♪ Transformers ♪
- [Alpha Q] I am deep
within a dense, dark cloud
of cosmic matter.
I am at the core.
All that remains of the
planet-sized Transformer
known as Unicron.
- [High-Pitched Voice] Wait
a second, hold everything!
Something is missing here!
Give me a moment to think!
- [Rumbling Voice] The energy
core is seriously depleted.
- We scan the universe
for a new source.
I am Alpha Q, one of the
many victims of Unicron.
He's probably back online,
to prevent him
from going offline.
(maniacal laughing)
- Must awaken
Unicron, must release
energy eating Terrorcons.
He hungers for the most
powerful energy in the universe.
Energon, it is in
abundance on Earth
and nothing will
stand in the way.
(roars)
(dramatic music)
- [Demolishor] It has been ten
Earth years since our leader,
Megatron, and Unicron
disappeared into deep space.
For ten years, I have
had to suffer through
working alongside the
incompetent Autobots
and these pathetic humans.
We, the Decepticons,
destined to rule the galaxy
have no choice but to
follow Optimus Prime.
(metal clashing)
We have joined forces
secretly with the humans
to search for energon and
to rebuild what was lost
both on Cybertron and Earth.
(triumphant music)
Hey, what's going on here?
Nobody told me we
were surfacing.
(motorcycle engine revs)
Oh, it's only you, Kicker.
What are you doing out here?
- I came out for a
little fresh air.
Do you mind?
- You're not supposed
to be out here!
Now get back!
(Kicker laughs)
Kicker!
- Later!
(laughs)
(electronic music)
(tires skid)
- Aren't you supposed to
be working, Demolishor?
- You're not the
boss of me, Hot Shot!
- Quit livin' in the past,
we're not enemies anymore.
Or did you forget?
- You're still an Autobot to me.
- Whatever, I gotta
go get Kicker.
Now get back to work!
(groans)
- One of these days, Hot
Shot, I'm going to crush you!
- Okay, Kicker, party's over.
(Kicker laughs)
(motorcycle engine revs)
- I don't think so, Hot Shot!
- Ah, that kid can be such
a pain in the rear bumper.
Transform!
(Kicker laughs)
- [Kicker] Hey, what's
the matter, Hot Shot?
Too fast for ya?
(motorcycle engine whirring)
- Okay, wise guy, who
gave you permission
to surface the city?
- I am so sick of being
trapped in this stupid city!
And besides, who made you king?
- I'm in charge here so don't
push your luck, you got that?
- You think you're the boss but
I've had enough of
you bossin' me around!
- Better watch
your mouth, Kicker!
- Hey, watch where
you're aimin' that thing!
- Oh, sorry.
- I hate this.
- Get back!
(tires screech)
(heart thumps)
Hey, what's wrong?
(Kicker laughs)
- Okay, you win, Hot Shot.
(birds cawing)
(water splashes)
(slow electronic music)
(jackhammer running)
- Huh, what's up?
- Check it out, Skyblast.
(low thrumming)
(both gasp)
- [Rad] This is Earth's
Extraterrestrial Research
and Development Center
here on planet Cybertron
and if it has to do
with Earth, these guys
are the ones to talk to.
(computers beeping)
- (gasps) Are you serious?
- Yeah, I'm serious.
And can you tell my dad I'm
gonna check things out, Rad?
- You got it, kiddo.
- Thanks.
- [Dr. Jones] Rad,
was that Sally?
- Yeah, and she's got
big news from Earth!
- (groans) Please don't tell
me Kicker did something again.
- No, no Doc, Kicker's just fine
but Sally said the Omnicons
hit a huge deposit of energon!
- What am I gonna do with him?
Huh, what?
Down at Ocean City?
- [Rad] She said our
Earth station has detected
molecular activity at
the precise coordinates
where you suspected
energon to be.
- Very interesting, has Hot Shot
been informed about this?
- Not yet.
- Optimus will be pleased.
All the material I've read
on energon says it's a
clean energy source and the
answer to Earth's energy crisis.
But more importantly,
the Transformers
need it for themselves to
power up and repair Cybertron.
This may well be the
discovery of the millennium!
(elevator rises)
- Hey Tidal Wave, did
you hear the good news?
They found energon!
We better get our butts
in gear and get some!
- Oh boy, Decepticons
are so uptight!
- Yeah, when they were
programmed, they forgot
to put in the relax chip.
(laughs)
- Hey, look up there!
- [Tidal Wave] What's
going on up there?
- We just saw something, sir!
(expl*si*n)
- Tidal Wave!
(machines cawing)
(machines roaring)
(laser blasts)
(dramatic music)
- Tidal Wave will
defend Cybertron.
Tidal Wave will attack!
(yelling)
(grunts)
(both grunting)
(yelling)
- So, anyone else?
- Yeah, I'll go
again, I'm ready!
Whenever you are!
- (laughing) I
like you, Ironhide.
You remind me a lot of Hot Shot.
- You really think so, sir?
(alarm blares)
- All right, that's enough
training for today, men.
We'll pick this up tomorrow.
- [All] Sir!
- Oh wow, can't believe
Optimus said that!
Just to be mentioned in
the same breath as Hot Shot
is probably the greatest
compliment in the universe.
I am the greatest!
(stomping)
- What's up?
- There's big trouble, Optimus!
- One of our satellite cities
has been hit by asteroids
blasted by some unknown force.
They stole some energon.
- What?
- [Rad] Carlos radioed in that
our Mars depot was under attack.
(computers beeping alarmingly)
- All stations,
this is not a test!
Enemy attack has
been detected coming
from unknown
mechanical lifeforms!
- [Deep Rumbling Voice] A very
interesting turn of events,
don't you think,
Commander Prime?
Who would have thought energon
would have been detected
on planet Earth?
- It's strange.
- [Deep Rumbling Voice]
But what's even stranger
is we don't know
who our enemy is
and if they plan on
attacking us on Earth.
- Then I'll assemble
a Recon team at once.
- [Dr. Jones] No, wait!
- Huh?
- I have something for you.
- So what's the scoop, sir?
Me and my boys are
startin' to rust away
because it's been
so slow around here.
- (laughs) You always
crack me up, Jetfire.
Well, we've got a mission and
that includes you, Inferno.
- I heard there's a
situation on Earth, sir.
- That's right, but first
we have to make a stop
at our space bridge on Mars.
- To assess the enemy, sir?
- Yes, now let's move out.
- [Ironhide] Hang on!
What now, Ironhide?
- (panting) You
gotta take me, sir!
I wanna go on this mission.
- Wanna learn from
the best, huh?
Well I hope you understand
this isn't just a game.
- Okay, I know I'm a rookie,
Optimus, but I wanna see some-
- You uploaded your spark
of combination, Ironhide?
- Uh, no, not yet.
But I can!
- It's your decision, Jetfire.
- (groans) Okay, come on.
- Sir!
- All units, transform!
Rad, open the gates!
- Rodger that, Optimus,
I'm all over it.
(electric whirring)
Dr. Jones, is Ironhide
going with them?
- It looks like it, yeah.
- Roll out!
(dramatic music)
- [Ironhide] Man, this is great!
- [Jetfire] Just zip it!
- [Optimus] Transform!
(ominous mucis)
Well men, here we are, Mars.
- Is that our Cybertron City?
- Hello, can anybody hear me?!
- I'm not detecting any signs
of life on this planet, sir.
- But I thought there
was supposed to be
loads of transformers
workin' down there.
- Me too.
- You think they were wiped out?
- We've got to get to Earth!
(dramatic music)
(birds cawing)
(electric zapping)
- Is that energon?
- Yes, it's the
energy source that all
life forms need
to survive, Sally.
- I'm not sure I get it, Mom.
Do you, Kicker?
- (groans) You think I care?
- What is with that boy?
- He's just going through
a phase, that's all.
- Well.
(sad music)
(Kicker grunts)
- Humans don't need to
rely on Transformers.
(growls)
- Look!
- Well, here we are, Kicker,
this is planet Cybertron.
(mechanical stomping)
(gasps)
It's okay, son,
they're our friends.
They're called Transformers
and they're here to protect us.
- Yeah, well I don't need
anyone to protect me.
(electric humming)
- [Hot Shot] Are
you serious, Carlos?
Our base on Mars was hit?
- Yeah, Hot Shot, and
according to our reports,
it was destroyed by
some kind of asteroids.
Oh and supposedly, a huge
amount of energon was stolen.
- Boy, it sure is lucky that
nothing's happened here yet.
- Hot Shot!
Hot Shot!
You gotta submerge the city!
(pants)
And make it quick!
- No can do, Kicker,
we're right in the middle
of an energon mining op.
And besides, it was
you who raised the city
in the first place.
- Listen, we're under attack!
- We're what?!
- Come on, let's go!
- Kicker, hang on!
- Hey, let's go!
(mechanical shifting)
(engine revving)
- Not this time, kid!
- Out of my way, Demolishor!
We don't have time
for this, now move!
We're under attack!
(engine revving)
- What?!
Hot Shot, no!
- I don't see anything, Kicker.
- I'm not joking
around this time.
- Well for your
sake, you better not
'cause I'm sick of
your stupid pranks,
you understand, Kicker?
Now step on it!
- [Optimus] Kicker,
where are you going?
I'm a little too old to be
playing hide and seek, Kicker.
And besides, this
area is off limits
so if you know what's good for
ya, show yourself right now!
(mumbling) I just
hope he isn't lost.
Kicker!
Kicker!
- Go away, I hate you bots!
I hate every last one of you!
- Kicker.
- Get away from me!
(metal clangs)
(Kicker screams)
(electric buzzing)
What happened?
(high-pitching humming)
- [Primus] So, you're the
one who discovered me.
- Who are you?
(electric zapping)
(Kicker grunts)
- [Primus] You humans
are interesting creatures
and I'm curious what type of
energy source you rely on.
- Kicker!
What's going on here?
(Kicker whimpers)
(low electric thrumming)
- That's when it all started,
that's when I realized
I had some weird ability
to perceive things.
(tires screech)
(gasps)
Up there, Hot Shot!
Can you see it?
- (groans) I don't see a thing.
Transform!
This better not be a joke.
- It's not, now fire!
- Yeah, whatever.
(g*n fires)
There's nothing!
- Well, you missed!
Look, there they are!
- [Hot Shot] Hey, you're right.
But what are those things?
- They look like some
kind of Recon bots
and there's lots of 'em!
- How do you know?
- [Kicker] Take a
look for yourself!
- Kicker, why would
Transformers be attacking us?
- 'Cause they're
after our energon!
Come on, we gotta
evacuate the city!
- Kicker!
(machines cawing)
(laser blasts)
(expl*si*n)
This is crazy!
(Kicker laughs)
Kicker, don't be an idiot!
We're in trouble.
(machines roaring)
- What's goin' on?
What do you want?
(roaring)
Oh no you're not!
(g*n blasting)
(roaring)
You're not getting past me!
- Run for it, Kicker!
(machines growl)
- Somebody call for help?
Well it's Optimus and
his boys to the rescue!
- Transform!
(laser blasts)
- Transform!
Remember me, Kicker?
- Yeah, you're Optimus Prime.
(triumphant music)
- Hey, Skyblast, listen.
You hear somethin' outside?
- Who cares, I got enough
work here to keep me busy.
- Yeah, and besides, we're
not even battle bots.
(crashing)
- Oh no, where's my brother?
- Where's Kicker?
- They're swarmin' like flies.
Now they're in trouble.
- We'll hold them off.
You get out of here, Kicker.
- Yeah, like I stand
a chance if I run.
- I promised your father
I'd look after you.
- I'm not a kid
(engine revs) anymore!
- Kicker!
- I can look after myself!
- [Optimus] Ironhide, stop him!
- Yes sir!
- Prime force, transform!
(rumbling crash)
(helicopter blades whirring)
(metal slicing)
(wind howling)
Hot Shot, time to use
the spark of combination
Primus gave me!
Here, it's coming your way!
(low humming)
- Awesome.
- Oh man, is that
Hot Shot up there?
- Okay, now combine
with Inferno and attack!
- Roger that.
Inferno, now!
Hot Shot!
- Inferno!
(electric buzzing)
- [Together] Power links!
(loud blasting)
(yelling)
(g*n firing)
- Prime force, this way!
(engines revving)
Optimus Prime super mode!
Power links!
Fire one combined.
Copter two, combined.
Digger three, combined.
Submarine four, combined.

- Optimus Prime, super mode!
(upbeat music)
Energon blast!
- Whoa, not bad!
- Are there any more intruders?
- [Jetfire] Yeah, they're
going for the bridge.
- What?!
- All right kid, pull over!
- Hey, would you
get lost, you freak?
Can't you see I'm trying to
create a diversion for Optimus?
- Sorry pal, but
I've got my orders.
Hey, what are you doing?
- Nine o'clock!
Come and get it, you freaks!
(expl*si*n)
(Kicker yelling)
- Kicker!
I'll save you!
(grunts)
- What happened?
- A gift from your father.
- Huh, him again?
- He realized you
wouldn't listen to anyone
so he wanted to protect you.
You're not a warrior, Kicker.
- What happened to those bots?
- We took care of them and
we didn't need your help.
- Give me a break, and what
about my mom and my sister, huh?
Or don't you Transformers care?
- Hey, watch it, punk!
Nobody talks to
Hot Shot like that!
- Take it easy, Ironhide.
- This is Earth, my planet!
I decide what I do and
nobody else, you got that?
(Optimus laughs)
What's so funny?
- Your father sure has
you pegged, Kicker,
and that's why he built
that suit of armor.
Those robots were Terrorcons,
they were after the energon
and they'll be back.
So if you want to
battle alongside us,
you'll have to wear that suit.
- [Alpha Q] Well
unfortunately for my side,
we didn't get our
hands on the energon.
That's the bad news.
The good news is
there are plenty
of other Cybertron Earth cities
but where will we strike next?
- [High-Pitched Voice]
We're gonna get it!
We're gonna get it!
- [Alpha Q] That should keep
those mindless Transformers
on their toes and if there's
one thing I simply adore,
it's the element of surprise.
