Transformers: Cybertron
"Space" - Episode 5
Transcription by Brandon Williams
 

Bud: Awww! Hot Shot's outta here and so is Red Alert. They're both tootling around space and I'm stuck here. Aww... What a drag.

Jolt: Is something wrong, Master Bud?

Bud: I'm not a master, I told you that.

Jolt: Right. Sorry, Bud... dude.

Bud: What if I went into space?! With you guys?!

Jolt: Huh?! You're human, we could never do that!

Bud: Never say never to me! Picture the Bud-Man as Space Dude Numero Uno! Not your typical superhero, he's got style, attitude and no limits! That's it, I've just gotta go into space!

Jolt: Hrrh?

Bud: Right now!

Jolt: Slow down! You humans are so impatient!

Scattorshot: Jolt, is your neural net malfunctioning? You don't really think I'm gonna take this boy into space, do ya?

Jolt: Not into space, exactly, just a ride on the big invisible spacebridge!

Scattorshot: No way. That's a big negatory. Negative. No. Forget it.

Bud: (Sighs.)

Jolt: Why don't you think of him as a human ambassador on a goodwill visit?

Scattorshot: Goodwill what?

Jolt: When humans and Cybertronians join hands across the cosmos, that's a goodwill visit. And you could make it happen, 'Shot.

Scattorshot: Join hands across the cosmos, huh? Y'know, I think I like the sound of that.

Bud: Hhh! All right!

[Transition]

Bud: Hhh...!

Scattorshot: Remember my instructions, Bud. Use your safety equipment. Space can be very dangerous, but if you're careful, it's amazing...

Jolt: He's the first human boy who's ever gone into space. Good luck, Bud-dude!

Bud: So this is like a space highway, only no one can see it but us.

Scattorshot: They say the sky's the limit, but we're going higher than the sky itself! Let's fly!

Bud: Whoa, how cool is this! Hahaha!

[Transition]

Hot Shot: So this is Speed Planet. The name says it all. This is my kinda place.

Red Alert: Well, it's unique, I'll say that much.

Hot Shot: Hmm.

Red Alert: But what's the point?

Hot Shot: What?

Red Alert: These roads twist and turn for no reason. It's completely frivilous. What kind of people would design roads like that?

Hot Shot: Fast people.

Red Alert: Hmm?

Hot Shot: Giant ramps and hairpin turns, this whole place is built for racing. It's like... paradise! Whoa...

Red Alert: And you want to race in paradise, don't you?

Hot Shot: Yeah... -- I mean no!

Red Alert: We have strict orders from Optimus Prime. We cannot race with the locals; we shouldn't even talk to them.

Hot Shot: How come everyone thinks I'm gonna mess up just 'cause I like to drive fast? I'd never break Optimus' orders.

Red Alert: See that you don't. This mission is crucial. We've got to find the Cyber Planet Key before Megatron gets it. Now let's go!

Hot Shot: If I can't race the locals, I can always race you!

Red Alert: Eat my dust!

[Transition]

Jetfire: Scattorshot, come in! Scattorshot! Huh? Scattorshot, where have you been -- oh.

Coby: Uh, hey, big guy. What's the problem?

Jetfire: Scattorshot's gone. I think he went into space, but why would he do that?

Lori: Heh, you know Scattorshot. Where's everyone else?

Jetfire: Hot Shot and Red Alert are on Speed Planet. Optimus and Vector Prime have gone to the British Isles to search for the Omega Lock at a sacred druid site. They think the answer could be there, amid the ancient ruins.

Optimus: Nothing so far, Vector!

Vector Prime: Don't give up. Please.

Coby: 'Course nobody asked us to go.

Lori: I bet Bud's there as usual.

Jetfire: We don't know where Bud is.

Coby: That's weird. He said after school he was planning to come straight here.

[Transition]

Bud: Uh, did you see the gauges? We're getting lots of solar radiation!

Scattorshot: Yeah, the sun's intense in the stratosphere, but don't worry, my climate controls will keep ya cool.

Bud: Good, 'cause I didn't bring any sunscreen, did you?

Scattorshot: Uh, that stuff doesn't really work on my titanium casing. Now we're gonna enter space soon. You sure you really wanna do this, Bud?

Bud: Hey, are you kidding? Bring it on.

Scattorshot: You got it, partner.

[Transition]

Override: This is why I'm the top speedster on Speed Planet. Everyone here is fast, but I'm the fastest! I just wish I had some serious competition once in a while. Whoa, who's that? This guy thinks he's cool; let's see how cool he is when I charge straight at him! One more second and I'd have knocked you down like a bowling pin!

Megatron: Hmm, keep dreaming. What's your name?

Override: Why don't you tell me your name first? You're obviously not from around here.

Megatron: I'm Megatron. I'm looking for Override, the leader of this planet.

Override: You found 'er, tough guy.

Megatron: Hmmm... This is going to be interesting. I'd better not underestimate her power. (Out loud) I am here for the Cyber Planet Key. So tell me, where is it?

Override: Oh... Looking for the Cyber Planet Key. You'd have to race me for that info.

Megatron: All to easy. Megatron, transform! Call it.

Override: Three... two... one! Burn rubber! Catchin' air! Now this is a race! Yeah-ha! Ha, ha!

Megatron: Time to leave you in the dust!

Override: I don't think so! Straight away! Almost home! Burn it!

Megatron: That all you've got? Cyber Key -- Power! Now you're mine!

Override: What?! I thought you were history!

Megatron: You thought wrong!

Override: We'll see about that!

Megatron: Hahahaha... Hahaha! Who won?

Override: I was first.

Megatron: (VO) Hmm... She must've cheated. I never lose!

Override: Hey... Big guy...

Megatron: What is it? If you've got something to say, spit it out.

Override: Uh, that Planet Key thing, never heard of it. Got no idea what you're looking for. I just wanted to race, y'know?

Megatron: Heh, and now you're curious. I'll tell you about the key, if you can outrace me again. Let me know when you want a rematch.

Override: (VO) Heh. Anytime.

[Transition]

Lori: Autobots may vanish into thin air, but... human boys don't do that!

Jolt: I'm not saying he vanished. It's just that Master Bud -- I mean Bud-dude -- is not here! Heheh.

Coby: Where is he?

Jolt: Uhhh, somewhere with a... nice view?

Coby & Lori: Huh?

[Transition]

Bud: Nice view! You know, there was a scene like this in "Mutants from Beyond."

Scattorshot: That's a movie, this is real life.

Bud: Yeah, what's your point? Hhh! Hey, space has zero gravity! I should be able to fly here, right? Huh?

Scattorshot: Noo-hoo. We put a gravity field in here. The Transway's more functional that way.

Bud: But I wanna fly!

Scattorshot: Next you'll want a playground on the moon! Huh? There's something out there... It's them, Starscream and Thundercracker!

[Transition]

Optimus: It was a good try, but we hit another dead end, Vector Prime.

Vector Prime: We must persevere. If our enemies find the Cyber Planet Key first, it will be a disaster. Aaah!

Optimus: What's that?!

Thundercracker: It's the last thing you'll ever see, Prime. We're taking you out! Now! Both of ya.

Vector Prime: Pulse attack! Ugh!

Bud: Hey! We gotta get outta here! Scattorshot!

Scattorshot: It's too late!

Bud & Scattorshot: Aaaaaaahhh!

[Transition]

Crumplezone: You raced against Override? Wow! Did you win?

Megatron: Nevermind. She doesn't know anything about the Cyber Planet Keys, so it doesn't matter.

Crumplezone: Hey, how 'bout Brakedown?

Megatron: Who's that?

Ransack: Ehh, just an old pile of wreckage. He's been around forever.

Crumplezone: He might know about those piano keys.

Megatron: They're Cyber Planet Keys!

Crumplezone: Whatever.

Ransack: Maybe we can shake 'im down, get some info...

Crumplezone: If we shake 'im, he'll fall apart! Heheheh...

Megatron: Track him down at once!

Crumplezone & Ransack: Right!

Megatron: Find out what he knows. Use any means necessary. Now, move out!

[Transition]

Starscream: Get Vector Prime!

Vector Prime: Ugh!

Thundercracker: Got 'im!

Optimus: Optimus Prime, massive attack mode!

Starscream: Starscream, transform! Hrhh. Cyber Key Power! Prepare for battle! Eraagh!

Optimus: Come and get it! Cyber Key Power!

Overhaul: We have to turn up the heat on these jokers, now!

Landmine: Ya got that right. I'll call Jetfire back at the base. He'll co-ordinate the air strike. Jetfire, we've got some bad company. Requesting backup.

Jetfire: Deploy.

Coby: (Impersonating Jetfire) "Coby and Lori, you stay here and watch the base." Great. You know, maybe we could help out sometime if they'd let us.

Lori: That reminds me, where did Bud and Scattorshot go, anyway? You said it's somewhere with a view.

Coby: Hey, hey...

Lori: Where is he?!

Jolt: In space!

Lori: Huh?

Coby & Lori: He's in space?!

Lori: What do you mean?!

Jolt: He wanted to see space and he seemed upset when I said no, so I finally said yes and I talked Scattorshot into it...!

Lori: So he got to go and we didn't?!

Coby: That's not the point. They should be back here. I'd better do a quick triangulation. Let's see if I can find the algorithm for this. There it is! Huh?!

Bud: I said I wanted to fly, not float in space till the end of time!

Scattorshot: Hang in there, partner!

Jolt: Now don't worry. They've got enough oxygen. They're gonna be just fine! ...For awhile...

Coby: A while? How long awhile?

Jolt: About, uh, fifteen... minutes...!

Lori: That's all the time they've got?!

Coby: Jetfire! We've got an emergency situation!

Jetfire: What is it?

Lori: Bud's in the spacebridge and he's running out of air.

Jetfire: I'm on it.

Starscream: Aagh! Aaaah!

Optimus: Ugh!

Vector Prime: Optimus, you must help Jetfire! I'll stay here and fight!

Optimus: Right!

Thundercracker: Now! Aaah!

Starscream: You're not going anywhere!

[Transition]

Scattorshot: I should never have brought you out here...

Bud: You were just trying to be nice. No matter what happens now, I experienced something that other kids only dream about. Thanks a lot, Scattorshot. Hhh...!

Scattorshot: What's the matter, Bud?

Bud: I think I'm running out of air... You see, we humans -- hhh... -- we need to breathe oxygen.

[Transition]

Jolt: This is all my fault! I'm a worthless excuse for a Mini-Con!

Coby: Stop talking and start doing!

Jolt: Doing? Uh, doing what?

Lori: We can begin by transforming.

Jolt: You can transform? Huh?

Coby & Lori: No, you can.

Jolt: Oh, right! Ready to fly?

Coby: Yeah.

Jolt: Let's do it!

Bud: Hhh... I see something... It's Jetfire...

Jetfire: Stay right there, Bud. I've got ya.

Bud: Hhh?

Jetfire: Huh?

Scattorshot & Bud: Aaah!

Jetfire: Gah. Hold on!

Scattorshot: We can't stand this much heat!

Coby: What happened?

Lori: They got hit by a satellite. They entered the atmosphere. If we don't catch them, they'll burn up!

Coby: What about their heat shield?

Lori: It's maxed out! You've got to save them, Coby.

Jolt: I'm trying to intercept them, but where are they?!

Coby: There they are!

Jolt: All right. Hang on!

[Transition]

Thundercracker: Eat plasma!

Starscream: Ragh!

Landmine: Optimus, can ya bring 'em down to ground level? Then we can take over.

Optimus: I see your point. Let's go.

Vector Prime: Right.

Starscream: We've got 'em on the run. Now let's finish it!

Thundercracker: Yeehaw!

Landmine: Here they come!

Overhaul: I'm ready.

Starscream: It's a trap!

Thundercracker: Whaddya mean?!

Starscream: Two Autobots at ground level that think I'm stupid enough to get caught! Circle around and strafe, I'll take these fools head on!

Overhaul: What?!

Landmine: Look out!

Overhaul: Uggh!

Landmine: Aaah!

Thundercracker: Hehehe! What a cryin' shame! Caught in your own rattrap!

Overhaul: That punk, I'll take 'im apart! Errraaaggghhhhh! Cyber Key Power! Slam Attack!

Thundercracker: Aaaahh!

Starscream: Hey, stay away from me! Aaaah!

Starscream: Shut up, you idiot! Time to retreat.

Scattorshot & Bud: Aaah! Aaaaah!

Optimus: Jetfire, hurry!

Jetfire: I'm there!

Bud: It's... it's gonna burn through...

Coby: Bud!

Bud: Hhh! Coby! Is, is that you?!

Coby: Hang on!

Jolt: That thing's moving fast!

Bud: Optimus!

Jolt: I can do it! Ergggghhh!

Optimus: They vanished!

Vector Prime: I think I know why.

Bud: Huh? Wha...? We're.... back at the base...

Coby: Which is where you were supposed to be all along.

Bud: Hhh. Coby! Yeah!

Coby: Who'd ya think?!

Bud: Yeah!

Scattorshot: But how'd we get here?

Jolt: You know how Vector Prime goes through dimension gates? Well, he's been teaching us to do it too. Of course, Mini-Cons can only go through mini-dimension gates, but that was enough to get you back. Get it?

Bud: Uhhh...

Jolt: Anyway, a hearty welcome home, Master Bud! I mean, uh, Bud-dude.

[Transition]

Hot Shot: So we're supposed to find the Cyber Planet Key, but we can't ask the locals or even let them know we're here.

Red Alert: Right.

Red Alert: Let it be a challenge, okay?

Dirt Boss: Cyber Key Power!

Hot Shot: Sweet!

Red Alert: Did you see the colour?

Hot Shot: Yeah, it's like purple.

Red Alert: No, not the car. I'm talking about the colour of the Cyber Key. Our keys come in different colours, but on the planet, they're all exactly the same.

Hot Shot: Whatever...

Crumplezone: Yeah! All right!

Ransack: Yeehoo!

Hot Shot: Who's that?

Ransack: Hahaha! Yeah!

Brakedown & Clocker: Huh?

Brakedown: Get outta here, ya hooligans!

Clocker: Yeah, beat it!

Hot Shot: They're in trouble!

Red Alert: We can't interfere. Remember, we're not to interact with the beings on this planet, period, Hot Shot.

Hot Shot: Hey, you already told me that.

Red Alert: But your audio receptors are malfunctioning! As a doctor, I must caution you.

Brakedown: I've had enough of this. Cyber Key Power! Errauggh.

Crumplezone: Crumplezone, transform!

Ransack: Ransack, transform! Hey, Crumplezone, looks like this old guy wants to play hardball.

Crumplezone: Good, I like to play too, but I play for keeps. Heh, heh, heh...

Ransack: I'm thinking Iron Whirlwind attack.

Crumplezone: A double piledriver would be a lot more fun.

Brakedown: Ehhhhh...

Clocker: Leave him alone! Slag off!

Brakedown: No!

Hot Shot: They're thugs!

Brakedown: That's it!

Crumplezone & Ransack: Cyber Key Power!

Ransack: When we're all done with youse guys, you'll be ready for the wreckin' yard.

Crumplezone: Start the slagfest. Heh, heh...

Crumplezone: Heheheheh...

Ransack: Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Crumplezone & Ransack: Hmm?! Aaaah!

Hot Shot: You okay?

Brakedown: Yeah, I think so. How about you?

Hot Shot: Mmm...! Maybe not...

Red Alert: You went directly against Optimus Prime's orders, Hot Shot! You've jeopardized our entire mision!

Hot Shot: I had to protect them, but I -- uh -- oh, what have I done?!
