1
00:00:35,050 --> 00:00:38,491
For centuries now,
the planets Xetaxxis and Lenarq

2
00:00:38,526 --> 00:00:41,906
have engaged in a
senseless and brutal struggle.

3
00:00:41,941 --> 00:00:45,763
Xetaxxis has been nearly destroyed
by Lenarqan attacks,

4
00:00:46,271 --> 00:00:49,394
while Lenarq has suffered
equal devastation.

5
00:00:49,748 --> 00:00:54,563
Both civilizations will be extinct
within one more generation,

6
00:00:54,598 --> 00:00:58,342
unless these negotiations bring peace.

7
00:01:01,168 --> 00:01:03,072
Thanks for the happy news, Melkorr.

8
00:01:03,407 --> 00:01:05,158
Will the envoys of both planets

9
00:01:05,293 --> 00:01:09,360
shake hands and resolve to
see the process through.

10
00:01:12,636 --> 00:01:16,409
I don't think this is how
a peace process is supposed to begin.

11
00:01:27,562 --> 00:01:30,131
Mmm, a strange signal.

12
00:01:31,022 --> 00:01:34,166
Chaar, answer! This is Predaking.

13
00:01:34,498 --> 00:01:37,542
This is Cyclonus. What news, Predaking?

14
00:01:38,197 --> 00:01:42,736
I am diverting,
to investigate a signal sector 9.

15
00:01:43,076 --> 00:01:44,383
What signal?

16
00:01:44,854 --> 00:01:48,807
Unknown.
It is an old Quintesson frequency.

17
00:01:50,251 --> 00:01:54,538
I'll join you at its source.
Be on alert!

18
00:01:54,773 --> 00:01:57,496
The Autobots may also
have recieved the signal.

19
00:01:57,981 --> 00:02:00,800
There is a probability of combat.

20
00:02:00,835 --> 00:02:03,521
Pleased to hear that, Cyclonus.

21
00:02:03,656 --> 00:02:06,962
Very pleased. Predaking out.

22
00:02:09,328 --> 00:02:14,226
Peculiar. A modified wave signal
on the old Quintesson frequency.

23
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:17,080
Sky Lynx, Perceptor calling.

24
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:18,716
Recieving you, Perceptor.

25
00:02:18,751 --> 00:02:24,084
We're intercepting a signal
sourced at coordinates A5xV10.

26
00:02:24,119 --> 00:02:25,896
Where in Prime, is that?

27
00:02:26,342 --> 00:02:29,849
I've always suspected your
astrographic circuits were deficient.

28
00:02:29,884 --> 00:02:31,522
Its in the Angarrix sector.

29
00:02:31,886 --> 00:02:33,547
Mushy circuits, eh?

30
00:02:33,582 --> 00:02:36,126
No wonder we're
late getting back to Cybertron!

31
00:02:36,161 --> 00:02:41,300
Sky Lynx, this may be serious.
That signal is an old Quintesson frequency.

32
00:02:41,365 --> 00:02:44,673
I've locked on to the signal.
We'll trace it for you!

33
00:02:46,826 --> 00:02:49,886
The surface scan fails to
reveal a clearing anywhere.

34
00:02:52,587 --> 00:02:55,316
I can't land. I'll have to drop you.

35
00:02:57,722 --> 00:03:00,800
Well, it's better than
getting bashed into nuts and bolts!

36
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:08,782
Do the best you can!
I'll track above you!

37
00:03:13,822 --> 00:03:16,423
Looks like we've got some cruising to do.

38
00:03:23,163 --> 00:03:25,923
Must make more speed!

39
00:03:43,274 --> 00:03:45,977
Can't get my arms free!

40
00:03:49,995 --> 00:03:52,173
Just a bit! Got it!

41
00:03:57,097 --> 00:04:00,068
My arms, Steeljaw!
Free my arms!

42
00:04:00,556 --> 00:04:01,358
Thats it!

43
00:04:10,086 --> 00:04:11,778
Just returning the favor!

44
00:04:14,754 --> 00:04:18,141
I could really learn to
hate cholorophyl in this place!

45
00:04:18,590 --> 00:04:22,130
Stop talking, and keep walking.
Signal's coming from thataway!

46
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,534
Signal is stronger!
We are very close now!

47
00:04:39,035 --> 00:04:42,579
If we're lucky,
we'll find Autobots there!

48
00:04:50,450 --> 00:04:53,232
Thats the source! Name it and claim it.

49
00:04:53,267 --> 00:04:55,776
I'd lovee to,
but I have no idea what it is.

50
00:04:55,811 --> 00:04:59,469
Still with you,
and it ain't been easy!

51
00:05:01,943 --> 00:05:02,919
Look out!

52
00:05:03,395 --> 00:05:05,591
We can't let it crush that cannister!

53
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,503
Look at the cannister!

54
00:05:21,763 --> 00:05:24,312
At ease, Ramhorn. It's just a projection.

55
00:05:24,447 --> 00:05:26,225
I must have triggered it by accident.

56
00:05:26,260 --> 00:05:28,347
Ears Open! Something's being spoken.

57
00:05:28,382 --> 00:05:31,250
Journal 1122 playback,

58
00:05:31,285 --> 00:05:39,254
containing items 379 MW through 793 BQ,
of the Quintesson Journal.

59
00:05:39,711 --> 00:05:42,984
A complete record of
our commercial enterprises,

60
00:05:43,119 --> 00:05:46,677
technical plans and special projects.

61
00:05:47,598 --> 00:05:48,958
Die, Autobots!

62
00:05:48,993 --> 00:05:50,496
Decepticons!

63
00:05:54,704 --> 00:05:57,078
Sky Lynx! Get us out of here!

64
00:05:57,113 --> 00:05:59,007
On my way!

65
00:06:02,379 --> 00:06:04,883
Predacons, unite!

66
00:06:08,929 --> 00:06:12,858
Revenge, on the Autobot Sky Lynx!

67
00:06:14,198 --> 00:06:17,623
One thorough drubbing wasn't
enough, Predaking?

68
00:06:18,808 --> 00:06:21,197
This time you die!

69
00:06:26,451 --> 00:06:30,036
Sky Lynx, enough fun and games!
Get us out of here!

70
00:06:39,056 --> 00:06:42,711
You still need target practice, Predaking!

71
00:06:45,065 --> 00:06:47,517
Everyone, buckle up!

72
00:06:51,869 --> 00:06:56,493
The signal has stopped.
Predaking must have found the source.

73
00:06:56,528 --> 00:06:59,408
Negative, Cyclonus. Autobots!

74
00:07:00,821 --> 00:07:04,846
Decepticons!
I should have known that was all too easy!

75
00:07:07,630 --> 00:07:11,853
Where in the heavens did
that warp gate come from?

76
00:07:15,968 --> 00:07:19,202
They've vanished! But where?

77
00:07:35,576 --> 00:07:37,729
So, that explains it!

78
00:07:39,703 --> 00:07:44,397
The Quintessons came, for their little toy!

79
00:07:49,898 --> 00:07:52,793
That energy field... just drained me.

80
00:07:57,499 --> 00:08:02,111
I hope you find your
accommodations comfortable.

81
00:08:02,805 --> 00:08:06,716
What are you going to do with Sky Lynx?

82
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:12,675
You cannot transform at the moment.
Just will simply, remain here.

83
00:08:15,961 --> 00:08:20,483
We, thank you for retrieving
this segment of our journal.

84
00:08:26,831 --> 00:08:29,127
Those bars have got good hot swat!

85
00:08:29,162 --> 00:08:31,466
In that case, we'll have to open them up!

86
00:08:33,144 --> 00:08:36,885
Excuse me! You look like you
could use a little energon.

87
00:08:38,203 --> 00:08:38,968
Give me!

88
00:08:38,970 --> 00:08:42,911
Well, these bars present a little
problem, don't you think?

89
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,835
Now, give me!

90
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:50,221
Be glad to.

91
00:08:52,515 --> 00:08:54,360
Was that as easy as I thought it was?

92
00:08:54,395 --> 00:08:56,998
Answer me, when we're back on Cybertron!

93
00:08:58,546 --> 00:09:00,947
Make sure Sky Lynx is ready to launch.

94
00:09:00,982 --> 00:09:02,285
I'll be right there.

95
00:09:04,751 --> 00:09:05,972
Can you fly, Sky Lynx?

96
00:09:06,107 --> 00:09:10,180
I imagine so,
but I seem unable to transform

97
00:09:10,190 --> 00:09:12,020
while in the range of their disruptors.

98
00:09:12,485 --> 00:09:13,741
Come on, Outback!

99
00:09:13,821 --> 00:09:15,478
Let's get out of here!

100
00:09:20,583 --> 00:09:23,885
Setting course for Cybertron, gentlemen!

101
00:09:25,649 --> 00:09:27,088
Decepticons!

102
00:09:28,441 --> 00:09:31,985
No mercy and no mistakes!

103
00:09:38,474 --> 00:09:39,567
Sky Lynx!

104
00:09:39,602 --> 00:09:42,734
Time to stand and fight, fellows!

105
00:09:42,769 --> 00:09:45,963
No! time to destruct!

106
00:09:45,998 --> 00:09:49,083
Predaking, enough! Prepare to depart.

107
00:09:49,118 --> 00:09:52,223
Not until Sky lynx dies!

108
00:09:52,258 --> 00:09:55,554
I'll say who dies and when!

109
00:09:56,044 --> 00:10:00,265
The ion trail from the
Quintesson ship is very strong.

110
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,352
They are close by.

111
00:10:02,387 --> 00:10:05,470
But you said no
mercy, Galvatron!

112
00:10:05,505 --> 00:10:08,444
Very true, so I will show none!

113
00:10:11,999 --> 00:10:15,759
Decepticons, go away from here! Now!

114
00:10:21,961 --> 00:10:24,801
Lies! Lies and falsehoods!

115
00:10:24,936 --> 00:10:28,176
From your mouth only, Xetaxxan!

116
00:10:28,211 --> 00:10:30,314
- Yeah? - Yeah!

117
00:10:30,349 --> 00:10:34,641
No more talk.
Let our actions speak for ourselves!

118
00:10:34,676 --> 00:10:39,232
And Lanarq shall respond in kind, Xetaxxan!

119
00:10:42,479 --> 00:10:45,055
Uh, this...
might be a good time for a break.

120
00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:49,527
Yeah. Couldn't hurt. Seeing as how
everybody's already left anyway.

121
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,903
This is Aagar of Xetaxxis.

122
00:10:55,938 --> 00:11:00,503
We wish to take delivery.
When does ultimate weapon arrive?

123
00:11:00,590 --> 00:11:04,545
Our vehicle has encountered
turbulence in space.

124
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:10,058
Shipment of your ultimate weapon was
delayed, but is now enroute to you.

125
00:11:10,616 --> 00:11:15,894
Good! Finally,
the means to crush Xetaxxis forever!

126
00:11:17,158 --> 00:11:22,275
At last, the defeat of the
Lanarqan dogs draws nigh!

127
00:11:27,154 --> 00:11:29,853
This planet appears on no charts.

128
00:11:29,988 --> 00:11:34,542
We can examine this device, undisturbed.
Activate it.

129
00:11:34,951 --> 00:11:38,343
I don't know how the Autobots made it play!

130
00:11:38,478 --> 00:11:41,217
It is useless unless we get playback!

131
00:11:42,825 --> 00:11:46,809
Item four hundred and fifty-seven.
Tixlara.

132
00:11:46,844 --> 00:11:50,257
This is it! The secrets of
the Quintessons are ours!

133
00:11:50,292 --> 00:11:55,325
A large fleet of Quintesson transport
vessels were sold to Tixlara.

134
00:11:55,460 --> 00:12:00,535
The primitive nuclear fuel requirements
drained the planet's mineral resources,

135
00:12:00,570 --> 00:12:04,594
bringing the Tixlarian economy
under Quintesson control.

136
00:12:04,832 --> 00:12:06,586
This is useless!

137
00:12:06,785 --> 00:12:11,118
We supply manufacturing
facilities to the planet Alaxuu.

138
00:12:11,153 --> 00:12:16,499
Said facilities were designed to
create atmospheric pollutant imbalance.

139
00:12:21,268 --> 00:12:26,031
The resulting isotopic rains
destroyed all vegetation,

140
00:12:26,066 --> 00:12:30,407
which we replaced with Plantobots
at a substantial profit.

141
00:12:32,499 --> 00:12:35,181
Item 793-BQ:

142
00:12:35,216 --> 00:12:40,480
manipulating of the continuing war
between Xetaxxis and Lanarq.

143
00:12:40,515 --> 00:12:42,509
Aren't those not the two planets...?

144
00:12:42,544 --> 00:12:46,655
Between whom the Galactic Peace Council
is attempting to negotiate a ceasefire.

145
00:12:47,803 --> 00:12:50,969
A case study has been
made of this conflict.

146
00:12:51,104 --> 00:12:54,732
I'll bet they'd love to have that
journal at the peace conference.

147
00:12:54,767 --> 00:12:57,229
Then lets get it along
and bring it on home!

148
00:12:57,264 --> 00:12:58,695
All right. On my signal.

149
00:12:58,830 --> 00:13:04,431
Excalating sales of armaments to
both sides has resulted in continuation—

150
00:13:04,666 --> 00:13:07,557
Autobots! They dare to attack us!

151
00:13:15,534 --> 00:13:18,197
Doom to the intruders!

152
00:13:18,432 --> 00:13:19,583
Look out!

153
00:13:32,297 --> 00:13:33,610
Quintessons!

154
00:13:35,436 --> 00:13:37,376
They've got the journal again!

155
00:13:39,306 --> 00:13:42,901
We cannot permit that
device to be re-purloined!

156
00:13:42,992 --> 00:13:47,913
Give up, weakling Autobots!
The Quintesson journal is ours!

157
00:13:48,565 --> 00:13:50,874
Guess again, Galvatron!

158
00:14:01,736 --> 00:14:05,159
This has to stop! Enough! Enough!

159
00:14:05,220 --> 00:14:07,503
Don't you know any gentler games?

160
00:14:09,830 --> 00:14:11,591
Some peace conference?

161
00:14:11,626 --> 00:14:15,569
Peace? We'll be lucky it doesn't
break out a galactic war.

162
00:14:40,376 --> 00:14:43,057
This reminds me of your
wrestling shows on Earth.

163
00:14:43,092 --> 00:14:45,427
At least those are faked, Rodimus.

164
00:14:47,824 --> 00:14:53,117
We need our ultimate weapon now.
Lanarq must be obliterated!

165
00:14:58,074 --> 00:15:00,193
This is the last straw!

166
00:15:00,228 --> 00:15:04,790
When our ultimate weapon
arrives, we will destroy Xetaxxis!

167
00:15:11,702 --> 00:15:15,075
We must have the weapon
by the next moon orbit!

168
00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:20,793
We understand your situation.
Yes, the device is on board.

169
00:15:20,828 --> 00:15:25,878
Delivery has confirmed your destination.
Transport, out.

170
00:15:26,834 --> 00:15:31,365
We've had enough delays already!
We are ready to proceed!

171
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,128
We know it is urgent.

172
00:15:33,163 --> 00:15:37,080
The device is on board and
we are on schedule.

173
00:15:37,539 --> 00:15:42,213
Delivery has confirmed your destination.
Transport out.

174
00:15:43,283 --> 00:15:47,950
I have never seen two planets
more eager to blow each other to dust.

175
00:15:48,942 --> 00:15:53,086
What matter,
so long as we, reap the profits?

176
00:15:53,624 --> 00:15:54,561
What the—?

177
00:15:57,222 --> 00:15:59,379
Decepticons!

178
00:15:59,459 --> 00:16:03,514
Perhaps we should just use one of
the two omega bombs we're carrying.

179
00:16:03,549 --> 00:16:08,903
Wasteful. One of those
things can vaporize a planet.

180
00:16:08,938 --> 00:16:13,887
Yes. To say nothing of
vaporizing half our profits.

181
00:16:14,180 --> 00:16:17,264
Better to elude them
with another warp gate.

182
00:16:23,476 --> 00:16:27,728
So, which of our clients
will take delivery first?

183
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,703
Simultaneous delivery.

184
00:16:29,738 --> 00:16:34,264
Both planets must survive long
enough for us to get paid.

185
00:16:36,029 --> 00:16:39,094
Internal pressure dropping rapidly.

186
00:16:40,937 --> 00:16:43,364
Seal the breach! Alert the shuttles!

187
00:16:47,356 --> 00:16:48,619
I have it!

188
00:16:48,654 --> 00:16:52,295
Head for the Peace Conference, Sky Lynx!
Give it all you've got!

189
00:16:54,660 --> 00:16:57,455
Come on. Come back to the table.
What'll it cost you?

190
00:16:57,490 --> 00:17:02,281
Your conference is over and
the war will be over soon enough!

191
00:17:03,114 --> 00:17:07,799
Correct! And you are its next casualty!

192
00:17:09,426 --> 00:17:10,704
Just a moment!

193
00:17:19,366 --> 00:17:22,024
The Decepticons give us
less trouble than this!

194
00:17:22,819 --> 00:17:26,217
This Peace Conference is hereby reconvened!

195
00:17:26,549 --> 00:17:29,206
Never! Death to Lanarq!

196
00:17:29,241 --> 00:17:32,357
Not if Xetaxxis dies first!

197
00:17:35,956 --> 00:17:38,513
Stop it! You'll destroy yourselves!

198
00:17:49,223 --> 00:17:51,858
This a peace conference
or a slam dance party?

199
00:17:51,893 --> 00:17:53,183
Observe!

200
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,633
In the third stage,

201
00:17:57,668 --> 00:18:01,992
medium powered handweapons
were sold to both Xetaxxis and Lanarq.

202
00:18:02,027 --> 00:18:07,017
Higher profit margins were not achieved
until the sale of interplanetary weapons.

203
00:18:07,152 --> 00:18:08,621
Unbelievable!

204
00:18:08,656 --> 00:18:12,512
Profit margins?
From blowing up our cities?

205
00:18:13,213 --> 00:18:18,086
Fleet sales of warships
increased profits by a factor of five.

206
00:18:18,529 --> 00:18:20,986
Newer weapons sold to Xetaxxis

207
00:18:21,021 --> 00:18:26,287
generated equalising sales
to Lanarq and vice versa.

208
00:18:26,869 --> 00:18:29,945
Quintesson profits from
the Lanarq-Xetaxxis War

209
00:18:29,980 --> 00:18:32,746
have increased steadily for centuries.

210
00:18:32,781 --> 00:18:34,683
A textbook case.

211
00:18:34,718 --> 00:18:39,325
We have endured these horrors so
the Quintessons could profit?

212
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:41,411
Congratulations.

213
00:18:41,446 --> 00:18:46,742
It's taken you only a few thousand
years to comprehend your folly,

214
00:18:46,877 --> 00:18:49,520
and we shall reward your perceptiveness,

215
00:18:49,555 --> 00:18:53,765
by providing you your
'ultimate weapons' as promised—

216
00:18:54,460 --> 00:18:59,442
already armed,
and set to explode on impact.

217
00:18:59,577 --> 00:19:00,594
Are you ready

218
00:19:00,629 --> 00:19:02,593
- ... to take delivery? - Look!

219
00:19:04,187 --> 00:19:06,004
A Quintesson cruiser!

220
00:19:06,139 --> 00:19:07,822
The bombs must be aboard!

221
00:19:07,857 --> 00:19:10,355
- Move! - Go! Go!

222
00:19:16,990 --> 00:19:18,366
Now, Ultra Magnus!

223
00:19:20,246 --> 00:19:21,417
Its working!

224
00:19:21,452 --> 00:19:23,366
One last burst!

225
00:19:31,103 --> 00:19:34,266
And thats how the Quintessons
treat their clients!

226
00:19:37,903 --> 00:19:41,939
I don't like you or your people, Xetaxxan.

227
00:19:41,974 --> 00:19:46,796
We don't like you either,
but we like a pointless war even less.

228
00:19:46,831 --> 00:19:50,497
Then you live on your
world and we live on ours.

229
00:19:50,532 --> 00:19:51,670
Agreed?

230
00:19:51,705 --> 00:19:55,559
I guess they'll never be the best friends,
but at least the shooting is over.

231
00:19:55,978 --> 00:19:58,179
We better lock this thing up on Cybertron.

232
00:19:58,690 --> 00:20:02,136
It's sad, really.
All those centuries of war...

233
00:20:02,770 --> 00:20:05,569
And the only winners...
were the Quintessons.
