## Transcript

### Chapter 1 - Clotho

#### Mission 1 - Thread

##### Part 1:

**Optimus Prime (MV1)**: *The reappearance of Ultra Magnus should be the cause for celebration, but sadly it only adds more confusion to our battle.*

**(SG)Megatron**: *My deepest condolences Optimus, I can only imagine the inner turmoil you must currently be wrestling with.*

**Optimus Prime(MV1)**: *Indeed, until further notice I've placed him under confinement and observation. We have to find a way to clear this planet of duplicates and then we can deal with Magnus.*

**(SG)Starscream**: *We'll figure out a way to open a Space Bridge thingy to our alternate universe and just start herdin' bad bots across!*

**(SG)Megatron**: *Let us take a lesson from our polar-opposites and truly combine forces. Amazing how they can oppose us and yet teach us.*

**(SG)Starscream**: *To quote the wise and pure Devastator, "We shall heal this world together, and create something beautiful".*

**Optimus Prime(MV1)**: *...I am going to need you to stop quoting bots from your world. It overheats my logic-processers. But yes, we should get moving.*

##### Part 2:

**Tantrum**: *Oh, so a buncha' you coming around to call me names too?*

**(SG)Starscream**: *I mean if that's what's on the menu! Hey Tantrum, the only Bull you're full of is BULL S--*

**(SG)Megatron**: *STARSCREAM! You're not exactly setting a fine example of authority here.*

**Optimus Prime(MV1)**: *Who was mocking you, Tantrum?*

**Tantrum**: *Big dumb Dino thinks he can slap on a highfalutin Britsh acceny and be all smart.*

**(SG)Starcream**: *BRITISH DINO? Oh geeze, oh man, oh gosh, Megatron! Could HE be HERE?*

**Tantrum**: *Hey, while y'all are just talking AROUND me like I ain't even here. I think I'mma get some of this anger out by givin' y'all the horns!*

Part 3-

**Optimus Prime(MV1)**: *Who has your circuits all in a tangle?*

**(SG)Megatron**: *Long ago I hoped to create soldiers, ones without Embers who ran on pure logic. Sadly I created a monster powered only by a hunger for violence.*

**(SG)Grimlock**: *Ah, thank you for such an abs-o-lutely loverly introduction Megatron. I, Grimlock, am forever in your debt. Wot.*

**Optimus Prime(MV1)**: *Your world has...a smart Grimlock?*

**(SG)Grimlock**: *Our world 'as a GENIUS GRIMLOCK! Absolutely chuffed to be here. Big plans, all terrible. Speaking of hunger...I, Grimlock, 'ave already made a friend!*

**Kickback**: *I am ready to eat their micro-chips-chips!*

**(SG)Grimlock**: *YES! Chip chip, CHEERIO ol' beans!*

**(SG)Starscream**: ***BRITISH PEOPLE DON'T EVEN SAY THAT!***

#### Mission 2 - Spindle

##### Part 1:

**(SG)Grimlock**: *I, Grimlock, 'ave utilized my magnificent mind to come 'ere, all thanks to my K.I.N.G.!*

**Optimus Prime(MV1)**: *And who is your King, Grimlock?*

**(SG)Grimlock**: *Yer undone by a simple acronym, 'ow droll.*

*Key Interdimensional Navigation Gadget or K.I.N.G.! It is the device I, Grimlock, 'ave been usin' to bring many of us to this pathetic scrap o' dirt. Wot.*

**(SG)Starcream**: *If we get that device we could maybe send everyone back, Boss!*

**(SG)Megatron**: *I had the same idea, Starscream. I didn't shout it out loud in front of everyone. But good initiative.*

##### Part 2:

**Megatron (ROTF)**: *I see that the Autobots finally have a beast worth taming.*

**(SG)Megatron**: *Stay out of this you horrifying carnival reflection!*

**Megatron(ROTF)**: *I am struck, wounded, your words cut so deep my dearest doppleganger. I merely wish to woo this Grimlock to safe haven.*

**(SG)Grimlock**: *I, Grimlock, was actually 'oping for more of a situation where one was let loose to spread fear and chaos amongst the masses.*

**Megatron(ROTF)**: *Also an option, let me clear this trash from your path and we can see what side you join.*

Part 3:

**(SG)Grimlock)**: *A perculiar pickle. Sides battlin' so eagerly. Whatever is such a commodity as myself to do? Wot!*

**(SG)Megatron**: *You will hand over the interdimensional device, surrender to our care, and join us as we transit back* home.

**(SG)Grimlock**: *Amazin', every word of what you just said was wrong. You shall leave with nothin' ...if you leave at all.*

**(SG)Starscream**: *You expect that we aren't going to try to get the K.I.N.G from you?*

**(SG) Grimlock**: *No Mr Scream...I, Grimlock, expect you to die!*

### Chapter 2 - Lachesis

#### Mission 1 - Staff

##### Part 1:

**Marissa Faireborn**: *Windblade, just doing a check in. How is Magnus doing?*

**Windblade**: *The PRISONER who has taken Ultra Magnus' form is stable enough. They won't stop rambling though. Permission to mute them?*

**Marissa Faireborn**: *How do you MUTE another Bot?*

**Windblade**: *I find that once they're knocked out most everyone gets less talkative.*

**Ultra Magnus**: *Windblade, you must believe me. I am just as confused as everyone else about what is going on.*

**Windblade**: *Keep my name out of your speakers. I'm here to guard you not listen to your lies.*

##### Part 2:

**Marrisa Faireborn**: *WINDBLADE! Something just triggered every proximity alarm Teletraan has and all surveillance cameras have gone dark.*

**Windblade**: *I heard a blast, I think someone is breaking their way into here. Commander, keep an eye on the prisoner.*

**Shockwave**: *You will find that this Commander does not follow the pathetic will of the Autobots. They came here from the flipped dimension with Magnus, isn't that right?*

**Ultra Magnus**: *I have no clue what you are speaking of, I swear to you on my maker's circuits!*

**Shockwave**: *Enough of the facade you champion of chaos!*

**Windblade**: *First I'm going to shut you down Shockwave. Then I'm going to shut down EVERYONE ELSE in this quadrant.*

**Shockwave**: *Yes, spend your last precious moments on this world being incorrect. Why make your death any less pitiful than your life?*

Part 3:

**Windblade**: *This still isn't settled. he may be an untrustworthy pile of living malware, but he seemed convinced you two weren't on the level.*

**Ultra Magnus**: *I can not remember much, but I know I am an Autobot to my core. Commander, tell Windblade we are trustworthy!*

**Windblade**: *...*

*Can't say I'm swayed by that argument. Maybe we should settle this without words.*

#### Mission 2 - Scroll

##### Part 1:

**Marissa Faireborn**: *Windblade! Enough! You're here for a purpose and that purposeis not lashing out at the Commander!*

**Windblade**: *Yeah well if they're REALLY on our team they sure seemed happy enough to beat me senseless just now*.

**Marissa Faireborn**: *There's proof to confirm they're not a duplicate. Autobots in the evil dimension apparently aren't known to let humans stay in one piece for long.*

**Windblade**: *Human aren't reowned for their longevity regardless. Can't replace any parts, can barely upgrade, not exactly impressive lifeforms.*

**Marissa Faireborn**: *...You know the coms are still open right? Coms with human friends listening?*

**Windblade**: *I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to guard possible planetary threats.*

##### Part 2:

**Bludgeon**: *I heard that an Autobot has risen from the dead to join the side of glory*

**Ultra Magnus**: *For the last time! NO! There is no world in the multiverse where I turn my back on the Autobots.*

**Windblade**: *See that's the problem. There are a lot of worlds out there, and Autobot is not a term that universally means good.*

**Bludgeon**: *You don't have to grovel in this cage longer brother. You may join the Decepticon cause, it more accurately reflects who you truly are.*

**Ultra Magnus**: *This is madness. It is an impossible task to prove to either of you my intents while I sit here to be prodded like a tested rat.*

**Bludgeon**: *How right you are, I shall disable the Commander. You make a run for it Magnus!*

Part 3:

**Windblade**: *I see you scoping out that Decepticon sized hole in the wall, prisoner. You know what...GO FOR IT. It'd give me an excuse to cut you down as you flee.*

**Ultra Magnus**: *You'd stab an Autobot in the back without mercy? You are not the Windblade I once knew.*

**Windblade**: ***I TOLD YOU TO KEEP MY NAME OUT OF YOUR FLITHY MOUTH!***

**Ultra Magnus**: *I have committed no crime. I have had no trial. I demand to be let out. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.*

**Windblade**: *You dare to twist the words of Prime at a time like this? You disgust me to my deepest core.*

**Ultra Magnus**: *My Spark is breaking in two as I raise my weapons...but I cannot stay here any longer and wait for mysteries to solve themselves. Prepare for Battle.*

### Chapter 3 - Atropos

#### Mission 1 - Shears

##### Part 1:

**Marissa Faireborn**: *Commander, Magnus has broken free but there's even more disturbing news. Teletraan found a way to hack the Polarized Autobot feed...you need to hear this!*

**(SG)Optimus Prime**: *Ah, free of that mist of battle! I have arrived to destroy this new Earth!*

**(SG)Ironhide**: *Ain't Earth. Looks like the bridge sent us somewhere a heck of a lot more interestin'.*

**(SG)Optimus Prime**: *Ironhide? Is that you? These mirrored form Wheeljack provided are astounding.*

**(SG)Ironhide**: *Astounding? I feel ridiculous. Look how much extra metal I'm packing. Flaps on flanges on pistons on parts ... I used to be so streamlined!*

**(SG)Optimus Prime**: *Enough of your vanity! What is your report on Project: OMEGA DOOM?*

**(SG)Ironhide**: *A few setbacks, thought the change of scenery would help but from what I hear there was a few Bridges sent this way from Paradron.*

**(SG)Optimus Prime**: *The prison planet? Fasinating.*

##### Part 2:

**(SG)Starcream**: *Grimlock's tech is working as expected! The Space Bridges dumped a buncha' Autojerks here!*

**Optimus Prime(MV1)**: *Easy on the insults, Starscream. Some of us still wear the Autobot name with pride.*

**(SG)Optimus Prime**: *I should rip that emblem from your corpse! Only We have the right to be called by the name AUTOBOT.*

**(SG)Megatron**: *So, Prime, just as you copied my technology to shift forms you follow the others to this world.*

**(SG)Ironhide**: *Oh I have been waiting to spill some Decepticon lubricant into the dirt and he looks ready to pop*.

**(SG)Optimus Prime**: *If it amuses you and sliences this stupidity, strike them down and show them what a real Autobot looks like.*

Part 3:

**(SG)Starscream**: *If they are still sending Bots down here, I have an idea. I may be able to use the K.I.N.G. to get us some backup.*

**(SG)Megatron**: *I dislike the concept of further flooding this planet with Bots, but I do not see many alternatives.*

**(SG)Bumblebee**: *Oh I have a lot of options ready. Rip your head off, Rip your arms off, Rip your EMBER OUT!*

**(SG)Starscream**: *There's not a lot of variety in your choices there Bumble-brat.*

**Optimus Prime(MV1)**: *Perhaps in place of taunting the crazed copy, you can communicate with our friends?*

**(SG)Optimus Prime**: *You have no friends here you hollow shell of a Pretender. Bumblebee, show them your sting!*

**(SG)Bumblebee**: *Fine! But only because I wanted to not because you said to!*

#### Mission 2 - Snipped

##### Part 1:

**(SG)Soundwave**: *MEGATRON! STARCSREAM! I got your radical response and rocked down to the Space Bridge avenue!*

**Optimus Prime(MV1)**: *I require several explanations.*

**(SG)Soundwave**: *Apologies abound my most righteous of rulers! I saw that we were color swappin' with our evil other us-ses so I thought I'd look the part!*

**(SG)Megatron**: *Very wise Soundwave! It is good to see you friend, are you ready to round up some Autobots?*

**(SG)Soundwave**: *You know I am, Boss! Ravage get out here! You can haz Auto-burgers.*

##### Part 2:

**(SG)Starscream**: *The bridge is open at the end of the path, if we can push enough of them over it a chain quantum-reaction should start dragging polarized Bots across automatically.*

**Optimus Prime(MV1)**: *Is there science to back that up?*

**(SG)Soundwave**: *He said QUANTUM didn't he? That's like peak science, my dude.*

**Optimus Prime(MV1):** *My...dude?*

**(SG)Ratchet**: *Ah one last surgical strike on this merry band of misfits.*

**(SG)Soundwave:** *We're starting BAND, Bros? I have no mouth...yet I must ROCK!*

Part 3:

**(SG)Optimus Pirme**: *You can try and remove us from this world. But what of the mysteries left behind? Do they not claw at you?*

**Optimus Prime(MV1)**: *They haunt me, yes. We shall tie up the loose ends in time. Your continued presence on this world is a threat to the very fabric of our reality.*

**(SG)Optimus Pirme:** *I know one who spoke like you...Nemesis Prime.*

**Optimus Prime(MV1):** *There is a polar opposite Nemesis Prime. A dark shadow of your own dark shadow?*

**(SG)Optimus Pirme:** *He is a meddling spirit of pure light seeking to unite all timelines. An angelic fool.*

**(SG)Megatron**: *OPTIMUS! COMMANDER! This is the final push! No matter how this ends, I have been and always shall be your friend!*

**(SG)Optimus Pirme:** *Enough of your popping pleasantries! AUTOBOTS! DESTROY!*

**Optimus Prime(MV1):** *We have lost too much to turn back now. AUTOBOTS! ROLL OUT!*
