MAN:

Where is that Coby?

I guess he's not here.

What's up, Tim?

Haven't you seen the news,

Stanton?

A whole bunch of

UFOs have been spotted.

Yeah, I know.

It's got me worried,

so I went back home

and the house was empty.

No signs of my folks

or brothers.

If it'll make you feel better,

I'll help you look.

Hey, thanks, Stanton.

[♪♪♪]

REPORTER:

It truly is

the most amazing thing...

What's goin' on out there?

REPORTER:

Unbelievable, but real.

Things from another world.

OPTIMUS:

Starscream's leading

these Transformers.

They're descendants

of Decepticons

that came to Earth

aboard starship Atlantis.

That's right.

They're after the Earth's Key

and then Starscream

will go after the rest of

the Cyber Planet Keys.

Don't forget, they'll be aiming

to grab the Omega Lock too.

Yeah, it's good

those crusty Decepticons

don't know about

this place.

That doesn't mean

we're safe, Snarl.

The first thing they'll do

is scan for our location.

We're cutting off

all broadcast communication

on all frequencies.

We don't want to

send out any radio waves.

Smart.

Radio signals would have led

them right to our door.

So instead,

we're connecting directly

to the human

telephone grid.

[GRUNTING]

JETFIRE:

This is the Autobot base.

Yes, we've seen

the Decepticons.

Now, don't worry.

Simply continue

as robots in disguise

as normal.

The human population

is still unaware.

Unaware so far.

There are some suspicious people

on the Internet.

To be safe, I better go get

the Earth Cyber Planet Key.

Watch your back.



Yes, sir.

Optimus Prime. Jolt,

the Mini-Cons and the children.

I cannot seem to establish

contact with them.

Yes, I'm concerned

about them too.

I've sent Hotshot and Landmine

out to search for them.

Man, the kids sure picked

a bad time to disappear.

Huh? Whoa!

Hey, watch where you're goin'!

That was close.

Are you okay, Hotshot?

I'm fine.

What the--?

[GROANS]

My car's broke. Coby! Bud!

[HORN HONKS]



Huh?

Excuse me, did I just hear you

say the names Coby and Bud?

They're my missing brothers,

and I'm searching for them.

I saw them near this m*llitary

truck in our neighborhood.

That's my only clue.

I know Coby.

Cool kid.

He's repaired me

more than once.

Me too.



Huh?

He was my pit crew.

Yeah. He fixed my rig.

Uh, okay, then.

Don't fear.

We'll get your brothers.

We won't rest

until we find 'em.

Huh?

Thank you, but what

I really need is...

[GROANS]

...someone to help me

with my car.

The time has come for you to

lead me to the Autobots' base.

But, sir, what is

a Bautonaut anyway?

I just don't understand

the point of all this.

No habla ingles,

Señor Franklin.

[WAILS]

You've got to

keep it cool, Bud.

They say a picture

is worth a thousand words.

Here's .



[ALL GASP]

The government doesn't know

the truth yet.

I want to help your friends

before they do.

I'm a little lost about

the context of your questions.

Aren't you some sort of

member of the government?

My real concern here

is that the children

are not in

any sort of danger.

Maybe we should come clean,

Lori.

You know,

like we did before,

back when we told

Professor Suzuki.

That was

totally different, Bud.

We can trust her.

She's open-minded,

but other adults will probably

freak out bigtime.

We have to careful

not to say too much

or we could get all

the Transformers on Earth

in some serious trouble.

Okay, I get the point.

All right,

we're all agreed.

We don't tell

the Colonel anything.

BOTH:

Mm-hm.

[♪♪♪]

Gah! Oh, no. I'm done for.

SUZUKI:

Relax, little guy.

It's Ms. Suzuki.

It is you. Great.

But what are you

doing here?

I snuck in to help you

out of here.

I have to get out of here

to help Coby, Bud and Lori.

They're here too?

All right.

When I give the word,

you and I are gonna march

right out of here.

Got it.

[♪♪♪]

BOTH: Huh?



It's time to fly!

Get in!

Hey, you!

Get back here!

We are so gonna

get in trouble for this.

Okay, where are

those kids hiding?

[♪♪♪]

Have you located

their base yet?

Bad news.

They must have anticipated

what we were trying to do.

They've stopped transmitting.

[THINKING]

Clever Autobots.

You can try to hide,

but I won't give up easily.

I'm persistent.

I'll turn over every rock

on this planet.

I'll find where

you cowards are hiding

if it's the last thing I do.

[BELL RINGING]

Talk to me.

What's goin' on?

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]



Huh?

Coby!



It's Jolt!

Jump on, Coby.

Right now.

Don't you dare, Coby!

What now?

Sweet. It's the four-wheel

drive calvary.

The what?



Sorry, Mom,

but I gotta save

the world.

MOM:

Coby!

If you do anything mean to

my folks, you'll answer to me.

Got it,

Frankie baby?

[♪♪♪]

BUD:

Woo-hoo!

This is just like

a scene in a movie.

I jumped.

Hey, don't be afraid.

It's just a delayed reaction.

I really jumped.

Huh?

Stop.

It's Hotshot

and Landmine.

Coby, hey. We've been hitting

the highway looking for you.

There's trouble brewing, guys.

The government

is gathering information.

They know about

the Transformers.

They know everything.



Is it her?

No, it's not.

She's our friend, trust me.

My name is

Lucy Suzuki.

The kids have shared

your secrets with me,

and I'm here to help.



Look, there's no time.

We gotta tell

the rest of the Autobots

that the beans have been

spilled on you guys.

That's important news, Coby.

I'll let them know ASAP.

Autobot HQ,

please respond.

Hmm, they're not

responding.

We met a guy named Tim. He was

really concerned about you two.

BOTH: What?



That's right.

He seems to be

a very good brother.

Well, yeah.

You're not sure?

Lots of wedgies.



[CHUCKLES]

[♪♪♪]

Got it.



Do you have something?

Jolt is that Mini-Con

that's always nipping

at the heels of

the Autobots, right?

Right.



Well, then...

I just intercepted

a transmission from him.

The base is close.

[THINKING]

That mountain is where

Optimus Prime

and his lackeys are hiding.

Now, my Decepticons.

It's time to att*ck.

[♪♪♪]

MAN :

All the UFOs,

they're moving at once.

MAN :

Moving? Where are they headed?

MAN :

Central Rockies, Colorado.

[SIRENS WAILING]

Well, let's just have faith

in your brothers' odd friends.

Uh, yeah.

Break my bolts.

Look at 'em all.

They're swarming in

like ants at a picnic,

and we're on the menu.

VECTOR:

Hmm... Hmm?

Hey, Coby. We're readying

our battlepl-- Huh?

[ALL PANTING]

[GASPS]

Coby. You brought an outsider

here? What were you thinking?

That ain't cool.

Cover her eyes.

Come on, you guys!

Don't worry about the professor.

She's the one who rescued us

from the m*llitary base.

Worry about

all those Decepticons

who have the world

totally freaking out.

We'll talk about this later.

Do I make myself clear?

Hmm!



Oh, no. This is all my fault.

When I sent out

that transmission,

they must have

intercepted it.

I'm sure they would have found

this base sooner or later.

But Optimus,

Starscream will destroy

the town

to draw you out.

No sweat.

[GROANS]

I'm way too stressed

to come up with another joke

right now, ugh.

It's okay, Bud.

I won't let them

destroy your home.

We Autobots sure know

what that's like.

A home is irreplaceable.

And we owe you,

because you've been so helpful

in trying to save our home.

A battle here

with Starscream

and those Decepticons

could destroy the town.

I will not

let that happen.

We must change the b*ttlefield,

and we'll do it our way.

But what are gonna do,

Optimus?

We have no other choice

but to leave Earth.

What? You're leaving?

[♪♪♪]

OPTIMUS:

Once Evac returns with

Earth's Cyber Planet Key,

we'll no longer need

to stay on Earth

and endanger your planet

with our conflict.

That's right.

If we leave,

Starscream won't have

any reason to stick around.

He'll chase us.

But chase us where, Leobreaker?

Where do we go next?

To Velocitron,

the Speed Planet.

Good thinking.

Once we get there,

Clocker and Breakdown

can help us.

[ALL WHIMPER]

Hmm...

Okay, troops.

It's time to move.

JETFIRE:

Attention,

all robots in disguise.

We are withdrawing from Earth.

Please do not draw

the attention of the humans.

This is not a drill.

[♪♪♪]

COBY:

But Optimus Prime!

Ah, children.

Thank you for everything.

We will never forget you.

[CRYING]

No. No. No. You can't go.

No, you just can't!

[ALL CRYING]



Don't cry, Bud.

I knew...

this day would come.

But I hoped

it wouldn't be this soon.

Convince him, Coby.



Huh?

Convince him to stay.

But Lori, they can't.

[CRYING]

But it's not fair.

I don't want them

to leave us.

I know.

[♪♪♪]

We're almost there.

Correct.

What?

Evac.

An Autobot out by himself?

This'll be worth a few laughs.

I'll get him.

He's mine.

Starscream.

[♪♪♪]

I don't understand it.

Why, in these dangerous times,

are you flying solo?

The Cyber Planet Key.

Don't get any big ideas.

Hand it over!

Cyber Key Power!

Gah! Blast him!

You want fireworks?

Here. Take this!

Serves them right

for wasting my time.

This isn't over!

Huh?

Space Bridge, now.

Yes.



Yes.

[ALL WHIMPER]

Goodbye.

I'll miss you.

[♪♪♪]

Come back!

We need you here!

[♪♪♪]

Can you swim?

You can drown.

Where is he?

Coward! Running away.

He's getting away,

not running away.

Did I ask you?

Aircraft approaching.

Starscream!

Evac's got the Planet Key, but

Starscream's right on his tail.

Jetfire, help him out.

With pleasure.

What kept you?

Okay. Who wants a taste?

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Piece of cake.

Good.

We're leaving.

Disengage.

You lucked out.

[GRUNTING]

Get off my back!

Maybe not,

but I'll sh**t you in the back.

[GROANS, YELLING]

He's crashing!

[ALL WAILING]

Look, he's really hurt!

We're coming!



No!

Get out of here before

Starscream gets...here.

[CHUCKLES]

It's raining Decepticons,

and you don't have an umbrella.

Jolt.

[♪♪♪]

Jolt, do it.

Here goes nothing.

Optimus would never leave

his friends in danger.

Jolt! Cool!



ALL: Huh?

Liked that?

I can do it again.

What the--?

Right.

[♪♪♪]

Looks like you've lost your only

bargaining chip, Starscream.

So now, I'm not holding

anything back.

Well, since you put it

that way, Optimus...

it's only fair

that I do the same!

You kids take cover.

This is gonna get ugly.

We've got to buy

the others some time.

No problem.

I've got just

the right tools for the job.

Come on, Decepti-creeps.

Let's rock!

I love Autobot bowling!

Well, this pin strikes back.

And here's a strike.

Cyber Tempest!

Autobot Bad Breath!

I must say, Starscream

is surprisingly resilient...

but let's see him

handle this!

[SCREAMS]

What?



Huh?

My turn.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Give it up, Starscream!

[SHOUTS]

Bull's-eye.

My power. My future.

Whoa.



Come on, Snarl.

Let's finish him.

It's over!

Not...yet!

No!

The Key.

[WHEEZES]

Hand it over!

No way, pal.

Not on my watch.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Sorry, pal...

But your watch is over.

All right.

How's this gonna go down?

I shall give up my Spark

before I surrender

the Omega Lock.

Oh, yeah?

Prepare to meet Primus!

Never!

Finally.

It's all mine.

OPTIMUS:

Think again, Starscream.

I'll turn you into scrap

if I have to,

but I'm not letting

the Omega Lock

fall into Megatron's

filthy hands.

[LAUGHING]



What's so funny?

You think I've gone

through all this

for an arrogant fool

like Megatron?

This power is mine!

What do you mean?

Where is Megatron?

Oh, don't you worry.

Megatron's not going anywhere.

[CHUCKLES]

I see.

I knew in the end, I'd have

to b*at every last Autobot.

Now it's just you and me.

And me!

Need a hand, boss?

You bet!

You see, Starscream, when

you betray those around you,

you've got no one

you can rely on.

But when you're part of a team,

you never stand alone.

OPTIMUS:

It really is

a valuable lesson.

But some people just

have to learn the hard way.

[♪♪♪]

Give it up, Starscream!

No! The power is mine!

Not if I have

anything to say about it.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

The power!

Let it go, Starscream.

You have to end this.

The power is mine!

Then you leave me

with no other choice.

I will do

what must be done!

For Cybertron!

The Omega Lock!

[♪♪♪]

[GROANS]

No!

It can't end like this!

Almost...got it...

Your team is your strength,

Optimus,

but it's also

your one weakness.

A m*ssile? But what--?

The kids!

[ALL SCREAM]

No!

Optimus!

Coby. Lori. Bud.

Are you all right?

[STARSCREAM LAUGHS]



Huh?

It's mine at last.

The power of Primus.

[LAUGHING MANICALLY]

No...

COBY:

Optimus,

I-I feel horrible.

You almost had the Omega Lock

in your grasp,

and you then had to give it

all up to save our lives.

LANDMINE:

Hey, you're not givin' up

on us, are you, kid?

Your town is safe

and everyone's okay.

We can take care

of Starscream later.

Exactly, Landmine.

He stole the Lock from us,

so we'll just

steal it back.

That's right.

But we need you to do it,

Coby. And Bud. And Lori.

Cool!

Starscream

can't have gone far.

I'm pretty sure he still needs

what's left of his monster army.

Boo-yah! Come on,

Jolt, old buddy.

Let's start surfing

the net for clues.

You got it,

Bud-Dude.

LORI:

Colonel Franklin.

[♪♪♪]

So I finally meet you.

[CHUCKLES]

We gotta talk, Autobots.
