The Transformers Page #4

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.

KUP:

disgustedly watches Hot Rod drive up the mountain.

KUP:

(to sound like swearing)

Cam bustin', turbo revvin' young punk.

CUT TO:

MOUNTAIN ABOVE AUTOBOT CITY- LOOKOUT POINT

Hot Rod arrives at a viewing platform carved in mountainside and

TRANSFORMS back to humanoid mode.

Daniel rushes to a set of PUBLIC VIEWING BINOCULARS and peers

into them.

HOT ROD:

This is it! Now take a squint through those babies.

DANIEL:

Hot Rod, look! There's a hole in the shuttle!

HOT ROD:

What!?

DANIEL'S P.O.V - BINOCULAR MATTE - THE SHUTTLE

The hole Megatron blasted in order to get into the shuttle mars

the otherwise perfect exterior of the ship.

ANGLE ON DANIEL AND HOT ROD

Hot Rod looks up and a pair of futuristic binoculars pop out of

his eyes.

HOT ROD'S POV - THE SHUTTLE

Hot Rod's vision, now, infinitely better than human vision, spots

something truly disturbing --

-- Starscream, and several Constructicons inside the ship!

HOT ROD (O.S.)

Decepticons!

ANGLE ON HOT ROD

Drawing his gun, he starts FIRING on the shuttle.

HOT ROD:

This is for Ironhide. As so's this!

ANGLE ON THE SHUTTLE

Rays streak through the hole searing...

STARSCREAM:

He ducks away from the door.

STARSCREAM:

I'm hit!

ANGLE ON MEGATRON

Standing behind a pair of Decepticons who pilot the shuttle, he

turns to see...

THE CONSTRUCTICONS

Firing out of the hole.

MEGATRON:

He's furious.

MEGATRON:

You imbecile, our cover is blown!

STARSCREAM:

It was your stupid strategy!

CUT TO:

ANGLE ON KUP, CONSTRUCTION CREW

Kup and the Autobot Construction Crew watch Hot Rod shooting at

the shuttle.

KUP:

What's that darn fool doing?

Hound looks up and points.

HOUND:

Decepticons!

ANGLE ON THE SHUTTLE

Suddenly it cracks open, and Decepticons shoot out of the

wreckage like toys from a pinata.

CLOSE - MEGATRON

In mid-air

MEGATRON:

(shouting to forces)

Attack!

(he looks down and fires)

HOT ROD AND DANIEL

Hot Rod pulls Daniel back as Megatron's BLAST SHEARS OFF the

VIEWING PLATFORM which crumbles and falls down the steep

mountain!

HOT ROD:

Hang on!

Putting Daniel under one arm, he pivots and kicks up at...

...Hook and Scavenger who are descending on him in humanoid

mode...

...causing them both to crash against the mountainside which

starts a...

...landslide which Hot Rod "rides" down the slope, pursued by...

... Decepticon FIRE.

HOT ROD:

(SHOUTING)

WHoooooooaaah

ANGLE ON BOTTOM OF MOUNTAIN SLOPE - BLITZWING

Blitzwing flies down in jet mode, transforms to robot

mode, looks up at the "slide riding" Hot Rod and Daniel,

transforms to tank mode and takes aim.

BLITZWING:

(amused)

Come on down, Autobrat!

ON HOT ROD AND DANIEL

as Hot Rod tumbles, he covers Daniel with his arms and tries

unsuccessfully to slow his fall.
