The Transformers Page #7

In front of him stands Astrotrain holding a huge Metallic CROWN

over his head.

OTHER DECEPTICONS

in neat ranks but their grim expressions show their displeasure.

STARSCREAM:

(preening)

Get on with the ceremony!

Dirge and others react to EERIE SOUNDS and look up and off.

Starscream looks where others are looking and reacts.

HIS P.O.V. - GALVATRON AND HIS FORCES

as they descend in Hall of Heroes and Galvatron moves out to

confront Starscream

ON STARSCREAM AND GALVATRON

STARSCREAM:

Who disrupts my coronation?

GALVATRON:

Coronation? This is bad comedy!

STARSCREAM:

Megatron, is that you?

GALVATRON:

Here's a clue!

HIS P.O.V -GALVATRON

as Galvatron transforms into cannon, FIRING A HUGE BURST

ON STARSCREAM:

as BLAST hits him. For a moment, he retains his shape then piece

by piece, he falls apart.

Only a pair of boots remain on the floor.

GALVATRON:

He transforms back to robot mode and confronts other Decepticons

boastfully.

GALVATRON:

Will anyone else attempt to fill his

shoes?

ON DECEPTICONS - THRUST, DIRGE, ASTROTRAIN, BONECRUSHER, ET. AL.

PAN for their reactions as they ponder for a brief beat and then

exchange looks/

DECEPTICONS:

(AD LIB)

LONG LIVE...

(they look at each other)

What did he say his name was.

He didn't.

GALVATRON:

Galvatron.

DECEPTICONS:

LONG LIVE GALVATRON!

CUT TO:

UNICRON:

Bit by bit, we see new sections of the planet being generated.

Then, the sinister mist we saw at the beginning of the film

starts pouring out.

He's about to do the big munch on..

THE FIRST MOON OF CYBERTRON -

PUSH IN TO - JAZZ AND CLIFFJUMPER

Standing outside the "netted" complex, looking off at...

UNICRON:

A strange, LOUD HUM fills the air and the ground heaves and

SHAKES beneath their feet

JAZZ:

Where'd that come from?!

CLIFFJUMPER:

Who cares? I'm more worried about where it's going!

JAZZ:

(on communicator device)

Talk to me, Earth! We got a situation

out here!

CUT TO:

AUTOBOT CITY- EARTH -LONG SHOT

Autobot City is almost rebuilt, and we see Kup and Hot Rod working

with other Autobots to move large panels into position. In the

background, two huge SPACE SHUTTLES are almost completed and

Ultra Magnus is directing the work. During this ESTABLISHING

SERIES OF SHOTS, we HEAR JAZZ'S VOICE OVER

JAZZ (V.O.-FILTER)

Roger me. Wilco me. Anything? Hello.

Hello Earth.

CUT TO:

OUTSIDE OF LARGE SPACE SHUTTLE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Springer and Arcee fit a hull section in place with Daniel

motioning to them, directing the action.

BLASTER:

He reacts to muffled transmission from Jazz.

BLASTER:

I'm pickin' up a faint signal!

BLASTER TRANSFORMS to blaster mode and Jazz's VOICE is broadcast

loud and clear causing Springer, Arcee, and Daniel to react

JAZZ (V.O.-ON FILTER)

This is Jazz. I gi-normous weird lookin'

planet just showed up in the suburbs of

Cybertron....

CLIFFJUMPER:

And it's attack...

STATIC obscures the message

ULTRA MAGNUS:

Jazz! Cliffjumper!

CUT TO:

THE FIRST MOON:

is covered by Unicron's energy field, and slowly seems to

dissolve.

ANOTHER ANGLE FEATURING UNICRON

a great maw works more intensely crushing bits of the planet.

CUT TO:

JAZZ AND CLIFFJUMPER ON THAT MOON

as quakes, tremors and cyclonic winds toss and tear at all

structures on the moon and the energy field closes in on Jazz and

Cliffjumper - who, using handholds every step of the way - et

into

AN ESCAPE POD VEHICLE

as Unicron looms larger, larger, the energy field seems to

dissolve the landscape.

JAZZ:

Got ...to....blast free....if we can.....

They get in and start retro blasters, the flame of blasters

whirling in wild winds as moon is engulfed.

CUT TO:

CLIFFJUMPER (V.O.)

Ignition and....

SOUNDS of torrential winds, quakes, etc as moon is quickly

becoming Unicron's lunch.

JAZZ (V.O.)

Hit it!

ON ESCAPE POD:

as it BLASTS OFF and away from Unicron with an EXPLOSION.

For a moment, it looks like they are going to get clean away,

but...

ANOTHER ANGLE:

Suddenly it is pulled deep into Unicron.

ANOTHER ANGLE - THE MOON

as Moon shatters like a hollow egg and is sucked completely into

Unicron's maw which closes around it with a snap.

CUT TO:

GALVATRON IN DECEPTICON HALL OF HEROES

Silence. No more winds. No more movement.

GALVATRON:

How dare Unicron?!

(defiant)

Cybertron and all it's moons are mine!

ANOTHER ANGLE ON GALVATRON

His body starts to twist making him writhe in pain powerless to

resist

SCOURGE:

But remember, WE belong to HIM!

GALVATRON:

(gasping for breath,

writhing, nods)

I....will obey, Unicron! Decepticons, to Earth!

The torture stops and Galvatron clutches his throat and tries to

regain his composure as we...

CUT TO:

EXT. AUTOBOT CITY -- ULTRA MAGNUS

He has a portable communication device. Spike and Bumble can be

seen on it. Springer, Kup, the Dinobots, Blurr, and Hot Rod

look on amid general gathering of Autobots. Arcee holds Daniel

up on her shoulder so he can see. Blaster is in b.g.

SPIKE:

It's like a terrible nightmare, Ultra Magnus.

BUMBLEBEE:

This thing - this juggernaut just ripped the

first moon to shreds.

SPIKE:

And it's heading this way.

BUMBLEBEE:

We'll try 'n slow it down...

SPIKE:

But you'd better get here fast because...

Suddenly, static obscures the transmission.

DANIEL:

Dad!

ULTRA MAGNUS:

Autobots, prepare to board the shuttles.

This new menace is more dangerous than all the

Decepticons put together. Somehow we must

destroy it before it devours Cybertron.

DANIEL:

But what about my dad? He's on the moon

between that monster and Cybertron.

ULTRA MAGNUS:

Daniel, I'll do everything I can for Spike.

HOT ROD:

And what are we going to do when we get

there? If that thing crunches moons, it'll

make short work of us.

ULTRA MAGNUS:

Maybe the Matrix can stop it.

HOT ROD:

You're right! It can.

KUP:

What do you know about it lad?

HOT ROD:

It's just a feeling.

Hot Rod looks up and sees something.

KUP:

Look!

THE AUTOBOTS TURN TO SEE

POV - ANGLE ON ATTACKING DECEPTICONS

Decepticon ships seem to dive from nowhere to attack the

Autobots.

ULTRA MAGNUS:

To the shuttles!!!

ANGLE ON DECEPTICON JETS

Galvatron is in the lead.

GALVATRON:

There is no escape. I, Galvatron

will crush you just as the magnificent Megatron

crushed Prime!

ULTRA MAGNUS:

And you'll die trying just like Megatron!

Ultra Magnus fires Laser and hits Galvatron.

GALVATRON:

aaaaaaaah! Autobot cur!!

CYCLONUS:

You want me to gut Ultra Magnus for you?

GALVATRON:

There are plenty of Autobots for you.

Ultra Magnus is mine!

THE BATTLE - QUICK CUT

Decepticons dive on fleeing Autobots.

ANGLE - ARCEE AND DANIEL

As Daniel looks up and Arcee moves over to him protectively.

Hot Rod looks at Arcee in the same way she is looking at Daniel.

ARCEE:

Stay close to me, Daniel...

HOT ROD:

(to Arcee)

And you better stay close to me...

Arcee pulls Hot Rod toward her before he gets hit by laser
