More than meets the eye

The Transformers

NARRATOR: Off the Malabar coast of India,

a Maharaja has converted his
palace into a Solar power station,


As a gift to his people.

-The solar collectors are producing three
hundred units of energy per second.

Excellent.

What can be happening?

-I hear the Maharajah's
holding an open house.

-Aahhh!

-Autobots, activate hydrofoils!

-Thanks for the crazy
waterskis, Wheeljack!

I always wanted to play motorboat!

-Ah, I wish they were painted to
match my basecoat. They clash!

OPTIMUS PRIME: Redecorate
later, Sunstreaker!

Our primary concern is the Decepticons!

-I've got to restore power!

Aaahh!

-[ laughs ] Anyone for a game of... catch?

-We're not here to frolic, Skywarp.

Get rid of him.

-Spoilsport.

SKYWARP: Optimus Prime!

OPTIMUS PRIME: Autobots,
transform for action!


-You will get more action than
you bargain for, Optimus Prime.

-You promised me a guinea pig, Megatron.

I need one for my experiment.

-Patience Dr. Arkeville.

Operation Guinea Pig is
proceeding according to schedule.

Soundwave, acknowledge.

-Proceed, Megatron.

-The Autobots have been
successfully diverted.

Begin Phase Two of the operation.

-Affirmative. Rumble, transform.

CLIFFJUMPER: Aah! Watch it, Sparkplug!

-What's wrong? The oil too hot?

-What the...

-Ravage, transform.

-What's shakin'?

-Center of the
disturbance is over there.

-It's Rumble.

-Laserbeak, transform.

SPIKE: Ironhide? Bumblebee?

What's goin' on?

-Nothing a little flare-fire
can't clear up.

-Look out, Sideswipe!

-Way to go, Sideswipe!

-Clobber that Decepti-kitty.

-Let me go!

Help!

-Decepticons have captured my dad.

MEGATRON: Decepticons!

Operation Guinea Pig complete.

Return to base.

-Decepticons, follow me!

-They've pulled out.

-And without any energon cubes.

-Hmm... that does not
satisfy my logic circuits.

-Prime, the Decepticons have
hit Autobot Headquarters!

-We were set up!

-Autobots, transform and roll!

Back to headquarters at once!

MEGATRON: Your guinea pig
has arrived, Dr. Arkeville.

-Excellent!

-Let me go, you Bakelite-beaked buzzard!

-Laserbeak, where are your manners?

Our guest needs a seat.

-Guest, huh? Prisoner's more like it.

-I say Megatron's plan was brilliant.

-And I say the diversionary attack
on the solar plant was a waste of energy.

-You waste more energy with your mouth.

-Look, I...

-Silence! Control yourselves.

-One of these might
open a door out of here.

-Don't go yet!

I have something which
will interest you.

MEGATRON: It had better function, doctor,

or you may cease functioning.

-I have worked too diligently
to fail now, Megatron.

Watch.

-Whatever you're doing,
the Autobots will stop you.

-Silence, miserable flesh creature.

You are to be the first of a new breed.

A breed of slaves.

-Cheer up, Spike.

We'll get Sparkplug back safe,
no matter what it takes.

Got any inventions, Wheeljack?

-Maybe, but we'll need a plan.

-I've got the plan, if all of you've
got the cast-iron manifolds for it.

-We have!

Transform and roll out!

-Everything is in readiness, Megatron.

-Are you sure the new
spacebridge will be large enough,

to transport its special... cargo?

-Affirmative.

But delivering the cargo will use
up all our remaining energon cubes.


-We will worry about that later.

Eavesdropping, doctor?

-What's this about a spacebridge
and a special cargo?

-That's not your affair.

The Earth shall be yours when
we are through with it.

That's all you need to know.
Now, give me a demonstration.

-My hypno-chip has the power
to override the will of the individual.

I, and I alone, control
the actions of my slaves.

-We shall test your theory, doctor.

Sparkplug, say hello to your friend.

-Optimus Prime. Prepare to attack.

-[ laughs ]

Relax, you panic monger.

This is merely a model of our enemy.

-Sparkplug, deal with him.

-Excellent, doctor!

Your hypno-chip will provide me with
the means to conquer the Earth,

and the Autobots once and for all!

-You have your assignments. Go for it!

-Into the ocean, best be daring,
the last one in is a rusty herring!

-I hope the saltwater doesn't
bleach my body enamel!

-Activate your depth gauge, Cliffjumper.

We've gotta know when
we're below sea level.

-. feet above, and descending.

-A scanner at twelve o'clock, Prime.

Let's see if they can scan this!

Autobots, move in!

-[ laughs ]

There's more where that came from.

-Ditto, Mega-dunce! Plenty more!

-We're not only below sea level,

We're below the ocean floor, Brawn.

-Hang a left and straighten out!

-Hey, Thundercracker!

This belong to you?

-We should be gettin' close.

-You'd better pass me.

-Your magnetic field
activated, Windcharger?

-Right. Soon as I feel a tug,

we'll know we've reached
Decepticon Headquarters.

-Everybody into the pool!

-I don't care what Megatron
says. The prisoner stays.

-How would you like me to reprogram
you into a trash compactor?

-Okay, this must be the place.

-Give it the glass gas, Cliffjumper.

-Aaahh!

-Gotta grab Sparkplug!

-Hold your breath, Sparkplug!

-Those Autobots will pay for this!

-[ laughs ]

DR. ARKEVILLE: They certainly will.

They've just taken our
sl*ve into their midst!

-Will ya hold still, Sunstreaker?

-Be careful with that thing.

You'll get scorch marks
on my selenium shinguards.

-Gee, Dad, it's sure great
to have you back.

Dad?

-No talk. There's work to be done.

Who else needs repairs?

-Wheeljack. Something's wrong with Dad.

-You're not kiddin'.

-Hey, cut it out!

My back's A-OK!

-No, sl*ve.

Fix only the Autobots who are injured.

-Prime's circuits are fine, Sparkplug.

I told you I fixed them, didn't I?

-I'm a mechanic. I know what I'm doing.

-Attack! Spare no one!

-How'd they get in?

-Teletraan I must have blown
his beta-biodes.

-What's going on?

-The destruction of
your breed, Autobot!

-Hide!

-Aah!

SPIKE: A wrench? Dad's wrench!

That's why the alarm didn't go off!
Dad sabotaged Teletraan!

-[ laughs ]

-Excellent! Excellent!

SPIKE: Dad, what's wrong?

It's me, Spike.

-Don't know. Can't stop myself.

Decepticons want me to...

Ooohh!

What is it, Dad?

-They want me... to help...

uuuhh!

help...

-You will obey me, sl*ve!
You have no choice!

-Dad!

-Out of my way!

Must work!

-Dad, Please!

-Parting is such sweet sorrow.

Farewell, Autobots, forever!

-It's up to you, Teletraan.

-Fire-retardant foam.

Our circuitry's been shorted out.

-My w*apon!

Can't we just bash 'em to pieces?

-If we stay, this foam will permanently
damage our circuitry.

The Autobots are through, anyway.

Retreat!

-Come. Join me and rule!

-Dad! You're not like
the Decepticons!

-Then you will fight against
your own father.

When next we meet,
we are enemies!

-Coordinate the angles of
the energy pylons.

-So, Megatron, you're
finally preparing,

this "spacebridge" to send
that "special cargo", eh?

-Precisely, doctor.

And the cargo will be nothing less
than our home planet of Cybertron.

-Your planet?

You're bringing a planet to the Earth?

-Yes.

-But the gravity of your planet
will create earthquakes,

tidal waves... it will...

devastate my planet!

-Ahh, but that devastation will create
a tremendous flow of energy.

Energy which your hypno-chip slaves
will collect into energon cubes.

The cubes will then easily be
shipped to Cybertron for our use.

But what will be left of Earth, then?

I will be ruler of a dead world!

-A small problem, my dear doctor,

for your amazing genius.

-Has Teletraan I been debugged?

-We're just checking it out.

OPTIMUS PRIME: Good. Teletraan's Skyspy is,

functioning once more.

SPIKE: Yeah, and look what it's picking up.

RATCHET: Decepticons! Let's get a read-out.

OPTIMUS PRIME: The angles
of those energy pylons,

form a space pyramid,

with the apex beyond this galaxy.

-A spacebridge.

The biggest spacebridge ever!

-We must investigate at once.

Roll for it!

-Spacebridge completed.

We are ready to transport Cybertron.

-And we are ready to receive.

-Autobots!

-Position the slaves, doctor. At once!

-As you wish, Megatron.

-Autobots, transform and move in.

The game is over, Megatron!

-On the contrary, Optimus Prime!

I still have a trump card to play!

-Autobots, hold your fire!

We cannot endanger the humans!

-You disappoint me, Prime!

I never dreamed you'd let a
few worthless flesh creatures,

stand in the way of attacking us!

-It's not over yet, Megatron!

-It's Dad!

DR. ARKEVILLE: Slaves,
attack the Autobots!


-Hey, this is not my scene.

-Spike, I need your help.

-Dad, no!

He's your friend!

All the Autobots are our friends!

-Autobots? Friends?

Spike!

What's wrong? Are you...

-I'm getting bio-feedback from
Sparkplug's hypno-chip.

I must re-compute the control codes.

-Feeling better, Dad?

-I... think so, son.

-[ chuckles ]

This jolt will reactivate his hypno-chip!

-[ groans in pain ]

Out of my way.

-Dad!

-Don't call me that.

Never again!

-Entering final countdown phase.

If energy pylons are not operational,

Cybertron will be
catapulted into oblivion.

-Pylon number one activated!

-That's the last one you're
activating, Megatron!

-Correct!

You will activate the last pylon and
bring Cybertron here.

-As the Earthling say...

Fat chance, fat-head!

-If you don't, you will be responsible
for Cybertron's destruction.

-Destruction? But there are
still many inhabitants...

friends on Cybertron!

-Then make your choice,
Optimus Prime!

-Very well, Megatron...

...you win.

-Aahh! This is only the beginning!

The sum of Earth's magnificent
energy will be mine!

I have won!

[ laughs victoriously ]

-Have I saved Cybertron...
only to destroy the Earth?
