Transformers: Prime

Is it really wise for shockwave to spawn an army of beasts

Here in this laboratory,

Or within any part of this warship?

I mean, not even the lone beast we had was compact enough

To stroll these corridors

Without tearing them asunder.

Which reminds me, I am so very sorry for your loss.

I was referring to my offsite laboratory,

Which we have erected expressly

For the cloning procedures.

You think of everything, don't you?

We are under attack.

Autobots?

Illogical.

Though there appears to be an enormous mass

Upon the upper hull.

How did it find us?

Predacons possess precise homing instinct.

And astonishing resilience.

Starscream, assume command of my beast.

Me, master?

I-- I mean, I wouldn't dream of seizing such an honor

From its very creator.

Military command of the predacon is most logical,

Since my services are required elsewhere.

All right, beast hunters.

According to our intel,

The decepticons should be excavating

For predacon bones directly beneath us.

On it, chief.

Does wheeljack not comprehend the chain of command?

I didn't authorize him to advance without proper cover.

I'm sure jackie's just trying to prove himself

Now that you and he are serving together again, sir.

Yee-ha!

Jackie, wait up.

Ultra magnus wants us to--

Blah, blah, blah.

Shh! Shh!

Wrecker fact number 17?

"guards never look up."

Scrap.

That's why we wait for cover.

Ah, bolts.

Uh...

Forgot you were in there, kid.

At least I didn't heave on any floormats this time.

You miserable beast.

I am your commanding officer,

And I order you to crawl into your kennel now!

I said go, already!

Ahh!

And what could have possibly compelled you

To bring the native?

Yo.

Can I come with?

Why not?

Are your circuits impaire, soldier?

Prime told you to lead the wreckers on this one.

I assumed he meant all of 'em.

Are you mocking your commanding officer?

Wouldn't think of it, sir.

The kid's a full-blown wrecker. Isn't that right, bulkhead?

Well...

Look. She may be small, but she saved my tailpipe.

Snuffed an insection all on her own.

Outside standard protocol, no doubt.

The point is, I can handle myself, sir.

Miko has been through worse,

And we've drawn out the enemy and cleared passage.

Okay, now in you go.

Do your worst.

The apex armor is virtually--

No! Ahh! Release me!

Starscream, are you with the beast?

Yes, master.

We've been reviewing attack maneuvers.

He's doing quite well.

One of the excavation teams has failed to report in.

I shall assemble my seeker armada immediately and--

I would prefer that you lead our newly-returned asset

On this mission,

So that we may see if our predacon is as adept

At fetching bones as it is hunting autobots.

Is this it?

No. That is a rock.

Heh. Just like old times, huh, jackie?

Pt back then, I didn't ned permission to pick my partner.

Come on, we're all on the same team.

Hey, beast hunters, right?

During all those cycles it took me to travel to earth,

All I could think about

Was getting our band of brothers back together.

But this isn't the lineup I had in mind.

You did the smart thin, bulk,

Leaving the wreckers when you did.

While we were still bringing our a-game,

Before the rust set in.

Wait, I thought wheeljack was the one who left the wrecker.

Jackie basically deserted

Once the wreckers fell under ultra magnus' command.

I transferred out before that to join up with Optimus

In the battle of thunderhead pass.
