TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED - Remake Season 1
Episode 5: Transform and Roll Out Part 5 - The Last Prime
The Nemesis guns and Starscream's clones open fire on Skyfire and he flies towards the Nemesis. Skyfire display incredible maneuverability as he easily avoids the blast from every angel even shooting down three of the clones.
"Tch! Skyfire was know to be one of the greatest fliers ever and my clones have just been awaken.", Starscream said in annoyance watching the monitor.
"Strange. I expect him to drop the Autobots onto our ship by now, but so far he hasn't.", Geist said until the ship suddenly shakes.
"Hull has been breached!", Barricade said. "We've been boarded!"
"He dropped them off on the moon before attacking us!", Starscream said in realization. "Decepticons guard the critical parts of the ship, Soundwave stay here and maintain contact."
The Decepticons hurry out of the bridge while Soundwave takes the controls. On the monitor the Autobots split up.
"The Autobots are splitting up!", Soundwave reports.
"Where are they heading?", Starscream demands.
Suddenly the door opens up and coming in are Ratchet and Wheeljack.
"Shut it down, Soundwave.", Ratchet demands causing Soundwave to turn. "We'll not let you Decepticons harm Cybertron."
"You are wrong Autobot.", Soundwave said. "The planet will remain intact. It is you Autobots that will be harmed and this planet will serve as a nice add-on for the cause."
"Over our sparkless husk!", Wheeljack said as he and Ratchet charge at Soundwave. The speakers in Soundwave's shoulders open up and coming out of it are cannon barrels. Soundwave fires.
In the hallway Bumblebee and Bulkhead bumps into Barricade.
"You're brave Autobots.", Barricade said as both his hands become maces. "That or just stupid!"
Elsewhere both Prowl and Arcee enters a room. Prowl widen his optics at what he sees inside the room.
"These are...", Prowl quickly ducks as a bladed shield flies over him.
"Protoforms?", Geist finishes. "That's right, you're a Cyber Ninja so you know all about them."
Scalpel removes some equipment off of him as Astrotrain enters his lab.
"What is going on out there?", Scalpel shouts in annoyance.
"We're under attack by Autobots!", Astrotrain answers picking the doctor up.
"Then why are you not going out to fight?!"
"Soundwave gave me special orders.", Astrotrain said. "You have a special patient to work on."
"Who?", Scalpel asks as Astrotrain whispers causing Scalpel's optics to widen. "Yes, I see. Help me gather my tools and we'll depart at once."
Solus Prime place some blue energon shards on Megatron's sword and forge it together with her hammer. She then works on what appears to be a winged jet pack.
Outside of the Nemesis Skyfire fire several missiles destroying some of the ship's gun. He then transform into robot mode and fires his double-barrel blaster on the Seekers.
Starscream watches his clones being easy target to the much more experienced Skyfire.
"I waited for millions of stellar-cycles for this moment and I won't have some washed-out Autobots and that traitor ruin it!", Starscream shouts in annoyance as he transform into jet mode and flies towards Skyfire. Starscream then change back to robot mode. "Hello, old friend."
"Starscream?", Skyfire asks in shock.
"I see you can still recognize me despite my new look.", Starscream said.
"Starscream, give up on your foolish ambition.", Skyfire demands. "If you surrender I'm sure the Autobots will give you a less harsher sentence."
"Give up? Me?", Starscream asks in a mocking surprised tone. "Why would I do that? I'm already this close in gaining it all."
"Then you are a fool. Nothing good can come from this.", Skyfire said. "Listen Starscream, I'm asking you this one last time. Give it all up!"
Starscream's silence gave Skyfire the answer.
"So that's your answer. You won't stop. Then you leave me no choice to destroy you.", Skyfire said as he transform into jet mode. "You just had a chance to do something truly great. To really do some good!"
Starscream changes into his jet mode and begins his dog fight with Skyfire.
Barricade charge at the two bots. Bulkhead moves aside and Bumblebee jumps onto Barricade jamming his stinger to the next. Barricade screams in pain from the electrocution, but grabs hold of Bumblebee's arm and slams him to the ground. Bulkhead grabs onto Barricade with a strong bear hug. Unable to break free Barricade bash the back of his head to Bulkhead's face forcing Bulkhead to let to.
"You're big, but I have ways to make use of your size.", Barricade said as he kicks the back of Bulkhead's leg causing Bulkhead to fall on the ground hard. Bumblebee fires his stinger on Barricade, but this time Barricade was prepared as he avoids each shot. Barricade's right had change into a blaster and fires on Bumbleebee blasting him to a considerable distance. Barricade chuckles at the sight, before crashing to the ceiling after Bulkhead fires his wrecking ball on the back.
Geist swings his sword at Prowl and Arcee, which the two easily jumps away form.
"Tch! I can't use all my firearms without the risk on damaging the protoforms.", Geist grunts in annoyance as Arcee charges in connecting her swords together forming a double-bladed sword. While Geist is much stronger, his strength is useless against Arcee's flexibility and speed. Seeing the trying to hit her is pointless he allows Arcee to strike. Geist blocks the blade with his arm, grabs her arm and knees her to the stomach before elbowing her back to the floor. Geist raise his blade to do the finishing blow, but Prowl throws his shuriken toward Geist's hand knocking the sword out of his grip. Arcee gets back up and kicks Geist to the ground.
Geist gets back up with a back flip, picks up this sword which splits in two and charge. Acree passes her sword to Prowl as his shurikens aren't meant for close combat.
Wheeljack jumps onto Soundwave, but Soundwave easily throws him off. Ratchet punches Soundwave to the head making a crack on the optics and Soundwave returns the favor with a punch of his own knocking Ratchet to the wall.
Wheeljack moves in to attack Soundwave to the back when suddenly two mini-bots grab onto his arm restraining him. "What the...?"
"Well done Rumble and Frenzy.", Soundwave said as he punches Wheeljack. Wheeljack blocks the last two blows with his arms and the two mini-bots knocking them out. Soundwave realize what he has done and got mad. "Eject!"
Soundwave's chest opens up and out comes Ravage, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw. Wheeljack throws Rumble and Frenzy to Laserbeak and Buzzsaw, while kicking Ravage to Soundwave's head.
"Looks like spending time in the safe zone made you rusty.", Wheeljack chuckles which slowly dies down as Soundwave gets back up. While he doesn't show it, he is clearly mad. "Can't we talk about this?"
Two large metal tentacle claws comes out of Soundwave's sides.
"I'll take that as a no!"
"Ah the heck with it!", Geist shouts in frustration drawing out his shotgun as the sword fight with the two Autobots remain a stalemate. Before he could fire Barricade was thrown through the wall and crashes onto Geist. This cause Geist to shoot the wall behind him blowing a hole. The Autobots quickly grabs onto something to prevent themselves from being vacuumed out, but the two Decepticons are not so lucky as they get sucked out.
"Phew... Well that takes care of that.", Bumblebee said.
Soundwave grabs onto Wheeljack's head attempting to crush it.
"Soundwave: Superior! Autobots: Inferior!", Soundwave boasts as Wheeljack struggles to break out of the Decepticon's grip. "Prepare to be crushed."
"I'm here to give you a second opinion.", Ratchet said as he use his magnets to throw all of Soundwave's cassettes bot straight towards their owner. The impact knocks him and his cassettes straight through the window and into the deepness of space.
"Quick Wheeljack we must use the ship's weapons against them!", Ratchet said heading for the controls.
Outside Starscream was decimating Skyfire, although this was due to him using the Key to Vector Sigma to heal his injuries Skyfire caused. Suddenly the Nemesis begins to fire on him and his Seeker clones.
"What? Soundwave you dare to fire on me?", Starscream shouts at his comm-link but gets no reply. "Soundwave, report!"
Starscream still gets no response.
"How could he lose to weak Autobots?", Starscream mutters in frustration and disbelief. "No matter, I still have the advantage."
Starscream grabs the injured Skyfire and open his comm-link channel to the Autobots.
"Attention, Autobots!", Starscream said. "I suggest you surrender, or Skyfire will be journeying to the Well of Allspark."
"Lord Starscream!", Sunstorm calls out.
"Not now!", Starscream said. "I'm about to gain my victory."
"But there's something heading towards us!"
Starscream turns and sees that Sunstorm said is true. It's too far, but something is definitely coming their way.
"This can't be right.", Rachet said looking at the radar. "It's an Autobot signal, but it's airborne."
Starscream sees the object coming closer and widen his optics in optics in shock at what he sees.
"Is that a flying fire truck?", Thundercracker asks.
Optimus Prime, Super mode!
Optimus transforms into his robot mode and then his trailer splits into eight pieces. The two pieces with wheels attach to the bottom and back of his legs like boots armed with a rotating cannon, two piece cover his arms like gauntlets armed with dual-barrel wrist blasters, two pieces to his shoulder as additional armor, a large helmet with wing-like horns on the sides lock in over his head with a visor covering his mouth, and lastly a jet pack armed with two large cannons (ladder on right and water cannon on left) and two smaller cannons attach to his back.
"What?!", Starscream said before Optimus appears before him and back fist Starscream's head follow by a uppercut and finally a powerful punch to the chest sending Starscream crashing towards the Nemesis unaware that the last blow allowed Optimus to snatch the Key from around his neck. The Seekers quickly open fire on him with their blasters, but did little harm on him. Optimus draws out his Ion Blaster that was attached to his water cannon and fires back on the seekers blowing them away with each shot.
"Autobots, this is Optimus Prime!", Optimus calls through his comm-link. "I have returned."
Hearing that call brought joy to the Autobots.
"Yes!", Wheeljack cheers.
"Thank the Allspark!", Ratchet follows.
Starscream bursts out of the rubble inside the Nemesis and finds himself next to the Allspark.
"I may have lost the ship and the key, but I still have the Allspark!", Starscream said grabbing it and flying out of the ship. "I'll still claim my victory!"
Suddenly energy blast pass by him. Starscream turns and see Optimus giving chase and catching up to him.
VORTEX BLADE! VORTEX CANNON!
A large purple blade and large purple cannon flips out of Starscream's large arm blaster. Starscream charges with his blade ready as Optimus draws out of sword on the side of his jet pack. The two clash blades.
"I don't know how you came back to life and gain this power, but I still have the Allspark!", Starscream states.
"And still you will not achieve your goal Starscream.", Optimus said as the two back off and clash swords once again.
"I will destroy you, just as I destroy Megatron!", Starscream shouts firing his cannon at full blast.
Optimus dodge to blast and fires his ladder cannon. Starscream fails to move in time as the blast hit the Allspark container opening it with the crystal coming out.
"No, the Allspark!", Starscream screams in horror attempting to grab it only have Optimus' Ion Blaster aimed at the back of his head.
"Surrender, Starscream.", Optimus suggests. "You have lost."
"No! No! You have lost!", Starscream screams as he presses a button. Suddenly there is an explosion coming from the Nemesis.
"What have you done?", Optimus asks.
"All I did was blowing up the power core.", Starscream reveals. "Without power the ship will crash with your Autobot friends in it."
Starscream transform into his jet mode and flies after the Allspark crystal. Optimus was trapped in a predicament; save his friends or save the Allspark.
"Optimus, don't worry!", Ratchet calls out through the comm-link. "We already have an escape route ready. Just stop Starscream."
"Sari, lend me your strength.", Optimus said as the inserts the Key to his Ion Blaster increasing it's power. Optimus aims the blaster to the Allspark.
"You want the Allspark, Starscream?", Optimus asks. "Then you'll have to find it's pieces! Fire!"
Optimus fires in Key enhanced blaster straight towards the Allspark crystal landing a direct blow cracking it open. Starscream grabs hold of it just before the crystal explodes, dispersing its energy throughout the atmosphere. Starscream screams as he is seemingly vaporized into nothing as pieces of the crystal scatters all across the Earth.
Inside Skyfire the Autobots watch the Nemesis crashes onto the moon once again.
"Thank the Allspark we place the Stasis Containment Field on the Protoforms, Energon stores, and armory just in time before we left.", Wheeljack said.
Later in the Autobot's base lies the Key on Ratchet's berth.
"Is there nothing we can do for her?", Bumblebee asks in concern.
"I'm afraid not with the equipment we have.", Ratchet said looking at the monitor. "Those Decepti-scums placed alot of those brain control chip in order to gain control of her power. If we forcefully try to remove them it will cause severe brain injury or worse put her offline."
"With the Allspark now scattered across the globe, Sari is now the most powerful Cybertronian artifact besides the Matrix.", Wheeljack said. "The Decepticons will stop at nothing to get their hands on her."
"And fear not for Sari's safety.", Optimus said showing the Autobots a smaller key.
"Hey isn't that the Key the Allspark made for Sari?", Bulkhead asks. "What's so good about it?"
"It is the only thing that can save her life.", Optimus explains as he inserts the Allspark key to the Key to Vector Sigma. The Allspark key downloads something from the Key, before Optimus removes it and then inserts it to Teletran I. The monitor then reveals Sari.
"Sari?", Prowl asks in surprise and confusion.
"Sari's consciousness has been transferred from her body to the Allspark key.", Optimus explains. "This will make it easier for Ratchet and Wheeljack to repair the damage the Decepticons made. I know you all want to talk to her, but for now she needs rest. She's been through alot today."
Out in orbit lays Starscream lifeless body floating helplessly in space when suddenly his eyes open and narrow in anger.
