Transformers Page #8

Synopsis: A long time ago, far away on the planet of Cybertron, a war is being waged between the noble Autobots (led by the wise Optimus Prime) and the devious Decepticons (commanded by the dreaded Megatron) for control over the Allspark, a mystical talisman that would grant unlimited power to whoever possesses it. The Autobots managed to smuggle the Allspark off the planet, but Megatron blasts off in search of it. He eventually tracks it to the planet of Earth (circa 1850), but his reckless desire for power sends him right into the Arctic Ocean, and the sheer cold forces him into a paralyzed state. His body is later found by Captain Archibald Witwicky, but before going into a comatose state Megatron uses the last of his energy to engrave into the Captain's glasses a map showing the location of the Allspark, and to send a transmission to Cybertron. Megatron is then carried away aboard the Captain's ship. A century later, Captain Witwicky's grandson Sam Witwicky (nicknamed Spike by his friends) b

Whoa, way out of line.

Sir, I am asking politely. Back off.

- You're not taking my son.

- Really?

You gonna try to get rough with us?

No, but I'm gonna call the cops

because there's something fishy

going on around here.

Yeah. There's something a little fishy

about you, your son,

your little Taco Bell dog and this

whole operation you got going on here.

- What operation?

- That is what we are gonna find out.

I think direct contact.

- Son?

- Yeah.

- Step forward, please.

- Just stand?

Fourteen rads.

Bingo! Tag them and bag them!

If you hurt my dog, I'll kick your ass!

Get me a sample on

that vegetation ASAP!

Sam! Do not say anything, Sam!

- Yeah.

- Not a word until we get a lawyer!

So,

LadiesMan217.

That is your eBay username, right?

Yeah, but, you know,

it was a typo and I ran with it.

What do you make of this?

My name is Sam Witwicky, okay?

And my...

Is that you?

Yeah, that sounds like LadiesMan.

Last night at the station, you told

the officer your car transformed.

- Enlighten me.

- Well, here's what I said, okay?

'Cause this is a total misunderstanding

that my car had been stolen...

- Really?

- ...from me, from my home,

but it's fine now because it's back!

It came back!

- Well, not by itself.

- Well, no.

Because cars don't do that

because that would be crazy.

That's funny. That is so funny.

So what do you kids know

about aliens, huh?

Oh, you mean, like a Martian?

Like what, E. T? No.

- It's an urban legend.

- Yeah.

You see this?

This is an I-can-do-whatever-I-want

and-get-away-with-it badge.

- Right.

- I'm gonna lock you up forever.

Oh, God. You know what?

Don't listen to him.

He's just pissy 'cause he's got to

get back to guarding the mall.

You, in the training bra, do not test me.

Especially with your daddy's parole

coming up.

What? Parole?

- It's nothing.

- Oh, grand theft auto, that ain't nothing?

You know those cars my dad

used to teach me to fix?

Well, they... They weren't always his.

You stole cars?

Well, we couldn't always afford

a babysitter,

so sometimes he had to take me along.

She's got her own juvie record

to prove it!

She's a criminal. Criminals are hot.

That'd be a real shame if he had to rot

in jail the rest of his natural life.

It is time to talk!

Big! It's big!

Go, go, go, go!

- I can't see it! I can't see it!

- Shift your weight towards the front!

All right! All right!

You A-holes are in trouble now.

Gentlemen, I want to introduce you

to my friend, Optimus Prime.

Taking the children was a bad move.

Autobots, relieve them of their weapons.

Freeze!

- Whoa! Whoa!

- Give me those!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Hi, there.

You don't seem afraid.

Are you not surprised to see us?

Look, there are

Seven protocols, okay?

I'm not authorized

to communicate with you

except to tell you

I can't communicate with you.

- Get out of the car.

- All right.

- Me? You want me to get...

- Now!

All right, all right. Get out. Hey.

All right, I'm... I'm getting out.

I'm getting out. You see?

Very nifty how you put us down

without really killing us.

You're good with handcuffs, too,

now, huh?

How you doing?

- You weren't supposed to hear all that.

- How's it going, huh?

- Yeah.

- This is real.

Now, listen. If I choose to engage

with him, mum is the word, all right?

Sam, I have a record

because I wouldn't turn my dad in.

When have you had to sacrifice

anything in your perfect little life?

Big guys. Big guys with big guns, huh?

What is Sector Seven? Answer me.

I'm the one who asks questions

around here. Not you, young man!

- How'd you know about the aliens?

- Where did you take my parents?

- I am not at liberty to discuss it.

- No?

Hey. You touch me,

that's a federal offense.

Do-whatever-you-want

and-get-away-with-it badge, right?

Yeah. Brave now all of a sudden, with

his big alien friend standing over there.

- Where is Sector Seven?

- Wouldn't you like to know?

Hey!

Bumblebee, stop lubricating the man.

Get that thing to stop, huh?

- All right, tough guy, take it off.

- What are you talking about?

- Your clothes, all of it, off.

- For what?

For threatening my dad.

Little lady, this is the beginning

of the end of your life.

You're a criminal.

Let's face facts. It's in your gene pool.

Those are nice.

Now get behind the pole.

All right.

This is such a felony, what you're doing.

- I will hunt you down, okay?

- He'll hunt you down.

- Without any remorse!

- No remorse.

- Enjoy.

- Okay?

- We have got to alert everyone.

- They already know. Speaker.

Optimus! Incoming!

Roll out.

Okay, I'm picking up rad readings

under that bridge right down there.

Okay, I'm getting really good rad

readings. Forty-two and higher.

Up you get.

Okay, we're dropping in.

Really strong readings right down

below us. There he is.

Ship one and two, come on in.

That's it, right there.

Mark him, mark him.

Okay, there he is. 11:30. 11:30.

Right off the nose.

I got it. 12:
00.

Okay, I'm tracking him. I've got him.

Got him going down the street.

Okay. Where'd he go, guys? I lost him.

Got no IR signature. Where'd he go?

Okay, I lost him. I lost him.

Okay, we're coming around.

Easy, you two.

No! No! No, Sam! Sam, don't drop me!

Sam, don't! Sam, don't! I'm slipping!

I'm slipping!

- Hold on!

- No!

Sam!

All right, we've got him pinned.

We've got him pinned in the river.

I'm in for the shot.

Stop! Stop!

Wait! No!

- Take the shot, get him.

- Take the shot.

No!

No! Stop!

Stop!

Get down on the ground! Get down!

Get down!

What? Okay.

Look, he's not fighting back!

Freeze it! Freeze it! Freeze it!

Stop hurting him!

Don't let him move!

I got him here!

No!

Happy to see me again?

Put him in a car

with his little criminal friend.

I want that thing frozen

and ready for transport!

Hang back. Let me check it out.

Optimus,

are we just gonna stand here

and do nothing?

There's no way to free Bumblebee

without harming the humans.

- But it's not right. He...

- Let them leave.

The Chinese and the Russians

are nearing our area of operations

in the western Pacific.

We feel like this could get

out of hand real fast.

But the next couple of hours

may just define his presidency.

US and Chinese task forces

approaching 100 nautical miles

of cruise missile range.

Tell the strike group commander that

he's not to engage unless fired on first.

- Yes, sir!

- Mr. Secretary?

Tom Banachek. I'm with Sector Seven,

Advanced Research Division.

Never heard of it. I'm a little busy, Tom.

I think you can see that.

- What's going on here?

- I don't know.

Sit rep! Talk to me!

- The whole room's gone down, sir.

- I can see that!

The virus was coded to shut us down.

- General?

- I'll take a seat.

What do you mean, "shut us down"?

They used our network to spread out

to the whole world.

The blackout's global.

We have no communications,

satellite and land lines are dead.

You mean to tell me that I cannot pick
