO KNOW HOW HE'S ELUDING MY SCANNERS.
HMM.

REMOTE SCANNER DETECTS PROTOFORM X, VECTOR 3-6-8.
- GOTTA GO.
PROTOFORM X IS WAITING, AND I DON'T WANT TO DISAPPOINT HIM.
[whirring]
- PROTOFORM X? HEY, HEY, HEY, HOLD ON!
CHEETOR TO OPTIMUS. [electrical crackling]
GREAT, THAT DUNKING FOULED MY COMM-LINK.

[sonar blips]
- COMPUTER, WHERE IS HE?
- VECTOR 0-0-0.
- THERE'S NOTHING THERE BUT ROCKS.
- [growls]
GREETINGS, OLD PLAYMATE.
SO GLAD YOU COULD COME.
- X!
- I'M CALLED RAMPAGE NOW.
A BIT OBVIOUS, BUT TO THE POINT,
DON'T YOU THINK?
[metallic groaning] - AAH!
- YOUR PAIN IS LOVELY, BUT WHERE IS YOUR TERROR?
IT WOULD MAKE THIS SO MUCH MORE AMUSING,
JUST LIKE OUR LITTLE PARTY ON OMICRON.
- YOU WANT AMUSING, CREEP?
[jets whirring]
- [screaming]
- COME ON, OPTIMUS. WHAT'S TAKING YOU?
- [gasps]
[both screaming]
- NOW I'VE SEEN EVERYTHING.
[both screaming] [metallic clangs]
- [grunts]
UGH. [electrical crackling]
- AAH!
[grunts]
- YOU'RE TRICKIER THAN BEFORE.
I LIKE THAT.
[clicks]
[gun fires] - [groans]
[overlapping grunts]
WHOA.
UH-OH! OOH.
AH!
[screams]
- BIGBOT! DOWN HERE!
[whirr, click, thud]
- CHEETOR, WHAT HAPPENED?
- RAMPAGE BLIND-SIDED ME.
AND THEN THIS WEIRD FISH-BOT SAVED MY HIDE
AND SWAM OUT OF HERE LOOKING FOR PROTOFORM X.
SAID HIS NAME WAS DEPTH CHARGE.
- DEPTH CHARGE?
- [pained groans]
AAH!
[electrical crackling]
[laughs]
OOH, AH.
- ALERT. PROTOFORM X STILL FUNCTIONAL.
ACTIVATE DEFENSE SYSTEMS.
- IGNORE THE PAIN.
IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. [laughs]
- [laughs]
I'M FLATTERED YOU CHASED ME SO FAR.
BUT THEN, IT WAS YOU WHO CAGED ME THE LAST TIME, WASN'T IT?
[grunts]
AH!
- THIS TIME, I WON'T BOTHER WITH A CAGE, CREEP!
- AH!
AH!
I'LL FILLET YOU FOR THAT.
- YOU'VE GOT A FEW NEW TRICKS TOO.
- [growls]
RAMPAGE, ATTACK!
- [pained groans]
- [roars]
- [grunts]
THIS IS FOR COLONY OMICRON!
- [grunts]
AHH!
[electrical crackling]
- WARNING. ACTIVATE REPAIR SEQUENCEIMMEDIATELY.
- [growls]
- LET'S FINISH IT, X.
- NOT SO FAST, HOMBRE!
THAT CRAB MAY BE UGLY,
BUT HE'S A PREDACON.
- AH!
UNH.
- [blows]
[chuckles] TOO SLOW.
[gasps]
UH-OH.
AH!
[electrical crackling]
- IT'S HIM.
[crackling]
LET'S GET HIM BACK TO BASE.
- WELL WHAT ABOUT--
- [gasps]
- I THINK HE'S HAD ENOUGH.
FOR NOW.
- SO, UH, WHO IS THIS HERRING ANYWAY?
- DEPTH CHARGE WAS IN CHARGE OF SECURITY FOR COLONY OMICRON.
PROTOFORM X ESCAPED THERE
AND LEVELED THE COLONY.
- ONLY DEPTH CHARGE SURVIVED.
- FROM THEN ON, DEPTH CHARGE HUNTED PROTOFORM X.
AFTER FOUR STELLAR CYCLES,
HE BROUGHT HIM BACK TO CYBERTRON.
HE ASKED THE HIGH COUNCIL TO FIND A WAY TO DESTROY HIS SPARK.
- THEY TURNED HIM OVER TO US INSTEAD.
DEPTH CHARGE WASN'T TOO HAPPY WITH THE DECISION.
- EH, SO HE'S GOT A LOT OF ANGST.
THE QUESTION IS, HOW'D HE GET HERE?
- REPAIR CYCLE COMPLETE.
- NOW'S OUR CHANCE TO ASK.
[whirring]
[steam hisses]
- WHAT THE PIT ARE YOU?
- I GUESS I'VE CHANGED SINCE WE LAST MET, DEPTH CHARGE.
- PRIMAL!
- ALERT. PROTOFORM X STILL FUNCTIONAL.
- I'M CHEETOR.
THANKS FOR PULLING ME OUT OF THE WATER.
- GO CHASE A MOUSE.
[clangs] - UNH!
- WHOO-HOO.
TALK ABOUT RUDE.
- DEPTH CHARGE.
- WHY ARE YOU HERE, PRIMAL?
- WE WERE ABOUT TO ASK YOU THE SAME THING.
- I HAVE NO IDEA.
SOME KIND OF ANOMALY TRASHED MY SHIP.
I WAS SEARCHING THE GALAXY FOR YOUR MISTAKE.
- WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS HERE, DEPTH CHARGE.
- GOOD.
THEN X IS MINE AGAIN.
- WAIT!
- BACK OFF, PRIMAL!
YOU BLEW IT.
JUST LIKE I TOLD THE HIGH COUNCIL YOU WOULD.
- STUBBORN AS EVER.
- LET HIM GO.
THE PREDS WILL CHANGE HIS MIND.
OR MAKE HIM INTO FISH STICKS.
- I DON'T LIKE HIM MUCH, EITHER.
BUT HE'S STILL MAXIMAL.
- [gasps]
IT CAN'T BE.
IT'S THE ARK.
AND THIS IS EARTH.
YOU'VE TRAVELED BACK IN TIME.
- YEAH, A FEW MILLION STELLAR CYCLES BACK IN TIME.
[chuckles] AND MEGATRON AND HIS PREDS
ARE TRYING TO SLAG THE AUTOBOTS.
- IT'S NOT A JOKE.
WE'RE IN A WAR TO SAVE OUR OWN FUTURE,
AND WE COULD USE YOUR HELP.
- YOU WANT MY HELP.
I STILL HAVE YOUR FIRST MESS TO CLEAN UP.
NOW, WHERE'S THE WAY OUT?
- WHAT'S WITH HIM?
- EH, PROBABLY RUST.
- DEPTH CHARGE, LET IT GO!
YOU'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT X DID ON OMICRON,
AND NEITHER AM I.
STOP LOOKING FOR REVENGE AND DO SOMETHING TO HELP.
- IT'S NOT REVENGE I'M LOOKING FOR.
IT'S JUSTICE.
- [sighs]
OPEN THE DOORS.
- [grunts]
- X IS NOT ALONE.
HE'S A PREDACON NOW UNDER MEGATRON'S CONTROL.
THERE ARE SIX OF THEM.
- I'VE GOTTA HAND IT TO YOU, PRIMAL.
WHEN YOU SCREW UP, YOU DO IT BIG TIME.
BUT THANKS FOR THE TIP.
- SO, YOU THINK HE'LL COME BACK?
- THERE WAS A TIME HE WOULD NEVER HAVE LEFT.
RAMPAGE CHANGED THAT.
- IT WAS REALLY SO VERY NICE OF YOU TO COME.
SO GLAD YOU COULD STAY.
OH, WE'LL HAVE SUCH FUN.
