"Arcee, a vehicular form is approaching." "Decepticon?" "[ Beeping ]" "[ Sighs ] Mom." "Again?" "She worries." "[ Tires screech ]" "[ Engine shuts off ]" "Hi, honey." "Hey." "Hey, uh..." "Finished my shift early at the hospital, so I thought I'd swing by." "Good to see you again, doctor." "Arcee." "So, where's Optimus?" "On a scouting mission with Bumblebee." "Sorry to disappoint." "And I wore heels and everything." "Mom!" "That's odd." "This is an extremely unusual magnetic flux for any planet." "I recognize this magnetic signature, soundwave." "And it would be unfortunate to have a Decepticon invention such as this used against us." "I will secure the weapon, lord Megatron." "Breakdown?" "Hah." "If you can be bested my mere humans, what chance do you have against the Autobots?" "Allow me to redeem myself, master." "What I have lost is a constant reminder that I must never again fail you." "[ Laughs ]" "Did you feel the G's on that last turn?" "Bulkhead's an animal!" "[ Gasps ]" "Remember when this used to be a secret clubhouse?" "Uh, don't worry, Ms. Darby." "We were wearing seatbelts." "I'm sure you were, Rafael." "Hi, Miko." "How's school going?" "Why?" "What'd you hear?" "Let's do this thing, Jack." "But I just got here." "I brought sandwiches." "Mom!" "[ Sighs ]" "I really need to help Arcee test her upgraded tracking system." "Well, just be careful." "There's nothing to be careful about." "It's a routine diagnostic." "Are you sure you need Jack for that?" "[ Groans ] Uh-oh." "Bulkhead, I need you back in the field to investigate an odd magnetic disturbance." "Miko:" "I'll go with!" "Whoa." "Stay put, Miko." "[ Groans ]" "Why aren't you going with him?" "Someone thinks it's not safe." "But it's safe for Jack to go with Arcee?" "Mom, totally different." "Oh." "How?" "Arcee:" "Mother knows best, Jack." "Wait up, Bulkhead." "I'm going with." "Wh... ah!" "[ Sighs ]" "What'd I say?" "Jackpot." "[ Whirs ]" "[ Whirring ]" "[ Rocks rumble ]" "[ Laughs ]" "For me?" "You shouldn't have." "I didn't." "Unh!" "[ Hisses ]" "I heard a rumor about a rogue 'con." "How about I hog-tie you and haul you in?" "Huh." "The primitive type." "Raaah!" "Not much for depth perception anymore, are you?" "Well, not much for looks anymore." "Raaah!" "[ Whirring ]" "Raah!" "[ Rumbling ]" "[ Laughs ]" "It was a lovely burial." "[ Muffled grunting ]" "Sorry." "Can't quite understand you." "Raaah!" "Raaah!" "Don't take it so personal, Arcee." "Jack's mother's just...protective." "Well, I protected her son for months before she had a clue." "Suddenly she wakes up to reality, and I'm not enough." "Miko:" "No kidding." "Can't we ban her from the base?" "Miko, how did you..." "Gonna need a bridge." "Wait, don't send me back to helicopter mom." "It's just..." "I miss the way things were." "Strike that, Ratchet." "It's only recon." "She's safe with us." "Sweet!" "Crank up track seven, Bulk." "Track seven?" "[ Hard rock music plays ]" "Don't you think that's a little loud for recon?" "[ Music stops ]" "Aww." "A Scout should be silent, but deadly." "[ Both snicker ]" "What?" ""Silent, but deadly"" "means something completely different on earth." "Bulk, let's get our recon on." "I always take point." "I know, but Miko likes to be up front so she can see." "No matter where I turn, I'm the third wheel." "Hmm." "Looks like Ratchet's magnetic flux is coming from..." "[ Grunting ]" "Airachnid." "And Breakdown." "Both your archenemies, and they're mashing it up." "Over that." "The source of the magnetic disturbance." "All right." "What's the plan?" "Miko, don't move." "I mean it." "Aww!" "[ Laughs ]" "Arcee." "And look..." "You brought a new partner for me to snuff." "That would be Bulkhead." "Who asked you?" "Launch me." "Raaaah!" "No, she's mine." "Watch out for..." "Got it." "Whoa!" "They're really good together." "[ Sighs ] Smackdown for the scrapbook." "Raaah!" "[ Groans ]" "[ Groans ]" "Thank you." "Do you even know what that does?" "It isn't a toy!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "[ Groans ]" "[ Groans ] What is going..." "[ Laughs ] What's this switch do?" "Hmph. [ Laughs ] Megatron's gonna love this." "[ Engine revs ]" "Bulkhead!" "[ Groans ]" "The 'cons are getting away!" "Hey!" "My phone!" "[ Grunting ] It's stuck!" "Where's Arcee?" "[ Groans ] Why don't you just marry her?" "Arcee:" "I'm right behind you." "Where?" "Let's just say she's got your back." "Uh, uh, uh..." "[ Groaning ]" "Scrap!" "Breakdown here." "I'm gonna need a..." "[ Tires screech ]" "[ Grunting ]" "[ Grunting ]" "Ratchet:" "You've been magnetized...together?" "[ Grunts ] They're inseparable." "[ Sighs ]" "And the device that did this is on its way to Megatron." "A polarity gauntlet..." "A deceptively simple but diabolical creation." "Arcee:" "Just tell me you can unhitch us, Ratchet." "It may simply be a residual magnetic charge providing your current...attraction." "Miko:" "They're not attracted to each other!" "But I'm afraid retrieving the gauntlet is our surest bet for reversing its effect." "Once Megatron gets his hands on the gauntlet..." "He'll use it for a whole lot more than attaching notes and family photos to the fridge." "Jack, I'm not following." "Madam, we are forged of metal alloy." "If Megatron could repel us with the flick of a switch, we might never again have another shot at him." "Instant force field." "Worse yet, he might use it to meld us all into a scrap pile." "The good news is, the gauntlet hasn't traveled far." "I would strongly advise pursuit." "We can catch up faster on wheels." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "And snap me in half?" "Right." "Sweet!" "I'll take point." "Not this time, kid." "What?" "But you said..." "That was recon." "This is war." "I'm not risking your well-being just so you can hit your daily adrenaline quota." "Ratchet, Miko needs a bridge." "Coming up." "[ Groans ]" "You think Jack's mom is bad?" "You sound just like her!" "Is that such a bad thing?" "Wh... uh... [ sighs ] I'm gonna go over here." "[ Bird screeches ]" "Airachnid:" "It fits!" "You know, a girl can never have too many accessories." "You were a Decepticon once." "We can bring the prize to Megatron together." "Go back to that boys club?" "I struck out on my own because I don't like to share." "This will provide the perfect repellent against bots and 'cons alike." "Never had eyes in the back of my head before or blasters to cover my rear, and you get a built-in shield." "Bulkhead, you don't really think I sound like June, do you?" "Um..." "She's over-protective." "I'm just..." "Protective." "Totally different." "[ Beeping ]" "The gauntlet's close." "[ Breakdown grunting ]" "I assume Arcee isn't far behind." "You might say that." "Blaster hands in the air and turn around." "Whatever you say." "[ Grunting ]" "[ Grunting ]" "Still up for a truce, muscles?" "Only because I hate Bulkhead more than I hate you." "Raaaah!" "What?" "Bulkhead, would you stay still?" "My bad." "Whoa." "Need a hand?" "No, she's mine." "Two bots." "One stone." "Bulk, duck!" "[ Groans ]" "[ Groans ]" "[ Gasping ]" "Bulkhead, get...up!" "Pinned like a bug." "Of course, I can think of one permanent way out of your predicament." "Of course, I can think of one permanent way out of your predicament." "[ Grunting ]" "I'll take topside." "Hah!" "I'm free." "Want to dance?" "You're not my type." "[ Grinding ]" "Scrap!" "Let's leave the boys to themselves." "That would be the "up close and personal" setting." "[ Both grunting ]" "One hand tied, five more to play with." "Quality, not quantity." "[ Grunts ]" "[ Growls ]" "Opposites do not attract." "Raaah!" "We can't touch metal." "We're polarized." "Unh!" "Always leave on a high note." "Bulkhead, the gauntlet!" "Bulkhead:" "Let's finish this." "And risk becoming twins again?" "Souvenir, but..." "We don't advise indoor use." "Ew!" "They even finish each other's sentences." "Miko, check it out." "New battle scars." "[ Shutter clicks ]" "Arcee!" "Hey!" "Let the adults talk." "Arcee, I think I owe you an apology." "You do?" "I worry, especially when I feel like I can't control things, which, with a teenager, is all the time." "Jack and I have always been close, especially after his dad left, and I guess it's just..." "Hard to accept that all that's changing." "I mean, I knew it would someday, but you're not quite the type of girl" "I thought Jack would be ditching me for." "I think we've all been a little guilty of staying attached to the way things were." "Breakdown, you dare to return empty-handed?" "!" "No, master." "Airachnid." "It has been some time." "Lord Megatron, what can I say?" "It's good to be back."
