Transformers One

---

(We open on Iacon City, a civilization of Transformers in the underground of the planet Cybertron. At one specific building, a red-and-blue bot is seen sneaking across the structure. Getting in through a ventilation shaft into an archives room, the bot, revealed to be a young Orion Pax, looks in on the lasers representing the room's security system. He carefully steps over the lasers and begins searching the shelves. He notices a series of small chips and takes them as he walks toward a projector.)

Orion Pax:
Okay, let's see what we got here... (flipping through the discs) Seen it, seen it.

(His search stops upon a red-colored chip)

Orion Pax:
Hmm. What's this about?

(He inserts the chip into the projector, but it begins glitching)

Narrator:
At the dawn--dawn--dawn--

(Orion shushes the recording as he tries to halt it. However, a nearby Security Drone powers on, hearing the commotion and studying the room. Meanwhile, Orion manages to eject the chip and, after looking around to ensure no one heard, blows on the chip's end and reinserts it, unaware of the oncoming drone.)

Orion Pax:
Ah, here we go.

Narrator:
At the dawn of time, there was our gracious and powerful creator, Primus. To protect our universe, he sacrificed his life force, transforming himself into our planet - Cybertron. From within Cybertron's core, Primus birthed the first Transformers, known as the Primes, the most powerful Transformers, appointed to lead and protect future generations. To assist them, Primus created an entity of great power: the Matrix of Leadership...

Orion Pax:
The Matrix, there it is, okay. Good, come on, keep going.

Narrator:
With the Matrix in the Primes' possession, Cybertron's natural power source, Energon, flowed in abundance, sustaining life across the planet.

(The drone finds Orion and alerts security.)

Security Drone:
Attention! Unauthorized movement detected in archival vault. Sector J-3

(Two Sentries are approaching.)

Sentry 1:
KDQ-12 to KDK-1, breaching archives in ten seconds.

(Back at the projector...)

Narrator:
For generations, there was peace and prosperity, until the Matrix of Leadership was lost, causing Energon to no longer flow...

(The recording ends.)

Orion Pax:
(groans) Why does every legend about the Matrix of Leadership end right there? One of these has to say what happened...

(However, before he could search more, the drone approaches him.)

Security Drone:
Halt, criminal! Prepare to be detained!

Orion Pax:
(sheepishly) Oh, hey there.

(Orion punches the drone before it repeated its message.)

Orion Pax:
Uh-oh.

(Orion tries to run, but the Sentries catch him.)

Sentry 2:
Freeze!

Sentry 1:
Get down!

Orion Pax:
Well, hello, guys. I'm so glad you're here. Which way is the exit? (chuckles) I must’ve taken a wrong turn.

Sentry 1:
It’s that defective mining bot, Oreon Pix!

Orion Pax:
Orion Pax.

Sentry 1:
(interrupting him) Who cares? We told you to never come back here!

Orion Pax:
Why are we all yelling?

Sentry 2:
I'm gonna smash you!

(The Sentries approach him.)

Orion Pax:
Hold on. Whoa, whoa, hold on. No need for violence. How about this: I run away; you chase me. We play that game. Huh? Come on. You’re bigger, faster. It’ll be fun.

(The Sentries laugh)

Sentry 2:
He doesn’t have a cog. Let’s give him a head start.

Sentry 1:
Why not? It’s not like he can transform.

Orion Pax:
Oh, yeah? Well, watch this.

(Orion begins making shifting motions like he is about to transform, but it was revealed to be a distraction as he makes a break for it.)

Sentry 1:
Get him!

(As Orion runs, he looks around for something to use.)

Orion Pax:
I… I… Uh… Something that flies. Something that flies.

(He sees another Security Drone.)

Security Drone:
Prepare to be detained! Halt, criminal! Prepare to be detained! Halt, criminal!

(Orion grabs the drone as the Sentries transform to chase him down.)

Orion Pax:
Come on! Start! Come on! Whoa!

(Orion jumps out the nearest window, narrowly avoiding the Sentries as he slides off the building and nearly thousands of feet to his doom.)

Orion Pax:
Whoa. No, no, no, no!

(He jumps across the gap, running as the Sentries intercept him.)

Sentry 1:
There he is!

Orion Pax:
Ha-ha! So long, suck…

(Orion's taunt is interrupted as he falls into a vent, landing into a party on top of a buffet table with Energon, taking some as he leaves.)

Orion Pax:
Ooh, Energon. Evening, everyone. Pardon me.
