The Transformers Page #2

Synopsis: This theatrical movie based on the television series (which was also based on a popular multiform robot toyline) did not go over very well at the box office. The movie takes place in 2005, twenty years after the television series, and chronicles the efforts of the heroic Autobots to defend their homeworld Cybertron from the evil Decepticons. Both factions are seething with anger, and that hatred has blinded them to a hideous menace headed their way. That hideous menace is the colossal planet known as Unicron, who has been ready to consume anything that stands in its way. The only thing that can stop Unicron is the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, which is possessed by the Autobots and which the Decepticons, through Unicron's orders, plan to take away from them.

PRIME:

Now, all we need is a little Energon

and a lot of luck.

ANGLE BEHIND PRIME

We see a bank of computers. Suddenly, a small tape deck pops

open...

a cassette pops out and transforms into...

...Laserbeak who flies away unseen.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. SPACE - LATER

The shuttle hurtles though a massive asteroid field.

PROWL (V.O.)

Slow down, Ironhide. We

want to get to Autobot city in one piece.

CUT TO:

INT. THE SHUTTLE

Ironhide is at the controls.

IRONHIDE:

If I can dodge Dececpticon rays,

I can sure as shootin' dodge a

couple of asteroids.

Suddenly, there is a terrible BANG! on the side of the ship, and

the two Autobots are thrown from their seats.

PROWL:

You were saying?

IRONHIDE (irked)

That wasn't an asteroid.

There is a blast of light and they turn to see...

ANGLE ON THE SHIP

The most powerful laser light anybody has ever seen cuts a gaping

hole in the side of the ship...

Then, when the light clears, a panel of the ship falls in and we

see -

MEGATRON!

In all his glory.

MEGATRON:

Die Autobots!

Then, he transforms to Gun Mode, spins into STARSCREAM'S arms and

Starscream fires.

BRAWN:

is cut in half by Megatron's blast.

ON PROWL:

as SCAVENGER MELTS HIM DOWN.

THE INSECTICONS:

...eat away at the hole in the shuttle to make way for...

...an ARMY of other Decepticons including Laserbeak who enter,

firing.

IRONHIDE AND RATCHET

While FIRING back are FUSED TOGETHER...

... then blasted apart and fall in smoking, glowing fragments.

ON STARSCREAM AND MEGATRON

As they enter the now empty ship, a number of Decepticons flood

past them, taking positions and searching for other living

Autobots.

MEGATRON:

This was almost too easy, Starscream.

STARSCREAM:

Much easier, oh mighty Megatron, than attacking

the real threat:
the Autobots moon base.

MEGATRON:

You're an idiot, Starscream. Were we simply to

wipe out that minuscule base, they could build another

one. But when we slip by their security systems

in their own ship and destroy Autobot city, the

Autobots will be vanquished forever!

IRONHIDE:

Fat chance, Megatron!

Ironhide pulls himself up and grabs onto Megatron who flings him

against the wall.

MEGATRON:

Such heroic nonsense!

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. EARTH - CLOSE SHOT- MINIATURE RADAR SCREEN

A child's hands hold a scanner device which tracks a TRAVELING

BLIP across a star map towards a pulsing dot which represents the

Earth.

DANIEL (V.O.)

The Shuttle just zipped past checkpoint zeta.

ON DANIEL:

Daniel, a classic twelve year old American boy watches the

portable viewer which is like an over-sized Boy Scout compass.

WIDEN SHOT to show he is at an old fashioned "fishin' hole" on

Earth - surrounded by weeping willows, assorted trees and shrubs,

and that his fishing pole is stuck in the dirt, the line floating

lazily out on the water.
