SO, WHAT IS IT?
REMEMBER THAT TRANSWARP CELL EXPLOSION?
OKAY, STUPID QUESTION.
ANYWAY, I'VE BEEN CALCULATING ITS PATH.
THE TEMPORAL WAVE FRON
IS MOVING INTO THE FUTURE AT AN ACCELERATED RATE.
IT'LL REACH CYBERTRON IN APPROXIMATELY 2.218 DECACYCLES.
THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE.
THE QUESTION IS, HAS MEGATRON MADE THE SAME CALCULATIONS?
WELL, IF I WAS A BETTING RODENT, WHICH I AM -- OH, YEAH.
HMM.
WE'D BETTER START INCREASING THE BASE DEFENSES.
WELL, IF IT AIN'T THE IRASCIBLE RAPTOR.
THE BASE REMAINS INFESTED WITH VERMIN, I SEE.
YEAH, IT'S FUNNY.
YOU KNOW, NOT MUCH CHANGES AROUND HERE.
EXCEPT MAYBE THE OCCASIONAL ALLEGIANCE.
FIND ANY GOLDEN DISKS LATELY, HMM?
PASS THEM ON TO ANY PREDACONS?
I DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN MY ACTIONS TO YOU, MOUSE!
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT -- YOU DON'T.
'CAUSE THEY PRETTY MUCH SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
GO AHEAD, RODENT.
PUSH IT ONE MORE INCH.
YOU KNOW, I USED TO FIGURE I HAD YOU PEGGED.
OH, YEAH, HE'S A SLAG-SPOUTING SAURIAN,
BUT AT LEAST YOU KNOW WHERE HE STANDS.
GUESS WE LIVE AND LEARN.
[ GROWLS ]
THE RODENT'S WORDS GIVE OFF THE STENCH OF TRUTH.
DESTINY HAS ONE GREAT TEST IN STORE FOR US ALL.
HAS MINE ALREADY COME,
AND HAVE I FAILED IT?
A DEED ONCE DONE
CANNOT BE UNDONE.
BUT PERHAPS IT MAY YET BE MITIGATED.
[ GUN COCKS ]
CAT PATROL TO BOT BASE.
GOT A BLUE-PLATE SIGHTING IN TENGU SECTOR.
CRAB LEGS AND CRABBY -- ALL YOU CAN EAT.
[ ROARS ]
WOW!
BUT BE WARNED -- THIS PLATE IS HOT!
WHOA!
Cheetor to anybody -- Come in!
THIS IS DINOBOT.
SPEAK, FELINE.
I'm teaching a solo lesson to Megatron and Rampage.
TROUBLE IS, THEY'RE SLOW LEARNERS AND -- AAH!
CHEETOR, ARE YOU INJURED?
YEAH, I'LL SURVIVE.
BUT SOMEBODY'S GOT TO FOLLOW UP ON MEGATRON,
FIND OUT WHAT HE'S UP TO.
FEAR NOT.
SOMEONE MOST ASSUREDLY WILL.
[ BLEATING ]
AHH!
DINNER IS SERVED.
[ LAUGHS ]
[ GASPS ]
AAAH!
[ ROARS ]
SICKENING SPIDER,
YOUR BASE WAS BETRAYED BY THE STENCH OF YOUR PERVERSIONS.
THE GOLDEN DISK --
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT INFORMATION IT CONTAINS.
[ CHOKES ] I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.
I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T KNOW!
THERE'S NO MORE COPIES.
MEGATRON WON'T RISK A SECURITY BREACH AGAIN.
ONLY THE ORIGINAL DISK, AND HE KEEPS IT WITH HIM.
THEN I SHALL GO TO MEGATRON.
GOOD LUCK CATCHING UP TO HIM.
HE'S MILES AWAY.
HEH.
[ WHEEL SCREECHING ]
YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, LIZARD!
SHUT UP AND ACCELERATE.
[ ENGINE ROARING ]
HUH?
[ BELLOWING ]
[ SHRIEKING ]
OH, THE MOUNTAIN!
THAT WILL SERVE OUR PURPOSE. YES.
YOU BROUGHT US ALL THIS WAY TO LOOK AT SCENERY?
I DON'T CARE FOR YOUR TONE, RAMPAGE.
SOON -- VERY SOON -- I EXPECT A VISIT FROM CYBERTRON.
I EAGERLY ANTICIPATE YOUR IMMINENT DEMISE, THEN.
A LIKELY OUTCOME, I ADMIT.
BUT ONLY IF REALITY REMAINS AS IT IS.
THIS DISK CONTAINS IMAGES RECORDED IN THE FUTURE --
ONE FUTURE, ANYWAY.
MY DEAR RAMPAGE, IF YOU PLEASE.
YOU PRESUME TO ORDER ME?!
[ CANNON FIRE ]
YES. YES.
OH, MY CRAZED CRUSTACEAN.
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT THIS MEANS?
WHEN REALITY ALTERS, THE FUTURE ALTERS WITH IT.
WITH THE GOLDEN DISK,
MEGATRON'S POWER IS LIMITLESS.
NOW, ACCORDING TO THIS DISK,
THE HUMAN RACE IS DESTINED TO EMERGE FROM THIS VALLEY.
HMM. HUMANS.
THANKS TO THEIR INTERFERENCE,
THE AUTOBOTS DEFEATED THE DECEPTICONS,
AND THUS IT IS THE MAXIMALS WHICH RULE US.
BUT NO LONGER.
NO.
DESTINY IS ABOUT TO UNDERGO AN IMPROVEMENT.
DINOBOT TO OPTIMUS PRIMAL --
AAH!
SHOULDN'T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF A SPIDER.
THEY TEND TO BE VENOMOUS. [ LAUGHS ]
BUT THEY STILL SQUASH.
[ BEEPS ]
Optimus here. What is it, Dinobot?
CODE RED -- SITUATION EXTREME.
DESTROY THIS VALLEY AND EVERYTHING IN IT.
THE HUMAN RACE WILL NEVER HAVE EXISTED!
WE'LL BE THERE AS SOON AS WE CAN.
IN THE MEANTIME, FALL BACK AND WAIT FOR US.
Negative!
THE QUESTION THAT ONCE HAUNTED MY BEING HAS BEEN ANSWERED.
THE FUTURE IS NOT FIXED.
MY CHOICES ARE MY OWN.
AND YET HOW IRONIC.
FOR I NOW FIND I HAVE NO CHOICE AT ALL.
[ SIGHS ]
I AM A WARRIOR.
LET THE BATTLE BE JOINED.
OH, MAN.
NO MATTER HOW SOON WE GET THERE, IT'S GONNA BE WAY TOO LATE.
DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO SEE THE BRIGHT SIDE?
DINOBOT AGAINST SIX PREDS.
THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH LEFT OF HIM TO MAKE A TOASTER.
AAAAAAAAH!
AAAAAH!
NO!
BOY!
ONE LONELY TURNCOAT BATTLING ON AGAINST IMPOSSIBLE ODDS.
I'M ALMOST TOUCHED.
FORTUNATELY, SUCH MOMENTS PASS QUICKLY.
QUICKSTRIKE, SCRAP HIM.
YEE-HAW!
AND JUST TO TILT THE ODDS EVEN FURTHER
[ GRUNTING ]
[ GROANING ]
WELL, HOWDY! HA!
DON'T BOTHER GETTING UP.
I'LL JUST KICK YOU WHILE YOU'RE DOWN.
AAH!
[ GROANS ]
WARNING -- SYSTEMS FAILING.
SO, WHAT'S A WARRIOR WITHOUT WEAPONS, EH?
A WARRIOR STILL.
[ BEEPING ]
WARNING -- POWER RESERVES 96% DEPLETED.
STASIS LOCK COMMENCING.
OVERRIDE.
REPEAT -- POWER LOSS CRITICAL.
FURTHER EXPENDITURES WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF SPARK.
STASIS LOCK MUST COMMENCE.
OVERRIDE!
ACKNOWLEDGED.
[ METALLIC THUDDING ]
MEGATRON.
HMM. MY EARS ARE BURNING.
YES!
WHY, DINOBOT! WHAT A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE.
LET'S SEE. WHERE ARE WE NOW?
I HAVE THE GOLDEN DISK,
I HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE FUTURE,
AND THE ONLY REMAINING OBSTACLE
IN MY PATH TO UNIMAGINABLE GLORY IS YOURSELF --
EXHAUSTED, DAMAGED BEYOND RECOVERY,
DEFEATED.
NOT
JUST YET!
[ GRUNTS ]
UH-UH-UH.
ONE MORE STEP, AND IT'S RAINING BITS OF EARLY ANTHROPOID.
YES.
OH, DEAR. HOW POSITIVELY MAXIMAL OF YOU.
YOU WERE WEAKENED BEFORE YOU STARTED, DINOBOT --
WEAKENED BY COMPASSION.
[ Laughing ] OH, REALLY, DINOBOT?
A STICK AGAINST A TRANSMETAL? HEH.
I THINK NOT.
FINAL WARNING -- POWER FAILING.
JEOPARDY EXTREME. REPEAT -- EXTREME.
OH, PLEASE.
FACE IT, DINOBOT -- YOU'RE OLD TECHNOLOGY.
OBSOLETE.
HA. WHAT CAN YOU POSSIBLY DO?
IMPROVISE.
AAH!
AAAAAAAAAAAAH!
SO CLOSE.
I WAS SO CL-O-O-OSE!
[ GASPS ]
THERE'S -- THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING WE CAN DO.
HE'S TOO FAR GONE,
EVEN FOR STASIS LOCK.
WELL FOUGHT, MY FRIEND.
YOU SAVED THE VALLEY.
YOU SAVED THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO LIVE HERE
AND OF THOSE WHO ARE STILL TO COME.
THEN
THERE IS NOTHING TO REGRET.
LIKE I SAID,
YOU'RE JUST A BLASTED SLAG-SPOUTING SAURIAN,
BUT, UH
BUT IT'S NICE TO KNOW WHERE YOU STAND.
UPWIND OF YOU, FOR PREFERENCE, VERMIN.
TELL MY TALE TO THOSE WHO ASK.
TELL IT TRULY --
THE ILL DEEDS ALONG WITH THE GOOD --
AND LET ME BE JUDGED ACCORDINGLY.
THE REST
IS SILENCE.
HE LIVED A WARRIOR AND DIED A HERO.
LET HIS SPARK JOIN THE MATRIX --
THE GREATEST OF CYBERTRON.
[ GRUNTING ]

[ HISSES ]

YAH!
HUH?
