They moved on to when Christine met Raoul again, he invited her to supper. She tried explaining that the Angel of music was very strict, but Raoul shrugged it off as a joke, "Two minutes, Little Lottie."
"Raoul wait!" But Raoul had walked out already.
"Insolent boy, this slave of fashion, basking in your glory," a voice boomed.
The song moves on until the phantom shows himself and then the song Phantom of the Opera starts playing. Metalsound quickly melted into Thunderhoof as the Phantom and Christine started singing. Thunderhoof held her close as he listened to them.
"They're good," Razorclaw whispered.
"Yes, they are," Soundwave whispered back.
Christine and the phantom traveled through the catacombs, and into the phantom's lair. He then starts singing Music of the Night. Razorclaw's tail wrapped around Soundwave's waist as the phantom continued to sing, Soundwave felt it but made no effort to remove it.
Strongarm leaned on Steeljaw's arm, and Steeljaw wrapped his tail around her waist as he continued to listen to the phantom singing. Metalsound wrapped her tail around Thunderhoof's waist as she leaned against his shoulder. The phantom finished the song as they moved on to the next day. The movie kept going and soon got to the part where Raoul and Christine sing to each other.
"That's so romantic," Strongarm whispers as she snuggles up against Steeljaw.
"Yes it is," he whispered back.
Soundwave slid an arm around Razorclaw's waist. Razorclaw felt the movement but he didn't shy away. As Raoul and Christine left the phantom came out from hiding, singing about how he had been betrayed by Christine. Metalsound's spark broke for the poor man.
"Awe poor guy," both Strongarm and Arcee says feeling sorry for the phantom.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. Metalsound chanted to herself as the phantom started crying, but a moment later the phantom showed anger as he sang his last lines for the scene and the instrumental version of The Phantom of the Opera song started to play, "Wow, that turned wicked fast," says Strongarm.
"That was kind of fast," Steeljaw agreed as the Masquerade ball started.
"What are they wearing on their faces?" Thunderhoof asked.
"Masks, this is a Masquerade ball. In other words, they wore masks to hide their faces. The song will explain," Metalsound whispered as the song went on. Christine wanted to keep her engagement a secret while Raoul wanted to understand what she was afraid of.
"Why would she want to keep it a secret?" Strongarm asked quietly.
"Probably to keep the phantom from finding out," Steeljaw replied quietly.
A man in a red suit came to the scene with a skull mask, "Is that..?" Sideswipe trailed off feeling scared.
They watched as he walked closer to Christine while singing, then gasped when the phantom snatched the ring off her neck, "You belong to me!"
Strongarm giggled, "That's kind of how you were at first," she whispered to Steeljaw.
"I wasn't that bad," he countered quietly.
"Yes, you were," Metalsound and Thunderhoof spoke at the same time.
Strongarm gave out a soft giggle, "See they agree with me."
Steeljaw's ears folded back, "Sorry," he said as he held her close.
"Don't worry about it, it's part of the reason why we're together now," she whispers to him as she lays her helm on his shoulder. Steeljaw nuzzled her neck as Raoul went after the phantom, stuck in a room of mirrors.
Later they got to the cemetery scene where Christine was missing her father and wishing he was there. Metalsound sighed, knowing how the girl felt. She missed Dreadwing every day, "Wandering child, so lost so helpless, yearning for my guidance."
They watched as Christine was getting pulled into the song and going into the tomb until Raoul came riding in on his horse and stops her, "Christine, this is not your father!"
The phantom seemingly appeared out of nowhere, drawing his blade once he was on the ground, "Finally some action," Sideswipe muttered with excitement. But the sword fight lasted only a couple of minutes then was over and Raoul rode off with Christine, "That's it?" Sideswipe whined as the phantom declared war on Christine and Raoul. Then Raoul plots with the managers to take down the phantom by using Christine as bait but Christine wasn't liking the idea and was scared.
"Why are they using the poor girl as bait?" Arcee asked.
"They know the phantom will come for her and they're trying to catch him. But yeah, shame on them for using her like that," Metalsound explained quietly.
"I know she's the only one the phantom will come for, kind of sweet actually, but still I wish they wouldn't put her through the terror."
"I know."
The movie went on to "The Point of No Return", the phantom sang his song to Christine as they met in the middle of the bridge set.
"Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Anywhere you go let me go too that's all I ask of-" just then Christine ripped his mask off and showed his face.
Metalsound growled in annoyance as the others yelped in fear, "That's all? He looks like he got a bad sunburn," she complained.
It then escalated to the phantom releasing the chandelier making it fall as he picks up Christine and runs off with her, then the entire Opera house went up in flames with everyone scrambling to get out.
"Well, that happened," Wheeljack looked at the explosion, dumbfounded.
"Yep," Arcee said in agreement
The phantom dragged Christine through the catacombs while Madame Giry lead Raoul to where the phantom had taken Christine. Raoul enters and everyone gasps as the phantom tied him to the bars of the gate and tells Christine she better agree to marry him or Raoul dies.
"Why make her choose then? She'll feel awful if she says no because Raoul will die and the phantom will still keep her anyway, but if she agrees to marry him Raoul goes free, but she'll be miserable," Razorclaw argued quietly.
"It's a double-edged sword," Metalsound replied quietly, "Either way she will lose," she sighed.
"That's not fair," Strongarm whispers.
"Pitiful creature of darkness, what kind of life have you known?" Christine slowly made her way toward the man whom she had trusted. Asking God to give her courage she kissed him.
"Whoa, didn't see that coming," Grimlock says quietly
"I don't think anyone was expecting it, except for Metalsound," Bumblebee whispered as he looked at the female Predacon who looked like she was about to cry.
Christine kissed the phantom again, and after a few seconds, the phantom seemed like a different person. He tells them to leave, "He's letting them go? Just like that?" Steeljaw asked.
"If you love something, set it free," Optimus replied as the phantom watched his music box.
He sang the Masquerade song as Christine watched him, "Christine, I love you," he sang in a broken tone. She took off his ring, giving it back to him. The femmes awed feeling sorry for the guy.
"Darn it," Metalsound started crying into Thunderhoof's shoulder as Raoul and Christine left, singing their song.
"It's over now the music of the night!" The phantom started breaking the mirrors in his lair. The other femmes started crying as well. The movie ended with a much older Raoul in a graveyard, placing the phantom's music box on Christine's grave. As he started to leave he saw a single red rose with a black thread and a ring.
"That was good, but it was sad," Razorclaw felt a little confused as the end credits started.
"Who picked this?" Sideswipe asked feeling a little annoyed.
"Metalsound did," Bumblebee replies.
"It was awesome," Sideswipe chuckled nervously.
Metalsound shrugged, "It's something I like but not everyone will like the same thing. No one's forcing you to like it."
"Well, it was somewhat better than Romeo and Juliet," Strongarm adds.
"Why's that?" Steeljaw asked.
"Well, they got together and didn't kill themselves. The only sadness is that the phantom was left to be alone for the rest of his life."
"Yeah, you're right about that."
"I think she should have gone with the phantom," Razorclaw put in.
"I think so too," Arcee says in agreement. Everyone then left for their quarters.
