Optimus is insane to waste my talents on a futile hunt.
Rhinox thinks those alien sites are dangerous.
Optimus wants us to find as many as we--
( Inferno yelling )
For the royalty!
( cackling )
( dramatic rock theme playing )
( Cheetor screaming )
( both grunt )
CHEETOR: We got company!
( Dinobot growling )
( yelling )
Ha, ha! You're food for the colony, Maximals! Aah!
Oh, Inferno not wait for your signal.
So much for surprise.
You take the cat. I'll support Inferno.
( giggles )
( screeches )
( grunting )
( groans )
Waspinator waits for signal.
( grunting )
( Inferno yelling )
Unh! That is one tough--
( grunting )
( laughing )
Attack!
( chuckles )
( grunting )
( Inferno laughing )
Oops.
( screeching )
( grunts )
Do something!
Terrorsaur has not given signal!
Attack, you imbecile!
Waspinator will engage enemy.
Cheetor to all units.
Dinobot is down, and I'm under heavy Pred fire.
Code R.
( over radio ): Repeat, Code R!
Acknowledged. Hang on, Cheetor.
Maximize!
( dramatic theme playing )
( buzzing )
( Waspinator giggles )
Ooh! Waspinator sees good target.
( grunting )
Oh, no.
( Waspinator screaming )
( grunting )
Tiger-bot! ( growling )
Hey! You're half-right, Predacon.
( Waspinator grunting )
Waspinator cannot fly!
Going to crash!
( both grunting )
( Waspinator screams )
( both grunt )
( bomb whirring )
( grunts )
Ah. Way cool, big cat.
( screams )
Beast mode.
( both grunt )
( cackling )
( both screaming )
( cackling )
I'll deal with this one. Tigatron, maximize!
The royalty commands your wreckage,
destroyer of my colony.
Give my regards to The Pit, Predacon.
( screams )
( suspenseful theme playing )
( dramatic theme playing )
Snowstalker!
( ominous theme playing )
( grunting )
No, no, no!
( gasps )
( growling )
( somber theme playing )
( somber theme playing )
Goodbye, Snowstalker.
Let your hunting grounds shelter you now.
( somber theme playing )
I cannot do this again.
It's It's never easy to bury a friend.
But it is too easy to do this.
( ominous theme playing )
CHEETOR: We had no choice. The Preds--
Predacon or Maximal, what is the difference?
In my lust for battle,
I caused the death of an innocent.
( Dinobot growls )
There are no innocents.
This is war. And this
Well, this is simply a battlefield.
We made it so!
And every time we do, this world suffers.
But I will have no more of it.
From this moment on,
I am no longer part of the Beast Wars.
( growls )
You would desert in the face of an enemy?
You wouldn't. You-- You can't.
( tense theme playing )
My decision is made, little cat.
Farewell.
CHEETOR: Tigatron!
INFERNO: So the tiger no longer wishes to fight.
( laughs )
Inferno to Terrorsaur and Waspinator.
Regroup on my coordinates.
I don't believe this. Now what are we gonna do?
Predacons know how to deal with those who won't fight.
( growls )
Or
go back to base. You need repair.
( growls ) Hey, wait, Dinobot!
( dramatic theme playing )
Thank the Matrix.
( ominous theme playing )
We must return to base.
The royalty commanded
we capture the Maximals invading our colony.
Will you explain our failure to him?
Oh. Uh, Megatron not like failure.
Yes. Royalty--
Uh, I mean Megatron. --has been a bit testy lately.
We'll do it! ( giggles )
But we close the trap on my signal.
( chuckles )
Oh, Waspinator likes signals.
( giggles )
( Terrorsaur screeches )
( Inferno laughing )
( grunts )
Head back to base and contact Rhinox
as soon as you're in range.
I want backup as soon as I can get it.
What do you think's gonna happen?
( dramatic theme playing )
I don't know.
( crickets chirping )
( twig snaps )
( footsteps approaching )
( growling softly )
( gasps )
( both growling )
You have the instincts of a warrior.
You know when danger's approaching.
( growling )
Why do you stalk me?
Totalk.
I have nothing more to say.
Then look!
( tense theme playing )
( growling )
( screeching )
That is the law of the jungle.
The hunters and the hunted.
Scrap or be scrapped.
Animals hunt to survive.
And what do you think war is about?
Maximals may believe in peace,
but Predacons
You do not really know the Predacons.
We-- They
live for the glory of conquest.
( dramatic theme playing )
If Megatron takes the energon wealth of this world unopposed,
he will begin a war.
A war that will destroy Cybertron and shatter galaxies,
until only one side survives.
( Megatron laughing )
DINOBOT: It has been this way for hundreds of stellar cycles.
Ever since Autobot and Decepticon
first began the great war.
Hm. Peace will never come until someone agrees not to fight.
The Predacons will not allow it.
They will destroy you or reprogram you.
They will not find me.
No
I found you.
( both growling )
I do not wish to fight you.
You have no choice, coward!
If you're not with us, then you're against us.
( both growling )
Stay away!
Make me!
( roars )
I will not do this!
Fine!
Then die!
( growling )
( dramatic theme playing )
( growling )
( growling )
A Predacon wouldn't miss.
Now return to your duty.
No!
( growls )
Well, so be it.
( roars )
Stand down, Dinobot, now!
No! This must not be allowed!
That's an order!
( sighs )
Don't you at least want to say something to him?
Yes.
I'm sorry about your friend.
I know how much she meant to you.
( growls )
Aah! Sentiment!
The more time I spend with you Maximals,
the more I wonder how you survived so long.
I'm returning to my duties.
Tigatron, I hate this war as much as any of us.
All the more reason to stop it.
We don't belong here, Optimus.
But we are here. And as Maximals,
we've got a duty to explore and defend this world.
( ominous theme playing )
Ooh! That's not tiger-bot!
Who cares? Dinobot will make an even better prize.
Fan out. We'll ambush him as he leaves the forest.
( screeches )
( both laughing )
( suspenseful theme playing )
Hmm, I must have been mad to--
( gasps )
( growling )
Predacons, terrorize!
( dramatic theme playing )
( Terrorsaur & Waspinator laughing )
( growling )
( Predacons laughing )
Maximize!
( grunts )
Dinobot. He might need some help.
I guess you've made your decision.
Prime jets, on!
( tense theme playing )
( giggling )
( grunting )
( laughing )
( laughs )
( growling )
( giggles )
( grunts )
Ooh! Megatron reward Waspinator for my victory!
Your victory? It's my--
It's Optimus!
Excellent. He'll have no chance against the three of us.
( all laugh )
COMPUTER: Warning. Power cells at 35 percent and dropping.
Transform to beast mode.
TERRORSAUR ( in singsong ): Optimus is ours! Optimus is ours!
Waspinator will finish him!
( giggles )
( Terrorsaur screeches )
For the royalty!
( Optimus yells )
( grunting )
Optimus!
( groaning )
( both grunt )
( Inferno laughing )
( tense theme playing )
Attack!
Ha-ha! Unh!
Tigatron.
( groaning )
( laughing )
( dramatic theme playing )
Back off, Predacon.
You'll kill no more beasts today.
( laughing )
( laughing )
( tense theme playing )
You will leave the wild alone!
Once again, this planet pays the price for our war.
( somber theme playing )
Well done, Maximal.
You chose a perfect moment
to rejoin our ranks.
I am in your debt.
I must still grieve for my friend.
But as long as there are Predacons to harm this world,
we Maximals must protect it.
