01x08 - Nanosec

[bunniefuu]

Attention, citizen! By authority
of the Detroit

automated Police Department,
I order you to freeze!

I got your "freeze" right here!

Suspect out of range.
Searching...

Man, these bots are dumb.

Suspect sighted.
Resuming pursuit.

Resuming pursuit.
Resuming pursuit.

Nice. Some people are as dumb
as that walking refrigerator.

Huh?
- If I were you,

I'd watch who you're calling
a walking refrigerator.

But since
I'm in such a good mood,

I'll give you a running start.

Too slow!

Denied!

Quit showing off, Bumblebee.
I'm trying to watch the fireworks!

Cool your circuits, Bulkhead.
I was just having some fun!

You mean the kind of fun

that usually ends with a speeding ticket
and a chewing out from Prime?

Who went offline
and made you big bot?

You mind? We're talking here!

Uh-oh.

I'm kinda new to this planet.

But I believe you're supposed to
pay for those things

before you run off with them.

I could've told you that servo
would be useless.

I'm sorry, I am still not used
to hearing you talk.

And I'm not used to
sub-standard components.

My internal mechanics
require dystronium circuitry.

Then, my friend,
we have a problem.

You see, dystronium may be plentiful
where you come from,

but so far we have only
managed to synthesize

small samples of it here on Earth.
- Unacceptable!

Couln't I just ask your Autobot friends to help?
- No!

I... do not wish them to see me
in this weakened state.

Besides, I wouldn't want to distract them
from all the good they're doing.

Feeling refreshed
after a midnight swim?

It wasn't my fault! I-I swear!

This isn't about
assigning blame, Bumblebee.

It's about using your head
instead of your thrusters.

That's what I want you to work on
with Prowl and Bulkhead today.

But I have plans with Bumblebee!

Remember that prototype
I told you my dad was building?

Turbo boosters. Sweet!

You're not actually thinking of hooking
these things up to yourself, are you?

Oh, of course not! I was gonna
ask the doc-bot to do it for me.

Have you got your processor
up your exhaust port?

These things are untested, incompatible-
- And totally wicked fast!

How fast do you think
I can go with them? ? ?

Forget it, kid. I just got through,
pounding dents out of you.

I won't let you put in more.

What? My dad's equipment
is perfectly safe!

Mr Sumdac? We have a problem with
the new turbo-blade cyber suit!

Send me the design specs and
I will try to work out the bugs.

The latest in bio-cyber
interface technology.

This suit can increase human muscle speed
and reaction time a thousandfold!

The dystronium, Sumdac.
I must have it for my robotic body.

Easier said than done, my friend.

The only sample is all the way across town,
and extremely unstable.

By the time it could be transported here,
it would be useless.

Or worse, highly expl*sive.

Unless.. you could move it
in under minutes.

But nothing is that fast.

Nino Sexton, your bail has been posted.
You are free to go.

I don't know anyone with
that kind of scratch. Who paid?

I have no information
at this time.

Nino Sexton?
- Who wants to know?

This is from a friend.

Slow it down, Bumblebee.
And don't call attention to yourself.

Two commands that just
aren't in my programming, Prowl.

The point of this exercise is to
blend into your environment.

Oh right, 'cause nothing says "blend"
like a motorcycle driving itself.

Happy?

Besides, why hide,
when you can accelerate?

What if you can't accelerate?

What do you think you're doing?

What's it look like? I'm blending.

Hey, where's my money?
- It just disappeared! In a nanosec!

"Nanosec"? I like that name.

Good heavens, the police.
However shall I elude them?

You again?
- You again?

Definitely lose the suit,
it makes you look years older.

That is fast?

Why they gotta make
this stuff super heavy?

Huh?

Word of advice: super speed
doesn't equal super strength.

Stay...
- I don't do "stay".

Step aside, ninja bot.
This calls for speed! Not stealth.

I'm the fastest thing on wheels!

And no too big crook's
gonna take that away from me.

Bumblebee! Remember Prime's orders,
use your head, not your thrusters!

I can make it.
I can make it.

I'm not gonna make it!

I'm not gonna make it!

I'm not scrap metal?

What're you waiting for?
I can't hold this thing forever!

I think I lost them. If I ever see
another giant robot, it'll be too soon.

I see from the news reports
that you have made

a successful field test
with my.. gift.

What the..?
Who said that?

The strobing frequency can only
be perceived at ultra high speeds.

If you received this message,
I need you to transport a package for me.

I ain't nobody's errand boy!

Unless the price is right.

Enter this code into
any bank machine,

and you shall receive
your down payment.

That's what I'm
talking about, oh yeah!

I'll take that as your
acceptance of the job.

Here is all the information
you'll require.

Deliver the package within minutes
of its removal from the lab

and you will receive
the bulk of your payment.

How'd I do?

Same as last time?

Same as the last times.

Well then let's clock it
one more time. I gotta b*at my record.

Give it a rest, kid,
you're wasting energon.

Easiest mil I ever made.
minutes and counting.

You don't understand, doc-bot.

If I was just a little faster,
I would've caught him!

So how about giving me that
turbo booster upgrade now?

Huh, doc, what do you say?

Not even if Megatron himself
force me at blaster point!

Nanosec just robbed a research lab.
He was spotted heading east on I- .

Let's put the brakes
on this speeder before he...

or anyone else,
causes any more damage.

Transform and roll out!

Like I've even got a chance
of catching him.

You know, there might be another way
to get that turbo booster upgrade.

But... Prime's orders.
- Were to catch Nanosec.

He didn't say how.

What is this stuff?
Are you nuts?

Negative friction lubricant.

And technically, I'm nuts, bolts,
and armored plating.

With a few added features.

I got a few features of my own.

Autobots! I need backup.

Ready to try it out?
- Let's motor.

You rock!
- No, you rock!

No, you rock!
- No, you rock!

I said you rock!
- I said you rock!

You rock!
- You rock!

I could do this all day,
but I got a schedule to keep.

You seem to have a problem

with taking things
that don't belong to you.

Care to tell me
where you got the suit?

You want speed? I'll show you speed!
- Bumblebee, no!

Can't you stop those things?
- Can't you stop those things?

Later, late bots!

Sari! Do something! Use your key!
Shut those things off!

I'm trying! I'm trying!

Bumblebee! Turn off your boosters!

I can't!

If you don't stop, you're gonna
drag him over with us!

Maybe, I should try reverse!

Sorry!
- Sorry!

Now, what?

Too bad those wheels
are attached to metal.

Well, well, well.
What do we got here?

Don't touch it!

That's unstable dystronium!

Moving at high speed
makes it incredibly volatile.

If it were to detonate,
it could wipe out half of Detroit.

Didn't you use to be a redhead?

Huh?

That's two I owe you,
lemon head!

Alright! I admit it, the
turbo boosters were a bad idea!

I can't control my vehicle mode!

So why don't you try
robot mode?

Oh...

Why didn't we think of that?

Ratchet! I suggest you
disable those boosters, now!

No time, we need
to stop Nanosec

before he blows us
all the way back to Cybertron!

Right, transform and roll out!

In your original, vehicle mode!

Listen up! We need to approach
with extreme caution.

He's carrying unstable dystronium.

Dystronium?

Why would a small time crook
wanna steal dystronium?

You think that's what
turned his hair white?

White hair in organics
is usually a function of age.

Age... that's it!

Bumblebee, what're you doing?

Using my head,
and my thrusters!

You're slowing down, old man,
and now you're going down!

Hey, come back
with my payday!

You want this thing so bad?
Come and get it!

What's the matter, old timer?
Running out of gas?

What happened to him?

That suit didn't just make him
look older, it made him turn older.

The more he used it,
the faster his body age.

Until he finally ran out of time.

That stuff's gonna blow
and take us all with it

in about nano clicks!

I can move it someplace safe, fast!

At this point, the only safe place
would be the upper atmosphere!

Bumblebee, your turbo mode is fast.
But it can't fly.

Maybe it can.
With a little help.

Ready for lift off?
- Ready for lift off!

Just hope these turbo boosters
work as well in robot mode!

He's not gonna make it!

Ratchet! We need to slow him down
and cool him down, stat!

You alright, buddy?

Phew! What a ride.

It was double duty heroics
for the Autobots today.

Not only stopping the super speed
thief known as Nanosec,

but also averting a near catastrophe of...
- How do you suppose

this Nanosec fellow got hold of
my experimental turbo suit?

I suspect it was an inside job.

Looks like you found a good use
for those turbo boosters, after all.

Looks like you've got a few new dents
to pound out of me after all, too.

Nice work, Autobots.

Now let's transform...
and roll on home.

Race you back to the plant?

If it's all the same to you,
I think we'll walk.
