Transformers: Prime

Previously on Transformers Prime

Bravo, Optimus.

You may wish to save your strength for the main event.

We need to find Fowler and get this kids out of here.

It's your fault that we're stuck in this intensity.

What were you thinking, Miko?

I know math when I see it.

And that is one serious equation.

Well, if this was just an average day with the Autobots...

then I don't wanna be a part of it.

Your mindless agenda resulted in the disassembling of my ship!

And the delay of my plans!

Megatron is building a Space Bridge

to bring through his conquering army.

But the only place Megatron could

recruit that many fallen warriors...

Cybertron.

We cannot allow Megatron

to send Dark Energon through his Space Bridge.

If we fail, the dead of Cybertron will rise.

Swarm through its vortex...

and invade Earth.

Bending human kind to Megatron's twisted rule.

Nice bike.

Arcee, really. Miko already tried.

Tell Optimus I respect him big time, but...

if you're at war with the Decepticons...

there's nothing I can do to help.

Optimus didn't send me, and no one's asking for your help.

OK, so, if we both agree that I'm not warrior material...

Jack, I just lost someone I cared about...

maybe it's the grief talking, maybe you're growing on me.

Whatever it is... I'm just not ready to say good-bye.

Optimus, I've pinpointed the location of Megatron's Space Bridge.

High in Earth's orbit.

Out of our reach.

Ok, so you guys don't fly...

but can't you just ground-bridge there?

The Ground Bridge has limited range.

Stretch all the way into orbit its vortex could snap.

And scatter us to the stars.

Since Megatron is likely already in transit,

I'm afraid we must take that risk.

Reaching the Space Bridge first

is our only means of stopping him.

Hey, guess who's back!

Autobots, prepare for departure.

- Where to? - The final frontier.

Space?

I thought they didn't have any way to get there

They don't, really.

Be seen you?

Be careful, 'Bee.

- I'm so jealous. - Don't even think about following me.

Optimus, if you leave me stranded on a planet

teaming with humans, I will never forgive you.

Until we meet again, old friend.

Autobots, roll out!

Maximum overdrive!

Autobots, transform...

...and gravitize.

Don't look down. Or up.

Or left.

So Megatron's packing enough Dark Energon

to raise Cybertron's dead?

And since we don't possess ready means of disabling the Space Bridge,

nothing gets in... or out!

Optimus Prime never disappoints.

Unlike you, Starscream.

No need for concern, Master.

Soundwave is locking on to Cybertron's coordinates...

...per my instructions.

Well, what are they waiting for?

It appears the Decepticons have sustained serious damage

to their interstellar navigation system.

- Uh, that's my handiwork. - Great job, Bulkhead.

Without the dish, Megatron would be unable

to aim the Space Bridge at Cybertron.

Don't the Decepticons know where their own planet is?

Naturally.

But Cybertron is many light years away.

To reach their target,

their aim must be astronomically precise.

If Megatron went to the travel of rendezvousing with his Space Bridge,

he must have an alternate targeting system.

A remote one.

From what I know of Earth's technology,

I doubt there exists a single radio-telescope dish

on this planet powerful enough to pinpoint Cybertron.

What about a whole bunch of linked radio-telescope dishes?

Like the giant sized array in Texas?

Shh! This is not child's play.

Good thinking, Raf.

Ratchet, have agent Fowler

alert the array staff to the security hazard.

You, soldier! You on the uniform!

Put on some pants!

That may be a challenge.

I can't get past the array's firewalls.

They're too thick.

You actually think you could keep the Decepticons out?

Maybe, if I could get in.

W-wait, Raf, what if we could get you all the way in?

Like 'inside-the-building' in?

I could log into their intern network on the other side of the firewall.

The risk is too great, the Decepticons would be there.

Perhaps even on sight.

Optimus, with all due respect...

you said it yourself, this is bigger than the safety of three humans.

Yeah, if we let the 'Cons win,

we are fried, along with everyone else on our planet.

Raf?

I wanna give it a shot.

Surely, Lord Megatron, the Autobots are... up to something.

Reeeaally, Starscream?

Crush them!

Here comes the welcoming committee.

That would take some getting used to.

Security sure is lax on this place.

I'm in.

And so are the Decepticons.

- What?! - How can you tell?

Schematics.

With the same alien math we saw on their ship.
