00:00 Four sets of coordinates from Alpha Trion remain encrypted.
00:05 It is logical to conclude that each corresponds to the location of one of the Omega Keys.
00:11 Scrap.
00:16 It appears identical to the one taken from me by Optimus Prime.
00:21 Pieces of a larger puzzle, perhaps.
00:26 Alpha Trion said we need all four keys to restore Cybertron, remember?
00:32 We just need to hang on to the one we have.
00:34 Find a way to get the others back from Megatron.
00:37 The final entry has been decoded.
00:40 The coordinates are forming an image.
00:45 Smoke screen?
00:48 Prime's latest recruit is the final relic of Iacon.
00:53 Iacon?
00:54 No!
00:59 Wakey, wakey.
01:11 What?
01:20 You are looking for your phase shifter, Finder's Keepers.
01:25 Enough prattling, knockout.
01:28 Hand me the final Iacon relic.
01:31 Now.
01:32 Yeah, I can't really help you.
01:35 That's the only one I was packing.
01:37 Soundwave.
01:40 You got the wrong guy, Chief.
01:47 Optimus Prime's the one who can decode the Iacon database.
01:50 Ah, but you misunderstand.
01:54 The final entry has been decoded by us.
01:58 And according to our findings, it would appear I do indeed have the right guy.
02:06 The question is, what is it that you are still packing?
02:16 Why, hidden treasure, of course.
02:20 Why, hidden treasure, of course.
02:23 Hehehe.

03:17 Smokescreen must have been taken aboard the Decepticon warship.
03:29 Tracing his signal through its shielding will be impossible.
03:34 Continue monitoring all frequencies, Ratchet.
03:37 Far more than Smokescreen's fate may be at stake.
03:41 I don't get it.
03:43 How could Smoke be an Omega Key?
03:47 Perhaps he isn't the key, but its container.
03:51 The other Iacon relics were sent to Earth in pods.
03:54 Why not this one?
03:56 When the Decepticons stormed Iacon,
03:59 it may have been too late for Alpha Trion to launch the final Omega Key into space.
04:05 At least by standard means.
04:08 So Smokescreen assumed everything went black because he was hit by Decepticons.
04:13 But Alpha Trion's the one who actually turned out the kid's lights.
04:18 It stands to reason that my mentor did not want Smokescreen to know what he was carrying in the event of capture.
04:27 And with the mobile relic, Alpha Trion couldn't possibly supply fixed coordinates.
04:32 So the Big A slipped us a clue instead.
04:36 Smoke's mugshot.
04:38 The Decepticons got to Smokescreen first.
04:41 I fear they have decoded the same clue.
04:45 Yet another of these identical relics?
04:55 Remove it swiftly.
04:57 With pleasure.
04:59 I do so resent a finish flashier than my own.
05:05 [Motorcycle engine]
05:14 Ha! Made you squirm.
05:17 [Metal clanging]
05:24 Trippy.
05:27 And intuitive.
05:32 Proper grounding ensures that its user won't phase through the floor.
05:37 I said swiftly!
05:40 Get your stinking hand out of my gears!
05:47 And... gotcha!
05:52 [Grunts]
05:57 Tell me the function of these relics.
06:06 Door stops, shavers, bling. Beats me.
06:10 Hm. A pity this little gadget won't allow me to just reach into his brain pan and pluck out the info.
06:18 Fortunately, we possess a device that can.
06:24 Individually, each of these so-called Omega Keys is useless.
06:30 Yet, possessing even a single one grants me tremendous negotiating power with either Autobots or Decepticons.
06:42 Still, imagine if I managed to acquire the other three.
07:08 I could revive Cybertron and seize the throne as Starscream the First, Supreme Overlord, and Emperor of Destruction.
07:21 [Laughs]
07:25 But unlike Megatron, I lack the necessary infrastructure to enforce such a reign.
07:33 No warship, no army.
07:36 Only my meager laboratory finds.
07:40 A ground-bridge remote control, a single remaining dose of red energon, and you, old friend.
07:49 But I would all too gladly trade this simply to be restored to my former glory.
08:02 While I am unfamiliar with the lore of these Omega Keys, Alpha Trion knew many secrets.
08:10 And the Ancients possessed technology that has long been lost to what we consider modern science.
08:18 Whatever their function, this much is certain.
08:22 We cannot restore Cybertron without all four Omega Keys in our possession.
08:31 The future of our homeworld depends on it.
08:35 That's a wrap.
08:58 The power to remake Cybertron as I see fit.
09:03 I will pry the other two keys from Optimus Prime's lifeless fingers.
09:14 We must find the exact location of the Autobot base.
09:18 Patch in and tear apart Smokescreen's mind if you must.
09:22 Me?
09:25 Who else?
09:27 Do you think I would entrust you to see this key safely to the vault containing the other one?
09:35 Once more into the brain, Pam.
09:49 No, not again! Stay out of my head!
09:53 Now, now. You'll only make things worse for yourself.
09:58 Worse how?
10:04 [Grunts]
10:29 Well, aren't you the clever one?
10:33 This ship is miles in the sky and swarming with Decepticons.
10:42 Do you really think you can escape?
10:45 Who says I'm looking to escape?
10:49 [Grunts]
10:53 [Grunts]
10:56 [Grunts]
11:00 [Whirring]
11:03 [Whirring]
11:14 [Whirring]
11:27 [Whirring]
11:30 Think fast!
11:33 What?
11:36 [Grunts]
11:39 [Grunts]
11:51 [Whirring]
11:54 Well, this isn't the way out.
12:08 [Whirring]
12:12 [Whirring]
12:15 [Thud]
12:43 The keys!
12:46 A pity you are incapable of flight.
13:01 Heh. Like I'm gonna let that stop me.
13:06 [Whirring]
13:32 Smoke screen signal. It's back online.
13:35 The kid escaped the warship.
13:38 Smoke screen to base. I could really use a ground bridge.
13:43 Retrieve the Omega keys. Quickly!
13:50 [Screams]
14:00 Flyers. I need flyers!
14:04 Setting coordinates.
14:11 Strange.
14:13 What's the problem?
14:15 Smoke screen's telemetry data doesn't make sense.
14:18 I can't lock onto his position.
14:22 [Whirring]
14:25 I've isolated the problem.
14:43 Smoke screen is in free fall.
14:47 Smoke screen, I'm opening a ground bridge directly below you.
14:52 Brace yourselves. I'm gonna make an entrance.
15:00 [Screams]
15:04 He's... off course.
15:08 You missed?
15:10 Open another one. Fast!
15:16 I hope proper grounding on this thing doesn't apply to actual ground.
15:21 [Screams]
15:33 [Screams]
15:44 [Beeping]
15:47 No.
15:49 Scour the wreckage.
16:00 I want those keys.
16:04 Hey, Ratchet.
16:12 I could still really use that ground bridge.
16:16 Did I tell you?
16:20 Destiny. Alpha Trion knew I'd keep it safe.
16:26 Nice work, kid.
16:31 It was the only key in Megatron's vault.
16:38 That and three keys are accounted for.
16:42 And the fourth is still somewhere on the Khan's warship.
16:46 Unless... Megatron never had it to begin with?
16:50 A high frequency signal.
16:56 With an embedded message.
16:59 Starscream.
17:02 I have obtained something of interest to you which seems to be of no practical use to me.
17:09 It's gotta be the Omega Key.
17:11 He's the one who blindsided me.
17:13 What else could Scream be referring to?
17:15 Yep, yep. There's more.
17:18 Bring medical kit.
17:20 I only ask for the surgical replacement of my T-cog in return.
17:26 Ha! Like we're gonna give Scream back his wings.
17:30 Without the missing key, Cybertron will remain devoid of life.
17:36 Broken record, I know, but... it could be a trick.
17:40 It is possible that Starscream does not yet realize the significance of what he holds.
17:47 And we do know that he has been incapable of flight for some time.
17:52 The stakes are too great for us not to consider Starscream's proposal.
17:58 However, we will take precautions.
18:02 There!
18:27 Starscream?
18:29 Show us the Omega Key.
18:32 Give it up, Scream.
18:44 We're too late.
18:50 The T-cog won't help him now.
18:54 It would seem I have the run of the place.
18:57 [T-cogs firing]
19:00 It would seem I have the run of the place.
19:20 [T-cogs firing]
19:22 Oh, how easy it would be to got you.
19:46 [T-cogs firing]
19:49 To got all of you.
19:57 But... first things first.
20:03 Where does Optimus keep his key ring?
20:08 Not here!
20:12 Nope!
20:14 No!
20:15 I was wondering what happened to that wretch.
20:23 Do they think I have all day?
20:28 Ah, there you are.
20:33 Curious.
20:42 Starscream has been deceased for quite some time.
20:46 Well, how's that possible if he just sent us a message?
20:50 We have been deceived.
20:53 Whoa, whoa, look out!
21:07 [T-cogs firing]
21:10 I see. Close the ground bridge now.
21:36 Now that I have your trinkets,
21:39 I'm free to enjoy slitting your...
21:42 But, as I appear to be pressed for time...
21:52 [T-cogs firing]
22:16 Autobots...
22:21 Maintain police...
22:29 I'm sorry, what was that?
22:34 You Autobots think you're so superior,
22:41 but do you know what you really are?
22:45 Slow!
22:47 The red energon wore off, didn't it?
22:58 He has the Omega keys!
23:01 Come on!
23:08 [T-cogs firing]
23:11 [T-cogs screaming]
23:26 We'll get him back.
23:35 The keys can be of no use to Starscream
23:38 while he scrounges in the wild like some scraplet.
23:41 There must be something that we can offer him in exchange.
23:46 The fate of Cybertron now rests in Starscream's hands.
23:52 Whatever his intention.
23:58 I beg you, my liege.
24:04 Release me from this absurd predicament!
24:07 No!
24:11 You shall serve as a constant reminder
24:14 to those who dare fail me.
24:17 I cannot allow Optimus Prime to be the one to revive Cybertron.
24:30 We will locate the Autobot base,
24:32 invade it, and retrieve the Omega keys.
24:35 Been there.
24:37 Done that.
24:40 Please pardon my unannounced visit, Lord Megatron.
24:47 But I have come bearing a peace offering.
