NARRATOR: Last time, on Beast Wars:
Optimus Primal, I have a matter of some urgency to discuss.
RATTRAP: A truce?
I cannot believe you agreed to this.
WASPINATOR: Why is spiderbot taking transwarp cell?
The answer is simple. I'm leaving.
( beeping )
( explosion ) ( cackling )
By the Matrix.
( thunder rumbling )
Megatron has found a strange Golden Disk
of alien manufacture.
The aliens, the ones who seeded this planet with energon,
the ones who created that flying island
that almost destroyed us, they're on their way here.
That's just prime.
( dramatic theme playing )
( beeping )
SENTINEL: Alert. Power anomaly in Grid Trion.
Display coordinates and cross-reference energy signature
with data tracks tile seven.
( beeping )
Energy signature identical with previous alien contact.
Looks like our unknown friends have finally arrived.
Just what we need. A visit from the landlord.
Rattrap and Airazor are closest. Tell them to check it out.
I'll meet them there.
The Preds will have picked up this signal.
We still have a truce. I hope.
( beeping )
( chuckling )
They're here as I anticipated,
given the data I hacked from Megatron's private files.
Computer, calculate next stasis pod landing.
COMPUTER: Stasis pod will achieve planet fall in 30.6 mega-cycles.
Slag! Not soon enough.
I must find another means of escaping this dirt ball.
And why would you want to do that, partner?
( grumbling )
I'm not your partner. Now go away!
But you don't have a choice, legs.
( clicks tongue then sighs )
You don't want me telling Megatron
about the transwarp cell you stole, do you?
( grumbling )
Besides, you need me to get past the Maximals' defense shield.
Heh-heh. To what end? The Axalon will never fly again.
Granted. But the Maximals have intact stasis pods.
A clever spider, one with a transwarp cell,
might use such a stasis pod to create an escape ship.
Hm.
Most of the Maximals are off chasing that power anomaly.
We could have that pod in just under two mega-cycles.
So, what do you say, partner?
( Megatron chuckles )
Ah. The inevitable treachery. Yes.
Properly guided, it should serve me well.
So back online, are we?
No, no thanks to Tarantulas.
Oh, Waspinator find spiderbot
and tear him a new waste disposal unit!
I have no time for these petty squabbles now.
No. Larger goals are at stake.
Proceed at once to coordinates 6-5-9 and secure the area.
I will follow shortly.
Not fair!
Waspinator always gets slag assignments.
May I remind Waspinator that the current ceasefire
applies only in reference to Maximals?
Ooh! Waspinator go.
That's better.
Hm. From now on, I must play this carefully.
Very carefully, indeed.
( dramatic theme playing )
AIRAZOR: Looks like we found the source of the anomaly.
Ooh, lucky us.
Now we can be the first to get vaped.
Do you ever think positively?
Hey, that was positive, sister.
You know, I could've said,
"Now we can be the first to get tortured
and then vaped."
You're a real funbot, you know that?
( grunts )
Strip my circuits and call me a toaster.
This crystal is stable.
Then I should be able to scan it safely.
It's a field generator,
and it's building up tremendous--
( screams )
Airazor!
( ground rumbles, Rattrap gasps )
Oh, no.
( field generator revs )
( screaming )
( grunting )
Oh, my aching coils.
( field generator revs )
Uh-oh.
( field generator humming )
Oh, this is not good.
Rattrap to Optimus.
Come in, fearless leader.
Optimus here. Have you reached the anomaly?
Have I ever! It's some kind of nutty alien bungalow.
And it swallowed Airazor.
You better get your monkey butt over here before--
( grunts )
Rattrap? Rattrap!
( groaning )
( voice speaking alien language )
I mean you no harm.
( voice speaking alien language )
( screaming )
( grunts )
Oh, man, this is definitely not my day.
No, Waspinator secures area.
( suspenseful theme playing )
No, Maximal will leave or be scrapped.
Unh. No chance, bug face. I got here first, heh.
Besides, we got a cease-fire goin', remember?
So? Waspinator not shoot.
( grunts )
Oh. Oh, man.
It's amazin' how sweet we're all bein' these days.
( dramatic rock theme playing )
( groans )
( grunts )
Problem is, you fight with a rat
( grunts )
( jabbers )
you'd better fight dirty.
( whining ): Ow! That hurt!
Oh, yeah! Heh-heh. He doesn't like that.
Robo-noogie!
( whimpering )
( Rattrap grunts )
( Waspinator howls )
( groans )
Now get lost.
No, not--
Waspinator thinks area is secure enough.
( whimpering )
( Optimus approaches ) Huh?
I swear, I can't take you anywhere.
Hey, heh-heh, just, uh, keepin' the peace.
( sighs )
So Airazor's in there, is she?
Is there a way in?
You see a doorbell anywhere?
Try a cutting laser.
You got it.
( screaming )
Beast mode.
( grunts )
( voice speaking in alien language )
VOICE: Cybertron.
( buzzing )
Unh. Nada. Whatever this is,
energy beams don't mean slag to it.
As I anticipated.
Megatron!
Holy Swiss cheese, we're in for it now.
Did you really expect energy beams to work?
These aliens can create energon itself.
I suggest a different tactic.
Biological?
Exactly. Scorponok.
One toxic sting comin' up.
Looks like you guessed right, Megatron.
But a Maximal's the one trapped inside.
We go in first.
Hey, hey, hey! What's this "we" stuff?
Hm.
Yes, but of course. Be my guest.
We do have a truce, remember?
Just as long as you don't forget.
All right, Rattrap, let's go.
Oh, man, I want extra hazard pay for this.
This is a calculated risk.
We shall lets the Maximals serve as primary targets.
But if things go awry
I got a mega missile right here.
I can fire it right through that hole.
Excellent. Now if only Inferno was doing his job as well.
( dramatic theme playing )
( chattering )
Airazor!
Get her out of here. Quickly!
Man, you don't gotta tell me twice.
Optimus, don't stay.
I have to. Since our arrival on this planet,
we haven't exactly been the best of tenants.
These aliens have a right to expect some answers.
Optimus. No.
All right. Whoever you are--
( grunting )
( roars )
( suspenseful theme playing )
( grunting )
( green light humming )
( dramatic theme playing )
You said you could breach their shield. Prove it.
You're not the only techno-head around here, partner.
( buttons beep )
Spiffy little gizmo, huh?
Hmph. We'll move in by the roof hatch.
Ah, the Royalty was right.
The spiders spin their own web of intrigue.
( sighs )
( crunch )
( Waspinator screaming )
Ah, would that I could have that sound
to lull me to sleep each night.
They're comin' out.
We can't leave Optimus in there.
Unh. Hey, ours is not to reason why,
but to blow this joint before we die.
( grunting )
( panting )
( metal clicks )
( dramatic theme playing )
( sighing ): Let me guess. The truce is over.
( screaming )
VOICE: Scan complete.
This is the specimen we analyzed before.
( grunting )
Who are you?
( wind howls )
( dramatic theme playing )
Unicron!
We have no physical form you could comprehend.
We chose this figure of authority from your data tracks.
If you've scanned me,
you know that we did not come to this planet by choice.
Yet you are here.
We mean no harm.
To you or this planet.
It is too late.
You and your enemies
have already contaminated the project.
The harm has been done.
That which does not become part of the one
shall become void.
No! Wait! We can fix whatever damage was done.
We are not interested.
The experiment will be sterilized.
You can't do that! There are living creatures here.
You, with all your power, even you have no right.
We have no choice.
There is more danger than you know.
Begin termination sequence.
No!
( alarm blaring )
( grunts )
Optimus Primal, maximize!
( dramatic rock theme playing )
( grunting )
Hey!
( both grunting )
Huh? Yaah!
( grunting )
Why, you little--!
Back off!
( grunts )
( grunts )
( Optimus yells )
Hey, big banana, what gives?
They called it a termination sequence.
We'd better get out of here!
You just said my favorite phrase.
( gasps )
Fortunately, there is still another hand to be played.
( dramatic rock theme playing )
SENTINEL: Massive energon surge emanating from Grid Trion.
Communications impossible.
Can you track the stasis pods?
Negative.
Divert all power to space scanner.
Lock on their beam and ride it.
Boosting power. Interlocking.
Lock achieved. Imaging.
What the slagging-- ( metal clicks )
( groaning )
Invaders!
( grunting )
What is it?
The beginning of the end.
( dramatic theme playing )
NARRATOR: Next time, on Beast Wars:
Oh, just when thought things couldn't get any worse.
Planetary destruction in 28.5 cycles.
( screaming )
The Maximal base. And the shield is down.
( screaming )
If you find them, I want them functional.
COMPUTER: Three, two, one, zero.
OPTIMUS: Megatron!
I rather like these aliens.
