[explosion booms]
- Whoa! Ah.
[exciting music]
Huh?
[grunts]
Sorry, Shrapnel.
[transforming]
[tires screech]
- [screaming]
- [grunts]
[transforming]
- [grunts]
- Bumblebee, up here!
- Yes! I have it!
[screams]
Autobot lackey!
- [grunts]
- Ah. - [struggling efforts]
[soundwaves pulsing]
[both grunting]
- Decepticons, bear witness
to the fall of Megatron!
To the fall of Megatron!
[struggling efforts]
- Ahh!
[grunts]
- Optimus! AllSpark incoming!
[grunts]
- Well done, Bumblebee.
- [grunts]
- I was wide open!
- Lieutenant Malto with a power kick
to you, Sergeant Latrine.
- Latrine? [grunts]
- And now, I, Megatron, will end this war!
- You'll have to deal with Starscream first!
- Wait! You're Soundwave. I'm Starscream.
- [grunts]
- Recovered!
Pretend you're the Spacebridge, Megatron,
because here it comes!
Because here it comes!
[all panting]
[tense music]
[transforming]
[mysterious synth music]
- My apologies.
This place, that day...
some scars you cannot see.
[transforms] - Totally understand.
- Wow. - Whew!
- I don't have scars, but I get it.
- Water under the Spacebridge.
- It's us who should apologize.
- We know how you feel, Megatron.
We came here with Mom once.
She said she was with you in that battle,
and some of it was pretty bad.
- We shouldn't have been messing around like that.
Not here.
- Okay, but since LARPing the final battle
is clearly frowned upon,
what'd you bring us here to do?
- Learn.
- Ooh, ooh! I know all about
the Transformers War from Dad.
The Autobots bravely saved the universe
from the Decepticons' clutches.
From the Decepticons' clutches.
- Heh.
The end is only a piece of a much larger story.
- Uh, the ending is the best part.
[imitating blasters]
Hello? World saved?
[somber music]
[powering on]
- Who understands what this is?
- A photo op! [shutter clicks]
[laughs]
- Not exactly, Hashtag.
They're Cybertronian Remembrance Flowers.
- Mom says when every Autobot and Decepticon fell,
these absorb the pieces of their spark.
- Each of these is a life lost in battle?
[gasps]
- Many fell that day.
Autobot, Decepticon, and human.
- Tragic.
- Megatron, no disrespect,
but we didn't start a war or hurt anyone.
What's this got to do with us?
- Our fight was destroying our species.
I was finally convinced to abandon my side
and join the Autobots.
I regret waiting so long to do the right thing.
- When was your metaphorical change of heart, exactly?
- It's not when, Nightshade, but who.
It was your mother, Lieutenant Dorothy Malto.
A human soldier showed more compassion
for my own people than I did.
Sparks are precious.
Dot reminded me of that.
- Does this have anything to do with us
being the last hope of an entire species?
Because... [clang]
What?
- What do you know of the AllSpark?
- Oh, Dad told us about that too.
It's an artifact that creates Cybertronians.
- And keeps our home planet alive.
Whoever takes the AllSpark
can raise countless new Transformers.
Can raise countless new Transformers.
[explosions boom, gunfire]
- Legions of warriors.
I'm starting to see why this doohickey
might be useful in battle.
Might be useful in battle.
[howling in distance]
[owl hooting]
- The Decepticons had the AllSpark
in their possession.
But my attempts to peacefully reason with them failed.
Though the Autobots lauded my efforts,
my own people branded me...
a traitor.
- A traitor?
- Mr. Megatron?
I don't get why the Decepticons didn't wanna go home.
They had the AllSpark, right?
- Good question, Mo.
I'll add: How does any of this explain
why Terrans are the last hope of a species, hmm?
Bear witness to the fall of Megatron!
- It was our darkest hour.
Our planet was dying without its life force.
If Cybertron was to be saved,
we had to get the AllSpark back home.
We had to get the AllSpark back home.
Optimus' orders were clear.
Sneak in behind enemy lines
and retrieve the AllSpark.
- Megatron.
- Shockwave.
It does not need to be like this, old friend.
You made it like this, Megatron.
You joined the other side.
- It stopped being about "sides"
the moment the AllSpark left Cybertron!
The moment the AllSpark left Cybertron!
Our home dies without it.
So many innocents sacrificed for what?
- For our glory.
- No!
- We will conquer this planet
and resurrect our own
under Decepticon rule.
With this, the Autobots will kneel before us!
- We began this war so none would kneel.
It all has to end.
- It will end. [beep]
Sooner than you think.
- A Protoform army?
- Once the AllSpark awakens them,
the Autobots will fall,
Cybertron will be ours,
and the Earth will be no more!
[grunts]
Megatron.
Traitor.
- I'm sorry, old friend.
- Well done, Megatron.
Now let's end this war.
- [grunts]
Sorry, Shrapnel.
[transforming]
[tires screech]
- [screaming]
- Take cover!
[transforming] - [grunts]
- Bumblebee, up here!
[explosion booms] - Yes!
I have it!
[screams]
Autobot lackey!
[struggling efforts]
[soundwaves pulsing]
[both grunting]
- Ah!
Decepticons, bear witness
to the fall of Megatron!
To the fall of Megatron!
[struggling efforts]
- Now, Megatron!
[grunting]
- Ahh!
[grunts]
[wondrous music]
- No!
- My greatest fear
is that the AllSpark was destroyed in the explosion.
- But... that would mean...
- Your home planet and every bot on it...
- Gone.
- Terribly tragic.
- I can see why our AllSpark game
might've been hard to watch.
- Even we didn't know this part of the story.
- The source of AllSparks
and Cybertron itself
may be extinct.
We chose war and brought ourselves close to doom.
Our hope is that your generation finds a better way.
- [sighs]
- Thrash?
[ominous music]
[powering on]
[somber music]
- You're worried about me.
Don't be.
That war... I get why it started,
but once it became Decepticons versus Autobots?
I mean yeah sure, Megs finally cleaned up his mess,
but he's the one who let it get that far.
Now he wants to put the weight of it
all on our shoulders, you know?
And I mean... Why aren't you talking?
- I'm here to listen.
- Well, what's he trying to teach us?
All I've learned is that he messed up,
and we're supposed to fix things.
- Maybe he's trying to teach us not to make the same mistakes.
[powering on] - [gasps]
[explosion booms]
- Megatron.
- Get behind me.
- [gasps]
- [growls]
- At last, we meet again.
The Spacebridge! No!
Who did this?
- Shockwave, the war is over.
You've been offline for years.
- Lies!
- Ohh! Uh!
[struggling efforts]
- Back off.
- Is that?
- The Immobilizer.
- Leave them out of this, Shockwave.
- Them? Just who exactly is them?
- [struggling efforts] [whirring]
[gasps]
- [grunts] - Ahh!
- Thrash! - [grunts]
- Abominations.
Accidents of the Emberstone.
- They are not accidents!
- The Decepticons lost the war.
Put the Immobilizer down!
These Terrans are the new path to the future.
- You think you can just start over
with these lower class Cybrids?
With these lower class Cybrids?
- Class. You have learned nothing.
- Except that you'll eventually betray them,
just like you did me.
[blasts]
- [grunts]
- Ah!
- [groans]
[blaster whirrs]
Look out!
[all grunting]
- [gasps] - Ah!
[metal groaning]
- [grunts]
[grunting]
[fighting efforts]
Ahh!
[beeps] [whirring]
- The war continues so long as I stand to oppose you.
- Ah!
- Let's go out with fireworks.
[beeps]
[whirring]
- [grunts]
- I've overloaded the power core below.
It won't be long now.
- [grunts]
Ah!
[transforming]
- Shockwave is going to blow the bridge's power cells.
We have to stop him.
[electricity zaps] Ah! Uh!
We have just enough Energon in us for those things to hurt.
If we can't get to Shockwave,
how will we stop the detonation?
How will we stop the detonation?
[explosions booming]
I think I can take the power core offline
if I just get close enough.
- Mo, stay and watch over our family.
You two, follow me! [transforming]
[tires screech]
[transforming]
- [screeching]
[explosion booms] - [gasps]
[transforming]
- [grunting]
- [laughs]
[transforming] - [screeches]
- Okay, okay, okay.
[transforming] Clock's ticking.
You're up, Nightshade.
Time to use that big brain of yours.
- [grunting]
[electricity zaps] Ah!
[powering down]
Good. Wasn't 100% sure that would work.
- What?
- [grunting]
[transforming]
- You brought this on yourself, Megatron.
- [grunting]
[panting] - Humans.
Sentient bags of goo.
Leave, or perish with the traitor.
- Bullies never win, Shockwave.
- Ahh! [metal groaning]
- Yeah! [laughs]
[beeps]
[powering down]
- Nightshade, we good yet?
- Almost. Huh! [electricity zapping]
[powering down]
There! Now we're good.
[crashing]
- And... [chuckles] if I wore shorts,
I'd have to go change them.
- Oh, hey, Megatron!
- Power cord is connected.
Detonation averted.
- Should we do the honors?
[whirring]
- Huh. - Oh.
- [sighs]
- Uh, where did I go just then?
[Mo laughs]
- Well, this was not quite the memorial visit I had planned.
- Us either.
- I suppose the moment has passed for imparting my wisdom.
- Actually, Megatron, you gave us a lot to think about.
- And an excellent warning
of how good intentions can turn bad.
Of how good intentions can turn bad.
- We could use some advice
on how to be your only hope, though.
- When the day comes for you to emerge from hiding,
expect harsh words from those who do not understand.
Expect harsh words from those who do not understand.
Stand up for yourselves, yes.
But remember, do not let your disagreements divide you.
The Decepticons and Autobots
could've accomplished so much more
if we had remembered that.
Do not do what we did.
Do better.
