## Transcript

### Evil Forces

Part 1

* Jetfire: *Wheeljack, I've altered your Chrono-Vector Device to analyze fractures from our timeline.*
* Wheeljack: *That why you got the Autobot and Decepticon crews all standing around?*
* Jetfire: *What you see are Chrono-Anomalies. By battling them we can ping their Chrono-Reference-Alignment-Parameters.*
* Wheeljack: *Yeah...I'm just going to call them Time-Slices.*
* Jetfire: *If you must. We should begin our research immediately.*
* Wheeljack: *Fighting and learning, sounds up my alley! Let's start with some Decepticons!*

Part 2

* Shockwave: *Prepare for termination!*

Part 3

* Soundwave: *Escape is impossible! Autobots inferior, Soundwave superior!*

Part 4

* Megatron: *Everything I touch is food for my hunger. My hunger for power!*
* Wheeljack: *Hey Jetfire, the Time-Slices keep shouting at me!*
* Jetfire: *Each interaction with them pierces a unique Chrono-Vector, it is possible we were mid-conversation before we engage them.*
* Wheeljack: ...*Knowing why somehow makes it worse.*

### No Place to Run

Part 1

* Jetfire: *We must engage with Autobot-Vectors.*
* Wheeljack: *Seems we've got a road race to join.*
* Jetfire: *Indeed. We must be quick, and don't hold back.*
* Wheeljack: *So to be clear, you want this drag race to be fast AND...*
* Jetfire: *Fully within the parameters of our experiment.*
* Wheeljack: *Never going to launch a franchise with that title.*

Part 2

* Ratchet: *No more backtalk, or I'll short your mouth circuit.*

Part 3

* Mirage: *Sorry Prime, the ship was full!*

Part 4

* Bumblebee: *Prime told me there'd be days like this.*
* Wheeljack: *And you didn't believe him?*
* Jetfire: (hitting Wheeljack on the head) *Wheeljack, they can't interact with you like that.*
* Wheeljack: Ow! *Sorry, it just felt so familiar! Alright, let's rumble Bumble!*

### From the Sky Above

Part 1

* Jetfire: *The road is clear, time to take on some of the Decepticons in the sky.*
* Wheeljack: *There's a familiar face right in front of us.*
* Jetfire: *Indeed! It appears that one of my own..Time-Slices...has materialized.*
* Wheeljack: *Well, I'll just go up there and punch you as hard as I can.*
* Jetfire: *For science?*
* Wheeljack: *...yeah. Science.*

Part 2

* Starscream: *Megatron has fallen! I, Starscream, am now your new leader!*

Part 3

* Cyclonus: *Warriors such as you and I should meet their end in battle.*

Part 4

* Galvatron: *Cybertron and all its moons belong to me!*
* Wheeljack: *There's a lot of ego on these guys, huh?*
* Jetfire: *I am here to analyze the impossibly complex chrono-vectors of our timelines, not their mental states.*
* Wheeljack: *I'm writing down that they're jerks.*
* Jetfire: *Remain scientific and impartial, Wheeljack.*
* Wheeljack: *Fine. I'll just shoot them a bunch.*
* Jetfire: *That is preferable for our research, thank you.*

### Wage Their Battle

Part 1

* Wheeljack: *One more group of Autobots to get through.*
* Jetfire: *I see your Time-Slice in the distance, when we reach it shall I take care of the battle?*
* Wheeljack: *N'ah, I've always wanted to know if I could beat me in a fair fight.*
* Jetfire: *How would fighting yourself be ... not fair?*
* Wheeljack: *I'm a complicated Bot. Also...I fight dirty.*

Part 2

* Grimlock: *ME GRIMLOCK KING!*

Part 3

* Jazz: *Do it with style or don't bother doing it.*

Part 4 - finale

* Optimus Prime: *So long as freedom exists. We shall remember you...*
* Jetfire: *...curious.*
* Wheeljack: *What's up Jetfire?*
* Jetfire: *Nothing. It...it was just an odd moment to recall. We need to finish this research.*
* Wheeljack: *More data coming up. Go get him Commander!*

## Trivia

* Much like Prime Suspect's chapter names this Mission's names are a reference to *The Transformers: The Movie*, this time Lion's rendition of the *Transformers* theme song.
* The title images with Wheeljack and Jetfire parody *Back to the Future.*
* This mission's dialogue snippets are pulled from various G1 episodes:
	+ From the "More Than Meets the Eye" pilot: Megatron, Mirage, Bumblebee.
	+ From "S.O.S. Dinobots": Starscream.
	+ From "Fire in the Sky": Optimus Prime.
	+ From "The Ultimate Doom" three-parter: Shockwave.
	+ From the movie: Grimlock, Galvatron.
	+ From "The Killing Jar": Cyclonus.
