- BEAST WARS!
BEAST WARS!
BEAST WARS!
[growl]
- OH, IS MY INSIDE AS GORGEOUS AS MY OUTSIDE?
- HEH, DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF, EIGHT-LEGS.
I SEEN BETTER CIRCUITS THAN YOURS ON MAINTENANCE BOTS.
HEH! - ONE MORE REMARK LIKE THA
AND IT'LL BE RAT ON A STICK FOR LUNCH.
- NOW THOSE ARE WHAT I CALL LINES.
- UGH. SOMEONE GET HIM A KITTY TREA
BEFORE HE DROOLS ALL OVER YOUR COMPUTER.
- KNOCK IT OFF, ALL OF YOU.
I'M ALMOST FINISHED.
THERE.
THAT'S THE SHELL PROGRAM.
- OH, SO THAT'S WHAT'S KEEPING SPIDER-BRAIN
FROM FINDING HER TRUE MAXIMAL SELF, HUH?.
- VERY COMPLEX.
HM, DEFINITELY ME.
- WE'RE FINISHED HERE.
YOU CAN GO.
THANKS.
- WHAT'S THE MATTER?
DON'T YOU TRUST ME?
- HEH, ABOUT AS FAR AS AN ANVIL CAN JUMP.
[sputters]
OF COURSE I MEAN THAT IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY.
- BLACKARACHNIA, HE WAS ONLY
[gulp] KIDDING.
- BACK OFF.
I'M TIRED OF TESTS AND SECRETS
AND HANGING AROUND THIS DEPRESSING DUMP.
AND I'M SICK OF YOUR STUPID CRUSH.
- BLACKARACHNIA, STAND DOWN!
- [grunts] EH.
- I THOUGHT I'D PROVED MYSELF TO YOU MAXIMALS BY NOW.
GUESS I WAS WRONG.
- RATTRAP, CALL SILVERBOLT IN FROM PATROL.
CHEETOR, YOU REPLACE HIM.
- BE GLAD TO.
- HEH, PREDACONS.
WHO NEEDS 'EM?
- NOT ME.
- CAN YOU REMOVE THE SHELL
AND REACTIVATE HER MAXIMAL PROGRAMMING?
- MM, IT'S TRICKY.
AND DANGEROUS.
IT COULD DUMP HER ENTIRE CORE AND LEAVE HER A BLANK.
- AND IF WE DO NOTHING?
- SHE'LL BE A PREDACON FOREVER.
- HM. THAT MAY BE TOO BIG A CHANCE TO TAKE RIGHT NOW.
LET'S FIND HER.
- SO THAT'S HOW IT IS.
NOBODY'S UNZIPPING THIS GIRL'S CORE.
- AH, THE GAME BEGINS.
[growls] AS I KNEW IT WOULD.
[whirring]
[roars]
- AHH.
LET'S TALK ABOUT FUTURES, YOURS AND MINE.
MINE'S GOTTEN COMPLICATED.
SILVERBOLT IS EVERY BAD GIRL'S DREAM.
BUT HIS MAXIMAL PALS WOULD RATHER SLAG ME
THAN LET ME BE WHAT I AM.
SO, I GUESS THIS GIG'S OVER.
LIKE YOUR FUTURE.
- [roars]
- DINOBOT.
JUST WHAT I NEED TO LET OFF SOME REAL STEAM.
- [growls, panting]
[panting, growls]
- HMM.
- [growls, snarls]
[laughs]
[growls]
- I'M BEGINNING TO LIKE YOU, SKULL FACE.
LET'S PLAY.
- [panting]
[thud]
[growls]
[bird calling]
HMM.
HUH?
[growls]
SHE STALKS ME.
INTERESTING.
HMM?
[roars]
EH?
- AWW.
THOUGHT YOU'D LAST A LITTLE LONGER.
- [growls]
- HOW BORING.
[grunts]
UNH.
SO MUCH FOR BORING.
- YOU WASTE MY TIME WITH YOUR MAXIMAL TRICKS.
NOW GO BACK TO YOUR WEB, COWARD.
- OH, CALLING ME A COWARD IS ONE THING.
BUT NOBODY CALLS ME A MAXIMAL!
- ROUND ONE.
FIGHT!
- BING, BANG! [laughs]
OOH. OOH, YEAH.
- I CANNOT FIND BLACKARACHNIA ANYWHERE.
- HEY! WHAT THE--
HAVE YOU SLIPPED YOUR CIRCUITS THERE, BOLT?
OH, MAN, I ALMOST CLEARED THE LEVEL.
- COMPUTER, SCAN PERIMETER FOR UNIT BLACKARACHNIA.
- UNIT LOCATED.
MOVING ON VECTOR 7-3-9.
- SHE'S HEADED TOWARD PREDACON GROUND.
BUT, WHY?
- HEH, OBVIOUS, AIN'T IT?
I'LL TELL OPTIMUS--
- NO!
- HEY! HANDS OFF THE METAL, SIR DROOLS-A-LOT.
I AM NOT IN THE MOOD.
- I'M--I AM SORRY.
GIVE ME A CHANCE TO BRING HER BACK.
- WISE UP, BIRD-DOG.
A PRED IS A PRED.
- WELL, PERHAPS.
BUT SHE'S MY RESPONSIBILITY.
SHE WOULD NOT BETRAY US.
- HA! AND I HATE CHEESE.
- YOU TRUSTED THE OLD DINOBOT.
- AND REGRETTED IT.
MORE THAN ONCE.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'VE GOT A MEGACYCLE.
- WE'LL BE BACK SOONER.
OH, AND RATTRAP?
THANK YOU.
- [scoffs]
OH, BOY. I MUST HAVE A GLITCH.
- [growls]
COMPUTER, HOW LONG BEFORE
BLACKARACHNIA CROSSES INTO THE JAMMING ZONE?
- 10.7 NANOCLICKS.
- MM. [laughs]
NOW WE PLAYFOR REAL.
- MOOD. SETTING.
ALL I NEED NOW IS MY DANCE PARTNER.
- [growls]
[hisses]
[growls]
- GOTCHA.
[gasps]
- [growling, static crackling]
[rustling]
- WHAT? - [roars]
- UNH!
- [snarls]
YOU TOOK THE BAIT WELL
AS I ANTICIPATED.
[growls]
AH!
[snarls]
[wood creaking, cracking]
- UH-OH.
- [growls]
- [screams]
- [chuckles]
- OW, OH, OH.
- THE MAXIMALS HAVE MADE YOU SOFT.
MEGATRON WILL CHANGE THAT - [grunting]
- AFTER HE EXTRACTS THE ACCESS CODES FOR THE ARK
FROM YOUR HEAD.
NOW, HOLD STILL.
THIS WILL HURT.
- AH!
- OOH!
- [grunts]
- [growls]
- [grunting]
BLACKARACHNIA TO SILVERBOLT.
I'M BADLY DAMAGED.
I NEED A LIFT.
SILVERBOLT, DO YOU COPY?
- [growls]
- GREAT, I LET THAT SNEAKY LIZARD LEAD ME
RIGHT INTO MEGATRON'S JAMMING ZONE.
- YOUR FIRST MISTAKE, BUT NOT YOUR LAST.
YOUR TIME IS DONE, SPIDER.
- OH, MY TRACKING ARRAY IS USELESS IN THE JAMMING ZONE.
I MUST RETURN TO BASICS.
[sniffs]
I HAVE HER SCENT!
AND ANOTHER ONE.
A FOUL ONE. [sniffs]
DINOBOT.
- HEE, YEAH, WHOO-HOO! OH, THAT DOES IT!
PREPARE TO DIE!
- RATTRAP! - [gasps]
- WHERE'S SILVERBOLT AND BLACKARACHNIA?
- I, UH, THOUGHT THEY WERE IN THE LAB, HEH, WITH YOU.
- THERE'S NO SIGN OF THEM ON THE SCANNERS,
INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL.
- OPTIMUS TO SILVERBOLT, COME IN IMMEDIATELY, THAT'S AN ORDER!
[static]
- THEY MUST BE IN MEGATRON'S JAMMING ZONE.
- LOCATE THEM, AND LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS YOU DO.
- I DON'T KNOW HOW FANG SURVIVED MY VENOM,
BUT A TRIPLE DOSE SHOULD DROP HIM.
- THANK PRIMUS I FOUND YOU!
NOTHING TO SAY FOR YOURSELF, EH?
- [growls]
- YES. DUCK!
- HUH?
UNH!
OOH!
- [roars]
- AH! - [roars]
- HUNH, AH!
- AH!
[roars]
- OH! UNH!
[grunting]
- SUBMIT NOW, OR BID GOOD-BYE TO THE OBJEC
OF YOUR TWISTED AFFECTION.
- [groans]
- THIS IS BETWEEN PREDACONS.
- [growls]
- [grunts]
- YOU SURPRISE ME.
PERHAPS THERE IS SOME PREDACON LEFT IN YOU AFTER ALL.
- I'M THROUGH WITH THE MAXIMALS.
BUT I CAN'T GO BACK TO MEGATRON, EITHER.
NOT WITHOUT SOMEONE TO BACK ME UP.
SOMEONE LIKE YOU.
- MM, INTERESTING.
TELL ME MORE.
- [groans]
- YOU'RE STATE-OF-THE-ART METAL,
AND I'VE GOT THE KEY TO THE ARK.
TOGETHER, WE COULD RULE
WITHOUT MEGATRON.
- AH.
WHATHAPPENED?
- USURP MEGATRON'S COMMAND AND TAKE THE ARK FOR OURSELVES?
IT IS AMBITIOUS.
- I'M THAT KIND OF A GIRL.
SO, WHAT DO YOU SAY? PARTNERS?
- I SAY, YOU
ARE A FOOL!
- [screams]
[strained grunts]
- BELOVED!
- [grunts]
- YOU'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE IN A MOMENT.
- [grunting]
- JUST ENOUGH TO FEEL
THE FINAL BLOW.
- UNHAND HER,
REPTILIAN FILTH!
- [roars]
[screams]
- [sighs]
- [growls]
[roars]
- GAME OVER, FANGS.
- [grunts]
NOOO!
[crash]
- AH, OH.
TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH.
- STOP!
- WHAT IS IT?
- DESPITE YOUR ATTEMPT TO DESTROY ME, I--
I HEARD YOUR FOUL PLAN TO BETRAY US.
- OH, WHY ARE THE CUTE ONES ALWAYS TUBE HEADS?
THAT WAS A DIVERSION.
I WANTED TO GET DINOBOT AWAY FROM YOU.
- YOU SHOT ME!
- IF I DIDN'T, HE WOULD HAVE BLOWN YOUR HEAD OFF.
AND YOU'RE STILL FUNCTIONAL, AREN'T YOU?
- IT SEEMS SO, YES.
BUT--
- OH. OH, I GET IT.
YOU DON'T TRUST ME EITHER!
- BLACKARACHNIA--
- BACK OFF, BOWSER.
I'VE TRIED MY BEST TO FIT IN WITH YOU MAXIMALS,
BUT IT'S JUST NOT WORKING.
- YOU'RE WRONG.
WE'VE ALL COME TO THINK OF YOU AS--AS A PART OF THE TEAM.
- YEAH, RIGHT.
THAT'S WHY APE-FACE AND HIS HORNED-NOSE PAL
WANT TO WIPE MY CORE.
- YOU'RE MISTAKEN.
THEY WOULD NEVER DO THAT.
- I HEARD THEM SAY IT.
[whoosh]
- OH, THANK PRIMUS.
IT'S OPTIMUS.
- IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO.
IT'S BEEN A SURGE.
- OH, NO. - UNH.
- THIS TIME, YOU STAY.
- LET GO!
I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU, BUT I WILL!
- YOU'VE ALREADY HURT ME,
BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THE TRUTH IF IT--
[whip, crack]
OW.
- WARNED YA.
OH, NOT SUCH A GREAT IDEA.
[both groaning]
- YOU BOTH LOOK LIKE SCRAP.
- UH, YES, WE HAD A--A SLIGHT ALTERCATION WITH DINOBOT.
MY FAULT, ACTUALLY.
- NO WAY.
I HEARD YOU AND RHINOX PLANNING TO UNZIP MY CORE.
SO, I TOOK OFF.
THEN DINOBOT JUMPED ME, AND SPOT HERE RESCUED ME.
- IS IT TRUE, OPTIMUS?
WERE YOU GOING TO REPROGRAM HER?
- WITH REPROGRAMMING, YOU COULD BE THE MAXIMAL
YOU WERE MEANT TO BE.
BUT THE DECISION TO TAKE THAT STEP
IS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE, YOURS TO MAKE.
- YOU MEAN, I HAD A CHOICE?
- THAT IS THE MAXIMAL WAY.
NOW, LET'S GET YOU BOTH BACK TO BASE.
- EXCUSE ME, I BELIEVE THAT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY
AS HER COMMANDER.
- WHICH WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LONG TALK ABOUT LATER.
- BY THE WAY,
THANKS FOR COMING AFTER ME.
IT WASSWEET.
- AS WAS THE WAY YOU CONFESSED THE TRUTH TO OPTIMUS.
OH, WE'LL MAKE A MAXIMAL OF YOU YET.
- IN YOUR DREAMS.
I LIKE MYSELF JUST THE WAY I AM,
AND I INTEND TO STAY THIS WAY.
HOME, ROVER!
