REPORTER:
Reports are coming in
from all over the planet.
Some kind of robotic creatures
have filled the skies
over Earth.
No one seems to know
what they want,
if they're friends or foes,
but many people are questioning
whether this is some kind
of alien invasion!
[PEOPLE CLAMORING]
GENERAL:
Move into position and set up
a perimeter, men!
No one do anything hostile
unless we're att*cked first.
I don't want to be
the one responsible
for starting a battle
with those, those things!
Dig deep and find your courage,
men!
This may be
humanity's last stand!
STARSCREAM:
These humans
are so self-centered.
They're so sure that I'm here
to snuff them out,
but I could care less
about them.
I'm only interested
in using these Decepticons
to get my hands
on that Cyber Planet Key.
Then I'll be one step closer
to ruling this entire universe.
[GRUNTING]
Come on!
I have to get in there!
Optimus needs me!
[PANTING]
Well, this is getting me
nowhere fast.
Wait.
Maybe I just need more power!
Primus,
I really need your help now.
Now that's more like it!
All right, say goodbye, ice.
Jetfire! Wait, don't fire!
Red Alert?!
OVERRIDE: What about us?
What are we, chopped Energon?
It's great to see all of you.
Why shouldn't I
blast this debris?!
I can't believe I'm being
the voice of caution,
but you'll cause this whole
cavern to collapse!
Trust me, that's not good.
You're right.
We're back where we started:
stuck here.
We're not defeated yet.
It'll be hard,
but we can dig through.
RED ALERT: We need your help.
You're right.
I'm in! Let's go!
COBY:
I can't believe this!
How can we battle
that many Decepticons?!
No incidents of v*olence from
the machines have been reported,
but tensions continue to build.
Everyone is imagining
the worst that could happen.
And the worst
could be very bad.
There must be
something we can do.
You'd better believe there is.
We're not giving up.
But we need Optimus
and the others back!
Don't worry.
They'll be back.
I hope so...
Come on, guys!
Put your backs into it!
HOTSHOT:
What do you think
we've been doing!
Who are we kidding?
We're not getting anywhere.
And my hands...
Mine are freezing too.
Yeah.
What choice do we have?
We can't give up. The whole
universe is at stake!
Pain or not, we continue.
[ALL GRUNT]
We must find
that Cyber Planet Key
before the Autobots!
You can ignore
these pathetic humans,
but if any get in your way,
feel free to crush them
like the bugs they are.
Now go, my minions!
Transform into Seeker Ships
and find that key!
[DECEPTICONS YELLING
INDISTINCTLY]
[♪♪♪]
With Optimus Prime out of
the way, nothing can stop me!
The entire Earth
will tremble before me!
[CACKLING]
TRAFFIC LIGHT:
This just keeps
getting worse and worse.
There's gotta be
something we can do!
Like what?!
You have any ideas?
No, not really.
Where's Optimus
when we need him?
I bet he'd know
how to handle this!
We'd better prepare for whatever
att*ck Starscream has planned.
But all those Decepticons...
How can we battle them?!
I'm not so sure Starscream's
even planning an att*ck!
It seems like he's devoting
all his energy
to finding the Cyber Planet Key.
Hm.
We may have to force a battle,
even if he doesn't want one.
Are you serious?!
No offense,
but there's no way
we could stand up
to a force like his!
What choice do we have?
We have to stop Starscream from
getting the Cyber Planet Key.
Whatever it takes.
Yeah, but...
What can we do?
Our team isn't even complete!
LORI [THINKING]:
I wish Professor Suzuki
were here.
I bet she'd have some great
ideas about what to do!
And we sure could use
some of those,
'cause right now,
we've got nothing!
FRANKLIN:
Look, Dr. Suzuki,
it's a very simple proposal.
You tell me what you know,
and I'll share with you
what we have.
Hmm...
Well, Doctor...?
How do I know
I can trust you?
I mean, you did drag me
into this place.
Who knows
what you plan to do?
You'd rather trust the machines
flying over our cities?!
Nobody told me anything,
how am I supposed to know
who to trust?!
But maybe if you let me look at
your classified reports first,
I'd be more willing to talk.
I'm sorry, I can't allow that.
Then we're back
where we started!
You have to trust me.
You haven't told me your name!
My name is Franklin.
I work for an unnamed division
of the government.
That's all you need to know,
doctor.
Oh, really?
I'm so glad you're here to make
that decision for me.
I'm going to need
more than that, buddy!
All right,
I've had enough of this!
I know you know something!
[WHIMPERS]
Come here, take a look at this.
These were taken shortly
before this recent invasion.
Mm. How'd you get these?
Doesn't it seem convenient
that we saw them
right before the invasion?
They could have been sent to
prepare the way for the others.
[THINKING]
Hmm. Is it possible?
Could the ones I met have just
been pretending to be nice?
I hope those children are okay!
Whew! This is
further than I remembered.
But it's worth it.
We gotta keep this place hidden.
What a fool. He doesn't even
know I'm following!
Finally!
Now to get what I came for...
Of course, before I do that,
I gotta make sure
no one's around.
Looks good!
[♪♪♪]
Come on, open up.
Finally!
Evac!
Whew. Man,
this is a lot of stairs.
[THINKING]
Has this buffoon really led me
to the location
of the Cyber Planet Key?!
Man,
I think I just hit the jackpot!
Hey, Evac! I'm here. Huh?
What's going on, Evac?!
He's not even here!
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
[GASPS]
Evac! I'm glad you're okay.
I was worried.
Yeah, I'm glad to see you too,
Smokescreen.
Where you been?
I'll tell you later.
We've got trouble!
It's too bad.
What?
I mean it's too bad
you had to bring
an unwanted guest
along with you.
Right here!
Uh-oh. My cover!
You?! What do you think
you're doing here?!
Me? Why, I was just leaving!
Two against one are not
the kind of odds I like.
Transform!
[♪♪♪]
See ya, chumps! I'm outta here!
You're not getting away
that easily!
Cyber Key Power!
Try outrunning these!
Don't have to outrun 'em,
if I dodge 'em!
But you can't dodge me!
No, but you
I can outrun.
Never!
What are you doing here?
What do you want?
Sorry, if I told you,
then I'd have to tell everyone,
and it wouldn't be
much of a secret.
Smart aleck. Smokescreen,
you got anything for me?
SMOKESCREEN:
I heard someone say something
about a Cyber Planet Key.
Oh, so that's it.
Sorry,
but you're way off base.
What you're looking for
isn't here.
Then where is it? Tell me!
I'm sorry, but if I told you...
I'd have to tell everybody.
But I do have something
for you...
That's it. If you're not going
to play nice, I'm out of here!
Come on, Smokescreen.
We'd better hurry.
You got it.
We gotta get to the bottom
of what's going on.
[♪♪♪]
[PANTING]
I can't believe it.
We're almost through!
Jetfire. Your turn.
Right!
Time to melt this ice.
It'll be a lot easier
in vehicle mode!!
You ready?
Go for it!
Let's see some fire!
[ENGINE REVVING]
[♪♪♪]
Come on. Come on.
You're almost through!
[YELLING]
You're doing great.
Just keep it up!
[GASPS]
Whoa!
We did it! Optimus is free!
[OPTIMUS GROANING]
But is he okay?
Optimus Prime!
I'm fine. Thank you.
Thank goodness!
Thank you, old friend.
You really went
above and beyond.
Anytime, Optimus.
I heard everything
on the comm.
All right. Let's go!
AUTOBOTS: Right!
[ALL CHEERING]
There is hope yet.
We may still win.
I'm shocked!
We must mobilize our forces
and move on Starscream.
We have to stop him now
before it's too late.
SNARL:
I'm going in!
I'll try to slow him down.
Is that a good idea?
Shouldn't you wait
until the others
get back, Snarl?
We don't have a choice.
I mean, Starscream
isn't going to wait for them.
Yes. I shall go too.
Hurry, Optimus! We need you
down here right away!
[THINKING]
Man, if only there was
something I could do! But what?
We must hurry, everyone!
The fate of the universe
is in our hands!
[♪♪♪]
REPORTER:
There's still no indication
of what these
strange invaders might want.
But the reports from the
government seem very grim.
The opinion is that
if the invaders were friendly,
then they would have
already indicated that.
So the decision has been made
to mobilize the m*llitary.
OPERATOR:
The unmanned droid planes
are finishing fueling now.
We'll be ready to launch
in just a few seconds.
STARSCREAM:
I can't believe this.
I have Decepticons
blanketing the entire globe.
And I still can't find
that Cyber Planet Key!
It's time to take this world
apart brick by brick.
Not if I have
something to say about it!
This is as far as you go,
Starscream!
You're mine now!
Do yourself a favor
and surrender, Starscream.
[CHUCKLES]
All right!
STARSCREAM:
Did you forget
about my new friends?
I need better footing.
[CACKLES]
You're very brave to take me on
by yourself, Snarl.
Well, either that,
or you're simply foolish.
Since you're about to be
destroyed, I'd say foolish.
But he isn't by himself,
Starscream.
Your reign is over,
Starscream!
What?! Impossible!
Wrong as usual.
No!
Impossible's our specialty.
HOTSHOT:
Sorry to keep you waiting,
Snarl.
SNARL:
No problem.
I managed to keep myself busy.
All right, Starscream.
You're done.
I hardly think so.
Decepticons, att*ck!
[♪♪♪]
They're everywhere!
Don't worry!
I'll take the ones in the air!
OVERRIDE:
Right! I'll take
a little extra power
for the ones down here!
Come on, Red Alert!
I'm with you!
OPERATOR:
The unmanned drone planes
are almost in position.
They'll be in f*ring range
in seconds.
GENERAL:
All right. As soon as they are,
tell 'em to let loose!
OPERATOR:
Yes, sir!
GENERAL:
Look sharp.
This one's for all the marbles.
If we don't take care
of these guys today,
there may not be a tomorrow.
Okay. All the drone planes
are almost in range.
Get ready to fire at will.
That's it! We have a lock!
[WAILS]
[GRUNTS]
Wait, I'm on your side!
No, stop!
You're after the wrong guys!
Hey, watch where you're aiming!
All right, that's it!
No, Hotshot! Don't fire!
The humans
don't know any better.
They don't see Autobots
or Decepticons.
They assume
we're all threatening them.
But we're trying
to help them!
Take evasive maneuvers
and don't engage them.
Our job just became
twice as hard,
which means
the Decepticons could win!
I know. But I'm afraid
we have no choice.
FRANKLIN:
You might not see it out there,
but it's clear as day
on this schematic.
So there are
two different groups
of those robots
battling each other?
That's right.
During this battle,
I've been running an analysis of
the combatants' att*ck patterns,
and it's plain to see
the robots signified
by the red marks
haven't downed
a single drone plane.
In fact,
every one of their blasts
have been directed
against the other robots.
But the group
they're battling against,
they don't hesitate at all
to open fire
on anything
that gets in their way.
Hm. Huh?
We have to talk
to those kids.
What?
You can't possibly be thinking
of getting them involved
in this.
They're just children!
That's what you're thinking,
isn't it?
Why don't you say something?
STARSCREAM:
Look around, Optimus.
Can't you see by now
there's no hope for you?
If you surrender now,
I'll allow you to live.
Save your breath. Everyone!
Stay strong.
We will be triumphant!
Yeah, but how? We're barely
holding our own here!
Don't worry.
We'll come up with something.
We gotta tell them
everything right now.
The Black Hole, Cybertron,
you guys coming here,
everything!
We have to tell the whole world!
What are you talking about?!
If we just tell everyone
the truth,
then everybody on Earth
will come to our aid
and help defeat
the Decepticons!
He has a point.
That might be our only option.
It's worth a sh*t.
I'm sorry, Coby.
I can't allow it.
This isn't something
humans should
be involved in.
But, Optimus!
It could help!
That's true,
but it could also hurt us.
The people of Earth
have already seen
cruel invaders
flying through their skies,
how do you think
they'd react to knowing
that there have been outsiders
hiding among them?
Humanity would feel betrayed,
not eager to help.
I can't allow you to do it.
[GROANS]
[ALL GASP]
That's it!
I can't sit here any longer!
Keep an eye on the base for me,
guys!
Come on,
we're going too!
Wait, Coby!
Where are you going?!
COBY:
To try to end this!
Hey, wait!
We want to come too!
[MINI-CONS CHITTERING]
Finally,
we're gonna get to do our part
to help out in this battle!
[LAUGHS]
Oh, wait! We actually
have to go if we want to help!
Hold on, guys!
I'll be there as soon as I can!
I just hope that
I'm not too late!
Finally, we made it!
Time to join the battle.
I bet I get there first!
Here goes nothing.
Aha! You'll do.
Come on. This way.
Thanks for the ride!
All right, show me what you got!
I'd better get in there
to back up Smokescreen.
Evac, transform!
Hmph. What took you so long?
We're here to clean up
the mess you've made.
And just what do you
plan to do to stop me?
Are you going to run away
really fast
like you did the last time?
I'm here right now.
Bring it on.
If that's what you want.
OPTIMUS:
Look out!
JETFIRE:
You'll pay for that!
Hmm?
And I'll see to that!
I don't know
if he's getting up!
Are you all right?
Optimus Prime!
We have to get him out of here.
Jetfire, come around!
You got it!
Get him over to me quickly!
Listen, I'm going to need
your help with this.
You got it.
Now jump!
Get us out of here!
Everyone! Break off the battle!
Optimus has been injured!
This isn't over!
We'll stop you yet, Starscream!
[CHUCKLES]
I heard what happened.
Is he okay?
We don't know.
[♪♪♪]
So what now,
Coby?
We gotta find someone big
to talk to,
like a general or something.
Right!
But listen,
we are sure that we're doing
the right thing, aren't we?
I don't want to get
the Autobots
into any more trouble
than they're already in.
I know.
We'll help you guys,
Coby!
That's good news!
FRANKLIN:
Stop here.
[KIDS GASP]
Excuse me.
But we need to talk.
Who are you?
[♪♪♪]
OPTIMUS:
I'm fine.
RED ALERT:
You're not fine!
Sit here
and let me do my job.
I have to fix you,
if we hope to defeat Starscream.
My name is Evac, by the way.
And my friend here
is Smokescreen.
We're in your debt
for blocking that sh*t.
Sorry you were hurt.
In any event,
back in that battle,
we heard someone say
your name is Optimus Prime,
is that correct?
Mm-hm.
Hold still, Optimus.
I'm almost done.
Well, looks like
I've found your problem.
Seems like all we've seen
is shrapnel
since we left Cybertron.
[GASPS]
Cybertron?!
Did you say Cybertron?
Well, did you?
I did. Why? It's just
our home planet after all?
Perhaps to you, but to us,
it's much more than that.
I just can't believe this!
The legends are true!
Cybertron exists!
It's amazing! I never thought
I'd see this day.
Look, I'm really happy
for you guys,
but this isn't helping!
We gotta stay focused
on stopping Starscream!
I mean, I don't want to have
to leave this planet too!
Yes. But we need a plan.
We can't just rush into battle.
Mm-hm. Starscream's forces
vastly outnumber ours.
so we're going to have
to outthink him.
When the battle
does come...
Optimus...
We will stand firm.
We'll find a way. Together,
we will defeat Starscream.
AUTOBOTS:
Right!
[♪♪♪]
JOLT:
I hope this was a good idea,
Coby.
I know this is
an emergency situation,
but I don't understand
why we're getting
such special treatment
from the m*llitary.
I know. I don't know
if "special" is good or bad.
Huh?
Hang in there, guys.
Coby, listen, I'm here
if you need me, okay?
Thanks, Dad.
Don't worry.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Of course!
Yeah, we're with the m*llitary,
what could happen?
[GROANS]
So, what do you think
this guy wants?
I wish that I knew!
Well, I think I have
a pretty good idea
of what this guy
has in mind.
I bet he's going to try
and take those Autobots apart
piece by piece
to see what makes them tick,
I think!
All right, Bud, calm down!
Why? You know that I'm right!
We should have listened
to Optimus.
I've seen enough TV shows
to know exactly how this one's
going to turn out!
Huh...
[THINKING]
Maybe we should give him
a chance.
But if he tries to do anything
to those Autobots,
and I mean anything,
I'll make sure
that he regrets it big time.
