We open to the Autobots and Their allies helping repair of a shattered Remnant

Wheeljack: More! Straighten it up! Nuh! There. That does it!

Huffer: Yo, Gears! Get with it! Put that slab in right, or we're gonna be here 'til the Big Dipper gets rusty!

Autobot to Decepticon

Rumble: Can't you do anything right, Skywarp?

Skywarp: Watch it, you metallic mini-meatball, or I'll step on ya!

Rumble: You and what army, you maxi-turkey?

Skywarp punts Rumble

Steggor: All right, shape up, you two! There's still a lot of damage to repair!

Soundwave: Look who's talking, Steggor.

Steggor: Rumble, start emptying the water pumps!

Frenzy: Hey, I didn't volunteer for this geeky assignment! I want Skywarp's job!

Skywarp: Butt out, Frenzy! Geek-work's made for a geek... like you!

Skywarp steps on Frenzy, who grabs Skywarp's foot and pushes him away. Rumble pounces on Skywarp's face, downing him as he continues to pummel him.

Soundwave: I raised them well

Skywarp: Get off of me, you walking junkyard!

Megatron enters the base

Megatron: Silence!

Skywarp and Soundwave: Megatron!

Rumble: But Megatron, we thought you were........ya know, kzzt!

Megatron: Well, think again! I've only lost a starship, not the war! Now I have some unfinished business with the good Dr. Merlot

Tyrannix: He-he's gone! And so is Starscream!

Megatron: I don't like that. I don't like that at all!

Laserbeak enters and lands on Soundwave

Soundwave: Laserbeak brings news. Playing back.

Starscream (VO Filtered) Now that Megatron has been destroyed, I am leader of the Decepticons. Understand, doctor?

Dr. Merlot: (VO Filtered) Yes Starscream, I understand.

Starscream: (VO Filtered) Good. Take me to your secret laboratory. I have use for your other inventions.

Cinder Fall: looks like two imbeciles aren't gonna see a sunrise

Megatron: Indeed, We must stop those traitors! Decepticons, to the air!

The Decepticons take off

With the Autobots

Wheeljack: These final adjustments should put Teletraan 1 back on-line, Prime.

Cliffjumper: Good goin', Wheeljack, everything's comin' in clear.

Optimus Prime: Too clear, Cliffjumper. Megatron is operational. We can't let him and the Decepticons regroup. Autobots, roll out!

With Starscream and Dr. Merlot

Dr. Merlot: There! Head downward, into that clearing! My laboratory is close by!

Starscream lands and transforms, after which the treasonable pair approaches the entrance area of Dr. Merlot's laboratory.

Dr. Merlot: My lab is an impenetrable fortress until I activate the front portal with a voice command.

Starscream: Then activate your mouth!
