Previously on Transformers Prime:
2
00:00:03,555 --> 00:00:05,723
If you don't survive, Optimus,
3
00:00:05,863 --> 00:00:07,699
I fear neither will this planet!
4
00:00:07,714 --> 00:00:09,183
No-î!
5
00:00:09,325 --> 00:00:10,094
What happened?
6
00:00:10,193 --> 00:00:11,360
Wasn't me.
7
00:00:11,405 --> 00:00:12,040
Me neither.
8
00:00:12,104 --> 00:00:13,440
I happened!
9
00:00:13,584 --> 00:00:15,287
Optimus! Our past alliances
10
00:00:16,129 --> 00:00:17,866
Autobot, Decepticon no longer matter,
11
00:00:19,588 --> 00:00:21,559
not while Unicron lives.
12
00:00:21,897 --> 00:00:24,833
I can lead you directly into Unicron's Spark.
13
00:00:24,911 --> 00:00:27,247
A truce between Autobot and Decepticon...
14
00:00:28,082 --> 00:00:30,649
Optimus! How are we supposed to stop Unicron?
15
00:00:30,729 --> 00:00:32,765
With a Matrix of Leadership.
16
00:00:32,852 --> 00:00:35,620
It appears our Leader
has abandoned us.
17
00:00:35,727 --> 00:00:38,096
I believe we must consider
the possibility of a future
18
00:00:38,746 --> 00:00:41,013
without Megatron.
19
00:00:41,042 --> 00:00:46,010
Jack... I feel you have earned the responsibility
of safeguarding this important device.
20
00:00:46,251 --> 00:00:48,487
Until I return.
21
00:00:48,490 --> 00:00:50,627
So... how long before Unicron
knows we're here?
22
00:00:51,595 --> 00:00:53,164
Make no mistake:
23
00:00:53,217 --> 00:00:55,087
he already does.
24
00:00:58,502 --> 00:00:59,903
Argh!
25
00:01:09,606 --> 00:01:12,442
...Unicron grows ever stronger.
26
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:23,729
How do we know Unicron isn't using
Megatron to lead us all into a trap?
27
00:01:23,807 --> 00:01:26,542
We do not.

Transcribed by Skeinweaver
30
00:02:22,016 --> 00:02:24,886
More than sixty volcanoes
are erupting worldwide,
31
00:02:25,113 --> 00:02:28,017
and downtown Honolulu
is under six inches of snow!
32
00:02:29,336 --> 00:02:33,106
Scientists continue to devise there is connectings
between unprecendented natural
33
00:02:33,205 --> 00:02:35,941
disasters with the planetary
alignment which-
34
00:02:37,507 --> 00:02:38,275
So. Who wants to play a game?
35
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:43,368
That is it!
36
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:44,565
Where are you going?
37
00:02:44,573 --> 00:02:47,008
I can't just sit on my hands when
the world spins out of control.
38
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,015
And what exactly is that
that you intend to do?
39
00:02:50,029 --> 00:02:51,298
Anything!
40
00:02:51,336 --> 00:02:52,770
Hook up with my boys at the Finnegan,
41
00:02:52,928 --> 00:02:55,432
figure out a way to bury
that monster for good!
42
00:02:55,510 --> 00:02:57,745
In the event Optimus can't?
43
00:02:57,752 --> 00:03:00,020
Don't you mean — "Optimus and Megatron"?
44
00:03:00,476 --> 00:03:02,944
No one here is thrilled about
this arrangement, agent Fowler,
45
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:04,718
myself included.
46
00:03:04,804 --> 00:03:06,872
But with Optimus and Megatron
together again...
47
00:03:07,261 --> 00:03:09,098
Wow, wait, again?
48
00:03:09,122 --> 00:03:10,856
Megatron was an Autobot?
49
00:03:10,955 --> 00:03:12,523
Optimus was a 'Con?
50
00:03:12,583 --> 00:03:15,452
No, on either count. But, there was a time,
51
00:03:15,548 --> 00:03:18,316
back on Cybertron, in the twilight
hours of the Golden age,
52
00:03:20,083 --> 00:03:24,050
when Optimus and Megatron
were not sworn enemies.
53
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,062
Do you recall when I mentioned
that Optimus wasn't always a Prime?
54
00:03:27,156 --> 00:03:29,591
And he wasn't always Optimus, either.
55
00:03:29,604 --> 00:03:30,504
He was once a clerk,
56
00:03:30,505 --> 00:03:33,305
in the Iacon Hall of Records,
57
00:03:33,381 --> 00:03:35,615
named Orion Pax.
58
00:03:36,512 --> 00:03:38,579
But as he learned more
about Cybertron's past,
59
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:44,229
he grew increasingly concerned
about the present corruption in high places,
60
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:47,920
an inequality among the masses.
61
00:03:48,392 --> 00:03:53,027
Orion became inspired by the words
and ideas of a gladiator
62
00:03:54,096 --> 00:03:58,164
one who had named himself after one
of the thirteen original Primes
63
00:03:58,645 --> 00:04:00,646
Megatronus.
64
00:04:00,804 --> 00:04:03,672
Megatronus vowed to challenge
Cyberton's leadership
65
00:04:03,934 --> 00:04:07,101
and demand that all Cybertronians
be treated as equals.
66
00:04:07,343 --> 00:04:11,145
This gladiator turned revolutionary rapidly
to gather loyal following.
67
00:04:11,911 --> 00:04:13,078
Soundwave chief among them.
68
00:04:16,363 --> 00:04:17,864
Orion began corresponding
with Megatronus
69
00:04:18,817 --> 00:04:21,520
who came to be something
of the mentor to him.
70
00:04:21,745 --> 00:04:24,913
As Megatronus left the gladiatorial arena
for the political,
71
00:04:24,935 --> 00:04:27,003
he saw fit to shorten his name.
72
00:04:28,549 --> 00:04:32,417
Before long, Megatron appeared
before the High Council
73
00:04:32,531 --> 00:04:36,298
to propose his vision for a just society.
74
00:04:36,339 --> 00:04:39,173
And it was here that he began
to reveal his true colours
75
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:43,453
proclaiming the need to overthrow
the old Guard with force
76
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:47,008
and arrogantly demanding to be
named the next Prime.
77
00:04:47,099 --> 00:04:51,165
But Orion did not believe in violence
as a means of achieving justice.
78
00:04:51,630 --> 00:04:55,896
The sparks and minds of the Council
were moved by Orion's words.
79
00:04:56,541 --> 00:04:58,041
Here, for the first time since
Cybertron's Golden age,
80
00:04:59,787 --> 00:05:02,888
stood someone worthy of being a Prime.
81
00:05:02,946 --> 00:05:06,082
But that honour could
only truly be achieved
82
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,361
by earning the legendary
Matrix of leadership.
83
00:05:10,136 --> 00:05:15,104
His ambitions thwarted, Megatron spitefully severed
all ties with Orion and the Council,
84
00:05:15,364 --> 00:05:19,299
and came to wage war
on all who opposed him
85
00:05:19,581 --> 00:05:24,449
through his growing army of followers
which he named "Decepticons".
86
00:05:25,468 --> 00:05:29,135
He vowed to claim the Matrix for himself,
wherever it might lie.
87
00:05:30,866 --> 00:05:34,003
In time, warfare consumed Cybertron,
88
00:05:34,596 --> 00:05:37,296
poisoning the planet to its core.
89
00:05:38,709 --> 00:05:40,078
Orion journeyed there,
90
00:05:40,386 --> 00:05:45,123
hoping to reverse the ill effects and found himself
before the very Spark of our life-giver --
91
00:05:46,955 --> 00:05:49,757
Primus himself.
92
00:05:49,784 --> 00:05:53,386
The ailing Primus sensed the innate
nobility within Orion
93
00:05:53,719 --> 00:05:58,356
and bestowed the Matrix upon him.
94
00:05:58,452 --> 00:06:01,421
It was thus that the surprised
and humbled Orion Pax
95
00:06:03,616 --> 00:06:06,750
came to be Optimus,
96
00:06:07,131 --> 00:06:10,668
the last of the Primes.
97
00:06:10,756 --> 00:06:13,056
So, Optimus got a Matrix from Cybertron's core,
98
00:06:13,699 --> 00:06:16,034
and now he's gonna give it to Earth?
99
00:06:16,095 --> 00:06:19,463
What's to stop Megatron from just claiming
the Matrix for himself this time around?
100
00:06:19,617 --> 00:06:24,052
Only his greater desire to save this planet
so that he may in turn conquer it!
101
00:06:24,711 --> 00:06:26,545
As he so compellingly argued...
102
00:06:26,579 --> 00:06:30,780
Provided the Lord of the Decepticons
can ever be fully trusted.
103
00:06:37,016 --> 00:06:39,317
Unicron's Spark is near.
104
00:06:41,472 --> 00:06:43,641
After you.
105
00:06:52,806 --> 00:06:54,740
...I'm fine, Bee. Just... woozy.
106
00:06:55,344 --> 00:06:56,512
The dark energon.
107
00:06:56,519 --> 00:06:59,722
It's starting to affect him.
Steady, easy go Bulk.
108
00:07:05,013 --> 00:07:07,580
He is preparing to expel us.
109
00:07:25,443 --> 00:07:27,311
What are those things?
110
00:07:27,344 --> 00:07:29,479
As we are within Unicron's body,
111
00:07:29,503 --> 00:07:32,505
it stands to reason they are
some sort of antibody.
112
00:08:35,517 --> 00:08:37,051
Bee! Let me go!
113
00:08:37,089 --> 00:08:39,425
I'll only take you down with me!
114
00:09:11,530 --> 00:09:13,032
Just let go, kid!
115
00:09:14,094 --> 00:09:15,828
Bulkhead!
116
00:09:20,045 --> 00:09:22,013
I got you.
117
00:09:29,396 --> 00:09:31,665
Arcee?
118
00:09:56,925 --> 00:09:58,360
Fellow Decepticons!
119
00:09:58,434 --> 00:10:02,369
While our loyalty to Megatron's command
has always remained steadfast,
120
00:10:03,055 --> 00:10:07,158
our Leader recent behaviour
has been questionable at best.
121
00:10:07,315 --> 00:10:11,851
And it would seem as though Earth has become
nothing short of a failed experiment.
122
00:10:12,106 --> 00:10:13,943
Commander Arachnia!
123
00:10:14,006 --> 00:10:15,573
You're not suggesting that we
124
00:10:15,650 --> 00:10:18,454
abandon Lord Megatron?
125
00:10:18,561 --> 00:10:22,962
Despite Soundwave's efforts we have
been unable to detect our Master's signal.
126
00:10:23,568 --> 00:10:27,170
Megatron is either permanently offlined,
or in the thrall of Unicron.
127
00:10:28,217 --> 00:10:30,951
Neither is in the best interest
of the Decepticons.
128
00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:33,749
So I'm deeming an exit is to be
129
00:10:33,819 --> 00:10:35,852
the most prudent course of action.
130
00:10:35,936 --> 00:10:39,071
Unless anyone has a problem with that.
131
00:10:43,034 --> 00:10:46,203
...Set course for Regulon 4.
132
00:10:50,508 --> 00:10:53,110
You have something to say, Soundwave?
133
00:10:57,396 --> 00:10:59,097
I command this vessel.
134
00:10:59,138 --> 00:11:01,641
You will resume your post.
135
00:11:05,348 --> 00:11:09,217
Step aside!
136
00:11:19,262 --> 00:11:20,996
... (?)
137
00:11:26,530 --> 00:11:28,430
I'll tear out your Spark for that!
138
00:11:41,463 --> 00:11:43,899
I yield.
139
00:11:49,057 --> 00:11:50,792
Watch out for the quiet ones.
140
00:11:55,492 --> 00:11:57,226
Communication links are down
as expected.
141
00:11:58,089 --> 00:12:00,091
But we've lost their signal.
142
00:12:00,371 --> 00:12:01,340
Doesn't that mean?..
143
00:12:01,444 --> 00:12:04,913
Usually. But the more likely explanation would
be the severe interference caused
144
00:12:05,012 --> 00:12:07,347
by these electromagnetic anomalies.
145
00:12:07,522 --> 00:12:10,824
So, if we can't track them and
they can't contact us...
146
00:12:10,889 --> 00:12:13,023
How do we know they are ready for pickup?
147
00:12:16,657 --> 00:12:18,761
Where did you get that?
148
00:12:18,858 --> 00:12:20,060
Optimus...
149
00:12:20,151 --> 00:12:22,552
Honestly, I don't know why did he give me
the ground-bridge power supply.
150
00:12:23,392 --> 00:12:26,031
Jack. There's no key
to the ground-bridge.
151
00:12:27,273 --> 00:12:29,540
What, then... What IS this?
152
00:12:30,853 --> 00:12:33,187
That is the key to Vector Sigma.
153
00:12:34,023 --> 00:12:35,592
The what?!
154
00:12:35,748 --> 00:12:38,981
You are holding one of Cybertron's
most important relics.
155
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,554
I... I shouldn't have this.
156
00:12:41,766 --> 00:12:44,236
Optimus entrusted it to you, Jack.
157
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,223
But that doesn't make
any sense... why?
158
00:12:47,341 --> 00:12:50,342
Because he doesn't plan
on coming back.
159
00:13:10,706 --> 00:13:13,610
Megatron! Do as I command!
160
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:19,964
Destroy the Prime!
161
00:13:22,914 --> 00:13:24,151
Megatron!
162
00:13:30,813 --> 00:13:34,782
Unicron's Spark lies just beyond!
163
00:13:36,686 --> 00:13:38,121
How do we get inside?
164
00:13:38,638 --> 00:13:42,207
By fooling Unicron's defences into
believing we're not a threat.
165
00:13:54,504 --> 00:13:55,873
Autobots!
166
00:13:55,941 --> 00:13:59,576
I would need you to keep our attackers
at bay for as long as you can.
167
00:14:07,956 --> 00:14:09,426
We've got a full fest!
168
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:11,086
For Optimus!
169
00:14:27,950 --> 00:14:29,351
Optimus!.. Swiftly!
170
00:14:41,948 --> 00:14:43,682
Megatron!
171
00:14:48,630 --> 00:14:50,700
Destroy the Prime!
172
00:14:50,907 --> 00:14:52,908
I command you!
173
00:15:18,065 --> 00:15:19,434
Megatron is commanded
174
00:15:19,562 --> 00:15:23,565
by no one!
175
00:15:36,408 --> 00:15:38,775
Earthquake! Take cover!
176
00:15:48,507 --> 00:15:49,941
Matrix of Leadership!
177
00:15:50,031 --> 00:15:53,235
I call upon you!
178
00:15:57,261 --> 00:15:59,529
You cannot defeat me, disciple of Primus!
179
00:16:00,571 --> 00:16:02,807
I have transcended physical being!
180
00:16:03,967 --> 00:16:08,368
By my will alone all upon this
world shall fall into chaos!
181
00:16:10,410 --> 00:16:13,047
Not while I still function, Unicron!
182
00:16:14,139 --> 00:16:17,677
The power of the Matrix will
light our darkest hour!
183
00:16:18,024 --> 00:16:19,458
NOOOH!
184
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,888
AAAARGH!
185
00:17:18,025 --> 00:17:20,061
There could be aftershocks.
186
00:17:22,395 --> 00:17:23,697
...Do you think?
187
00:17:23,768 --> 00:17:25,672
I do.
188
00:17:29,071 --> 00:17:30,672
- Yes!
- Whee!
189
00:17:30,730 --> 00:17:32,799
- Oh yeah!
- Yes!
190
00:17:33,342 --> 00:17:36,645
- Oh!
- Ah. He-he.
191
00:17:54,172 --> 00:17:55,272
Teamwork. Hm!
192
00:18:05,376 --> 00:18:08,345
Where are we, Megatronus?
193
00:18:16,471 --> 00:18:18,772
Don't you remember, old friend?
194
00:18:21,527 --> 00:18:23,795
Optimus! Are you okay?
195
00:18:23,874 --> 00:18:26,777
Why did he call me that?
196
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,507
What did you do to him?
197
00:18:29,923 --> 00:18:32,058
Who are they?
198
00:18:33,544 --> 00:18:36,181
Our mortal enemies!
199
00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:37,680
...We're outnumbered. Go! I'll cover you!
200
00:19:15,995 --> 00:19:17,330
Arcee!
201
00:19:17,544 --> 00:19:19,680
Ah! Oh, I was worried, Bulk!
202
00:19:19,701 --> 00:19:21,537
You alright, Bee?
203
00:19:21,636 --> 00:19:22,971
And Optimus? Is he..?
204
00:19:24,927 --> 00:19:26,962
Dead? No.
205
00:19:27,050 --> 00:19:29,684
But he looked right at us
without recognising us.
206
00:19:29,733 --> 00:19:32,601
Didn't even know his own name!
207
00:19:34,421 --> 00:19:37,357
When Optimus surrendered
the Matrix of Leadership,
208
00:19:37,442 --> 00:19:40,113
he lost more than the
collective wisdom of the Primes.
209
00:19:41,399 --> 00:19:43,101
He lost his own memories.
210
00:19:55,017 --> 00:19:59,454
Welcome back, Lord Megatron.
211
00:20:03,987 --> 00:20:05,556
At ease, Breakdown.
212
00:20:05,918 --> 00:20:09,720
That is no way to welcome
our long lost comrade.
213
00:20:13,073 --> 00:20:16,007
Orion Pax!
Is one of us.
214
00:20:22,463 --> 00:20:23,832
To be continued.
215
00:20:27,028 --> 00:20:30,428
