00:00 [thunder]
00:01 Oh, will my torment never end?
00:05 First I had to vie for Megatron's favor against that treacherous Harpy Arachnid.
00:11 Now I must contend with Shockwave and his incorrigible beast.
00:16 Oh, look on the bright side, Starscream.
00:18 At least one of them is currently on ice, locked up tight in the vault of our warship.
00:25 Oh, how I would love to stuff Shockwave and his mangy abomination
00:31 right into that stasis pod beside her.
00:35 The only reason his Project Predacon is currently in full swing
00:40 is because I supervised the acquisition of his dozens of Predacon bones.
00:45 [groaning]
00:47 Will you please keep your lab rat quiet while I'm airing my grievances?
00:53 [groaning]
00:55 Starscream, help me.
00:59 [chuckling]
01:01 My, my, my.
01:03 Whatever have you been inflicting upon poor Silas?
01:08 Ha! Well, anything that merits the need for a living Petri dish.
01:12 [sizzling]
01:16 [thunder]
01:20 [groaning]
01:22 Despite your justifiable lack of regard for his human side,
01:27 it doesn't trouble you to watch what remains of your former partner
01:32 endure your scientific endeavors?
01:36 Not really.
01:37 Besides, Silas once had poor Breakdown pinned to his lab table.
01:42 I think my former partner would be pleased to be a part.
01:47 [groaning]
01:51 What just happened?
01:52 You recall that synthetic energon I recovered from the Autobots?
01:58 Well, I've been reproducing the formula
02:00 to test its viability as an alternative energy source.
02:05 However, the compound remains erratic,
02:09 and there have been side effects.
02:12 Such as?
02:14 [screaming]
02:18 Starscream, I hope you replaced your T-Cog
02:21 because I'm going to tear it out all over again
02:23 and feed it to Knockout!
02:26 This here unbridled aggression.
02:29 Such power and fury.
02:33 Megatron has long desired a beast machine super soldier,
02:38 and we now possess the means of delivering one to him.
02:45 [grunting]

03:24 [music playing]
03:26 Tell me of the Predacon Protophones.
03:44 What is the status of their incubation?
03:48 Hmm.
03:50 Master, if I do say so myself,
03:53 I have made the most intriguing discovery.
03:57 It appears that--
03:58 Not now.
04:00 Please continue, Shockwave.
04:03 No, no one important.
04:05 [grunting]
04:07 Did you speak with our liege about our little enterprise?
04:17 He was otherwise engaged.
04:21 [screaming]
04:25 Oh, I am going to make you suffer
04:29 in ways you will not believe.
04:32 Just how much of this synth N have you given him?
04:36 Two additional doses, three at the most.
04:40 But Silas's increasingly volatile nature isn't the only wrinkle.
04:46 [buzzing]
04:48 It appears that the more green stuff I administer,
05:00 the faster this monstrosity formerly known as Breakdown
05:04 burns through his own natural energon reserves.
05:08 This will not do!
05:10 Megatron already possesses one unruly beast
05:14 with the Predacon of his.
05:16 What good is another freak of nature that cannot be controlled?
05:22 Wait.
05:24 I am a fool.
05:26 Dark energon?
05:30 You are more than a fool, Starscream.
05:34 I think your neural cluster has blown a massive fuse.
05:38 Oh, on the contrary, dear doctor.
05:41 Adding dark energon to the formula should provide Lord Megatron
05:45 with full control over his super soldier.
05:49 Okay, true that Lord Megatron seems to possess a symbiotic link
05:53 to anyone or thing infused with the dark matter,
05:57 allowing him to manipulate them as if they were puppets, but...
06:01 Have you forgotten what the so-called Blood of Unicron did to our warship?
06:06 That was the result of a massive infusion.
06:09 I am suggesting a drop or two,
06:12 nearly enough to allow our master to command his warrior at will.
06:17 Even so, it's too drastic a measure to undertake without Shockwave's approval.
06:22 I do, after all, report to him.
06:26 Not on this project!
06:28 Super soldiers fall under military operations,
06:32 meaning, dear Knockout, that you now report to me.
06:37 Are we clear?
06:39 Wait for it...
06:59 Wait...
07:01 Humans in any form cannot be relied upon.
07:12 It's alive!
07:18 Scrap!
07:25 (Grunting)
07:27 Oh, for the love of... Now what?!
07:40 I tried to tell you before.
07:43 It's a side effect of the synthem.
07:45 He's burned through his own natural reserves.
07:49 Then perhaps we should withhold any infusions for a while.
07:53 Might calm Silas down a bit.
07:56 Make him a tad more manageable.
07:59 Need... Energon...
08:04 (Screaming)
08:08 (Screaming)
08:10 (Grunting)
08:28 (Screaming)
08:36 (Explosion)
08:38 Do you think he's actually trying to...
08:43 Suck out our Energon with that thing?
08:46 If it seems that way...
08:50 See if you can hold him off.
09:01 What?
09:03 Wait for me!
09:05 We need to... Sound the alarm!
09:28 Out of the question. Megatron will undoubtedly hold us responsible.
09:33 But... We are!
09:35 Well, you are mostly.
09:37 Anyway, his lordship doesn't need to know that.
09:40 Not if we handle this the right way.
09:43 Meaning?
09:45 Use your head, Knockout.
09:47 This ship is crawling with highly trained Vehicon troopers, armed for combat.
09:52 The moment Silas attempts to feed, they will neutralize him for us.
09:57 Problem solved.
09:59 Once we recover Silas's body, we must dispose of it as quickly and efficiently as possible.
10:21 No trace of him can be allowed to remain.
10:24 His... Infected body.
10:28 (Screaming)
10:35 Gone. Completely drained of Energon.
10:41 Tell me something, Starscream.
10:43 When you said "problem solved", is this even close to what you had in mind?
10:49 I do not appreciate your tone, Knockout.
10:53 This brewing catastrophe is hardly my fault.
10:57 Well, it certainly isn't mine.
11:00 Oh, no? You're the mastermind who chose to experiment with synthetic Energon.
11:06 And you're the monkey wrench who thought it was a good idea to dabble in voodoo.
11:12 Energon!
11:20 (Screaming)
11:21 I thought you said he had no spark!
11:24 Dark Energon. It reanimates the dead.
11:28 Aim for the head!
11:36 What? How do you know?
11:38 I have seen human horror films.
11:41 At drive-in theaters!
11:45 (Growling)
11:47 Forget the head! Go for the spark!
12:01 We severed its link to the Dark Energon.
12:11 Human horror films wasted time.
12:14 Any time.
12:25 If the mutation can be passed along with a single bite, the entire crew is at risk.
12:36 You're saying Silas could beget more Terracons?
12:41 It could happen.
12:43 And the ensuing feeding frenzy could turn this entire warship into a scrap heap.
12:48 So now can we sound the alarm?
12:51 You there! Have you noticed any unusual activity?
12:58 In this sector?
13:03 (Screaming)
13:05 (Screaming)
13:10 (Grunting)
13:24 (Screaming)
13:31 (Gasping)
13:33 In here!
13:38 Knockout. This situation might be a bit more dire than either of us ever imagined.
13:48 Hmm. I find it rather ironic that after battling Autobots all these years,
13:54 getting smacked down, shot at, blown up, this is how our lights go out?
14:00 Drained of our precious fluids.
14:03 If this is indeed the end, if we are to become Terracon Chau,
14:09 it has been an honor serving Lord Megatron with you.
14:14 You're no breakdown. Though I must confess, I have always admired your lustrous finish.
14:29 Well then.
14:31 Should be going.
14:33 Would either of you like to tell me what exactly is going on?
14:52 Yes. Absolutely nothing, my liege.
14:56 All is quiet. Too quiet. One could even say dull.
15:00 Funny. Because the dark energon within my spark has been pulsing.
15:06 Allow me to handle this.
15:09 It's Knockout's fault!
15:12 Precisely, my what?
15:14 He infused Silas with a cocktail comprised of dark and synthetic energon,
15:19 creating a monstrous mutation which is now on the verge of turning your entire crew
15:24 into mindless energon-sucking Terracons!
15:27 I do not know from what madness your yawns spring, Starscream,
15:34 but if I learn that you have been dabbling with my dark energon stores again,
15:40 attempting to infuse yourself with its formidable power...
15:44 My liege?
15:46 Let me just say, you have been awarded more chances for redemption
15:52 than anyone in Decepticon history!
15:56 Hey, you there! What are you doing?
16:04 I order you! Stand down!
16:07 We did try to tell you.
16:21 Then why can I not command the monster to follow my bidding?
16:27 While the trace of dark energon should have granted you control over these ghouls,
16:33 I believe the synthetic component may be corrupting your link to them.
16:38 Initiate high alert!
16:40 Instruct all troops to keep their distance from the mutations and terminate on sight!
16:48 Your fate, however, remains to be seen.
16:52 Why are you still here?
16:58 Find this creation of yours and eradicate it immediately!
17:04 I realize Lord Megatron's only doing this to punish us,
17:13 but how are we the best choice to hunt down Cyrus?
17:17 Why not deploy his beloved beast machine super soldier?
17:22 After all, it is supposed to be the ultimate hunter.
17:25 Out of the question!
17:27 Can you imagine if the Predacon became infested?
17:31 Nothing could stop it!
17:34 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
18:03 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
18:10 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
18:23 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
18:26 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
18:28 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
18:40 Imagine!
18:42 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
18:53 Breakdown?
18:55 Did I not exterminate you once already?
18:59 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
19:04 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
19:33 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
19:51 Imagine!
19:53 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
20:10 Second time's the charm.
20:14 But to be certain,
20:17 I shall remove your very spark.
20:22 Silas!
20:24 Whatever have they done to you?
20:28 But more importantly,
20:30 thank you for freeing me.
20:33 No, thank you.
20:41 Whatever.
20:45 Spectacons, heed me.
20:53 Your queen has returned.
21:12 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
21:23 Our ordeal is finally over.
21:26 Or not.
21:32 Scrap!
21:33 Starscream, have you made contact with the Plaguebringer?
21:38 Actually, my liege, I have good news.
21:42 And bad news.
21:45 [Growls]
21:47 [Metal Gear Solid 4 Sound Effects]
21:53 Loyal servants, the time is now.
21:56 Lay waste to all Decepticons.
22:00 Leave no trace of them in your wake.
22:07 Soundwave!
22:18 I vow that on this day,
22:20 the world will hear the sound of your screams.
22:41 [Screams]
22:50 No!
23:03 Yes.
23:04 The containment protocol you recommended
23:07 to prevent any further outbreak is now underway.
23:12 Oh, and Shockwave,
23:14 having just lost more than half our military might,
23:18 I cannot stress enough the importance of Project Predacon.
23:23 See if you can speed things along, will you?
23:29 Knockout, need I remind you that as the ship's medic,
23:34 you report directly to Shockwave, not Starscream.
23:38 Understood, Master.
23:40 Just to be sure,
23:42 you will hand over all of your projects to him immediately,
23:48 including this synthetic energon.
23:53 As you wish, my liege.
23:55 And as for you...
23:58 Lord Megatron, if you would just allow me to explain things...
24:03 No. Allow me to explain things
24:07 in a manner which I know you'll understand.
24:16 Your Majesty, we await your command.
24:24 Approach me. Serve your queen.
24:42 [Screams]
