RAD:
Hi. My name is Rad,
and I wanna 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.
♪ Transformers ♪
For me, it started out
like any other normal day.
But then again, how many
other kids are surrounded
by giant Transformers
from the planet Cybertron?
( upbeat theme playing )
RAD:
You can't catch me.
HOT SHOT:
Hey, you guys, slow down.
My circuits are overheating.
( Alexis & Rad shrieking )
CARLOS:
I'll see you
back at the tree house.
( panting )
Oh, boy.
I don't like this game Tag.
Hey, Jolt, I need your help!
It's your turn to be it.
Whoa! You nuts?
Ha-ha. I think I'm starting
to get the hang of this.
CARLOS:
Hey, put me down,
you overgrown egg-beater.
You're it, Carlos.
Hot Shot, knock it off.
We've got plenty of work to do
around here.
Hey, can't a 'Bot have
a little fun around here?
RED ALERT:
Not when I'm stuck
doing all your work
for the last two hours.
I'm really not in the mood
to argue now, Red Alert.
I'll get my work done,
don't you worry.
OPTIMUS:
What's going on here?
Ah, nothing sir.
Nothing at all.
We were just talking, sir.
Just talking, that's all.
OPTIMUS:
Well, let's get back to work.
We don't have much time.
Hey, Rad.
What's up with Optimus?
BOTH:
Huh?
( slow theme playing )
ALEXIS:
I guess the Autobots
are in a hurry
to save the Mini-Cons.
And I get a weird feeling
that something big
is about to happen,
which means the Decepticons
can't be too far away.
♪ Transformers ♪
( action theme playing )
So any ideas
what the big secret is, Rad?
No clue.
But I guess we really
should get out of their hair.
HOT SHOT:
Sorry about that back there.
Red Alert's a little uptight,
that's all.
ALEXIS:
Well, maybe it's because
he's working / .
OPTIMUS:
And because of it,
Red Alert has single-handedly
made our base functional.
But he's
the chief science officer.
Besides,
you know I was designed
to be strictly a warrior,
not a janitor.
Listen to me, Hot Shot.
Even warriors have to prepare
for battle.
So, what are you saying?
ALL:
Huh?
Red Alert and I have fought
many battles together, Hot Shot.
And long before
you were reassigned,
we won those battles
because he had done
his homework.
It's not glamorous,
but it's essential.
Hey, don't worry.
I'm ready.
ALL:
Whoa.
( alarm blaring )
( all gasp )
OPTIMUS:
That's the Mini-Con signal.
It looks like we're about
to get busy.
I'm ready, sir.
Then let's do this.
Men, prepare to launch.
( upbeat theme playing )
Transform.
Transform.
Transform.
OPTIMUS:
Fasten your seatbelts, kids,
because we're warping
to the Antarctic.
OPTIMUS:
Red Alert, Hot Shot.
Lock in coordinates now.
Begin final launch sequence.
RED ALERT & HOT SHOT:
Launch sequence engaged.
OPTIMUS:
Ignition.
I'm right behind you.
And we have lift off.
( upbeat theme playing )
DEMOLISHER:
Megatron, we've just detected
Mini-Con activity
on our scanner.
Let's just make sure
we get there
before those Autobots do.
DEMOLISHER & CYCLONUS:
Yes, sir.
Hmm. Where on Earth
is Starscream?
He probably took off on his own
to get the Mini-Con
because he's the only one left
without one.
( all laughing )
Yeah,
but Starscream's so dumb,
he won't know where to look
for him.
MEGATRON:
Silence, you simpletons.
Oh.
( laughing maniacally )
Huh?
Go out
and capture that Mini-Con.
Now, get moving.
( upbeat theme playing )
( penguins tweeting)
( truck approaching )
Oh, man, it's freezing.
Don't worry, Carlos.
As long as we're wearing
these suits, we'll be fine.
Hey, guys,
check out the penguins.
Hmm.
RAD: Whoa. I never thought
the South Pole
would be this awesome.
CARLOS:
Yeah, it's like a regular zoo
in a freezer.
( ominous theme playing )
MEGATRON:
Spread out, men.
That Mini-Con is here
somewhere.
( tires screech )
ALEXIS:
I wonder why we're stopping.
( siren wailing )
CARLOS:
I hope they didn't freeze up.
Hey, Hot Shot,
what's going on?
Is everything okay? Huh?
OPTIMUS:
Nothing to worry about.
I've just detected
a small drive system failure.
( upbeat theme playing )
( all groan )
Cargo bay, open.
( all gasping )
( thudding )
Wicked cool.
What did he transform into?
Hey, it's a portable
command center.
RAD:
Boy, if I hadn't seen him
transform with my own eyes,
I wouldn't have believed it.
ALEXIS:
This should make the job
a little easier.
CARLOS:
And look, it's even got
a chopper pad and everything.
( beeping )
Let's scope it out, guys.
Hey, wait up, Carlos.
( laughing )
( action theme playing )
RED ALERT:
I think I've pinpointed
the glitch, sir.
OPTIMUS:
Good work, Red Alert.
What was the problem
with the CPU?
RED ALERT:
It seems the cold
on this continent
has caused a glitch.
HOT SHOT:
Come on, come on already,
we're wasting time.
OPTIMUS:
Settle down, Hot Shot.
We're not leaving here
until I'm back online again.
HOT SHOT:
Oh, great.
And I suppose we just let
Megatron collect the Mini-Con?
RED ALERT:
Ready to reboot, sir.
Hope it's not serious.
Hey, Rad, I'm gonna ask them
how much longer, okay?
Huh?
RAD:
Hey, wait a sec.
I'm coming with you, bud.
What about me?
I think that should do it,
sir.
OPTIMUS:
Good work, Red Alert.
Let's round up the kids
and move out.
CARLOS:
Hey, Red Alert.
So, what's the plan?
We're ready to roll.
Come on, Hot Shot,
let's do this.
HOT SHOT:
Hey, would you get off my case?
I've been ready
for an hour already.
No cold is gonna stop me
from maximum power.
Don't be so sure.
HOT SHOT:
Not that I don't trust you,
but I better check
just to make sure.
( engine revving )
OPTIMUS:
Hey, there's no need for that.
What's with all the attitude,
Hot Shot? Hmm?
Actually, he's smart
to check his hard drive out.
Hey, Hot Shot,
I'm coming with you.
Hey, man, wait up.
HOT SHOT:
Get in. We're already
behind the eight ball.
Time to track down
one Mini-Con.
Hang on, Carlos,
we're gonna make tracks.
( tires screeching )
HOT SHOT: Ah, nuts.
I knew I should've
brought along snow tires.
OPTIMUS:
Remember to be careful
out there.
HOT SHOT:
Whatever.
Whoa.
Wonder what his problem is.
CARLOS:
Uh, hey, Hot Shot.
Is something going on
between you and Red Alert?
HOT SHOT: Nope.
Ah.
You know, I don't think it's
a good idea if we go too far.
I mean, I don't wanna get stuck
out in the middle of nowhere.
HOT SHOT:
Yeah. Well, we'd be lost
out here forever.
Huh? Are you serious?
HOT SHOT:
Heh. I'm just messing with you.
Relax, everything's gonna be
just fine.
In that case, bro,
light it up.
It's pedal to the metal time,
Hot Shot.
( Hot Shot guffawing )
( Carlos whooping )
( action theme playing )
( Starscream grunting )
Impossible.
I've searched everywhere
and still nothing.
Megatron, sir, look.
It's Starscream
at o'clock high.
I told you
we'd find him here.
Follow him, men.
He may be onto something.
HOT SHOT:
I'm locking onto a faint signal,
Carlos,
and it looks like it's coming
from dead ahead.
Look, the ocean.
HOT SHOT:
I guess we'll have
to head back.
There's no way I'm going
into that oversized bathtub
full of ice cubes.
Yeah, okay.
Oh, and hey, Hot Shot.
You mind cranking up
the heat in here a touch?
It's cold.
( action theme playing )
Huh? What was that?
Yes.
I've locked on and I'm going in.
You're all mine, Mini-Con.
Bingo. My very own Mini-Con.
Ha, ha. Huh? What's this?
An Autobot?
Sorry, bad boy,
but you're going down.
( Starscream guffawing )
CARLOS:
Incoming.
( Carlos & Hot Shot scream )
Time for a little strafe
and run.
I'm locked on.
CARLOS:
Whoa.
( screaming )
HOT SHOT:
Hang on, Carlos.

CARLOS:
Hot Shot, look.
HOT SHOT:
The Mini-Con.
CARLOS & HOT SHOT:
Whoa.
CARLOS:
Oh, no, he's back.
HOT SHOT:
Don't worry,
this showdown will be over
before you know it.
DEMOLISHER:
Megatron, look. The Mini-Con.
CYCLONUS:
But no sign of Starscream.
So where is that jack-head
anyway?
Forget him.
Just make sure
no one get their hands
on that Mini-Con.
( action theme playing )
( wind blowing )
( beeping )
What's that?
I'd say it looks like
a Mini-Con.
There's no time to waste.
We have to investigate.
What about Carlos?
I'm sure
they'll be all right.
You three wait here.
I'll go in for a look.
Yeah, okay.
Sure.
Transform.
( action theme playing )
Too late, Autobot,
I was here first,
and that Mini-Con
is all mine.
Sorry, but my job's
to keep the Mini-Cons
out the hands
of Decepticons like you.
( snickering )
Tough talk,
but you're outnumbered.
Look behind you.
CARLOS:
Huh? Holy smokes, Hot Rod.
We're surrounded.
We gotta vamoose
or we're cooked. Let's go.
HOT SHOT:
Hang on, I've got an idea.
( chuckles )
Are you nuts?
Oh, no.
( grunts )
( screaming )
Huh?
You disappoint me again,
Starscream.
You're pathetic.
But-- But, Megatron, I--
Enough of your petty excuses.
DEMOLISHER:
I say it serves him right
for trying to be a one-man army.
CYCLONUS:
Now he's just a pile
of trash.
MEGATRON:
That's enough. We've got
a Mini-Con to capture.
HOT SHOT:
Well, boys, it's been a slice.
CYCLONUS:
He's getting away.
Not on my watch.
RAD:
I see something over that ridge.
Hot Shot's under attack.
RED ALERT:
Don't worry,
he knows what he's doing.
( both guffawing )
( screaming )
Here we go again.
HOT SHOT:
Transform.
( Carlos screaming )
Huh?
( Carlos whimpering )
( Cyclonus cackles )
I guess that takes care
of your little friend.
Now it's your turn.
Laser Pulse Attack.
( Hot Shot grunts )
( all grunting )
( grunting )
( grunting )
( grunts )
( gasps )
Huh?
I need that extra power.
You two,
find a place to hide.

RAD:
Alexis, you wait here,
understand?
I'm going after Carlos.
No,
I'm coming with you, Rad.
( panting )
( snickering )
Oh, let me finish him off,
Megatron.
He's all yours, Cyclonus.
( grunting )
( Cyclonus guffawing )
CYCLONUS:
Hello.
Bye-bye.
( Cyclonus grunts )
( panting )
HOT SHOT:
Red Alert. Thanks, pal.
Doing my job
and nothing more.
I hope you like pain.
( grunts )
Pardon me,
but it's your move, friend.
Hey, don't worry about me,
Red Alert,
just take him out.
Grr.
You are so finished,
bolts for brains.
Nobody sneaks up on me
from behind
and gets away with it, ever,
understand?
( groaning )
So, then,
what is he worth to you?
( grunting )
DEMOLISHER:
Aw. What's the matter?
Too scared you might hurt
your little friend?
Then how about showing me
what you've got?
CYCLONUS:
Sorry, you missed. Ha.
( grunts )
Huh?
HOT SHOT:
Transform.
Are you okay?
Ha. Never better.
( laughs )
( laughs )
I'll show those two.
Just twitch
and you're toast.
( pants )
( Demolisher laughing )
Go ahead, boys,
give me a reason.
Huh?
Huh?

( grunts )
Retreat.
Oh, no.
I forgot about Carlos.
( rumbling )
( expl*si*n )
( ominous theme playing )
( Starscream grunting )
Yes,
soon I'll have my very own pet.
Just hang in there, Carlos,
okay?
( grunting )
What about the Mini-Con?
RAD:
Hey, one thing at a time, bud.

( Rad & Carlos grunting )

( all whimpering )
( suspenseful theme playing )

( snickering )
Yes.

ALEXIS:
Hey, I wonder what this Mini-Con
will look like.
RAD:
Your guess
is as good as mine, Alexis.
( whirring )
CARLOS: Whoa, check it out.
Amazing.
ALL:
Whoa.
I guess I owe you an apology,
Red Alert.
You don't owe me anything.
We're on the same team,
remember?
I know I said
some pretty harsh things before,
and I'm really sorry, okay?
You don't have to do this,
you know that.
Optimus told me
before we left
that you were an awesome warrior
back on Cybertron.
( slow theme playing )
( chuckling )
So are you.
( chuckles )
Hmm.
RAD ( narrating ):
That was quite the lesson
Hot Shot learned that day.
And I guess we all learned
how to work together as a team
after that.
ALEXIS:
It was nice to see
the two of them
finally getting along.
And, sure, there would be
more battles ahead
to test their metal,
but for right now,
let's just enjoy the moment.
