00:00 Sharkwave! I thought you'd perished on Cybertron.
00:05 The patch failed to yield any new information on the whereabouts of the Autobots.
00:10 I'd know the hum of that engine anywhere.
00:18 Jackie!
00:19 We can't just give up.
00:21 Then tell me what we can do.
00:24 We know Starscream had access to Groundbridge.
00:27 He's clearly been using the Harbinger.
00:29 He must be full of Cybertronian tech.
00:32 Resources won't be of much use.
00:35 Not without someone to lead us.
00:38 The Forge.
00:40 If you had the Forge, you could fix yourself up.
00:43 Meet Ultra Magnus.
00:50 I present to you, my liege,
00:54 the ultimate Autobot hunter.
00:59 [ROAR]
01:25 A Predacon.
01:28 They've been extinct since the beginning of Cybertronian history.
01:33 Indeed.
01:35 But the specimen you see before you was bred in the laboratory.
01:42 Cloned from fossilized remains, which I discovered on Cybertron.
01:47 Sharkwave.
01:49 It does my spa good to see you once again.
01:52 Tampering with creation.
01:55 Master, please, keep your distance.
01:59 No need for alarm.
02:01 The beast is completely under my control.
02:05 [ROAR]
02:07 Such primal magnificence.
02:12 A sample of Energon from Wheeljack.
02:17 Spilled during the Autobots' failed interrogation.
02:22 Let the hunt begin.
02:36 [ROAR]
02:39 [ROAR]
02:41 [ROAR]
02:43 [ROAR]
02:51 [ROAR]
03:19 [ROAR]
03:21 Guys, you know I'm all for blowing the scrap out of stuff.
03:42 But what does flattening a Decepticon mine have to do with getting the band back together and taking down Megatron?
03:48 Simple. When we light up this place, the blast will be big and unmistakable.
03:54 Any Autobot within 500 clicks will see the sky glowing with Energon and come running.
04:01 Then bring the rain.
04:04 Mainframe's up and running.
04:11 But I'll need help hacking the operating codes.
04:15 Even if the ground bridge proves functional, it will be next to worthless without a means of pinpointing the current locations of our compatriots.
04:23 Use your head, Bumblebee.
04:28 If the Decepticons had the ability to track Autobot signals, we'd have all been at Megatron's mercy here on Earth a long time ago.
04:37 Back where we started.
04:41 But not if I can reconfigure these Decepticon frequencies.
04:46 At the very least, we may be able to access their comm link.
04:51 No one's seen or heard from you since Cybertron went dark.
04:57 How did you find your way to Earth?
04:59 Soldier, we may not be on Cybertron, but military protocol remains.
05:05 My apologies, sir.
05:08 Sir?
05:10 Advise the native lifeform to watch its tone as well.
05:15 What? Who is this guy?
05:18 Ultra Magnus was Optimus' key lieutenant during the war back on Cybertron.
05:23 Very by the book. Just go with it.
05:26 As for your broader question, my story is that of all Autobots since the Exodus.
05:33 I wandered the spaceways in search of others.
05:37 Uniting with some. Often only to see them fall at the hands of the Decepticons.
05:44 Until you detected the Omega Beam and followed it here.
05:47 If you're referring to the massive energy burst originating from Cybertron, that would be affirmative.
05:54 Upon my arrival, it became evident that this planet had been invaded.
05:59 My scanners also detected Autobot life signals, yours being in closest proximity to my position.
06:06 Signals? As in plural?
06:10 Sir, five total. Out of seven.
06:15 Jack, that doesn't necessarily mean what you're thinking.
06:19 Autobot signals can't be detected when they're shielded.
06:26 Cozy little place you built for yourself, Megatron.
06:30 Finding the forge in there may take a while.
06:35 Then again, maybe you still keep your valuables in the usual place.
06:42 (Rumbling)
07:08 I won't let you down, Optimus.
07:10 I'm sorry.
07:11 Overreacting? Easy for you to say, "Knockout."
07:16 Nobody here wants your post.
07:19 I, on the other hand, hold the most coveted position within the Decepticon ranks.
07:25 And no matter what he may claim, I know that shockwave is plotting to usurp me.
07:32 Did you see the smug look in his eye when he unveiled that vile beast to Lord Megatron?
08:01 Don't scare me, ugly.
08:03 Hello, beautiful.
08:30 Munitions planted.
08:32 Let's get this party started.
08:35 Company.
08:37 Megatron?
08:39 Nah. Bigger.
08:42 I don't remember seeing that move at Buckethead's repertoire.
08:52 (Rumbling)
09:19 A dragon? Where'd the Khans get a dragon?
09:23 What's a dragon?
09:25 Giant, flying, fire-breathing lizard.
09:28 (Screams)
09:33 (Screams)
09:45 (Rumbling)
09:47 (Grunts)
09:59 (Grunts)
10:11 (Grunts)
10:13 Vulcan!
10:15 You okay?
10:17 Easy. I may be hot to the touch.
10:20 Why isn't it coming after us?
10:24 You looking for me, beast? I'm right here.
10:32 (Grunts)
10:34 We're gonna need more firepower.
10:46 Good thing I know just where to find some.
10:49 Incoming!
11:00 Autobots!
11:02 (Screams)
11:11 (Rumbling)
11:37 And the walls keep tumbling down.
11:41 Yes! Snuff the tragic dragon.
12:06 We're toast.
12:08 One of ours? Does it matter?
12:25 (Rumbling)
12:27 (Screams)
12:30 (Screams)
12:49 (Grunts)
12:51 Hey.
13:09 (Speaking French)
13:17 Nico! Can't breathe.
13:20 Weakling.
13:23 Thanks for the save.
13:26 Thank the commander.
13:28 Soldiers?
13:32 You?
13:33 Ultra Magnus? It's an honor.
13:37 It's an honor, sir.
13:42 Guess blowing that mine made us pretty easy to spot.
13:47 Ultra Magnus already had a bead on your signals. And ours.
13:51 Care to tell us what exactly's nipping at our tailpipes?
13:55 We think it's a robot dragon.
13:58 Or a Cybertronian reptile.
14:03 (Rumbling)
14:05 Brace yourselves.
14:17 (Grunts)
14:19 (Screams)
14:22 (Grunts)
14:25 (Rumbling)
14:27 (Grunts)
14:47 (Screams)
14:49 (Grunts)
15:13 (Rumbling)
15:15 (Grunts)
15:32 It's right on top of us.
15:36 (Screams)
15:38 (Screams)
15:49 (Screams)
15:57 (Rumbling)
15:59 (Grunts)
16:13 (Grunts)
16:15 (Screams)
16:21 (Grunts)
16:28 (Screams)
16:33 (Rumbling)
16:35 (Ringing)
17:01 What is it now, Lord Megatron?
17:04 Agent Fowler, it's Ratchet.
17:06 Ratchet? Where's Jack? Is he with you?
17:09 No, he is not.
17:11 Listen, we don't have much time.
17:13 I have taken a tremendous yet calculated risk in contacting you.
17:18 Hopefully the Decepticons are not monitoring their own frequencies
17:22 as closely as they no doubt are those of the humans.
17:25 I am transmitting our current coordinates.
17:28 (Beeping)
17:30 (Beeping)
17:32 What?
17:33 Ratchet, have you heard from anyone else?
17:36 What about Prime?
17:38 (Beeping)
17:55 (Beeping)
17:57 It's one of ours.
18:05 Raph!
18:23 (Grunts)
18:25 Girl's got a grip, doesn't she?
18:31 You're alive.
18:39 Ultra Magnus.
18:48 Doctor?
18:51 What a grave disappointment this must be for you, Master.
18:56 And to make matters worse, because it cannot speak,
19:01 we have no way of knowing why the Predacon failed so miserably.
19:07 Poor, mute, mindless creature.
19:11 (Beeping)
19:16 New paint job looks good, B.
19:18 At least you had something to work with.
19:20 If I reversed my colors, I'd be pink.
19:23 The communications link needs further calibration
19:26 to be compatible with Autobot frequencies.
19:29 The ground bridge, however, is fully operational.
19:33 That would have come in handy
19:35 when Robo-Dragon was trying to eat us for breakfast.
19:38 The indigenous population of this planet,
19:42 do they all display the same disregard for authority?
19:47 No. Mostly just, Meeko.
19:50 No! Don't shoot!
19:57 It's Thaler. He's with us.
20:15 (Groaning)
20:17 It's okay, Mom. I'm fine.
20:23 (Groaning)
20:26 Your families are safe.
20:30 Agent Fowler saw to it that Jasper was evacuated in time.
20:34 The only signals Ultra Magnus was able to isolate are standing right here.
20:38 Maybe his scanner's faulty, so the kid's unaccounted for.
20:43 Smokescreen bridged out unaccompanied.
20:45 Only Optimus knows where.
20:47 And Optimus remained behind
20:50 to destroy the ground bridge,
20:53 to ensure that everyone else made it to safety.
20:58 I watched the base go down.
21:02 No one or thing walked out of there.
21:06 Not that we could see.
21:08 Even if Prime survived,
21:10 I'm not sure we can afford to wait for him to show up.
21:13 Not with Megatron holding our planet hostage
21:16 from his high and mighty perch at Darkmount.
21:19 I would be inclined to agree with the native lifeform.
21:23 We must stop Megatron,
21:25 with or without Optimus Prime.
21:39 Optimus!
21:41 I have the Forge.
21:43 You can use it to repair yourself.
21:46 That...
21:48 is not the reason
21:50 I had you retrieve the relic.
21:53 What? I don't understand.
21:56 The power of the Forge
22:00 is not unlimited.
22:03 Its energy has already begun
22:07 to ebb.
22:09 So it's running low.
22:11 Who cares?
22:13 All we need is enough juice to get you back into fighting shape.
22:17 Whatever power remains
22:21 must be used
22:24 to rebuild the Omega Lock,
22:28 to restore Cybertron.
22:32 But that would mean...
22:34 the fate of all our kind
22:38 is more vital
22:42 than that of any one of us,
22:47 including me.
22:51 We must do everything in our power
23:00 to ensure Megatron's downfall.
23:03 We will need to be smart about it.
23:05 Whoa, who puts shoulder pads in command?
23:08 Temporary command.
23:10 Ultra Magnus is the only logical choice.
23:14 He was trained by Optimus
23:16 and served as his commanding officer
23:18 throughout the war for Cybertron.
23:21 Now, unless there is any further objection,
23:24 soldier,
23:26 please follow me.
23:31 Aye, aye, Captain.
23:33 Autobots!
23:48 Take your pick.
23:53 Now you're speaking my language, sir.
24:00 Optimus, the Forge is a relic of the Primes.
24:04 We can't use it to restore Cybertron.
24:07 Not without a Prime.
24:09 Not without you.
24:11 There will be
24:14 a new Prime.
24:17 You can worry about that after we get you patched up
24:21 and we take down Megatron.
24:26 Time for a new leader
24:30 is upon us.
24:33 In my spark,
24:37 I believe
24:40 that leader stands before me right now.
