RAD:

Hi, my name's Rad,

and I want to tell you

about the Transformers,

mechanical beings

from another world.

There's the Autobots, the good

guys, and the Decepticons.

They're all fighting

over a tiny race of robots

called the Mini-Cons

who crash-landed on Earth

thousands of years ago

and they're scattered

all over the planet.

The Decepticons wanna

collect them and use them

to increase their power.

But the Autobots will put

a stop to that.

( action theme playing )

♪ Transformers ♪

( grunting )

Come on.

Let's go and rush them, guys.

No way!

We'll attack from both sides.

Are you crazy?

What kind of plan is that?

Those are Megatron's orders!



( all gasp )

All right. All right.

Let's just blast them already.

That's it.

You two keep them occupied.

Transform.

( grunting )

( both grunt )

STARSCREAM:

That was a lucky shot.

( gasps )

( suspenseful theme playing )

( Starscream screaming )

I don't believe it.

Even a battle simulation

is too tough for them.

You call yourselves

Decepticons?

You're lucky that was only

a training exercise

and not a real battle,

or else you'd all be

annihilated.

And you, Starscream,

I expect much more

from my second in command.

But, sir,

you can't blame me.

The other two were supposed

to cover me.

Forget that. You can

look after your own hide.

I say it

just goes to show you

a leader without a Mini-Con

is no good to anyone.

( Demolisher & Cyclonus

laughing )

Megatron,

please I promise to do better

if you let me have

the next Mini-Con.

I think he's gonna start

to cry. Ha-ha-ha.

Hey, you take that back.

MEGATRON:

Enough.

( alarm blaring )



ALL: Huh?

Listen, that signal's coming

from a new Mini-Con panel.

Prepare for launch.

We will depart for Earth

immediately.

( action theme playing )

Rad's sure taking his time

getting here.

Ah, be cool.

Here he comes.

Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late,

but I had to get a few things

that I thought we might need.

Huh?

CARLOS:

Are you sure

you brought enough stuff?

Did you raid a garage sale?



Of course not.

I figured

if we're gonna be hanging out

with the Autobots

and Mini-Cons,

we might need

some human things.

Always be prepared,

that's what I say.

Yeah, you're right.

I guess that makes sense.

Hey, Rad, this sure looks

like camping stuff to me.

Yeah, that's what it is.

CARLOS:

Cool.

We're going on a camping trip?

ALEXIS:

Well, I just hope you've got

some bug spray in there.

RAD:

I got everything.

Now let's go.

RAD ( narrating ):

Alexis and Carlos

didn't know it,

but all that gear

I brought with me

was gonna come in handy.

We were about to set out

on an adventure

with the Autobots that none

of us would ever forget.

Why is this Mini-Con

still lying dormant?

I'm not sure, sir.

It may be

that the data's been protected.

RED ALERT:

But how could that happen?

OPTIMUS:

I don't know.

( crashing and clanging )

Nice entrance,

Grinder.

( Grinder beeping )

You guys bring enough supplies

with you?

I know. Rad just thought

we might need a few goodies

from home, that's all.

Right?



Uh-huh.

( laughs )

( alarm blaring )



BOTH: Huh?

That's the beacon signal

of a new Mini-Con.

Red Alert, can you bring it up

on the monitor?

Yes, sir.

OPTIMUS:

You've got the location?

Good, let's move out.

( grunts )

( grunts )

Ugh. Whoa.

Hey,

check this place out.

This terrain

would be excellent

to ride our BMX's on.



Look.

( birds chirping )

Aw. It's a deer.

I hope we see some more.

Mm-hm.



CARLOS: Hey, guys?

I know there's nothing

that's gonna scare me out here,

as long as there's no tigers

or panthers around.

Would you give your head

a shake? This is a forest.

Yeah, of course, I know that.

I was just testing you guys.

OPTIMUS:

Come on, team, settle down.

We've got a lot of work to do.

Let's find

that Mini-Con panel.

Hot Shot, get Jolt to do a recon

from the air.

Okay. Go take a look, Jolt.

( Jolt beeping )

( beeping )

RAD:

How's it looking up there, Jolt?

( Jolt beeping )

Hey, Rad, he sees something

in the distance.

All right. We found it, sir.

Let's move out.

Uh, move out? Which way?

Well,

I guess you're the boss.

But it isn't exactly a freeway,

though.

I think we'll have to walk

from here.

We'll leave the container

behind.

Sparkplug, I want you

to stay here until we get back.

( beeping )

I'm glad someone

is gonna watch our gear.

I hope

he doesn't get lonely.

Aw, he'll be fine.

Hey,

are we really gonna walk?

If you'd rather not,

you can always stay here.

HOT SHOT:

What?

Huh?

( beeping )

I'm coming. I'm coming.

( thudding )

( grunting )

Aw, this stinks.

Why did the Mini-Con

have to end up way out here

in the middle of nowhere?

( grunts )

( grunting )

No.

You can't do that, Hot Shot.

You can't

cut the trees down.

They're living beings

and they help the Earth too.

But they just keep

getting in my way.

Just be respectful,

Hot Shot.

After all, we're only guests

on this planet.

Just let the trees be.

The walk will be worth it.

CARLOS:

Hey, you guys, get over here.

Huh?



I think we're in luck.

It looks like there's a path

up ahead.

You sure?



HOT SHOT: Now you're talking.

There's a path?

How come there's a path

way out here?

Ah. See? I told you so.

Good call. I wonder

who could've done this, Carlos.

RAD: I think I know.



Huh?

RED ALERT:

This path heads

in the same direction

of the source

of the Mini-Con signal.

All right.

Let's hit the trail.

Come on, guys. Follow me.

He really needs to get back

on that open road.

Hmm. I think you're right.

Everyone on board.

Let's get that Mini-Con.

ALEXIS:

Sure thing, Optimus.

♪ Transformers ♪

I'm sure glad

I found this path.

You're right.

But I'm still trying

to figure out

what it's doing here.

RAD:

It's for illegal cutting.

BOTH:

Huh?

Are you serious, Rad?

So, what does that mean?

It means they cut down trees

without a proper license.

Huh?

That causes a lot of destruction

to the planet

because trees and plants produce

oxygen needed by humans.

They also help slow down

global warming

by converting carbon dioxide

to air.

Sometimes we humans forget

the delicate balance

we share with nature.

And it's gonna cost us

if we're not careful.

So you mean

if all these trees

keep getting

illegally chopped down...

RAD:

The global warming will get

progressively worse,

and the Earth might even become

uninhabitable.

You know, I really wish

people would understand

that the future

of the human race

depends on what we do to protect

the environment today.

OPTIMUS:

Rad's right. This planet

looks peaceful at a glance,

but it has

some serious problems.

( locator whirring )

So are you sure

we're going the right way?

Yes, I programmed

the locator myself

so I know we're going

in the right direction.

We'll find it, sir.

Ha, I see you're overconfident

as usual.

What was that, Starscream?

Nothing.

I was just talking to myself.

Ha. Keep talking

because no one else

is listening to you anymore.

What's that?

CYCLONUS:

Yeah, Starscream, give it up.

You couldn't even find your way

to the Mini-Con

if I pointed you right to it,

like this.

The Mini-Con?

Well, where is it?

STARSCREAM:

That Mini-Con belongs to me.

I think it's very close by.

Get it.



Last one there

has a rotten circuit.

That Mini-Con will be mine.

There's no way I'll let

Demolisher or Cyclonus get it.

And once I have it,

even Megatron

won't get in my way.

HOT SHOT:

Whoa.

Hot Shot.



RED ALERT: Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm okay,

but that was close.

DECEPTICON:

Oh, sh**t. I missed him.

Huh?



Ah. It's them.

RED ALERT: Decepticons.



HOT SHOT: I should have known.

( all snickering )

We came for the Mini-Con.

Not if you're going to use it

for evil purposes.

What we do with it is none

of your business, Optimus Prime.

Blast them.

( all grunt )

Kids, run.

Those creeps.

Ugh. The trees are on fire.

Don't sh**t unless you have

a clear line of fire.

We mustn't harm this forest.

Come on. Are you serious?

That's an order.

( grunting )

DEMOLISHER:

I love Autobot hunting.

Transform now.

You creep. Transform.

STARSCREAM:

I'll show them how it's done.

CYCLONUS: Out of the way.



STARSCREAM: Cyclonus?

CYCLONUS:

You're out of your league.

Stand back

and let a pro show you

how to do

some real destruction.

STARSCREAM:

You're blocking my target.

No, the animals.

Rad. Wait.

Oh.

Huh?

No. Not this way.

ALEXIS:

Over here.

RAD:

Are the animals safe?

CARLOS:

You bet.

( all gasp )

Ah.



Optimus.

Are you kids all right?

ALEXIS:

Yeah. Thanks for saving us.

We have to put out this fire,

and right now.

You're right. Red Alert,

Hot Shot, front and center.

( both grunting )

You should check your warranty.

I think it's expired.

I'll give you an overhaul

you won't forget.

Would you two please stop

your bickering?

DEMOLISHER:

Megatron, sir.

Look, they're getting away.



What?

( Megatron chuckling )

MEGATRON:

Look at those cowards run.

Should we go after them?



No.

First, we must find

that Mini-Con panel.

Right.

This is a very dangerous

situation.

Now let's put out this fire.



Yes, sir.

But, Optimus,

what if the Decepticons

get to the Mini-Cons first?

Putting out the fire

is more important than that.

The safety of the wildlife

in this forest takes priority.

Let's concentrate

on fighting this fire.

HOT SHOT: Yes, sir.



Let's get to work.

You kids can help,

but stay safe.

RAD:

We'll do what we can.

( tires screeching )

HOT SHOT:

This ought to cool things off.

They can't stop it.

It's spreading too fast.

They need our help.

And they need some water.

Yeah. You're right.

Okay, go for it, Laserbeak.

Look, he found a lake.



All right.

But how do we get

the water here?

I don't know.

RED ALERT:

I know what to do.

( all gasp )

We'll use the container

and create a fire extinguisher.

Agreed?



Do it.

Sparkplug, come in. Do you copy?



( beeps )

OPTIMUS:

We have a situation.

I'll send you our coordinates.

Bring the container to us.

( engine starts )

( grunting )

The fire's closing in.

Hang tough. Once Leader One

gets here, we'll be fine.

Stand by. Here he comes.

You're just in time,

my friend.

Container, open.

( action theme playing )

Okay, men, let's do this.

Red Alert, take the lead.

I'm on it, sir.

Come on,

let's give them a hand.

For sure. Ha-ha.

( beeping )

There it is.

The Mini-Con panel.

So tell me,

where is it, Demolisher?

Up there.

MEGATRON:

Ah, I see it now.

STARSCREAM:

Please let me retrieve it, sir.

This one's mine, boys.

I believe, for the benefit

of the Decepticons,

it would be better for me

to increase my power.

But you said, the next Mini-Con

that we find would be mine.

Demolisher,

I want that tree cut down.

And make sure

you don't damage that Mini-Con.

DEMOLISHER:

I'm on it, sir.

But, Megatron--

Stop pestering me,

Starscream.

( grunting )

( whirring )

All right. I've got everything

hooked up now.

Good work.



RAD: We're all set.

I'm ready when you are.

Here it goes.

I'm starting the pump.

( pump whirring

and clanging )

( beeping )



RAD: The pressure looks good.

Here comes the water.

So much for that blaze.



Yeah, it's working.

Excellent.

Optimus.

We can handle things here.

You guys go stop

the Decepticons.

Okay. Thanks.

( chuckling )

Another Mini-Con

will soon be mine.

( grunting )

What's this?

( ominous theme playing )

Decepticons, your little

hunting trip ends here.

I thought we chased you off,

Prime?

Get them.

OPTIMUS:

Autobots, attack.

CYCLONUS:

I'm gonna blast you to pieces.

Not if I blast you first.

Back off, you stooge.

We're going to get

that Mini-Con.

( grunting )

The Mini-Cons will not be used

as tools of w*r.

I'll do with them what I please

and you can't stop me.

STARSCREAM: Transform.



What?

What's he doing?



He's blown a circuit.

( suspenseful theme playing )

That Mini-Con

will be all mine.

( grunting )

( all gasping )

( Starscream snickering )

I've got it.

At last

I have one for my own.

It's mine.

My very own Mini-Con.

( grunts )

Go on.

Scan my beautiful image.

Give me what I deserve.

( whirring )

Yes. Show me my partner.

( suspenseful theme playing )

I will call you Swindle.

Transform for me now,

Swindle.

( guffawing )

I'll have enough power

to rule the land and the sky.

Come to me, Swindle.

Let's combine.

( tires screeching )

( grunting )

Transform and combine.

Just what do you think

you're doing, Starscream?

Let me show you

my incredible power.

Behold the Nal laser cannon.

( screaming )

( ominous theme playing )

Look what I have done.

My powers are awesome.

( all groaning )

OPTIMUS:

He's out of control.

( grunts )

You'll pay, Starscream.

Decepticons, retreat.

Hey, Autobots.

You had better keep

your eyes on me from now on.

( guffawing )

RED ALERT:

He's right. He could cause us

a lot of trouble.

HOT SHOT:

If you ask me, I think he's got

a few circuits loose.

RAD:

Optimus.

Good news. We were able

to put the fire out.

Good work team.

I sure hope

nobody got hurt.

Everybody's okay.

Hey, what happened here?

Don't tell me the Decepticons

got to the Mini-Con panel

before you did?

Unfortunately,

that's exactly what happened.

Hey, sorry.

We should have left the fire

and helped you guys

out instead.

OPTIMUS:

No, Rad, you're wrong.

All of you took over for us,

and you put the fire out.

You did the right thing.

We'll have another chance

to win back the Mini-Con.

But we wouldn't have had

another chance

to save the environment

if it weren't for you.

If this entire forest

were lost,

it would take years

for things to go back

to the way they were.

You stopped a disaster

from happening.

I'm satisfied

with the way things turned out.

So are we.

RAD:

That was the day

that I realized

the Autobots

were not just machines.

They had compassion for the

living things in the forest,

just like us. Optimus knew

it was more important

to preserve

our fragile environment.

( all grunting )

STARSCREAM:

Out of the way.

Let me handle this.

Transform and combine.

Fire the Nal laser cannon.

( grunting )

Oh, my. It's so easy.

I must be the most powerful

Decepticon in the universe.

Even more powerful

than Megatron.

( Starscream guffawing )

Oh, we'll just see about that,

Starscream.
