Transformers Prime (2010) s01e19 Episode Script

Rock Bottom

We're supposed to be at a rock concert, but all I see is rock.
Relax, Miko.
The show doesn't start for two hours.
Do you know how long I've waited to see slash monkey? Uh forever! And it's their only U.
S.
date.
There's a shock.
I mean, who doesn't love obscure Bulgarian shriek metal? By all appearances, the mine's been stripped.
But I'm getting a signal.
It's faint, but it's definitely Energon.
Whoa! Doesn't make sense.
This operation has been abandoned four, maybe five years.
And Decepticons never leave Energon behind.
Uh, guys? Cool! She went in.
Unbelievable.
Really? Have you met her? Miko, get back here! It would be kind of interesting to see.
- You know, if it were - Safe? A stripped mine can be structurally unstable, Jack.
I promise to step lightly.
Just don't tell your mom.
Uh, lord Megatron, far be it from me to question your intentions, but I do not understand why we've returned here after all this time alone.
Uh Every last trace of Energon was extracted from this mine.
There's nothing left.
Indulge me, Starscream, won't you? Miko! Mi Check it out! Now, this would make an awesome rehearsal space! Hello! Hello, Cleveland! Are you ready to rock? Whoo-hoo-ow! Arcee Found something.
Bulkhead? Bulkhead, do you read? Scrap.
The mineral composition down here is causing interference.
Okay, maybe the acoustics aren't perfect.
Well, we're here.
Ratchet's gonna want a sample.
How intriguing.
Incompetent fools! This mining equipment should have been relocated.
Why is it still here? A most valid question.
My apologies, master.
I believe sound wave was in charge of coordinating transport.
But in fairness, during your interstellar travels, we all had to assume additional responsibilities.
Clearly, mistakes were made.
Yes.
Clearly.
Every last trace of Energon extracted? Lord Megatron, I can explain.
Explain what? That you've been hoarding a supply of Energon for your personal use? No! Not exactly.
You see, I Do not take me for a fool, Starscream! I have been wise to your transgressions from the beginning.
Not only did you pluck the dark Energon from my chest in a failed attempt to snuff my spark, but you tried to raise your own undead warrior with it.
It's no secret that you lost an arm in the process, which you've since had replaced.
You know about that?! Sound wave is quite competent at surveillance, I can assure you.
The fact is, Starscream, despite your treachery, I've allowed you to carry on this long because I took a certain delight in following your string of failures.
But you've finally become tiresome, predictable.
You've hit rock bottom.
Master, please! Give me one more chance! I beg of you! You have ceased to be of use to me, Starscream.
So you shall simply cease to be.
Stay down! Haaah! Starscream, you dare abandon me?! Scrap! What? No! Arcee? Arcee! Oh, scrap.
Did i do that? Don't think so.
Are you okay? Natch.
What about you? Peachy.
Whoa! Don't worry, Miko.
I got it under control.
What do you think caused the cave-in? Who knows? I just hope Arcee and Jack are safe, 'cause we could definitely use an assist.
Just keep raising that roof, Bulk.
I'll get us out of here.
Predictable, master? Is that what you called me? Well, now who has hit rock bottom? What's that? I'm sorry I can't hear you beneath all that rubble! Farewell, lord Megatron.
May you rest in peace.
But you have survived far worse.
If you managed to free yourself, you would blame me for your setback, and there is nowhere that I could possibly escape from your wrath.
Or, worse yet, your mindless followers will come looking for you and take credit for your rescue Credit that could rightfully be mine.
Raaaah! Megatron! Arcee? Bulkhead? Miko! Huh? Well, that could come in handy.
Miko! I'm feeling strong! No, you're not.
I just need to Rest for a second, that's all.
Miko, listen to me.
There's no fresh air down here.
If you use up the oxygen too fast We could suffocate! Not "we," Miko You.
Autobots don't need to breathe, remember? Right.
Smack-down in outer space.
That was cool.
Okay.
What if I just slowed down, breathedless No.
You need to stop now.
I can't, Bulk.
I have to get you out of here.
Miko, please.
Don't worry about me.
I'm fine.
Roll out.
Do you hear that? Sounds like Drilling.
Got to be Arcee and Jack.
We're inHere! Here! Miko, grab something, and bang it on my foot.
Can you do that? I don't want to hurt you.
I know it's hard to believe, but I'm tougher than I look.
Now give it all you got.
I suppose helping those less fortunate would be completely out of the question.
If it is the case, you might as well use your drill to finish me.
I guarantee you will never have a better opportunity than right now.
Well? What are you waiting for? Think of the glory.
Seize the day.
Optimus would.
No, he wouldn't.
Not like this.
I will be sure to share the details of our little conversation with Optimus The day I rip out his spark! Thatagirl.
What was that? Nothing.
Go on.
Keep banging.
Bulkhead, what's happening? Tell me! My arms They're starting to give.
Does it hurt? A little.
Bulkhead! Help's coming.
We just got to guide them here.
Hit me again.
Miko, do it! Are they any closer? I can't tell.
The sound is all unh! Freaky in here.
Yes! Arcee found us! Put any doubt of my allegiance to rest.
What's he doing down here? Miko, get behind me now! Well, well, if isn't Bulkhead and his pet Vermin.
My, you do have your hands full, don't you, Autobot? Do whatever you want to me, Starscream, but let the human go! No! I'm not leaving you! It appears that the human wishes to remain.
Starscream, don't push me! You like playing with the big robots, don't you, little girl? Aah! That's it, Autobot I will What? You'll what? Make me bring down the ceiling on top of all of us? Run, Miko! Yes.
Run, Miko.
I would love to see you try.
Really, I would.
Aah! Jack, get Miko out of here now! Come on! Come on! Run, Miko! We can't leave Bulkhead! And then there were two.
Arcee will save him, won't she? You and I just need to find a way out of here before Megatron digs himself free.
Megatron's here, too?! If you think I'm gonna beg for mercy, Starscream, forget it.
Yes, begging for mercy would be quite pathetic, wouldn't it? Well, you're much more valuable to me alive.
Imagine Megatron's appreciation when I not only rescue him but deliver an Autobot.
I believe that would restore my stature quite nicely.
Don't move, Starscream.
Hey, Bulk.
Hey, 'cee.
Raise your hands.
Aww.
We could finish them here and now.
Shame we didn't bring any grenades.
Would Optimus finish them? No.
He probably wouldn't.
Not like this.
But Optimus wouldn't rescue them, either, right? Let's go home.
Master! You're alive! Thank the all spark! II did not abandon you, master.
I returned to save you! Save me? Look into my spark, lord Megatron.
My intentions were true.
Please! Have mercy!
