Transformers: Armada

Episode 27: Detection

Narrator: "The war between the Autobots and the Decepticons rages on, as they struggle to retrieve the prized Mini-Cons. There are new and more powerful Mini-Cons surfacing every day. If the Decepticons prove victorious, then Megatron, and his enslaved Mini-Cons will control the universe. The Earth's only chance for a peaceful cosmos is for Optimus Prime and the Autobots to destroy their enemy, and free all Mini-Cons. Now, get ready for a new battle."

Smokescreen: "You don't stand a chance against me, Jetfire."

Jetfire: "Oh yeah? Bring it on, Smokey!"

Smokescreen: "Okay, but remember, you asked for it."

Jetfire: "I'm ready when you are."

Smokescreen: "I'm gonna enjoy this."

Jetfire: "You're all talk, let's see some action!"

Smokescreen: "In my rulebook, the loser always goes first!"

Jetfire: "Same in mine, so how come you're not following?"

Alexis: "Come on, Smokescreen! Do it, Jetfire! Go for it!"

Carlos: "Hey, Alexis, how come you're cheering for both of them?"

Alexis: "Because, Carlos, I want them both to win."

Carlos: "Yeah, right, sure. I just don't understand girls."

Hot Shot: "Yeah! That's it! Ya got him now, Smokescreen!"

Trimus looked and watched. He knew all of this was a waste of time. He looked up at the skies. He still thought about what Ember said to him yesterday with her text message. And he knew she was right. It was time to step up the protection.

Smokescreen looked at everyone.

Smokescreen: "Well, what are the chances of that happening, you beat me again. I think my arm must've fallen asleep, so a lucky break for you this time, Jetfire."

Hot Shot: "Nice try, Smokescreen, but that makes it your third loss in a row."

Jetfire: "He just can't admit being inferior to me, that's all."

Carlos: "Lucky he doesn't have an ego."

Rad: "Yeah."

Alexis: "Right."

Alexis's Pov:

"It seems, ever since Jetfire showed up on Earth, the mood around the Autobots' base has really come alive. Everyone is so full of energy, and ready to go into battle against the Decepticons. Now it's only a matter of time before they have to put it to the test. Something I'm not looking forward to."

Non-Pov:

Thrust: "I must admit, Megatron, that my battle plans have fallen. How should I put it a little short? But it gave me a chance to assess our fighting power and I've made a few adjustments for our next encounter."

Megatron: "Hmmm..."

Thrust: "Simply put, the Autobots do not match our superior assault, defense and strategic abilities. There is however one area that our enemy does seem to have a slight advantage in. How should I put this..."

Megatron: "Yes, what? Well, come on, spit it out."

Thrust: "Promise you won't get angry at me?"

Megatron: "I do not like games. Now out with it."

Thrust: "They know how to work as a team."

Megatron: "Bah! Are you implying that we are disorganized, Thrust? Don't you dare insult my ability as supreme leader of the Decepticons unless you are willing to back it up with your life! My men are far superior to every single Autobot ever created."
