01x02 - Pilot, Part 2

[bunniefuu]

ANNOUNCER: Previously on Robots in Disguise: OPTIMUS: I need you on Earth, Bumblebee.

A new mission.



- Wha ?

Rusty!

- It's Russell.

STRONGARM: A ride

-along shall accompany a senior officer for an entire shift.

We've been here less than an hour, and he's already revealed himself to a human.

I'm Fixit, and this was the prison ship Alchemor.

And we're missing most of our stasis cells.

Their inmates are presumably at large.



- You ever been to Nuon City?



- No.

That's because I ate it!

[roars]

I hear fighting.

Who's fighting?

I wanna fight! FIXIT: The more metal a Chompazoid consumes, the more powerful it becomes.

Wait, the scrap yard?

My dad's in there! Oh, mercy, his dad's in there!

- Uh, what's a dad?



- Um, it's an older member of this planet's dominant species that shares genetic material with a younger member and assists in the rearing and education of that member.

Oh.

Why didn't you just say that?

Dad! Whoa! You're not going anywhere near that Chompazoid.

It's too dangerous.



[grunting]

SIDESWIPE: Uh, you know who else is probably too dangerous?

Him.



[ominous theme playing]



[roars]



[growling]



[ominous theme playing]

Hey! They're civilians.

No thr*at.



- STRONGARM: I'm no civilian.



- He doesn't look threatened to me.



[sighs]

Those two could draw all kinds of attention.



- Everyone, stay here.



- Regulations clearly state

- that multiple officers

- No.

You're too inexperienced.

I'm handling this alone.

I don't care what he says.

That's my dad.

Whoops, the human is on the move.

I better keep an eye on him.



- Aren't you going too?



- Pfft! Not my fight.

Oh, I hear you.

Loud and fear uh, sneer Clear! I'm no fighter, either.

I'm a lover.

Ah, let's see if ol' Fixit can find something to help out with these fugitives.

Maybe some weapons, gear.



[chuckles]

I can tell we're gonna be great friends, Sideswipe.

Hey, do you have a nickname?

No, wait, let me guess.

Uh, Scooter?

Rumblejack?

Bill! Mine is MC.



[chuckles]

It's actually a long, long story.

Sideswipe?

Hello?



[rock music playing over headphones]



[humming out of tune]



[grunts]



[vehicles approaching]



[suspenseful theme playing]



[roars]



[grunts]

We got a dance to finish, scrud!

[grunting]



[panting]

You're from the prison ship too.

I'm not gonna eat the whole planet.

Just the crunchy parts.

So why are you bothering me?

I like to pick on things my own size.

And just because we rode here together, doesn't make us travel buds.



[grunting]



[roars]



[chuckles]

Even though we aren't buds, have a nice rest of your trip.



[yells]



[humming]



[Grimlock yelling]



- Wait for an opening, B.



- Dad! I'll get the human clear, and then you and I can take

- down the fugitive, sir!

- Strongarm! Scrap.



[panting]



[roars]



[groans]



[grunting]



- Guess Chompazoids ain't so tough.



- Or Dinobots ain't so smart.



[snarls]



[squeals]



[screams]



[yells]

Uh, thanks.

No big thing.

Let's find your, uh, "dad.

"

[sniffs]

Ooh, cute.

Let's do this! Strongarm, no!

[roars]

Go, go, go!

[dramatic theme playing]



[gasps]

There! Dad! Dad! Rusty! Did you find the meteor?

No, I found them.



[dramatic theme playing]

Yowza.

There a back door to this place?

Because you might need one before this is over.

Talking robot car.

Uh

-huh.



[roars]

You bit me!

[yells]



[crashing and banging]



[sighs]

This is a disaster.

Why didn't you stay put like I said?

I am trained to serve and protect, not stay put.

That mousy Mini

-Con.



[shudders]

My audio receptors were starting to melt.



- Human.



- Denny.



- Where's the safest place around here?



- Um Oh, there's some caves down by the river.

Take Russell there.

Sideswipe, Strongarm, you too.

Sir, I wanna help.

Teach me, like Optimus taught you.

I'm not Optimus! It's too bad, because we could really use a Prime right about now.

Outstanding.

Unh! I was hoping to work in a, unh, one rep max.

But you're the one who's gonna

[roars]

feel the burn! Brace yourselves!

[groans]

Thundercruncher.

Mwah! Boltsmasher.

Mwah! Undefeated and still champion.



[sighs]

Ah, that's good.

And I'm saving the rest of you little darlings for dessert.



[grunts]



[grunting]



[gasps]

A buffet.

Oh, it's hard

-body heaven.



[dramatic theme playing]

Are you all right, human Denny?

It's just Denny.

And yeah.

Thank you.

Aw, look what that monster did to my stuff!

[whimpers]



- Is Is everyone okay?



- Everyone's fine, lieutenant.

Except maybe the fugitive.



[roars]

Round two!

- What happened?



- Underbite tossed you like a lob ball.



- Anyone get hurt?



- Nope.



- That's a first.



- It's strange that Underbite took off.

There's still plenty of metal here.

He's heading for that city.

Those skyscrapers.

We should call the cops.

The Army! No.

No more humans can become involved.

Those buildings in Crown City?

There are tens of thousands of humans in them! Then I'll have to stop him before he ever gets there.

Just let me transform, sir, and I'll come with.

Strongarm, you need to understand.

None of you is supposed to be here.

Optimus said this was a mission for me.

Well, I want another sh*t at that muscle head.

You can't let some criminal ride with you.

I'm not a criminal! At least, I don't think I am.

Bet that's what they all say on the prison ship.



- I'm not letting

- I'm going.

And if you don't like it, you can try and stop me.



- I'm going too.



- Dad! I know a shortcut to the bridge.

Lieutenant, if you're taking those two Fine.

But no Cybertronian forms.

There could be boats on that river, witnesses on the shore.

We need to look like something humans will accept.

We need to be robots in disguise.

Do you store any other vehicles here?

Find one.

Hurry.



- Sideswipe?



- I'm good.

You have "law enforcement" written all over you.



- Bumblebee to Fixit, come in.



- Fixit here, sir.



- Fixit?

What are you doing?



- Answering your call.



[chuckles]

And I'm supposed to be the one with the faulty hiring Uh, whining.

Wiring! No, I mean

[stammers]

Uh, never mind.

Any progress on the stasis cells back at the crash site?

Yes, I've repaired one cell.

You didn't have to come here to tell me that.

Oh.

Well, oh, sure.

I'll just go back to the ship then, and take these capture devices with me.

Wait! Capture devices?



[dramatic theme playing]

Just point or throw.

So, what did you choose?



[dramatic theme playing]



[engine revs]

RUSSELL: Yowza.

Fixit, back to the ship and get that cell ready.

Russell, stay here with Sideswipe.

Everyone else, we're a team now, and we're all that stands between Underbite and the loss of a lot of innocent lives.

So let's do what we have to do.

Roll up and roll out!

[dog barking]

I'll work on that last part.



[suspenseful theme playing]

All this organic trash.

I'm losing my pump.



[growls]



[tweets]

You! How far am I from the bridge?



[chirping]

Ugh! Uck, nope.

Hello, handsome.

Hey.

You think this is a good look?



- Whoa!

- Well, let's go.



- But Bumblebee said

- If it was you out there, I bet nothing would stop your dad.



[grunts]

You know, there's always room for dessert.



[ominous theme playing]



[growls]



[circuits powering down]



[grunting]

Sorry, Underbite.

This bridge is closed.



[roars]



[yells]



[groaning]

Fixit, you are my favorite Mini

-Con.



[roars]

Fixit, I'm rethinking my rankings.



[roars]

I need a little iron to get my full shred back, and I don't really care if I have to go through you to get it.



[dramatic theme playing]

Ready for your back

-up plan, sir.

I don't have one.

Get out of here! Why don't we just start punching and see how it turns out?



[horn honking]

Take your best sh*t, you overgrown schnauzer!

[roars]



[tires screeching]

Come and get it! Just the pick

-me

-up I was looking for.

Rusty!

[dramatic theme playing]



- SIDESWIPE: Now what?



- I hadn't really thought that far ahead.

We need to lead him somewhere there's no metal.

SIDESWIPE: Or humans.

BOTH: To the quarry!

[dramatic theme playing]



[suspenseful theme playing]

Gimme!

[grunts]



[roars]



[Bumblebee yells]



[dramatic theme playing]



[all grunting]

BUMBLEBEE: Give it everything you got!

[grunts]

Everything!

[Sideswipe grunts]

This is awesome!

[grunting]



[roars]

That's what I'm talking about!

[gasps]



- Who's the boss now, huh?



- Dad! Fall back! Who's rough?

Who's tough?

Who's huge?



[dramatic theme playing]

No!

[gasps]



[growling]



[heroic theme playing]



[yells]



[grunting]

Ow Dad?

Optimus! You are alive!

- Are you alive?



- That is unclear.

But I do know that I cannot maintain my presence on Earth for much longer.

You have found an excellent team.

We, uh we found each other, actually.

Together, you will confront many challenges.

The forces facing Earth are immense and formidable.

But I am certain you will accomplish great things,

- as you did today.



- But we needed your help, Optimus.

We'll always need your help.

You are ready to lead, Bumblebee.

Do not doubt yourself.



- Will I see you again?



- I am not certain.

The universe has a plan for me, but I do not know what it is.

You will prevail, Bumblebee.

You must.



[mellow theme playing]

Are you sure you're okay having us move our command center onto your property?

Our place is a much better hideout for you than the woods.

And I can help you keep your cover.

Um, if, you know, I'm not doing anything else.

You're not gonna make me go back to sleep, are you?

Protocol 13, Section 9 says prisoners must be

- Consider yourself on probation.



- But sir! Yeah! I'm on probation Yes, on probation

- Hey!

- Uh, that's a good thing, right?



- Glad you're with us, Sideswipe.



- For now.



[grunts]

As your senior officer, I order you to take this equipment

[grunts]

You don't get to give me orders.

Excuse me, these are very delicate.

[chuckles]

I don't know if you've studied the science of 394J receptors.

Their construction is really quite interenting internest interesting! I We won't let you down, Optimus.

And if I say it enough, maybe I'll actually believe it.

[Sideswipe & Strongarm grunt]

I'm on probation Yes, on probation Yes, on probation
