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.
