Transformers: Prime

Narrator: Previously, on transformers prime.

Optimus prime: The specimen you see before you was bred in the laboratory,

Cloned from fossilized remains,

Which I discovered on cybertron.

A dragon? Where'd the 'cons get a dragon?

Bulkhead: Ultra magnus?

It's an honor.

"it's an honor, sir."

Ultra magnus: We must stop megatron.

With or without optimus prime.

Who put shoulderpads in command?

Ultra magnus is the only logical choice.

Optimus! I have the forge!

Whatever power remains...

Must be used to restore cybertron.

The time for a new leader is upon us.

I believe that leader

Stands before me right now.

Ultra magnus: Autobots.

We remain vastly outnumbered,

And, despite our munitions,

Do not currently possess the firepower

Necessary to compromise the decepticon citadel.

Uncle sam's military does.

I just can't let them make a move

As long as megatron's ray guns are pointed at washington.

Then we must infiltrate darkmount

In order to nullify its fusion cannons.

Unfortunately, it seems the fortress is heavily shielded

Against unauthorized groundbridges.

Even those originating from decepticon technology.

Guess we'll have to sneak past enemy lines. Wrecker-style.

I couldn't deal with "wrecker-style" on cybertron,

And I refuse to deal with it here.

Hmm.

Now, we require a means of thinning the decepticon ranks

To even the odds,

If we're to have any hope of completing this mission.

Or of surviving it.

( brian tyler's "transformers prime" playing )

I-I can't do this.

I mean, sure, who wouldn't wanna be a prime?

But I'm really not ready for that kind of responsibility.

Smokescreen...

The choice is neither yours, nor mine to make.

When it is time...

The matrix of leadership will present itself

Only to one whose spark is worthy.

Because it worked so well last time...

I knew the humans couldn't resist

Using their telecommunications.

That is all they seem to do.

Seek and destroy!

Raf: I have five bogeys converging right on top of jack.

Not anymore.

Miko, your turn.

Hello, I need two large pies, sicilian.

You deliver, right?

Humans.

Standby to groundbridge.

Soundwave, why can't you accept a little good fortune?

The autobots couldn't possibly stay hidden forever.

I really could have used that pizza.

I've tapped into the decepticon communications network.

Are you ready, jack?

Decepticon command, do you read me?

I remain unconvinced.

I will enhance your performance with static.

Jack ( in soldier's voice ): Decepticon command, do you read?

We are under autobot attack!

It's one of our energon mines!

Insecticons, prepare for battle!

Autobots, lock and load!

Agent fowler: Keep your engines warm, boys.

We launch the moment ultra magnus gives the all-clear.

Mining trooper ( over comm ): There must be some mistake, commander starscream.

The mine is not under attack.

What? How can that--?

Megatron: Starscream!

Explain why my forces are scattering across this globe.

Uh, renegade autobot mischief, lord megatron!

I am in the process of deducing

How they are infiltrating our communications systems--

The harbinger!

You left abandoned decepticon technology

Fully operational and unsecured?

Allow me to correct my oversight immediately.

Starscream ( over comm ): Seeker armada to the flight deck.

Your target is the decepticon ship, the harbinger.

You are to obliterate it, at once!

Starscream: My armada is in position.

Open a groundbridge to the harbinger.

Since it would seem that darkmount is under attack,

Kindly redirect all efforts toward ensuring

That our invaders our eradicated!

Fire in another hole!

I assure you, master, I have everything under control.

Lord megatron.

I accept that military considerations

Are outside of my domain,

But perhaps it is once again time...

To release the predacon.

Ratchet, now!

Oh, well...

Yes, that's right.

Go off and sulk, why don't you?

Who stands before me?

What?

It's me, optimus. Smokescreen.

Who...Beckons?

Autobot: Come, optimus.

Is it truly you...

Alpha trion?

I stand before you, my student.

As such, it would seem that it is your time.
