Bumblebee-lieve it,
Bee showed up again too!
- Hey, guys!
- But Megatron
and his Decepticons
threatened to crush
everything in their path.
So to protect the universe,
Optimus destroyed his only way
home--
the Space Bridge--
[energy crackles]

humans and Cybertronians
could live together in peace.
- [in deep voice] Huh.
Maybe this Optimus guy
has a point.

w*r was finally over.

to Bumblebee?

heard from again.
But Bee might still
be alive somewhere!

Bee an Optimist
Prime, not a Negatron.

- Uh, thanks for the story,
Dad.
- [sniffles] Oh. I'm gonna need
another burrito.

- I'm getting confusion?

if we are Transformers,

Just wait till we tell them

Mo, we can't tell
Dad or Mom that.
- How come?
- Think about it--
we're just kids.
These are two totally new
Transformers born on Earth!
They'll take them away.
You got to hide here
for tonight, okay?
- Aww. You feel frowny.
- You don't want to be with us?
- No! We do.
Listen, Thrash, I was
leaving this place forever
when I met you and Twitch.
But now, you're the only
reasons I might stay.
[pained grunt]
The second reason.
Please just hide till morning?
- Then we'll figure
out how to make
everything A-okay
with our parents
so you can stay with us
forever!
- I sense hope.
You mean what you say.
- Absolutely.
Tomorrow, we'll show you what
it means to be Transformers.
- Hmm.
Till then, check these out.
You'll start to see
why you're so special.

Why? That sounds so boring.

Yo, these Transformers guys

They were vehicles

They shouldn't be out here!

You go hide,

I feel so minivan!
- Yeah.
Twitch and Thrash need
a crash course
on Transformer life.
[Thrash yelps and grunts]
With less crashing.
- Maybe we can get Dad
to tell the story
of how Transformers
came to Earth!
Twitch and Thrash can listen

Tell us about

[chuckles] Okay! Okay, okay.
On September , ,
everything on Earth changed.
But we begin on Cybertron.
[grand orchestral music]
A planet light years away
populated by heroic Autobots
and dastardly Decepticons.
- Dad, isn't that
oversimplifying things
a little?
- Hey, who's
telling this story?
An epic battle raged
between both sides--
the mighty Optimus Prime
versus the cruel Megatron.
[in deep voice]
One shall stand.
One shall fall.
- Ooh! Can I do Megatron?
- Mm-hmm.
- [in deep voice] Why throw
away your life so recklessly?
- Enter Bumblebee,
the most daring, most brave--
- We get it, Dad.
He's your favorite.
- [chuckles] You know it!
Bumblebee held the line
on Cybertron.
- I got this, you guys!
- [in deep voice]
Okay, bye-bye, thanks.
[energy blasts]
[energy booms and crackles]
[energy warbles]
On Earth,
incredibly brave humans
joined forces
with Optimus Prime--
- Like Mom!
- There's nobody braver,
kiddo.
And, if you can
Bumblebee-lieve it,
Bee showed up again too!
- Hey, guys!
- But Megatron
and his Decepticons
threatened to crush
everything in their path.
So to protect the universe,
Optimus destroyed his only way
home--
the Space Bridge--
[energy crackles]
With the hope that
humans and Cybertronians
could live together in peace.
- [in deep voice] Huh.
Maybe this Optimus guy
has a point.
- The Transformers
w*r was finally over.
[birds chirping]
- Dad, what happened
to Bumblebee?
- He was never
heard from again.
But Bee might still
be alive somewhere!
Like I always say,
Bee an Optimist
Prime, not a Negatron.
[Mo giggles]
- Uh, thanks for the story,
Dad.
- [sniffles] Oh. I'm gonna need
another burrito.
- Well? Wasn't that epic?
[energy whirs]
- I'm getting confusion?
- It's just that even
if we are Transformers,
we don't feel like
part of their story.
Or fight.
- Yeah.
I mean,
we can be warriors later.
Right now, I want
to learn about this place!
