The Transformers Page #14

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.

ANGLE ON BUMBLEBEE AND SPIKE

They roar away.

ON UNICRON:

His mist surrounds the planet...

ON BUMBLEBEE AND SPIKE

They stop their ship in space.

BUMBLEBEE:

Five, four, three, two, one...

ON THE SECOND MOON AND UNICRON

BLAMMMOLA!

An incredible display of fireworks goes off, seemingly blowing

Unicron to smithereens.

ON BUMBLEBEE AND SPIKE

They slap palms.

Then, they look up, horrified.

BUMBLEBEE:

It isn't even dented.

SPIKE:

Let's get out of here!

ON UNICRON:

The great Maw opens and we hear a grand cosmic roar!

Suddenly, the smoke and space junk from the explosion are sucked

into his mouth.

ON BUMBLEBEE AND SPIKE

They try to fly away.

SPIKE:

We're being sucked into it!

ANGLE ON THEIR SHIP AND UNICRON

CUT TO:

Absolutely, positively, definitely...

WIDE SHOT TO INCLUDE DANIEL

DANIEL:

This exo-suit is fantastic!

(to Blurr)

Want me to do that?

BLURR:

Weld? You? Really? Well, why not? Give

it a try, but think it through first!

Daniel knits his brow, extends FINGER OF EXO-GLOVE which is part

of exo-suit.

CLOSE ON EXO GLOVE AND DANIEL'S HAND

as hand quivers and his finger shoots out a tiny flame which

sputters, sparks and then goes out like a wet match

RESUME ON BLURR AND DANIEL

BLURR:

Practice, practice, practice!

WRECK-GAR AND JUNKIONS IN HIDING

Wreck-Gar starts to motion them to the attack, and the Junkions

ready their weapons.

Forward, avanti, apfel and like, go for

gusto....

from overhead and he looks

up)

HIS P.O.V. - GALVATRON AND HUGE DECEPTICON FORCE

WRECK-GAR (V.O.)

Hang on, this be industrial strength

We watch...

Decepticons!

(to Springer)

We've got to draw them off and then double back

to the ship!

at Blurr who is starting to transform

What do I do?

BLURR:

Transform! You can do...

(TRANSFORMATION complete,

he blurs off and, in V.O.

adds)

...it!

scorching by overhead

reacting

Then move it...

ANGLE ON PERCEPTOR

ULTRA MAGNUS:

Stays behind, taking a few shots at...

SWEEPS:

which streak over in deadly formations.

ULTRA MAGNUS:

He stands and shoots.

SPRINGER (O.S.)

Ultra Magnus!

THE OTHER AUTOBOTS

several yards down the junk-lined corridor.

PERCEPTOR (O.S.)

Your estimated survival time is 10 seconds.

ANGLE ON ULTRA MAGNUS

He shoots at the junk walls.

ULTRA MAGNUS:

Then use that time to escape! The Matrix

was designed for an emergency like this. I'll

try to unleash its power.

SPRINGER:

But what if it doesn't work.

ULTRA MAGNUS:

Until all are one!
