Transformers Prime (2010) s01e01 Episode Script

Darkness Rising (1)

So there I am on a lookout when out of nowhere these high beams light up my rearview.
And then it hits me I'm illegally parked! Another parking ticket? Better.
The boat.
Big metal tire clamp, impossible to remove.
Bingo! The local police do that thing and get me all the way down by a block.
That's when I kick up my new shiny shoe and BANG! - New York spionage soil themselves.
- You know me, Arcee.
- Mess with Cliffjumper - And check out the horns.
Not sure how that complies with Autobot rule number one - 'Keep a low profile'? - What can I say? - Patrolling for energon out here is dull and gets me all on lonesome.
Almost makes me miss the Decepticons.
Like Jasper Nevada's a party? We're alone where ever we travel on this rock, Cliff.
Im getting a signal.
- Need backup? - Do I ever need backup? I just found a hole lot of energon.
Decepticons! Arcee, about that backup Transformers Prime Iwanita Fair warning, boys I'll put a few dents in y'all.
Arcee to Optimus, the Cons are back! Cliff might be neck-deep in scrap! Understood.
Ratchet, do you have Cliffjumper's coordinates? Im locked on his signal, Optimus.
But our team's scattered across timezones.
Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee.
Rendezvous back at base prepare to ground bridge.
You want the horns? You got them! The energon, it's worthless to me now.
Scream It's been a while So, where's your master? Never mind him.
I am my own master.
Any more questions? Clean that up.
An untapped energon deposit.
What's left of it.
The first Deception activity in three years.
That we know of.
If they're scouting for energon, they maybe preparing for his return.
No Ratchet, can you track his position? No Cliffjumper's life signal just went offline.
Soundwave, what is it? Like Jasper Nevada's a party? We're alone where ever we travel on this rock, Cliff.
Ah, the one called Arcee.
Why slay just one Autobot When we still have the advantage of surprise? We must not allow our anger over the lost of Cliffjumper to impair our judgement.
As of today Only we five Autobots remain on this Earth.
We owe it to ourselves to the memory of Cybertron, to any Autobots in any Galaxies seeking safe harbour, to humankind.
And we owe it to the memory of our fallen comrade to survive.
- Arcee - If Cliff's gone standing around here sulking won't bring him back.
So unless anyone minds I think I'll get back to protecting humankind.
Optimus Helping humans will only result in more tragedy.
Your opinion is noted.

- Friend of yours? - Family.
Hi, mama.
Racing, right up the street.
Okay, just five more minutes? You have no idea.
This ends here, Cons.
What are they? Talking cars that turn into robots Or the other way around.
This is for Cliff! No problem.
Really.
Leave him alone! - Please? - Bad call.
Come on! Come on! Keep moving! Thank you.
- Don't look back.
- What did we just see? No idea, and I'm not sure I want to find out.
Who's ready to rumble? - What took you? - Traffic.
And the Cons would have been scrap metal if I hadn't been distracted by the human.
Human? Two boys.
I guess a second one caught us in action, I don't know.
I was a little busy at the time.
If the Decepticons are targeting us Anyone perceived as our ally Will be at grave risk.
Raf, hey.
Look let just, keep this between us and forget anything ever happened, okay? Jack.
Oh, not again.
He want us to get in.
- No, just me.
- How do you know that? - It said so.
- What? Yours is over there.
I really don't think it - How is it going? - Raf? Wait! Stop! Coolest.
Bike.
Ever.
House parents? Ignore.
Relax, I just wanna talk to you.
Don't you mean you and your new friend? Kid, there's a lot you don't understand.
No, I get it, I get it.
The first rule of robot fight club is you don't talk about robot fight club.
What you need to understand is that I don't want a bunch of crazy talking vehicles Following me around trying to get me killed! Look, Jack, is it? Your personal safety is exactly why Optimus Prime has requested your presence.
Optimus who? You may be in danger because you are one of the few one of the only who have ever seen us.
Dude, what are you waiting for? Go with! Scrap.
And why exactly are we taking her? Rules.
I thought they were two.
Haven't you heard? Humans multiply.
- I am Raf.
- I am Miko.
Who are you? Bulkhead.
Are you a car? I bet you're a truck, a monster truck! Do you like heavy metal? How much do you weigh? Ever used a wrecking ball for a punching bag? So if you guys are robots, who made you? Oh, please We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron.
Also known as Autobots.
Why are you here? To protect your planet, from the Decepticons.
The jokers who tried to bump us off last night? Okay.
Why are they here? A fair question, Jack.
In part they are here because our planet is uninhabitable.
Ravaged by centuries of civil war.
Why were you fighting a war? For most, over control of our world supply of energon.
The fuel and life-blood of all Autobots and Decepticons alike.
The combat was fierce and endured for centuries.
In the begining I fought alongside one who I considered a brother.
But in war, ideals can be corrupted.
And it was thus that Megatron lost his way.
Is there gonna be a quiz? So what is Megatron Or any of these have to do with us? Megatron has not been seen or heard from in sometime.
But if his return is imminent as I fear, it could be a catastrophic.
Those transmissions are emanating from deep space.
I would hate to waste the energon Unless you are absolutely certain.
Then lock on transmission coordinates And activate the space bridge.
Decepticons! I have returned.
