The Transformers Page #5

HOT ROD:

Yiiiiiiiiii!

ON BLITZWING:

about to fire, when...

...Kup's arm descends into SHOT, spinning Blitzwing's turret

around.

Blitzwing's blast, scorches...

SHRAPNEL:

who is flying nearby.

BLITZWING:

transforms to robot mode and turns as...

Kup comes flying, feet first, into Blitzwing knocking him off the

mountain ledge.

FOLLOW Kup as he lands in front of Hot Rod, who is just coming to

a stop at the bottom with Daniel.

HOT ROD:

Not bad for an old timer!

KUP:

(gruffly)

Old timer?! That's something you'll never be if

you don't get back to the city. You know what we

used to do with cocky, insubordinate upstarts?

HOT ROD:

(interrupting)

Save it.

STARSCREAM:

transforming into jet mode, fires on them with laser bursts

which...

... chew up the ground beside them.

HOT ROD AND KUP:

with Daniel race toward Autobot City, transforming into vehicle

mode as shots gouge the terrain around them.

CUT TO:

PERCEPTOR IN MICROSCOPE MODE ON "BATTLEMENT" OF AUTOBOT CITY

he watches...

PERCEPTOR'S POV - THE DECEPTICON ATTACK

Megatron, Insecticons, Constructicons, and other Decepticon

forces attack the city from the sky and ground.

PERCEPTOR:

transforms to humanoid and runs toward......

... Three new Autobots, ARCEE, a lovely female Autobot of about

Hot Rod's age, SPRINGER, a very muscular and bantering "Indiana

Jones" type Autobot and ULTRA MAGNUS, the large and soldierly

City Commander.

PERCEPTOR:

Ultra Magnus.....a cursory evaluation

of Decepticon capability indicates a

distinct tactical deficit!

ULTRA MAGNUS:

In other words, Perceptor...

SPRINGER:

(translating)

We're outnumbered!

He turns and FIRES from his hip.

DIRGE IN JET MODE

Zooms in to strafe as...

SPRINGER'S BLAST...

...Explodes on his wing tip.

SPRINGER, ULTRA MAGNUS AND OTHERS

as Decepticon BOMBS AND LASER FIRE pour in on the City.

ULTRA MAGNUS:

Springer, Arcee, transform Autobot City!

HIGH ANGLE - LOOKING DOWN ON COURTYARD - TRACKING SPRINGER AND ARCEE

STARSCREAM (V.O.)

Pathetic fools!

STARSCREAM:

TRANSFORMS and hovers in robot mode, firing all around

them as they...

..dive for the switch and pull it down.

STARSCREAM:

There's no escape...Uuuuh!

Just then, the floor of the courtyard STARTS TRANSFORMING -

- the center line of the floor snaps shut like the halves of a

gigantic steel shelled clam, trapping Starscream's foot.

STARSCREAM:

Agggggggh! My foot!

ANGLE ON SPRINGER AND ARCEE

as they make it through an archway which TRANSFORMS INTO A STEEL

SHIELD as they run through

ON STARSCREAM - HIS FOOT STILL CAUGHT IN "CLAM" OF COURTYARD

He struggles to get free before he is crunched by the still

transforming city.
