X-Brawn: They're on me like an Insecticon on a power core. I gotta get outta here.
Ro-Tor: He's getting away!
Scourge: No, he's not.
X-Brawn: Great, treadhead's in my way. Just a little farther... Thanks! See ya, pard! Phew... Talk about your close shades. Boy, darn good thing those Decepticons can't follow me into the space bridge.
Ro-Tor: He just disappeared. I can't locate him.
Mega-Octane: Those warp tunnels they use make it impossible to catch him.
Armorhide: Another second and I'd be picking him out of my treads.
Rollbar: Well as long as they have that technology, they'll always defeat us!
Armorhide: There's gotta be some way we can go in there and blast that space bridge apart. Then they can't use it against us anymore.
Mega-Octane: We'd be better off if we could figure out how the tunnels work. Then we can use them for our own purposes.
Ro-Tor: Must be nice to just duck into a tunnel to get away, and come out who knows where!
Armorhide: I still say we should blow it up!
Mega-Octane: Hold on. Maybe we can disable it.
Scourge: Perhaps we could...
Wedge: All right, Heavy Load. We've got room for a few more shovelsful.
Hightower: Hey, Wedge, listen up. What do you want me to do with this large beam? Do you think we need it?
Wedge: Yeah, we do. But don't get ahead of yourself, Hightower. We're still digging.
Grimlock: Heavy Load, I need you over here.
Heavy Load: Keep your shovel on.
T-AI: Optimus, the Build Team is calling and needs to talk to you.
Optimus: Put them on screen.
Wedge: Hey Optimus, it's all done. It took awhile, but we finally finished building the arctic link to the global space bridge.
Optimus: Good job, Build Team. You completed that section in record time.
Heavy Load: Thanks a lot, Optimus. Of course, we give a lot of the credit to Wedge. As a foreman, he's aces.
Optimus: That's good to hear. What's your project status?
Wedge: You don't have to worry. We're way ahead of schedule.
Heavy Load: Wedge, how about the blue bridge to the south group?
Wedge: All work and no play makes Heavy Load a dull machine. I say we should go check out the battlezone and get some practice in. Come on, Hightower.
Hightower: Right behind you. Grimlock: Hold on, young Wedge. What about installing the new arctic link data into the computer network?
Wedge: I'm bored by that geeky stuff. You handle it, okay Grimster?
Grimlock: No sweat. I'll take care of it.
Wedge: Come on, Heavy Load. It's time for a little battle practice. Let's do it!
Heavy Load: Oh, great.
Grimlock: This won't take long. Then I can meet up with the guys at the battlezone.
Ro-Tor: This is Ro-Tor. I've spotted Grimlock and I'm on his tail.
Scourge: See if he leads into the terminal.
Ro-Tor: Yes, sir.
Grimlock: Grimlock, transform! Oh yeah!
Grimlock: Now let's see... The co-ordinates for the new arctic link should be housed in terminal 10. Reprogramming coaxial, engage. Data recorded and synchronized. Installation complete.
Scourge: It's in there.
Mega-Octane: What is this place?
Scourge: Just what we've been looking for.
Armorhide: I'll tell you what we should do. We should go in there and blast that place into tiny little pieces.
Rollbar: I've got a great idea. Why don't we just hack into their system? We can find out where their tunnels lead.
Armorhide: Hacking, schmacking. I say we go in there and blow the whole place to oblivion. Then we don't have to care where the tunnels lead. Am I right?
Rollbar: Half-track mind. Well, that's one way to get in! I, myself, would have used the door.
Armorhide: Now Scourge has the right idea. See what I mean? We gotta break down some walls, blow up some buildings, destroy these computers...
Scourge: Why don't you clamp your voice boxes?
Armorhide: Uh, yeah... Sorry, sir.
Scourge: This hard drive will disrupt their tracking system, causing location malfunction. Perfect. Let's see how their global space bridge works now. Decepticons, move out.
Commandos: Yessir!
[Commercial]
Movor: Movor, transform! Laser blast!
T-AI: Sir, the Decepticons are attacking sector B538. They're destroying the buildings near the train station.
Optimus: T-AI, which of our teams is closest to that location?
T-AI: On it, Optimus Prime. The Nearest is Team Bullet Train. They're prepped and ready to go. Dispatching now. Team Bullet Train, report to sector B538 immediately.
Rapid Run: Roger that!
Railspike: 10-4!
Midnight: On our way.
Scourge: Have a nice trip, boys.
Rapid Run: This doesn't seem right. Are you sure we're going the right way?
Railspike: Now!
Rapid Run: Look out! Look out! Whoa, get over! Get over!
Railspike: This is not good!
Midnight: Someone should tell these people they're going the wrong way!
Railspike: Railspike, transform!
Rapid Run: Rapid Run, transform!
Midnight: Midnight Express, transform!
Rapid Run: Hey, what's going on here? This is not the right sector. Oh, good. I'm glad you're here.
Wedge: Hey Rapid Run. What's up?
Rapid Run: What's up? We were. We just fell a hundred feet onto a crying freeway.
Railspike: I'm getting too old for this stuff.
Midnight: It was terribly unsettling.
Optimus: We were just discussing the malfunctions in the global space bridge.
Wedge: Everything in that tunnel was constructed according to plan. It should work perfectly. I don't understand.
Heavy Load: It doesn't make sense.
Rapid Run: What doesn't make sense is that my team and I were almost made into scrap metal thanks to your perfectly constructed tunnel! There's no excuse for shoddy workmanship.
Wedge: Yeah? Maybe it's your fault. Maybe you don't know where you're going.
Rapid Run: Listen, you little...
Wedge: Why you big pile of junk!
Railspike and Heavy Load: Knock it off!
Railspike: Rapid Run, put a plug in it. This is doing no good.
Heavy Load: You two are supposed to be on the same team.
Wedge: I'm going to teach this big mouth a lesson.
Optimus: Wedge is right. Something's wrong. It needs to be found and corrected.
Hightower: Yessir, right away.
Mega-Octane: So we messed up their tunnel. Now what?
Scourge: Now we start some trouble. When the Autobots use their tunnel again, we've got them.
Mega-Octane: Yessir!
Rollbar: Rollbar, transform! Fire blaster!
Armorhide: Plasma morter! Transform!
Ro-Tor: Ro-Tor, transform! Ha, ha!
Movor: Ha, ha!
Rollbar: Ha, haha!
T-AI: Optimus! The Decepticons are attacking the city!
Optimus: T-AI, send the brothers and Team Bullet Train.
T-AI: Roger. Autobot Brothers and Team Bullet Train, code red! Decepticons are attacking the urban centre.
Sideburn: This is Sideburn, message received. I'm taking the global space bridge to preset co-ordinates. Leaving now.
X-Brawn: This is X-Brawn. I copy that.
Prowl: 10-4, base. I read you loud and clear. I'm on my way.
T-AI: Team Bullet Train, take off for location right now!
Rapid Run: All right, team. No slip-ups this time. Smooth take off.
Midnight: I've got a bad feeling about this one!
Hightower: Everything seems online and operational.
Heavy Load: It all looks good.
Wedge: There's nothing wrong with the global space bridge. It had to be something those guys did.
[Transition]
Mega-Octane: With the Autobots in transit, I'll give their computer a little tune-up. One they'll never forget. Ha, ha, ha!
[Commercial]
Sideburn: Surprise! Huh? Hey... What's up with all this water? This is not funny. There's something seriously wrong with that thing!
X-Brawn: Decepticons, you're in for it now. Whoa. Whoowee! That could have been the first step of the rest of my life. Something's really wrong with that bridge of ours.
Prowl: Freeze, Decepti-creeps! Man, that's cold.
Construction Worker: Uhhh... Pardon me, officer, but we're trying to pour some fresh concrete right now.
Prowl: Sorry... But get me outta here!
Koji: Hey, batter, batter!
Koji's friend: Pitcher's got a rubber arm!
Koji: Knock it out of the park! Come on, do it! Come on! Oh, man!
Rapid Run: Whoa... Oh no. Rapid Run, transform! Got it!
Koji: Oh no! He caught it and that was the last out of the inning. And what is Rapid Run doing on the field, anyway?
Rapid Run: What the?
Kelly: No blue sportscars chasing me here in the mall! That's ridiculous! A train?! Why do these things always happen to me? Ahhh!
Railspike: My brakes can't grab!
Kelly: That... couldn't be the new subway line, could it?
Railspike: I can't stop.
Midnight: Oooohhh! Somebody make it stop! It's like a maze that goes in circles. A sort of never-ending loop. This isn't funny. I'm getting motion sickness. My gyro's spinning.
[Commercial]
Scourge: Scourge, transform!
Megatron: Megatron, terrorize! Scourge, the Autobots are trapped in their own global space bridge. Are you sure they can't show up here?
Scourge: They'll be tied up in that tunnel for a long time. And when they finally get out, they'll be nowhere near us. We can help ourselves to all the energy here and they can't do a thing.
Megatron: This is exactly the opportunity I've waited for.
Scourge: With this energy, we could really put your plans into motion.
Megatron: Heh, heh, heh, heh...
T-AI: All of our operatives have been sent to the wrong destination. Places completely different from what I've programmed.
Optimus: This doesn't make sense. Didn't Build Team run a diagnostic on that tunnel?
T-AI: There's nothing wrong with the construction of the tunnels. Perhaps there's something wrong with the computers. Ugh! It looks like someone's been tampering with the main computer link!
Optimus: Where's the read-out coming from?
T-AI: From the main terminal building.
Heavy Load: Wedge, I just received an urgent communicate from T-AI. There is something wrong with the tunnel.
Wedge: Huh? We've been all over this tunnel with a fine tooth comb and there's absolutely nothing wrong with our work.
Heavy Load: You're right. Construction is absolutely up to code.
Wedge: Wait, the computer!
Heavy Load: Optimus, we're heading to the terminal building to repair the damage.
Optimus: Roger, Heavy Load. Good luck.
Mega-Octane: Halt! Decepticons, don't let them pass.
Commandos: No, sir!
Wedge: Autobots, transform! Nothing's going to stop us from getting inside that terminal.
Mega-Octane: Hmmm?
Optimus: Optimus Prime, transform! Battle mode! Blizzard Blast!
Railspike: Whoa! Not again! My brakes aren't working on this hill!
Sideburn: Hang on to your goggles, kids. This sand is too soft for my tires. Aaaaahhh!
X-Brawn: This is too much... Where am I?! Somebody?! Anybody?!
Wedge: Shoulder thrust! And double laser!
Heavy Load: Tractor slam! How does that grab ya?
Hightower: Fire blaster!
Optimus: Time to go home, Decepticons! All right, move in.
Hightower: Looks like this terminal's been tampered with. Here's the culprit. That should take care of it. The tunnel should function properly now.
Wedge: Those slaggin' Decepticons changed our computer data! I'm sorry. I had no idea.
Optimus: We were all fooled. Now we have to get our team back.
T-AI: Optimus Prime! Red alert! Come in, Optimus Prime!
Optimus: What is it, T-AI?
T-AI: Big trouble. Decepticons are raiding the Northern Energy Research facility.
Optimus: So that was their plan. Our tunnel was a diversion, so they could steal the power from our North facility. Those other attacks were a ruse to get our energy.
Heavy Load: Hey, why don't we take the arctic link tunnel we just built? That way we'll be able to take them by surprise.
Wedge: Yeah, now that it's up and running. Great idea, Heavy Load.
Optimus: Autobots, let's roll out! Destination, the North Energy Research facility.
Sideburn: You wouldn't believe the places they sent me! I can't wait to get my hands on 'em!
X-Brawn: I'm just glad you guys found me. Thought I was gonna be stuck in that desert forever.
Wedge: Listen, everyone. I'm sorry about what's been happening with the tunnel, but it was tampered with and we found out the problem. This time it will take us to the correct destination.
Scourge: All right. Let's go in and take the energy.
Megatron: Huh?
Scourge: What's that?
Megatron: Autobots!
Rapid Run: You were expecting the abominable snowman?
Railspike: You should know by now not to count us out.
Sideburn: Well this time I came out the right location.
X-Brawn: Not a moment too soon.
Megatron: They figured it out!
Optimus: Optimus Prime, transform! Battle protocol!
Wedge: Wedge, transform! Hwah!
Heavy Load: Heavy Load, transform! Mhhhmmhhmm...
Hightower: Hightower, transform!
Grimlock: Grimlock, transform! Oh, yeah!
Rapid Run: Team Bullet Train ready.
X-Brawn: Autobot Brothers ready.
Scourge: They recovered a lot sooner than I thought.
Wedge: That's right, and I don't take kindly to you messing up my work. You're getting a slice of this!
Megatron: Ha! Megatron, beast mode! Pipsqueak...
Optimus: Hold it, Megatron! It's easy when you get the hang of it.
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha! Dragon lasers!
Sideburn: Man, if I knew it was gonna be like this, I'd have brought my skates!
X-Brawn: Here ya go.
Prowl: Whoa!
Megatron: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Scourge: What do you want me to do?
Megatron: I'm all right. Just destroy those meddlesome Autobots.
Rapid Run: We'll take care of this. Bullet Trains, combine into Rail Racer.
Midnight and Railspike: Right!
Wedge: Hold on a minute!
Rapid Run: Why? What's the matter, Wedge?
Wedge: I want you to let us take care of this. The space bridge is our responsibility and when they messed with it, they messed with us.
Heavy Load: Right, it's payback time.
Wedge: Besides, we're better equipped for the ice than they are. Sideburn: What do you say, Optimus?
Optimus: It's a matter of honour for Build Team. They'll handle it.
Sideburn: I hope so.
Sideburn: I hope so.
Wedge: Guys, it's time for us to combine!
Sideburn: Oh man, they're going to transform into Landfill! Whoa!
Rapid Run: Oh yeah! This is gonna be good!
Wedge: Transform!
Sideburn: Cool. They're really putting on quite a show.
Prowl: Look at that traction.
Megatron: Twin dragon breath!
Landfill: Have to do better than that, Megatron, if you want to hit me. Shoulder attack! And a super shoulder attack!
Optimus: I'd say they have the situation under control.
Sideburn: They're a heck of a wrecking machine.
Megatron: I will destroy you. You can't win.
Scourge: Leave Megatron alone!
Landfill: No problem. Here's a little something for you. Don't get up on my account. Single laser!
Megatron: Next time, Autobots! Ha, ha, ha, ha!
[Commercial]
Midnight: You've settled the score on all accounts.
Wedge: I just hope I was able to make it up to you for all your trouble.
Sideburn: Mmmhmmm.
Wedge: But I still feel bad about all you've gone through.
Rapid Run: Well, don't. I was out of line before. It wasn't your fault, it was sabotage. Build Team is the best. You guys should be proud.
Wedge: Thank you. And I'm sorry about losing my temper back there.
Rapid Run: Me too. Let's forget it.
Optimus: The important thing is that we worked together to stop the Decepticons. It just took a little teamwork.
Sideburn: This technology is unbelievable. You know, when it's working properly, there's really nothing better.
Rapid Run: You can say that again. Now let's go home.
