NARRATOR:

Our worlds are in danger!

To save them and the galaxy,

we must find

the four Cyber Planet Keys

before the Decepticons

can use them for evil.

It is our mission.

Transform and roll out!

VECTOR:

Fleeing to Earth

will only delay the inevitable.

This disaster

will not stop at Cybertron!

OPTIMUS:

You mean Earth is in danger

from the same black hole

that threatens Cybertron?

Are you sure?

Indeed, that is so.

Now go on without me.

But why, Vector Prime?

I must retrieve the galactic map

from Megatron.

We cannot allow

the Decepticons

to locate

the Cyber Planet Keys.

That mission's too dangerous

to take on alone.

Jetfire?

Yes, sir?

I want you,

Hotshot and Overhaul

to go with Vector Prime

as backup.

What?



Are you certain?

Yes.

What about Landmine?

We can't just forget about him!

We'll break into two teams.

Scattershot, you're with me.

Remember,

no matter what happens,

we cannot let Megatron

get his hands on the Omega Lock

or the Cyber Planet Key,

under any circumstances,

or we're all doomed.

The survival of the universe

depends on you.

Autobots roll out!

ALL:

Right!

We will not fail.

[THINKING]

I hope you're right,

Vector Prime.

Earth. Landmine could be

anywhere down there.

We must find him

before someone else does.

That robot's the coolest thing

I've ever seen!

I just need to borrow a--

Perfect!

Where is that thing?

No. No. That's not it.

It's gotta be here somewhere.

Ahem!

I hope you're not thinking

of stealing my tools, Coby.

[CHUCKLES]

[THINKING]

Oh, quick, think up an excuse!

I was gonna mine for gold

in the hills!

Yeah! That's it, yeah!

Goldmining, eh?

Just for fun.

I didn't know you were here,

Mr. Stanton,

or I would've asked.

Can I borrow your tools?

Sure, and you're gonna need

to haul your millions home,

aren't you?

Yeah.

Your ATV? Thanks!

BUD:

Give it some more gas, Coby!

No, less. Okay, now more!

Jeez, Bud! Stop being

such a backseat driver!

Yeah!

Where am I? A dirt planet?

Um? Earth?

And it's not all dirt.

So this is the Earth.

Greener than I thought.

You're from outer space?

Not space.

Just another planet.

I'm Coby, and this is

my little brother Bud.

Can you walk?



I think so.

Oh, name's Landmine.

Then follow us,

Landmine.

Let's get you outta here.

LANDMINE:

Watch out for that pothole, kid.

Turn left there.

I know. Why don't I teach you

how to walk?

Put one foot

in front of the other.

LANDMINE:

I know how to walk, thank you.

COBY:

Well, I know how to drive.

LANDMINE:

Ya got a smart mouth, kid.

Heh-heh.

[GASPS]



LANDMINE: Whoa! Who's this?

Don't worry, Landmine.

It's just Lori.

I went shopping!

In my brother's closet!

Aren't you the least bit curious

about that giant honkin' robot?

Okay! Have a seat!

LANDMINE:

What for?

BUD:

So Coby can fix you! Duh!

Uh. That's okay.

Oh, just one question.

Are you standard or metric?

You know,

I never really thought about it.

Hey, don't worry about it.

You're in good hands with Coby.

His grades might not

be the best,

but he's like

a pro mechanic.

Yeah, dude! And, Lori,

I don't think Landmine knows

what grades are.

Grades?



Come on, guys.

I want my first talking patient

to have confidence in me.

Now where does it hurt?

Well,

I have this pain in my arm.

Hm, so I see.

Oh, man, this is crazy hard.

Can you fix it?

Uh, of course.

I can fix anything,

right?

Uh, I think.

I got a bad feelin' about this.

OPTIMUS:

Hurry up and scan

an Earth vehicle, Scattershot!

We have to find Landmine

before these humans

notice we're really

robots in disguise.

Well, I can't decide!

Wait!

I like the looks of that!

Scattershot, transform!

A t*nk? Are you trying

to draw attention to us?!

As opposed to a firetruck

with giant cannons!?

Yeah, 'cause that blends in

so well with the scenery.

Where'd you go?!

Oh, there you are!

I didn't see you for a second.

Heh.

A t*nk is perfect.

No parking tickets.

They'll all get out of my way.

And I can get up to miles

per hour on rough terrain!

Yes, but a firetruck is bigger.

Wanna race?

[♪♪♪]

[CACKLING]

Right behind you,

Megatron.

Is this really where one of

the Cyber Planet Keys is?

So says the map.

It is here. And soon

its power shall be mine!

I don't see anything

on this asteroid.

Not on! In!

Fine. I don't see it anywhere

in this asteroid either.

The map is wrong.

Argh!

Hmm...

It's a fake!

Wait!

Huh?

This is an ancient map

of the cosmos.

Hm.



Well then, mighty Megatron,

just think about it.

The universe is constantly

shifting and changing...

We need to adjust

our coordinates.

VECTOR:

You will never get the chance,

Megatron!

[YELLS]

Autobots! Stay in formation!

Dispose of this annoyance

once and for all, Starscream.

With pleasure.



Take that!

Ha-ha! Better try that again!

Not fast enough, old man!

I've got him!

[GROANS]

You're wasting my time.

The power of Primus

will be mine!

Give up, old timer!

Never! Hand over the map

that you have stolen!

Oh, is that all? Okay.

On second thought: No!

Perhaps I can help

change your mind!

As long as there is

a spark in my body,

you shall not prevail!

♪ Na, na, na, na, na, na ♪

Such an annoying little bug.

Time to break out

the flyswatter!

You gotta catch me first!

Stand still!

[GRUNTS]

What the--?

We got him now,

Overhaul!

Fools.

[BOTH SCREAMING]

[CACKLING]

Say goodbye, Autobots!

Vector Prime!

Excellent.

Optimus Prime

sends his tin soldiers.

He's a coward,

whose folly has cost

the Autobots dearly!

[CACKLES]

COBY:

How about now?

Yeah.

Tell me which one's better.

Better... No. Yeah.

Okay. Just a few more

quick adjustments.

Hey Lori, Bud, aren't either

of you afraid of me?

Huh?

Huh?

Well,

to be perfectly honest...

I wasn't scared!

We were more just shocked

and awed

that real alien life forms

totally exist here on Earth

and aren't just rumors like

adults always tell us, you know?

I'm alien, am I?

Well,

we're alien to you too!

Besides,

you needed our help!

That's true--

Hey, Bud!

Can you hand me

that rachet over there?

BUD:

This one?

No. Not that one.

That one, right there!

Happy to be able to help, Coby.

Unh!

Is everybody here,

well, you know,

as kindhearted and helpful

as you guys are?

Well, probably not everybody

but most people are.

[THINKING]

Hm, just like the Autobots.

[THINKING]

Now I've seen everything.

Bigfoot!

Here in the woods of our town.

Bigfoot?

In platform shoes?

Almost like finding our very own

UFO, huh, fellas?

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, what's that?

Crop circles!

But there aren't any crops

over there, son,

not to mention

those are squares.

[ALL MURMURING]

Let's form a search party!

SHERIFF:

This way!

COBY:

Finished!

See how your hand works now.

[GRUNTING]



[SIGHS]

It works! Go, Coby!

Feels good as new, maybe better!

Nice work, kid!

Now for the big problem, guys.

What big problem?

Getting Landmine

back to outer space?

Oh, yeah. That big problem.

Well! I got nothin'.

Don't worry, you guys.

You have a plan?

Mm-hm. Yeah. A search party.

Huh?



I'll bring the potato chips,

and Coby can bring some sodas,

unless you want to bring

the chips, bro.

And I'll bring

my mp player.

Search party

no tunes necessary.

Who's searching for you?

LANDMINE:

Others of my kind.

Yeah. They could be arriving

at any time.

Folks will see them!

Look! Over there!

More big footprints!

KIDS:

Huh?

See, that's a search party.

I wonder what those guys

are searching for?

Probably us and him!

Landmine could be

anywhere on this planet!

Bigfoot, you say?

That's what I heard.

Hang on a minute, here,

Luke.

Are you sure

you heard right?

Yes, sir.

The Sheriff's got a mob

searching for that gigantic

creature over that a-ways

just a few miles

outside of town.

As soon as I get off work here,

I'm gonna go join 'em!

You believe

in little green men too?

Thank you, gentlemen.



[BOTH GASP]

Who said that?

I appreciate

the information.

It's been real, gentlemen.

Have a nice day.

You too, sir. Hey!

There was nobody

behind the wheel of that rig!

And you think I'm the one

who's crazy?

That truck drove itself!

I saw it with my own eyes!

PILOT:

Oceanic Flight requesting

clearance for landing.

MAN: Roger that.



PILOT: Mayday! Mayday!

There seems to be some kind of

anomaly driving us off course!

Thundercracker, transform!

Just like lookin' in a mirror,

ain't it, fellas?

[CACKLES]

PILOT:

Looks like it's gone.

Time to throw it into autopilot.

Whoo, doggies!

It just don't get

any better than this!

Hang on. What've we got here?

Well, whaddaya know!

It does get better!

Time to pay ol' Landmine

a visit!

Yee-haw!

COBY:

They're gaining on us!

SHERIFF:

There they are!

Halt!

Don't let 'im get away!

Any ideas? 'Cause now'd

be a good time!

Landmine!

You're rescued!



I don't think so.

What's that thing?

LANDMINE:

A Decepticon called

Thundercracker!

[KIDS WHIMPER]

Get down!

[GASPS]

What on earth was that?

Oh, no! It's a wildfire!

Run for your lives!

[COUGHING]

I think I'm imagining things.

Are you all right, Landmine?

Did these three humans

capture you?

Nothin' like that,

Optimus.

They saved me

when I needed help.

Now we gotta save them!

This big ol' firetruck

is a robot too?

Optimus Prime, transform!

I've got to get rid

of Thundercracker

and keep the battle

away from the humans.

This is going to be tricky!

Whoa!



Stylin', dude!

Optimus Prime? Well, sur-prise,

sur-prise, sur-prise!

This must be my lucky day!

Thundercracker, transform!

Blastin' Optimus Prime'll be

my ticket to the big league!

Woo-wee!

Time to get 'er done!

That's what I'm talkin' about!

If someone doesn't

stop this fire...

Now I got the high ground!

I fight better airborne!

Now where'd that ol' boy git to?

OPTIMUS:

Incoming!

Whoa, nelly!

He won't get away from me!

Wow, look--

A flying fire engine!

You know guys,

I'm ready to go home now.

Come on! Flying fire trucks?

That's freaky!

[CHUCKLES]

One of us is faster! Ha-ha!

Guess who?

I'll give you a hint:

it ain't you, Optimus!

Whoo-hoo!

Optimus Prime bar-be-que!

Thundercracker, transform!

Surrender now!

Let me think about that...

Um, no.

I have to stop

all those missiles!

Whoo-wee! Like the th of Ju-ly!

[CACKLING]

He did it!

Awesome!

[PEOPLE COUGHING]



KIDS: Huh?

It's too late!

The fire's out of control!

It's not too late.

Hey! Humans aren't fireproof

like you! Help!

Copy that.

[♪♪♪]

Optimus Prime, Super Mode!

The phased inductors

in my Super Mode plasma cannons

should hyper-ionize this lake

water and put out the fire.

[♪♪♪]

Is that what I think it is?

It's rain!

Well, I'll be.

MAN :

Lucky for us

Mother Nature came through!

MAN :

Talk about your timing!

MAN :

Yeah, what are the chances?

COBY:

How can we ever thank you?

You already have,

by helping Landmine.

Did someone

say Landmine?

Looks like their mission

was more successful than ours.

[♪♪♪]

And this is my little brother,

Bud.

Whassup, dude?

Welcome to Earth.

My name's Jetfire.

Hotshot.

Overhaul, here.

Name is Scattershot.

Landmine you know.

And Optimus Prime,

leader of the Autobots,

at your service!

[KIDS GASP]

And... You?

Aren't you

one of the Autobots too?

Not exactly, young one.

OPTIMUS:

Vector Prime

is an ancient Transformer.

COBY:

He's not an enemy though, is he?

I am not.

For we all must band together

for our common good

if every one of our planets

is to survive!

How can we help too?

If the Earth is in danger...

Not "if," "when!"

We mustn't get

the earthlings involved.

They are involved!

It's far too dangerous,

Scattershot!

You're right. I'm sorry.

It's too dangerous.

Huh? Wonder what

that's all about.

Either they're protecting us,

or they don't trust us.

What? N-No way!

After all we've been through

together today?

Tell them,

Landmine!

BUD:

Bro! Check it out!

This guy's crazy old school,

with gears and stuff!

COBY:

Bud! Don't touch that!

[EXCLAIMING]

Greetings!

Who are you?

Oh, these look good!

I'm Mini-Con Jolt! Transform!

That's Mini-Con Six-Speed!

Transform! Ooh, spiffy.

And that's Mini-Con Reverb!

Transform! Nice one.

You got those

from Coby's book!

Indeed. Seemed like the best way

to blend in with the locals.

Where are your manners?

Say hello, Six-Speed and Reverb.

[BOTH CHITTER]

We've been traveling

along with Vector Prime.

Very comfy ride.

Even with his high mileage.

But now that we're here, um,

where are we anyway?

This is Earth.

Oh! Earth!

You know it?

Never heard of it.



[BOTH GROAN]

Hey, put me down!

That tickles, you guys! Ha-ha!

What do we do now,

commander?

The black hole

threatening the universe

is our number one concern.

We left Red Alert behind

to stand watch,

but we also need to look after

the Cybertroneans

who are hiding

here on Earth.

Sir, we're going to need

a base of operations.

That we will.

What about

the Cyber Planet Keys?

Only the Cyber Planet Keys

contain the power

to save the universe

from destruction

by opening the Omega Lock!

LANDMINE:

With a leader

like Optimus Prime,

Nobody's gonna stand in our way!

Stop staring at me, Jolt!

You're freaking me out!

Look!

Who, me?

That insignia you wear.

This old T-shirt?

It is the shape

of the Omega Lock!

[GASPS]

And here I thought

it was just the logo

of some old rock band.

It's called

the "Mark of Atlantis,"

or something like that.

That is, like, so sweet.

Hmm. Most interesting.

Perhaps since an Earthling

unknowingly bears the mark

of the Omega Lock,

a Cyber Planet Key

may be here!

There's only one way

to find out!
