====Original Japanese====
闇の彼方 静寂を引き裂き<br>
地球の眠り 呼び起こすのは<br>
どいつだ?

ほら目の前 邪悪な魂達<br>
逃げ場は無い まっすぐに受け止めろ!<br>
サムワン・テルズ・ミー「弱気」や「恐れ」を消去して<br>
僕らは意識組み替える

その手を強く握り<br>
互いの絆 信じて<br>
戦え!

:さぁ オール・アィ・キャン・ドゥ
:アンド・オール・ユー・キャン・ドゥ
:羽ばたけ トランスフォーム
:その胸貫く怒りを力に変え
:今 オール・アィ・キャン・ドゥ
:アンド・オール・ユー・キャン・ドゥ
:輝け トランスフォーム

進化のステージへ<br>
タッチ・アンド・ゴー!

====Rōmaji transliteration====
Yami no kanata seijaku wo hikisaki<br>
Hoshi no nemuri yobiokosu no wa<br>
Doitsu da?

Hora me no mae jaaku na tamashiitachi<br>
Nigeba wa nai massugu ni uketomero!<br>
Someone Tells Me "yowaki" ya "osore" wo shōkyoshite<br>
Bokura wa ishiki kumikaeru

Sono te wo tsuyoku nigiri<br>
Tagai no kizuna shinjite<br>
Tatakae!

:Saa All I Can Do
:And All You Can Do
:Habatake Transform
:Sono mune tsuranuku ikari wo chikara ni kae
:Ima All I Can Do
:And All You Can Do
:Kagayake Transform

Shinka no Stage e<br>
Touch And Go!

====English translation====
Out in the darkness, someone is rending the silence<br>
Awakening this planet from its sleep<br>
Who is it?

Look, evil spirits are right before you<br>
There's nowhere to run, so take 'em straight on!<br>
Someone tells me to erase my "worries" and "fear"<br>
We reconstruct our minds

Clench your fists strongly<br>
Believe in the bonds between us<br>
And fight!

:So all I can do
:And all you can do
:Is flap your wings and transform
:Turn the anger piercing your heart into strength
:Now all I can do
:And all you can do
:Is shine and transform

To the stage of evolution<br>
Touch and go!

==Notes==
*This [[title sequence#Japanese version|title sequence]] uses completely original animation and features no recycled footage from the show.
*To say that this intro has little to do with the actual show would be an understatement. [[Ironhide (Animated)|Some]] [[Arcee (Animated)|characters]] with small roles within the series as a whole get lots of exposure in the video, while more [[Jazz (Animated)|prominent]] [[Lugnut|ones]] are only briefly seen, and [[Sari Sumdac|one]] particularly important character is completely absent. Rather than focusing on [[Detroit]], the fight scenes seem to go all over the globe, such as [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] on the Great Wall of [[China]], [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] in [[Egypt]], Ironhide in [[Australia|Sydney]], [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] fighting [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] in Osaka, [[Japan]], and [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] appearing in [[Washington, D.C.]]
*[[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] seems to power up with [[burning justice]], and for some reason, a [[Cloaked mystery villain|strange, evil character]] appears at the beginning the video.
*For those who have not seen the show, the intro spoils a '''lot''' of things, including [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]]'s relation to Elita-1, [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]]'s embedded [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] shard, [[Starscream clone (Animated)|his clones]], [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]]'s appearance, and even [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm]]'s betrayal, as [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] fights him rather than Shockwave.
