I feel like an absolute bloody fool!
This is disgraceful! This is humiliating! This—
- is a direct order of the Chairman of the Board.
Stop complaining. Here comes our beloved Chairman now.
I know you're all totally grossed out to be here,
but its my birthday so I'm going to have a party!
Why aren't you geezers, having a good time?
Why can't you guys just lighten up and enjoy yourselves?
I can't stand It.
This place is like a prison!
I hate it! I want some excitement!
Don't cry, Astoria.
Its my party and I'll cry if I want to!
- Found the target! - Commence the attack!
What was that?
What in the heck?
Autobot headquarters, this is Powerglide!
The Decepticons are attacking Hybrid Technologies Corporation!
They must be after some secret plans,
or maybe some new fuel they've invented,
or maybe they're gonna kidnap all the company's top scientists, or...
They're after a girl! It's hero time!
Let go of me, you-
Don't you touch that girl!
- Stay back! - Hey, kid!
- Grab the rope! - Powerglide!
After them!
Hey, thanks for rescuing me!
Whoever... you aren't?
Oh my gosh, we're gonna crash!
Hey, don't!
No! Wrong button!
There they are! Such superb aerial agility.
Truly a worthy adversary.
Watch what you're doing, will ya?
Now, knock it off will you?
Where are you? Who are you?
The guy thats trying to save you!
So sit still, and let me get on with it!
He has eluded us!
We must keep searching!
- I think we ditched them. - Wow. That was intense.
Who are you?
Powerglide's the name.
Well, whoever you are, I think you're completely the greatest.
uhh... thanks! Now listen—
Oh, I want to go flying again!
Oh, come on!
Will you shut up and listen?
I gotta know why those goons were after you!
- Who are you? - I'm Astoria Carlton-Ritz.
Chairman of the Board of Hybrid Technologies.
You run HyTech?
Yeah, so like, my father died... okay, and he left the company to me.
We've got to find out why they want you.
I want to go flying!
I'll send you flying.
According to this data
Astoria isn't allowed access to HyTech's research labs or equipment,
even if though she runs the company.
There must be some reason why the Deceptigoons tryed to nab her.
Maybe they just wanted to hold her hostage,
in exchange for some secret information.
Yeah, but what information? Thats what bothers me.
So, you had a run in with the Decepticreeps, huh?
- Yeah. - Too bad I wasn't there.
I'm always ready to rescue a girl as pretty as you.
What do you know about Powerglide?
Oh he's okay. Kind of a blowhard. If you know what I mean.
I think he's wonderful.
- You do? - Oh wow!
He's tall, he's handsome, he's shiny.
And he can fly!
Yeah, well there's a few things he can't do, you know.
What are you doing?
Terrific!
- Hey! - What's the matter?
Get away! Just stay clear of my equipment!
Hey, like I can't help it if your junk's all defective!
No wonder your own company won't let you near any of their equipment.
Yeah, I guess me and machines don't get along too well.
I can personally attest to that.
Come on.
I've been given the lucky task of escorting you, back to our main headquarters.
I am hungry! I absolutely gotta have something to eat!
Why does everything always happen to me?
You failed to capture the girl?
We had not counted on Powerglide's interference.
You are supposed to be the most powerful jets in the galaxy,
and you are beaten by a pipsqueak Autobot?
Please, let us try to find her again.
You will not try to get her, you will get her,
or I'll have you all melted down for scrap!
Astoria, we've got to—
No wait. I want to do that.
Boy, this is better than runnling that stupid old company!
Astoria, we've got to get you out of here! Its dangerous!
What are you talking about? We're on a merry-go-round, for crying out loud!
Okay, so like what do I wanna do now?
I don't care what you want to do!
We're going to the volcano!
Let me go of me! Let go! Don't you touch my necklace.
Hey... what's the matter?
Powerglide... my dad gave me this before he died.
He made me promised to never take it off.
I'm sorry. Real sorry.
It's okay. You didn't know.
But now we've gotta...
go.
We've come for the girl.
And we will take the girl.
Or else!
- Astoria... - Yeah?
Run!
Even the three of you can't beat one of me!
Uh oh!
Come on!
Get in already!
After them!
- Did we lose 'em? - No.
Look out!
Here they come again!
Got to find cover!
Powerglide to Autobot headquarters!
I've got to land! Busted wing!
Send help! Transmitting coordinates!
Wow... this place is, like... nowhere.
Yeah. It ain't exactly the garden spot.
Hey, you're hurt!
It's nothing.
Nothing? Its totally severe!
You could get sand in it or something.
No! You're a real pain in the afterburners, you know that?
You know, you don't have to be Mr. Macho all the time, okay?
Just let me help!
You're like a big baby, sometimes.
I mean like, I care about you. You saved my life.
Of course, you wouldn't feel anything like that about me.
'Course not. You're a robot. You're above all those kind of things.
Well maybe I kinda, sorta, possibly, feel that i think you're a—
Decepticons!
Autobot! Meet your doom!
Get her! I'll finish off Powerglide!
Powerglide!
Let me go, you dirtbags!
I hope your solenoids all rot!
I gotta stop them...
No!
Astoria...
Get him in, Wheeljack!
You're going for a ride, big fella.
Astoria.
- Got to save her! - You will, you will.
Just gotta get you patched up first.
Hurry it up, will yat?
I'm going as fast as I can.
I can't just lie around here while that girl's in the hands of Megatron's goons!
This is a delicate procedure.
Look! I feel fine!
Get back here! I'm not done!
Is my wing fixed? Can I fly?
- Well, yes, but— - Then you're done.
Any word from the Decepticreeps?
- Not a peep. - They've got her, Prime!
Why don't they ransom her?
Maybe they don't want a ransom.
Maybe she's got something they want.
- Like what? - I can't say.
We're still completely in the dark about Megatron's plan.
Sky Spy has detected unusual atmospheric disturbances
over the North Atlantic.
The source is ten miles above sea level.
Sounds like the Decepticons have some kind of sub-orbital station.
Then thats where they've taken Astoria. And thats where I'm going!
I let that little brat down once,
and I'm not gonna give up till I find her!
The energy-transductor is now fully operational, Megatron.
Excellent! As soon as I find out what that girl knows,
we can turn the Earth's electromagnetic field into raw energon.
You got any burgers in this joint?
Silence!
You guys are, like, the worst hosts!
Tell me what you know and you will be released.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
Before your father died, he gave you the HyTech's energy formula.
- If you say so. - I do.
And I want it. Now!
Hey! Like don't be so hostile, okay?
Tell me what you know!
All I know is that you're a complete and total, utter—
SILENCE!
If you won't give me the formula willingly,
there are always other ways.
The psycho-probe is capable of extracting all the information from a human's mind.
I'll give you one last chance. Tell me what you know.
The psycho probe is not a pleasant experience.
Don't blow a circuit, man.
Have it your way then. Energize the psycho probe!
Well?
Subject's mind, completely empty.
Impossible!
Computer error. Searching for problem.
Hey, I forgot to tell you. Me and machines don't get along too well.
Especially slimeball machines like you.
What in the world's that?
Problem corrected.
Very well. Activate!
- See? I told you. - I do not believe this!
Mechanical error.
Don't know... how long...
i can take this!
But I've got to get through...
for Astoria!
They keep slipping off!
Hold them in place if you have to!
I must get that formula!
Ready!
The psycho-probe will put 90,000 volts through your brain.
It is an excruciating experience.
Will you tell me what you know?
All this waiting around, that's what's excruciating.
I mean, I'm starving, for cryin' out loud!
When are you guys gonna feed me? That's what I wanna know.
Your dumb machine, like, doesn't even work, and—
Enough!
Tu-r-r-nnn-it off-f!
Megatron. Approaching Autobot sighted.
- Powerglide! - Come.
I'll tend to you later.
He'll never make it through that energy storm.
Oh yeah? Says you.
That thing seems to be causing the storm.
Maybe something metal would short circuit it.
Nothing. Well...
Sorry, Dad, but I've got to chuck the formula,
in order to save him.
And away we go!
The Control Housing! Return to headquarters!
Astoria!
Why did you smash the antenna?
Do you wanna get yourself killed?
I did it to save you, you dumb—
Oh, yell at me, I don't care as long as you are safe!
Oh, can the mush. You've got to—
Astoria!
You little creep! If anything would have happened to you...
- Here! Jump for it! - And what are you gonna do?
I got a little plan.
Then I'm staying with you, no matter what!
You're gonna drive me crazy!
Get that panel open!
There. Now I should be able to steer this floating parking lot!
Huh? I fixed it perfectly!
What could have gone wrong?
You! You're the problem!
Get outta here! You're jinxing the controls!
Oh no! I'm staying with—
—you!
Much better!
Now to program a new course.
I oughta sock you.
Hey! We're like still heading down!
But of course! Get in!
Well, at least we all got away with our hulls in one piece.
and as for the girl and the falling sky platform—
well, that's Powerglide's problem.
Problem is ours.
Energize the force fields!
What force fields?
Attention, Decepticons!
This is Megatron speaking.
Your new orders are... er...
clean up this mess!
So what were the Decepticons after anyway?
Oh, just that necklace my father gave me.
You never make any sense, you know that?
Yeah. Well, I gotta be going.
Uhm... next time I'm in town,
would it be okay If I uh looked you up?
That would be wonderful!
You're wonderful!
Yeah. Well, you're not so bad yourself, kid.
You really mean it?
Well, sure!
Ha, wow! Who would've believed it! Powerglide shot down by Cupid!
Alright! Which one of you wants to be the first to get his circuits punched out?
