01x14 - Nature Calls

[bunniefuu]

transformers

somebody there

um

it's as though

humans are forever at w*r with nature

beauty literally falls from the sky and

they immediately rush to spoil it with

their machines

they won't rest until all of nature's

beauty is have you even heard a word i

said

jump

jump

yes

bumblebee

is your commitment to all these

electronic devices really necessary i

hate to break it to you proud

but you are one of these electronic

devices

hey what'd you do that for

i was on level 230. autobots listen up

teletrain once picking up a strange

cybertronian energy signal coming from

the woods just outside the city

decepticon no it's a non-sentient being

most likely a piece of our ship but i

need someone to track it down and bring

it back to the base before it falls into

the wrong hands

so

i mean as your resident earth expert i

should go along to supervise and help

explain the complexities of nature

well i don't suppose there's any harm in

you going sorry

we are going camping we are going

camping we are going

as in leaving the comfort of

civilization is it no tv no music no

games and then my circuits are gonna fly

from boredom

don't worry bumblebee camping is fun

i'll show you guys the ropes

actually you both could stand to unplug

yourselves for a day or two think of it

as a character builder

you sure you know how to use all this

stuff

what's to know we roast marshmallows

tell ghost stories sing campfire songs

there's more to nature than these odd

human customs and mellow marshes

the roof is so great why don't they pave

the road so people can actually see it

we'll proceed on foot from here

yeah at least i can get this junk out of

me i was feeling kind of bloated

what

you said to pack the bare essentials

since when our surround sound speakers a

strobe light and a handheld media player

bear essentials you should have seen

what i left back at the plant where did

you even find room for all of this junk

i'd

rather not say

ow

nuts and bolts to this

so where do they hide the outlets

for the hundredth time there is no

electricity in the woods fire is what

provides warmth and light

it's also nature's way of cleansing

chainsaws and pavement are much more

effective

now let me borrow your battery for a few

hours

wow

i could use some of that cleansing fire

right now these marshmallows aren't

gonna roast themselves

sorry huh

have you ever actually been camping well

of course i've

seen it

in a movie

maybe

uh-huh

see i don't need to learn any of this

survival stuff i've got you guys to back

me up

you must learn to survive without the

aid of machines

you never know when you won't have them

so want to hear a ghost story

here ghost story i just found batteries

for my media player which one do you

want to watch you don't even have a

screen to project it onto

way ahead of you nature boy

what was hello

monster

ouch

relax bumblebee

what

i've seen enough creature features to

know that every poor sap who gets

suckered into some lame camping trip

winds up getting chased down by a

monster

they're called bears and they're hardly

monsters

i didn't know bears had shovels for

hands i guess i did learn something

camping

first we must determine this creature's

intentions

sorry look out

me

why don't you pick on someone your own

size

okay maybe we're a little unclear on the

concept of your own size

maybe you should stop talking logic to a

creature that has no

the head appears to be made of metal

wrapped in living organisms

i think it might be from cybertron what

makes you say that

call it a hunch

so much for that piece of our spaceship

theory how do we stop it just like any

other opponent search for its weakness

still searching i take it

we just need to formulate a plan

how's this floor plan one

hello

i think we've lost

it what did i tell you about camping

monsters

tv is always right

so wait monsters are real twitter body's

such a liar

it's not a monster you said yourself

it's cybertronian

you got anything that ugly back on

cybertron

yeah but bulkhead's back at the plant

let's focus please

and stick to the facts we know it's made

of non-sentient metal coupled with

living organisms and gives off a

cybertronian energy signal

space barnacles barnacles you mean those

gross things that attach to boats

only when space barnacles attach to a

ship they drain its energy and act like

a computer virus

they must have picked up residual

cybertronian energy before we crashed on

earth

that would explain the signal prime was

picking up

so why not just burn them off like we

used to do with the barnacles on our

ship these seem more powerful they

weren't draining energy from those

construction machines

they were controlling them something on

earth must have mutated them

probably all this fresh air given the

bright lights big city

and they could end up taking over every

machine in detroit or have you forgotten

how quickly space barnacles can multiply

so

we have to go back and find that thing

oh great just when we got done running

away from it

what is this place

i think it's one of my dad's mining

sites he's always got people digging

here who knows what he's looking for

my key is picking up a signal

must be residual energy the creature has

clearly been here i think it went inside

for dessert

just be careful

and whatever you do don't let the

barnacles touch you or you'll be dessert

too

stay back

attention barnacle monster

come out with your hands over here

well you don't have a head but you get

the idea

do you mind

what i'm just trying to break the

tension

do you mind that wasn't me

we need to find another way out

looks like all those hours playing

medieval maze monsters are about to pay

off

the sun rises in the east so the maze

never starts sideways

they always make two rides

but skip every other turn and that

should take us right back where we

started

let's turn up the heat on these

barnacles

uh

this sure beats roasting swamp melos

that's marshmallows

one order of fried space barnacles

coming up

make that poached space barnacles

look where nature got you

barnacles

luckily we can depend on good old mother

technology right pal

run

don't worry sorry if anyone can fight

the control of those space barnacles

it's proud

come on proud you're not gonna let a

bunch of wimpy little space barnacles

control you are you

maybe the key will heal them

or maybe the key will get infected with

space barnacles too

we need to do like he said and run

or better yet dryer

quick

bad idea

okay we just have to go back to town and

get prime and ratchet they'll know how

to fix prowl

and the best part

we finally get out of this stupid nature

but won't prowl follow us and spread

space barnacles all over detroit

it's not fair why do you have to be so

right all the time

we need to go back to the mine

which way is that

i don't know don't you have some kind of

navigation drive yeah

for roads

sorry

your tire tracks

so i messed up the pretty white woods

you sound just like brow

no we can follow them back to the mine

and lure prowl into it then we'll see

him inside

right then we can go get the others and

finally get out of this nightmare

boy come and get some nice tasty

autobots

hey

what's up are you on here

he's following us isn't he

those barnacles must have drained all

your ninjabot smarts because you fell

right into our trap

uh bumblebee i think you're supposed to

do that from the outside

what

remember that plan you had before you

mean the one that goes

we need to burn off those barnacles

look for a tree i can light on fire with

my stingers bumblebee trees don't grow

underground we're in the middle of a

mine

correction we're at the end of a mine

this bot is not gonna be a barnacle's

breakfast

i really hope he doesn't remember that

when he turns back to normal

there must be something we can use to

burn those barnacles off him

yes

fire space parasites

water i thought this thing said fire

hose

oh

right

fire hose

that's it

we hook up the hose to the hot water

line if i can boost this things power

with my key it'll heat the water enough

to scorch those bugs off prowl

come on

light up you stupid

bumblebee zap this

think of it as a character builder

thanks a lot guys

what you can bring in autobot back to

life but you can't light a fire

stupid key

ah

kids

why are you all wet

and then they were back to normal like

nothing ever happened meanwhile i'm

stuck riding home with no dry clothes

and an autobot whose car mode doesn't

have a heater

you showed a lot of courage and

ingenuity sorry

and hopefully you'll stop

backfiring soon hello it's called

sneezing

i don't even want to know what that's

called we owe you a tremendous debt of

gratitude can you owe me a new media

player or did you think i forgot

oh have you learned nothing from your

time in the woods yeah i learned we

should pave it over as soon as we get

the chance

surely you don't blame all of nature for

a few space barnacles you don't see my

game player turning everyone into

zombies do you

actually guys that creature was made of

barnacles and bolts just like our team

is made of humans and robots

nature and technology working together

you still owe me a new media player

finally the source of the energy signal

how could this have escaped my detection

for so many years

make megatron will be so surprised

hello
