00:05 [Lightning strikes] [Lightning strikes]
00:07 Huh? A-a-a-abandoned mine?
00:12 Come, Starscream.
00:15 [Lightning strikes] [Lightning strikes]
00:19 [Lightning strikes] [Lightning strikes]
00:38 Resulting in the loss of the Insecticon hive and over half our remaining troops.
00:44 Forgive me, Master. My intentions were true.
00:49 Please, please reconsider my termination.
00:54 [Growls]
00:56 [Lightning strikes]
01:03 Oh, Shockwave's off-site laboratory.
01:07 Most impressive.
01:09 [Music]
01:20 The Predacon clones have almost fully evolved and will be combat ready within three solar cycles.
01:28 Well done, Shockwave.
01:31 Knockout!
01:32 I'm waiting.
01:35 On my way, Lord Megatron.
01:37 [Lightning strikes]
01:39 [Lightning strikes]

01:43 [Lightning strikes]
01:45 [Lightning strikes]
01:47 [Lightning strikes]
01:49 [Lightning strikes]
01:51 Synthetic Energon. Troops will be delivering my remaining supply to you.
01:57 I will determine its value after Lord Megatron's Predacon army is ready for deployment.
02:05 [Lightning strikes]
02:07 [Lightning strikes]
02:09 [Lightning strikes]
02:11 [Lightning strikes]
02:13 [Lightning strikes]
02:15 Unruly beast. You dare to roam freely without permission!
02:21 [Lightning strikes]
02:23 [Lightning strikes]
02:25 [Lightning strikes]
02:27 [Lightning strikes]
02:29 [Lightning strikes]
02:31 [Storm rumbles]
02:33 Strike me again, and I will bury that rod in your spark.

03:19 [Music]
03:33 I did not realize that the beast was
03:44 a human.
03:47 And I... I am no beast.
03:50 The ability to transform is a fundamental part of Cybertronian biology.
04:04 We simply possessed no evidence that the Predacon species ever reached that evolutionary stage
04:11 once they became extinct in the Great Cataclysm.
04:15 And now we know.
04:18 So, the rumors are true.
04:21 I will no longer be alone.
04:23 And I see you've been keeping secrets.
04:27 It was not my intention to deceive you, Lord Megatron.
04:31 I only recently became aware of my abilities.
04:35 All I remember of my beginning is hunting.
04:41 And battle.
04:44 And the wounding of my pride.
04:48 Thus I begun to burn with questions.
04:52 Who am I? Where did I come from?
04:57 The warship's databanks provided historical fact.
05:01 But still I possess no memory of my own past.
05:05 So I begun to reconsider my place in the present.
05:09 And wondered, could I be like the others?
05:13 And now I know.
05:18 Yet you are unique.
05:20 Miracle science.
05:22 Cloned by shockwave from cybernucleic acid.
05:26 Recovered from the remains of your mighty ancestors.
05:31 [Dramatic music]
05:35 Doctor, what is the current status of your synthetic energon experiments?
05:43 Doing the best I can, Commander.
05:45 Given the lack of functional equipment at my disposal.
05:49 You do realize that an alternative energy source may be essential to our survival?
05:55 Believe me, Ultra Magnus. No one is more acutely aware of the stakes than I am.
06:04 Of course.
06:09 Beast Hunters, may I ask why you are not currently scouting Grid 305 for Predacon bones?
06:19 Because we just returned from surveying Grids 301 to 304?
06:24 [Clears throat]
06:25 To log our field reports per your protocol, Commander Magnus. Sir.
06:31 Soldier, I don't recall giving you permission to leave the base.
06:39 Because you didn't, sir.
06:42 Why are your hands smeared with coolant?
06:45 I recalibrated your ship's engines.
06:49 You can expect a 10% increase in vector thrust.
06:53 [Engines roar]
06:56 Welcome back, Optimus. Good to see you.
07:03 Good to have you back, Optimus.
07:05 Decepticon activity is at a lull.
07:09 I fear that Megatron may have collected the specimens he requires to...
07:15 clone his army.
07:22 It is with deepest gratitude for my creation that I pledge undying obedience to you, my one true master.
07:32 But with more of my species soon to stride among us, I beg your permission to in turn lead them as Predaking.
07:44 Your vision is boundless.
07:49 [Rumbling]
07:53 A former beast may fully believe himself to be a loyal servant today, but trust me, the moment our Royal Highness...
08:04 realizes that his army possesses greater might than what currently remains of the Decepticons...
08:12 Evolution will give way to revolution.
08:16 I am left with no choice but to eradicate the Predacon clones before they are provided the opportunity to eradicate us.
08:30 [Rumbling]
08:33 Lord Megatron, you're not saying you intend to pull the plug on Shockwave's beloved Project Predacon?
08:44 Your conclusion is most logical, my liege.
08:49 But what happens if that fire-breathing brute discovers our treachery?
08:54 Why assume that we will be the ones to perform the deed?
09:00 After all, if the Predaking were to discover that, say, the Autobots were responsible for wiping out his comrades...
09:10 how Resident Beast might in turn destroy our hated enemies for us?
09:18 Or they him?
09:22 [Rumbling]
09:29 Ultra Magnus...
09:31 [Rumbling]
09:33 Something has been troubling you.
09:37 I fear that my command style may be having a negative effect on unit morale.
09:43 Your service is most welcome, old friend.
09:47 But this is not the Elite Guard.
09:51 Things have changed since the war for Cybertron.
09:54 And we must adapt to that change.
09:58 The members of Team Prime are not cogs in a machine.
10:03 They have grown into something greater than an army.
10:07 They have become...
10:09 Optimus! Our scanners have detected exposed Energon.
10:14 With our reserves at a critical low, we cannot afford not to investigate.
10:32 Decepticons, step away from the Energon and surrender.
10:38 [Explosions]
10:42 [Explosions]
10:46 [Explosions]
11:13 [Explosions]
11:16 Look at all that sweet fuel.
11:30 Stealth Team, transport our cargo back to base.
11:36 Wreckers, reconnoiter the mine.
11:39 I've always wanted to roll with the Wreckers.
11:43 Uh, sir?
11:47 No Energon signals.
11:56 And no additional security.
11:59 Something doesn't smell right.
12:03 [Rattling]
12:06 Pair off.
12:17 [Rattling]
12:29 [Rattling]
12:32 Well, this is one whole lot of ugly.
12:43 Megatron's cloning operation seems further along than we anticipated.
12:58 [Explosions]
13:01 Starscream, the Autobots have arrived.
13:04 You did not inform me that your plan was already in motion.
13:08 Only so the whole affair would appear less... staged.
13:13 I have yet to purge my lab of sensitive materials.
13:16 Then do not let me keep you, Shockwave.
13:20 Over and out.
13:23 You scrapped him on purpose, didn't you?
13:28 [Laser fire]
13:31 Soundwave, I require an immediate ground bridge.
13:35 [Laser fire]
13:38 [Explosion]
13:45 [Laser fire]
13:48 [Explosion]
13:55 [Laser fire]
13:58 Lord Megatron.
14:21 It seems Project Predacon has fallen into Autobot hands.
14:26 How is this possible?
14:28 Starscream, scramble your Seeker armada.
14:31 At once, my liege.
14:34 No.
14:36 If my brethren are imperiled, I will confront the enemy.
14:42 [Laser fire]
14:46 [Laser fire]
15:13 [Screeching]
15:16 Permission to employ a grenade in a confined space, sir?
15:23 If you and I are all that stand between these monsters and the natives of this planet,
15:29 then by all means, blow these beasts back to the rust age.
15:34 [Beeping]
15:38 [Beeping]
15:41 [Beeping]
15:49 [Beeping]
16:06 [Beeping]
16:09 [Beeping]
16:20 Who's this guy?
16:23 The very same who has previously allowed you to live, but will not today.
16:29 He's the Predacon.
16:33 [Laser fire]
16:36 Whoa, what was that?
16:52 [Laser fire]
17:00 What have you done to my brethren?
17:04 What have you done?
17:09 [Screaming]
17:12 [Screaming]
17:16 [Laser fire]
17:27 [Grunting]
17:30 [Sigh]
17:33 Well, then, let's dance.
17:36 [Grunting]
17:39 [Laser fire]
17:44 [Laser fire]
17:54 [Laser fire]
17:57 [Grunting]
18:09 [Grunting]
18:20 [Laser fire]
18:23 [Grunting]
18:31 [Laser fire]
18:40 [Laser fire]
18:49 [Laser fire]
18:52 [Laser fire]
18:55 [Laser fire]
19:02 [Laser fire]
19:17 [Laser fire]
19:20 [Grunting]
19:37 [Laser fire]
19:44 [Laser fire]
20:11 [Laser fire]
20:14 [Laser fire]
20:18 [Laser fire]
20:33 [Laser fire]
20:41 [Laser fire]
20:44 [Laser fire]
20:50 [Laser fire]
20:55 [Grunting]
21:07 [Sigh]
21:10 And here I was just beginning to tolerate you.
21:14 It's been an honor serving beside you, soldier.
21:18 [Grunting]
21:22 Prepare to perish.
21:29 [Grunting]
21:32 [Laser fire]
21:36 [Laser fire]
21:39 [Laser fire]
21:58 [Grunting]
22:02 [Laser fire]
22:05 [Laser fire]
22:08 [Laser fire]
22:17 [Laser fire]
22:29 [Laser fire]
22:32 [Laser fire]
22:40 [Sigh]
22:52 Ratchet will take good care of you.
22:56 [Music]
22:59 Magnus fought like a wrecker.
23:02 Optimus, when we spoke earlier, what could be greater than an army?
23:10 A human concept, one I have learned since coming to Earth.
23:17 Family.
23:25 [Music]
23:28 Do not despair, my Predaking.
23:33 [Grunting]
23:35 For I vow to you that the Autobots will pay dearly for the outrage against your kind.
23:44 Shockwave, report.
23:48 It is true, my liege. Project Predacon has been rendered null and void.
23:54 At least I have been unable to recover any beast forms.
23:58 However, there is something you must behold for yourself.
24:02 [Laser fire]
24:05 What is this?
24:15 Pure Cybertronian cyber matter.
24:18 Not unlike that which once existed upon our primeval homeworld.
24:23 Or that which engendered my citadel here on Earth.
24:29 The result of the explosion?
24:32 Indeed. Yet the cybernucleic acid alone could not account for these cyberforms.
24:39 All possible logic points to the presence of one unexpected variable.
24:45 Synthetic Energon.
