01x10 - Underground

[bunniefuu]

RAD:

Hi, my name's Rad,

and I wanna tell you

about the Transformers,

two races of mechanical beings

from another world.

There's the Autobots,

the good guys,

and then there's

the Decepticons,

a bunch of greedy bullies.

They're fighting over a smaller

race of robot called Mini-Cons.

The Mini-Cons crash-landed on

Earth thousands of years ago,

and they're scattered

all over the planet.

The Decepticons want

to enslave them

and use them

to increase their power.

But the Autobots will put

a stop to that evil plan.

CARLOS:

I don't believe it.

RAD:

Yeah. You guys have done

a great job

digging this place out.

ALEXIS:

Found anything new, Red Alert?

Mm-mm.

HOT SHOT:

Ah, I give up.

I'm not getting anywhere

with this.

Stop whining, Hot shot.

We've got work to do.

I'm not whining, and I know

this job is important.

I really do.

But I'm just not good

at sitting at some desk.

It's way too boring for me.

I need to be out

on the front lines

because that's where

I belong.

Yeah. I figure I should

just rest here a while

until I'm really needed

out there, guys.

Hey, I'm pretty good

with computers.

Maybe I could

cover for you.

OPTIMUS:

A Mini-Con has been detected.

All personnel,

report to the command center

on the double.

♪ Transformers ♪

OPTIMUS:

Computer, zoom in

on the Mini-Con location.

( all gasp )



You mean there's a Mini-Con

in a big city like that?



RED ALERT: Apparently.

That's where

the signal is coming from.

Let's not stand around here

talking about it, Red Alert.

Come on, let's roll.



Right.

( upbeat theme playing )

( gasps )

( sighs )

OPTIMUS:

Launch.

CARLOS:

Hey, if these people only knew

that Optimus is a Transformer

and not a truck,

they'd freak out.

For sure.



Yeah.

Who would ever guess

that we're riding

in a highly developed being

from outer space?

I'm not sure

I believe it myself.

OPTIMUS:

Any sign of that Mini-Con?

HOT SHOT:

I'm detecting a signal,

but it's really weak, sir.

OPTIMUS:

I'm homing on that signal,

Hot Shot. Got it.

And that signal must be coming

from somewhere underground.

HOT SHOT:

Oh, great.

More digging.

I can hardly wait.

OPTIMUS:

If we start excavating,

that could draw

a lot of attention to us.

ALEXIS:

Hold on a second.

( beeping )

Ah-ha.

♪ Transformers ♪

What is this place?

This looks like the entrance

to the city's subway system.

OPTIMUS:

Let's just take a look.

HOT SHOT:

Sure are a lot of tunnels

down here.

RED ALERT:

Got enough room, Optimus?

OPTIMUS:

Yes, but barely.

( train horn blows )



HOT SHOT: Huh?

We've got company.

( all gasp )



Is that a train?

ALEXIS:

Impossible.

This line

hasn't even opened yet?

Uh, it could be a test?

Whatever. It--

It's coming right at us.

( tires screeching )

( suspenseful theme playing )

RED ALERT:

Optimus.

RAD:

Optimus, you've gotta

get off the track.

Hurry.



( screeching )

( metal squealing )

( train horn blowing )

Oh, no, it's gonna hit us!

Aah!

( metal screeching )

( all screaming )

( whimpering )

What is that thing?

( screeching )

RED ALERT: Look out!



HOT SHOT: What's he doing?

( suspenseful theme playing )

( grunting )

Huh?

Huh?

( gasps )

What's a truck doing down here

in the subway?

Was that for real?

( sighs )

( Carlos sighs )

I'm sure glad

you were here to protect me.

Would you mind

moving over a bit?

I can't breathe.

RED ALERT:

Are you all right, Optimus?

OPTIMUS:

Yes. Luckily I found

the track switch.

HOT SHOT:

We thought you were

a goner, sir.

OPTIMUS:

We don't have time for chitchat.

Let's split up

and look for that Mini-Con.

HOT SHOT & RED ALERT:

Right.

Come on,

let's get to work.

Sure.

Sure.

( upbeat theme playing )

HOT SHOT:

Later.

RED ALERT: Be careful.



HOT SHOT: Always.

Huh?

Huh?

( gasps )

HOT SHOT:

Man, haven't they ever seen

a car on the sidewalk before?

( tires screeching )

Mama?

Mm-hm?

Um, there's a truck

on the tracks.

A truck?

Oh, that's nice.

OPTIMUS:

It's like a maze in here.

Hmm?

( gasps )

Huh?

Hey, look over there.

Hey, a staircase.

Let's check it out, guys.

( Cyclonus grunts )

CYCLONUS:

There's a whole planet out there

and this Mini-Con

has to end up in this place?

I can't even fly in here.

What a rip-off.

Quiet!

If I see that Mini-Con,

I'm gonna grab it

before Cyclonus gets to it.

( snickering )

Ugh. Curses.

It's impossible for me

to maneuver in here.

These tunnels are too small,

just like everything else

on this planet.

It's going to be difficult

to find the Mini-Con, sir.

Hmph. Then we'll make

the Mini-Cons we have

search for their own kind.

That's an excellent idea.

Time to get to work.

( gasping )

( angelic theme playing )

RAD:

What happened to this place?

Huh?

ALEXIS:

This line

is out of commission.

What?



I guess it's been scrapped

because it didn't fit

into the new plans for the city,

or it was abandoned to make way

for a new subway line

or something.



Huh?

ALEXIS:

Once I become president,

I'll change all that.



RAD: Alexis?

ALEXIS:

I'll put an end to the misuse

of public property,

and then I'll work

on saving the environment,

and I'll end world hunger.

RAD:

Alexis. Hey, Alexis.

Whoa.

Oh, sorry, guys.

I guess I got carried away.

( High Wire beeping )

Hey, where are you going?

( High Wire

continues beeping )

( upbeat theme playing )

Hey. It looks like

they found something.

ALL: Whoa.



Look, it's the Mini-Con.

Come on, Perceptor,

you can do it.

You've almost

got it, man.

Oh, no.

He can't reach it.

His armor's

getting in the way.

What are we gonna do?

RAD:

Come on, guys.

We gotta lend him a hand.



ALEXIS: But how?

CARLOS:

We need to find a ladder.

Huh?

Ah-ha.

( Carlos grunting )

RAD:

You can do it, Carlos.

CARLOS:

Okay, man.

ALEXIS:

Hurry up and grab it.

CARLOS:

I'm trying. I'm trying.

( grunting )

( screams )



( Alexis screaming )

Hang on, dude.



I've got it,

but it's really

wedged in there tight.

( Carlos grunting )

Oh-- Aah!



Carlos!

CARLOS:

Help me! I'm falling!

I'm falling!

I'm falling, man!

Uh-- Huh?

Oh, thanks a lot.

You saved me again.

Do you mind

if I put you down?

You're not exactly

a lightweight.

Huh?

RAD:

Wow.

It's stuck in there good.

And we gotta figure out someway

to get it out of that rock.

RAD:

Let's take it to the Autobots.

They'll know what to do.

( rocks clacking )



Huh?

( all screaming )

Huh?

( ominous theme playing )

Look up there.

What is that?

CARLOS: Was that a Decepticon?



I don't know, Carlos.

Rad, it's chasing us.

Of course it's a Decepticon.

Aah!

CARLOS:

Oh, no!

That's no way to trash

an old rail car.

When I'm president,

I'll change all that too.

Save the speeches

for later, okay?

Huh? Oh, dudes,

it's getting closer.

( High Wire beeping )

Huh?

I'm going for it,

you guys.

ALEXIS:

Wait, Rad.

RAD:

Here goes nothing.

( gasps )

Nice move.

Okay, Carlos,

now it's our turn.

Sureshock. Grinder.

We're gonna need your help

quick.

( sighs )

( gasps )

( ominous theme playing )

( all gasp )

( beeping )

Hey, Rad, I think we'd better

call Optimus for some help.

No can do.

We're too far out of range.

We gotta get out of here.

Huh?

Whoa-- Whoa!

( beeping )

( both gasp )



They won't stop

until they get their hands

on this Mini-Con, Alexis.

( Rad grunts )

Oh, no, we're trapped.

( grunts )

Oh, we're goners.



No, not yet.

No, Rad, don't.

( grunts )

Come on.

( sighs )

Ha.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Oh, no!

They're coming!

There.

High Wire,

give me a hand.

What do you know,

I think we lost them.

CARLOS:

Where are we now?

By looking at it I'd say this

tunnel was created by erosion

from an underground

water system.

This is amazing.

It's like a whole

different world exists

right here underneath

the city.

Hey. What are

you doing, Rad?

I'm recording our coordinates

for Optimus Prime.

You know what to do,

Laserbeak.

And good luck.

Those little brats

have got the Mini-con

we've been looking for,

( rumbling )

( grunts )

Then it's time

to get moving.

CYCLONUS:

Uh, nice work, boss.

MEGATRON:

Let's go. We've got work to do.

OPTIMUS:

Did you find them?

RED ALERT:

No, nothing.

HOT SHOT:

Me either.

OPTIMUS:

I don't like this.

What could have happened

to those kids?

Laserbeak?

♪ Transformers ♪

RAD ( over recording ):

This is our location, Optimus.

And we could use your help

right about now.

HOT SHOT:

He's got the Mini-Con.

OPTIMUS:

Red Alert, can you analyze

Laserbeak's data

and determine

their coordinates?

RED ALERT:

No problem, Optimus.

RAD:

Hey, guys,

I think we should move

to a safer location.

I don't know

if that's such a good idea.

If we move, they might

not be able to find us.

Huh?

( gasps )

What's up?

Uh, did you just feel

the earth shake?

Huh?

RED ALERT: What was that?



OPTIMUS: Let's move it.

Oh, no. They found us.

Let's get out of here.

( all gasp )

( ominous theme playing )

( Megatron laughs )

MEGATRON:

So there you are.

Now hand over that Mini-Con

before you get hurt.

( all scream )

CYCLONUS:

Hello, kiddies.

Looks like you picked

a dead end,

if you know what I mean.

( Cyclonus guffawing )



( all screaming )

DEMOLISHER:

You can't escape.

Give up, humans.

There's no way

you can get away from us now.

DEMOLISHER:

Hand over that Mini-Con, punk.

RAD:

No chance. You'll never get it.

I'm giving it

to the Autobots.

MEGATRON:

That is quite enough.

I'm tired of your games,

children.

You kids wanna see

how the big boys play?

( all screaming )

( whimpering )

( screams )

( all gasp )

What the--?

( grunting )

Let's see how you like this.

( grunting )

Transform.

( all gasp )

That dude is so amazing.

RAD:

Yeah, sure,

but whose side is he on?

Huh?

( snickering )

STARSCREAM:

Combat is not a spectator sport.

( groans )

( grunting )

Come on.

Have a blast of this.

( grunts )

MEGATRON:

You'll pay, whoever you are.

RAD:

There goes the Mini-Con.

Ha-ha.

Look at those pathetic fools.

They've all been

buried alive.

Uh, that's great, sir,

but the Mini-Con is buried too.

Then why don't you go

and dig it up, you numbskull?

Why is it that I have to spell

everything out for you?

( truck horn honking )



Huh?

Transform.

Transform.

Transform.

It seems you're a little late,

Optimus Prime.

The Mini-Con is already

in my possession.

Then let the children go.

I'd love to,

but I can't find them

in all this rubble.



What?

I guess you should

have gotten here earlier,

because you missed

your little friends.

They really brought

the house down.

Hey, you better tell us

where they are, or else.

Or what?

You'll blow a circuit?

( laughs )

Why you...

( grunting )

Stay where you are

and nobody gets hurt.

Once we have the Mini-Con,

we'll be on our way.

Then you Autobots can dig

in the dirt all you like.

CYCLONUS:

Woo-hoo! I found it!

Go on. Scan my image.

That's it.

Now show me what you got.

It's time to power link.

Let the good times roll.

( guffawing )

CYCLONUS:

Oh, yeah. A hole in one.

This exercise appears to be

a waste of a Mini-Con,

but at least the Autobots

didn't get it.

Return to base immediately.

Hey, Optimus.

Sorry about the mess.

I hope it doesn't wreck

your recovery operation.

( laughs )

That rat.

OPTIMUS:

Hot Shot, Snap out of it.

We've got work to do.

( gasps )

Hi. Looking for the kids?

Don't worry, they're safe

and sound right here.

Smokescreen.

ALL:

Smokescreen?

What?

It's really nice

to meet you kids.

So, Hot Shot,

how you been, pal?

I'm doing just fine,

thanks.

So where you been, hiding?

Under a rock or something?

Very funny.

I came through

the warp gate

and ended up in a tunnel

all by myself.

Luckily I found my way out

and ran into these kids,

and I decided

to start following them.

Did I scare you, guys?

Nah, we knew you were

on our side the whole time.

Are you saying you were trying

to help us all along?

Sure. Of course I was.

( laughs )

You're still a wise guy,

Smokescreen.

Smokescreen.

Optimus.

We've been waiting for you

to arrive for quite some time.

Yes, sir. And I'm really sorry

for the delay,

but now I'm ready for duty.

Glad to have you

on the team.

Hey, Smokescreen.

It sure took you

long enough.

RAD:

So, what if we didn't get

the Mini-Con?

The important thing was that

Smokescreen was reunited

with the other Autobots.

And now we have another friend

we can count on in tough times.

HOT SHOT:

Excuses, excuses.
