[feeble electronic hum]
- UH, ONE LAST CONNECTION, AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
USE TELETRAAN-1'S FORCE FIELD TO PROTECT THE BASE.
- LET'S HOPE SO.
THE PREDS HAVE BEEN BLOWING HOLES IN OUR DOORS
ON A DAILY BASIS.
- EH, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO DO, RING THE DOORBELL?
- READY, RHINOX?
[beeping] [engine powering up]
[beeping and knocking]
[beeping]
- SO FAR, SO--
OH! OH!
- [snickers]
OH, AUTOBOT TECH IS DIFFERENT FROM OURS.
MIXING THE TWO IS TRICKY.
- [sighs] WELL, SO MUCH FOR PLAN "A."
- DOES THAT MEAN THAT THERE'S A, UH, PLAN "B"?
- WE HAVE TO SALVAGE SENTINEL. - [scoffs]
ARE YOU LOOPY?
THE AXALON'S IN ITTY-BITTY PIECES,
AND, UH, UNDER WATER.
- WHICH IS WHY WE'LL NEED SPECIAL HELP.
OPTIMUS TO SILVERBOLT, DO YOU COPY?
- SILVERBOLT HERE.
- ANY SIGN OF DEPTH CHARGE YET?
- I AM AFRAID NOT.
I BELIEVE HE MAY BE INSIDE MEGATRON'S JAMMING FIELD.
- HMM
ABORT SEARCH AND RETURN TO BASE IMMEDIATELY.
- OY, SO MUCH FOR PLAN "B."
I KNEW WE COULDN'T COUNT ON THAT WATER-LOGGED WIREHEAD.
- THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER WAY.

BESIDES UGLY?

IT'S POWERED COMPLETELY BY HAND.
NO NOISE, NO ENERGY SIGNATURE.

- IT SHOULD DO THE JOB.
- NATURALLY. SO WHEN DO I LEAVE?
- YOU DON'T.
- OH, NO! IF YOU THINK
THAT I'M GETTING INSIDE THAT PREDACON BEACH BALL,
HOO, YOU GOT YOUR WIRES CROSSED, FEARLESS LEADER.
- BLACKARACHNIA WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR,
AND YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT IN IT.
- [grunts] NO WAY! I AIN'T NO WATER RAT.
- WITHOUT A SHIELD PROGRAM TO GUARD THE BASE,
WE'RE TRAPPED IN A DEFENSIVE POSITION.
THIS WAR COULD GO ON FOREVER.
WE'LL NEVER GET BACK TO CYBERTRON.
- [grunts] OH! OH.
AW, YOU JUST HAD TO SAY THE "C" WORD, DIDN'T YOU?
OKAY, OKAY.
WHAT ARE YOU GRINNING ABOUT, LITTER BUTT?
- I WAS JUST THINKING, WITH YOU INSIDE,
THAT WOULD MAKE A SWELL CAT TOY.
[leopard meows] - [laughs]
- [laughs]
- UH.
[screams] HOO-HOO!
- UH, WE'RE APPROACHING THE TARGET AREA.
HOW ARE YOU FARING IN THERE, RATTRAP?
I'M HOT, I'M CRAMPED, I'M AIRSICK,
AND THE NEXT TIME THAT BIG APE ASKS ME TO DO SOMETHING FOR HIM,
MAN, I AM GONNA SHOVE MY BLASTER SO FAR UP HIS--
- TARGET DEAD AHEAD. PREPARE FOR DROP.
- [gulps] DROP? CAN'T WE, UH, TALK THIS
[prolonged screams]
OH, MAN, OH, MAN, OH, MAN, THIS THING HAD BETTER WORK!
