Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising

1

Optimus Prime:
We have endured bitter

hardship and countless battles...

but at long last,

our home planet has been restored.

We would not be standing on

Cybertronian soil were it not

for the valiant efforts of both

those assembled here...

and our absent comrades ...

Ratchet, who remains on Earth to

safeguard our human friends,

and Cliffjumper, who made

the ultimate sacrifice.

But on this day, at the dawn of

a new era, we gather to bestow

a special honor ...

one earned by Bumblebee.

Through his bravery and devotion

to the cause of peace,

long before, he rid this universe of

the scourge of the Decepticon warmonger.

Unicron:
Megatron.

Megatron!

Megatron!

Megatron:
Unicron?

I do not understand.

Why am I not one with the Alspark?

Do I yet live?

Unicron:
You do not, yet you cannot

join the Alspark because my

lifeblood once flowed

through your veins.

Megatron:
Dark Energon.

Unicron:
It binds you to my Anti-spark.

Megatron:
Optimus Prime used the Matrix

of Leadership to imprison

you within the Earth's core.

So how is it that you speak to me now?

Unicron:
The foolish Prime rendered

only my material form dormant.

But my energy form was roused

from slumber when I sensed

the awakening of an ancient

rival across the cosmos.

Megatron:
Primus. so, it would seem that

Optimus succeeded in restoring

Cybertron after my demise.

Unicron:
I now wish to finish what I

began eons ago, and for that, my

Anti-spark requires a vessel.

Megatron:
So... I will live again?

Unicron:
Only to serve me.

Your husk will simply be

an instrument of my will.

Optimus Prime:
In the company of your fellow

Autobots, in the presence of our

creator, Primus, the living

core of our planet, and by the

authority vested in me by

the Matrix of Leadership,

Bumblebee...

- ...arise a warrior.

-Arcee:
Nice work.

- Bulkhead:
Warrior, big time!

- Smokescreen:
You go, Bee.

Wheeljack:
Let's get this party started!

Smokescreen:
Welcome to the club, Bee.

Warrior today, and who knows?

Prime tomorrow?

Bumblebee:
Slow down, Smokey.

I'm not sure I'd wish a Prime's

- responsibility on anyone.

-Optimus Prime:
I am sorry to interrupt your celebration...

- Arcee:
Here it comes.

- Bulkhead:
Primes never party.

- Optimus Prime:
...but I must take my leave of you.

- Ultra Magnus:
Sir, may I ask why?

Optimus Prime:
Though Cybertron is once

again able to support life,

our planet is currently incapable

of generating new lives ...

Not until I retrieve the

wellspring from which all

life on Cybertron is born

and ultimately returns...

- The Alspark.

- Smokescreen:
You mean it isn't here?

Optimus Prime:
Nor has it been, Smokescreen...

not for thousands

of years. As the war

for Cybertron reached

a tipping point and the

Decepticon army appeared to be

unstoppable, I opted to

safeguard the Alspark from

Megatron by covertly sending it

to a distant sector of the galaxy.

The Matrix of Leadership will enable

me to guide us to its present location.

Bumblebee:
What are we waiting for?

Let's take the warship

- and bring it back.

- Optimus Prime:
These remain dangerous times, Bumblebee.

We cannot leave Cybertron

unsecured ...

not with Starscream and

Shockwave unaccounted for.

Ultra Magnus:
Not to mention our stray Predacon.

Optimus Prime:
Ultra Magnus, you will

supervise patrols to find and

capture the fugitive Decepticons.

-Ultra Magnus:
I would be honored.

- Optimus Prime:
Bulkhead, you will lead the

reconstruction effort.

Begin by building a landing

field to welcome returning refugees.

Wheeljack, I will require your

extensive experience

- navigating deep space.

-Wheeljack:
When do we leave?

Megatron:
Super-luminous

space drive. Impressive.

Unicron:
One of many upgrades that

I've made to your limited

corporeal form ... and wholly

necessary to reach Cybertron.

Megatron:
So... we are to rule together, as one?

You will rule nothing!

I travel to Cybertron

for one reason only ...

- to destroy Primus personally.

- Megatron:
But... to destroy Primus...

- is to destroy Cybertron!

- Unicron:
Thus will begin the new

age ... the age of chaos!

Bulkhead:
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

How are you gonna attach the

cladding when the framing

structure's incomplete, huh?

Arcee:
Labor issues?

- Any news of our fugitives?

- Just signs of recent

scavenging in former

Decepticon installations.

The 'Con warship can't

detect their life signals?

Shockwave must have found a

way to shield or disable them.

I'll feel better when that

gruesome twosome are locked up

with the others.

Okay, you got my attention.

What do you want?

We're prisoners of war.

We have rights!

When are we going to have

access to an oil bath?

Well, when are you gonna tell

me where I can find your pals?

I told you

before, Shockwave had

dozens of secret labs hidden

across Cybertron ... top-secret.

A shame. Your finish is

looking pretty drab.

I don't know where they are, I swear!

But I have an idea where

you might try looking.

Well, someone may want

to think about renaming

the sea of rust. I'm just sayin'.

Though I was hoping more of us

would be rushing back here

to see it ... you know, now

that it's all bright and shiny.

Cybertron will populate in time, kid.

You have to remember ...

refugees could be returning from

light-years away.

Movement.

Two contacts at .84.

Approach with caution.

My name is Ultra Magnus. Are

you Autobot or Decepticon?

Neither.

Predacons!

Phase beats flame every time!

Scrap!

Bumblebee, I need an

emergency ground bridge, stat!

Hang tight, chief. I'm

getting you out of here.

Where's the patient?

He is suffering from

a multitude of internal

injuries, most quite severe.

So, anyone care to explain

what two more Predacons are

- doing on Cybertron?

- I thought Optimus said new

life wasn't possible

without the Allspark.

I'm no authority, but

something tells me cloning old bones

doesn't constitute new life.

Shockwave's been playing

in his lab since the war.

- Why stop now?

- Doesn't matter where those

beasts came from.

We got to take 'em down.

If Shockwave's back in

business, there could be more of

- them ... a lot more.

- We need to call Optimus.

Really, Bulk? And

interrupt his quest to save

the future of our race on Cybertron?

Why send the Allspark to Theta-Scorpio,

one of the most

hazardous star systems in the galaxy?

Precisely to deter Megatron

from searching this region for it.

With all the gamma bursts and

planetoid collisions out here,

how can you be sure it survived?

The Allspark itself is

comprised of pure energy.

In order to contain it and

launch it off-world, Alpha Trion

forged a vessel capable of

extracting it from the ether.

it is this indestructible

reliquary we seek.

Well, I'll try not to scratch

the paint on this tub,

- but no promises.

- We cannot risk being stranded

if our ship is damaged.

It is best that you remain here,

- Wheeljack.

- You're the boss.

Watch your step.
