04x06 - Bee Cool

( upbeat theme playing )
Ah, it's a beautiful morning.

You know what it's a beautiful morning for, Wildbreak? A nice wash and wax? Ow! No, dim
-spark.

It's a beautiful morning for improving our positions in the boss' organization.

Oh, sounds like you got a plan, Drag Strip.

You got a plan? My best one yet, pal of mine.

Hey, that looks like the chief's whatchamacallit.

Does he know you have his whatchamacallit? Boy, he must really like you if he let you take his whatchamacallit.

He didn't let me, you lug nut.

I just did it.

It's called showing initiative, and it's how we are gonna get ahead.

This whatchamacallit detects Cybertronian technology.

We find us some sweet gear, bring it back to the boss and bang, zoom, we are at the top of the heap, buddy
-bot.

I'm talking chief lieutenants.

Blue skies and open roads ahead.

I don't know, Drag Strip.

That's right smack in squishy territory.

Chief Lieutenants are not afraid of squishies or anything else.

Now, are you ready to hit the big time? Then away we go.


( dramatic theme playing )
Transformers Robots in disguise Robots in disguise
( roars )
Robots in disguise Robots in disguise FIXIT: No.

No.

That won't do.

Oh! Look at that.

Did you find the parts? Can you build me a new Decepticon Hunter? No, but I found my back buffer.

Oh, sorry, lieutenant.

I'm afraid I don't have the requisite charts Carts Parts to build you another Decepticon Hunter.


( sighs )
It's not your fault.

I should have taken better care of it during our mission.

Maybe Windblade confiscated one during one of her missions.

Checking inventories of Windblade's known caches.

BLURR: Heads up.


( grunts )

( panting )
Watch it!
( panting )
Kids.

I'll talk to him.

Uh, what?
( grunting and breathing heavily )
And, time.


( buzzer sounds )
One box of pistons, as requested.

Just under 30 seconds.

You nailed it, intern.

Nailed it.

Boom! Didn't I ask you to get these pistons, Sideswipe? Blurr's Rescue Bot team called, asking when he'd be back.

So I figured we'd end his internship today with some last teaching moments.

Yeah.

I've done perimeter checks, fence repairs and weapons cleaning.

Sideswipe's been totally on point about everything.

Or totally dumping his chores on you.

Hey, all good, Bee.

We had a rough start, but Swipe and I are brobots.

You know it.


- Boom!
- Nailed it.

Whoo!
( both laughing )
Bee's a good guy, but sometimes he can kind of be a dipstick in the mud.

I heard that.


( snickering )
I don't get it.

I thought I was one of the bots.

Oh, do I know the feeling.

Don't let it get to you.

It took me a while to realize I can't be a father and a friend to Rusty.

All youngsters need an authority figure.


( mumbles )
FIXIT
( over comm )
: Lieutenant, I have good news.

I checked Windblade's records.

There is indeed a Decepticon Hunter in one of her caches.

Unfortunately, the cache is located in a heavily populated area.

West Rock is an island city.

The bridge is the only way to access it from the mainland.

And it's heavily populated? Oh, man, I bet that means I'm not invited.

It may be prudent to select a small team for this mission.

Drift's right.

With so many humans around, this is gonna be a tough retrieval.

Keeping a low profile is key, so I'm only taking Strongarm.

A mission on my last day and I can't go? Sorry, Blurr.

I'll tell you what: When I get back, I'll teach you an awesome move I learned from Optimus Prime.

You'll nail it in no time.

All right.

Optimus' stuff is always cool.

But waiting around to learn it, not so much.

Let's bounce.


( dramatic theme playing )

( horn honks )

( clearing throat )
Uh, sir, is everything all right? I'm tempted to pull you over for driving under the speed limit.

Let me ask you something, Strongarm, but I want an honest answer.

Honesty is one of the virtues all law enforcement cadets swear to in our oath of honor.

Do you and the rest of the team consider me cool? Cool? Why are you concerned about that, sir? Just tell me what you think, Strongarm.

You're not about swagger, sir.

You're cool in your own, special, old
-school way.

Old school? Uh, hey, is that the bridge?
( tires screech )

( Decepticon hunter beeping )
Hey, great.

We found some Cybertronian tech.

Let's go back and tell the chief all about it, huh? Hey! Come on, you.

If this is something real good, the boss may even make us overseers of Earth when the g*ng's ready to move to another planet.


( grunts )
Huh? Hey, that don't look real good, Drag Strip.

"That don't look real good, Drag Strip.

" One of these days, Wildbreak.

One of these days!
( beeping )

( grunts )
Huh? Well, what do we have here?
( screams )
It's okay, pal.

Stay cool.


( muffled grumbles )
No, I wasn't making a joke.


( grunts )

( grunts and sighs )
Thank you, Wildbreak.

Now, let's get back to work.


( Bumblebee scoffs and laughs )
BUMBLEBEE: This 'Con looks as threatening as a school bus.

Yeah, cover me, cadet.

Sir, shouldn't we wait for?
( grumbles )
Strongarm to base, Decepticon activity at the cache site.

Requesting immediate backup.

FIXIT: I'll try to get a lock on the signal.

Check your engine light, 'Con, because I'm taking you in.


( tires screech )

( chuckles )
Oh, hello.

Is there a problem, Autobots? Who are you talking to when you should be? Hello.

Is there a problem, Autobots? Freeze.

And drop those weapons.

Oh, he already froze once today, officer.

Stop chatting with them and show them how we rumble.


( engine revs )
Huh? Oh.

Why don't they ever just surrender?
( both groaning )
Sir, my stabilizers, they're malfunctioning.

I I can't move.


( both groaning )

( chuckles )
Look at that.

They're so impressed with us, they're falling all over themselves.

Let's grab what we came for, then we can truss up these do
-gooders and bring them back to the boss.

Well, Wildbreak, between all this gear and these prisoners, I think we can say "Hello, promotions.

" Just like Autobots to bring a couple of blades to a blaster fight.

Yep, but we also brought a Dinobot.

Ooh, yeah! Party invite accepted.

No way, they're not getting me! Oh one of these days.


( all scream )

( groans )
Oh, scrud.

And that is why I got myself a Rescue Bot for an intern.

And we lost ourselves those 'Cons and the weapons.

SIDESWIPE: I think we can all agree that had Blurr and I been here to take on those 'Cons at the start, we would have Nailed it! All right, look, we still have a job to do.

Let's rev up and roll out.


( dramatic theme playing )

( computer beeping )
I'm sorry, lieutenant.

I'm having trouble tracking the Stunticons due to RADIO ANNOUNCER: You too can keep your locks luscious with Luskey hair products.

interference from the surrounding area.

But it appears the Decepticons are looking for a way out of the city.

BUMBLEBEE: Only one way to do that.

Track them as best you can, Fixit.

Strongarm, Grimlock, shut down the bridge.

STRONGARM: Roger that.

BUMBLEBEE: Sideswipe, Blurr, keep optics on the Stunticons.

Drift and I will cut them off.

But no daredevil tactics, you two.

SIDESWIPE: You might as well tell a tow truck not to tow.

Aw, scrap.

Traffic's too tight to use my Energon Boost.


( tires screech )

( car horns honk )

( action theme playing )

( engines rev )
DRAG STRIP: Forget it, Autobot.

You're below my new pay grade.

Whoa! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Did you see that? Dude totally stole my move.

Ugh.

Fixit, any luck getting a lock on their signals? I'm very close to isolating the signals, sir.

All I have to do is RADIO ANNOUNCER: Be sure to try our Luskey luxury conditioner.

Ooh, that's smooth.

Aww.

Strongarm, report.


( car horns honking )

( lips motoring )
Sorry, folks.

Be out of your way in a jiff.

We set up a roadblock, lieutenant.

Those 'Cons aren't going anywhere.

BUMBLEBEE: Okay, let's sweep the city block by block.

Aww.

Block by block? Yeah, it's a classic tracking technique.

Okay, then let's try something a little more new school.

We'll b*at the 'Cons to the bridge and nail them down.

Cool.

Cool.

How are we gonna do that? BUMBLEBEE: I have a few tricks up my wheel well.

BLURR: Whoo
-hoo! This is awesome! SIDESWIPE: Totally awesome.

Lieutenant, I've isolated the signals and they are headed for the bridge, north of your position.

BUMBLEBEE: Roger that, we're heading north.

ALL: Whoa! Not cool.

A sweep was the appropriate maneuver.

Come on, home
-bots.

Scrap happens.

My bot Fixit's got a lock on them.

We'll just roll topside and bust these Stunti
-clowns.

Home
-bots?
( car horns honking )
This should do it.


( grunts )

( grumbles )
STRONGARM: Lieutenant, I'm not sure how much longer we can hold the bridge.

But I've sent a communication to human authorities to clear the immediate area around the entrance on your side.

BUMBLEBEE: Good idea.

We're closing in on their coordinates now.

Hey, Drag Strip, I hid the trailer a couple levels down.

In case those Autobots find us, we'll pick it up later, you know? Ow! Of course I know, Wildbreak.

It was my idea.

FIXIT: The signals remain stationary near your coordinates.

And I cross
-checked their energy signatures with the Cybertronian law enforcement database.

Oddly, their records seem to have been erased.

Some bot must've hacked the database, but these toasters don't seem the hacking type.

Unless they work for someone else.

Sideswipe, Blurr, stay put and make sure no humans enter the structure.

Stay put? Oh, man.

Better charge up your rumblers, buddy.

Aw, gee, we can't b*at all those Autobots.

I can't take this much stress, Drag Strip.

I got a delicate constitution.

I'm gonna rip off your constitution and melt it onto your spoiler if you don't quit messing around.


( whimpers )
But those are a lot of Autobots.

Maybe if there were fewer of us, we'd have some better odds.

Huh? Oh.


( tires screech )

( dramatic theme playing )

( engines rev )
Proceeding to the roof level.

All lower levels clear.


( both grunt )

( grunts )
And away you go.


( dramatic theme playing )

( engines rev )

( all grunt )
Yo, Bee, just chill.

Let Blurr and me handle this in style.


( grunts )
I've got style you haven't even seen.

Watch me nail this double
-decker.


( suspenseful theme playing )

( yells )

( grunts )
Whoa! Whoa! Oh! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa.


( straining )

( laughing )

( grunts )

( straining )
Nice hammer, build
-a
-bot.

But I'm the one who's gonna nail you.

You remind me of my partner, loudmouth.

Only not as smart.

Hold still.


( grunts )
I have this.

But Bee and Blurr could use some help.

Pupils, assist Bumblebee.


( grunts )
Thanks, Drift.

Sideswipe! Hang in there, bro.

Bumblebee, stop trying to be something you are not.

There is a time to be a friend, and a time to be a leader.

I know.

Get the Combiner over to that pillar.

I'll handle the rest.

Pupils, with me.


( action theme playing )

( all grunting )
Huh? Ow! Ow! Why you little Oh! Oh! BUMBLEBEE: Hey!
( chuckles )
Cute.


( groaning )
WILDBREAK: Oh, boy.

Whoa, Bee, you really nailed it.

Them.

Whatever.


( whirring )

( gasps )
Scrud! Bee! Oh, no!
( dramatic theme playing )
BLURR: Whoa.

Whoa.

Strongarm, Grimlock, the 'Cons are in custody.

Regroup at our coordinates.

Whoa!
( all scream )
BUMBLEBEE: Now we're at the same coordinates.

We're just a little lower.

FIXIT: Sir, I'm registering two Stunticon energy signals crossing the bridge at excessive speeds.

And Strongarm and Grim have already left there.

Scrap.

I guess this mission was a bust.

Not a complete bust.

Nice interning, intern.


( dramatic theme playing )
Don't worry, sir, we'll find those Stunticons.

Their stench will give them away.

I'd love to stick around and help, but I better get back to my rescue team before Heatwave blows a gasket.

Oh, man, now who's gonna change my oil in the mornings?
( laughs )
: You'll manage, bro.

Thanks for all the stuff you've taught me.

Especially how a leader stays truly cool when his team needs him most.

SIDESWIPE: No joke.

Sweet style, Bee.


( upbeat theme playing )

( both blowing )
Nailed it.
