( gasps )
No. No. No.
( explosion then alarm blaring )
COMPUTER: This is a code 1 emergency.
Predacon attack. Sentinel disabled.
Damage report.
Top side auto-gun destroyed.
Rattrap, get that backup cannon online.
Ehh, don't get your bananas in a bunch.
I'm on it, okay?
Rwarr! I'm here, fellow fighters.
What can I do?
Well,
to start with, you can get maximized, fuzz-butt.
Oh, yeah. I forgot.
Cheetor, maximize!
( growls )
Man, I swear, them polka dots go clear through to the brain.
( screams )
( Dinobot growling )
Now. While they are distracted.
( growls )
( grunts ) We're breached.
Open the roof hatch.
That's it. Yes.
( grunts )
( groans )
( buzzing )
( screeches )
Now, fall back.
( growling )
Now he tells me.
( grunts )
( Tarantulas screams )
( grunts )
You're not leaving the party this early.
Trouble with the neighbors again.
Airazor, maximize!
( cries )
( both grunting )
( screams )
Optimus!
( grunts )
( both laugh )
( dramatic theme playing )
( grunts )
Need a lift, big guy?
Airazor, you're hit.
Drag, isn't it?
( screams )
Huh? Optimus!
( groaning )
Airazor.
She took a bad hit.
It'll be days before repairs are completed.
We've got another problem too.
( Cheetor groaning )
Hey. What the--? Hey!
Energon field build up.
What the cheese?
We're inside the base.
That's what I was trying to tell you.
Beast mode!
The Predacons took our rectifier coil.
Without it, the base is no longer energon shielded.
Oh, man.
You mean we gotta wear these fur coats day and night?
That could be a problem.
( suspenseful theme playing )
( Megatron laughs )
Perfect.
The Maximals are now forced to remain in beast mode,
even inside their base.
The effect should soon be noticeable,
but beyond their control. Yes.
And when that happens
we strike!
Whoa! Aah!
( thuds )
( cackling )
( all laugh )
( cackles )
( suspenseful theme playing )
( screams )
( alarm beeping )
Pred signatures are still out there.
Been two days now.
Optimus?
( snoring ) Optimus!
( dramatic theme playing )
( Optimus grunting )
RHINOX: Optimus?
Optimus! Huh?
Ooh. What? ( explosion outside )
Ah. Enemy?
( explosions outside )
Just shaking us up. Not an attack. Yet.
But none of us have slept in two days.
( grunts )
Man, I hate working with these short little arms and legs.
I wanna maximize.
Ah! No. Energon will build up.
If the Preds attack, you'll have less fight time.
Man! If you weren't such a chicken, then maybe--
( roars )
( hissing )
( grunts )
( hisses ) ( roars )
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
( sighs )
Ugh. What's happening to us?
We've been in beast mode too long.
( Rattrap groans )
I'm a robot trapped in a rat's body!
And the rat is taking over.
We must fight it.
Tigatron! He must've dealt with this.
I sent a message by laser.
I just hope he gets it.
COMPUTER: Attention.
Predacon energy signatures are leaving the area.
Ooh-hoo. It's about time.
( yawns )
Put defenses on auto.
I got some serious snoozing to do.
For once, Rattrap,
you get no argument from me.
( crickets chirping )
( grunting )
( groaning )
( dramatic theme playing )
( Optimus grunting )
Huh?
( gasping )
( creatures growling ) Aah!

( roaring )
( Megatron laughing )
Exactly as my research on Maximal programming postulated.
Yes! The beast forms have taken over.
In their exhaustion, they are sleep prowling.
Which means that, tonight, we hunt!
( cackling )
( pounding tribal beat )
( dramatic theme playing )
( chuckles )
( roars )
Blast!
Well, if at first you don't succeed,
try, try again.
Flyers, spread out.
Hunt down the other Maximals and destroy them.
Yes.
But Optimus Primal is mine.
Forward.
( dramatic theme playing )
Wh-What's happening?
What's going on?
It's called a hunt.
The night is wild. And we have much to do.
( dramatic theme playing )
( both laughing )
Waspinator love it when prey cannot shoot back.
Hunting from the air with automatic weapons.
Now that's a sport.
( laughs )
( mysterious theme playing )
( cries )
( panting )
( growling )
( gasping )
( panting )
( growling )
( roars )
( both growling )
( grunts )
( explosion nearby )
( mysterious theme playing )
( ominous theme playing )
Lights are on. But nobody's home.
Except the automated defenses, of course.
Oh, well.
She stoops to conquer.
( dramatic theme playing )
( panting )
( Dinobot growling )
( growls )
( sniffs )
( explosion ) ( grunts )
( leaves rustle )
( growling )
( roars )
( sighs )
( drums beating in distance )
Huh?
( crickets chirping )
( roars )
( growls )
Hear me, fellow Maximals.
( heavy breathing )
I know you are frightened. But I can help you.
Access Maximal core consciousness.
Passcode: Tigatron.
COMPUTER: Passcode accepted. Passcode accepted.
( all growling )
Silence!
Hmm.
That's better.
Now listen well. And learn.
( suspenseful theme playing )
Oh, come on.
You can't tell me old Megs would have forgotten a booby trap.
Oh. You gotta love him.
Now, if only Stripes is doing okay.
Once, we were merely robots in disguise.
But on this planet,
we Maximals have become something more.
Maximal programming was designed to block our beast urges.
But that has proven to be an error.
Our beast forms are part of us.
Fighting their nature only made them stronger.
We must accept both beast and robot forms.
( chitters )
Feel your core consciousness.
Find the programming block and delete it.
Bring your beast and robot forms together.
Let them work in harmony.
And let them both make you stronger than you were before.
( growling )
COMPUTER: Programming block deleted.
( grunting ) Programming block deleted.
( roaring ) Programming block deleted.
( growls ) Programming block deleted.
Ah. Yes.
I understand.
Rat, robot. Rat, robot.
Heh. I'm a robot and a rat.
Heh-Heh. Yeah. Yeah, I like it.
Hmph. I do not see why.
Unh. I get it now.
Ah, thanks, Tigatron. ( explosion )
Whoa! And talk about your nick of time.
Remember. Do not fight your beast instincts.
Let them help your robot forms.
Both in battle and in peace.
But for now, let us maximize.
And slag some butt!
( all chattering )
OPTIMAL: All right, let's do it!
( mysterious theme playing )
( pounding tribal beat )
Uh-oh.
( yelling )
( screams )
( roars )
( snarls )
( screams )
( both gasp )
( roars )
( grunts )
Heh. Didn't expect that, did you?
Huh?
( grunting )
( yells )
( grunts )
( dramatic rock theme playing )
( grunting )
( grunting )
Unh! Energon buildup.
The hunt has gone too long. Predacons, retreat!
( screeches )
All right!
Beast or bot, we're still the baddest. Yeah!
( cries )
And it looks like things will be back to normal.
Maybe even better.
( all roaring and cheering )
