In their relentless pursuit of more energy,
The Decepticons make an ominous discovery.
How dare you disturb me to watch a travel log, Soundwave.
Recall Laserbeak and Buzzsaw at once.
- Wait, Megatron, and observe.
Are you interested now?
- Yes.
An underwater city of such size,
must generate enormous energy.
Energy that shall soon be ours.
Your cassette vultures have done well, Soundwave.
Now to evaluate their discovery.
Ah, intriguing.
Starscream, wait!
- Waiting is for timid zap-mice!
And rushing forward blindly,
is for dolts.
- You speak wisely, land stranger.
I am Nergill, king of Subatlantica.
Welcome to my domain.
- He communicates telepathically.
His mental power is great.
- But not as great as my firepower.
Aahh!
- I had hoped you were different from other land creatures,
but I see you are not.
Hold, or I shall destroy you!
- Boastful manfish!
You are foolish,
but I admire your war-like spirit.
I believe we have much to offer one another.
- He scrambled the message, Starscream.
- Then unscramble it.
I don't trust that humanoid anchovy.
- Perhaps we may be allies, land-dweller.
I've told my guards not to harm you.
Follow me.
As you can see my kingdom abounds in energy,
but to use it, my people must remain deep beneath the sea.
- Then we will remain here, too.
Long enough to take it from you.
You no longer need to be imprisoned in these depths, Nergill.
Thanks to Decepticon technology and our energon cubes,
Subatlantica will soon arise from its watery isolation,
to join us in conquest!
- Hut 1, hut 2, hike!
Spike, I can't block him much longer!
- Here come me Grimlock!
- I'm clear! Pass it!
Got it!
I'm headin' for Touchdown City!
Aahh!
- Hey, guys!
Optimus Prime wants us!
On the double!
- Are you sure humans do this for fun?
- We're getting a mysterious energy flare,
from the deepest part of the Atlantic.
I need volunteers to check it out.
- It's gotta be safer than playin' football with Dinobots!
- Tell me about it!
- I'll go, too, Prime!
- And you can count me in as well!
- Hey! Wait for me!
- Okay, guys. Going under!
- Wow. What is this place, anyway?
There are legends of a sunken city called Atlantis.
I never believed them until now.
Welcome to Subatlantica, land slug!
Enjoy our hospitality. Permanently!
- Brawn! Get up here!
And watch that blast!
- Danger. Autobots detected.
And quickly ejected!
- Look out!
We got underwater air pollution!
- We gotta get out of here and report back to Prime!
- I'll hold 'em while you cut out!
- Buzzsaw, Laserbeak, attack!
- This way, quick!
- Follow me, Wheeljack! Move!
- It's too late for me,
but nobody else is gonna follow you either.
- Foolishly gallant Wheeljack.
Your selfless action will cost you your function cycle.
- With your permission, Megatron,
I want him as my prisoner.
- Agreed!
- What was that communique?
- Oh, a warning to my guards to watch the prisoner.
Nothing more.
- Nothing more, eh?
The truth, Soundwave.
Take the Autobot to my laboratory.
We'll use him to develop weapons against his comrades,
and against our Decepticon allies.
- Fire the hydrothrusters!
Subatlantica shall rise again.
There they are! Blast them!
- And don't forget Wheeljack, Optimus!
- Like they say: surf's up!
We gotta contact Prime right away,
'cause it looks like Megatron,
and a whole undersea city,
are heading for...
Washington D.C.!
- Onward to Washington D.C.,
the first step in our conquest of the world!
- Onward, Decepticon "comrades."
Once you have helped my people conquer the surface humans,
I shall conquer you.
We're almost there!
Just remember,
we've got to handle Decepticons and Subatlanticans, too!
- Double the danger, double the dimwits.
The Subatlanticans have him!
- But not for long.
I want you and Bumblebee to free him!
- Thanks, Prime!
I've been waitin' for a chance to help.
- Just be sure you both get back with your chassis in one piece!
Cover the city with the dome of invulnerability.
- I take orders only from King Nergill!
- He is not here.
But I am!
Obey me!
- Uh, as you command.
- Washington D.C. is mine!
Not if I can help it, Megatron!
- Blast them to mini-microns!
- You Autobots are through!
- Watch your aim, guys!
And now Laserbeak is history, too!
- We can't get through the dome, Bumblebee!
- So forget through,
and go for under.
- We did it!
- Let's hope we can spring Wheeljack as easily.
My magnetic disfunction ray works perfectly.
The Autobot is immobilized.
Hand it over!
I have a better use for it.
- Not as good as mine.
Traitorous electro-toad!
You shall pay!
Not quite as effective against Decepticons as Autobots, but it will do.
- I hope Wheeljack's okay.
No!
That could ruin Wheeljack's function circuitry!
- So what?
Ruining Autobots is my life!
- Did I do that?
Ya sure did!
And it was fantastic!
Now help me reset Wheeljack's control interfaces.
They're all glitched up.
- Hurry!
Must stop Nergill before it's too late!
- Brawn! Get out of here!
- Not until I get me a Decepti-jet!
Winger!
- Don't worry, Thundercracker.
Anything a Decepticon can start, I, Nergill, can finish!
- Pompous Subatlantican may be good for something after all.
- Today Washington D.C., tomorrow the entire planet Earth!
- We'd better warn Prime about Nergill's disfunction ray!
Beware, Optimus!
There is great danger!
Nergill must be stopped, or he will destroy us all!
Come in, Dinobots!
We need your help!
Megatron and his allies have taken over Washington D.C.!
This is an S.O.S.!
- Mmmm... Autobots bite off more than they can chew,
then send for Dinobots.
Mmm... come, Snarl, Sludge. We go!
- Why must we tolerate these overbearing Decepticons, your majesty?
Patience, captain.
We shall soon give them their just desserts.
- There.
This throne was made for me.
- Why must we share our power with those,
obnoxious Subatlanticans, Megatron?
- Patience, Thundercracker.
We will soon put them in their proper place.
The bottom of the sea!
- Mmm. We are here.
Dinobots, transform and destroy!
- All right!
- Me Grimlock here again, Optimus Prime,
to pull your diodes out of laserfire.
I'd concentrate on saving yourself, Grimlock.
Goodbye, Dino-goon!
- Goodbye, good riddance!
- My lord, fire!
- I don't have a clear shot.
I'd better zap them both.
- You treacherous hydro-weasel!
Megatron! Nergill is now our enemy!
- Okay, Bumblebee.
Now!
Not bad for Autobots.
Now watch Grimlock.
Whoa!
- Starscream!
See what you've done, you driveling dirtbucket!
Back to Subatlantica!
- You heard him, Decepticons.
Clear out!
- But before we go,
I'll leave a souvenir!
- The Washington monument!
- Good catch for an Autobot.
- You Dinobots did pretty well yourselves.
Now let's pull the plug on Subatlantica once and for all!
Autobots, transform!
Roll out!
Now that we're safely out to sea, Nergill,
I demand you answer Starscream's charge of treachery.
- My response must wait, Megatron.
We have more pressing matters before us.
Battle stations!
Take your weapons!
- Okay, Grimlock!
Time for you and the Dinobots to act pre-historic.
- Dinobots, transform and destroy!
- You don't frighten me, you mechanical throwbacks!
- Good, Megatron!
We love stupid enemies!
- Before I let those monsters destroy my city,
I'll use the energy stockpiles and blow Subatlantica,
and everyone on it to nothingness!
- We've gotta stop him!
- The Autobots and their human friend must not return.
- Where's King Nergill?
Here, land creatures,
and look well, because once I throw this switch,
there will be nothing more to see!
- Starscream's right!
Nergill is crazy!
If he wants to blow himself up,
he'll have to do it somewhere else!
- Fool! No one can stop me!
- Come on, Wheeljack.
We've gotta try!
- Back, Autobot. You're too late!
We are all doomed together!
Optimus!
Nergill's detonated his energy stockpiles!
They're gonna blow any astro-second!
- Evacuate at once!
Subatlantica is going to explode!
- Decepticons!
Move out!
- Spike! Bumblebee! Wheeljack!
Where are you?
- We're here!
- Grimlock.
I never thought I'd see you here.
You joke.
Who always saves Autobot hide?
- Then let's finish the job and roll out.
Follow me!
Subatlantica now joins Atlantis in the mist of legend.
- Hey! Nergill's gone!
- Never fear, Spike.
I don't think we'll be hearing from him for a long time.
- I only wish we could say the same thing about the Decepticons.
