01x30 - Runaway

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR:

The w*r between the Autobots

and the Decepticons rages on,

and the Earth's only chance

for a peaceful cosmos

is for Optimus Prime

and the Autobots

to destroy their enemy.

Now get ready

for a new battle...

( Transformers theme playing )

♪ Transformers ♪

NARRATOR:

The epic battle between the

Autobots and the Decepticons

has taken a new turn.

The appearance

of the Requiem Blaster

has raised the stakes

for both warring parties.

Optimus Prime has possession

of the w*apon.

Megatron knows this could spell

defeat for the Decepticons

but only if the Autobots

can figure out how to control

the most powerful w*apon

in the universe.

( Transformers theme playing )

♪ Transformers ♪

MEGATRON:

Optimus Prime may have

the Requiem Blaster

but I'm not beaten yet.

( laughing )

That's the way.

Make me invincible.

Why is Megatron working

the Mini-Cons so hard?

Well, I guess

he wants a tune-up!

He needs it!

( laughing sarcastically )

He has to prove

he's still in charge.

Everything is going

as planned, Megatron.

Do not fail me,

Thrust.

Yes, sir. I am aware

that the Requiem Blaster

could change the course

of the w*r.

Hmm. If we can get

our hands on it,

we'll be able to settle

the score with the Autobots

once and for all.

It's important that

we achieve this,

then we can begin

the domination of the universe.

( laughing )

Oh!

THRUST:

Look!

Your guardian star

is very bright tonight, sir.

I believe it might

actually swallow up

every other star around it.

This must surely be a sign that

you will crush the Autobots,

conquer the universe

and lead the Decepticons

back to Planet Cybertron.

As long as Optimus Prime

still has the Requiem Blaster,

your words mean nothing.

Get it for me...and I will see

that you reap rewards

far beyond anything

you can imagine.

You can count on me,

Megatron.

ALEXIS:

Ever since Optimus

brought the Requiem Blaster

back to the base,

its caused a lot

of arguments among

the rest of the Autobots.

But, why?

You saw it's power!

If we use

the Requiem Blaster,

it will give us the upper hand

to defeat the Decepticons!

All right, let's do it,

Optimus.

If you want,

I'll take care of them myself

by getting

into their base, okay?

BLURR:

Even if we were to charge

into the Decepticon base,

and we do suffer damages

because of it,

I still think it's worth it

to use the Requiem Blaster.

I agree with Blurr.

This is a gift!

Lets do it,

Optimus.

We can get rid of the

Decepticons in one fell swoop!

It makes sense.

Optimus,

your call.

( growling softly )

( bleeping sounds )

Sh! Stay quiet

or else we'll get caught.

Rad, do you really think

we should be doing this?

Don't worry about it.

Were actually doing these

Mini-Cons a big favor.

You see,

they don't want to fight

but if they stay here they might

end up being used as weapons.

Hey, Rad, keep it down.

We're on the run, remember?

FRED: Boy!



Oh!

Hey, you guys.

You guys, over here!



Hey Rad, how's it going?

Hey.

( camera beeping )

What are you

up to now, Thrust?

I'm accessing something

the humans on Earth use

to track objects

on their planet.

It's called a satellite

and I think I can find

those Mini-Cons with it.

Ha! So humans are good

for something after all.

That's news to me!

If you don't want

the Autobots to target you

with the Requiem Blaster

then I suggest you help me

with this search!

What?



We'll get right on it!

Remember, it's too risky

to go after them directly.

We have to keep a close eye

on them and wait

for the perfect opportunity.

( chuckling )

I understand how you all feel.

Then well do it?



Before I make my final decision

I want to talk to the Mini-Cons

that create the Requiem Blaster.

What?



Sparkplug,

go get the Mini-Cons

for me.

( bleeping sounds )

( bleeping sounds )

What's the matter now?

Guh!

Does anyone know what this

Mini-Con is talking about?

( bleeping sounds )

What? He just said

the Mini-Cons are gone!

( Optimus gasping )

Come to think of it,

I haven't seen the kids

around today either.

OPTIMUS:

Then let's move out

and find them.

FEMALE: ( over p.a. ):

The bus headed

for Central City

will be leaving

from Platform .

All tickets holders, please

line up at Platform now.

( sobbing )

You sure have been writing

for a long time, Fred.

Uh...I'm just doodling.

Show me!



Huh? Uh-uh!

Oh.



Now, let's see...

"Dear Mom,

I just want to thank you

'for all the great food you've

made for me over the years.

'I especially enjoyed

your spaghetti and meatballs.

'The sauce was a haunting blend

of herb and spices,

'and the things you can do

with a pot roast

'are truly inspirational.

Yours truly.

Your son, Fred."

I'll never eat that good again.



Gimme a break!

Come on, its not like were

running away or anything.

Once the Mini-Cons are safe,

we'll be on our way back home.



Really?

Back in time for supper?

Sweet!

Fred, only you could write

a love letter about food.

( Fred giggling )

GIRL:

What a day.

I'm really beat.

( growling and barking )

Would you stop that?

I'm really sorry.



( bleeping sounds )

Hey, you must be

from out of town, right?

( low bleeping sounds )

( bleeping sounds )

Wow! I've never heard

of a place like that.

Say it again, okay?

( bleeping sounds )

Oh, my!

Your voice...it's cute!

There now...

Nice, Sally.

( dog snarling )

You want a biscuit?

( bleeping sounds )

Wow!

You sure have big hands.

I bet you're into karate.

Am I right?

( dog barking )

I got the tickets... Huh?

( gasps )

Oh, no,

you don't

Sorry, Miss,

he's on a diet!

Hey, our bus

is leaving!

See ya!

Huh?

RAD:

Whew!

That was a close call.

Man, that could have really

blown our cover.

Hey, why didn't you guys

keep an eye on him?

Sorry.



It's Fred's fault.

He was

writing down recipes.

Hey!

That is a lie!

We better hurry

and get on the bus.

Guys,

it's over this way.

( thumping heavily )

They're not on the second level.



Or D Block either!

Well, we've searched

the whole base. Hmm.

But where could

they have gone?

This is no time to be playing

hide and seek!

I know they wouldn't do that

without telling us first.

OPTIMUS: That means...



That the Mini-Cons are gone.

Optimus, sir?



We'll search in the city.

Hot Shot, Blurr,

I want you two

to maintain constant

radio contact.

Yes, sir!



Yes, sir!

OPTIMUS:

Autobots,

anything to report?

No sign of them,

Optimus.

There's nothing

in my area either.

Maybe they're not

in this town anymore.

They have to be here.

They couldn't have

traveled far.

JETFIRE:

Aw!

This is so boring!

I don't know why I have

to watch the base.

I could have

found them on my own!

You'd stand out

too much.

And we cant afford to let

the people of this planet

find out our identities yet.

So for the time being,

you'll have to learn

to blend in the way I have.

What is he talking about?

He stands out

way more than I do!

( radar bleeping )

THRUST:

It's Optimus Prime!

Why is he traveling

the highway on his own?

Hmm...he must be

up to something.

( bleeping sounds )

Oh,

that store?

That's where we humans go

and buy the food that we eat.

( bleeping sounds )

Oh, and look!

That's a baseball field.

I'll teach you

how to play sometime.

( bleeping sounds )

Hah! They really

like to learn.

Ask me a question

if you want... Huh?

HOT SHOT:

That's them,

all right.

I found them!

Where are they?

They're on a bus,

and they're headed out of town.

So the kids snuck the

Mini-Cons out on us after all.

Looks that way.



Why would they do that?

To teach us a lesson?

Let's not worry about that now.

Let's just catch up with them.

( railroad bell ringing )

Aww!

I was so close!

Let me through!

( railroad bell ringing

continues )

Aw, come on!

( train horn blaring )

HOT SHOT: Wait!

Uh...Optimus?

THRUST:

Hmm? Now Optimus

is following that bus.

Could it be?

♪ Transformers ♪

OPTIMUS:

I have

the Mini-Cons in sight.

I'll be there soon,

I hope.

How long

is this train anyway?

Sorry, Optimus,

I'm stuck in traffic.

( whistle blowing )

No.

Well, that's not

going to happen to me.

I'll stick

to the side streets.

( horns honking )

Until we can all meet up,

it's up to Optimus

to catch that bus.

( coughing )

Gimme a break!

You want to hide the

Mini-Cons in a cornfield?

You bet.



BILLY: Why?

( laughing )

ALEXIS:

We're going over there, silly.

CARLOS:

Hey, Alexis,

how much farther is it?

We're almost there.

Come on!



Oh...I'm so hungry!

That's it.

( banging on door )

Ugh!

FRED:

Oh! It's not exactly

the Grand Hotel, is it!

ALEXIS:

Come on,

with a little TLC,

this place will be

as good as new!

Well, how many years

is that gonna take?

I know it's off the beaten path,

but it's the perfect spot

to hide the Mini-Cons

until things cool off

It's the perfect spot

for a little snack!

Who wants waffles?

All I need now

is an electrical outlet.

Uh, Fred, there's

no electricity in this place.

No way! That means

I can't make my waffles.

Here's a thought...

Zip it!

Guys, we've got more important

things to think about than food.

( tin cans rattling )

You get it?

If anyone comes around,

they'll rattle these cans.

If you hear that,

run for cover, okay?

( bleeping sounds )

This should do the trick.

If you see someone reflected in

this mirror, go run and hide.

( bleeping sounds )

Oh, no!

ALEXIS:

These windows are too dirty

to see through.

We've got some work to do.

BILLY:

Ah!

There we go.

Now the Mini-Cons can hide

in the rafters if they want to.

Great! Let's eat!

Whoa!

Whoopsie.

( grunting )

You know what?

With all this wood,

we could heat up the stove

and have a hot meal!

BILLY: Hey! Check this out!



Huh?

What's going on?

Hey.

( chuckles )

Cool.

I'm Billy the Kid,

the baddest dude in the West.

CARLOS:

Where'd you get that hat?

From over there.

And there's a big pile

of stuff!

CARLOS:

No way! Cool!

Huh?



Huh?

Hey, Thrust,

how much longer

are you gonna keep up

the surveillance?

If I don't go

into battle soon,

I'll forget

how to use my weapons.

Huh?

Where did he go?

He left without me.

CARLOS:

The sky seems

so big out here!

ALEXIS:

I know.

It's so peaceful

and serene out here.

RAD:

It's like were all stuck in

a big beautiful dream, isn't it?

( bleeping sounds )

Yeah, I know.

It's not a dream,

were a long way from home.

( bleeping sounds )

( bleeping sounds )

It looks like

they're having fun.

When Rad told me his plan

to take the Mini-Cons away,

at first I didn't want

to do it,

but now that I see

they're having a good time,

I think we did the right thing.

Hey, are you guys

as hungry as I am?

Fred, the only thing

you think about is food.

Yeah, how come the only thing

you want to do is eat?

Just chill out.

I'm a growing boy

and I need my nourishment.

( laughing )



( tin cans rattling )

Who is that?

( gasps )

Oh, no,

it's Thrust!

How did he find out

where we are?

( laughing )

I knew I was right.

So it was the Mini-Cons

that created

THRUST:

the Requiem Blaster

on that bus after all.

Come with me, Mini-Cons,

we've got work to do.

Move it!

Hey,

wait for me!

Now look at that!

Do they really think

they can hide from me?

ALEXIS:

Here he comes.

Nobody make a sound.

FRED:

I can't stop

my knees from knocking!

( wood splintering )

Huh?



Huh?

Ah!

There you are!

Oh!

Run, guys!

Get out of here now!

( kids panting )

( laughing )

Hmm.

Those kids are smarter

than they look.

This little chase

could be a lot of fun.

We're done for.



Hang on!

Ready...push!

What...?...

Oh...

Oh!

( growling )

( in unison )

Bingo!

You little punks!

Now!



Now!

Help!



Help! Somebody.

Just let go!

Let go?



Let go?

What a drag!



What a drag!

I'll squash you,

little insects!

( screaming )

( grunting )

Huh... Whoa...

FRED:

Oh, I hate running

on an empty stomach!

Right,

going up!

( bleeping sounds )

( growling angrily )

They obviously know nothing

about strategy.

They should have split up!

Now,

I've got them

all trapped in the same place!

( grimacing in pain )

( bleeping sounds )

What a shot!



Thanks.

I taught him

everything he knows!

And who taught you?



You...I guess.

I've been holding back

but from now on

I'm not going

to go easy on you.

You troublemakers

have pushed me too far.

Now it's time

for you to pay!

( yelling )

Run for it!

There's no way out!

We're trapped!

I want my mommy!

Oh, man,

it's hopeless!

The Autobots

don't know we're here!

( laughing maniacally )

Hand over those Mini-Cons

right now!

( gasping in fear )

( laughing maniacally )

Any last words?

( horn honking )

Huh?

Whoa!

( Transformers theme playing )

Transform!

Optimus!



He found us!

We've been saved!



We've been saved!

Is everyone all right?

Yeah.

Uh-hmm.

I want those Mini-Cons!



You can't have them,

Thrust, because I know what

you want to use them for!

I think I know how

to change your mind!

Transform!

Launch!

( grunting )

You're history, Optimus.

Whoa...

Transform!

Where did he go?

Right here!

Optimus Super Mode!

Transform!

This can't...

Let's go, Thrust.

( stammering )

N-Next time, Optimus.

Next time!

RAD:

Hey, Optimus...

We're...uh...sorry.

( horns honking )

Transform!

Transform!



Transform!

Transform!

Oh, great!

We missed all the fun!

Why did you guys

run away on us?

Do you know how worried

we were about you?

We really didn't mean

any harm.

We just felt sorry

for the Mini-Cons.

You felt sorry for them?

RAD:

Well, sometimes

it seems like you only see

the Mini-Cons as tools.

I know you want to use them to

end the w*r with the Decepticons

but some of them don't want

to be involved at all.

Do you understand?

OPTIMUS:

Rad, I promise no Mini-Con

will ever have to fight

if he doesn't want to.

Are you sure?

They could be our only chance

to get rid of the Decepticons.

You're right!

Our goal is to rid the universe

of the Decepticons.

But if we use these Mini-Cons

against their will,

then were no better

than our enemies.

Don't forget the Decepticons

are holding a lot of Mini-Cons

against their will.

Right.

So the only way we're

gonna beat the Decepticons

is with teamwork.

Yeah, teamwork!

Mm-hm.

We can do it.

Thank you, Optimus.



Yes.

Huh?

Put her there, pal.

( laughing )

ALEXIS:

So it really didn't matter

that Rad's plan

to hide the Mini-Cons

didn't work.

At least Optimus

and the other Autobots

have a better understanding

of how the Mini-Cons feel.

I'm glad were going home.



Yeah.

ALEXIS:

And the one thing

I learned from all of this

is that one day, Rad's

going to be a great leader.
