The Transformers Page #12

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.

(whistles)

This must be the junk capital of the

universe!

LONG SHOT- DANIEL AND THE OTHERS

as they start DIGGING for parts to repair the ship, sinister

Junkions begin to emerge from the junk to watch them. Their

leader, WRECK-GAR, speaks to his fellow Junkions.

WRECK-GAR

(in guttural, rusty,

metallic rumble)

Stop thief! No welcome-wagon, "hello stranger!"

that good coffee flavor

OTHER JUNKIONS:

Yeah, or your money back!

Wreck-Gar shows large JUNK GUN with all sorts of razor sharp fins

and rusty little rocket missiles mounted around the howitzer

like barrel

WRECK-GAR

Operators are standing by!

They laugh in guttural, clanking sounds and look out at Springer

and the others who keep working as we

CUT TO:

EXT. THE GATE TO THE QUINTESSON PALACE

At first, we see only the face of a sinister Quintesson

gatekeeper, backed up by heavily armed Sharkticons.

QUINTESSON:

Greetings, noble strangers.

ANGLE ON THE DINOBOTS

They stand at the gate, looking more like kids showing up at your

door wondering if you can come out and play, than like serious

robots on a serious mission.

GRIMLOCK:

Yes, me, Grimlock, noble!

Me, Grimlock search for friends.

ANGLE ON QUINTESSON AND GRIMLOCK

The Quintesson, showing his friendly face, smiles.

QUINTESSON:

And who might they be?

GRIMLOCK:

Autobots. Hot Rod and Kup.

QUINTESSON:

(feigning recognition)

Oh yes. A young one and an old one.

GRIMLOCK:

Yes. You know friends. Where are they?

QUINTESSON:

They went down that path.

He points to...

A PATH:

It probably isn't lined with primroses, but it should be.

GRIMLOCK:

GRIMLOCK:

You good friend to Grimlock. I reward

you, sometime.

With that, the four Dinobots head towards the "primrose path."

ANGLE ON THE QUINTESSON

His head rotates and he smiles a sinister, evil smile.

EXT. UNICRON

Galvatron stands upon the demonic planet, in an extremely

contorted position.

GALVATRON:

Why do you torture me?!

VARIOUS ANGLES ON UNICRON

We have no idea where this godly voice is coming from, but this

place sure is spooky.

UNICRON:

You have failed.

GALVATRON:

No, Unicron. Ultra Magnus is dead.

UNICRON:

Then where is the matrix?

GALVATRON:

Destroyed, with him.

UNICRON:

The matrix can not be destroyed.

(pause)

And Ultra Magnus lives on the

planet of Junk. Stalk him. Cut him open!

And bring the matrix to me.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. THE PRIMROSE PATH

They step along the primrose path, not noticing as sinister

things start to happen all around them.

ANGLE ON A METAL EATING PLANT

This thing looks like a metal version of a "venus fly trap," and

it has a malevolent red eye which lights up.

Swoop walks past it in humanoid mode.

SNAP!

It misses him by an inch.

GRIMLOCK:

Me Grimlock, positive Hot Rod and Kup

close! Get thump, thump, thump...

(taps his head hard)

ANGLE ON THE GROUND - IN FRONT OF SLAG

Suddenly, a section of stones drop away in front of Slag

revealing a spiked pit...

SLAG:

Me, Slag say you are full of beryllium balony.

He is just about to fall in when...

ANGLE ON GRIMLOCK AND SLAG

Grimlock, in dino mode, slaps him with his tail, knocking him

away an instant before he steps into the hole...

GRIMLOCK:

Me, Grimlock, say you full of cesium salami!

Slag gets up...

SLAG:

Beryllium balony!

GRIMLOCK:

Argh!

ANGLE ON GRIMLOCK

He is about to pounce on Slag when a massive tree, which is

actually more like a sword, suddenly is spring and arcs

toward him.

The machete like blade strikes the ground, between Grimlock and

Slag narrowly missing them. He turns and sees the thing

stocking in the ground.

GRIMLOCK:

Me, Grimlock think trees here are

cheap model.

SLAG:

Like your head! (laughs at own joke)

Grimlock jumps on Slag and wrestles him to the ground.

Suddenly, a SQUEAKY, ODDLY CHILDISH VOICE speaks from o.s.

SQUEAKY VOICE (WHEELIE)

Friends find. Look behind.

GRIMLOCK:

(furious)

Who say that?

HIS P.O.V. - WHEELIE

WHEELIE is the Wolf Boy of Quintesson - an Autobot who's been

evading the Sharkticons since his parents' ship crashed, killing

everybody else in his party. He wears a necklace of Sharkticon

teeth, packs a three bladed laser knife and a special SLING which

hurls FIRE STONES.

He fears nothing, especially the Dinobots, and he cockily struts

into the clear...

... walks right up Sludge's tail onto Sludge's back and then

shinnies up his neck and jumps onto...

... Slag's head where he stands eye to eye with Grimlock

WHEELIE:

Friends find. Look behind. Many Face

lie. You fool! You buy!

GRIMLOCK AND WHEELIE

GRIMLOCK:

(eyes blaze, furious)

Me, Grimlock, "fool?"

WHEELIE:

(smiling breezily)

Picture you got. Now fool you not!

(he laughs in a wild,

metallic cackle)

Grimlock raises a claw to swipe Wheelie off Slag's head

GRIMLOCK:

Me, Grimlock, no like you!

ON WHEELIE:

as he scowls and quickly loads FIRESTONE IN SLING and slings it

onto Grimlock's nose where it EXPLODES making Grimlock yowl and

pull back, feeling his reddened nose and speaking through his

nose angrily
