ANGLE ON ULTRA MAGNUS

Struggling to open the leadership matrix. He puts his hand

inside of it and gets a powerful shock!

He pulls his hand out quickly.

ULTRA MAGNUS:

Damn it! Open it!

ANGLE ON GALVATRON

He laughs.

ON ULTRA MAGNUS:

He still struggles.

ULTRA MAGNUS:

(baffled)

Prime, you said the Matrix would light

our darkest hour.

ANGLE ON GALVATRON

Four sweeps fly TOWARD CAMERA in formation. Galvatron pops out

a communication device from his helmet.

GALVATRON:

Sweeps, quarter him!

ANGLE ON THE SWEEPS - TRACKING

Four rope-like rays shoot out of them and...

ON ULTRA MAGNUS:

wrap around his arms and legs.

ANGLE ON ULTRA MAGNUS AND THE SWEEPS

His arms and legs caught by the four ropes, he knows he's just

about had it.

He struggles for one last moment, then...

ANGLE ON THE SWEEPS AND ULTRA MAGNUS

Pulling their rays taut, the Sweeps fly in four separate

directions, effectively drawing and quartering the Autobot

leader...

ON ULTRA MAGNUS:

As all of his limbs are separated from his body and scattered in

the distance, he SCREAMS IN HORROR.

ULTRA MAGNUS:

(SCREAMS IN HORROR)

ANGLE ON THE MATRIX

It tumbles from Ultra Magnus' hands to...

... Galvatron's hands!

ANGLE ON GALVATRON

He holds the Autobot Matrix.

GALVATRON:

Unicron, my "master," with this I shall

make you my slave!

Galvatron gets into Cyclonus and flies off

DISSOLVE TO:

DANIEL:

as he moves out and looks down at Ultra Magnus' remains

DANIEL:

(tearful)

Ultra Magnus!

ANOTHER ANGLE - BLURR, SPRINGER, ARCEE AND PERCEPTOR

as they move up beside Daniel.

BLURR:

Without the Matrix there

is no hope. No hope at all!

WRECK-GAR AND AN ARMY OF JUNKIONS

as they are moving in battle array towards the Shuttle.

Junkions are an interesting species. They ride themselves. That

is, the Junkions ride transforms of themselves, so that if their

vehicle breaks down, the driver will become the vehicle, and the

vehicle will transform to become the driver.

They are gibbering, singing almost a wild kind of junk-rock,

war-cry song which, like their language, is constructed of bits

and pieces of the museum junk of our culture - a humorous aggressive

song which makes a surreal kind of sense. "Slice 'em dice 'em...

And that's all folks or your money back..."

ON WRECK-GAR

as he roars into the lead and shows his teeth

WRECK-GAR

Don't look behind door number two, Monty.

It's time to play End-of-the-line-my

valentine! Geroni-roni-doo-ron-ron-i-mo!

(he charges)

ON SPRINGER AND OUR FRIENDS

as they react

SPRINGER:

Get gone!

Springer leads the way and Blurr, Arcee, Daniel and Perceptor

follow and we MOVE TO

A ROAD WARRIOR STYLE CHASE

as Springer and Arcee ride on either side of Daniel and Perceptor

with Blurr bringing up the rear-

- zig zagging back and forth to keep the Junkions from getting

at Daniel.

A JUNKION:

roars alongside Springer on his motorcycle and throws out laser

barbed grappling hook, trying to hook Springer.

Springer ducks first pass of hook.

ON JUNKION:

as he hurls GRAPPLING HOOK AGAIN

ON SPRINGER:

as he catches HOOK BY THE CHAIN AND YANKS IT

THE JUNKION:

goes flying off his motorcycle.,,

He transforms into a motorcycle as

The motorcycle transforms into a rider and hops on the new

motorcycle and then...

...turns around to come back.

ON SPRINGER:

He looks over, astonished.

SPRINGER:

It's not hard to knock 'em down. It's

getting them to stay down that's the

trick.

ON ARCEE:

as she fires at a Junkion who is trying to swerve her off the

road knocking him off the motorcycle...

The Junkion looks down at his missing arm, digs around in the junk

for a minute, comes up with another, and then transforms to a

motorcycle.

ANOTHER ANGLE:

as Junkion rides over to her, starts belting her with junk sword

ARCEE:

They're indestructible!

ON DANIEL:

as he skids, stopping his Exo-Suit as he reacts to what's ahead

DANIEL:

They're everywhere!

HIS P.O.V. - PILES OF JUNK

as Junkions arise out of every junk pile in sight and, gibbering,

singing their junk-rock battle song, start moving in

ON SPRINGER:

as he stops and Arcee, Daniel, Perceptor and Blurr stop around

him. They close ranks and look out at the Junkions grimly

PERCEPTOR:

Perhaps they're not as vicious as they look.

ON WRECK-GAR

as he gnashes his teeth and grins and then BLINKS HIS EYES which

roll to show eyes like ping pong balls. Wreck-Gar makes blipping

noises as he does this

ON SPRINGER:

reacting to Wreck-Gar's noises and eyeball display

SPRINGER:

(to Perceptor)

Positive thinking gets on my nerves.

Suddenly, all react to sound and wind of passing space cruiser

their P.O.V- HOT ROD, KUP AND DINOBOTS IN CRUISER

as it shoots past and banks, coming back for a closer look

SPRINGER (V.O.)

It can't be....it's.....Hot Rod! He's alive!

DANIEL:

as he looks up at passing Cruiser and waves

DANIEL:

And Kup and the Dinobots! We're saved!

PERCEPTOR:

I wouldn't count on that!

(indicating Junkions)

HIS P.O.V. - EVEN MORE JUNKIONS ARISING OUT OF THE JUNK HILLS

as Junkions newly risen from Junk look up and point at Cruiser

and make hostile signs toward it, shaking weapons, etc.

INT. THE CRUISER - MOVING SHOT - VIEW THROUGH CANOPY

Hot Rod and Kup look down on the army of Junkions below

surrounding their friends as they SWOOP BY

KUP:

Not since the Crocodillos of Strontero

have I seen such a sight....

ANOTHER ANGLE GRIMLOCK

as he sticks his face up next to Hot Rod. Wheelie, riding on

Grimlock's head, slips down to stand on console next to Hot Rod

GRIMLOCK:

Maybe they make me king, too!

KUP:

Don't hold your breath, your majesty.

WRECK-GAR

as he watches Cruiser descend and start gliding in for a landing

WRECK-GAR
