DinobotTo think, that a warrior must become a... a rat patrol.
[Two Cybertronian spaceships warp into space and engage in aerial combat]
Hull breach in sector 7, guiding systems failing!
Oh man, this is ridiculous! We're an exploration ship, not a battle cruiser!
No choice. Our ship was the only one that could lock onto Megatron's warp signature.
Shields are doing a major fade!
Plasma cannons to full power.
[The Predacon ship Darksyde fires on all weapons on the Maximal ship Axalon as Dinobot torments about them]
DinobotTheir shields are down. Destroy them!
Now, where's the fun in that? A little torment I think first. Yesss. Side Guns!
[Darksyde shoots up the side guns at Axalon, Maximals' screams]
Rapture. The stasis hold is failing.
We're going down.
Launch all pods, get them in the safe orbit. [Axalon releases all the stasis pods out of the Maximals' ship into the galaxy] ALL PLASMA CANNONS, FIRE!
[Axalon shoots at the Darksyde with the plasma cannons, Megatron screams two times and both ships split and crash land into different locations of the planet]
DinobotNo, no, NO! It's all wrong, this cannot be earth. Megatron, you failed. Not only did you fail to destroy the Maximals when you had the chance, you failed to bring us to the right planet! We stole the golden disk for nothing, you IDIOT! [Throws the disk before Megatron comes out]
[Coming out] Heh.. I beg your pardon?! What did you call me?!
DinobotYou heard. You are an idiot and incompetent leader, and I am taking over. Dinobot, terrorize! [transforms into robot mode] I challenge you to battle, Megatron. The winner shall lead the Predacons, and the loser shall be destroyed.
Ah, you're so impulsive, Dinobot. Brave, but misguided.
DinobotDo you accept my challenge?
[Softly laughs] There's more to being a leader than simple courage. Well, there's cleverness and cunning as well. Isn't that right, Scorponok? (Scorponok shoots out Dinobot) Loser. What does it matter which planet we're on? We came looking for energon, and this planet is rich with the element. Enough energon to power the Predacons' entire galactic conquest! Only the Maximals could give us trouble now, if they survived the crash. Find them! And if you find them, destroy them. [All Predacons fly out to find the Maximals]
DinobotAttention, Maximals. My name is Dinobot. I have left the Predacons to join your group... as leader.
What? Did I hear the word leader?
This guy's got bearings of chrome steel.
DinobotAnd does it matter if we blow some energon? Maybe it will take a few Predacons with it. That is what we want, is it not?
This mission, Dinobot, is to gain tactical advantage by taking out their base. Defeating them does not mean we have to annihilate them. You seem to have trouble understanding that.
DinobotWhat I understand is this; If situations were reversed, Megatron would spare the base and annihilate us!
[Rattrap and Rhinox exchange concerned glances]
[Sighs frustratedly] This eagerness of yours to scrap Megatron is clouding your judgement.
DinobotWe are at war, Optimus! War! I think it is your judgement that is clouded.
[The Maximals hold a secret ballot to decide who should be the new leader]
One vote for Rattrap. [Rattrap smirks] One vote for Dinobot. [Dinobot looks impressed] One more vote for Rattrap, and..... another vote for Dinobot. It's a tie.
Heeeey! What?!?! Which one of you... you traitors voted for the Predacon?!?!
It's a secret ballot. No one has to say who they voted for.
Dinobot[Laughs heartily] Great system, your "democracy". No mechanism to break a tie.
Some power play, leatherlips! Y'know, I'm startin' to wonder if that alien probe had anything to do with Optimus's disappearin'.
Dinobot[Tosses the command table aside] I've heard enough from this scrawny thief! I will break the tie and be your leader, by force if necessary!
Rattrap, you commanded well in my absence.
Err..... Command's a pain in the tail, especially with this pack of hyenas, you can keep it.
I'm more concerned with this probe right now.
[The alien probe suddenly disappears before the Maximals]
What the spotted heck was that all about?!
I don't know. I suppose they found out everything they needed to know about us.
Yeah. They know we've got destructive capability. And reasoning power.
DinobotBut why would they want to know? And more importantly, who are they? Friends, enemies, or... something more?
Good question. I wonder when we'll find out the answer.
[Dinobot is setting up a laser pulse transmitter atop the Axalon in order to reach a stasis pod]
Ah... Dinobot. You're back again? Yes...
DinobotDinobot - MAXIMIZE! [transforms]
Oh no, no, no. Calmness, calmness, please. I came only to talk, yeeesss. After all, you are alone and in command of the Maximal base. An excellent opportunity, is it not? You were a Predacon once. Become one again! Turn the base over to me and the Beast Wars will be over. We Predacons will rule the galaxy, and you shall be my second-in-command. What do you say, Slag?
Dinobot[Chuckles evilly] EAT SLAG!!!
[Dinobot blasts Megatron with his optic lasers]
DinobotWill you still defend your friend, or will you see him for what he is a traitor?!
You're a fine one to talk.
Rattrap... gone? No way. I don't believe it.
He was a difficult Maximal to deal with. At times, impossible. But I'll remember him with honor.
DinobotI won't disgrace his memory with lies! He was a stinking, omnivorous pestilence! Still, in some perverse way... I will miss him.
Sure, he smelled bad he was a rat but he was my best friend...
[Optimus Primal and Dinobot are out an exploring expedition]
Ah, here's a new specimen. Dinobot, come on! You're supposed to be assisting!
Dinobot[Sarcastically] Of course! Pardon my lack of enthusiasm for a bunch of worthless weeds. You realize that we are targets out here. TARGETS! And still, you stop to smell the roses. Oh, whatever!
You were supposed to be his backup!
DinobotWe were ambushed. And don't tell me my duties, furball, or you shall soon be occupying several recycling bins!
[Growls] Wanna try it now, lizard-lips?!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, here! As much as I'd love to see the both of you scrap yourselves, save it for my birthday.
[An infected Optimus Primal has violently emerged from the CR chamber]
Nobody...takes it off... Understand? You hear me?! I'LL BLOW YOUR SLAGGING HEADS OFF!
No, Big Bot!
[Rhinox restrains Optimus]
Hold on there!
[Struggles] GET OFF OF ME!
DinobotYes... Listen to him.
I don't fear you... I DON'T FEAR ANY OF YOU!!!!!!
I thought that thing was supposed to turn him into a coward.
DinobotNo doubt, that WAS its intention. But Scorponok is notoriously incompetent. I would say instead that we have...a berserker. Interesting...
DinobotYou... [coughs]... should have left me behind.
Hey pal! Optimus got left behind just to save your scaly skin! So don't spoil the sacrifice, capiche?
Oh, but it is already spoiled! Yeeees.
Would you lie down?! And groan, for cryin' out loud! You're supposed to be half-dead!
Dinobot[growls and snaps at him] If you don't shut up, rodent, you shall be my role model!
Oh yeah? You and who's- [Tigatron growls at him and gasps] Alright, fine... I'm shutting up. If it ain't the dinosaur's up your nose, it's a feline.
