[thunder rumbling]
- AND A MIGHTY WARRIOR CAME DOWN FROM THE SKY,
AND A RAINBOW WAS UPON HIS HEAD,
AND HIS FEET AS PILLARS OF FIRE!
AND THE GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT ONTO THE EARTH,
AND HIS FOLLOWERS WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM!
- WHAT?
WHAT IN THE SEVEN SPIRAL GALAXIES
ARE YOU JABBERING ABOUT?
- THE COVENANT OF PRIMUS.
DATATRAX, 7.613. ONLY TWO EXIST.
ONE WAS ABOARD THE ARK. - [scoffs] OH, PLEASE.
SURE, OKAY.
DRAGON-BREATH LOST HIS BASE.
AND WE ADDED THUNDER-BUTT THERE TO THE TEAM.
BUT YOU DON'T GOTTA CLAIM IT'S ORDAINED.
- THIS IS OUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO END THE BEAST WARS
AND MEGATRON'S EVIL.
- ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS FIND HIM.
- DANG IT!
I HATE HIDING FROM THEM MAXIS.
CAN'T I JUST SHOOT ONE?
- NO!
WE ARE, AT THE MOMENT, AT A TACTICAL DISADVANTAGE.
- AND WHOSE FAULT IS THAT? YOU LED US TO DEFEAT!
[screams]
- DEFEAT? NOT YET.
FOR I SUSPECT THAT TARANTULAS MAY HAVE LEFT A LEGACY
I CAN YET UTILIZE.
- AGAINST TIGERHAWK? HA!
- THE ROYALTY WILL TRIUMPH!
ALL WE NEED IS A NEW COLONY,
AND I SHALL FIND IT!
- HA!
ANT-BOT NOT FIND OWN THORAX WITH BOTH HANDS AND A ROAD MAP.
- WAH! - [grunts]
- A NEW BASE, YES!
TAKE QUICKSTRIKE AND WASPINATOR, SUB-COMMANDER.
SEE WHAT YOU CAN LOCATE.
- AT ONCE, MY QUEEN!
- OH, WASPINATOR FEEL MUCH DAMAGE COMING ON.
- THE REST OF YOU, SEARCH THIS WRECKAGE.
THAT SPIDER'S SCHEMING WAS ONE OF THE FEW CERTAINTIES
IN THIS STRUGGLE.
AH, YES.
INCIPIENT TREACHERY FROM UNICRON'S SPAWN
MAY YET TURN THE TIDE.
- THIS IS DEPTH CHARGE.
PRED ACTIVITY SPOTTED IN GRID SCYLLA.
- CONFIRMED. STRIKE TEAM READY TO DEPLOY.
FALL BACK UNTIL THEIR ARRIVAL.
- BLOW IT OUT OF YOUR EXHAUST PORT, OPTIMAL!
X IS DOWN THERE.
I'M GOING IN.
- DEPTH CHARGE!
DEPTH CHARGE, FALL BACK!
[beeping]
AAH!
HIT IT, BOTS. THE MOMENT IS NOW.
TRANSFORM AND FINISH IT.
- UGH, MORE OF THAT SPIDER'S TOYS!
WE'RE WASTING OUR TIME!
[computer beeping]
- AH, NOT IF WHAT I SUSPECT IS--
[buttons beeping]
YES! YES! DINOBOT, RAMPAGE!
INTO THE SUBMERSIBLE AND QUICKLY!
VICTORY MAY YET BE OURS.
- HMM, OUR QUARRY APPEARS TO HAVE VANISHED.
- [grunts] I KNOW THEY WERE HERE.
I CAN STILL SMELL STINK OF X'S SPARK.
HA, I KNEW IT! - DEPTH CHARGE, WAIT.
AW, SLAG.

- SILVERBOLT!
ASIDE, SCRAP HEAP!

- WORRY NOT, MY LOVE, IT'S JUST A
SCRATCH.
- MAYBE.
BUT I'D SAY YOU'RE DUE SOME TIME IN THE CR CHAMBER.
- SIR, I'LL BE FINE. I JUST--
- SHUT UP AND OBEY YOUR COMMANDER, BONE-BRAIN!
- YES, DEAR.
- I'LL ESCORT THEM BACK.
- COME ON, WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO.
[monkeys chatter]
- [laughs]
- THERE! THAT WILL BE OUR NEW COLONY.
- EWW. I DON'T WANNA MOVE IN THERE!
IT'S GOT ALL THEM HAIRY CRITTERS IN IT!
UNLESS--UNLESS YOU MEAN WE'S GONNA SLAG 'EM!
OH, PLEASE, TELL ME THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING!
- THE ROYALTY DEMANDS A NEW COLONY,
AND WE SHALL TAKE IT
BY FORCE.
- YAHOO! NOW YOU'RE TALKING! HOW'S ABOUT IT, BUG-BOY?
YOU READY TO RIP? [laughs]
- NO.
- WHAT?
- BUT THE ROYALTY COMMANDS.
- I SAID NO.
DRAGON-BOT COMMAND YOU, SUB-COMMANDER KISS-BUTT.
DRAGON-BOT NOT COMMAND WASPINATOR, NOT ANYMORE!
WASPINATOR SICK OF BEING EVIL,
SICK OF BEING PREDACON.
AND WASPINATOR ESPECIALLY SICK
OF GETTING BLOWN TO SCRAP ALL THE TIME!
SO WASPINATOR QUIT!
HMM! AS OF NOW--WHICH MEANS ANT-BOT AND TWO-HEAD
CAN JUST PUCKER THEIR MANDIBLES AND PLANT BIG, WET, JUICY ONE
RIGHT HERE ON WASPINATOR'S BIG, FAT, STRIPY--
[whimpering]
- FOR THE GLORY OF THE ROYALTY!
- YEE-HAW!
- [roars]
[howls]
[horns blow]
- [whimpering]
- [laughs]
[yelling, grunting]
- [grunts]
DANG!
THEM LITTLE FLEAPICKERS IS TOUGHER THAN THEY USED TO BE!
[grunts]
- WASPINATOR HAS PLANS.
OW! OW! OW!
WAIT!
FLESHY-BOT LISTEN TO WASPINATOR.
OW!
- X WAS HERE.
AND DINOBOT-- THEY WENT THAT WAY.
FLEEING OUR APPROACH?
- NOT IF I KNOW MEGATRON.
HE'S AFTER SOMETHING.
[buttons beeping]
NEMESIS!
- YOU'RE KIDDING.
- I WISH.
DEPTH CHARGE, WE'VE HAD OUR DIFFERENCES,
BUT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THIS IS BIGGER THAN BOTH OF US.
THEY'RE UNDERWATER, WHICH MEANS
YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE!
WARHEADS ARMED, FULL SPEED TO MAXIMUM!
YOU HAVE TO STOP MEGATRON!
AT ANY COST.
- CONSIDER IT DONE. BEAST MODE!
- JUST A LITTLE FURTHER.
A LITTLE FURTHER.
YES.
- IMPRESSIVE.
- OH, IT IS FAR MORE THAN THAT,
MY MALEVOLENT MINION.
THAT IS THE MOST POWERFUL DECEPTICON WARSHIP
IN TRANSFORMER HISTORY.
THE SHIP THAT SHOT DOWN THE ARK ITSELF.
THE NEMESIS!
THE NEMESIS.
- THIS IS OPTIMUS, ENCODING TRANSMISSION M-SIPHER.
- SCRAMBLERS ON, GO AHEAD.
- THIS IS A CLASS-SEVEN EMERGENCY SITUATION.
DEPTH CHARGE IS PREPARING TO ENGAGE A SUPERIOR FORCE
WITHOUT BACKUP.
TIGERHAWK AND I ARE TRACKING HIS SIGNAL,
BUT WE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH.
PREPARE BASE DEFENSES FOR A FULL ASSAULT.
- WHA--WHAT?
I THOUGHT WE HAD THIS ALL SEWED UP!
- MEGS JUST RIPPED IT WIDE OPEN. OPTIMUS OUT.
- AW, MAN.
IS IT JUST ME, OR DID HE JUST KINDA SAY,
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE"?
- YOU MENTIONED THE NEMESIS.
WHAT IS IT?
- NEMESIS IS THE FLAGSHIP
OF THE ANCIENT DECEPTICON SPACE FLEET.
IT SHOT DOWN THE ARK BEFORE CRASHING ITSELF
SOMEWHERE ON THIS PLANET.
APPARENTLY TARANTULAS FOUND IT, AND NOW MEGATRON MAY HAVE IT.
- AND IF HE DOES?
- THEN PRIMUS HELP THE UNIVERSE.
- EXCELLENT!
EVEN AFTER HIS DEMISE, THE SPIDER'S TREACHERY
REMAINS MY BEST ASSET.
OBSERVE!
A REFURBISHED SHIP WITH A TRANSWARP CELL,
A PREDACON CONTROL CONSOLE,
AND BEST OF ALL, A COVENANT OF PRIMUS.
IT WAS FROM THESE TRACKS THAT I TOOK MY NAME.
AND HOW FITTING, SINCE SPACE AND TIME
ARE NOW MINE TO COMMAND!
- IF THE SHIP FUNCTIONS.
- IT MUST.
QUICKLY. ALL POWER CIRCUITS ON-LINE.
- BY THE MATRIX.
DEPTH CHARGE TO OPTIMUS.
YOU CALLED IT RIGHT. I'M GOING IN.
- CONFIRMED.
AND DEPTH CHARGE
GOOD LUCK.
- YEAH.
- THINK YOU CAN SAVE THE UNIVERSE, FISH-BOY?
DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH.
AAH!
[grunts]
- AAH!
I HAVE NO TIME FOR YOU, X.
- LIKE YOU HAD NO TIME FOR STARBASE RUGBY?
YOU HAD FRIENDS THERE, AS I RECALL.
TASTY ONES TOO.
[grunts]
OH, PATHETIC!
- SHUT UP!
AAH!
- [laughs]
FACE IT, FINS! YOU CAN'T WIN!
- [screams]
- [laughs]
- A LITTLE TENSION, YES. STATUS REPORT.
- POWER CELLS APPROACHING MAXIMUM.
- AAH!
- POWER AT MAXIMUM.
- AND AS IT WERE A GREAT MOUNTAIN
RAGING WITH FIRE AROSE FROM THE SEA!
THRUSTERS ON-LINE.
- I WAS YOUR ASSIGNMENT, AND YOU FAILED.
- [grunts]
- AAH!
- RAW ENERGON.
RIGHT THROUGH YOUR TWISTED SPARK.
TAKE IT.
TAKE IT STRAIGHT TO THE PIT,
YOU SICKENING PIECE OF SLAG.
- [laughs]
- [screams]
- [grunts]
- [screams]
- THESE ARE DEPTH CHARGE'S LAST COORDINATES.
BUT I'M NOT GETTING A-- - [screams]
- BASE TO OPTIMUS!
SCANNERS REPORT A MASSIVE DETONATION OF UNKNOWN TYPE
AT YOUR LOCATION.
WHAT'S THE STATUS?
- HE'S DONE IT. DEPTH CHARGE HAS DONE IT!
IT'S ALL OVER!
- WHOO-HOO! YEAH!
AIN'T I ALWAYS SAID THAT TIN MINNOW
WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE?
- OPTIMUS.
- BUT I'M AFRAID THAT DEPTH CHARGE
HAS PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE.
- NO.
BY THE CODE OF PRIMUS
THE NEMESIS!
