GRIMLOCK:

(continuing)

Doooooooow! Why boy hit by dose?

WHEELIE:

(folds arms across his

chest)

Wheelie say, find friends today!

(nods defiantly)

Grimlock and Slag react as we

CUT TO:

THE QUINTESSON "COURTROOM"

Kup and Hot Rod stand on the platform over the Sharkticon pit.

They are "bound" by restraining bolts.

ANGLE ON THE QUINTESSON JUDGE

QUINTESSON JUDGE

Before we deliver your verdict, would you like to

beg for your lives?

ANGLE ON KUP AND HOT ROD

Kup turns to Hot Rod.

KUP:

Remember when you put me together today?

HOT ROD:

(sarcastic)

Sure, that's all I got to think about.

KUP:

I know what part you forgot.

QUINTESSON JUDGE (V.O.)

Silence or I'll hold you in contempt of this court.

HOT ROD:

I have nothing but contempt for this court.

ANGLE ON THE QUINTESSON JUDGES

Suddenly, their heads swivel around to deaths heads.

ON KUP AND HOT ROD

The platform drops away and they tumble...

KUP AND HOT ROD - TRACKING

Suddenly, Kup in double-jointed fashion slips out of the

restraining bolt...

KUP:

That doohickey you lost was part of my shoulder socket.

Watch this, lad... without it, I'm double jointed

as Houdini.

Then, he transforms to humanoid mode and shoots off Hot Rod's

bolt.

HOT ROD:

Wish you'd figured that out a little sooner.

KUP:

Better late than never!

ANGLE ON THE SHARKTICON PIT

In full humanoid mode, they land, their weapons drawn.

ANGLE ON ALL:

Kup and Hot Rod fire, driving some Sharkticons back.

HOT ROD:

They've got more Sharkticons than we have

photon charges!

Kup transforms to Auto mode.

KUP:

Let's hold a demolition derby!

Then, he roars into a bunch of them, slamming a massive stack

into the wall.

ANGLE ON HOT ROD

He transforms, too and does the same thing.

ANGLE ON THE SHARKTICON PIT

As fast as the Autobots can run the miserable things over, new

swarms of them come out.

ANGLE ON KUP AND HOT ROD

They clear out a circle in the center of the pit and transform to

humanoid mode.

HOT ROD:

Didn't even bend a fender.

KUP:

Yeah, but look. There are a lot more of

those cam dinging, grill-crackin' things.

WHAT HE SEES:

is a wave of larger, more powerful Sharkticons.

HOT ROD:

We can't hold out forever, but we

can give them one whopper of a repair

bill.

ANGLE ON THE SHARKTICONS

They charge Kup and Hot Rod

Kup and Hot Rod

fire into them, destroying several, but are....

... Soon overrun.

The Sharkticons crawl all over them, munching on their metal.

SUDDENLY --

DINOBOTS (O.S.)

(WAR WHOOP)

ANGLE ON THE DINOBOTS

They fly down and land on the pile, transforming into Dinobot

mode.

ASSORTED SHOTS OF DINOBOT CARNAGE

SLUDGE in brontosaurus mode, swats several around with his tail,

while stomping them with his feet.

GRIMLOCK:

Lowers his teeth to devour a much smaller Sharkticon, the

Sharkticon bares his teeth, realizes that he's a second stringer,

and scampers away.

GRIMLOCK:

Me Grimlock want to munch metal!

Slag barrels into Sharkticons, making a quick shishkebob out of

them, while...

Swoop picks two up with his claws, flies in the air and drops

them on other Sharkticons.

THE SHARKTICONS:

suddenly back off and begin transforming (bowing) to the

dinobots.

ANGLE ON ALL:

Kup and Hot Rod dig themselves out of a pile of Sharkticon parts.

HOT ROD:

I never thought I'd be so happy to see

those big bozos.

ANGLE ON GRIMLOCK

He turns to Hot Rod.

GRIMLOCK:

Me Grimlock no bozo. Me king!

ANGLE ON QUINTESSON JUDGES

They look down, their angry faces showing.

QUINTESSON JUDGE

Sharkticons! Execute them.

ANGLE ON GRIMLOCK

He points to the Quintessons...

GRIMLOCK:

Me Grimlock say execute them.

THE SHARKTICONS:

for a brief instant, don't seem to know what to do.

Then, they charge the Quintessons.

THE CHASE:

The Quintessons start to flee, but it's clear that the

Sharkticons, who climb over the stacked bodies of other

Sharkticons, are going to catch them.

KUP:

I think the problems on this planet

will be solved very shortly.

ON HOT ROD:

HOT ROD:

But what about our problems. We need a ship.

WHEELIE:

WHEELIE:

You get a ship if I get a trip.

ANGLE ON HOT ROD

He turns to the little, feral, robot.

HOT ROD:

Who are you.

SLAG AND WHEELIE

The dinobot lifts up Wheelie.

SLAG:

Him Wheelie, him friend.

HOT ROD:

HOT ROD:

He'll be mine too, if he can find a Quintesson ship.

ANGLE ON WHEELIE

He points into the distance...

WHAT WE SEE:

is the strangest looking corkscrew ship we've every seen

sticking out of the ground.

HOT ROD:

That's a ship?

EXT. THE SECOND MOON OF CYBERTRON

PAN ACROSS an enormous stockpile of weaponry as we hear the

terrible roar we have come to associate with Unicron.

SPIKE:

If this doesn't do it, nothing will.

ANGLE ON SPIKE:

He sets a timer to 20 seconds. The L.E.D. clicks down.

BUMBLEBEE:

now with a new bumpersticker which is a Unicron with a red circle

and slash through it, looks very fidgety.

BUMBLEBEE:

Let's get out of here.

BUMBLEBEE AND SPIKE

They run over to a small space ship as...

... The timer counts down.

THE SPACESHIP:

takes off.

ANGLE ON THE SECOND MOON

Now, for the first time, we see what is really going on. Unicron

looms behind it, about to do the big munch.
