AUTOBOT RESCUE, PART I
(Autobot HQ, Cybertron)
JETFIRE: All right, guys, I think it's about time we free our fellow 'bots. According to this info Kup sent me, four Autobots' sparks are being held at Darkmount. And it's up to use to free them.
WARPATH: Blam! Let's pound 'em!
RICOCHET: Yeah!
SUNSTREAKER: We're freeing my brother out of there!
JETFIRE: ... Well, I do admire your enthusiasm. Alright, Autobots! Transform and roll out!
POWERGLIDE: Um, sir?
JETFIRE: Yes, Powerglide?
POWERGLIDE: I can only fly.
JETFIRE: ... Just GO.
(Space, aboard the Trion)
BLURR: I still wonder who caused our ship to blow up...
SPRINGER: I'm pretty sure it was Bludgeon's gang.
BLURR: Maybe... I don't know, something about it just doesn't seem right.
(In the Stunticons' cell, a small device starts beeping)
BREAKDOWN: Eh?
DEAD END: What the spark is that?
[NOTE: The device speaks via radio; the guards cannot hear]
STRAXUS: (via device) Ah, good to see this device still works. Well, Breakdown, I see that you and the others have failed.
BREAKDOWN: Yes, Lord Straxus. I... deeply apologize.
STRAXUS: Ah, no matter. I have no doubt that the Autobots are headed here, yes? Then I suppose it is time to set up defenses.
(Back on Cybertron)
JETFIRE: How much farther now, Cliffjumper?
CLIFFJUMPER: About five more megamiles, Jetfire. You know, it's strange... we've gotten this far without any opposition! Makes you wonder if they're--
(Dirge lands in front of them and starts blasting)
CLIFFJUMPER: What the-?!
RICOCHET: Whoa!
DIRGE: Death comes to those who cross me.
RICOCHET: Oh yeah...? (He shoots at him but Dirge transforms and flies off)
WARPATH: Step aside, Ricochet! I'll handle this guy! BANG! (He fires his chest cannon but misses and is blasted away by Dirge) AHHH!
RICOCHET: Yeah, I'm really impressed... (He gets punched in the face)
(Brawl and a horde of Decepticons show up)
BRAWL: Think that was impressive? Well, then... prepare to be astonished!
(At the Iacon Port, the Trion touches down and a Councilor greets them)
COUNCILOR: Well, Sergeant Kup... I see that you've captured a few Decepticons.
KUP: Yes, sir. They were sent to Earth by Straxus. Apparently, their sparks were placed in Autobot bodies, who most likely had their--
COUNCILOR: I know, sergeant! You just sent Jetfire a message about it!
BLURR: He has a point, you know...
KUP: Shut. Up.
COUNCILOR: Anyway, Sergeant, you may take the Decepticons to the detention center until the Autobot sparks are returned.
PERCEPTOR: You didn't need to act like that, Councilor...
COUNCILOR: These Autobots must be disciplined, Perceptor.
PERCEPTOR: But Kup's a veteran!
COUNCILOR: It matters not. Besides, experience doesn't always prevent rebellion...
(At Darkmount, battle is breaking out)
WARPATH: We're gettin' pounded out here, Jetfire!
JETFIRE: I know, Warpath... but we've gotta get through 'em in order to free our comrades!
(Within Darkmount)
STRAXUS: How persistent. Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble. By the pricking of my thumbs... something wicked this way comes.
(Outside)
WARPATH: Blam!
SFX: THOOM. THOOM.
POWERGLIDE: Where's that sound coming from...?
CLIFFJUMPER: Uh-oh...
(A three-headed beast (based on RID Bruticus) breaks out and lands on the battlefield)
BRUTICUS: RARGH!
RICOCHET: Trion's Beard! What is that thing?! (Cliffjumper is in shock) Um... Cliff', you okay?
CLIFFJUMPER: EEEK! (He runs away)
JETFIRE: Autobots, fall back and regroup! We'll have to take on this thing from afar!
POWERGLIDE: Maybe we should call in the Aerialbots for air support!
JETFIRE: Good idea. I'll give Silverbolt a call.
(In Darkmount)
RAMJET: Are you sure it's wise to unleash Bruticus, Lord Straxus?
STRAXUS: Indeed I do, Ramjet. I even consulted the idea with Onslaught.
RAMJET: But Bruticus is an uncaged beast, my lord... if he goes out of control, he may destroy us all!
STRAXUS: Indeed, he may... but I'll insure he won't.
BRUTICUS: Yes! Yes! Destruction! Destruction everywhere we see! And forever shall Cybertron burn!
(He gets shocked by Straxus remotely)
STRAXUS: Tut, tut, we cannot have that. Did I not make it clear to only destroy the Autobots? Understood?
BRUTICUS: Yes, master.
(Autobot HQ)
ULTRA MAGNUS: Nightbeat, any progress?
NIGHTBEAT: Well, I've found a bot called Rattletrap who knew Rocky rather well. Apparently, Rocky only fell in with the 'Cons for spare parts. But he didn't intentionally give info to them.
ULTRA MAGNUS: Then how did he?
NIGHTBEAT: With this. A cerebro shell, a Decepticon device. My guess is that the cerebro-shell controlled Rocky into giving the 'Cons the info they needed.
ULTRA MAGNUS: I see... any idea what said info was?
NIGHTBEAT: Now that, Ultra Magnus... is a question only you can answer for yourself.
(Back in Polyhex, the Aerialbots arrive)
SILVERBOLT: Silverbolt to Jetfire! The Aerialbots are en route!
JETFIRE: Good to hear that, Silverbolt... now see if you can take down that beast!
SILVERBOLT: On it!
(They fire on Bruticus, who breathes fire in their direction)
BRUTICUS: Pestering Autobots!
STRAXUS: Bruticus, it's time we showed these Autobots a lesson. Commence transformation.
BRUTICUS: As you wish, Master.
(Bruticus transforms to robot mode as Straxus narrate)
STAXUS: Cry havoc... and let slip the dogs of war. As fire drive out fire, so pity... so pity.
BRUTICUS: Now... FALL, AUTOBOTS!
