ACT TWO

MEGATRON

I now have the strength of all my Decepticons.

STARSCREAM

The Autobots' computer, Teletraan 1... if it detects your deception, it will alert Optimus Prime.

MEGATRON

It won't! Scrapper, you and the others have your orders. Constructicons, transform!

While all the Autobots are assembled to watch my combat with Optimus Prime, my Constructicons will tunnel their way beneath those headquarters, then enter the control room and destroy Teletraan 1! (Laughs) Optimus Prime won't know what hit him! (Laughs)

Decepticon to Autobot

SPIKE WITWICKY

I'm still not crazy about this combat deal, Optimus. We all know how tricky Megatron can be. I mean, they don't call those creeps Decepticons for nothing.

OPTIMUS PRIME

The code specifies a fair battle, Spike. Under those rules I'm confident I can beat Megatron. Besides, if he does not abide by the rules, Teletraan 1 will tell us. The time for the battle approaches. Autobots, transform!

Roll out!

Autobots, transform!

IRONHIDE

Okay, we're here! Where's the opposition?

CHIP CHASE

That answer your question, Ironhide?

MEGATRON

Hail Optimus Prime, and welcome to defeat!

OPTIMUS PRIME

Defeat, Megatron? But our battle has not yet begun.

MEGATRON

As soon as our respective armies take their places, we shall correct that oversight.

OPTIMUS PRIME

Remember the law, Megatron. This battle is between you and me, alone and unaided.

CHIP CHASE

Doesn't this remind you of the gladitorial combats in ancient Rome?

IRONHIDE

Maybe it would if I knew what you were talkin' about.

SPIKE WITWICKY

It's Earth history, Ironhide. Skip it.

OPTIMUS PRIME

One-to-one combat, Megatron.

MEGATRON

With the vanquished and his army exiled to deep space forever.

OPTIMUS PRIME

Uhh... never knew he was... that strong!

STARSCREAM

My power chip gives him the use of my cluster bombs.

SPARKPLUG WITWICKY

Go, Optimus!

SPIKE WITWICKY

All right, Optimus! Zap him good!

STARSCREAM

And the use of my null ray, too.

SKYWARP

You should see me do that when I've got my power chip.

SPIKE WITWICKY

Optimus, behind you!

Decepticon to Decepticon

SCRAPPER

Careful, Scrounge [SIC]! This volcano isn't inactive!

SCAVENGER

Scrapper, I-I'm picking up computer signals from above! Ohh, we're directly under Teletraan 1!

Decepticon to Autobot

CHIP CHASE

Optimus Prime!

SPIKE WITWICKY

Get up, Optimus!

SPARKPLUG WITWICKY

You can beat him, Optimus!

IRONHIDE

Way to go, Prime! You're not down yet!

MEGATRON

(Laughs) You cannot blast what you cannot see!

Heheh, nor what you cannot hear! (Laughs)

STARSCREAM

Reflector and Thundercracker must be proud, or rather their power chip rectifiers must be.

MEGATRON

You were good, Optimus Prime, but not good enough to fight Megatron!

And so the battle ends!
