Original Japanese 闇の彼方 静寂を引き裂き 地球の眠り 呼び起こすのは どいつだ? ほら目の前 邪悪な魂達 逃げ場は無い まっすぐに受け止めろ! サムワン・テルズ・ミー「弱気」や「恐れ」を消去して 僕らは意識組み替える その手を強く握り 互いの絆 信じて 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 タッチ・アンド・ゴー!

Rōmaji transliteration Yami no kanata seijaku wo hikisaki Hoshi no nemuri yobiokosu no wa Doitsu da? Hora me no mae jaaku na tamashiitachi Nigeba wa nai massugu ni uketomero! SOMEONE TELLS ME "yowaki" ya "osore" wo shōkyo shite Bokura wa ishiki kumikaeru Sono te wo tsuyoku nigiri Tagai no kizuna shinjite Tatakae! Saa All I Can Do AND ALL YOU CAN DO Habatake TRANSFORM Sono mune tsuranuku ikari wo chikara ni kae Ima ALL YOU CAN DO AND ALL YOU CAN DO Kagayake TRANSFORM Shinka no STAGE e Touch And Go!

English translation Out in the darkness, someone is rending the silence, Awakening this planet from its sleep. Who is it? Look, evil spirits are right before you! There's nowhere to run, so take 'em straight on! Someone tells me to erase my "worries" and "fear". We reconstruct our minds! Clench your fists strongly, Believe in the bonds between us, 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— Touch and go!

Notes

• This 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. Some characters with small roles within the series as a whole get lots of exposure in the video, while more prominent ones are only briefly seen, and one particularly important character is completely absent. Rather than focusing on Detroit, the intro seems to jump all over the globe, such as Ratchet, Prowl and Bumblebee in front of the Flatiron Building in New York City, Bulkhead on the Great Wall of China, Blitzwing in Egypt, Ironhide in Sydney, Lockdown fighting Prowl in Osaka, Japan, and Megatron appearing in Washington, D.C.
• Optimus Prime seems to power up with burning justice, and for some reason, a 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's relation to Elita-1, Starscream's embedded AllSpark shard, his clones, Omega Supreme's appearance, Blackarachnia's control of the Dinobots and even Longarm's betrayal, as Ratchet fights him rather than Shockwave.
