RISE OF THE CONSTRUCTICONS
(Aboard the Nemesis)
SOUNDWAVE: Lord Megatron, we have received contact.
MEGATRON: Is that so? Put them online.
SCRAPPER: All hail Megatron!
MEGATRON: Ah, Scrapper. I've been expecting your call for nearly two months now.
SCRAPPER: Ah, yes. I... apologize for the delay. Anyway, I have my group ready. What are your orders?
MEGATRON: Head for Earth and begin the first stage in the plan.
SCRAPPER: We're on it, my lord. All right, boys... it's constructin' time!
(Meanwhile, Autobot Base on Earth)
RATCHET: Oh, this is just great. We've lost the Skyspy. Apparently it wasn't as inconspicuous as I would have liked.
OPTIMUS PRIME: Well, that's just Prime.
BUMBLEBEE: So, now what do we do?
RATCHET: Well, we could try sneaking onto the 'Cons ship... but that's stupid. (Computer beeps) Great. Now what?
PROWL: It seems to be coming from a construction site. Don't know why the 'Cons are there...
OPTIMUS PRIME: Best way to find out is to go there. Bumblebee, Ironhide, roll out! (They drive off)
RATCHET: Hey, Prowl?
PROWL: Yeah?
RATCHET: How come you never leave the base?
PROWL: I don't like humans.
RATCHET: Why not?
PROWL: They're smelly, lowly intelligent, and stupid.
RATCHET: Those last two are the same thing.
PROWL: I know. Because it's worth mentioning twice. And they're smelly.
RATCHET: Okay, I get it!
(At the construction site)
OPTIMUS PRIME: Well, I don't see any sign of the Decepticons here.
BUMBLEBEE: You don't think we got a false alarm, do you?
OPTIMUS PRIME: I'm somewhat doubtful of that, Bumblebee. Something isn't right here. You stay here and keep watch. Ironhide and I will search the area.
BUMBLEBEE: Great...
IRONHIDE: Huh. My scanners are still puckin' up 'Con signatures! But I don't-- AHHH! (He is hit by a crane arm) What the heck?! Did that crane just hit me?!
(The crane transformers)
HOOK: My sincerest apologies, Autobot. I didn't realize you were there!
IRONHIDE: Who the spark are you?
HOOK: The name is Hook. I'm a surgical engineer of the Constructicons, and I'm one of Scrapper's two advisors. Any questions?
IRONHIDE: ...No.
HOOK: Good. Constructicons, attack!
(Nearby, Bumblebee overhears the fighting)
BUMBLEBEE: What's going on over there? Hang on, guys! I'm coming! (He is grabbed from behind) Wha?! Hey! Let go!
SCAVENGER: I don't think so.
SCRAPPER: Ah, well done, Scavenger. Excellent bait for the Autobot leader. Hightower, cast the lure!
HIGHTOWER: Heh-heh-heh!
IRONHIDE: Take that, ya' Decepti-creep!
COMM: Optimus?
OPTIMUS PRIME: Bumblebee? What is it?
COMM: Come -ere.
OPTIMUS PRIME: Ironhide?
IRONHIDE: Don't worry, Prime. I can handle these guys.
OPTIMUS PRIME: Hang on, Bumblebee! I'm coming!
(Aboard the Nemesis)
MEGATRON: Ha! Now that the Autobots are distracted, Barricade can retrieve the last energon we'll need!
STARSCREAM: My lord, isn't it risky to send all of the Constructicons to fight the Autobots? What if one of them dies? Then the plan--
MEGATRON: Unlikely, Starscream. If I know the Autobots, they wouldn't be so quick in killing any of us.
STARSCREAM: And what if you're wrong?
MEGATRON: Then we go to plan B.
(Meanwhile)
WHEELJACK: *Sigh* There! I finished your stupid blueprints! Now can I go?!
KNOCK OUT: Hmm... very good! And no.
WHEELJACK: What?! Why?!
KNOCK OUT: Duh! So you don't tell the Autobots what we're up to!
WHEELJACK: Well, at least wipe my memory core! Anything to get off this ship!
KNOCK OUT: Well, while I could do that... I won't. Bye!
WHEELJACK: Hey! Come back here, you-- (He gets shocked) AGH!
(Earth)
OPTIMUS PRIME: Bumblebee? Where are you?
SCAVENGER: Right here.
OPTIMUS PRIME: Ahh! Who are you?!
SCAVENGER: We are the Constructicons. And we're here to destroy you. What more do you need to know?
OPTIMUS PRIME: ...Maybe where the heck Bumblebee is?
SCAVENGER: Oh, him? We're taking him to Megatron. Always nice to have an extra Autobot prisoner.
OPTIMUS PRIME: Not on my watch!
SCAVENGER: That's what I thought. Let's get him!
(The Constructicons attack and Optimus goes wild with his axe; knocking aside Scrapper, cutting off Hightower's crane arm, and shooting Scavenger)
SCAVENGER: Honestly... is that the best you could do?
(Nearby)
IRONHIDE: Dang, you guys are tough! I'm really gettin' sick of this!
HOOK: There's always the option of surrendering....
IRONHIDE: Thanks for the offer... but I'll pass! Prime, what's your status? (He sees OP fighting Scavenger) Nevermind.
SCRAPPER: (Grabs Bumblebee) Well, while Scavenger is keeping your friend busy... I'm taking you to-- (He gets knocked out by Ironhide)
BUMBLEBEE: Uh... thanks.
IRONHIDE: Don't mention it. Now c'mon, Prime needs our help.
SCAVENGER: I never thought I'd get the chance... to destroy the mighty Optimus--
(Out of nowhere, Lugnut arrives and delivers his PUNCH, clearing the battlefield)
LUGNUT: Constructicons... Megatron needs you on the Nemesis.
SCAVENGER: Very well.
(They leave by the time the Autobots recover)
OPTIMUS PRIME: Oogh...
PROWL: Optimus? This is Prowl. You okay?
OPTIMUS PRIME: We're fine, Prowl... but not for long.
MEGATRON: Well, thanks to the finished blueprints and the energon Barricade recovered... our project is ready!
SCRAPPER: Excellent! What's our first target?
MEGATRON: Knock Out managed to salvage the remains of the Autobot drone. In its databanks, he found the location... of the Autobots' ship!
SCRAPPER: And you want us to destroy it because...?
MEGATRON: Because I said so. Now go. Initiate the gestalt formation... and destroy the Autobots!
