00:00 [Music]

00:10 Ron, what we have here is an experimental all-terrain expeditionary fighting vehicle

00:17 designed by the finest engineers in our mask division.

00:20 Thank you, Agent Fowler. This will most certainly do.

01:40 Return trajectory fluctuations have been stabilized.

01:45 Ultra Magnus, we are ready to receive you.

01:49 [Music]

01:57 [Music]

02:06 We didn't find much else in the rubble of the former base.

02:10 You call this not much else?

02:15 Huh?

02:17 Whalejack, you could have caused serious damage.

02:24 To me?

02:27 [Music]

02:29 What in the Sam Hill?

02:32 [Music]

02:37 A little help here?

02:40 What were you thinking, soldier?

02:43 I was thinking Bull could catch that lob.

02:47 Allow me to make myself clear.

02:51 This is Optimus Prime second in command. I have no intention of tolerating wrecker behavior.

02:57 Some things never change.

03:01 Jackie?

03:06 Need I remind you that it was Optimus Prime himself who assigned me to command your wreckers back on Cybertron,

03:15 and get you loose cannons under control.

03:19 An active combat unit begins with discipline.

03:22 If you won't accept that, feel free to choose the path of least resistance, as you did before.

03:30 If my ship weren't a twisted wreck at present, I'd do that, sir.

03:39 [Music]

03:47 [Sigh]

03:49 So, any word from Optimus?

03:53 He's investigating recent Decepticon activity. Hopefully an energon mine.

04:00 [Music]

04:22 [Explosion]

04:35 [Music]

04:40 [Music]

04:48 How rad would it be if you all had jetpacks like Optimus?

04:53 Quite rad, Meeko. But the Forge has been depleted of its power to do that.

05:02 Now it's only good for pounding out dinks.

05:05 [Music]

05:13 Smoke screen?

05:15 [Music]

05:17 Aw, what gave me away?

05:20 Come on. Robots in disguise, right?

05:26 Where have you been, soldier?

05:31 Scanning new war paint. Thought I'd be proactive to follow Optimus's lead. And Bumblebees.

05:38 Now you can look your best while stacking those empty cubes.

05:44 Yes, sir.

05:47 I was nearly a Prime, but somehow I'm still a rookie.

05:52 What was that about a Prime?

05:57 Uh, no, time. Time to stop acting like a rookie.

06:03 Smoke screen was the only one who went back. If it weren't for him, Optimus might not be with us today.

06:17 RC, we were under the strictest of orders. The three of you had your human partners to protect.

06:26 But we are fortunate that Smoke Screen is inexperienced enough not to have followed protocol.

06:32 There! I can see it!

06:42 Abandon the excavation.

06:49 Now!

06:55 [Music]

06:57 Attack!

07:01 [Music]

07:05 [Music]

07:33 [Music]

08:02 Optimus, did you find Energon?

08:05 No, but I did uncover this.

08:10 It cannot be.

08:16 Be what?

08:20 The ancient remains of a Predacon.

08:27 [Music]

08:30 Though it remains unclear why such a skull would be found on your planet,

08:38 its presence reveals all too much about the Predacon which Megatron recently sent in pursuit of us.

08:45 You mean that dragon bot we put on ice?

08:50 Except that Predacons have been extinct since, well...

08:55 Since before most life began on Cybertron.

08:59 They're like Earth's dinosaurs.

09:02 Which means for you guys, running into one would be like us meeting a T-Rex.

09:07 So then what were Dinobots?

09:10 Totally different.

09:12 With Megatron's seeming new interest in the excavation of prehistoric skeletons,

09:19 and a certain scientist back among the Decepticon ranks...

09:22 It would stand to reason that Shockwave cloned the beast from one such find.

09:30 And now Megatron's looking to clone another.

09:34 What makes you think Buckethead would stop at just one?

09:39 We could have beast wars on our hands.

09:44 And if Shockwave only requires a single strand of CNA from which to clone a beast...

09:50 He already possesses what he needs to engender this one.

09:56 Autobots, we must become beast hunters.

10:01 One thing still doesn't follow.

10:05 Predacons went extinct on Cybertron.

10:08 So what would their bones be doing here?

10:12 On Earth?

10:14 I mean, isn't it just a little preposterous?

10:21 They are not the remains of Predacons, Starscream.

10:26 But rather, the remains of Predacon clones.

10:31 For you see, our recent Autobot hunter wasn't the first beast used super soldier

10:39 that Shockwave ever attempted to breed from prehistoric matter.

10:43 During the war for Cybertron,

10:47 I sanctioned the dispatch of a small army of these Predaclones to Earth

10:53 to unleash the beasts of unwitting Autobot forces stationed here.

11:00 Once they accomplished their mission,

11:04 the surviving Predacons held Sentinel on this very world for ages to come,

11:09 guarding the Energon reserves they had managed to secure while awaiting my arrival.

11:17 Of course, our reunion here was much delayed.

11:21 It would seem we lost the beasts to the ravages of time.

11:27 But not their endomatter,

11:31 from which I am logically able to extract their very CNA.

11:36 Another scavenger hunt?

11:39 How logical would it really be to locate all the dusty remains of your former pets?

11:48 You are not suggesting that I would send my creations to a distant planet

11:54 without first having them microchipped?

11:59 Well, I was. But seriously, you did?

12:05 From our historical texts.

12:14 But those are metal versions of creatures from our Greek mythology and medieval literature.

12:20 Not dinosaurs.

12:23 It would stand to reason that Predacons did indeed walk upon this Earth in ancient times,

12:29 as they seem to have been the basis for much of humankind's folklore,

12:35 illustrating once again that the pasts of Earth and Cybertron are inextricably linked.

12:43 (music)

12:48 Synthetic Energon?

13:01 Indeed.

13:03 I am concerned that without access to any Energon reserve since our base was destroyed,

13:10 our ability to deal with impending crises will be severely hampered.

13:14 A wise decision, old friend.

13:17 Just please, manage your expectations.

13:22 I am working with even more rudimentary hardware than before.

13:26 Prime!

13:28 Satellite surveillance has picked up two signs of Decepticon activity.

13:32 One near an oil field outside of El Paso, the other near the Hibertes Bluffs in Skaban.

13:39 So don't forget to pack your kilts.

13:41 We must divide our resources.

13:44 Ultramagnus, lead the Wreckers to the Bluffs.

13:49 Yes, Optimus.

13:51 What's a kilt?

13:57 Agent Fowler can at times be oblique.

14:03 I find it best to simply nod and mobilize.

14:09 Vulcan, Wheeljack, let's roll.

14:11 Optimus, I know there are many emotions tied to the Forge.

14:21 This is no time to stand on ceremony.

14:25 I would be honored to put this to some practical use.

14:36 [Rumbling]

14:39 I will search this quadrant.

14:56 [Rumbling]

15:01 [Rumbling]

15:04 [Rumbling]

15:14 [Rumbling]

15:28 [Rumbling]

15:31 Hey, B.

15:51 Have you ever thought you might want to be a Prime?

15:56 [Rumbling]

15:58 Not now.

16:00 Someday.

16:02 [Rumbling]

16:05 Warrior.

16:07 You and me both.

16:09 But I've seen you in action. Optimus knows you can scrap with the best of 'em.

16:14 Why won't he just promote you from Scout already?

16:17 [Rumbling]

16:19 Your choice.

16:25 So why wait?

16:26 [Rumbling]

16:31 Guess it would be more meaningful to graduate back home.

16:38 On Cybertron.

16:40 You're one patient guy.

16:42 I should take a cue.

16:44 [Rumbling]

16:48 [Rumbling]

17:17 [Rumbling]

17:20 [Rumbling]

17:33 [Rumbling]

17:46 [Rumbling]

17:49 [Rumbling]

18:15 [Rumbling]

18:18 Like I said, you got nice chops for a Scout.

18:22 [Rumbling]

18:27 [Rumbling]

18:40 [Rumbling]

18:43 [Rumbling]

18:54 [Rumbling]

19:00 How epic was that?

19:07 [Rumbling]

19:10 [Rumbling]

19:16 [Rumbling]

19:23 [Rumbling]

19:35 [Rumbling]

19:38 [Rumbling]

19:45 [Rumbling]

19:51 Woo! And that's why he's a Prime!

19:58 [Rumbling]

20:02 [Rumbling]

20:05 Soundwave.

20:13 [Rumbling]

20:17 [Rumbling]

20:31 [Rumbling]

20:34 [Rumbling]

20:49 [Rumbling]

20:59 [Rumbling]

21:02 Enough!

21:18 [Rumbling]

21:23 [Rumbling]

21:26 [Rumbling]

21:34 [Rumbling]

21:44 [Rumbling]

21:50 [Rumbling]

21:53 [Rumbling]

21:58 [Rumbling]

22:12 [Rumbling]

22:16 [Rumbling]

22:19 [Rumbling]

22:24 [Rumbling]

22:31 [Rumbling]

22:38 [Rumbling]

22:43 [Rumbling]

22:46 [Rumbling]

23:00 [Rumbling]

23:12 [Rumbling]

23:15 No!

23:19 We have all that we need.

23:24 [Ringing]

23:27 [Ringing]

23:31 [Ringing]

23:38 [Ringing]

23:41 A single strand of CNA.

23:51 Shockwave.

24:06 I understand that you engaged Optimus Prime in the field.

24:11 Only in order to secure the specimen, Lord Megatron.

24:15 I believed that you had perished once, my most prized engineer.

24:22 And I highly doubt that Project Predacon can be completed without you.

24:28 I shall leave the fetching of bones to Starscream, and confine myself to my laboratory.

24:35 In order to accelerate results.

24:38 Excellent.

24:40 For I am rather impatient to witness my army of beasts trample humankind underfoot.

24:52 [Rumbling]

24:55 [Rumbling]

24:58 [Rumbling]

25:01 [Rumbling]

25:12 [Rumbling]

25:15 [Rumbling]
