01x11 - Adventures in Bumblebee-Sitting!

[bunniefuu]

I will not be crushed under the weight of your oppression! STRONGARM: Hey!

( grunting ) My bad.

BUMBLEBEE: Split up.



( tires squeal ) Get ready to be oppressed right back into your stasis pod, Decepticon! Just come along quietly.

Heroes of the revolution never come along quietly.



( lets out a battle cry )

( grunts )

( yelps ) Uh

-oh.

Grimlock! Ugh!

( grunts )

( grunts ) I

-I won?



( groaning ) I won!

( whoops ) Quillfire was here!

( groans ) Autobots, roll up And And roll up.

Uhh.

That was Bumblebee's worst battle cry yet.

Transformers Robots in disguise Robots in disguise

( roars ) Robots in disguise Robots in disguise

( dramatic theme playing ) Laser scalpel.



( whirring ) Scopic Light.

Rotating blade.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Is Bumblebee gonna be okay?

The lieutenant will be fine.

It's just a scratch, right, Fixit?

We need to remove that quill from his posterior.

Strongarm, please assist.

This is a very d

-d Delicate procedure.

Everybot remain still.

You better remain still.



( screams )

( groans ) Whew! One inch to the left, and Bumblebee might not have I mean, the operation is a success.



( chuckling nervously ) Of course.



( dramatic theme grows mysterious) Our fugitive is named Quillfire.

An anarchist and agent of chaos.

He believes there should be no such thing as authority.

What does your computer say about the quill

-thingies?

Quillfire's quills contain powerful toxins that affect the nervous systems of those struck.

But each target is affected differently, so we can't predict how Bumblebee will respond.

Guess all we can do is wait.

Hey! I just realized While Bumblebee is incapacitated, I'm in charge! Did we decide that?

When did we decide that?

I'm supposed to take orders from you?

Maybe Quillfire has the right idea about authority.



( Bumblebee groans ) Bumblebee?

Strongarm's not in charge, is she?

I'm up to the task, sir! Of course, I'd prefer if you were 100 percent.

Uh It's It's It's a three

-winged, sparkle

-armored Shlopticon! Where?



( laughs ) Made you look! Ha

-ha! I made I made I made I made him look!

( engine roars ) Perhaps Quillfire's quill impacted Bumblebee's brain chemistry and affected the lieutenant's maturity level?

You think?



( dramatic theme playing )

( gasping ) No.

No! I'm coming for you, brave ones! Resist until I may set you free! Speaking as temporary leader, Priority one should be bringing Quillfire in.

But Bumblebee taugh me not to leave a loose string untied And the Lieutenant could hurt himself out there.

So let's secure Bumblebee, then go after Quillfire.



( sarcastically ) Genius.

Bumblebee?

Yo, Bee, where are you?



( grunts )

( Bumblebee laughs ) You got served! Ha, ha, ha! Oh, oh, and what were you served?

Oil pie! Ha! Aw, man.



( continues laughing ) That's just mean.



( gasps )

( grunts ) Young 'Bee is an evil genius!

( mellow theme playing )

(laughing ) It's fire extinguisher foam.

This isn't covered in any manuals I've read.

Just tell me you have a way to fix Lieutenant Bumblebee.

Unfortunately, according to our studies, Bumblebee will remain altered, so long as Quillfire's toxin stays active in his body.

It's kind of like when a human eats a lot of sugar.

Bumblebee will be like this till the poison runs its course?

We're all gonna have to babysit.

Sit on a child?

And this will help how?

No, "babysit" means to watch over someone who can't watch over himself.

Don't worry.

I've experienced a few sugar jolts in my day.

This'll be easy.

BUMBLEBEE: I'm the king of the clothes dryers!

( laughing ) All hail the kin! Whoa!

( crash )

( continues laughing ) I was on dryers

( laughs ) I have to say, this new Bumblebee is pretty awesome.

Uh, "easy" might have been a wee bit optimistic.

Uh, yeah, this is Bob.

Something's spooking the animals.

I haven't seen anything out of the Whoa, Okay, wait, hang on Yeah, someone's broken into the elephant pen! QUILLFIRE: Yes! I understand, you're overwhelmed by the prospect of freedom! But you can't stay in this cage out of fear!

( groans )

( elephant trumpets ) Perhaps this activates these creatures.



( all elephants trumpeting )

( screams )

( grunts ) Yes! Sound the trumpets of revolution!

( upbeat theme playing ) Lieutenant?

Why don't you come out so we can all play together?



( slosh ) Aaargh! Something's wrong with your foot.

Help me get this washtub off!

( grunts )

( grunting ) Hold still.



( laughing ) Rubber cement! Classic!

- No! You're on my foot.



- You're on my foot.



( screams, grunts )

( groans )

( laughing )

( footsteps ) Still wanna be a leader?

Ugh! I can't take 'Bee's insanity more second.

Sideswipe, see that the Lieutenant doesn't hurt himself.

No problem! We'll compare notes on advanced pranking! Ugh, I'll track down Quillfire alone.

Come on, Grimlock.

Uhm, Strongarm, how are you alone when you are with me?

You have no idea how many times I've asked myself that same question.



( suspenseful theme playing ) Hey, Sideswipe, any luck?

No, but young 'Bee is my kind of bot.



( engine revving )

( tires squeal)

( Bumblebee laughing )

( sighs ) We need to get that bot to sit still and be quiet.

Now.

That will be difficult.

Lieutenant Bumblebee currently has the energy and attitude of an Earth child even younger than Russell! Okay, so how did my babysitters get me to sit still?

Duct tape?



( TV playing )

( stilted ) Boy, this movie is fantastic!

( stilted ) I cannot stop watching it.



( gasping )

(whispering) It worked! Boo

-yah.

Russell out.



( suspenseful theme playing ) At least Quillfire's trail isn't hard to follow.



( stomach rumbles ) I need popcorn.



( Sniffles ) Decent movie.

I have to go dry my optics.

I seem to be, uh, leaking lubricant.



( people whooping on TV ) ANNOUNCER

( on TV ): We'll have more classic Western movie action on Frontier Theater after this word from Flieber Brand Lunch meat.



( singsongy ) Boring! STRONGARM

(via comm): Quillfire seems to have reached the carnival grounds, Fixit.

Roger that.

The carnival! Sweet! BOTH

( in unison ): Scrap.

BOTH

( in unison ): Scrap.

There has to be a way to get past them.

There just has to be! The party must be near, 'cause Bumblebee is here! FIXIT

( over comm ): Cadet Strongarm! Sideswipe and Russell report that Bumblebee may have left the Scrapyard.

That's confirmed, Fixit.

And please tell Sideswipe and Russell, "Nice job.

" You didn't tell me you were going Uh, to the carnival! Whoa! You think any of those police cars are Autobots like us?

I'll go ask! "Robots in disguise" Perfect! Sit on him if you have to.

Okey

-dokey.



( dramatic theme playing ) Oh, come on, let's go with her!

( Bumblebee grunts ) Wait, no, Strongarm was just kidding! No No!

(muffled) It's dark down here.



( dramatic theme playing ) STRONGARM

( through P.

A.

): Attention! False alarm! Please return to Crown City immediately! We have reports of a nefarious motorcycle g*ng making illegal left turns all over downtown!

( sirens wailing ) There's nothin' Team Leader Strongarm can't handle!

( trumpeting ) "Nothin'" might've been a wee bit optimistic!

( dramatic theme playing )

- Lieutenant!

- Are we racing?

We're trying not to get trampled! Awesome! Hey, can we race while we're doing that?

How did you get down here?



- GRIMLOCK: Comin' through!

- Aah!

( Grimlock grunting )

( gasps ) Sorry! Wicked! Elephants and dinosaurs! Thanks, Grimlock.

But how did Bumblebee get away from you?

Ever try sittin' on a bot while he transforms?

Not recommended.

A couple of the elephants ran off.

We better find and secure them before anyone gets hurt.

Oh, cool! I get to hunt for elephants! No! It's more like Cowboys and Elephants?

You can help us round up the pachyderms and put them back in their pen.



- I love cowboys!

- I know.

Can I be the cowboy that rides a dinosaur?



- No.



- Sure.

Giddyap! Whoo! Come on, Dinobot! Hyah! Hyah! Looking good, you two! That was the best! You weren't the one getting Autobot heels dug into your sides.

FIXIT

( over comm ): Tracking Quillfire's signal, Bee Team.

He's very close to your position! Okay, keep very quiet so we can surprise him.



( electric power revving ) Quillfire must've turned on all the rides to distract us! I don't think it was Quillfire.



( upbeat theme playing ) Woo

-hoo! Ha

-ha

-ha

-ha! Yee

-haw! Note to self: Next time, don't volunteer so quickly to be team leader.

While Bumblebee's distracted, let's find our Decepticon.

They want to block me at every turn.

Does tyranny know no bounds?



( suspenseful theme playing )

( gasps ) Huh?



( Strongarm and Grimlock groaning ) BOTH: Whoa! There may be more Autobots coming.

Best to hide until they tire of looking for me.

This will do nicely.

Simply remaining free of the oppressor's iron fist is a victory unto itself.



( floor creaking )

( chuckling uneasily )

- BUMBLEBEE: Woo

-hoo!

- Aah! BUMBLEBEE

( Giggling ): Yippee ki

-yay! Huh?



( upbeat theme playing ) Isn't this the best place ever?



( laughing ) Woo

-hoo! You seek to confuse me.

But my resolve is strong! BUMBLEBEE: And you look like you can totally bounce!

( yelps )

( upbeat theme continues )

( suspenseful theme playing ) Whoo! Can't take much more

( grunts )

( grunts ) Focus

( Grimlock laughs weakly )

( groans ) That was worth the price of admission, don't you think?



(woozy) We have to check on the Lieutenant.

Ugh.



( Quillfire screaming ) I'm gonna guess he's over that way.



( suspenseful theme playing )

( laughing ) Oh, oh, Let's see if we can treadmark the ceiling! Fool! You've placed yourself where I can strike you!

( gasps ) Lieutenant! Whoo! Whoa! Uh

-oh.

Gotcha a present.

Huh?



(weakly) I don't feel well

( mellow theme playing ) Oh, major coolness! How can he still be so energized?

If the real Bumblebee were here, I bet he'd know what to do.

Grimlock, that is the real Bumblebee.

And until the toxin wears off Ugh, never mind! Hey.

Huh?



( uptempo theme playing ) You said this ride was awesome! When does it get awesome?

Seems pretty awesome to me.

Hey, look, I can You probably can't, but I can see the scrapyard from up here!

(wolf howls ) I'm still waiting on the awesome!

( rooster crows )

( mellow theme playing )

( groans )

(groggy) What's with the restraints?

Is this one of Sideswipe's pranks?

Bee's back.

And Ugh.

why does my head feel so heavy?

Nice work, team.

It was all you, sir.

You nabbed the Decepticon.

Well, that's what you keep saying.

I just wish I could remember what happened.

Nah.

You don't, really.

But Strongarm did a great job of filling your stabilizers while you were out.

Well, then I suppose thanks are in order, cadet.

Proud to serve, Sir! But I'm hoping it'll be a while before I need to do it again.

So, you're not gonna tell Bumblebee how I messed up when I was supposed to be watching him?

That happened when I was Temporary Team Leader.

Now I'm just happy to be part of the team again.

BUMBLEBEE: Ugh.

Rubber cement?

Heh.

Classic.
