The rock has fractured!
Stop the drill before everything explode!
Fool! I warned you this site was unstable!
I was only trying to help!
Emergency! Emergency! Decepticons, transform!
We must seal that crack!
I'll glue it shut with quick set silicone!
Long Haul, load those chemicals into my mixing drum!
Load and Unload. That's the story of my life, Mixmaster!
Lucky for us, you're on the job,
and luckier still the type of genius of a chemist!
Heh, watch!
Well it's about time, Scavenger!
Your sensors should have detected a potential fissure in that rock,
before drilling began!
We could have been blown to oblivion!
Mixmaster, take Scavenger to the surface,
and check all his geologic analyzer circuits.
We were fortunate this time, Megatron.
Next time, your wild scheme to tap the core of the Earth,
could destroy us all!
But if I succeed, Starscream and I will,
- we Decepticons will possess an energy source richer that any in the galaxy:
the molten might of this planet itself.
It's too dangerous.
The Earth is a sphere like this boulder, and it too will shatter,
eradicating everything - including us!
You underestimate me, Starscream. Come.
Follow me.
Sure. Right through that solid rock, I suppose.
Thats the general idea.
What? The rock wall is a hologram, a projected image.
Designed to hide this secret from prying optical sensors.
A space bridge to Cybertron. It is our emergency escape route.
Then if the drill does shatter the Earth...
So be it!
We, will be safe each and every last one of us.
Hey, Jazz! What's with the mud massage?
Chill out, Gears! It'd do wonders for all the pores in your complexion!
Hold on!
Theres supposed to be a river here.
Are you sure about that Sunstreaker?
I can hardly be mistaken about any thing as big and wet as a river.
Let's backtrack.
There. What did I tell ya?
It's a river alright, but its been diverted into that canyon.
And look who's enjoying the view.
Constructicons!
Okay, Scavenger, your geologic analyser circuits are better now,
than the day you were assembled.
Let's transform and return to the base!
Okay, Autobots, move out!
Transform!
Hey! Where'd the Constructicons go?
Nowhere City.
Attention, Megatron.
Aerial Reconaissance report from Laserbeak.
"The river's been diverted into that canyon."
Autobots!
"And look who is enjoying with the view."
"Constructicons"
You iridium-plated idiots!
You were spotted by an Autobot patrol!
All Constructicons to the surface, at once!
Those Autobots must be annihilated before they can transmit our location!
Constructicons, transform and merge into—
Devastator!
Superb.
Now go! Attack without mercy!
Prowl calling headquarters!
I may shatter when i hit,
but the Decepticons will never find my pieces!
Squash Autobots like mechano ants!
Keep drilling! We must reach the Earth's core on schedule!
Unbelievable!
Got to give word of this to headquarters, or... bye bye, planet Earth!
Catch, hotshot!
Jazz! Dazzle that big freak with a light show,
while we demonstrate a little fancy footwork!
Yeah, you got it, Sunstreaker!
I'm afraid Teletraan 1 confirms our worst fears.
The Decepticon drilling operation will shatter the Earth.
We've got to stop it.
I hate to say this, Optimus,
but Devastator tips the odds in Megatron's favor.
Maybe Wheeljack and I have an answer for that, Optimus Prime:
a dominantor disk to override Devastator's Circuits.
And bring him under our control!
Devastator... under Autobot control?
Sure! We secretly place one of these on each of the Constructicons.
When they all join together -
Zap! Our dominator discs will make Devastator ours.
Probably. We hope.
We'll find out tonight, Chip.
Assemble a commando raiding party.
Okay, Ironhide. Freeze the falls!
The water-cooling system for the drill has stopped!
Cease drilling and get to the surface!
To the surface! Fast!
It's like shooting dynametal ducks in a beryllium barrel!
And I mean, dead ducks.
Perfect, vengeance at last.
Let them go.
What? Traitor!
Nonsense. Why destroy a paltry six Autobots,
when we can eliminate them all forever?
They think they're going to gain control of the Devastator,
but I have other plans.
Yes, tell me, please.
In due time, Starscream.
The moment of glory is almost at hand.
When the Autobots attack, we shall be ready.
Some strategy. Can't we do something more clever than just stand here and wait?
Silence! Standby and...
fire!
Now strike their main force!
Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, take off!
Constructicons, transform, quickly!
Here we go, Wheeljack. Good luck!
My digital units are crossed, Chip!
Put me down, Devastator, and attack the Decepticons!
Yes, Optimus Prime. I obey!
Whaaat?
Retreat! Retreat!
It works, Wheeljack! We did it! We did it!
Come on, chief! Let's finish them off!
There's no need.
They're trapped and they have no water so they can't drill.
Let's get back for repairs and mop up later.
Your strategy, eludes me Megatron.
We're prisoners and we've lost our most valuable asset.
We've lost nothing!
I allowed the Autobots to believe Devastator was in their power,
but with this electronic disruptor
I can nullify their control and bring Devastator back under my command.
And at the moment they least expect it—
Devastator will turn on them and destroy them all!
Why didn't you tell me!
I wanted you to believe the battle was real.
You're such a rotten actor you couldn't fool a Saturnian simpleton.
I've stored enough water to cool the drill for its final thrust to the Earth's core.
I still think it's too dangerous!
Simpering coward!
I've been right about everything so far, haven't I?
Y-y-yes, and I forgot.
If anything goes wrong, we can always escape through the space bridge!
You've thought of everything, Megatron.
I always do.
He did it. He welded the perimeter of your micro circuit.
Of courses i did it.
I can perform flawlessly to within one five
hundredth thousandth of a cybertronic mini-inch!
The Decepticons have somehow resumed drilling.
Let's move out! We've gotta stop that drill now!
There's nothing like watching the enemy through Devastators eyes, eh Starscream?
Battle stations!
The Autobots are in for a memorable catastrophe.
Theres the drill! Destroy it, Devastator!
No, Devastator! You will destroy the Autobots, instead!
Yes! I am a Decepticon!
The Dominator disks aren't working! Devastator is free of our control!
Chip!
You're finished!
Now, Devastator! Exterminate the lot of them!
Earthquake! The drill's nearing the Earth's core!
Got to get Devastator back under our control!
Its our only chance outta here!
Careful, Wheeljack!
You could overload his circuits and could fry his logic chips!
You were right! He's out of control!
No! No!
Stop! You're one of us!
The drill's gone berserk!
Emergency!
You and your stupid plans! Everythings out of control!
All Decepticons to the Space Bridge!
No! No!
The space bridge is ruined. We're doomed , just like this whole worthless planet!
No!
Not, if we can stop the drill before it penetrates to the Earth's core!
Funny. We just came to the same conclusion!
No, Starscream!
We're all in this together now.
What's your plan, Prime?
Here's our dominator disk control box.
Give Chip and Wheeljack your nullifier,
and they'll try combining frequencies to bring Devastator back under control.
Yes. Then we'll use them to stop the drill!
Don't do it! It's a trick!
Devastator! Devastator! Helllp!
I do this only for the benefit of my Decepticons.
It grieves me that you may also profit.
W-what... hit me!
Follow me! You've got work to do and fast!
Only two minutes to the core!
Two minutes, till the Earth dies!
Constructicons, transform to Devastator and stop that drill!
Okay! Lets show em what were built for!
Look, guys, if we don't make it, its been great being part of the team!
Hey, we're not scrap iron yet. So don't get drippy!
Now, lets transform!
Ten seconds.
One second!
Are you all right, Chip?
Yeah, I... I think so.
The drill stopped!
It's Devastator!
Well, what have you done with noble Megatron?
I'm afraid mister nobility is busy saving his own neck!
Wrong! He withdrew to fight Autobots another day!
You haven't heard the last of Megatron!
What's the matter, Chip?
I guess I was hoping Devastator might join the Autobots for good, but...
that's probably just a dumb old dream.
Hang on to your dreams, Chip.
The future is built on dreams.
Hang on.
