RAD:
Hi, my name's Rad,
and I wanna tell you
about the Transformers,
two races of mechanical beings
from another world.
There's the Autobots,
the good guys,
and then there's
the Decepticons,
a bunch of greedy bullies.
They're fighting over a smaller
race of robot called Mini-Cons.
The Mini-Cons crash-landed on
Earth thousands of years ago,
and they're scattered
all over the planet.
The Decepticons want
to enslave them
and use them
to increase their power.
But the Autobots will put
a stop to that evil plan.

( Carlos panting )
Oh, man, this is totally
driving me nuts.
Okay, in here.
Here we go.
( upbeat theme playing )
( door sliding open )
Hmm?
Hey, Rad!
You figured it out yet?
Hey, guys,
I'm working on it.
Oh, man.
Come on, Carlos.
You know these things
take time.
We don't have time.
We gotta do something.
I can't take this!
( High Wire beeping )
OPTIMUS ( laughing ):
So much for patience.
He's certainly anxious.
Huh?
Is this about the girl
on the monitor?
Because she's just
a hologram.
So what?
♪ Transformers ♪
Is she there?
Yeah. See?
CARLOS:
Ah, she's back.
Please listen.
We desperately need your help
immediately.
So where do you think
the signal's coming from?
No clue.
But that girl's obviously
in some kind of trouble.
That's what I've been trying
to tell everyone.
We gotta hurry up
and find her.
RAD:
Hey, are you guys coming
or what?
We're ready to launch.
( chuckling )
Huh?
OPTIMUS:
Final sequence initiated.
All systems go for ignition.
Launch in three, two, one.
HOT SHOT:
We have liftoff.
HOT SHOT:
Yahoo! We're out of here!
( upbeat theme playing )
Hey, guys, check it out.
Do you think it's safe
down here?
I wouldn't worry about it,
Carlos.
The Autobots wouldn't
take us down here if it wasn't.
CARLOS:
Hey, Optimus, that girl wasn't
underwater in her transmission.
So, what are we doing
way down here?
OPTIMUS:
We're honing in
on a Mini-Con signal, Carlos.
Boy, do I ever feel stupid
right now.
I thought
we were going after the girl,
but nobody listens to me.
ALEXIS: There it is!
Huh?
( beeping )
ALEXIS:
And it looks like
we're closing in on it.
It's real close.
Maybe we can spot it.
Yeah.
CARLOS:
Ah. Nothing out here.
Oh, hang on.
( squeaking )
Ah, forget it.
Just a couple of dolphins.
I say this is a waste
of time.
Where'd those dolphins
come from?
I don't know.
Back there, I guess.
Optimus!
OPTIMUS: Right.
We'll set down here, men.
HOT SHOT:
Time for a little recon mission,
Don't wait up for me, boys!
( Hot Shot screams )
Oh, I almost bought it.
ALEXIS:
You okay, Hot Shot?
HOT SHOT:
I've had better days.
Wait! Wait!
You see something?
HOT SHOT: Whoa.
You're not gonna believe
this.
Come on, tell us.
HOT SHOT:
There's a city down here.
Okay, guys,
it's official.
Hot Shot has finally
gone off the deep end.
You serious?
Huh?
CARLOS:
Oh. I don't believe it.
This is totally freaky.
( dramatic theme playing )
It looks like the ruins
of some lost civilization.
Like Atlantis or something.
RAD:
Whoa.
I wonder who built all this.
You think anybody still lives
down here, Rad?
I kind of doubt it.
It looks deserted to me.
My guess is it was built
thousands of years ago,
and over the centuries,
it began to sink
because of the movement
of the Earth's crust.
Hey, guys, you think that girl's
from down here?
( expl*si*n )
( all scream )
( dramatic theme playing )
RED ALERT:
Megatron!
MEGATRON:
Let's give them a warm
Decepticon welcome, men.
They've arrived.
Finish them off.
DECEPTICONS:
Yes, sir!
And you two, find the entrance
to this dump.
( grunting and guffawing )
HOT SHOT:
It's an ambush!
What do we do, sir?
OPTIMUS:
Smokescreen, let's head down
and find the entrance.
Hot Shot and Red Alert,
you back us up.
Transform!
Transform!
Hot Shot,
fire up a flare, stat!
HOT SHOT:
You got it.
( grunting )
( groaning )
Huh? Aah!
( grunting )
( grunts )
It's time to get serious.
OPTIMUS:
Hang on, kids!
( all screaming )
( beeping )
Oh! Wake me
when this is over!
Oh, man. Optimus can't fire back
in vehicle mode
and he can't transform
when we're inside.
CARLOS:
Oh, no, we're sunk!
And how are we supposed
to plug that giant leak?
We're drowned rats!
Huh?
Give me a hand!
Optimus!
OPTIMUS:
Hold your breath.
We're going up.
Aah!
No, wait.
We'll be all right.
Have you lost your mind,
Carlos?
I betcha
that girl's from here.
And if she can survive
underwater,
then there's no reason
why we can't.
OPTIMUS:
Hang tough, kids.
I think I see an entrance
up ahead.
Cover me, Hot Shot.
Don't worry,
I'm already on it, Optimus.
( grunting )
No.
We're doomed.
Come on. Hurry up
and do something, Optimus.
We're running out of time.
Hmm. There you are.
( grunting )
Hurry. This way.
Huh?
Thanks for your help,
metal-head.
Remind me
to destroy you later.
( all gasping and grunting )
( beeping )
OPTIMUS:
I see an air pocket, kids.
( all scream and cough )
OPTIMUS:
We made it.
Huh?
Nice work.
Thanks, Optimus.
See?
What'd I tell you, guys, huh?
Ha! I knew we'd make it.
( rumbling )
( all gasp )
Transform.
Try to find the Mini-Con
while I look after
the Decepticons.
CARLOS:
Consider it done.
RAD:
Let's do it.
High Wire.
RAD & ALEXIS:
Whoa!
( grunts )
Why, you little...
ALEXIS:
No wonder the air's so fresh.
It's like a rain forest
down here.
Hey, what's that?
A fountain.
Why, what's wrong?
No. Can't you feel
the ground shaking?
Ah, it's just
all the Transformers
traipsing around outside.
No, it's not that.
It's like there's something
underneath us.
Don't worry, Rad.
It's probably just the seabed
shifting a little.
Yeah, I agree
with Alexis.
And besides,
we still gotta find that girl.
Forget her,
we're looking for a Mini-Con.
Right.
( loud rumbling )
( all gasp )
( grunting )
After them, men.
( shouting )
( groans )
Huh?
( angelic theme playing )
( indistinct chattering )
What's up?
( beeping )
Whoa.
Welcome.
I've been expecting you.

( gasps then whimpers )
Hmm?
Huh?
( Alexis gasps )
RAD:
What's going on?
ALEXIS:
Everyone here is a hologram.
RAD: A hologram?
ALEXIS: Yeah.
Somehow this civilization
was advanced enough
to preserve its images
in holographic form.
And that girl we saw was--
It's just a hologram.
I hope you're not
disappointed.
No. Of course not.
Yeah, like I'm buying
that one, Rad.
Hey, would you just
get off my case already?
Hmph!
CARLOS: Hey, guys!
Huh?
Over here, and hurry.
Boys. Huh!
What is she talking about?
( beeping )
Uh, they call me Carlos.
So, uh, what's your name?
Huh? What the--?
She's not real,
Carlos.
Wha--?
What are you saying?
GIRL:
He's right.
I come from a great
civilization
that was lost centuries ago
after the arrival
of the Olyhalcons.
But please,
do not be afraid.
This isn't making
any sense to me
( mellow theme playing )
ALEXIS:
A Mini-Con.
GIRL:
Yes.
Mini-Cons,
as you call them,
were the instigators
of a great w*r
that devastated
all my people.
Huh?
One of them
must be the Mini-Con
we detected
on the Autobot's radar.
When the Mini-Cons
joined together,
they became a formidable
sword of fire.
A w*apon
that had no equal.
ALEXIS:
I get it now.
The only way those Mini-Cons
could power up
is when they combined.
GIRL:
Eventually my people found a way
to harness
the Mini-Con's energy
and control it.
It became our one passion,
our obsession.
And eventually it lead us
to battle other civilizations
on continents far away.
The sad truth is it was
the beginning of the end
for my people.
So is she telling the truth?
( beeping )
GIRL:
Why can't people ever learn
that trying to gain power
over everything
always ends
in their own destruction?
We thought the sword
would protect us.
But over time,
we became the enemy
of the entire planet.
Our cities were destroyed,
and our people,
well, they did not survive
our enemies' wrath.
Man, that's harsh.
It became clear
that this was a w*r
we could not win,
and we were resigned
to our fate.
In the end,
our cities were destroyed
and sent to the bottom
of the sea.
RAD:
That's terrible.
I mean,
I never really realized
that the Mini-Cons controlled
so much power on their own.
Our civilization survived
for years,
but just barely.
Huh?
You incompetent oafs.
I thought I asked you
for cover.
Give us a break.
We're fighting underwater.
( grunts )
This just isn't my day.
I am getting sick and tired
of playing this mindless
little game of chess.
Time to bring out
the heavy a*tillery.
Evolution Transformation.
Uh-oh.
Huh?
OPTIMUS:
Smokescreen, be careful.
Don't worry, Optimus,
I'll take care of him
personally.
( grunts )
( grunting )
( guffawing )
My city lay in ruins
here on the ocean floor.
And then,
without any warning,
the Mini-Cons fell
into a dormant state.
( beeping )
Eventually we preserved
our images as holograms
in order to warn
future civilizations
not to disturb
these Mini-Cons,
for fear
that if they ever reunited,
they too would be doomed
to the same fate as ours.
Oh, wow.
There's no way
she's gonna tell us
where those Mini-Cons are.
( expl*si*n )
( both gasp )
( rumbling )
What in the world is going on
out there?
Forget that. We've gotta
find those Mini-Cons.
Hang on, you guys.
Didn't you hear anything
she just told us?
You mean the part she said
about the Mini-Cons
falling into the wrong hands,
Carlos?
We're working for the Autobots,
not the Decepticons.
Yeah, I know, but--
I implore you
to heed my warning.
You do not know the powers
the Mini-Cons possess,
and I must caution you
against finding them.
Please leave here
and forget about them.
It's your only chance
to survive.
( gasps )
Don't make the same mistake
that we have.
Save yourselves
and this planet.
Come on, guys,
let's get out of here.
If you retrieve
the Mini-Cons,
then all that I have done here
has been in vain.
History repeats itself,
and you are doomed.
No. We're not doomed,
and neither are you.
You're coming with us.
Hey, Carlos,
have you lost it?
She's only a hologram.
She doesn't even exist anymore.
What are you talking about,
Alexis?
She's standing
right in front of us.
I get it. Carlo is saying
he wants to save her image.
What do you mean?
I mean we just
make sure
the Decepticons don't destroy
the holograms.
( crashing )
( all gasp )
( laughing )
Is that the scent of a Mini-Con
I smell in here?
( both gasping )
Hmm?
( rock theme playing )
Oh, so you pathetic
little runts
think you can g*ng up on me,
do you?
( grunts )
Mini-Cons, stand down.
Oh, no.
We're surrounded.
Do some damage,
Optimus!
( grunting )
Listen, Leader One,
search out the Mini-Cons
while I take care
of this outdated circuit board.
Be warned that you retrieve them
at your own peril.
( action theme playing )
( beeping )
You lose, Prime.
Huh?
( Cyclonus snickering )
( Megatron laughs )
( all whimpering )
The mistake you're about to make
can never be reversed.
Interesting. This is one
of those Mini-Cons
who will remain dormant
while of one its own--
( rumbling )
( grunts )
( grunts)
An earthquake!
Aah!
Megatron.
Our work here is done.
Retreat.
( guffawing )
Ooh, I'd love to stick around
and chitchat, Autobots,
but it looks like this party
is about to crash.
( laughs )
Come on, we've gotta get
out of here.
Transform.
Get in, kids.
( engine revs )
Hey, Carlos.
Now what?
The mistake
you're about to make
can never be reversed.
I'm sorry.
I really wish
we could have helped you.
Come on, Carlos, forget her.
She's just a hologram.
Hello.
Reality check, Carlos.
We've gotta get out of here,
fast.
So forget about her.
I can't just leave her.
( grunting )
RED ALERT:
We're running out of time.
Huh?
( whimpering )
You coming or what, Carlos?
( groans )
( tender theme playing )
See you around, kid.
( ominous theme playing )
( Megatron laughing )
Gentlemen, do you realize
the significance
of our victory today?
We have captured
one of most
powerful Mini-Con
combinations in the universe.
So Megatron only captured
one of the three Mini-Cons
that have to combine
to form the sword?
Yes. He still needs
the other two.
Which would be our demise.
Yeah. That means
we're gonna have our work
cut out for us
trying to get to them first.
Yeah, no kidding.
( beeping )
I know.
I've never seen Carlos and Rad
go so gaga over a girl.
( hawk screams )
Hey, Carlos. I think I know
how you feel, buddy.
And it's okay, really.
It doesn't matter.
You just gotta remember
she was only a hologram.
She doesn't really exist.
You do understand that,
don't you, Carlos?
Yeah.
Good.
You got to admit,
she did look real.
At least to me she did.
And I guess I let my heart
get in the way of my head.
Yeah. When you think about it,
she did look pretty lifelike.
Even when you got up close
she was.
Did you think
she was good-looking?
Uh, sure, I guess.
Hey, you know what?
I bet she was a princess.
No question.
( laughs )
A princess, definitely.
And when she grew up
she became their queen.
( laughs )
You got quite
the imagination, buddy.
( chuckles )
I don't think
I'll ever forget her.
Yeah.
And maybe one day
we'll see her again.
Huh?
I got a feeling
her hologram still exists.
And maybe one day
it'll come to the surface.
Yeah. It could happen,
couldn't it?
RAD:
Hey, forget about her.
What about us?
Buds for life, right?
CARLOS:
Buds for life.
BOTH:
Yeah.
