FOREMAN
So far we're right on schedule. Pretty soon these energy disks will start
tapping power from the Earth's magnetic field and we'll have all the heat
and electricity we need.
Hey, I didn't send for more equipment! Did ya hear me?? I said --
I... there's nobody driving!
SCRAPPER
Right! No one drives us, stupid human! We are the Constructicons! We drive
ourselves!
FOREMAN
They're stealing the energy disks! Stop 'em!
They've got the power converter, too! Help!! Police!
SCRAPPER
We have what we came for! Constructicons, transform!
Foolish man of flesh! If you interfere with us, you will be terminated!
FOREMAN
Ooohh!
SCRAPPER
We return to our master Megatron!
FOREMAN
Er... they're with the Decepticons!
MEGATRON
My Constructicons have returned to our temporary base right on schedule.
They were worth the time we spent building them in these caverns. Scrapper,
report!
SCRAPPER
All present are accounted for, noble leader! Scavenger, Mixmaster, Long
Haul, Bonecrusher, Hook, and myself.
MEGATRON
You have the energy disk components?
Excellent, Scrapper. Unload and attach them to your new invention at once.
SCRAPPER
I am honoured to serve, Megatron.
MEGATRON
Soon, Starscream, soon, Scrapper's invention will give me the power to
defeat the Autobots once and for all.
STARSCREAM
Forgive me, but I believe your boast sounds vaguely familiar.
MEGATRON
We've failed before through no fault of mine! But this time I shall not be
denied. This device will enable me to strike at the Autobots through
Optimus Prime's only weakness: his over-developed sense of honour. (Laughs)
IRONHIDE
Huh? Those signals spell trouble, and I'm talkin' Decepticons!
SPARKPLUG WITWICKY
Can you make out how many, Spike?
SPIKE WITWICKY
Looks like just one, Dad. One's one too many when it's Megatron!
WHEELJACK
Let's see how he likes my new shock-blast cannon!
Uhh! Hhh... that's a shock, all right.
IRONHIDE
Too much lip, Wheeljack, not enough action!
OPTIMUS PRIME
Since when have you decided to make yourself a target without fighting
back, Megatron?
MEGATRON
I have come to talk, not fight, Optimus Prime.
OPTIMUS PRIME
Autobots, hold your fire!
Very well. Speak, Megatron.
MEGATRON
I come about a matter of Cybertron law, Optimus Prime. Our war has gone on
for millions of years -- Decepticons fighting Autobots -- in which opposing
leaders -- you and I, Optimus Prime -- may do battle. The loser must exile
himself and his army to deep space for eternity. The winner may stay where
he chooses. Do you have the courage for that?
CLIFFJUMPER
I don't trust him, Optimus.
WHEELJACK
But it would end the war.
IRONHIDE
And you can take him, Optimus! You're the best!
OPTIMUS PRIME
Also, it is the law of our native planet. Very well. I accept the challenge.
MEGATRON
Somehow I felt you would, Optimus Prime. You have such a strong sense of
honour.
MEGATRON
Your invention is completed, Scrapper, and we are ready. So proceed with
the strength transfer.
SCRAPPER
As you order, master Megatron.
Now, Decepticons, each of you must contribute a power chip rectifier to the
exchange furnace.
STARSCREAM
But I need my power chip rectifier. Besides, the Cybertron code of combat
requires each warrior to fight as he is, without additional reinforcement.
You wouldn't want to cheat, would you, Megatron?
MEGATRON
I will win by any means! At any cost! Even if it means terminating
you, Starscream!
STARSCREAM
I was only raising a legal point.
MEGATRON
I am not concerned with technicalities! Only victory interests me!
SCRAPPER
The critical temperature has been achieved, Megatron.
MEGATRON
Then let the strength transfer begin!
Yes! More! More! Give me all your power! Allll!!
The strength transfer is a success! I now possess all your powers in
addition to my own. Optimus Prime and the Autobots are finished! (Laughs)
