Megatron: Urrrrr-ragghh! It’s not here. I’ll find it… soon.
[Transition]
Landmine: Errrgghhh!
Optimus: Errrghh! I’m gonna train you hard, Landmine. That’s the only way you could get back to full power.
Landmine: Fine by me.
Optimus: Yaaah!
Landmine: Yaah! Hyah! Nice Metallikato kick!
Optimus: Yahhh… I had a good teacher.
Landmine: Well, here’s a couple of moves I didn’t teach ya!
[Transition]
Coby: (Yawns) Do we really have to listen to the weather report? Ya know, whatever they say, it’s always the opposite.
Jolt: Watching Earth TV teaches me about your planet. But I must say, you Earthlings communicate in the strangest ways.
President (on TV): A proactive coalition for trans-national synergy.
Jolt: See what I mean? Just listen!
President (on TV): Indemnifying conglomerate bi-partisanship.
Jolt: I don’t think those are real words, are they?
Coby: They’re real words. They just don’t mean anything.
Jolt: Then… why use them?
Coby: Ehh, that’s just how politicians talk.
Jolt: Oh…
Coby: She’s the new President.
Jolt: Pres-i-dent.
[Transition]
ATC Officer: All clear. Proceed.
Franklin: Heheh. I’ve got you this time.
[Transition]
Megatron: How ironic. On a speed planet, the Cyber Planet Key is a racing trophy. Win the race and unlock the power of the universe. Hahaha! How very amusing, and a waste of time. Let the Autobot fools keep racing around in circles. My method is much more direct. Haaa! Still standing?! How?! Huh… Uhh-ugh! Not here, then where is it?
Ransack: Megatron, we have some news!
Megatron: What kind of news?
Ransack & Crumplezone: Heheheheheh…
[Transition]
Coby: (Yawns) Summer break is so boring.
Bud: Yeah, what he said.
Lori: That’s three of us.
Jolt: Really? I’m fascinated. What? What do you mean you’re bored too?
Bud: Hey! You know what’s not boring? A playdate with all of us at our houses!
Jolt: Playdate? What is play and what is a date? Well, of course humans need to eat, but —
Bud: Mmhmm. That’s right. I’m starving.
Lori: I might faint if I don’t eat something soon.
Jolt: Oh my, I do not want Lori to faint.
Coby: Then we’d better go home for lunch! Let’s go!
Bud & Lori: Heheh.
Jolt: No! Please! We cannot go to a human home! It is not permitted! Hold on! Well, don’t leave me here… Hey!
News Reporter (on TV): According to unnamed sources, the gold deposits recently discovered in the Mt. McDermott area may be the largest in history. Governor Harman has pledged to use the gold to bring prosperity to the region. And hundreds of miners have already been hired to work in the new mine. However, critics claim the mining may harm the environment, endangering local wildlife and possibly even threatening the humans who live in the area.
Sheriff: Did you hear the President’s speech at the UN today? I couldn’t understand a word she said.
Fire Chief: Doesn’t matter what she says, she just has to look presidential and throw a few big words around. That’s how you establish authority, eh, Sheriff? Am I right or am I right?
Sheriff: Well, it’s just a theory. I just throw ’em in jail if they mess up.
Fire Chief: That works too! Town’s safe and the roads are quiet, thanks to you.
Sheriff: Nobody crosses the line when I’m around.
Kids: Woohoo!
Fire Chief: Whoa!
Sheriff: Not in my town you don’t, boys!
Coby: Not for now, let’s hit it!
Bud: Oh great! Those are police sirens! We’re going to be on the six o’clock news!
Lori: So what’s up with boys and fast cars, anyway?
Jolt: Heheh! On my planet, the boys turn into fast cars! What’s that strange sound, Lori?
Lori: It’s called a siren and you can start worrying now…
Sheriff: They’re mine!
Jolt: We’re not allowed to interfere with Earth authorities.
Lori: What?! Err!
Jolt: Sorry, it’s against the prime directive.
Lori: Sometimes you gotta bend the rules, Jolt!
Jolt: Mini-Cons do not do that.
Lori: Well, they’d better start.
Coby: Huh?! We’ve gotta stop, awww!
Bud: We are so busted.
Coby: I don’t wanna go to jail!
Lori: Coby! Jolt’s got a plan!
Jolt: Turn on your holoscreen.
Sheriff: All right, joyride’s over. Whaddya think, House, we got us a juvenile delinquent here?
Fire Chief: Let’s roll it down and find out.
President (Hologram): As your President, I’d like to commend you, officer.
Fire Chief: Aah!
Sheriff: Aaaaahh!
President (Hologram): The Vice President and I are most impressed. Your proactive bi-partisan synergy is indemnifying. Good work. Carry on.
Fire Chief: Uh, the President?!
Sheriff: What did she say?!
Fire Chief: I have no idea!

Mine Foreman: Break time. Ya got thirty minutes. Be sure to punch your time cards. Follow mining safety procedure and leave your stations in safe condition.

Samurai #1 (on TV): (Trash talks opponent.)
Bud: Oh, watch this part! It’s so cool!
Samurai #2 (on TV): That ninja vanished in a wisp of flatulence!
Samurai #1 (on TV): Yes, it is (ninja’s name).
Bud: Huh?
Samurai #2 (on TV): I will dishonour your guts with my reverse quacking duck attack!
Coby: Bud likes ninja flicks.
Jolt: So I see. What are these for?
Coby: They’re not for anything. They’re just family photos.
Jolt: Why do you keep them?
Coby: They make me feel good. You see, for most humans, family is the most important thing and photos help to, uhhh — I can’t really explain it.
Jolt: Please try. It will help me understand human.
Coby: Okay, check this out.
Jolt: Oh-ho, wow! Cool vehicle!
Coby: That’s a rollercoaster. It’s really scary and fun.
Jolt: You enjoy being scared? Confusing.
Coby: Hahahaha!
Coby’s Mom (on video): Green gloop, heheh, don’t drink it all in one gulp.
Young Coby (on video): I want more green gloopy drink, Mom! Can we buy a whole gallon and take it home?
Coby’s Dad (on video): Only a gallon? Why don’t we buy enough to fill the pool, and then we can swim in it!
Young Coby (on video): Hahahaha!
Coby’s Mom (on video): Don’t spill it!
Coby: It’s all about family togetherness. Mom and Dad are here! And they’re right outside! We’ve got alien robots in the house! Parents freak out over stuff like that!
Jolt: Is this a problem, Coby?
Coby: No, it’s a disaster!
Coby’s Dad: Hey, kids.
Coby: Bud, did you hear me? Mom and Dad are — ehh?
Bud: He disappeared in a puff of flatulence!
Coby: Ohh, we’ve gotta disappear! Mom and Dad are downstairs! Repeat, downstairs!
Bud: No way!
Coby: Yes way. Get the bots in the closet, fast.
Bud: You know, I saw this in a movie, the parents are…
Coby: I don’t wanna hear it, Bud.
Coby’s Dad: Kids, are you up here?
Coby & Bud: Ehhh…
Coby’s Dad: All right, what is it this time, felony or misdemeanor?
Coby & Bud: Hi Dad, how’s it going?
Coby’s Dad: Is there something in that closet?
Coby: Whatever could you possibly mean, Dad?
Bud: There’s no alien robots, if that’s what you were thinking…
Coby: Put a lid on it, Bud!
Coby’s Dad: Alien robots, huh? Heh, that’s a good one. Now what’s really in there? Open the closet now.
Coby’s Mom: Telephone! It’s George next door, says he got a new fishing pole; says he can catch more fish than you now!
Coby’s Dad: What? I can out-fish him with a string and a safety pin. Gimme the phone!
Jolt: Hiding us can’t be good. That’s not really family togetherness.
Coby: Yeah, you’re probably right, Jolt.
Jolt: Ah…
[Transition]
Jolt: My planet didn’t have sunsets.
Coby: I hope I can visit your planet one day.
Bud: Dude, that was close…
Coby: Yeah, I know.
Jolt: We’ll be able to share our mission with your parents soon, Coby.
[Transition]
Lori: Hey, are you crying? What’s the matter? Oh, the Little Match Girl. Yeah, that is a sad story. I didn’t realize you were so sensitive. What, is there something wrong, Six-Speed?
Miners: Aaaaahh!
Coby: Hey!
Lori: Coby! You guys okay?
Coby: Yeah, we’re all safe.
Bud: For now. This is scary!
Jolt: Everyone, please stay calm. We have procedures to deal with earthquakes. I’ll contact Optimus. Are we patched in? We’ve got a code red out here!
Optimus: We’re aware of the earthquake, Jolt. Scattorshot’s trying to get a fix on it.
Scattorshot: I got it. The epicenter’s in Mt. McDermott. It’s right where that new goldmine’s located.
Jolt: Is it stablized now?
Scattorshot: Not even close. That mountain could come crashing down at any minute. And that town is right nearby!
Optimus: Those people are in danger. I’ll put together a team and head over there immediately. We’ve got to save them without exposing ourselves. This is what being robots in disguise is all about.
Jolt: Right, Optimus.
[Transition]
Optimus: Autobot rollcall! Optimus Prime!
Landmine: Landmine, rolling out!
Overhaul: Overhaul, let me out!
Scattorshot: Scattorshot, hey, wait for me!
Pedestrians: Aaahh!
Fire Chief: Alpha squad, the people — get ’em off the streets and in the city hall! Beta squad, the fire — put it out! Gamma squad, back us up! The earthquake! What a complete disaster.
Fireman #1: Chief House, look!
Optimus: Obstacle ahead! Jump it!
Landmine: Comin’ at ‘cha, Prime!
Fireman #1: Did you see that, you guys? I dunno who they were, but I tell ya, I sure am glad they’re on our side!
Fire Chief: I haven’t got a clue who they are, but they’re gonna need help! You men start clearing this debris, a-sap!
Firemen: Yessir!
Jolt: This is where the earthquake started.
Bud: That’s Mt. McDermott! Where the new goldmine is!
Lori: But our town is at the foot of the mountain. What is gonna happen to it?
Jolt: We don’t know yet. We need more data. Reverb, Six-Speed, scan the area and do a geo-analysis. It looks like the whole mountain is going to collapse! Ohh.
Coby: Oh man, that doesn’t look good.
Jolt: I’m afraid it’s not quite that simple. Look here. There’s a huge reservoir of water directly under the mountain. If the mountain collapses, all that water will come bursting out and the town will be flooded!
Kids: Hhh?!
Lori: But that’s our home!
Coby: Jolt, how are we gonna stop a whole mountain from coming down?
Jolt: Don’t worry, Coby. You’ve been like family to us. So we’ll save your home — our home, together.
Coby: That’s… true.
Jolt: Mmmhmm.
Coby: Jolt, our families are in mortal danger! Let’s go!
Kids & Jolt: Go!
[Transition]
Optimus: Landmine and Overhaul will help you with the disaster areas in town. Scattorshot and I will join up with Jolt and head for the epicenter. Remember, the humans think we’re just trucks. Let’s keep it that way. Split up.
Overhaul & Landmine: Right!
Coby’s Dad: Why did we go out tonight?
Coby’s Mom: The kids are still at home!
Coby: Over here!
Optimus: Transform!
Scattorshot: Transform!
Coby: We’ve gotta hurry, Optimus!
Optimus: Yes, but we must proceed carefully.
Jolt: Sir, we’ve finished our scan, and we’ve you mapped out the terrain.
Optimus: Right, I got your recon. The data files have been forwarded to the base.
Lori: Optimus! It’s our town, it’s our families.
Optimus: Don’t worry, kids. You’re helping to save our home, now we’re gonna save yours. That’s what we do. Contact Jetfire now. Get him online.
Scattorshot: Already there.
Optimus: Jetfire, show us the best way in.
Jetfire: You got it.
Optimus: Decompress the data. We need visuals.
Scattorshot: Decompressed. And we’re linked.
Sheriff: Don’t push. There’s enough room in the city hall for everyone. Proceed in an orderly fashion.
Landmine: ‘Cuse me… Where’s the hardest hit area?
Sheriff: North edge of town. The power lines are down. The whole area’s collapsing.
Landmine: Thanks.
Overhaul: We’ll get right on it.
Sheriff: Hmm? Who was that?
Landmine: This place is a mess.
Overhaul: Story of my life. Hey Landmine, those power lines are live.
Landmine: You leave ’em to me. Might be humans trapped in there. Can ya get over those barriers to check it out?
Overhaul: When do barriers ever stop me? See ya! Urgh.
Landmine: Urghh… Argghh! Can’t… back up! Gotta push through it! Booyah!
Scattorshot: We hit a dead end. It’s gonna blow! And all of our firepower can’t stop it!
Coby: There has to be a way.
Optimus: Jolt, where did the humans go?
Jolt: They couldn’t evacuate. They’re in City Hall.
Jetfire: Optimus, new data. There’s been a shift in the rock strata. We’ve got five minutes before the mountain caves and the flooding starts. Within an hour, there’ll be nothing left but a puddle. You won’t be able to tell there was ever a town there.
Scattorshot: What if I crash into the mountain at full speed?!
Jetfire: No, Scattorshot. That’d make things worse.
Optimus: We’ve got to go to City Hall and evacuate as many humans as we can. It’s our only option.
Jolt: But Opti —
Optimus: We’ll do the best we can.
Coby: Optimus, I was just thinking.
Optimus: About what, Coby?
Coby: About… about green gloop.
Optimus: Hmm?
[Transition]
Overhaul: Someone’s in there. I can hear ’em. Hrghh, urgggh, rrrghh!
Pedestrians: Aaahh!
Overhaul: Uh oh. Can’t let ’em see me. Proceed straight to town hall, carefully. The way is clear.
Landmine: Anyone left?
Guy: I’m the last one. Whoever’s driving, thanks a lot!
Coby: The mine shaft ends just a few metres above the reservoir. We can pump the water out, like a gigantic drinking straw. We need to get it a tube through the rock and into the reservoir. Once the water’s gone, we can collapse the mountain safely.
Optimus: By Primus’ spark! Brilliant!
Scattorshot: Yeah, no pressure!
Jolt: Coby! Did you think of this because… y’know…
Coby: What do you think?
Jolt: Adults can learn a lot from kids like you, Coby.
Coby: Now let’s see if it actually works.
Optimus: It has to work!
[Transition]
Coby’s Mom: I hope the rescue teams have found the kids. Oh, Robert…
Coby’s Dad: It’s okay, honey. Knowing Coby and Bud, they’re probably trying to save us.
[Transition]
Jolt: Jolt, transform! Here’s the shaft, but it’s covered up. Ready?
Scattorshot: In a big way! Transform!
Jolt: Go for it!
Scattorshot: Double Barrel Missile Blast!
Jolt: The shaft is open!
Optimus: Brilliant!
Jolt: You’re up, Optimus! Nice shot! It’s going right down into the reservoir! We’re in position.
Optimus: Activating hydro pump!
Lori: Oh, man. He’s got a thousand tonnes of water to suck up.
Bud: He should’ve used a flavour straw. Think it tastes like green gloop?
Optimus: It tastes like success. I’m almost finished.
Kids: Yeah, that’s excellent!
Bud: Good to the last drop.
Optimus: Have a blast, Scattorshot.
Scattorshot: I think I’ll have two! On target!
Coby: He’s guiding them right to the spot.
Kids: Aaaaahh!
Jolt: Don’t worry! It’s okay. Perfect! It fell right into place.
Coby: Look, it stopped.
Lori: We did, Coby!
Bud: All right! Check it out! Woohoo!
[Transition]
Vector Prime: Well done.
Landmine: The humans are okay. Our job is finished.
Overhaul: Then let’s roll out.
Optimus: They’re safe, thanks to you, Coby.
Coby: Me?
Optimus: That green gloop idea was one in a million.
Coby: Not too shabby.
Jolt: Our team is like a family. Right, Coby?
Coby: Right.
Optimus: Speaking of family, Coby.
Coby: Yeah, you’re right. We don’t want them to worry, do we?
Lori & Bud: Mmhmm.
Optimus: Six-Speed, Reverb, do you know what a chauffeur is? Then please give our heroes a safe ride home.
Coby: I have got the coolest friends on Earth!
Jolt: So do we — you guys!
Optimus: Now let’s get back to our family. Transform!
Jolt: Transform!
Scattorshot: Transform! By the way, what is green gloop?
Jolt: Hahahaha! I’ll tell ya later!
[Transition]
Sheriff: Well, House, no more crisis. We can relax.
Fire Chief: Until the next one.
Coby: Hey Mom! Dad!
Coby’s Dad: Coby!
Coby’s Mom: Bud!
Coby’s Dad: Great, Son, you’re all right! Haha.

Megatron: Talk fast.
Ransack: You want the Planet Key? We can get the Planet Key. Fast enough for ya?
Megatron: Tell me something, just how would you manage that?
Crumplezone: Oh, gee, uh, I forget.
Ransack: We race for it.
Megatron: So, you think you can beat Override, then.
Ransack: Exactly. And we’re entered in the race!
Crumplezone: And so are we!
Ransack: Of course, we don’t have to play fair, do we?
Crumplezone: You’re right.
Megatron: (Thinking) These fools couldn’t possibly win. But if they cause enough chaos in the race, it will be that much easier for me to get the Key unchallenged. (Out loud) Okay, we’ve got a deal.
Crumplezone: All right!
Ransack: Oh, whoa!
Megatron: But if you two are thinking of betraying me…
Ransack & Crumplezone: We wouldn’t do that.
Megatron: Oh no?
Ransack & Crumplezone: Aaaahh!
Megatron: See that you don’t! Transform!
Crumplezone: What a nice guy!
Hot Shot: Oh, so the Cyber Planet Key is the race trophy! (VO) That means it all depends on who’s the fastest. And that’s gonna be me. (Out loud) Hot Shot, transform! We’re gonna have us a race!
