Transformers: Age of Extinction Page #9

Synopsis: After the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons that leveled Chicago, humanity thinks that all alien robots are a threat. So Harold Attinger, a CIA agent, establishes a unit whose sole purpose is to hunt down all of them. But it turns out that they are aided by another alien robot who is searching for Optimus Prime. Cade Yeager, a "robotics expert", buys an old truck and upon examining it, he thinks it's a Transformer. When he powers it up, he discovers it's Optimus Prime. Later, men from the unit show up looking for Optimus. He helps Yeager and his daughter Tessa escape but are pursued by the hunter. They escape and Yeager learns from technology he took from the men that a technology magnate and defense contractor named Joshua Joyce is part of what's going on, so they go to find out what's going on.

with his evil, nasty chromosomes.

They had red, beady eyes.

They got all in my lovely locks.

I can smell it right now.

Total inside custom job!

KSI might have named the body

the snappy name of Galvatron,

but that's just Megatron reincarnated!

You knew this

and you didn't warn them?

Little girl, you can go to a pretty

dark place when you on death row.

He's been playing KSI all this time,

all so that he could manipulate them

into going after the Seed.

Wait. The Seed?

Those nasty soldiers

that were chasing us.

I saw them board the ship,

and they took something

that they called the Seed.

Listen. Sixty million years ago,

give or take an eon...

Thousands of planets

were cyber-formed with Seeds.

They turned your organic life

into our elemental metals.

Our creators destroyed your world

to make us.

And that's what Galvatron

wants to happen again.

He wants to detonate that Seed

in the biggest city and kill millions!

He's gonna show the world,

"Baby, I'm back."

The blast wave will incinerate

that city into molten metal.

He'll have enough

to build a massive army

and annihilate your species forever.

You dumb, greedy bastards

just brought extinction to yourself.

Not my problem, though.

I'm free at last.

Whole thing worked out good for me.

I'm walking.

We got to get the Seed

before Galvatron does.

"JOSHUA". The Seed is going to be

the salvation of our company.

We take delivery tonight.

And next month, we detonate safely

in the Mongolian desert.

And we'll create enough Transformium

for a hundred years.

Dad, I'm tired of running and stealing.

Well, a place to sleep.

Yeah. Just another break-in.

You know, when I was your age,

I liked to get a little wild.

I liked cars, girls.

But then there was Tessa.

And when she was born,

all I ever wanted out of life

was for her to be happy

and healthy and safe.

Somehow I thought I'd always

be enough to protect her.

But I won't be.

I'll never be.

So somebody better be.

Thanks for being here today,

Lucky Charms.

Well, thanks for not shooting me

when you had the chance.

I'll have more.

Yeah, I can see that.

We've intercepted

the encrypted communications.

Joshua Joyce is headed to his factory

in Guangzhou, China.

Hey, big shot.

Your company's in serious trouble.

You better have a damn good lawyer.

Really?

Well, you better have a great one 'cause

you're about to be responsible

for the annihilation of a city.

Now, you listen to me.

Your tech has been hacked.

Your prototypes are infected.

And now Galvatron is after that Seed.

Look. I know you have a conscience

because you're an inventor, like me.

Do not let Galvatron

anywhere near that Seed.

I control Galvatron. I created him.

Deep down, I know you know.

Your prototype's been controlling you.

How fast can that thing get us

halfway around the world?

Very. It's a spaceship.

If we're traveling, now's the time.

All I want is to have our life back.

It's your call. Whatever you want.

Are we safer on our own,

or are we safer with them?

She's a keeper.

Must take after her mom.

I can't argue with that, kid.

Move! We're retrieving the Seed,

but then we're done

defending the humans.

What, done?

What do you mean, you're done?

Means "finished,"

"see ya," "good-bye."

Hijacked part of my ship?

How did you let this happen?

Shut down dark-matter drive,

reverse course at light speed,

and get us back!

Prime's taken my trophy case.

And he will feel my wrath!

Welcome to China.

Put Galvatron in containment.

Tell the techs do not activate him.

Absolutely, sir.

I WANT SECURITY ON HIGH ALERT.

Joyce.

I cannot tell you

how enthused I am to deliver this.

Top of your alien wish list.

It's yours. Or rather ours.

I will need to see my advance.

Five million shares

of the company.

Together,

we're gonna end human warfare.

We're about to build

a fully automated U.S. Army.

Just think of all the American lives

we're gonna save.

ALL OF THESE CARS ARE KSI'S

NEWEST CMLIAN PROTOTYPE ROBOTS.

So how soon until

we can start continuous production?

You know, why don't we take

a beat on this for a minute?

I have some new data

that I discovered and...

You're not backing out on me here?

No, I'm not backing out. I just...

I want the Seed.

I'm not saying I don't want the Seed.

I'm just saying I don't know if I...

If I want the Seed right now.

Good men have died

trying to get that thing for us.

For you.

I know what you did to get that thing.

A lot of illegal, icky sh*t.

I can take you down, too, Mr. Black Ops.

Don't you threaten me.

I started this company when I was a boy,

with a dream

of making the world a better place.

Funny. I had the same dream.

Somewhere along the way,

you made billions of dollars.

So why don't you tell me

what's missing from my dream?

Why don't you tell me what's missing

from my boyhood dream?

I have served my country for decades

of unparalleled prosperity

and you are my golden parachute.

So you are damn well

jumping out of the plane with me!

I am Galvatron!

- What's going on?

- Your Galvatron has gone active.

What haven't you been telling me?

Find Darcy, and bring a car around

downstairs. Quietly.

We got a factory emergency.

I have to get you out of here.

- What the hell's going on?

- Take them outside.

We had a deal.

You got what you wanted.

I got what "it" wanted.

My brothers,

today I grant you your freedom.

And from now on,

you are commanded by me.

Rise up!

Go find my Seed!

Detonate the Seed in the largest city.

Listen, princess.

I don't wanna hear, "I told you so,"

but this is much more dangerous

than I think.

Get in.

Galvatron's hacked into the others.

- What?

- Joshua.

- You have to contain this!

- Drive, drive!

Son of a...

Come on.

Let's move, let's move, let's move!

I know how to lose them in Hong Kong.

I know a military garrison there

that will help us.

Threatening a professional CIA killer.

Possibly not my finest hour.

I'd like to have that one back.

Killer? I thought they were your friends!

No. Not friends. Business.

They gave me this bomb.

Bomb?

Is there a bomb in the bag?

Yes, there's a bomb in the bag.

Sh*t.

When you said you were done

fighting for humans,

you didn't mean that, did you?

How many more of my kind

must be sacrificed

to atone for your mistakes?

Well, what do you think

being human means?

That's what we do.

We make mistakes.

And sometimes out of those mistakes

come the most amazing things.

When I fixed you, it was for a reward.

That was it. That was why. For money.

And it was me making a mistake.

Without it, you wouldn't be here.

So even if you got no faith in us,

I'm asking you to do what I do.

I'm asking you to look at all the junk

and see the treasure.

You gotta have faith, Prime,

in who we can be.

I'm seriously pissed

we're not getting paid for this.

Well, at least we get to kill him.
