Transformers Page #9

up this telephone and call my family?

Mr. Secretary? I'm here under

direct order from the President.

You really need to see

what I have in the case.

You'll have to accept that

there are certain things

you won't understand right away.

Sector Seven is a special-access

division of the government

convened in secret under

President Hoover 80 years ago.

You may remember NASA JPL

lost the Beagle 2 Mars Rover.

We told them to report the mission

a complete failure. It wasn't.

Beagle 2 transmitted 13 seconds.

This was classified above top secret.

EDA ended at 170 hours, 48 minutes.

More than just a pile of Martian rocks.

This is the image from Mars.

Here's the image your

Special Ops team was able to retrieve

from the base attack.

We believe they are of

the same exoskeletal type,

and obviously not Russian

or North Korean.

Are we talking about an invasion?

We intercepted the message

from your Special Ops team.

These things can be hurt by

our weapons and now they know it.

That's why the virus shut us down,

so we can't coordinate against

their next attack,

which I would bet my ridiculous

government salary is coming soon.

Get word to our fleet commanders

over the National Guard frequency.

It's a shortwave radio channel.

It might be still working.

Tell them to turn their ships around

and come home. ASAP!

And inform all commands to prepare

for imminent attack.

Captain Lennox, we need you and

your team to come with us right now!

Let's go!

She's in here.

What's going on?

You're coming with me.

- You're going to be my advisor.

- Me, too?

Who's this?

- He's my advisor.

- He comes, too.

- So...

- What'd they get you for?

I bought a car.

Turned out to be an alien robot.

Wow.

Who knew?

Make a hole! Watch your back!

Please, let this work.

Fire it up, Optimus.

The code.

The code on these glasses indicates

the All Spark is 230 miles from here.

I sense the Decepticons

are getting ready to mobilize.

They must know it's here, as well.

What about Bumblebee?

We can't just leave him to die

and become some human experiment!

He'll die in vain

if we don't accomplish our mission.

Bumblebee is a brave soldier.

This is what he would want.

Why are we fighting to save

the humans?

They're a primitive and violent race.

Were we so different?

They're a young species.

They have much to learn.

But I've seen goodness in them.

Freedom is the right of

all sentient beings.

You all know there's only one way

to end this war.

We must destroy the Cube.

If all else fails, I will unite it

with the spark in my chest.

That's suicide.

The Cube is raw power.

It could destroy you both.

A necessary sacrifice to bring peace

to this planet.

We cannot let the humans pay

for our mistakes.

It's been an honor serving with you all.

- Autobots, roll out!

- We rolling!

Team attention! Present arms!

At ease. Captain, Sergeant.

Got your intel. Excellent work.

Thank you, sir.

What about the gunships?

They're being retrofitted

with sabot rounds now.

If they hit us again,

we'll be ready for them.

But it won't do us much good if we can't

get world communications back up.

Hey, kid.

I think we got off to a bad start, huh?

You must be hungry?

You want a latte? HoHo?

Double venti macchiato?

Where's my car?

Son, I need you to listen to me

very carefully.

People can die here.

We need to know everything you know.

We need to know it now.

Okay.

But first, I'll take my car, my parents.

Maybe you should write that down.

Oh, and her juvie record.

That's got to be gone. Like, forever.

Come with me.

We'll talk about your car.

Thank you.

The man's an extortionist.

All right, here's the situation.

You've all had direct contact

with the NBEs.

NBEs?

Non-Biological Extraterrestrials.

Try and keep up with the acronyms.

What you're about to see

is totally classified.

Dear God. What is this?

We think when he made his approach

over the north pole,

our gravitational field screwed up

his telemetry.

He crashed in the ice,

probably a few thousand years ago.

We shipped him here to this facility

in 1934.

We call him NBE One.

Well, sir, I don't mean to correct you

on everything you think you know,

but, I mean, that's Megatron.

He's the leader of the Decepticons.

He's been in cryostasis since 1935.

Your great-great-grandfather made

one of the greatest discoveries

in the history of mankind.

Fact is, you're looking at

the source of the modern age,

the microchip, lasers, spaceflight, cars,

all reverse-engineered by studying him.

NBE One. That's what we call it.

And you didn't think the United States

military might need to know

that you're keeping a hostile alien robot

frozen in the basement?

Until these events, we had no

credible threat to national security.

Well, you got one now.

- So why Earth?

- It's the All Spark.

All Spark? What is that?

Well, yeah, they came here looking

for some sort of cube-looking thing.

Anyway, Mr. NBE One here, AKA

Megatron, that's what they call him,

who's pretty much the harbinger

of death, wants to use the Cube

to transform human technology

to take over the universe.

That's their plan.

- And you're sure about that?

- Yeah.

You guys know where it is, don't you?

Follow me.

You're about to see our crown jewel.

Carbon dating puts the Cube here

around 10,000 BC.

The first Seven didn't find it until 1913.

They knew it was alien because of

the matching hieroglyphics on the Cube

as well as NBE One.

President Hoover had the dam built

around it.

Four football fields thick of concrete.

A perfect way to hide its energy

from being detected by anyone

or any alien species on the outside.

Wait, back up. You said

the dam hides the Cube's energy.

- What kind exactly?

- Good question.

Please step inside.

They have to lock us in.

Oh, wow.

What's that? Freddy Krueger done

been up in here or something?

Oh, no, man.

Freddy Krueger have four blades, man.

That's only three. That's Wolverine!

- Right? That's Wolverine!

- That's very funny.

Anybody have any mechanical devices?

BlackBerry? Key alarm? Cell phone?

I got a phone.

Nokias are real nasty.

You've got to respect the Japanese.

They know the way of the samurai.

Nokia's from Finland.

Yes, but he's, you know, a little strange.

He's a little strange.

We're able to take the Cube radiation

and funnel it into that box.

- Mean little sucker, huh?

- That thing is freaky!

Kind of like the itty-bitty

Energizer Bunny from hell, huh?

He's breaking the box.

Go! Go! Go!

Move!

Gentlemen, they know the Cube is here.

Banachek. What's going on?

Well, the NBE One hangar

has lost power...

- What?

- ... and the backup generator

- is just not gonna cut it.

- Do you have an arms room?

Megatron! Megatron! Megatron!

I'll bring security to the...

Get everyone to

the NBE One chamber now!

- The lights are out!

- Move it! Move it!

Let's go!

They're popping our generators!

Megatron melting!

16502. We're losing pressure.
