ACT THREE

MEGATRON

It is over! Optimus Prime has been defeated! All Autobots must exile themselves to deeper space!

SPIKE WITWICKY

Oh... I can't believe it.

CHIP CHASE

Optimus Prime... beaten by Megatron.

OPTIMUS PRIME

Ohhhh...

SPIKE WITWICKY

He's functional... but barely.

OPTIMUS PRIME

Uhh... my fault. Underestimated Megatron. Never suspected he had so many powers. I was not prepared...

IRONHIDE

Well, I'm prepared -- to knock those Decepti-bums all the way back to Cybertron!

OPTIMUS PRIME

No! Megatron has beaten me according to Cybertron law. To violate that law would destroy our honour. We will comply and leave this Earth forever.

IRONHIDE

As you command, Optimus.

RATCHET

We'll need Teletraan 1 to diagnose all this damage.

WHEELJACK

Optimus, can ya transform?

OPTIMUS PRIME

I'll try.

HUFFER

Maybe I can help Optimus save some of his strength on the way back.

Let me take that load, Optimus.

OPTIMUS PRIME

You're a true friend, Huffer.

Autobots, roll out! (Beat) Perhaps for the last time.

MEGATRON

We will accompany them back to their headquarters to make certain noble Optimus Prime keeps his word.

Autobot to Decepticon

SCAVENGER

Now, the Autobot computer, Teletraan 1, is just beyond this cavern ceiling.

SCRAPPER

We'll have to blast through! Mixmaster, we need acid!

MIXMASTER

Okay. Er, let's mix up some, uh, H2SO4 with, er... with, er, HCl, with, er... I know! I'll combine some of each of the stronger acids!

GRIMLOCK

Uhh... Teletraan 1 calls. Dinobots respond.

SCRAPPER

There's Teletraan 1! For Megatron, destroy it!

GRIMLOCK

No destroy Teletraan 1! Dinobots destroy you!

SLUDGE

Sludge not see these Decepticons before.

SNARL

Not see again, either, because we dynamite them to pieces!

SLAG

Dinobots no fool around!

GRIMLOCK

Right! Dinobots, transform!

HOOK

It's bad news, Scrapper. They've brought out the heavy artillery.

SCRAPPER

Then it's time we did the same! Only heavier! Constructicons, transform! Phase one!

Now, transform! Phase two!

DEVASTATOR

Prepare to meet your doom! Nothing can withstand the might of Devastator!

SPIKE WITWICKY

Hey... check that out! What is it?

IRONHIDE

Our Dino-buddies! We gotta help!

OPTIMUS PRIME

No, Ironhide! Remember the law!

Autobot to Autobot

IRONHIDE

Uhh... sorry about that.

RATCHET

There. Optimus is as good as the day he rolled off the mechanical line. Better, even.

WHEELJACK

But I still don't understand where Megatron got enough strength to whip him.

CHIP CHASE

I do. I just had Teletraan 1 do an energy scan on Optimus' damaged parts, and -- see for yourselves!

WHEELJACK

Of course! Somehow Megatron used the powers of all the other Decepticons!

IRONHIDE

Then... then Megatron cheated and we can ignore the agreement with him! Right, Optimus?

OPTIMUS PRIME

That... is affirmative. Autobots, the time has come to fight back!

DEVASTATOR

Nothing defeats the Devastator! Nothing!

GIANT AUTOBOT HOLOGRAM

Nothing, little one! Hahahah! What would you say about me? Hahahahahah!

OPTIMUS PRIME

Now, before he realizes what is happening.

MEGATRON

The giant Autobot was a holographic illusion! It wasn't real!

OPTIMUS PRIME

No! But we are!

IRONHIDE

Nail 'em, guys! Turn 'em to scrap!

OPTIMUS PRIME

No, Megatron! You will not have to fight all Autobot powers at once. Just me!

It is ended.

SPIKE WITWICKY

Is it really over, Optimus? I mean, have we seen the end of this war forever?

OPTIMUS PRIME

Who can say, Spike? In this vast universe, is anything truly forever?

MEGATRON

Uhhh... we shall rise... again!
