Soon they discover that there are other forces at work on the planet - a powerful alien race that does not approve of their presence. And as they delve deeper into the planet's history, they uncover a terrible secret, one that must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands, or their entire race's very existence could be threatened. It is one of several infomercial series marketing the Transformers toy line to children. It was followed by sequel series Beast Machines: Transformers (1999-2000).

### Optimal Situation [3.01]

    Megatron: Farewell, Maximals. With the destruction of Optimus Prime, the Decepticons and Predacons now take their rightful places as rulers of Cybertron. I, Megatron, have triumphed... Yeeesssss.
    Blackarachnia: NO. You forget I was a Maximal protoform. Teletron 1, activate. [Megatron yells]
    Inferno: I will protect you, royalty.
    Megatron: No, Inferno! not this time. This is not the end of it, Optimal Optimus... No. The universe cowered once at the name of Megatron, and it shall do so again!
    Optimus Primal: Freedom is the right of ALL sentient beings, Megatron!
    Megatron: Then they'd better stay out of my way!
    Rattrap: Oh, for bootin' up cold, will you just shoot him already?
    Optimus Primal: I'm trying not to resort to that.
    Rattrap: Then I will.
    Optimus Primal: NO!
    Megatron: You?
    Blackarachnia: Well, what did you expect, you metal megalomaniac? That I would die for your insane ambition?
    Megatron: Then or now, Blackarachnia, there will be no more betrayals. [Charges his weapon and fires. Blackarachnia screams]
    Silverbolt: Blackarachnia?

### Deep Metal [3.02]

    Depthcharge: It's not revenge I'm looking for. It's justice.
    Depthcharge: Computer, where is he?
    Maximal Computer: Coordinates 0-0-0.
    Depthcharge: There's nothing there but rocks...
    Rampage: [Jumps out from underneath the rocks] Greetings, old playmate, so glad you could come.
    Depthcharge: X!
    Rampage: I'm called Rampage now. A bit obvious, but to the point, don't you think?
    Optimus Primal: X is not alone. He's a Predacon now under Megatron's control. There are six of them.
    Depthcharge: I gotta hand it to ya, Primal, when you screw up, you do it big time. But thanks for the tip.
    Depthcharge: Slag the High Council.

### Changing of the Guard [3.03]

    Depthcharge: I knew saving your hide was a mistake.
    Optimus Primal: Rattrap?
    Rattrap: Oh, well, yeah, technically, he did KINDA do that... um... eh... thanks.

### Cutting Edge [3.04]

    Megatron: The base is undermanned and unprotected, ours for the asking."
    Quickstrike: Aww, now, we ain't gonna ask, are we? How's about we just blast our way in there, an' slag everybody 'n' TAKE IT?!
    Megatron: Mmmmm... okay!
    Tarantulas: [Targeting Chak and Una] Well, look at this. A pair of pint-sized knuckle draggers!
    Megatron: Quickstrike, you may lead.
    Quickstrike: YEAH! That's what I like to hear!
    Inferno: Royalty? Why was I not chosen?
    Megatron: Because, Inferno, when expecting booby traps... [Quickstrike falls for the old Giant Fist to the metal wall trap!] Always send the BOOB in first.
    Rattrap: Rattrap to Optimus… hate to interrupt your picnic, but we got big Pred problems!
    Optimus Primal: Just hang on, Rattrap. You and Rhinox are our last hope. Defend the— defend the— [sings] There he is, my little guy...! There he is; my little guy. Isn’t he cute?
    Rattrap: That’s not what I wanted to hear.

### Feral Scream: Part 1 [3.05]

    Megatron: From the tempest's fury, the spark ignites! [laughs] To sire new life! Transmetal 2 life!
    Optimus Primal: What happened to Cheetor?
    Depthcharge: [Gives Primal Cheetor's breastplate] Kid was tough. He went out fighting.
    Rampage: You gave this the core of my spark?! I shall rip it from his chest and restore it within me!
    Megatron: The other equipment has been salvaged, but you took the alien Transmetal unit. Where is it?
    Depthcharge: Gone. Ain't that a kick in the lugnuts?

### Feral Scream: Part 2 [3.06]

    Megatron: That meddling feline destroyed my machinery and improved himself in the process!
    Waspinator: Mmm, improved." [Pointedly looks at Dinobot]
    Optimus Primal: You listen, hardhead. Cheetor's gone, and I think you know something! So you will talk, or I will rip out your core processor and extract the information personally!
    Depthcharge: Well, since you asked so nicely. Your little kitty-cat pulled some kind of alien gizmo off of Megatron's organic transmetal unit.
    Optimus Primal: Did he succeed?
    Depthcharge: Yeah, but the device was already activated.
    Optimus Primal: He was caught in the overload.
    Depthcharge: I already destroyed the gizmo. I'm sorry. I didn't know that was what he'd become.
    Optimus Primal: Yes! You did it! [lifts Cheetor up]
    Cheetor: Optimus! Back off, okay? You're embarrassing me! [Optimus puts him down; he turns towards Silverbolt and Rattrap] You looking at something?
    Rattrap: Oh, joy... cyber-puberty.

### Go with the Flow [3.08]

    Depthcharge: [Lies on his back, unable to move] Marvelous... [a butterfly lands on his torso, to the butterfly] What are YOU looking at?
    Oona: [Puts the stabilizer crystal in her hair] Oona pretty.
    Ratrap and Depthcharge: A stabilizer crystal?
    Rattrap: Hey, what are ya doin'?
    Depthcharge: Energon circuits... fried... no power.
    Rattrap: Ohhh, then switch to glide mode or somethin'!
    Depthcharge: I don't have a glide mode, mouse!
    Rattrap: But you gotta do SOMETHIN'!
    Depthcharge: I'm open to suggestions.
    Rattrap: Oh, okay... how 'bout we crash down into that mountains and die horrible, agonizing deaths?
    Waspinator: Waspinator to Megatron. Waspinator has... OW... female fleshy bot... OW... but there is problem...
    Megatron: She'd better not be injured.
    Waspinator: No, she injuring Waspinator... OW!
    Megatron: Ahh, situation normal then. Yes.
    Depthcharge: Ow! Careful, you moronic mouse!
    Rattrap: Hey, if you can RIDE a little steadier, maybe I can steer better!
    Depthcharge: You couldn't steer a garbage scow!
    Rattrap: Yeah, like a floatin' flounder's any better!
    Depthcharge: [Last lines] You know, those Preds are probably slagged and helpless back there. We oughta go finish 'em off.
    Rattrap: In case you haven't noticed, Scales, we ain't exactly in fighting trim ourselves. I say we go home.
    Depthcharge: Why am I not surprised?
    Rattrap: Say, uh, Una... [points his gun at Depthcharge's head] Cheetor ever show you my recipe for FRIED flounder? [Depthcharge hits Rattrap with his tail]
    Rattrap: Huh, I ain't dead!
    Depthcharge: This day's just full of disappointments...
    Megatron: My disruptor ray shall destroy them!
    Rattrap: So... uh... how are you doing there, Charlie Tuna? Them energon circuits still sizzled?
    Depthcharge: They'll recover. Just DIG ME OUT!
    Rattrap: Hah, and leave me exposed to Pred fliers? Ha ha, NO way! You just lie there and get your juice back.
    Depthcharge: Where are you going?
    Rattrap: Hey, this is STILL a rescue mission, remember? [Scampers off]
    Megatron: The disruptor cannon is now operational. And as it happens, our targets are right in line with the Maximal base. We shall destroy both in a single, glorious onslaught of energon devastation!

### Crossing The Rubicon [3.09]

    Rattrap: Hmph! You couldn't pay me let that spider inside my processor.
    Cheetor: Shut up, Rattrap...!
    Silverbolt: Listen to him, you rat, if you value your spark.
    Rattrap: Was... that a threat?
    Cheetor: [Gives Rattrap a little shove] Count on it. [Gives him a genuinely angry look]

### Master Blaster [3.10]

    Megatron: Sometimes deception is the better part of valor.
    Megatron: I can suffer your treachery, lieutenant, but not your incompetence! [throws Tarantulas towards the lava] Treachery requires no mistakes.
    Tarantulas: [pulling himself back out] Yes, Megatron... no mistakes...
    Megatron: Enter the dragon!

### Other Victories [3.11]

    Megatron: Waspinator will speak for the defense.
    Waspinator: Ooh, Waspinator like defense. A little more defense and maybe Waspinator not get blown up all the time!

### Nemesis: Part 1 [3.12]

    Silverbolt: Worry not, my love. It's just a...scratch
    Optimus Primal: Maybe. But I think you're due some time in the CR chamber.
    Silverbolt: Sir, I'm fine. I—
    Blackarachnia: Shut up and obey your commander, bone-brain.
    Silverbolt: Yes, dear.
    Dinobot II: [Referring to a Decepticon warship] Hmm... impressive.
    Megatron: Oh, it is more than that, my malevolent minion. That is the most powerful Decepticon warship in Transformer history. The ship that shot down the Ark itself! The Nemesis!
    Inferno: There! That will be our new colony!
    Quickstrike: Eww, I don't wanna move in there. It got all them hairy critters in it. Unless... unless you mean, we's gonna slag 'em! Oh, oh, please tell me that's what yer plannin'!
    Inferno: The royalty demands a new colony, and we shall take it, by force.
    Quickstrike: YA-HOO! Now yer talkin', haha! How's about it, bug boy? You ready to rip? Haha!
    Waspinator: No.
    Quickstrike: What?!
    Inferno: But the royalty commands!
    Waspinator: I said no! Dragon-Bot command you, Sub-Commander Kiss-Butt! Dragon-Bot not command Waspinator! Not any more! Waspinator sick of being evil. Sick of being Predacon! And, Waspinator especially sick of getting BLOWN TO SCRAP ALL THE TIME! Sooo, Waspinator QUIT! As of now, which means Ant-Bot and Two-Head can just pucker their mandibles and plant big, wet, juicy ones right here on Waspinator's BIG...FAT...STRIPY...!
    Depth Charge: I have no time for you, X!
    Rampage: Like you had no time for Starbase Rugby? You had friends there, as I recall... tasty ones too!
    Depth Charge: Raw energon! Right through your twisted spark! Take it! Take it straight to the pit, you SICKENING PIECE OF SLAG!

### Nemesis: Part 2 [3.13]

    Megatron: "I am that which is, which was, and is yet to come! And you will know my name is Megatron when I lay my vengeance upon you!"
    Dinobot II: You've already read the Covenant of Primus?
    Megatron: Just the good parts.
    Megatron: Hmm... I suppose, given my imminent godhood, these primitives should really be beneath my intention. Ah, still, no score is too small to settle, I always say.
    Dinobot II: You would turn the full fury of this mighty warship on a lone anthropoid? Tell me, Megatron, where's the honor in that?
    Megatron: [Growls] You dare use the h-word to me?
    Dinobot II: I... I apologize! I... I merely felt our power should be conserved for the... the larger battle!
    Megatron: Ah. Duly noted... and ignored!
    Rhinox: Blackarachnia, is that capacitor circuit ready?
    Blackarachnia: I need a conduit cable to finish the connection [Sees Rattrap's sword-tail and grab it] Ah!
    Rattrap: Hey! You emasculatin' fembot! [Blackarachnia smirked at him and she trimmed his sword-tail into the cable]
    Silverbolt: Oh!
    Blackarachnia: [Connects the cable into an engine] Yes! Main thrusters now connected to Teletron 1.
    Rattrap: It's teletraan!
    Blackarachnia: [Scoffs] Whatever!
    Rhinox: Last chance, bots, start ignition sequence.
    [In the control room of the Nemesis]
    Megatron: Oh, well, come on. Let's have it. The usual "destiny and honor" speech.
    Optimus Primal: Speech this! [Punches Megatron in the face]
    Megatron: [Quoting the Covenant of Primus] "And there came a hero who said, "Hurt not the earth, nor the trees, nor the seas, nor the very fabric of time." But the hero would not prevail."
    Optimus Primal: Finish the quote, Megatron. "Nor would he surrender!"
    Megatron: Destroy them!
    Dinobot II: Negative!
    Megatron: WHAT?! What possible reason do you have to disobey me?! I am your master! I am your creator!
    Dinobot II: And I... have my honor!
    Optimus Primal: [Quoting the Covenant of Primus] "'In the Spark of an enemy, there will be salvation; and in the darkest hour, there will be a light."
    Rattrap: Yeah, from a very unexpected source - old Chopperface's clone. Who'da thunk it?
    Optimus Primal: And let us never forget those other brave 'bots, whose sacrifice safeguarded past, present, and future...
