FADE IN:
EXT. SPACE
A small planet glows in the light of its sun.
Suddenly, we hear a loud rumble, and see a thick, electronic
mist behind the planet...
Then, the electronic mist begins to engulf the planet, and we
hear the horrible sounds of destruction.
Almost like somebody, or something, is eating it.
PUSH DOWN TO:
EXT. THE NEAR SIDE OF THE PLANET'S SURFACE
Strange robotic creatures scramble around the planet in a wild panic.
It looks like Pompeii must have looked as Vesuvius erupted.
ANGLE ON ONE OF THE CREATURES - TRACKING
The creature is KRANIX. We will meet him later on
in a very different context, but for now, he is
running from the ever-growing mist that threatens to
engulf him.
As Kranix runs, another creature, ARBLUS, calls to him.
ARBLUS:
Transform and flee, Kranix! You must warn
all you meet of the horror of Unicron!
Suddenly, the pitiful creature is surrounded by the strange
energy cloud and it looks like his body has simultaneously caught
fire and been doused with acid.
KRANIX:
Arblus! No!
ANGLE ON KRANIX:
The mist threatens to engulf him too.
He transforms into a small rocket ship and...
He takes off.
As we rise higher and higher in the atmosphere, we see the horror
wrought by the hideous and still mysterious Unicron.
The planet cracks like an egg and rivers of lava leak out.
The energy cloud surrounds it and...
Dissolves everything...
... And when the smoke clears, we get our first look at Unicron.
It is horrifying.
A massive, metal orb with a gaping maw and a field of electricity.
PAN FORWARD to SHOW that this hideous planet is on a direct
collision course with...
MOONS ORBITING CYBERTRON IN DEEP SPACE
There are TWO MECHANISTIC MOONS orbiting the huge planet Cybertron.
But we are most concerned with a small, greenish metal one.
NARRATOR:
It is the year 2005. The treacherous Decepticons have
conquered the Autobots' home planet of Cybertron. But
from secret staging grounds on two of Cybertron's moons
the valiant Autobots prepare to retake their homeland.
At first, we see nothing unusual or suspicious. Then, pulling
closer, we see that the top of the moon is covered with moon
camouflage "netting" and underneath it is a huge cache of
futuristic weapons.
This is the Autobot staging ground for an assault on Cybertron.
DOLLY THROUGH THE COMPLEX until we arrive at a Command Center
where several Autobots peer into monitors, running constant
surveillance on Cybertron.
ANGLE ON IRONHIDE
He peers into a monitor.
As he speaks, we see the monitor PAN to an area where a huge
Decepticon Symbol is emblazoned on Cybertron.
IRONHIDE:
Every time I look into this thing, my
circuits sizzle. I'm tired of this waiting
game, Prime. When are we gonna start bustin'
Deceptichops?
He stands over a holographic map which shows various invasion
plans for Cybertron.
OPTIMUS PRIME:
We still don't have enough Energon cubes to power a
full scale assault, Ironhide.
IRONHIDE:
Then let me make another run to Autobot City
on Earth. I'll bring you back more cubes than
you'll know what to do with.
ANGLE ON PRIME:
He solemnly hands down an order
PRIME:
Alright, ready the shuttle for launch.
ANGLE ON IRONHIDE
He raises a fist in a warwhoop!
IRONHIDE:
YAHOO!
(looking into monitor)
Your days are numbered now Decepticreeps.
Ironhide transforms and Races toward a mountain, which stands
about a half mile from the secret Autobot facility.
OPTIMUS PRIME (V.O.)
COMMAND CENTER - ANGLE ON THE CONSOLES
JAZZ:
No sign of Decepticons in this sector, Prime.
PRIME:
What about Moon Base 2?
JAZZ:
Jazz to Moon Base 2.
PAN UP and through the sky to -
ANOTHER MOON:
This is the second moon. It is much closer to Cybertron than the
first one. This is where Bumblebee and Spike are stationed.
JAZZ (V.O.)
Jazz to Moon Base 2.
They stand together a communication console. Spike is now 35
years old. Bumblebee looks as he has always looked, save for a
couple of funny bumper stickers on his tail: I (heart)
Cybertron. I (club) Decepticons.
BUMBLEBEE:
Bumblebee and Spike here.
JAZZ (V.O.)
We're about to send up the bird.
Any Decepticon shenanigans in your sector?
BUMBLEBEE:
All clear, Jazz.
(pause)
SPIKE:
Hey, Ironhide, tell my son, Daniel, I miss him,
and tell him I'll be coming home as soon as we've
kicked Megatron's tail across the galaxy.
CUT TO:
INT. THE SHUTTLE
Ironhide and Prowl sit at the controls, running a series of
pre-launch tests.
IRONHIDE:
Will do, Spike.
ANGLE ON PRIME, CLIFFJUMPER, AND THE OTHERS
Standing at the Command Center, watching:
PRIME:
Commence countdown, Cliffjumper.
CLIFFJUMPER:
Five...Four...Three...Two...
THE LUNAR "MOUNTAIN"
Suddenly, smoke starts pouring out of the mountain.
CLIFFJUMPER:
One....
Then, the "mountain" which must be made of paper mache or
something blows away revealing --
The shuttle!
CLIFFJUMPER (V.O.)
Liftoff.
Suddenly, the shuttle rips out of the ground in a ball of fire.
As it takes off, we realize this isn't any dinky shuttle, but a
massive ship, capable of carrying all the energon needed to
fight a war and an army to boot.
The screen is bathed in smoke and fire which slowly clears.
ANGLE ON PRIME:
As he watches the shuttle shoot into the distance.
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...
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:
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.
