WHERE IS THY STING?
(Mirage and Bumblebee are out exploring when Mirage gets a call)
OPTIMUS PRIME(?): Mirage, have you and Bumblebee found the energon source, yet?
MIRAGE: Not yet, Prime.
OPTIMUS PRIME(?): Well, you better hurry. Megatron's spies are always watching.
MIRAGE: I know, Prime.
OPTIMUS PRIME(?): We wouldn't want something bad to happen, would we?
MIRAGE: Nope...
OPTIMUS PRIME(?): We wouldn't want someone changing their minds for no reason, would we?
MIRAGE: ...Cliffjumper, is this you?
(Turns out "Optimus" was just Cliffjumper wearing an Optimus Prime voice changer mask)
CLIFFJUMPER: Nooooo....
MIRAGE: *sigh* Find anything, Bumblebee?
BUMBLEBEE: Yeah, you should check this out.
MIRAGE: Uh... isn't Energon normally purple or blue and not... pink?
BUMBLEBEE: You tell me. Want me to radio H.Q.?
MIRAGE: Sure, as long as Cliff' doesn't answer.
(Meanwhile, aboard the Nemesis)
STARSCREAM: I simply do not understand the logic, my lord... We know the location of the Autobots' base, so why don't we attack it?!
MEGATRON: We also know the location of Iacon. Why don't we simply attack it?
STARSCREAM: Because it's heavily protected?
MEGATRON: Precisely.
STARSCREAM: But--
MEGATRON: You may not be able to notice it, but I am. Vehicon 910, attack the Ark.
VEHICON: YEE-HAW! (He flies to the Ark and gets blown up)
STARSCREAM: Oh.
MEGATRON: They did more than simply repair.
STARSCREAM: So, what are we supposed to do?
MEGATRON: I have hired someone to capture an Autobot... and bring them to me!
STARSCREAM: ...Yeah, like that's ever worked before.
(Later)
BUMBLEBEE: What do you mean we didn't bring any excavation machines?
WHEELJACK: Well, we did, but then the Ark crashed, and they got damaged so...
BUMBLEBEE: Okay, so how are we gonna--?
SFX: SHWOOM! (Two new Autobots - Bulkhead and Spiral - show up)
SPIRAL: Stuck in another situation, 'Bee? Why am I not surprised?
MIRAGE: Who are they, 'Bee?
BUMBLEBEE: Bulkhead? Spiral?
(Several years ago)
GOLDBUG: All right, you cogs, line up! You're here today so you can fulfill your dreams. How do I know this? Because that's why everyone comes to boot camp! To move up in the world! So, that's why I'm here; to crush your dreams. Why? Because you're gonna hate your job. How do I know that? 'Cause I hate mine. Now then, roll call!
SPIRAL!
BUMBLEBEE!
WASP!
ARMORHIDE!
LONGARM!
GOLDBUG: Hm... We seem to be missing someone. Where's--?
BULKHEAD: Here I am, sir! Sorry. The robo-chickens had a severe nano-flea problem.
GOLDBUG: Oh, spark, a mudflap of all mechs... All right, Mudflap--
BULKHEAD: Bulkhead.
GOLDBUG: Whatever. Stand next to Spiral and Bumblebee.
BULKHEAD: Sorry. My bad.
BUMBLEBEE: S'okay.
GOLDBUG: Now then, thanks to Buckethead's lack of punctuality... twenty transform ups!
BULKHEAD: Sorry...
GOLDBUG: NOW! One! Two! Three!
(Present)
BUMBLEBEE: So, how did you find us?
SPIRAL: We detected the energon signal.
BUMBLEBEE: But why did you come here?
SPIRAL: We were low on fuel.
BUMBLEBEE: Oh. So, you're not planning on staying for very long?
SPIRAL: Not really. Bulkhead and I are on a mission to Akalo for Perceptor, and meet with Windmill's crew. You're free to come with us.
BUMBLEBEE: Well...
SPIRAL: I mean, you're not doing much, are you?
BUMBLEBEE: Yeah, but... this is Optimus Prime's crew I'm on. He's, like, the top bot.
SPIRAL: But you, me, and Bulkhead are like... best of friends.
BUMBLEBEE: Yeah...
SPIRAL: It'd be just like boot camp!
(Past)
BUMBLEBEE: I'm sorry, sir! I didn't know you were--!
GOLDBUG: (covered in oil) Don't. Care. Sort out all of the crates in the warehouse. IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER!
BUMBLEBEE: Okay, okay! Gosh, sure are a lot of crates.
VOICE: Lord Megatron will speak with you now.
MEGATRON: Why exactly am I taking the time to speak with you?
SPY: I have something of interest to you, my lord.
MEGATRON: And what would that be?
SPY: Intel on the Cybertron Elite Guard. I made a copy of the data given by my drill sergeant. I shall send it to you now.
MEGATRON: Hm. This intel seems to be reliable. If this turns out to be legit... I will be contacting you again.
SPY: Thank you, Lord Megatron.
BUMBLEBEE: This can't be good...
(Later; Bumblebee is peeking through a window with a recorder)
BULKHEAD: What'cha doin'?
BUMBLEBEE: There's a Decepticon spy.
BULKHEAD: Really? Who?
BUMBLEBEE: I think it's Wasp.
BULKHEAD: Why?
BUMBLEBEE: 'Cause he's a jerk.
BULKHEAD: But he's right over there!
BUMBLEBEE: Huh?! Then... who am I--
GOLDBUG: So I said... that Sentinel Prime is yesterday's model and that if this Decepticon thing turns to war, then-- (He spots Bumblebee) Fifty transform-ups.
(Present)
BULKHEAD: I think that's all of-- No, wait, there's more.
MIRAGE: Better hurry. Don't want any unwanted company from the 'Cons.
SPIRAL: Speaking of 'Cons, remember that spy you were trying to catch?
BUMBLEBEE: Huh?
SPIRAL: Before the war, at boot camp, you were trying to catch some spy.
MIRAGE: Don't any of you go "Cliffjumper" on me.
BUMBLEBEE: Heh, I'm surprised you remember that. Even though it got me into plenty of trouble, I soon found evidence that Wasp was indeed a spy. I showed it to Goldbug, who was convinced and had Wasp taken away. I'll never forget the look on his face.
SPIRAL: Cool. So, about coming with me and Bulk...
BUMBLEBEE: I don't know, Spiral. I'd love to, but... *sigh* I just can't leave behind the friends I've made here.
MIRAGE: I'd leave behind Cliffjumper, Gears, and--
BUMBLEBEE: No, I mean guys like you and Wheeljack and even Ratchet! I'm sorry, Spiral. I just can't leave my family.
SPIRAL: Hey, that's totally cool, 'Bee. But remember, if you change your mind--
BUMBLEBEE: Heh, I know.
SPIRAL: Mind if we use this to refuel?
BUMBLEBEE: Sure. Don't know why it's pink though.
SPIRAL: See ya' later, 'Bee!
BUMBLEBEE: Bye, guys!
SFX: THWOOSH!
MIRAGE: ...You sooo have a crush on her.
BUMBLEBEE: Who are you, Tracks?
(Elsewhere)
ALARM: Alert! Alert! Prison breakout in section 113!
OFFICER: All units, report to cell block 827! Checkpoint, report!
CHECKPOINT: Uh, good news or bad news first?
OFFICER: Whichever.
CHECKPOINT: Well, bad news: he's escaped.
OFFICER: And the good news?
CHECKPOINT: He couldn't have gotten far. Tell a lie; he's just gotten through a space bridge.
OFFICER: Scrap...
(In space, Wasp emerges from the space bridge)
WASP: Why universe hate Wasp...? Wasp will have revenge!
(The Nemesis)
MEGATRON: Report.
SPY: I have retrieved the ore, Lord Megatron.
MEGATRON: Excellent. Your shape-changing abilities are a benefit to the Decepticon Empire... even if you must reach beyond your comfort zone.
SPY: Yes, Amalgamous be praised.
MEGATRON: You have done well... Spiral, Or, should I say... Makeshift!
