This is a sequel to my rewrite of Transformers vs G.I. Joe. Hopefully, Transfans and 'G.I. Joe' fans will both find it entertaining.
I edited some scenes on Jan. 14 and changed the name of Starscream's faction-- "Destroyers" sounds better than "Decepti-Conquerors". Shockwave's faction, "Destrongers", got their name from Gigatron's faction in "Transformers Car Robot", known as "Transformers: Robots in Disguise" in the US.

TEXT: Winter, 1941.
In the US Capitol, POTUS faces the Vice President, Congress, and members of the press. A Harley-Davidson WLA motorcycle in desert camouflage is parked beside him.
POTUS: Yesterday--
Flashback begins. Morning. A Cobra fleet-- including two Shokaku class aircraft carriers and two Yamato class battleships-- approaches Pearl Harbor.
TEXT: Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, Hawaii. United States of America.
POTUS: A date which will live in infamy-- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval, air, and amphibious forces of Japan, Russia... and Cobra, the terrorists whose brand of cruelty was once burned into the lands and peoples of Western Europe.
The Terrordome flies over the Cobra fleet. Starscream, the Terrordome commander, opens the command center roof and raises his chair to survey Pearl Harbor. He aims his power saber at the USS Arizona, a battleship docked in the harbor.
Bruticus stands on the roof, behind Starscream. His Superweapon-2 fires the RDS-1 atomic bomb, which penetrates the battleship's armor before detonating.
A mushroom cloud rises from the harbor.
POTUS: We were attacked with an atomic bomb. It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe. The force from which it draws its power has been loosed against the Hawaiian Islands, causing severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost.
The Shokaku class carriers launch Nakajima Kikka (Orange Blossom) jet fighter squadrons-- rocket-assisted takeoff units accelerate the Kikka to takeoff speed-- to escort the LSTs and landing crafts approaching the harbor.
POTUS: Before 1939, it was the accepted belief of scientists that it was theoretically possible to release atomic energy. But no one knew any practical method of doing it-- no one on earth, that is.
The LSTs lower their ramps to unload T-34-85 medium tanks, which drive onto the beach. Vipers-- Cobra soldiers whose DNA was recombined to let them resist the effects of NBC weapons-- storm Hickam Field, shooting, stabbing, and killing the surviving US soldiers there. The Viper captain plants Cobra's standard-- a black flag with a silver cobra above silver thunderbolts-- in the control tower's ruins. Flashback ends.
POTUS: It has never been the policy of this government to withhold from the world scientific knowledge. But as the 1938 broadcast of 'The War of the Worlds' proves, divulging the existence of alien life forms to an unprepared public can cause mass panic and confusion. But now, this secret can no longer be kept.
Audience members face each other, confused.
POTUS: Mr. Bumblebee, please introduce yourself.
Bumblebee-- the WLA-- transforms and shyly waves at the audience.
BUMBLEBEE: Uh, hello.
The audience members rise up in shock and surprise. The MPs guarding the building instinctively reach for their M1911A1 .45 ACP (11.43 mm) pistols, even though they were informed of Bumblebee's identity.
AUDIENCE: Ahhhh!
Several audience members run to the door in panic, the MPs stop them.
BUMBLEBEE: W-wait! I come in peace!
POTUS: Mr. Bumblebee is an Autobot, a member of a race of robots from the planet Cybertron. He is an ally in our war against the Cobra menace.
BUMBLEBEE: We were fighting a civil war against the Decepticons, a rival faction. We left Cybertron in search of resources for our war effort. The Decepticons attacked our ship as it entered this star system, and we crashed on this planet. Now Cobra's a Decepticon ally, and enemies of us both.
POTUS: As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us. Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbound determination of our people, with the technological strength of Autobot allies, we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.

Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

TEXT: Summer, 1947. The Kuril Islands in the North Pacific.
Midnight. Satchel charges are taped to a geothermal power plant's roof beams. The charges explode, collapsing the roof and destroying the power plant.
TEXT: The Terrordome-- Cobra Headquarters.
Regular lights extinguish in the Terrordome command center; red emergency lights illuminate Cobra lieutenants at their computer consoles; an armored samurai stands in the shadows behind them.
COBRA LT 1: We've lost main power.
COBRA LT 2: Power plant guard post is not responding.
COBRA LT 3: Perimeter guards report an explosion at the power plant, cause unknown. Plant is on fire, damage is severe.
Serpentor-- the samurai-- steps out of the shadows. His armor is red and gold; his facemask makes him resemble a biting cobra. Thunderbolts form a "V" on his breastplate-- Starscream's brand, which distinguishes Destroyers from Decepticons.
TEXT: Serpentor-- Cobra Emperor.
SERPENTOR: Deploy the relief force and have them escort the firefighters. This I command!
COBRA LT 2: Yes, Your Majesty.
An upgraded Starscream stands behind the officers, smiling.
TEXT: Starscream-- Destroyer Commander (rank: 10), former Decepticon Air Commander.
STARSCREAM: So it's begun.
A monitor unfolds from a panel on his left forearm; he contacts Skywarp.
STARSCREAM: Skywarp, prepare for battle.
SKYWARP: Yes, Master.
Two BMD-1P airborne IFVs escort two fire trucks to the power plant. Kenki (sword's breath)-- psychokinetic energy conducted through a sword-- shatters the front 's armor, detonates its onboard ammo, and transforms it into a fireball. The rear IFV opens its rear doors; four Vipers dismount before kenki destroys it. The fire trucks are trapped between the burning IFVs; the firefighters dismount the trucks and run for their lives.
FIREFIGHTERS: Ahhhh!
The Vipers' infrared vision lets them see Snake Eyes hidden beside two dead Vipers at the guard post. They fire AKMS 7.62 mm rifles and a RPK-S 7.62 mm machine gun at the ninja, who parries the bullets.
Snake Eyes uses his lightfoot technique to glide sideways, out of the line of fire. He slashes horizontally, projecting kenki to blast the four Vipers in half.
TEXT: Snake Eyes-- real name unknown. Master, Arashikage (Storm Shadow) Ninja Clan. Sergeant Major (E9), US Army.
A Viper, his body bisected at the waist, uses his left hand drag himself towards the ninja, ignoring the blood dripping behind him.
Snake Eyes raises his katana (long sword) to slash.
VIPER: Hiss!
The Viper's mouth opens to reveal sharp teeth and a forked tongue; his right hand aims an AKMS at the ninja. Snake Eyes suddenly looks rearwards, and somersaults; a laser beam passes through the spot where the ninja stood, vaporizing the Viper. Snake Eyes spins in midair, slashes, and projects kenki at an invisible target, disrupting its active camouflage.
LASERBEAK: Shriek!
Snake Eyes lands, aiming the sword point at the target-- a black ASU-85 airborne assault gun.
SNAKE EYES: Hiss!
The ASU-85 transforms into a robot condor-- Laserbeak.
TEXT: Laserbeak-- Destroyer reconnaissance specialist.
LASERBEAK: My brothers are all destroyed; Rumble by Grimlock's teeth, Buzzsaw by Optimus' laser, Frenzy by Prowl's laser, and Ravage by your sword. Grimlock's too strong for me to take revenge on him; Optimus and Prowl are destroyed and beyond my vengeance; but you're not. Die!
He shoots at Snake Eyes, who jumps over the beam. His jet engines launch him into the air; his talons reach for the ninja.
Snake Eyes spins in midair, dodges the talons, and cuts a hole in Laserbeak's breastplate.
LASERBEAK: Shrieeeek!
He performs an Immelmann-- he climbs, does half a loop, and then half a roll-- to fly in the opposite direction; he doesn't notice the grenade stuck in the hole in his breastplate. The grenade explodes, igniting him; he crashes in front of Snake Eyes.
LASERBEAK: Noooo! My vengeance...!
Snake Eyes beheads him; the ninja's goggles reflect flames from Laserbeak's burning frame. Jinx and Kamakura use their lightfoot technique to glide to Snake Eyes, their commander. Jinx wears goggles, like Snake Eyes.
TEXT: Jinx-- real name unknown. Journeyman, Arashikage Ninja Clan. Sergeant (E5), US Army.
TEXT: Kamakura-- real name unknown. Apprentice, Arashikage Ninja Clan. Corporal (E4), US Army.
KAMAKURA: Silent Master--
SNAKE EYES (TELEPATHICALLY): (Have you completed your mission?)

SETTING: The North Pacific.
A USN-Royal Navy-Free French Forces allied fleet-- including two Enterprise class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, four Iowa class battleship-carriers, two Alaska class guided missile cruisers, six Iwo Jima class amphibious assault ships, two Audacious class carriers, the battleship HMS Vanguard, the carrier FS Clemenceau, and the battleship FS Richelieu-- sails towards the Terrordome. The Aerialbots stand behind the carrier bridges, ready for battle.
Keelhaul stands in the bridge of the USS Flagg, an Enterprise class carrier. He uses NVG to see the Terrordome.
TEXT: Keelhaul-- Colby, Everett P. Admiral (O10), US Navy.
KEELHAUL: Stay sharp! Intel may say the sea's too shallow for sub ops, but even they make mistakes!
Shipwreck stands in front of a radar screen, now filled with blips. He turns to Keelhaul.
TEXT: Shipwreck-- Delgado, Hector X. Master Chief Petty Officer (E9), US Navy.
SHIPWRECK: Sir, bandits spotted at... Oh my God!
Keelhaul faces the screen, watching countless Cobra planes-- Sukhoi Su-17 Fitter, Mikoyan MiG-21 Fishbed, and MiG-23 Flogger fighters, Myasishchev M-4 Bison and Tupolev Tu-16 Badger bombers-- approach. He smiles.
KEELHAUL: Bring it on.
He puts on a radio headset.
KEELHAUL: Silverbolt, Cobra's committed several hundred planes to an alpha strike, approach vectors...
SILVERBOLT (RADIO): I see them. Take cover.
Silverbolt rockets away from the Flagg and transforms into a Convair B-58B Hustler bomber. His MB-1C weapons pod-- a disguised rifle mounted between two AIM-47 long-range AAM launch tubes-- uses conventional and nuclear shells for the M65 280 mm field gun.
TEXT: Silverbolt-- Aerialbot Commander (rank:
.
SILVERBOLT: Aerialbots, defend the fleet!
Air Raid transforms into an Avro CF-105 Arrow fighter.
TEXT: Air Raid-- Aerialbot warrior.
AIR RAID: Let's rock!
Skydive transforms into a BAC TSR.2 bomber.
TEXT: Skydive-- Aerialbot strategist.
SKYDIVE: Analyzing bandit flight patterns...
Slingshot transforms into an EWR VJ-101 C VTOL fighter. His external fuel tanks-- disguised pistols-- use shells for the M28 and M29 recoilless rifles, including the M388 Davy Crockett tactical nuclear weapon.
TEXT: Slingshot-- Aerialbot fire support specialist.
SLINGSHOT: I'll show them!
Fireflight transforms into a North American F-107A fighter.
TEXT: Fireflight-- Aerialbot reconnaissance specialist.
FIREFLIGHT: Ready to live dangerously, Cobra?
The Aerialbots split up to engage the Cobra planes. Silverbolt aims his rifle at a Bison; electromagnets on his cannon barrels fire a 550 lb (249 kg) HE shell at hypersonic speed. His target transforms into a fireball; burning debris hits and destroys three other bombers.
The Bison gunners fire 23 mm cannons at the B-58B, but he's out of range; the shells fall short. Silverbolt shoots again, destroying three more bombers. The Bison pilots panic and break formation, trying to evade the shells; two bombers crash into each other and transform into fireballs.
Air Raid flies towards the MiG-23s, whose pilots fire R-23 medium-range AAMs and R-60 short-range AAMs at him. He rolls to dodge the AAMs.
AIR RAID: This is too easy.
Two MiG-23s fire their 23 mm cannons at him. Air Raid transforms, detaches his radome-- a disguised power saber guard-- to extend the retractable blade and activates the cutting mechanism. The blade burns red as he parries the shells; then he slashes the fighters as they fly past, transforming them into fireballs. He flies around the MiG-23s like a stinging bee, destroying them one by one.
AIR RAID: I hope Starscream will be more of a challenge.
Slingshot's pistol fires a HE shell in the middle of a Tu-16 formation; it explodes, throwing shrapnel to destroy two bombers. Two repeated attacks destroy three Tu-16s; then he flies in range of the bombers' 23 mm cannons. Two Tu-16s shoot at Slingshot, who rolls to dodge the shells and dives between the bombers; the gunners shoot down each other's bombers.
SLINGSHOT: And I'm just getting started!
Fireflight flies towards the MiG-21s, which fire a dozen R-60s at him. He lets the AAMs track him as he climbs, and dives towards the fighters. The MiG-21 pilots roll or dive to avoid a midair collision. Fireflight pursues the maneuvering fighters; the tracking AAMs are guided towards the MiG-21s, hitting and destroying a dozen.
A MiG-21 pilot panics and ejects.
FIREFLIGHT: If you can't stand the heat, get out of the steel mill!
Skydive fires four AIM-9 Sidewinder short-range AAMs at four Su-17s, destroying them.
SKYDIVE: The Cobra aircraft aren't equipped with anti-ship missiles. Either previous battles and attacks against Cobra munitions plants have depleted their stores, or...
Blastoff-- a MiG-27M fighter, his claymore (great sword) attached to his nose cone-- rockets out of the sea to impale the TSR.2 upon his blade.
SKYDIVE: Yikes!
He rolls, narrowly dodging the attack.
TEXT: Blastoff-- Combaticon warrior.
BLASTOFF: They're decoys!
He transforms, punches Skydive's underside, and fires the 30 mm Gatling gun-- a disguised laser-- mounted in his right arm.
SKYDIVE: Ahhhh!
He tumbles out of control towards the sea.
FIREFLIGHT: Skydive!
He dives to help Skydive. A laser beam boils the seawater, creating a pillar of steam as it reaches for the Aerialbot. Fireflight rolls to dodge the beam, and sees Brawl-- an Objekt 277 heavy tank-- moving underwater.
FIREFLIGHT: Combaticons!
He fires an AGM-12 Bullpup. Brawl's 130 mm cannon-- a disguised laser-- fires, detonating the AGM in midair; when the smoke clears, the tank has disappeared.
FIREFLIGHT: Where is he?!
Brawl is in robot mode. His booster rockets launch him above and behind Fireflight; he raises his fist to break the Aerialbot's back.
TEXT: Brawl-- Combaticon shock trooper.
Fireflight rolls and transforms; his hand extends to catch Brawl's fist.
BRAWL: I'm here to destroy you!
He engages Fireflight in hand-to-hand combat.
Silverbolt sees them fight in midair.
SILVERBOLT: Aerialbots, break contact and return to base!
He turns towards the Flagg. Onslaught-- a M-52 Bounder bomber-- climbs vertically in front of him, transforms, and fires a R-40 long-range AAM at Silverbolt. The B-58B rolls to dodge the AAM, but Onslaught remote detonates it, blowing Silverbolt out of control.
SILVERBOLT: Argh!
TEXT: Onslaught-- Combaticon Commander (rank:.
ONSLAUGHT: Your bases have been destroyed!
He dives after Silverbolt, determined to kill his enemy.
SLINGSHOT: Boss!
He flies towards Onslaught, and shoots twice. The shells explode in midair, intercepted by 23 mm cannons; more 23 mm shells reach from the sea, towards the VJ-101 C.
Slingshot dives under the shells, tracking them to Swindle-- a ZSU-23-4M Shilka air defense vehicle-- underwater. He shoots at Swindle, who intercepts the HE shell, disappearing behind the resulting fireball.
Silverbolt is in robot mode; his left hand grips Onslaught's rifle-- a missile launcher with a M-61 cruise missile launch tube between two R-40 launch tubes-- to stop the Combaticon from shooting as they engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Slingshot accelerates, determined to help his commander. Swindle's booster rockets launch him above and behind the VJ-101 C; he aims his pistols downwards to rain 23 mm shells on Slingshot.
TEXT: Swindle-- Combaticon armorer.
SWINDLE: When you deal with me, you pay the price!
Slingshot rolls to dodge the shells, transforms, and shoots back.
Vortex-- a Mil Mi-35M Hind attack helicopter-- fires 80 mm rockets at Air Raid. The Aerialbot fires two AIM-7B Sparrow II medium-range AAMs, which explode in midair and blow the 80 rockets off course. He fires two more AAMs; the Hind's 23 mm cannon fires, detonating the AAMs in midair.
Air Raid lunges through the smoke. Vortex transforms; his hands catch the blade and stop the sword point a meter from his head. Air Raid smiles.
AIR RAID: What kept you?
TEXT: Vortex-- Combaticon military intelligence specialist.
VORTEX: The winds...
His main rotor spins to generate category F6 winds (wind speed: 513 to 610 km/h).
AIR RAID: Ahhhh!
He loses his grip on the sword and is blown away.
VORTEX: They don't blow in your favor.
He throws the sword at Air Raid's chest. Air Raid catches the sword before it hits, spins it in his hand, and flies sideways to attack Vortex's left side.
In the Flagg's bridge, Keelhaul watches Cobra planes approach the allied fleet as the Aerialbots fight the Combaticons. The Enterprise and Audacious class carriers launch Chance-Vought F8U Crusader and McDonnell F-4 Phantom fighter squadrons to intercept the Cobra planes. He suddenly puts his hand on the headset.
KEELHAUL: They're decoys? Then where will the real attack come from?!
A USN-Royal Navy-Free French Forces allied fleet-- including two Enterprise class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, four Iowa class battleship-carriers, two Alaska class guided missile cruisers, six Iwo Jima class amphibious assault ships, two Audacious class carriers, the battleship HMS Vanguard, the carrier FS Clemenceau, and the battleship FS Richelieu-- sails towards the Terrordome.

Brawl is in robot mode. His booster rockets launch him above and behind Fireflight; he raises his fist to break the Aerialbot's back.
TEXT: Brawl-- Combaticon shock trooper.
Fireflight rolls and transforms; his hand extends to catch Brawl's fist.
BRAWL: I'm here to destroy you!
He engages Fireflight in hand-to-hand combat.
Silverbolt sees them fight in midair.
SILVERBOLT: Aerialbots, break contact and return to base!
He turns towards the Flagg. Onslaught-- a M-52 Bounder bomber-- climbs vertically in front of him, transforms, and fires a R-40 long-range AAM at Silverbolt. The B-58B rolls to dodge the AAM, but Onslaught remote detonates it, blowing Silverbolt out of control.
SILVERBOLT: Argh!
TEXT: Onslaught-- Combaticon Commander (rank:
.ONSLAUGHT: Your bases have been destroyed!
He dives after Silverbolt, determined to kill his enemy.
SLINGSHOT: Boss!
He flies towards Onslaught, and shoots twice. The shells explode in midair, intercepted by 23 mm cannons; more 23 mm shells reach from the sea, towards the VJ-101 C.
Slingshot dives under the shells, tracking them to Swindle-- a ZSU-23-4M Shilka air defense vehicle-- underwater. He shoots at Swindle, who intercepts the HE shell, disappearing behind the resulting fireball.
Silverbolt is in robot mode; his left hand grips Onslaught's rifle-- a missile launcher with a M-61 cruise missile launch tube between two R-40 launch tubes-- to stop the Combaticon from shooting as they engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Slingshot accelerates, determined to help his commander. Swindle's booster rockets launch him above and behind the VJ-101 C; he aims his pistols downwards to rain 23 mm shells on Slingshot.
TEXT: Swindle-- Combaticon armorer.
SWINDLE: When you deal with me, you pay the price!
Slingshot rolls to dodge the shells, transforms, and shoots back.
Vortex-- a Mil Mi-35M Hind attack helicopter-- fires 80 mm rockets at Air Raid. The Aerialbot fires two AIM-7B Sparrow II medium-range AAMs, which explode in midair and blow the 80 rockets off course. He fires two more AAMs; the Hind's 23 mm cannon fires, detonating the AAMs in midair.
Air Raid lunges through the smoke. Vortex transforms; his hands catch the blade and stop the sword point a meter from his head. Air Raid smiles.
AIR RAID: What kept you?
TEXT: Vortex-- Combaticon military intelligence specialist.
VORTEX: The winds...
His main rotor spins to generate category F6 winds (wind speed: 513 to 610 km/h).
AIR RAID: Ahhhh!
He loses his grip on the sword and is blown away.
VORTEX: They don't blow in your favor.
He throws the sword at Air Raid's chest. Air Raid catches the sword before it hits, spins it in his hand, and flies sideways to attack Vortex's left side.
In the Flagg's bridge, Keelhaul watches Cobra planes approach the allied fleet as the Aerialbots fight the Combaticons. The Enterprise and Audacious class carriers launch Chance-Vought F8U Crusader and McDonnell F-4 Phantom fighter squadrons to intercept the Cobra planes. He suddenly puts his hand on the headset.
KEELHAUL: They're decoys? Then where will the real attack come from?!

Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

Skywarp-- an active camouflage-equipped MiG-25PD Foxbat fighter-- leads 20 Night Ravens-- active camouflage-equipped Tu-22K Blinder bombers-- towards the allied fleet.
SKYWARP: Night Ravens, attack!
The Ravens fire Kh-22 ASMs at the carriers and amphibious assault ships.
Keelhaul sees the approaching missiles.
KEELHAUL: Incoming, two o'clock!
Omega Supreme-- a gray Iowa class battleship-carrier-- sails beside the Flagg to shield her. His 5 inch (127 mm) guns intercept six ASMs; each starboard Phalanx 20 mm close-in weapons system intercepts three ASMs; then four ASMs explode harmlessly upon his force field.
An Alaska class cruiser bow vertical launching system fires eight Standard missiles, which intercept two ASMs but misses two others.
An Enterprise class carrier and an amphibious assault ship are hit. Seamen panic, tear off their burning clothes, and dive into the sea.
SEAMEN: Ahhhh!
KEELHAUL (RADIO): Where in hell did those missiles come from?!
Radiation from Omega's powerful radar disrupts the Cobra planes' active camouflage, revealing the Ravens and Skywarp.
SKYWARP: Ah!
OMEGA: Enemy flyers detected.
Omega's 16 inch (406 mm) guns fire Martlet 3B rockets at the Ravens, destroying nine.
Skywarp transforms into a black robot with a blue skull and crossed sabers painted behind the fighter cockpit, detaches the leading edges of his wings-- burning blue power sabers-- and parries a rocket.
SKYWARP: Night Ravens, retreat!
The surviving Ravens rocket away from the fleet and become invisible again.
Skywarp crosses his swords in front of his chest, serving as rear guard; then he transforms, rockets away, and becomes invisible again.
A M163 Machbet (Racket) air defense vehicle drives on an amphibious assault ship flight deck as US military servicemen to step out of his way. He aims his 20 mm Gatling gun and FIM-92 Stinger SAM launchers at the retreating Ravens.
SLAG: Shock! Out of range!
The Machbet's turret turns, seeking other targets. He drives to the ship's stern and transforms into a robot Triceratops-- Slag, whose jaws open in surprise.
TEXT: Slag-- Dinobot shock trooper.
SLAG: Enemy ships detected!
A Cobra fleet-- including three Yamato class battleships, four Ise class battleship-carriers, and three Stalingrad class battlecruisers-- sails west to attack on the allied fleet's right flank. The battleship-carriers launch Su-15D Flagon fighters armed with Kh-23 AGMs-- three center fuselage-mounted lift-jets give the Flagons short takeoff and landing ability.
Three Iowa class battleship-carriers launch 36 Hawker Siddeley Sea Harrier FRS.1 VTOL fighters to attack the Cobra fleet; the Clemenceau launches a SEPECAT Jaguar M fighter squadron to intercept the Flagons.
Six Harriers-- four Martel-armed escorted by two Sidewinder-armed-- attack each battleship and three of the battleship-carriers. Trypticon-- a black Yamato class battleship-- rises from the sea as he accelerates, revealing swept wings and four rocket engines that let him fly at supersonic speeds. Six Sea Harriers fire ASMs at the battleship, whose remote controlled 25 mm gun turrets intercepts four ASMs; three detonate upon his force field.
SEA HARRIER PILOT: What the...?
Trypticon's 46 cm guns fire two sankaidan (incendiary shrapnel) shells at the fighters, destroying three; the others climb or roll to dodge the shrapnel. Then the battleship transforms into a robot Giganotosaurus.
TEXT: Trypticon-- Destroyer mobile battle station, ultra warrior.
TRYPTICON: Roarrrr!
SEA HARRIER PILOT: Bloody hell!
The Giganotosaurus' jaws lock around a Jaguar, crushing it; flames and smoke appear between his metal-cutting teeth. The surviving fighters turn around and escape Trypticon's wrath.
Omega rises from the sea as he accelerates, revealing stub wings and four rocket engines. His 16 inch guns fire 2700 lb (1225 kg) armor piercing shells at Trypticon, whose 46 cm guns fire 1460 kg armor piercing shells at the Iowa class battleship-carrier; their force fields make long-range combat harmless to each other. Omega sails within hand-to-hand combat range, transforms into a giant robot, and punches the Giganotosaurus' head.
TRYPTICON: Roarrrr!
TEXT: Omega Supreme-- Autobot mobile battle station, ultra warrior.

SETTING: Off the Kuril Islands' east coast.
Onslaught fires two R-40s. Silverbolt somersaults backwards to dodge the AAMs.
SILVERBOLT: Slingshot! Airburst, nuclear!
SLINGSHOT: Airburst, nuclear.
He rockets into the sky. Swindle pursues him; then Slingshot fires a Davy Crockett. The Combaticon rolls to dodge the 0.25 kiloton tactical nuclear weapon, but its midair detonation blows him out of control.
SWINDLE: Whoa!
The Aerialbots use the distraction to break contact and rally beside Silverbolt.
SILVERBOLT: Aerialbots, unite and form Superion!
The Combaticons rally beside Onslaught.
ONSLAUGHT: Combaticons, unite and form Bruticus!
Silverbolt forms the torso, Fireflight and Slingshot form the left and right arms, Air Raid and Skydive form the left and right legs. Fireflight's laser rifle and Skydive's Martel ASM launchers detach from their wings, combine with Slingshot's pistols and Silverbolt's rifle and AAM launchers, and form Superion's superweapon-- Thunderer. Air Raid's saber forms Thunderer's bayonet.
Onslaught forms the torso, Vortex and Blastoff form the left and right arms, Brawl and Swindle form the left and right legs. Swindle and Brawl's cannons detach from their turrets as Vortex's 9M114 Shturm (Storm) ATGM launchers detach from his wings; the weapons combine with Onslaught's rifle to form the Ultimate Weapon. Blastoff's sword becomes a burning red power dagger.
TEXT: Superion-- Autobot super warrior.
Thunderer targets Bruticus, ready to fire another atomic shell.
TEXT: Bruticus-- Destroyer super warrior.
Bruticus rockets towards his enemy; he's now too close for Superion to safely use nuclear weapons.
The super warriors project force fields to defend themselves. Thunderer and the Ultimate Weapon rain missiles, shells, and laser beams as Superion and Bruticus charge within hand-to-hand combat range. Their blades stab, slash, and parry; then Thunderer butt strokes Bruticus, stunning him.
BRUTICUS: Roarrrr!
Superion throws his enemy into the sea, rockets into the sky, and prepares to fire an atomic shell; he's now out of the blast radius. Two Kaiten Type 4 manned torpedoes fly out of the sea, towards his head. The battle weakened the force field; it defends Superion from the first Kaiten, but the second one's 1550 kg warhead stuns him.
SUPERION: Argh!

SETTING: The North Pacific.
A gray M109A6 Paladin self-propelled howitzer is parked on an amphibious assault ship flight deck.
GRIMLOCK (RADIO): Kaiten?
The Paladin drives to the bow, transforms into a robot Tyrannosaurus-- Grimlock-- and looks down.
TEXT: Grimlock-- Autobot Commander on Earth, Dinobot Commander (rank:.
GRIMLOCK: Kaiteeeen!
His 155 mm howitzer-- a disguised heavy plasma cannon, reverse-engineered from Megatron's fusion cannon-- fires. The plasma beam divides the seawater, like Moses; the heat detonates five Kaiten warheads.
SEAMEN: Kaiten!
TEXT: Kaiten (Change Heaven)-- suicide attack submarines.
Allied seamen use all available weapons to destroy the Kaiten before they can attack. Two Kaiten succeed, blasting a destroyer and a cruiser in half. Two destroyers circle the wreckages to rescue survivors; their crewmen fire G3 7.62 mm rifles, MG3 7.62 mm machine guns, and M79 40 mm grenade launchers to drive away approaching Kaiten, destroying one.
A Kaiten pilot's head slams against the periscope as bullets burst the rear air tank and pierce the engine compartment, disabling the torpedo.
KAITEN PILOT: Ah!
He touches his forehead to see blood on his hand.
KAITEN PILOT: Gasp!
His hands claw at the hatch, trying to escape as the Kaiten sinks.
KAITEN PILOT: Motherrrr!

SETTING: The Terrordome.
In the motor pool, Vipers scramble aboard BMD-1Ps and ASU-85s, start the engines, and drive the vehicles towards the gate. An explosion suddenly collapses the gateway, crushing an ASU-85 and preventing the other vehicles from exiting. The Vipers exit the vehicles and claw at the debris to clear a path
VIPERS: Hiss!
They sense the enemy's presence, turn around, and fire their weapons.
Snake Eyes uses his lightfoot technique to glide around the Vipers. There seems to be 20 ninja, each one parrying bullets or cutting grenades in half to disarm them, before his sword beheads the enemy. Then he shakes the blood off of the blade, and glides to the stairs; headless bodies lie behind him, painting the floor red.
In the command center, Serpentor grips the hilt of his katana, and looks rearward.
SERPENTOR: He's here.
He runs out the door without asking for Starscream's permission.

TEXT: The Evilution laboratory.
Kenki blows open the armored doors.
Two guards draw Makarov 9 mm pistols, but see shuriken stuck in the ejection ports; the pistols will explode if they squeeze the trigger. Snake Eyes enters the lab, uses his finger to hit pressure points on the guards' necks, and knocks them unconscious.
40 nutrient tanks contain Vipers in induced comas as their DNA is being recombined. Snake Eyes glides past them, towards an armored door labeled, "MINDBENDER". The ninja projects kenki to blow open the door.
Mindbender lies in a nutrient tank. Evilution has mutated his body; seven eyes form a "V" on his face, scales cover his skin, his legs have atrophied, and a tail touches the tank bottom.
TEXT: DOCTOR MINDBENDER-- real name unknown. Colonel (O6), Waffen-SS (retired). Director, Evilution Program-- research to create super soldiers by recombining human and animal DNA.
Snake Eyes lowers his sword; he no longer wants to kill Mindbender. He suddenly looks back, and jumps; kenki is projected past the spot where the ninja stood, shattering the nutrient tank and killing Mindbender.
Snake Eyes aims the sword point at his enemy-- Serpentor, whose hands grip a katana and wakizashi (short sword).
SNAKE EYES: (Why?)
SERPENTOR: He thought his mind was superhuman, and wanted his body to be so. He tested new "Venom" on himself, and paid for his own miscalculations. Now he's free from further pain... soon, so will you.
He slashes with the long and short swords to project kenki; Snake Eyes projects kenki to counterattack.
Outside, Cobra soldiers ride BMP-1P IFVs and T-10M heavy tanks towards the beach. Kenki blasts a hole in the Terrordome armor.
COBRA SOLDIER: What was that?!
COBRA SERGEANT: Looks like the Evilution lab just exploded. Good riddance; I never liked those damn mutants.

SETTING: The beachhead.
TEXT: GI Joe-- a special operations force with the mission of protecting the US from threats which regular military forces are unable to handle.
Flint, wearing NVG, spins up the rotors of a Tomahawk-- a Boeing MH-47E Chinook special operations helicopter with ACH-47A armor, two stub wing mounted-20 mm cannons, and two Hydra 70 rocket pods-- as GI Joe operators scramble onboard.
TEXT: Flint-- Faireborne, Dashiell R. Chief Warrant Officer 4 (CW4), US Army.
FLINT: Go Joe!
The amphibious assault ships launch Tomahawks, Bell AH-1J Cobra attack helicopters, and UH-1N Huey utility helicopters toward the beachhead. Booster rockets launch Grimlock, Slag, and Sledgehammer-- a robot armed with a on his right collarbone-mounted 280 mm cannon and two forearm-mounted M2E50 .50 BMG (12.7 mm) machine guns-- over the helicopters.
AH-1J PILOT: Whoa!
The Dinobots land on the beach. Grimlock attacks V-75 SAM launchers as Slag attacks ZSU-57-2 and ZSU-23-4 air defense vehicles. Two RPGs fly towards the Tyrannosaurus, whose remote controlled M2E50 intercepts the rockets. Grimlock and Slag face Cobra soldiers armed with RPG-7 launchers. Each Dinobot fires two flamethrowers mounted in their noses, covering the soldiers in blue flames.
COBRA SOLDIERS: Ahhhh!

Radar operators abandon their posts as Sledgehammer attacks the SAM control and early warning radar stations.
130 mm and 203 mm HE shells rain on the Dinobots, whose Gatling gun and machine guns defend them; the Cobra radar operators have no such defense.

RADAR OPERATOR 3: Serpentor has punished us for abandoning our posts!
Grimlock turns to the hill between him and the enemy howitzers.
GRIMLOCK: Sledgehammer, counter-battery fire, HE!
SLEDGEHAMMER: Counter-battery fire, HE! Okay, Boss!
Sledgehammer's arms detach and transform into transport tractors; his legs fold against his torso, which transforms into a M65 field gun.
TEXT: Sledgehammer-- Dinobot heavy artillery.
The M65 fires; the HE shells destroy Cobra 130 mm and 203 mm howitzers behind the hill. Some Cobra artillerymen stay at their posts and shoot back, only to die there; others scramble aboard trucks, abandoning the towed artillery as they drive away.
A Cobra artilleryman runs after a truck as it drives away.
ARTILLERYMAN: No, wait...!
His comrades reach down to pull him aboard the truck; then a HE shell destroys the truck, blowing the artilleryman off his feet.

ARTILLERYMAN: Damn.
Allied LSTs lower their ramps to unload M60 Magach (Chariot of War Heroes), Chieftain, and Leopard 1A1 MBTs, M113 and FV 432 APCs, and Marder 1A3 IFVs. A Bachem Ba-349 Natter (Viper) rocket fighter flies overhead and fires 24 Henschel Hs-217 Föhn 73 mm rockets; an LST explodes, throwing dozens of burning bodies-- Allied servicemen-- into the air.
Duke runs to a stunned soldier, grabs his load-bearing vest, throws the soldier into a shell crater, and jumps down beside him.

The M113, FV 432, and Marder commanders fire .50 BMG and 7.62 mm machine guns, covering the dismounting soldiers.
A Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka (Cherry Blossom) rocket plane flies overhead. It deploys two retractable 9K113 ATGM launch tubes from its underside to attack a Marder, destroying it and killing everyone inside.
Duke shoulders a Stinger launcher and fires a SAM at the Ohka, which transforms into a robot. The robot's forearm knocks the Stinger to its side; the SAM explodes harmlessly behind it.

Duke uses a mirror to look out of the crater without exposing himself to enemy fire. He sees Roadblock's EATR, and jumps out of the crater.
DUKE: I'm okay, now let's kick the Cobra's tail!
The upgraded Bumblebee lands, fires his laser pistols, and destroys two BATs.

SCARLETT: Go Joe!
The Natter rolls to dodge the 20 mm shells, and transforms into a robot with 73 mm rocket launchers mounted in its chest. Its HUD reads, "TARGET: EXOSKELETON-- THREAT LEVEL: HIGH" as 30 mm cannons mounted in its forearms fire at the EATR.
Scarlett jettisons the parachute, uses the EATR booster rockets to fly sideways, and dodges the 30 mm shells.

The amphibious assault ships launch Tomahawks, Bell AH-1J Cobra attack helicopters, and UH-1N Huey utility helicopters toward the beachhead. Booster rockets launch Grimlock, Slag, and Sledgehammer-- a robot armed with a on his right collarbone-mounted 280 mm cannon and two forearm-mounted M2E50 .50 BMG (12.7 mm) machine guns-- over the helicopters.
AH-1J PILOT: Whoa!
The Dinobots land on the beach. Grimlock attacks V-75 SAM launchers as Slag attacks ZSU-57-2 and ZSU-23-4 air defense vehicles. Two RPGs fly towards the Tyrannosaurus, whose remote controlled M2E50 intercepts the rockets. Grimlock and Slag face Cobra soldiers armed with RPG-7 launchers. Each Dinobot fires two flamethrowers mounted in their noses, covering the soldiers in blue flames.
COBRA SOLDIERS: Ahhhh!

Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

SETTING: The Kaiten pen.
Kaiten are docked in a cave whose reinforced roof protects them from bombardment. Cobra machinists fuel the torpedoes and service their engines. Two Kaiten dive toward the cave's underwater mouth.
The two torpedoes suddenly fly backwards into the air, followed by Superion. The warheads detonate upon the roof; falling debris detonates seven more warheads, destroying the pen. A machinist is thrown into the water.
MACHINIST: Ahhhh! Help! Help!
His hands claw at the water as he drowns.
Bruticus appears at the cave mouth, preparing to fire a cruise missile and trap his enemy inside. Superion suddenly dives and grabs Bruticus' leg.
BRUTICUS: Roarrrr!
Superion pulls him into the cave, swings him around, and slams his head against a wall. Thunderer targets Bruticus' head, but the enemy's palm strikes the superweapon barrel as it fires. The 15 kiloton atomic shell detonates upon the wall, collapsing the cave and burying them both.

SETTING: The beachhead.
The explosion causes an earthquake, throwing soldiers and BATs off their feet. Bumblebee tips over and slides on the ground.
BUMBLEBEE: Whoa!
The streamliner transforms to stop sliding, jumps, and lands on his feet.
DUKE: What the hell...?
Overkill dives, grabs him, and squeezes to make him drop his Stinger launcher.
DUKE: Ahhhh!
ROADBLOCK: Duuuuke!
He targets Overkill. The hovering BAT command unit holds Duke in front of itself, using the Joe as a shield.
OVERKILL: Jettison your exoskeleton and surrender, or I will execute your comrade.
DUKE: Shoot him... Argh!
Another earthquake throws Roadblock off his feet.
ROADBLOCK: Whoa!
Superion, his antennas bent and broken and his visor cracked over his right optic, rises from the ground behind Overkill. The BAT command unit turns around and fires 24 rockets; the attack scorches the super warrior's armor. Thunderer's bayonet flashes in front of Overkill's optics, cutting the BAT command unit in half.
Overkill releases Duke, who falls towards the ground.
DUKE: Gasp!
Roadblock rockets forward and catches him.
ROADBLOCK: Are you okay?
DUKE: Yes... Ah!
ROADBLOCK: Mediiiic!
He gently places Duke on the ground. A Joe medic rushes to Duke's side, and begins examining the wounds.
DUKE: Argh!
MEDIC: He broke three ribs, but I'm not finding any internal injuries. He'll be fine.
Bumblebee approaches Superion.
BUMBLEBEE: Superion, are you okay?
SUPERION: I am functional. I will complete my mission.
He salvages Overkill's fuel tanks, drinks the fuel inside, crushes the empty tanks, and rockets towards the Terrordome.
An invisible Skywarp lies in front of the Terrordome to aim R-40s at Superion's head.
TEXT: Skywarp-- Destroyer assassin.
SKYWARP: Strike where you detect a fuel leak, and minor damage will become major. I learned your lessons well, Starscream.
He hears an approaching artillery shell whistle, deactivates his active camouflage to transform, and teleports to dodge the attack.
SKYWARP: Ha!
He teleports above a M65 field gun hidden by camouflage netting, and fires the R-40s. A M2E50 intercepts two AAMs, but two detonate upon the netting and ignite it.
SLEDGEHAMMER: Grrrr!
Sledgehammer-- the M65-- transforms and throws away the burning netting.
SLEDGEHAMMER: You hit hard, but Sledgehammer hit harder!
Skywarp detaches the leading edges of his wings-- burning blue power sabers-- and lunges.
SKYWARP: Not hard enough!
A bush-- Grimlock hidden by camouflage netting-- lunges to lock his jaws around Skywarp's sword arm.

SETTING: The Terrordome.
Kenki blasts a hole in the roof; Snake Eyes jumps through the hole and lands on the roof. Cuts cover his flak vest.
SNAKE EYES: (He's strong.)
Kenki blasts a second hole; Serpentor jumps through the hole and projects kenki at the ninja.
SERPENTOR: Stronger than you!
Snake Eyes jumps to dodge the attack. The samurai lunges, the sword points reaching for the ninja's throat and chest. Snake Eyes turns sideways to hide his left hand; his right hand raises the sword and slashes. Serpentor's katana slashes to counter Snake Eyes' kenki; his wakizashi reaches for the ninja's throat. Snake Eyes somersaults to dodge the attack; tools fall from his LBV.
Serpentor lunges; he doesn't see a fallen grenade and tape rise from the roof. He slashes; Snake Eyes spins in midair to dodge the kenki as he psychokinetically tapes the grenade to Serpentor's backplate.
Serpentor kicks Snake Eyes' chest, slamming him against the roof. He raises his katana to slash; then the grenade explodes, shatters his backplate, and throws him into the air.
SERPENTOR: Howl!
Snake Eyes falls backwards; when Serpentor is above him, he kicks, throwing the samurai against a radar antenna.
In the command center, Starscream stares at a monitor, watching US Army attack helicopters engage Cobra Mi-17 Hip helicopters to stop them from attacking Allied units or inserting reinforcements. Static suddenly clouds the monitors.
COBRA LT 1: What happened?!
Cobra lieutenants type furiously, trying to discover what caused the malfunction.
COBRA LT 2: The early warning radar is down!
Serpentor suddenly crashes through the ceiling. Snake Eyes stands on him; the ninja's sword is thrust into the samurai's back, pinning him to the command center floor.
SERPENTOR: Cough!
He coughs blood.
Starscream detaches the leading edges of his wings-- burning red power sabers-- and slashes horizontally. Snake Eyes jumps to dodge the attack, leaving behind his sword; kenki is projected over Serpentor's body, knocking him unconscious. Starscream slashes vertically to project kenki. Snake Eyes spins in midair to dodge the attack, lands, and draws a bayonet. Starscream smiles.
STARSCREAM: Not bad. I understand why Mindbender called you, "Superman", his greatest creation, but--
The Destroyer psychokinetically lifts Snake Eyes off the floor and squeezes to make him drop the bayonet.
SNAKE EYES: Hiss!
STARSCREAM: Even superhuman strength cannot defeat me. Die!
He projects kenki. Skywarp suddenly crashes through a wall and lands in front of Starscream, shielding Snake Eyes from the attack.
SKYWARP: Argh!
Starscream releases Snake Eyes and turns to the hole. Grimlock enters, followed by Slag and Sledgehammer.
The ninja uses the distraction to psychokinetically pull the sword out of the floor, into his hand.
STARSCREAM: Hello, Grimlock.
GRIMLOCK: Surrender or die!
STARSCREAM: I did well, yes? I was king of the world, accomplishing more in seven years than Megatron did in 7,000,000.
GRIMLOCK: Megatron try to take over world, but we crush him. Now we crush you.
Starscream looks up and smiles.
STARSCREAM: You can never crush a warrior's spark.
He rockets through the hole in the roof, the sword points aimed at the super warrior hovering over the Terrordome. Superion shoots, blasting Starscream to pieces.
SLEDGEHAMMER: Why he do that?
GRIMLOCK: Starscream true warrior, choose death over dishonor.
Snake Eyes projects kenki to blow away three chairs and reveal the Cobra lieutenants cowering under their consoles.
COBRA LT 1: Ah!
COBRA LT 2: We surrender!
COBRA LT 3: I don't want to die, I don't want to die...
Grimlock faces them.

Sunrise. Omega throws his anchors at Trypticon, tying the Giganotosaurus' arms together.
TRYPTICON: Grrrr!
He rains 46 cm shells on Omega, but the Autobot won't release him.
OMEGA: Ha!
He pulls the anchor chains. Trypticon loses his footing and falls onto the ocean floor.
TRYPTICON: Roarrrr!
Omega straddles him, pinning the Giganotosaurus' to the ocean floor. The Autobot grabs Trypticon's jaws to pull them open.
TRYPTICON: Grrrr!
His 15.5 cm and 25 mm guns fire, scorching Omega's armor. The Autobot ignores the damage and continues pulling to break the Giganotosaurus' jaws. Trypticon collapses onto the ocean floor, in stasis lock.
GRIMLOCK (RADIO): Starscream is dead! All Cobras, jettison weapons, exit vehicles, and surrender! Starscream is dead! All Cobras, jettison weapons...!
Omega smiles.
OMEGA: Mission complete.

SETTING: Times Square.
Noontime. A ticker-tape parade is being held in honor of GI Joe and the Transformers. Duke and Flint wave at the crowd as they ride a DUKW amphibious vehicle, followed by Grimlock and Slag in robot mode.
POTUS (RADIO): General Abernathy reported that we have achieved victory against Cobra and their Destroyer masters, and seen the final end of the destructive worldwide conflict, in which we have been engaged since 1940. I received the news with gratitude and thanksgiving that the United States of America, and the entire civilized world, had been spared further damage and sorrow. But we will never forget the damage and sorrow we already endured, the lives forever lost, families forever separated, and homes irreparably destroyed by seven terrible years of war. Therefore, I...
A boy tugs his mother's hand and points at Sledgehammer's gun mode.
BOY: Look, Mommy! A Brontosaurus!
POTUS (RADIO): By virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the United States, proclaim V-C Day as a day of remembrance.
Shipwreck steps onto the sidewalk, grabs a nurse's hand, and passionately kisses her.

Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

TEXT: Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. United States of America.
Skywarp and the Combaticons lie on a lab floor, their chest compartments open to reveal empty spark core chambers. Bumblebee and the Aerialbots march out of the lab, holding the Destroyers' spark cores-- the Transformer heart.
TEXT: Area 51-- detainment unit for captured Decepticons. Reverse-engineering laboratory for Decepticon and Cobra military technology.
USAF security police flank the Autobots as they march down a corridor, towards a vault. The Autobots open the armored door, place the spark cores in the vault, and lock the door.
In a lab, Elita removes Swoop's spark core from a Republic RF-84F Thunderflash reconnaissance plane and installs it in a Republic F-105D Thunderchief fighter. The F-105D transforms into a Dimorphodon, whose mouth opens to reveal metal-cutting teeth.
SWOOP: Shrieeeek! Swoop like new frame! Feel strong and fast!
TEXT: Elita One-- Autobot combat engineer.
ELITA: Good. Now get going, I have lots of work to do.
Cranes lift the RF-84F off the workstation. Elita walks to a console and begins typing. Bumblebee enters the lab.
BUMBLEBEE: Hey, Swoop. I see you've been upgraded. Are you ready to join the Dinobots?
SWOOP: Swoop complete training! Swoop ready to fight!
BUMBLEBEE: Well, don't get too excited and start a war without us, okay?
Swoop exits. Bumblebee approaches Elita as she examines blueprints for a laser pistol.
ELITA: I'm upgrading your laser pistols. By redesigning the resonator, we can increase the beam intensity by 20%.
BUMBLEBEE: The war's over. You don't have to work on weapons now.
ELITA: War is all I've known for 10,000,007 years. What else can I work on?
BUMBLEBEE: Well, your solar panels are famous for their efficiency. The Allies need...
Elita's head lowers in grief.
ELITA: Optimus and I designed and built the Photovoltaic Palace to power a new generation of Transformers, who'd spread the ideals of peace and equality to the entire galaxy. Now that Optimus is gone, I've lost faith in those ideals.
She glances at Bumblebee; her optics burn with rage.
ELITA: The war taught me that peace and equality could only be established and maintained by force of arms-- by warriors and weapons. Now leave.
She faces the monitor and continues typing.
ELITA: I have work to do.
BUMBLEBEE: S-sorry. I'll leave you alone.
He exits the lab. Silverbolt faces Bumblebee in the corridor.
SILVERBOLT: Wars never end. There are always enemies to fight... including our own fears and doubts.
BUMBLEBEE: Then what do you fear?
SILVERBOLT: Defeat and failure.
Silverbolt aims his rifle down the corridor; his HUD reads, "N: STANDBY".
SILVERBOLT: But I can never let my fears interfere with the mission.

TEXT: Decepticon Ministry of Propaganda-- former Autobot Capitol. Iacon, Planet Cybertron.
Morning. Galvatron, disguised as Megatron, stands on a podium to address the Decepticon Army.
TEXT: Galvatron-- Megatron imposter, Decepticon Commander (rank: 10).
GALVATRON: My power is everything; defeat is absurd! We will crush the Autobots and the traitor Shockwave, destroying all obstacles to the conquest of the galaxy! Victory will be ours!
DECEPTICONS: Hail the Mighty Megatron, hail! Your power is everything; defeat is absurd!
Alpha Q and two lesser Quintessons-- cyborgs with four faces beneath a golden skullcap, two muscular arms, and six mechanical tentacles beneath their bodies-- hover in the shadows behind Galvatron, waiting for the rally to end. Galvatron finally turns around and enters the Capitol.
TEXT: Quintessons-- the Master's enforcers.
ALPHA Q-FAMINE: Megatron, seven minutes ago, the rebels attacked Spaceport 101, stole a shuttle, and escaped. We salvaged a memory module from a guard; it confirms the presence of Shockwave, Ultra Magnus, Arcee, and an unidentified Transformer.
GALVATRON: What is their destination?
Alpha Q's head rotates to the Face of Pestilence as he follows Galvatron down a corridor.
ALPHA Q-PESTILENCE: The rebels disabled the transponder; we can only estimate their destination from the shuttle trajectory, which is apparently Sector 12-08-41. We will dispatch Scourge and the Sweeps; they will seek and destroy the rebels.
GALVATRON: Half-measures will not please the Master. Dispatch two Sweeps; have them report the rebels' location and await further orders.
Alpha Q's head rotates to the Face of Death.
ALPHA Q-DEATH: What are your plans?
Galvatron smiles, opens a vault, and enters. Alpha Q follows; the armored door closes behind them.
Trion is bolted to a wall, his chest compartment open to reveal the spark core. Seven cables connected the spark core to a computer console-- an Electrocutioner controller.
Galvatron approaches the controller.
TEXT: Alpha Trion-- Autobot elder, guardian of the key to Vector Sigma.
GALVATRON: Your courage is admirable, but even it has limits. Now you will submit to my power.
TRION: W-w-what do you w-w-want with m-m-me?
GALVATRON: You are a first generation product of Vector Sigma, the sensor through which Primus observes the galaxy; you share the same computation matrix. Your power supply can merge with its frame and reactivate it, so we can control the planetary turbines.
TRION: W-w-what will you d-d-do with the t-t-turbines?
Alpha Q's head rotates to the Face of War.
ALPHA Q-WAR: Once Cybertron's mobility is restored, it will become a cosmic dreadnought, the weapon with which we will seek and destroy all who dare resist the Master's will.
TRION: N-n-never!
GALVATRON: We shall see.
He presses a button to activate the Electrocutioner. Electricity arcs down Trion's restraints; smoke rises from cracks in his body panels.
TRION: Ahhhh!

SETTING: Nellis AFB.
Midnight. A Decepticon shuttle burns red as it enters Earth's atmosphere.
USAF radar stations detect the shuttle and track its descent. In the AFB command center, Hawk stands behind five USAF lieutenants typing furiously in front of computer consoles.
Bumblebee drives to Hawk's side and transforms.
TEXT: Hawk-- Abernathy, Clayton M. General (O10), US Army. GI Joe Commander.
HAWK: Well?
A monitor shows the Decepticon insignia on the shuttle.
BUMBLEBEE: Starscream must have called for reinforcements before his destruction. We must intercept the shuttle!
USAF LT 1: Analyzing bogie trajectory to calculate point of impact... General, it's heading straight for us!
A monitor shows a Nike Zeus missile battery preparing to fire.
USAF LT 2: Zeus batteries are at full alert.
USAF LT 3: Prepare to fire.
USAF LT 4: Bogie is emitting hyperwaves... a transmission?
BUMBLEBEE: It's an Autobot IFF code!
Hawk faces him.
HAWK: What?!
BUMBLEBEE: An identification friend or foe code! Anyways, we cannot shoot them until we investigate!
Hawk turns to the lieutenants.
HAWK: Weapons tight! Alert Rescue Team One, we're sending them out with the Autobots!
USAF LT 5: Yes, Sir.
In the desert, the crashed shuttle launches a probe.
A Kaman HH-43 Huskie rescue helicopter flies towards the shuttle, followed by Bumblebee and Elita-- a pink GM Firebird III turbine-powered car.
HH-43 PILOT: Ahhhh!
The HH-43 swerves to dodge an anticipated attack.
BUMBLEBEE (RADIO): Don't worry; it's just a probe! See, it's harmless!
The HH-43 pilot calms down to fly straight and level.
PROBE: Scanning local life forms for technological adaptation to present environment.
It scans two hangers at the AFB.
The streamliner and the Firebird III stop and transform in front of the shuttle.
BUMBLEBEE: I wonder who's inside?
The shuttle hatch opens. Shockwave flies through the hatch, over Bumblebee and Elita, and lands behind them. The graser cannon mounted in his left forearm targets Elita; the laser pistol in his right hand targets Bumblebee.
BUMBLEBEE, ELITA: Shockwave!
They draw laser pistols and target Shockwave.
MAGNUS: Weapons tight!
Bumblebee turns to the shuttle hatch.
BUMBLEBEE: Ultra Magnus?!
Ultra Magnus exits the shuttle.
TEXT: Ultra Magnus-- Autobot Commander on Cybertron, former Autobot Subcommander (rank: 9).
MAGNUS: Don't worry, Shockwave's on our side.
BUMBLEBEE: What?!
ELITA: Impossible!
Bumblebee lowers his pistols; Elita's pistol still targets Shockwave's head. Shockwave ignores her and lowers his weapons; a violet Cyclops skull, its eye shooting four thunderbolts, has replaced the Decepticon insignia his chest.
TEXT: Shockwave-- former Decepticon Subcommander (rank: 9).
SHOCKWAVE: A Megatron imposter now commands the Decepticon Army. I refused to submit to the imposter's authority, so he accused me of treason and ordered my death. Logic dictates an alliance with the Autobots for now.
ELITA: For now.
Arcee and Wheelie exit the shuttle. Wheelie is a prototype-- a Transformer child.
ARCEE: Elita One!
Elita turns to the shuttle, sees Arcee, and lowers her pistol.
ELITA: Arcee, you're alive!
She runs to Arcee; they put their hands on each other's shoulders.
ELITA: How have you been?
TEXT: Arcee-- Autobot counter-terrorism specialist.
ARCEE: It's terrible! The Decepticons have conquered Iacon and captured Alpha Trion; they now control all of Cybertron!
MAGNUS: We need Optimus; we need the power of the Matrix to light to our darkest hour.
Elita's head lowers in grief.
ELITA: Optimus is gone.
MAGNUS: No!
ELITA: He channeled the power of the Matrix to stop a Decepticon super warrior, which destroyed his frame and darkened the Matrix. Grimlock keeps the now powerless Allspark as a symbol of his authority.
ARCEE: What will we do now?!
Shockwave turns to Elita.
SHOCKWAVE: A heavy graser cannon can provide the necessary light. You will help me design and construct it.
Elita ignores him, faces Wheelie, and smiles.
ELITA: Hello. What's your name?
WHEELIE: I'm Wheelie; you're pretty.
ELITA: Thank you, Wheelie.
ARCEE: He was the last prototype Alpha Trion built before...
Her head lowers in grief.
ELITA: Don't worry, we'll find a way to save him and liberate Iacon.

SETTING: Earth's stratosphere.
Omega rockets west towards Area 51. The battleship-carrier deploys a retractable 16 inch gun turret and four 5 inch gun turrets to protect his underside in flight.
The Dinobots stand in the VTOL hanger; Grimlock faces a hologram projector displaying Magnus, Elita, and Shockwave's image.
GRIMLOCK: Grimlock Autobot Commander on Earth! No challenge Grimlock's authority!
MAGNUS: Fine, I acknowledge you as Autobot Commander on Earth. Now what are we going to do about Megatron?
SHOCKWAVE: He is not Megatron; he is an imposter. Your own records confirm Megatron's death.
MAGNUS: Fine, what are we going to do about the imposter?
GRIMLOCK: We build weapons, build army, build ships. Then we go to Cybertron and crush Decepticons!
MAGNUS: Do you really think the imposter will wait for us to build an army that can challenge his?
GRIMLOCK: Magnus form spec ops force, launch hit-and-run attacks on Decepticon bases, sabotage Decepticon ships to buy time.
MAGNUS: We don't have the means to attack targets on Cybertron.
ELITA: But we will have the means to assassinate the imposter.
Magnus turns to her in surprise.
ELITA: A decapitation strike can buy us time to build our forces.
GRIMLOCK: Ha ha ha! Magnus fear Megatron. Now Elita One braver than Magnus! Ha ha ha!
OMEGA: Warning, unidentified flyers detected. Warning...
SLAG: Slag check them out.
He rides the elevator to the battleship-carrier flight deck, using electromagnets mounted in his feet to avoid being blown off. Air friction disrupts the active camouflage of two planes stalking Omega. Slag sees the insignia on the lead plane; his HUD reads, "TARGET LOCKED-- FIM-92 ARMED".
SLAG (RADIO): Decepticons!
The planes shoot at Slag; the force field deflects the laser beams.
GRIMLOCK: Battle stations!
He shuts off the projector and joins Slag on the flight deck, followed by Sledgehammer. Slag is shooting at a Sweep-- a purple Tu-128M Fiddler fighter-- whose active camouflage system is damaged.
SWEEP 1: Shriek!
Its radome-- disguised jaws-- splits open to reveal metal-cutting teeth.
TEXT: Sweep-- hunter-killer unit.
Grimlock looks left and right, and sees sparks fly from an invisible Sweep.
GRIMLOCK: Target, two o'clock!
Stray shots damaged the Sweep, letting Grimlock see it. The Tyrannosaurus shoots as the Sweep fires two R-4 long-range AAMs; the plasma beam detonates the AAMs in midair before hitting the Sweep.
SWEEP 2: Shrieeeek!
It tumbles out of control.
Grimlock leans over the flight deck, his turret tracking the Sweep falling towards the ground. A graser beam suddenly disrupts the force field, blinding him.
GRIMLOCK: Roarrrr!
SLEDGEHAMMER: Boss!
He shoots at the graser beam's source. The HE shell explodes in midair, damaging a purple Tu-22P electronic warfare plane's active camouflage system.
SCOURGE: Howl!
The Tu-22P's nose cone splits open to reveal metal-cutting teeth. Its inflight refueling probe-- a disguised graser cannon-- targets Sledgehammer.
Omega's airbrakes suddenly deploy; the graser beam barely misses the battleship-carrier bridge.
DINOBOTS: Roarrrr!
Sweep One crashes and explodes upon Omega's force field; Sweep Two transforms into a robot Ceratosaurus, using its frame as an airbrake to avoid crashing.
The Tu-22P transforms into a Ceratosaurus with a skull on its forehead-- Scourge.
TEXT: Scourge-- Sweep command unit.
SCOURGE: Heretic! I will dismantle you and cast your components into the Pit!
Shockwave-- a gray Lockheed F-12B fighter-- fires four AIM-47 AAMs at Scourge, shattering his back armor.
SCOURGE: Howllll!
Shockwave accelerates; Scourge is now in range of his graser cannon. He shoots; Sweep Two flies in front of Shockwave to shield Scourge, and is destroyed.
SCOURGE: Shockwave!
He hears mechanical noises, and turns to see Omega's 16 inch guns targeting him.
SCOURGE: You will not escape the Master's wrath!
He transforms, rockets into the sky, and escapes.
Shockwave transforms and approaches Grimlock, whose optics have recovered.
SHOCKWAVE: Are you functional?
GRIMLOCK: Functional enough to crush new Decepticon! Why you interfere?!
SHOCKWAVE: I had the first shot. Logic dictates using it to defeat the enemy.
GRIMLOCK: Grimlock remember this if Grimlock need to crush you.

ELITA: A decapitation strike can buy us time to build our forces.
GRIMLOCK: Ha ha ha! Magnus fear Megatron. Now Elita One braver than Magnus! Ha ha ha!
OMEGA: Warning, unidentified flyers detected. Warning...
SLAG: Slag check them out.
He rides the elevator to the battleship-carrier flight deck, using electromagnets mounted in his feet to avoid being blown off. Air friction disrupts the active camouflage of two planes stalking Omega. Slag sees the insignia on the lead plane; his HUD reads, "TARGET LOCKED-- FIM-92 ARMED".
SLAG (RADIO): Decepticons!
The planes shoot at Slag; the force field deflects the laser beams.
GRIMLOCK: Battle stations!
He shuts off the projector and joins Slag on the flight deck, followed by Sledgehammer. Slag is shooting at a Sweep-- a purple Tu-128M Fiddler fighter-- whose active camouflage system is damaged.
SWEEP 1: Shriek!
Its radome-- disguised jaws-- splits open to reveal metal-cutting teeth.
TEXT: Sweep-- hunter-killer unit.
Grimlock looks left and right, and sees sparks fly from an invisible Sweep.
GRIMLOCK: Target, two o'clock!
Stray shots damaged the Sweep, letting Grimlock see it. The Tyrannosaurus shoots as the Sweep fires two R-4 long-range AAMs; the plasma beam detonates the AAMs in midair before hitting the Sweep.
SWEEP 2: Shrieeeek!
It tumbles out of control.
Grimlock leans over the flight deck, his turret tracking the Sweep falling towards the ground. A graser beam suddenly disrupts the force field, blinding him.
GRIMLOCK: Roarrrr!
SLEDGEHAMMER: Boss!
He shoots at the graser beam's source. The HE shell explodes in midair, damaging a purple Tu-22P electronic warfare plane's active camouflage system.
SCOURGE: Howl!
The Tu-22P's nose cone splits open to reveal metal-cutting teeth. Its inflight refueling probe-- a disguised graser cannon-- targets Sledgehammer.
Omega's airbrakes suddenly deploy; the graser beam barely misses the battleship-carrier bridge.
DINOBOTS: Roarrrr!
Sweep One crashes and explodes upon Omega's force field; Sweep Two transforms into a robot Ceratosaurus, using its frame as an airbrake to avoid crashing.
The Tu-22P transforms into a Ceratosaurus with a skull on its forehead-- Scourge.
TEXT: Scourge-- Sweep command unit.
SCOURGE: Heretic! I will dismantle you and cast your components into the Pit!
Shockwave-- a gray Lockheed F-12B fighter-- fires four AIM-47 AAMs at Scourge, shattering his back armor.
SCOURGE: Howllll!
Shockwave accelerates; Scourge is now in range of his graser cannon. He shoots; Sweep Two flies in front of Shockwave to shield Scourge, and is destroyed.
SCOURGE: Shockwave!
He hears mechanical noises, and turns to see Omega's 16 inch guns targeting him.
SCOURGE: You will not escape the Master's wrath!
He transforms, rockets into the sky, and escapes.
Shockwave transforms and approaches Grimlock, whose optics have recovered.
SHOCKWAVE: Are you functional?
GRIMLOCK: Functional enough to crush new Decepticon! Why you interfere?!
SHOCKWAVE: I had the first shot. Logic dictates using it to defeat the enemy.
GRIMLOCK: Grimlock remember this if Grimlock need to crush you.
Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

SETTING: Galvatron's throne room.
Galvatron grabs Scourge's throat to lift him off his feet. Electricity arcs from the Decepticon Commander's fingers; smoke rises from cracks in the assassin's armor.
SCOURGE: Howllll!
GALVATRON: I ordered the Sweeps to report the rebels' location and await further orders. They were to remain hidden until we were ready to strike. Why did you disobey my orders and alerted our enemies?
SCOURGE: Howllll!
Galvatron slams him against a wall; Scourge collapses onto the floor.
SCOURGE: Commander, I c-c-can explain! I m-made an alliance with one of the sentient beings on that planet! Together, we can drive the Autobots from the planet, from their sanctuary! The Autobots will be cut off from their energy supplies, weak and vulnerable!
Galvatron looks down upon him; the Decepticon Commander's eyes burn with rage.
GALVATRON: Then I will meet with this ally and see if he can convince me to spare you.

TEXT: Schloss Totenkopf-- Military Armaments Research Systems (MARS) Headquarters. Switzerland.
Sunset. Schloss Totenkopf (Castle Death's Head) crowns a hill overlooking Lake Lucerne. The castle turrets have a carved Totenkopf facing each of the four directions; carved skeletons flank each of the keep gates.
Iron Grenadiers march around the keep. They wear flak jackets and protective masks, and carry Makarov pistols, AKM 7.62 mm rifles, and RPG-7 launchers.
TEXT: Iron Grenadiers-- MARS security forces.
GRENADIERS: We're the Iron Grenadiers! Provoke us not; we have no fears! We'll fight with guns; we'll fight with spears! We'll make you pay in blood and tears! We're the Iron Grenadiers!
In the keep, eight Iron Grenadiers escort Destro to a fireplace carved to resemble a dragon's jaws-- the gates of hell. Destro wears tilting armor with a mask of rage in honor of his ancestors, but with an APS 9 mm machine pistol instead of a claymore.
TEXT: James McCullen Destro XXIV-- MARS Director.
Destro draws a ceremonial dagger and inserts it in the dragon's eye-- a disguised lock. The flames extinguish to reveal a hidden door, which slides open. Destro and the grenadiers march down a secret passage; the door closes behind them and the flames ignite.
The passage leads to a cave whose mouth leads to the lake-- Two Beriev Be-10 Mallow jet-powered flying boats are docked there, ready to transport weapons.
Galvatron, Scourge, and two Sweeps stand in the water. Destro bows to the Decepticons.
DESTRO: Greetings, Colonel Scourge. How may I be of service?
Scourge bows to Megatron.
SCOURGE: Mighty Megatron, this is Destro, a human weapons manufacturer and merchant.
GALVATRON: As Decepticon Commander and Cybertron's ruler, I order you to drive the Autobots from Earth so we can destroy them!
DESTRO: General Megatron, I run a business, not an army. I profit from selling weapons, not from using them. Besides, if Starscream and the forces he commanded couldn't defeat the Autobots, what chance do I have?
GALVATRON: Then I have no use for you.
His right forearm-mounted fusion cannon targets Destro. Overkill and three BATs rise from the water and grab his limbs. Galvatron slams Overkill against a Be-10, rupturing the flying boat's fuel tanks.
ZARANA: Eek!
Galvatron generates electricity to destroy the BAT holding his arms and legs; sparks ignite the fuel leaking from the Be-10.
The grenadiers cower as the Be-10 explodes; burning fuel covers the water.
GRENADIERS: Ah!
ZARANA: My Laird!
Zarana pilots Overkill, whose weapons target Galvatron. The Decepticon leader grabs Destro before she can shoot.
DESTRO: Wait!
GALVATRON: Will you obey me and drive the Autobots from Earth?
DESTRO: I know a warrior who fought under Starscream's command. He has the skills and experience necessary to defeat the Autobots. I will commit all of my resources to help him.
GALVATRON: Where is he?

TEXT: US Penitentiary Alcatraz, California. United States of America.
Midnight. Serpentor is doing pushups in his cell. His regeneration abilities healed his wounds, leaving only a star-shaped scar.
An explosion interrupts Serpentor, who stands up as the alarm howls and the searchlights turn on. He steps to the door and looks through the peephole; armed guards are running down the corridor.
A robot claw reaches through the wall behind him.
SERPENTOR: Grrrr!
He draws a stone shiv, aiming the point at the robot claw. The wall collapses to reveal Destro riding on Scourge's shoulder.
DESTRO: Your Majesty, we've come to free you!
SERPENTOR: No. The Decepticon defeat proved how weak they were. I will not ally with such weaklings and be humiliated again!
SCOURGE: Then you leave me no choice.
He grabs Serpentor.
SERPENTOR: How dare you?!
He stabs at Scourge's claw before he's put in the Ceratosaurus' mouth.
SERPENTOR: Howllll!

TEXT: Château de Versailles-- Capital of the Provisional Government of France.
The crushed and burning antiaircraft cannons, tanks, and APCs litter the palace grounds. Two Grenadiers use a bulldozer to move dead and dying soldiers off the streets as BATs hover overhead.
FRENCH SOLDIER: Ah!
GRENADIER: Shut up and stay dead!
The bulldozer blade raises and lowers upon the French soldier, crushing him.
Serpentor wears an unpainted copy of his armor, provided by Destro. The Cobra Emperor marches down a palace hall, followed by the MARS Director. Nutrient tanks line the walls, brainwashing French prisoners of war and transforming them into Vipers.
SERPENTOR: I am not impressed with your new allies, Destro. Starscream also had the power to crush a human army and capture a fortified city, but the Autobots defeated him nonetheless. Why do you think Megatron won't share his fate?
DESTRO: I do not know if Megatron will succeed where Starscream had failed; I only know he'll kill me if I defy him.
SERPENTOR: You chose to live a slave instead of dying a warrior?
DESTRO: I'm a businessman, not a warrior. Immortality is meaningless if one cannot live to enjoy one's fame and fortune.
SERPENTOR: You wish to avoid your father's fate.
He stops, draws his katana, and holds the blade in front of Destro's eyes.
DESTRO: Gasp!
SERPENTOR: Starscream told me of how your father took control over Bruticus and, mad with power, attacked the Autobots, only to die by their hands.
DESTRO: His ambition was to rule the world; it cost him his life. I don't share his lust for power; I won't share his fate.
Serpentor lowers the blade, returning the katana to its scabbard.
SERPENTOR: Very well.
SCOURGE (RADIO): Serpentor, the Aerialbots are approaching from Sector 06-08-47, velocity, 2450 kilometers per hour.
Serpentor presses a button on his helmet to radio Scourge.
SERPENTOR: The Vipers' indoctrination is 90 to 120 minutes away from completion. Can you defend the base from the Autobots and GI Joe until then?
SCOURGE (RADIO): I will crush them!
Serpentor faces Destro.
SERPENTOR: Let us see if he's a worthy ally.
Five B-58A bombers carry reentry pods designed to insert EATRs. The Aerialbots fly below the B-58As to shield them. 16 Sweeps climb towards the planes.
SILVERBOLT: Incoming, 11 o'clock!
The Sweeps fire AAMs. Air Raid dives, transforms, draws his sword, and intercepts the AAMs.
AIR RAID: Come on, you can do better than that!
The Sweeps climb within hand-to-hand combat range and transform. AIM-7Bs suddenly detonate around Air Raid, forcing the Sweeps away from him.
Air Raid angrily watches Skydive, in robot mode, dive towards the Sweeps.
AIR RAID: Hey, they're mine!
He lunges and impales a Sweep; kenki shatters its frame so he can recover his sword. One Sweep lunges at his head as a second lunges at his waist; Air Raid slashes, destroying both Sweeps.
Skydive detaches his external fuel tanks-- disguised laser pistols-- and shoots two Sweeps, beheading them.
SKYDIVE: I wish you'd use your computer before your saber.
SILVERBOLT: Fireflight, Slingshot, maintain formation!
B-58A PILOT: Prepare to deploy reentry pods. Five, four, three, two, one... Go Joe!
Each bomber drops four pods, which deploy parachutes to slow their descent. The B-58As rocket away from the palace, their mission completed.
Zarana pilots Overkill, whose radar detects the pods.
TEXT: Zarana-- real name unknown. Iron Grenadiers Commander.
ZARANA: Incomiiiing!
She shoots at a pod, destroying it. The Grenadiers stop the bulldozer, jump out, and take cover.
The pods split open; the Joes shoot at the BATs as they descend. Roadblock fires two Stingers at Overkill.
ZARANA: Yaaaa!
Overkill's cannons fire, intercepting the AAMs. Zarana keeps shooting.
Roadblock jettisons the parachute, uses the EATR booster rockets to fly backwards, and dodges the 30 mm shells.
ROADBLOCK: We scrapped you once; we can scrap you again!
His Gatling gun shoots at Overkill, who sidesteps to dodge the 20 mm shells.
ZARANA: Where in hell are our so-called allies?!
A Sweep, its arms and legs shot off, crashes in front of her.
SWEEP: Shriek!
Two Sweeps shoot into the air as they descend. Laser beams rain on the Sweeps, who explode.
Zarana raises the dismembered Sweep over her head, using the hunter-killer unit as a shield.
ZARANA: Never mind.
Superion lands in the courtyard.
SUPERION: All invaders, jettison your weapons...
Galvatron's 152 mm howitzer-- a disguised fusion cannon-- fires to throw Superion off his feet.
SUPERION: Argh!
Galvatron-- a purple ISU-152 assault gun-- drives forward, transforms, and targets Superion's head.
GALVATRON: This is my weapon. You may take it if you have the strength to defeat me... but you don't. Die!
A graser beam hits his forehead as he shoots; the artificial sun barely misses Superion.
GALVATRON: Argh!
Shockwave, in fighter mode, dives towards him.
SHOCKWAVE: I calculate my strength to be sufficient for that task.
He shoots. Galvatron removes his helmet and throws it towards Shockwave; the beam vaporizes the helmet, buying Galvatron time to take cover.
Scourge lunges to lock his jaws around the F-12B cockpit.
SHOCKWAVE: Ahhhh!
SCOURGE: I'll tear you to pieces!
Swoop dives towards them, firing his 20 mm Gatling gun.
TEXT: Swoop-- Dinobot bombardier.
Three 20 mm shell shatter Scourge's right optic.
SCOURGE: Howllll!
He releases Shockwave. Swoop fires two Bullpups at Scourge's back, blowing him out of control towards the ground.
SCOURGE: Commanderrrr!
Galvatron shoots at Swoop. The F-105D transforms; the Dimorphodon uses his frame as an airbrake to dodge the beam, but fails to kill Scourge.
SWOOP: Shriek!
Galvatron catches Scourge before he falls.
Serpentor's head tilts to dodge a stray shot that shatters the window, damaging a nutrient tank in the hall. Outside, Omega, Magnus, Arcee, and the Dinobots land in front of Galvatron.
SERPENTOR: Destro, deploy the smoke generators to cover the BATs as they remove the nutrient tanks, and abandon base. This I command!
Destro bows.
DESTRO: Yes, Your Majesty.
Smoke rises from hidden generators in the courtyard, concealing Overkill and the Grenadiers as they retreat. The EATRs shoot through the smoke, but refuse to charge into a potential ambush.
Galvatron releases Scourge, who lands on his claws. He smiles, facing Shockwave, the Autobots, and a recovering Superion.
SHOCKWAVE: You're outnumbered and outgunned. Logic dictates you surrender.
GALVATRON: You failed to include one factor.
An artificial sun penetrates Omega's force field, hits his head, and throws him off his feet.
OMEGA: Argh!
SUPERION: Omega!
Trypticon deploys two retractable 46 cm and six 25 mm gun turrets to protect his underside in flight; he uses these weapons to attack his enemies, forcing the Joes, Shockwave, and the Autobots to take cover.
DUKE: Damn it, how did they get his spark core out of the vault?!
Thunderer shoots back; the missiles, shells, laser beams explode harmlessly upon Trypticon's force field.
SUPERION: Face extinction, you damn lizard!
Trypticon transforms into his robot mode and rams Superion.
TRYPTICON: Roarrrr!
He steps on Superion's chest, bites off the Autobot's right arm and superweapon, and throws them into a fountain.
SUPERION: Ahhhh!
Trypticon's jaws lock around his head.
Wheelie-- an orange Wallis WA-116 autogyro armed with two 7.62 mm machine guns, two BGM-71 TOW ATGM launch tubes, and two Hydra 70 rocket pods-- stealthily flies towards Trypticon. The prototype transforms; his hands burn red as they magically neutralizes the force field, letting him put a W54 SADM between two of the Giganotosaurus' lower teeth. Wheelie transforms again and flies away.
The SADM explodes, forcing Trypticon to release Superion.
TRYPTICON: Roarrrr!
Galvatron targets Wheelie.
ARCEE: Oh no you don't!
She shoots Galvatron.
GALVATRON: Shocking female!
He shoots at Arcee, who somersaults backwards to dodge the artificial suns. Magnus' rifle-- a Little David 36 inch (914 mm) heavy mortar in direct fire mode-- fires a 3650 lb (1656 kg) shell to blow Galvatron off his feet.
GALVATRON: Argh!
Slingshot-- Superion's right arm-- transforms to robot mode, carries Thunderer to Superion's side, transforms again, and reattaches himself to the super warrior.
SUPERION: Good job, Slingshot.
He targets Trypticon. Missiles and shells detonate upon the Giganotosaurus' force field.
Scourge lunges at Magnus.
SCOURGE: Howl!
Grimlock lunges, rams Scourge's side, and slams him against the ground.
SCOURGE: Howllll!
GRIMLOCK: Decepticons weak! Dinobots strong!
He shoots. Scourge's wings fold up as he rolls to dodge the plasma beams.
Galvatron stands up and turns to Trypticon; sparks shoot from the Giganotosaurus' wound.
GALVATRON: Finish them!
Trypticon targets Superion, but his HUD reads, "FUSION CANNON INOP". His lower jaw quivers; his HUD reads, "JAW ACTUATORS 1, 2, 3, 4 INOP".
TRYPTICON (RADIO): Main weapon damaged. Jaws damaged. Must retreat and repair damage.
Galvatron turns to see Scarlett's EATR carry Wheelie away from the battle. Arcee stands in front of the human and the prototype to shield them.
GALVATRON: Decepticons, retreat!
Scourge and Trypticon transform to rockets away; the Giganotosaurus' lower jaw flaps in the wind. Galvatron is last to leave.
JOES: Yahoo! We won!
Arcee puts her hands on Wheelie's shoulders.
ARCEE: I told you to stay with Elita One so you'll be safe! How'd you get here?!
WHEELIE: Ultra Magnus bring big toolbox, Wheelie fly in and out to rock!
MAGNUS: Sorry, I should've checked it before we left.
GRIMLOCK: If prototype want to battle, let him! It make him strong; prepare him for upgrade!
Arcee angrily turns to him.
ARCEE: Monster.
The crushed and burning antiaircraft cannons, tanks, and APCs litter the palace grounds. Two Grenadiers use a bulldozer to move dead and dying soldiers off the streets as BATs hover overhead.

Galvatron-- a purple ISU-152 assault gun-- drives forward, transforms, and targets Superion's head.
GALVATRON: This is my weapon. You may take it if you have the strength to defeat me... but you don't. Die!
A graser beam hits his forehead as he shoots; the artificial sun barely misses Superion.
GALVATRON: Argh!
Shockwave, in fighter mode, dives towards him.
SHOCKWAVE: I calculate my strength to be sufficient for that task.
He shoots. Galvatron removes his helmet and throws it towards Shockwave; the beam vaporizes the helmet, buying Galvatron time to take cover.
Scourge lunges to lock his jaws around the F-12B cockpit.
SHOCKWAVE: Ahhhh!
SCOURGE: I'll tear you to pieces!
Swoop dives towards them, firing his 20 mm Gatling gun.
TEXT: Swoop-- Dinobot bombardier.
Three 20 mm shell shatter Scourge's right optic.
SCOURGE: Howllll!
He releases Shockwave. Swoop fires two Bullpups at Scourge's back, blowing him out of control towards the ground.
SCOURGE: Commanderrrr!
Galvatron shoots at Swoop. The F-105D transforms; the Dimorphodon uses his frame as an airbrake to dodge the beam, but fails to kill Scourge.
SWOOP: Shriek!
Galvatron catches Scourge before he falls.
Serpentor's head tilts to dodge a stray shot that shatters the window, damaging a nutrient tank in the hall. Outside, Omega, Magnus, Arcee, and the Dinobots land in front of Galvatron.
SERPENTOR: Destro, deploy the smoke generators to cover the BATs as they remove the nutrient tanks, and abandon base. This I command!
Destro bows.
DESTRO: Yes, Your Majesty.
Smoke rises from hidden generators in the courtyard, concealing Overkill and the Grenadiers as they retreat. The EATRs shoot through the smoke, but refuse to charge into a potential ambush.
Galvatron releases Scourge, who lands on his claws. He smiles, facing Shockwave, the Autobots, and a recovering Superion.
SHOCKWAVE: You're outnumbered and outgunned. Logic dictates you surrender.
GALVATRON: You failed to include one factor.
An artificial sun penetrates Omega's force field, hits his head, and throws him off his feet.
OMEGA: Argh!
SUPERION: Omega!
Trypticon deploys two retractable 46 cm and six 25 mm gun turrets to protect his underside in flight; he uses these weapons to attack his enemies, forcing the Joes, Shockwave, and the Autobots to take cover.
DUKE: Damn it, how did they get his spark core out of the vault?!
Thunderer shoots back; the missiles, shells, laser beams explode harmlessly upon Trypticon's force field.
SUPERION: Face extinction, you damn lizard!
Trypticon transforms into his robot mode and rams Superion.
TRYPTICON: Roarrrr!
He steps on Superion's chest, bites off the Autobot's right arm and superweapon, and throws them into a fountain.
SUPERION: Ahhhh!
Trypticon's jaws lock around his head.
Wheelie-- an orange Wallis WA-116 autogyro armed with two 7.62 mm machine guns, two BGM-71 TOW ATGM launch tubes, and two Hydra 70 rocket pods-- stealthily flies towards Trypticon. The prototype transforms; his hands burn red as they magically neutralizes the force field, letting him put a W54 SADM between two of the Giganotosaurus' lower teeth. Wheelie transforms again and flies away.
The SADM explodes, forcing Trypticon to release Superion.
TRYPTICON: Roarrrr!
Galvatron targets Wheelie.
ARCEE: Oh no you don't!
She shoots Galvatron.
GALVATRON: Shocking female!
He shoots at Arcee, who somersaults backwards to dodge the artificial suns. Magnus' rifle-- a Little David 36 inch (914 mm) heavy mortar in direct fire mode-- fires a 3650 lb (1656 kg) shell to blow Galvatron off his feet.
GALVATRON: Argh!
Slingshot-- Superion's right arm-- transforms to robot mode, carries Thunderer to Superion's side, transforms again, and reattaches himself to the super warrior.
SUPERION: Good job, Slingshot.
He targets Trypticon. Missiles and shells detonate upon the Giganotosaurus' force field.
Scourge lunges at Magnus.
SCOURGE: Howl!
Grimlock lunges, rams Scourge's side, and slams him against the ground.
SCOURGE: Howllll!
GRIMLOCK: Decepticons weak! Dinobots strong!
He shoots. Scourge's wings fold up as he rolls to dodge the plasma beams.
Galvatron stands up and turns to Trypticon; sparks shoot from the Giganotosaurus' wound.
GALVATRON: Finish them!
Trypticon targets Superion, but his HUD reads, "FUSION CANNON INOP". His lower jaw quivers; his HUD reads, "JAW ACTUATORS 1, 2, 3, 4 INOP".
TRYPTICON (RADIO): Main weapon damaged. Jaws damaged. Must retreat and repair damage.
Galvatron turns to see Scarlett's EATR carry Wheelie away from the battle. Arcee stands in front of the human and the prototype to shield them.
GALVATRON: Decepticons, retreat!
Scourge and Trypticon transform to rockets away; the Giganotosaurus' lower jaw flaps in the wind. Galvatron is last to leave.
JOES: Yahoo! We won!
Arcee puts her hands on Wheelie's shoulders.
ARCEE: I told you to stay with Elita One so you'll be safe! How'd you get here?!
WHEELIE: Ultra Magnus bring big toolbox, Wheelie fly in and out to rock!
MAGNUS: Sorry, I should've checked it before we left.
GRIMLOCK: If prototype want to battle, let him! It make him strong; prepare him for upgrade!
Arcee angrily turns to him.
ARCEE: Monster.
Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

SETTING: Area 51.
Noontime. Scarlett and Flint examine the vault lock; Hawk and Duke stand behind them.
SCARLETT: Someone reset the timer twice-- once to get Trypticon's spark core, once to hide the crime.
FLINT: Do you think Shockwave d-did it? He's a Decepticon, after all.
DUKE: If he did, why didn't he get Skywarp and the Combaticons' spark cores? The Destroyers' bodies are right in the lab; all Shockwave had to do was neutralize Elita.
SCARLETT: The thief didn't want to risk a confrontation with Elita One, which means he's probably human.
DUKE: So someone, maybe one of Destro Junior's men, infiltrated the base, stole Trypticon's spark core, took it to Pearl Harbor, and installed it in the mothballed battleship-- along with the plasma cannon in that dinosaur's mouth?
Flint has a flashback of Soundwave telepathically scanning his memory, and trembles.
SOUNDWAVE (MEMORY): (I have the information we need... I have no further need for him...)
FLINT: Shockwave s-said Soundwave was his b-b-brother; he might have that m-monster's mind reading or even mind control abilities.
Hawk approaches them. Duke stands at attention, but Hawk waves, ordering him not to call the others to attention.
HAWK: We couldn't contact Pearl Harbor, so we sent two RB-58s to check it out. The pilots reported seeing smoke rise from the shipyard-- then two of those new Decepticons drove them off. Intel is still analyzing the photos, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a Cobra flag flying over Hickam.
FLINT: So Pearl Harbor is under enemy control again.
HAWK: Not for long.

TEXT: Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. United States of America.
Strato-Viper-- a Cobra pilot whose DNA has been recombined to let him resist the effects of extreme temperatures, high altitudes, and g-forces-- wears a USAF flight suit. He looks out the control tower window to see Nightracer-- a blue Saab J35J Draken (Dragon) fighter with violet thunderbolts painted on the wings-- use a hologram projector to disguise herself as a Convair F-106A Delta Dart fighter in USAF markings. The pilot presses a button on his helmet to radio Nightracer-- the transmission is encrypted to prevent others from eavesdropping.
TEXT: Strato-Viper-- real name unknown. Captain (O3), Cobra Air Force (discharged). MARS pilot.
STRATO-VIPER: Permission to speak, Ma'am?
NIGHTRACER (RADIO): Granted.
STRATO-VIPER: Do you really think we still need that gizmo?
Nightracer transforms and stares at a dry dock the Destroyers built in 1942, where Trypticon is being repaired.
TEXT: Nightracer-- Destroyer assassin.
NIGHTRACER: Starscream taught me to prepare for all contingencies-- that was why he ordered me to help Destro incite civil wars in Africa, distracting the Autobots and their human allies until we were ready to face them. The lesson let me deal with his defeat; you should learn it too.
STRATO-VIPER (RADIO): But Megatron has already conquered Cybertron. He might succeed where Starscream failed.
NIGHTRACER: Starscream and the Autobots' records confirmed Megatron's death, so who is this new Megatron? How can we trust him?
She faces Strato-Viper.
NIGHTRACER: We cannot.

SETTING: Area 51.
A lab stores technology the Joes salvaged from Versailles. Inside, Snake Eyes stares at a dead Viper in the damaged nutrient tank. The glass cylinder reflects his unmasked face-- transparent eyelids and eyes with vertical pupils, scales covering his skin, and sharp teeth.
Scarlett and Jinx enter the lab. Jinx, who removed her goggles to reveal eyes like Snake Eyes', bows to her master.
JINX: Silent Master, General Abernathy wishes to consult you.
SNAKE EYES: (Very well.)
He puts on his mask and goggles as he turns to the door. Scarlett puts a hand on Snake Eyes' shoulder and whispers.
SCARLETT: You're not like them; you're not a monster.
Snake Eyes uses American Sign Language.
TEXT: I know I'm not a monster. I fear something else.
SCARLETT: What?
TEXT: That others must suffer as I do. To lose their faces, their voices, their names-- that which defines them as humans.
SCARLETT: Humans are also defined by their relationships with others. Cobra cannot take that away.
TEXT: Thank you.
Snake Eyes holds Scarlett's hand.
JINX: Silent Master?
SCARLETT: We're ready.
They march through the door. Jinx puts on her goggles and follows them to the hanger.
Bumblebee and the Joes sit in front of a slide projector. Sparkplug turns to Roadblock.
TEXT: Sparkplug-- Witwicky, Christopher L. Corporal (E4), US Marine Corps.
SPARKPLUG: Permission to speak, Sergeant?
ROADBLOCK: Joes never address each other by rank; that tells enemy snipers whom to shoot first. You call me Roadblock; I'll call you Sparkplug. Now speak.
SPARKPLUG: Does a Snake Eater really make a soldier invincible?
ROADBLOCK: A Snake Eater's a good weapon, but like all weapons, it has its flaws. Heavy weapons, like cannons and rockets, will turn it into a metal coffin. But if you remember your training and think, the Snake Eater won't become your coffin.
He puts a hand on Sparkplug's shoulder.
SPARKPLUG: Don't worry, just stand by me and follow orders; you'll be fine.
Duke and Flint enter the hanger.
DUKE: How's Lady Jaye?
FLINT: She wants to serve her country, but Marissa's keeping her busy. Honestly, I'm glad she's at home, not flying around and getting shot at by killer robots.
DUKE: I understand. How old is your daughter now?
FLINT: Three, and she already knows how to wrap a man around her finger. Well, duty calls.
He steps behind the projector. Hawk enters.
DUKE: Group, attention!
Bumblebee and the Joes rise from their chairs to stand at attention.
HAWK: Take seat.
Bumblebee and the Joes sit down.
Flint turns on the projector; a photo of Pearl Harbor is projected on a wall. Sweeps guard the Constructicons as they repair Trypticon; two face the reconnaissance plane that took the photo.
HAWK: I'll be frank; the coming battle will be long and hard. The enemy has occupied Pearl Harbor and may be transforming US servicemen into Vipers. And we have cannot attack their munitions plants and uranium refineries, as we did to stop the Destroyers from continuing to use nuclear weapons.
A photo of Hickam AFB is projected. Hawk uses his long slide M1911A1 pistol laser sight to point at a Decepticon shuttle on the runway.
HAWK: This is why. The new Decepticons are bringing in supplies and reinforcements from Cybertron, a planet they completely control. But we have one chance of victory.
A photo of Galvatron is projected. The laser sight points at his forehead.
HAWK: This is a robot who's impersonating Megatron, the late Decepticon Commander. If we launch a successful decapitation strike, we can force the Decepticons to retreat, buying time to build up Earth's defenses. Bumblebee?
Bumblebee stands at attention.
BUMBLEBEE: Elita has designed the RGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missile and two new long-range missiles equipped with nuclear warheads-- the BGM-109 Tomahawk and the AGM-48 Skybolt. Magnus is helping the Air Force and Navy modify F-4 and F8U fighters to carry RGM-84s. Arcee is modifying the B-58 bombers to each carry three AGM-48s. Omega is being equipped with vertical launch systems for RGM-84 and BGM-109 missiles, and a new heavy plasma cannon.
FLINT: What is Shockwave doing?
BUMBLEBEE: Um, he's telepathically communicating with Skywarp and the Combaticons, so they'll join our cause.
JOES: What?!
BUMBLEBEE: Don't worry; Slag and Sledgehammer are with him! They won't let Shockwave do anything funny!
ROADBLOCK: In the land of the blind, the one-eyed robot is king. We're the blind; God have mercy on us all.
BUMBLEBEE: Actually, Shockwave has five optics; the big one in front, two on the sides of his heads, a little one on the back of his head, and a targeting optic in his left forearm so he can aim from behind cover. Six if you count the pistol targeting optic that he interfaces with when he...
