[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]
Their 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.
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]
No, 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?!
You 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.
Do 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]
Man, all this for a golden disk!
It was Cybertron's most carefully guarded relic, Rattrap. It gave the location of a major energon source. That's why Megatron stole it.
Yeah, like I care. Y'know, we were supposed to be doing deep space exploration. Playin' Galactic Patrol isn't nowhere in my job description, you know what I'm saying? You sure you're cut out for this commander gig?
Remember the Great War, Rattrap. If the Predacons get enough energon, they'll start it again. We can't let that happen. Besides, you wanted exploration, and here we are on an unknown planet. What more do you want?
Well, call me picky, but a working spacecraft might be nice.
[Sighs] Just no pleasing some people.
We don't have to do this, Megatron! There has been peace between the Maximals and Predacons for centuries! Why start this up again?
Peace perhaps on your side, Maximal scum, yes - but not on ours. Permit me to inform you that an enemy which appears to be peaceful may, in fact, be merely biding its time!
[Repairing his gun] Finally...
We Predacons have never abandoned our rightful goal of galactic conquest! No... we have merely been waiting for the right moment... to STRIKE!
You mean like THIS!? [Fires at Megatron]
Ahh, a treacherous, under-handed sneak attack. Oh-ho-ho, I like you, pussycat, yes... But it shall avail you not, no! For now the power gauntlet has been cast! Predacons, TERRORIZE!
Optimus Primal: MAXIMIZE!
