RODIMUS PRIME Autobots, let's get out'o here! {They manage to get away in the ship, just as it is hit by a piece of Quintessa} RODIMUS PRIME Skramble! SILVERBOLT There's no time! SPRINGER You figured a way out of this, or are we in big trouble? KUP We're in big trouble. RODIMUS PRIME Relax, enjoy the ride. {A/D; near the warpgate.} SCOURGE And to make matters worse, the Autobots and the humans have build a space platform to act as a first line of defense for Earth. GALVATRON A space platform for humans? Hmhmhahaha. This I must see. CYCLONUS Sweeps, this way! SWEEP 1 I think that plasma bath fried Galvatron's circuits. SCOURGE It's not your place to think. Where he leads, all Decepticons must follow. GALVATRON Through the warpgate. {D/A; The Autobots are hurtling through space, near Goo #8739b.} ULTRA MAGNUS I've computed our trajectory. We're due to impact with an object two hundred thousand kilometers away. SPRINGER What kind of object? ULTRA MAGNUS Not enough data. It could be either a ship or...a planet. RODIMUS PRIME Well, we'll either be saved or splattered. {A/A; Earth solar system, near Juppiter} BLURR And here we are. And where's here? Earth solar system, that's where here is. where here is. Anyway, you would think we have some scenery on the way, but no! All we saw was white on black. No novas, no comets, no red dwarfs, no white giants. COMPUTER Alert! Alert! Alert! Alert! BLURR Now what? Beepbeepbeepalertalertalert, that's what. Like I don't have enough frustration to my life without beepbeepbeepalertalertalert. WHEELIE Your words infective, and your ship defective. BLURR First of all, it's not my ship, and second of all, the chances of it being defective are one on three trillion six hundred and seventy-seven, and that's a fact. WHEELIE And the chances that Galvatron still lives? BLURR Less. Muchmuchmuchmuch less. WHEELIE Hmhm, screen shows traces of vanished faces. BLURR Earth Defense Base, this is Autobot Blurr of Cybertron. We've got a malfunction here. We just put on the dullest trip of our lives, and now we hear beepbeepbeepalertalertalert, like, who needs that noise? I mean... BASE COMMAND. Slow down, pal, and listen clear. Our sensors showed something coming throught the warp gate up beyond Pluto. If it's hostile, we can't guarantee your safety. Make a break for Earth and we'll do our best to cover you. WHEELIE Hmhmhm, humans are fools to trust their tools. BLURR Galvatron? Galvatron?? Why didn't you tell me, why didn't you say you saw Galva_ WHEELIE Why do you fear; can the dead be here? {Galvatron shoots} Urh, can they? GALVATRON Now, Sweeps, strike a blow for the honour of all Decepticons! {The Decepticons destroy theplatform} TR. SULLIVAN {Using communicator} Trooper Sullivan to Earth Command: Decepticon alert! Outpost One has been destroyed. GALVATRON Now for some sport. We seem to have missed something. An Autobot shuttle, no less. _I_want_it!_ BLURR Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter. Yes, that's it, that's it, Jupiter! Maybe we can lose them around Jupiter. WHEELIE Whaat? BLURR The planet Jupiter. The giant gas planet up ahead. You know, you know, you know. You know the one I mean, don't you, don't you? WHEELIE Planet I know, but Decepticons follow. BLURR Tell me something I don't know. That's why we have to move fast fast fast, 'cos if we don't get away, we're doomed, and I don't know about you, but I don't wanna be doomed, especially at the hands of Galvatron. He's one mean guy. You know what I mean, huh huh huh? GALVATRON After them, Sweeps! Bring me their heads as souvenirs! {D/A; Autobot City.} BLASTER Good morning, good morning. {Alert goes off} Ohoh, we got a warning. Bad morning, bad morning. Autobots, to your stations, on the double. This is Blaster here at Metroplex, calling you stars on Mars. MARISSA Blaster, this is E.D.C. captain Marissa Fairborne. I'm tracking an Autobot shuttle with several Decepticon fighters in pursuit. BLASTER That's priority one with a bullet. Intercede with all due speed. MARISSA On my way! {D/A; between Juppiter and Io.} WHEELIE Tin can about to crush, Wheelie's gonna have to dash! {Ejects with cog} BLURR Wait, Wheelie! Ow, you never listen, do you? {Ejects} GALVATRON Now, Autobots, your journey ends. WHEELIE I told you! BLURR Fine. Now tell me: how are we supposed to get to Earth without a ship, and, how we're supposed to survive _that!_ {Points at storm on Jupiter} ************************ *** *** *** commercial block *** *** *** ************************ CYCLONUS Bravo, Galvatron; the Autobots' destruction is assured. GALVATRON Assured is not enough. I told you I want the heads, Cyclonus. {Shoots Wheelie in leg} WHEELIE Galvatron is strong, but Wheelie is mean. {Shoots Sweep in face} SWEEP 2 Aaahaaah. My guidance system is heat. Galvatron, save meeeeeeee. GALVATRON Please meet your end with dignity. I despise whiners! SWEEP 2 Nooooooooo! WHEELIE streak, Sweep creep. GALVATRON I think they underestimate my power. {Shoots into storm cone} BLURR The storm is imploding! | : Oh no oh no oh oh no. |BLURR : Nonononononononononono. |WHEELIE : Aaaw! SWEEP 3 This is blowing out my audio sensors. SWEEP 4 It's torture GALVATRON Hmhmhmha. No! No! It's music. The symphony of destruction and the anthem of agony. CYCLONUS The storm cone is going to erupt. {A/D; space.} QUINT. 2-1 How pleasant the feeling to know the Autobots and their matrix of leadership have been destroyed. QUINT. 4-? I could watch it over and over again. QUINT. 1-2 It is a day so long in coming that I am uncertain how to celebrate it. QUINT. 4-1 Perhaps...a quiet chuckle! QUINT. 1-2 Very well then. Let us...chuckle. |QUINT. 1 : Hehehehehehe |QUINT. 2,3,4 : Haha {A monitor flashes on, showing the surviving Autobots} QUINT. 1_1 It cannot be true! They live? QUINT. 2-2 They live, and come in accelerably toward Goo number eight seven three nine B. QUINT. 1 Then we have no choice. We must acquire the sheer might to wipe them out once and for all. QUINT. 4-3 But, there is only one way... QUINT. 1 Precisely. However grave the risk, we must form an alliance...with the Decepticons. {D/A; Goo; the Autobots crash on Goo.} SPRINGER Uh. Uh. Hh. I've been on some weird planets, but never anywhere like this. RODIMUS PRIME This isn't a planet. I dunno what it is. SPIKE I used to stick stuff like this under my seat at schoool. KUP Eh Eh Eh DELIBERATA*3 Death I can face, but to be robbed of my dignity, I_ KUP Well, it ain't an oil bath, but, all things considered, it could be worse. {Machine is appraching} ULTRA MAGNUS What do you suppose that is? RODIMUS PRIME I don't think it's the welcome wagon. SILVERBOLT I'll fly over and see. RODIMUS PRIME Looks like you can move through this stuff, but not of it. ULTRA MAGNUS Uoh. That could become a serious liability. ARCEE It's sweeping up the place like...some kind of janitorial system. SPRINGER Yeah, and I bet it's gonna think we're trash. {A/D; between Juppiter and IO.} GALVATRON Whuhuhahahahaha. BLURR I can't control my transformations. WHEELIE Neither can I. I feel like the humans doing sit-ups. {A/D} CYCLONUS Mighty Galvatron, where are the Autobots' heads? GALVATRON {Hits him} What does it matter? Their destruction is assured. Take me to Char! {D/A; Goo.} RODIMUS PRIME This will be the first time I've ever fired on a garbage truck, but... Fire! SPRINGER Maybe I can lift us out 'a here. {Tries to lift off} Urh. Oh. No go. {The machine turns on a sensor beam} KUP I don't like the look o'that. ULTRA MAGNUS His movin' is attracking the machine. SPRINGER You never know...it might be tryin' to help me out of this goop. RODIMUS PRIME Let's get him out of its way! ARCEE Springer, move out of its... {Springer is sucked up} A-a-ah! ************************ *** *** *** commercial block *** *** *** ************************ ARCEE A-a-ah! {Springer's parts are dropped} RODIMUS PRIME Gross! Springer... {Sensor beam is fixed on Rodimus Prime} ULTRA MAGNUS Rodimus, it's coming for you! {A/D; Char.} QUINT. 1-? The Decepticons are hungry, and thus highly susceptible to persuasion. QUINT. 1 {After exiting ship} Exercise caution. Feed them only enough to make them hungrier still. Decepticons! We come in peace. QUINT. 4-? We offer you...energon cubes. {The Decepticons, hidden} BLITZWING They wanna make a deal with us. BREAKDOWN One of us has to go out there. DEAD END Hh, what does it matter if I meet my fate now, or when my circuits fail? {Goes out} Please, make my death painless. QUINT. 2-1 We have not come to kill you. We have come to offer you a proposition. DEAD END Swindle, I-I think this is your department. SWINDLE First see if we can trust them. Taste one of the energon cubes. DEAD END {Does as he's told} Mmm, ah mm. [Decepticons rush to eat] ? Aw, let me at it. QUINT. 1 Very soon, they will be ours again. {D/A; Goo.} ARCEE Rodimus, run! KUP Forget everything I ever told you about heroism, run! {Rodimus lets himself be lift up, takes some goo, throws it into the machine, and it stops.} ULTRA MAGNUS He stopped it! KUP I've seen a lot o' brave Autobots do a lot o' brave things in my time, but nuthin' like that. RODIMUS PRIME Yeah, me neither, and I hope I never have to again. DELIBERATA This is impossible! You were never programmed for selfsacrifice. RODIMUS PRIME How would you know? And, more importantly, how're we gonna get out o' this mess? {A/D; Char} [The Decepticons are still eating] QUINT. 1-3 Are you ready to hear our proposition? QUINT. 4-? We would be willing to keep you in energon forever. MOTORMASTER Sounds to good to be true, hugh. [hickups] SWINDLE That means it probably is. Mm, what do we do for you? QUINT. 4-3 Take care of a nuisance... QUINT. 1-3 ...destroy the Autobots. ||SWINDLE C'mon, you gotta be kidding. ||MOTORMASTER We do that anyway! | [Decepticons are shouting] ONSLAUGHT Look, how do we attack them on Cybertron? Their defenses are many times stronger than we are, no matter how much energon you give us. [Decepticons are shouting in consent] QUINT. 2-2 We are not proposing an attack on Cybertron. | Yeah, you bet! |MOTORMASTER Bad idea. |[Decpticons] QUINT. 4-4 If we act quickly, we can strike when they least expect it. BLITZWING Er, they lie! They want something more. We've...met before, haven't we? I know you, or creatures like you. Mm, if only I could remember... DEAD END Look, what have we got to lose? Futility surrounds us here. [Decepticons shout in consent] MOTORMASTER I say we vote. Who votes to go along? [Almost all Decepticons shout "Jay", and such, except one:] MOTORMASTER Who votes nay? BLITZWING Nay. MOTORMASTER The 'Jays' have it! QUINT. 1-1 Then we have not a moment to spare. Board our ship. QUINT. 4-1 I told you, there was virtually no probability of their rejecting our offer. Their programs are not nearly so tainted as the Autobots'. {They leave} {D/D; Char (again).} GALVATRON This is the planet my Decepticons now inhabit? CYCLONUS As I warn you, we have fallen upon hard times. GALVATRON Soon I shall raise the Decepticons quite literally from their own ashes. CYCLONUS The day cannot arive too soon. GALVATRON Well, where are they? CYCLONUS You, er, pose an interesting question, my lord. {Blitzwing sees Galvatron in the sky.} BLITZWING Galvatron! GALVATRON Blitzwing, my comrade. BLITZWING I...thought the tales of your survival were but wishful thinking. GALVATRON No, I live. Where are the rest? BLITZWING Gone to battle the Autobots. GALVATRON Without me? Who leads them? BLITZWING Ancient creatures known as, as, er, er,... GALVATRON Who cares? I am the leader of the Decepticons, I and no other. Cyclonus, Sweeps, Blitzwing, we shall slay the usurpers, reunite the Decepticons, and raise our empire once more. Attack! {D/A; Mars and Earth.} MARISSA Fairborne to Metroplex; do you copy, Blaster? BLASTER Rochet wake ya, clear channel. Lay some video on, and gimme what you got. MARISSA Several metallic objects were whirled from the storm on Juppiter toward the Jovian moon Io. BLASTER Any chance of survivors? MARISSA I don't want to guess...I want to know! Setting course for Io. {Io.} WHEELIE Wheelie okay; Blurr, what do you say. BLURR I think I'm okay too, but exactly what does okay mean when you're stranded on an alien world? [Monsters are growling] WHEELIE Stranded we are, from home we are far. BLURR So what are you gonna do, so what am I gonna do, so what are we gonna do, huh, huh, huh; what can we do, what, what, what? WHEELIE Don't be a fool, keep your cool. We wait here and hope for the best, and if it gets dark, we'll make us a nest. [Monsters are growling] {A/A; Goo.} ULTRA MAGNUS I think we can shut off the goo in there. RODIMUS PRIME Shut it off? KUP Uh. Uh. Yeah, I know what he means if we turn off the force field that keeps it warm and gooey, it'll get brittle, and we could smash our way out. RODIMUS PRIME What was that? KUP We're being fired on. QUINT. 2-? Mark this moment well, for when the Decepticons eliminate the Autobots, they take the first step toward their own destruction as well... {CREDITS}
