The Transformers Page #6

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.

In the nick of time, he shoots a "shoe horn" like projection from

his wrist and pulls his boot free, then...

...dodges away.

... The "clam" shape RETRACTS COMPLETELY and more armored

shielding SLIDES INTO PLACE TO COVER where the Courtyard was.

He winces in mid-air and flies away as the city continues to

transform to a fortress below.

CUT TO:

ANOTHER ANGLE - THE TRANSFORMING CITY

The towers and buildings of the city, picot and retract..

... withdrawing like periscopes, turning and vanishing into

steel shield coverings.

ON MEGATRON:

as he FLIES OVER SCENE, BLASTING this way and that, shouting

MEGATRON:

Breach their defenses!

ON INSECTICONS:

who are trailing Megatron, attack the fast CLOSING CITY, trying

to GNAW AND DEVOUR their way through the PORTS and BRIDGES

leading inside.

KICKBACK:

(Chewing on jamb of doorway

near bridge)

Delicious, eh Shrapnel?

SHRAPNEL:

(CHEWING on draw-bridge to

City)

A little heavy on the electrons. Electrons.

ZOOM UP TO:

KUP, HOT ROD AND DANIEL

as Kup and Hot Rod are racing down mountain toward the

transforming city's drawbridge.

KUP (V.O.)

The Insecticons are in our way.

HOT ROD (V.O.)

Wrong! They're our way in! Yaaaaaaay-hah!

ANOTHER ANGLE:

Hot Rod speeds up, passes Kup and...

... rides up and over Kickback's back, using it like a stunt

driver's ramp to...

... hurtle across the open space between Kickback and the doorway

into the city.

ON SHRAPNEL:

As Shrapnel looks up and reacts...

...Kup hurtles up and over Kickback's back just as Kickback is

starting to rise to see what knocked him face down onto the

bridge in the first place.

... Kup goes SAILING OT OVER OPEN SPACE between Kickback's back

and the doorway into the city-

-clobbering Shrapnel, who is in the way and landing on the city

doorstep, driving in as...

THE DOORWAY:

transforms, shutting down with metal shields with a "clank" sound

as Kickback and Shrapnel both leap at is to...

... bite Kup and Hot Rod and instead BREAK THEIR TEETH on steel

door, falling face down with a grunt as LAST BITS OF CITY

TRANSFORM.

CUT TO:

INT. CITY SIDE OF DRAWBRIDGE

as Kup and Hot Rod roll in and TRANSFORM where Ultra Magnus is

waiting for them with Perceptor. Other Autobots are moving into

battle stations in the b.g. and ALARMS SOUND.

Daniel looks on in awe.

ULTRA MAGNUS:

(sternly)

You can explain your security violation later,

Hot Rod! Now, man your battle station.

HOT ROD:

I don't have to explain my so called violation

to you or anyone...

KUP:

(tugs him along roughly)

He said "later!"

Kup moves OFF with Hot Rod and Daniel.

CUT TO:

BLASTER ON FORTIFIED " CROWS NEST" LOOKOUT TOWER
