The Transformers Page #17

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.

ULTRA MAGNUS:

You have ships here?

WRECK-GAR

New, improved Junkion planet, is sleek

sexy import with turbo handling.

SPRINGER:

What's he talking about?

ANGLE ON QUINTESSON

Suddenly, boosters fire from the back side of the junk, and

somewhere under all of the junk, we realize is a real space ship.

Maybe the junk is the space ship.

It takes off, bits and pieces of junk flying off as it moves.

SPRINGER:

This is what I call traveling in style.

DISSOLVE TO:

LONG SHOT- UNICRON

as Galvatron stands on the surface of Unicron, holding the

Matrix.

GALVATRON (V.O.)

Listen to me, or suffer the consequences.

UNICRON:

Aren't we getting pompous?

GALVATRON:

I now possess that which you most fear.

Unicron LAUGHS and the force of it rocks the surface of the

planet, knocking Galvatron to his knees.

GALVATRON:

You will do my bidding, or...

Unicron roars with laughter.

GALVATRON:

...taste my wrath.

He leans down and starts trying to open the matrix.

ANOTHER ANGLE - FAVORING GALVATRON

IN THE BACKGROUND, we see Cybertron getting closer.

Galvatron struggles with the Matrix, but gets a big shock.

UNICRON:

You underestimate me Galvatron.

ANOTHER ANGLE - GALVATRON ON UNICRON

He desperately struggles to open the matrix.

The planet suddenly starts shaking.

Galvatron is bathed in a reddish light, and looks up in horror!

ANGLE ON UNICRON

A hideous transformation is beginning. The surface of the planet

in front of Galvatron opens up, and we see that the hideous

light comes from eyes set on a hideous head!

GALVATRON AND UNICRON

Galvatron is maybe the size of a single tooth on the horrible

head before him.

UNICRON:

For a time, I considered sparing your measly

little planet, but now you shall witness its

dismemberment!

ANGLE ON GALVATRON

Suddenly, the ground he stands on drops away, and he falls

through space...

... Landing on a protruding plate which sticks out of Unicron's

chest.

GALVATRON - CLOSE

He looks around himself in horror and lets out a loud scream as

he realizes the unimaginable horror that surrounds him.

ANGLE ON UNICRON - LONG SHOT

The massive planet transforms, arms and legs fold out of the

enormous body, hands unfold from the arms, jets from it's back

propel it towards...

... Cybertron, which, now looks lonely and vulnerable in space.

ANGLE ON GALVATRON

He stands on a ledge on Unicron and desperately tries to open

the matrix, but no cigar.

GALVATRON:

No!!!

ANGLE ON CYBERTRON

Unicron enters shot and grasps at Cybertron with a hideous

claw...

ANGLE ON A TOWER ON CYBERTRON

Shockwave talks into a communications device, as alarms sound and

troopers run everywhere.

SHOCKWAVE:

Decepticons...we're under attack...Scramble -

Then his voice is cut off as...

SHOCKWAVE'S POV - OUT HIS WINDOW

Unicron's hand reaches towards the window, squeezes, and the

walls crash in.

SPACE - UNICRON AND CYBERTRON

Unicron tears off the tower and crushes it as...

A FLEET OF DECEPTICON SHIPS

streak out of Cybertron and begin firing on the enormous planet.

Here, we see the true scale of Unicron. The fighters are the

size of bees as they attack.

ANGLE ON UNICRON

He looks down on the swarm of fighters and...

...Breathes fire down on them.

The fighters POP and burn like popcorn in a blowtorch.

In moments they disappear like sparks from a fire.

ANGLE ON CYBERTRON

Decepticon troopers man a massive gun emplacement as...

... Unicron's huge hand reaches down...

... scraping buildings and...

... tearing out gun emplacements.

ANOTHER ANGLE- UNICRON'S FACE

as he puts his face down so his mouth will receive all the

rockets, laser blasts, etc.

THE DECEPTICON DEFENDERS

are silhouetted like ants in the foreground as Unicron OPENS HIS

MOUTH and swallows the fire barrage

GALVATRON:

GALVATRON:

Stop feeding him, you fools!

ANGLE ON UNICRON AND CYBERTRON

As yet more Decepticon fighters rip out of the planet, it

looks like Unicron is going to have a field day tearing it apart.

CUT TO:

EXT. SPACE - SAME TIME

The massive Junkion ship and the corkscrew cruiser piloted by Hot

Rod and Kup race through the dark void.

HOT ROD:

I don't believe it.

INT. THE QUINTESSON SHIP - SAME TIME

Hot Rod, Kup, Springer, Arcee and Daniel as they also look

through canopy, astonished

DANIEL:

Wow!

THEIR P.O.V. - UNICRON Destroying CYBERTRON

HOT ROD (V.O.)

Doesn't it remind you of something, Kup?

RESUME ON KUP, DANIEL AND HOT ROD

as they MOVE CLOSER STILL. Kup is glassy eyed.

KUP:

(entranced)

Nope, never seen anything like it.

HOT ROD:

I knew there had to be a first time....

(using intercom)

Battle stations!

LONG SHOT- HOT ROD'S CRUISER AND THE JUNKION SPACE SHIP

as hatches open and the Dinobots start FLYING OUT.

INT. - CRUISER

Hot Rod shoves joystick forward and Cruiser DRIVES TOWARD UNICRON

whom we see turn to take a swat at it through glass canopy

ON JUNKION SPACE SHIP

as it pulls up beside Hot Rod's Cruiser so they are both in a

line.....The Dinobots behind both ships ...all diving toward

Unicron's nose

INT. JUNKION SHIP - WRECK-GAR AT CONTROLS

As Wreck-Gar also has joystick shoved down and watches Unicron's

face loom closer, closer, closer

LONG SHOT- CRUISER, JUNKION SHIP AND DINOBOTS IN FORMATION

as Unicron smiles and cups both hands together, preparing to

catch the lot of them as soon as they get within reach

UNICRON'S CHEST

Galvatron, the matrix hanging around his neck. Transforms to

Cannon and fires up at...

... A bright panel on Unicron's chest...

BLAAAM!

He hits the panel and lights and sparks fly out, causing the

gigantic robot to flicker momentarily.

ANGLE ON UNICRON

The monster lets out a ROAR!

Then, reaches down, picks up Galvatron and drops him into his

mouth like a raisin.
