Great race, wasn't it, Chip?
Yeah, but hey, it would be really be terrific if the Autobots were in it.
Like a big race for charity.
If Optimus Prime would go for it.
Let's find out.
Ready to roll home, guys?
Sure, Bumblebee.
One limo-bot coming up.
Bumblebee, how would you feel about a little racing?
Okay, so long as its under the speed limit.
Constructicons, attention.
When will you complete the transfixatron?
In one moment, Master Megatron.
The transfixatron is finished.
Splendid, splendid, Scrapper!
Laserbeak, report on your surveillance of the small humans.
Yeah, but hey, it would be really terrific if Autobots were in it.
Like a big race for charity.
If Optimus Prime would go for it.
Enough, Soundwave.
I'll shall make good use of that information,
after I test the transfixatron.
That Transfixatron, my afterburner.
Instead of wasting time on that,
you should have been leading us against the Autobots!
That idiotic contraption probably won't even work!
Let's find out, Starscream.
Transform.
No, Megatron! You can't mean to-
What's a test without a guinea pigatron?
Transform, I say!
As you command.
Now, let us see if this "idiotic contraption" works!
Ha! I feel nothing!
Your precious invention is hi-tech garbage!
Really?
Then transform back to your root mode, Starscream,
and come back to me.
Uh... I... I can't transform!
What have you done to me?
I have transfixed you in your present state,
and you will stay that way until I free you.
Release me, Megatron.
Please! I'll do anything you command!
Hm... perhaps I should leave you as a jet plane, forever!
You can't leave me like this!
I'm too valuable to you,
to the Decepticon cause!
Megatron, I'm begging you!
Oh, stop whining!
I'll neutralize the effect.
I shall use the transfixatron against our Autobot foes.
Meanwhile, Contructicons, begin production of the second device.
- and the ticket money goes to charity.
So what do you say, Optimus Prime?
It is a worthy cause,
and we have been rather inactive lately.
Go for it, Optimus.
I need a heat or I'll rust out.
I'm sure a large audience would enjoy my performance.
Huh. Just a waste of time and energy if you ask me.
Who's asking you, party pooper?
On the other hand, Huffer, somebody's got to stay here and stand guard.
Tell you what, Huffer? Wheeljack and I will keep you company.
Alright then.
Autobots, transform.
Roll for the show!
And now to compete in the greatest automobile race in history:
Ladies and gentlemen, our celebrity guests
the sensational Autobots!
Hey, where are their cars?
Some people are in for a surprise.
Let's give them a show they'll never forget!
Autobots, transform!
Let's get this show on a roll!
Got lead in your driveshaft?
I don't see you breaking the sound barrier, Ironhide!
Come on, Ironhide!
Trailbreaker, you can do it!
Show time!
Out of my way, you snail racer slowpokes!
I don't like to show off
but since it's for charity...
Okay, mirage, you wanna play fancy?
Hang on to your muffler!
A little drivin' music, and away we go!
Wish I were going with them. To fight!
When this device is ready, it will wreck those Autobots good, Long Haul.
They won't know what hit them.
Teleportation complete, Megatron.
I'm directly over the raceway.
Deploy Transfixatron before they see you!
What was that?
I don't know!
Uh, probably just energy evaporation from all the speed, maybe... I hope...
I hope.
Well, Skywarp?
They never knew what hit 'em!
Excellent.
Treachery is your forte, my dear Skywarp.
Now the Autobots can no longer call themselves...
Transformers!
Hey, Trailbreaker.
Did you feel a wierd jolt in your circuitry a minute ago?
You're just an excuse, Ironhide, old buddy,
but you're still losing the race!
Finish line dead ahead, Jazz!
Then lets whip up some dust!
Bye bye, Mirage, baby!
Come on, Autobots!
Floor those accelerators! You're almost home!
Ladies and gentlemen!
The winner of the Autobot run is, uh... whoa, uh...
Well, I guess the real winners are us folks!
It's been a whale of a show!
And now for the next event,
The Autobots will perform some incredible car stunts!
Okay, guys! line up, one next to the other.
If you're going to do what I think, Sunstreaker,
you've got boom glitches in your brain garage.
Aw, lay off, Mirage. Give Mr. Ego a chance.
What are they doing, Spike?
Making Evel Knievel look like a kiddie car driver.
Sunstreaker, wait!
You won't be able to get up enough momentum to clear that distance!
Don't worry, Prime!
When the built me, they broke the rule!
I always said you were moody!
Uh-oh! Not enough momentum!
I'm not gonna make it!
Huh? Thanks for the magnetic field, Windcharger!
But be careful when you send me down!
I just had a new wax job! I don't wanna scar my patina!
Well guys, whats next?
I'm for anything except demolition derbying.
Uh-Oh! If my scope's picking up what I think it is,
the show is over.
Decepticons! Prepare for attack! Autobots, Transform!
Ah, Optimus, somethings haywire!
I... I can't transform!
Me neither!
We're stuck in Vehiclular mode!
I can't change back to my normal, handsome self!
It seems you Autobots have a slight identity problem.
Thanks to my transfixatron, you will remain trapped in vehicular mode...
forever!
Now if these earth germs will kindly leave the premises.
That's better.
Now we can accomplish the purpose of our little visit.
The total destruction of our helpless foes.
We can't transform, but we're not helpless.
Autobots, roll for it!
You overconfident fool! Destroy him and his minions.
Get in before the Decepticons see us!
But what about our friends?
We can do more to help them back at headquarters!
C'mon guys!
Don't let a few flat tires stop ya!
Live 'n' roll!
Time to turn on the heat!
Incendiary blasts! Making me overheat!
Ahh! I'm getting sunburn on the inside!
Finish the job, Soundwave,
and be sure they are not able to contact Autobot headquarters.
As you command, Megatron.
Their communicators will be made useless.
Excellent. Now take them away.
And to make things worse,
we can't make radio contact with Optimus and the others.
I knew the racing bit was bad news, but would anyone listen to me?
Oh, noooo!
Stifle it, Huffer, or I'll put my footio in your audio!
Is not over yet.
We still have Teletraan 1.
What's your plan, Chip?
I'm feeding Teletraan 1 your transforming process data.
Maybe it can tell us what went wrong.
Hm. According to those figures,
the only thing that could prevent transformation, is some kind of...
transfixation ray.
What if Megatron came up with such a thing?
Well, we could devise an ultra-frequency ray to counteract its effect.
Then let's get on it!
Ratchet! Tool!
Ironic, isn't it, Autobots,
that after so many valiant battles,
you will meet your end in the crushing jaws of this device
so lovingly fashioned by my Constructicons.
Ah, get on with it, Megatron. Spare us the windbag routine.
As you wish.
But first, a demonstration of your fate.
Bring out the Decepticon Body Shell!
Long Haul, do the honors.
Hey, look! It's one of Hound's holograms!
Teletraan 1 should be able to fix on that location.
Yes, Teletraan 1 pinpointed it exactly.
Alert. Energy transmission detected.
Transmission terminated.
Charming. Your remains will take up very little room on the scrapheap.
Long Haul, Scrapiron,
I suggest that the talkative Ironhide be your first client.
Finally we're gonna make little Autobots out of big ones! Ha-Ha
We must help Ironhide.
Come on, Autobots!
We can't let Prime do it all himself.
If he can crank up, we can too!
Bah, leave them to the tender mercies of my Constructicons.
Their pathetically brave stance is useless.
The Autobots are helpless in their automotive form.
Later, guys. It's been really great knowin' ya.
Huh, done.
I can't believe how fast we put it together.
If we are right,
this grenade will release energy rays
that'll counteract Megatron's transfixation.
Yeah, but if you're wrong...
Then we might possible do even more harm than has already been done.
Then we've got to test the grenade.
There isn't time!
We already know where the Autobots were taken!
But we're outnumbered!
What's wrong, Huffer? Your backbone infrastructure turnin yellow?
Brawn is right.
If it might save our friends, we've got to take the chance.
There's gotta be something we can do!
Maybe there is, Cliffjumper.
Hey, what's that?
I think it's a target!
I'd call it a TARGET!
Demolish it!
Now while Roller has thei attention...
I knew you'd come through, Prime!
And not an astrosecond too soon!
You fools!
Do you think you have escaped the inevitable?
I hope we're in time.
I don't believe it!
This can't be happenning!
Well, what are we waiting for?
To use that anti-transfixation grenade!
Your termination is overdue, earth crawlers!
Wheeljack, protect that grenade!
Grenade, eh? We'll see to that!
What is it? A heat-seeking missile!
Spike, the grenade!
Got it!
But not for long!
Give the grenade to me, human microbe.
Not this time, Soundwave!
Chip!
Think fast!
Now, if I can just get close enough to the Autobots...
Ravage, stop him!
If it doesn't work, we've all bought the farm.
I'm transforming!
I see my true beauty emerging!
All of us can transform again!
Supercharges, Optimus! We're like we were!
A bit battered, old friend, but alive.
You won't last long enough for repairs, Optimus!
Constructicons, end this charade! Now!
At last! Conflict! Hitting! Destroying!
Constructicons, transform!
Now Phase Two!
Goodbye, Autobots! Devastator is back!
You know what they say.
The bigger they are, the louder they crash!
Surrender to your fate, puny dolts!
We ain't licked yet! Let em have it, Optimus.
Extinguish their laser cores forever, Devastator!
Finish them!
Cliffjumper! Reply!
Are you still functioning?
There must be some way to whip that tower of scrap!
Hey Cliffjumper, help me grab the transfixatron.
We'll give em a taste of their own electro-medicine!
You got it, buddy!
Prepare for oblivion, Autobots!
Hey, Devastator! You'll get a real charge outta this!
Those beams. They make me feel strange!
If my theory is correct,
the transfixatron oughta cancel Devastator's Robot form.
Cannot... maintain transformation identity!
It's not possible! They've beaten Devastator!
And now we're gonna beat you, Megatron!
Ain't we, fellas?
We're outnumbered!
Let me guess: we retreat?
Ironhide, Trailbreaker,
I believe you know what to do.
With pleasure, Prime!
Now, back to headquarters, for rest, recovery and-
Repairs, repairs, repairs.
Sometimes, being an automotive genius isn't all its cracked up to be.
