Before time began, there was The Cube.
We know not where it comes from,
only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life.
That is how our race was born.
For a time we lived in harmony,
but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil.
And so began the war,
a war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death,
and The Cube was lost to the far reaches of space.
We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home,
searching every star, every world.
And just when all hope seemed lost,
message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet called Earth.
But we were already too late.

Let me tell you something, son.
A driver don't pick the car, the car'll pick the driver
It's a mystical bond between man and machine.

Maggie Madsen: Sir, I'm just trying to say, they hacked your firewall in 10 seconds.
Okay, even a supercomputer with a brute force attack would take 20 years to do that.
The signal pattern is learning.
It's envolving on its own.
And you need to move fast Fourier transfers and start considering quantum mechanics.
General: There is nothing on earth that complex.
Maggie Madsen: What about an organism? A living organism?
Maybe some kind of DNA-based computer?
And I know that sounds crazy...
Defense Secretary: That's enough, that's enough.
We have 6 floors of analysts working on this thing.
Now if you can find proof to back-up your theory, I'm gonna be happy to listen to you.
But if you don't get a filter on that brain-mouth thing, you're gonna be off team.
You understand?
[been attacking by Scorponok]
Capt. William Lennox, on the phone: This is an emergency Pentagon call!!
I need you to...
Do you understand?
It's an emergency Pentagon...
[the bomb blows near him]
Capt. William Lennox: I DON'T HAVE A CREDIT CARD!!!
Operator, bored: Sir, the attitude is not going to speed things up any bit at all.
I'm going to ask you to speak into the mouthpiece very clearly.
Capt. William Lennox: I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WAR!!!
This is frigging ridiculous!
[running to Epps]
I need a credit card!
Epps, where's your wallet?
Serg. Epps, while shooting the Scorponok: Pocket!
Capt. William Lennox: Which pocket?
Serg. Epps, still shooting: My back pocket!
Capt. William Lennox: You got 10 back pockets!
Serg. Epps: LEFT CHEEK! LEFT CHEEK! LEFT CHEEK!
Capt. William Lennox, after got Epps' credit card: Okay, it's Visa!
Operator: Also, sir, have you heard our premium plus world service gold package?
Capt. William Lennox: No! I don't want a premium package!
Epps! Pentagon!
[throw the phone to Epps]
I ain't never seen this in my life!
Need gunships on station, ASAP!
~Serg. Epps
Mikaela, about Bumblebee: What is it?
Sam: It's a robot.
But like a... like a different... you know... like a super-advanced robot.
It's probably Japanese. Yeah, it's definitely Japanese.
Bumblebee turns into a Camaro and open his door: Anymore questions you want to ask?
Sam: He wants us to get in the car.
Mikaela: And go where?
Sam: 50 years from now, when you're looking back at your life,
don't you want to be able to say you had the guts to get in the car?
Mikaela: You know what I don't understand?
Why if he's supposed to be, like, this super-advanced robot,
does he transform back into this piece-of-crap Camaro?
[Bumblebee stop riding, open the door and let Sam and Mikaela out of the car]
Sam: Oh, see? No... Get...
No, that doesn't work, see?
Great, now... See?
[Bumblebee left them on sidewalk]
Sam: Fantastic! Now you pissed him off!
That car is sensitive.
I mean, $4000 just drove off.
Optimus Prime: Are you Samuel James Witwicky, descendant of Archibald Witwicky?
Mikaela: They know your name...
Sam: Yeah...
Optimus Prime: My name is Optimus Prime.
We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron.
Ratchet: But you can call us Autobots for short.
Sam: Autobots...
Jazz: What's cracking, little bitches?
Optimus Prime: My first lieutenant, designation, Jazz.
Jazz: This looks like a cool place to kick it.
Sam: What is that?
How did he learn to talk like that?
Optimus Prime: We've learned earth languages through the world wide web.
My weapon specialist, Ironhide.
Ironhide: You feeling lucky, punk?
Optimus Prime: Easy, Ironhide...
Ironhide: Just kidding.
I just wanted to show him my cannons.
Optimus Prime: Our medical officer, Ratchet.
Ratchet: The boy's pheromone level suggests he wants to mate with the female.
[Sam and Mikaela are blushing]
Optimus Prime: You already know your guardian, Bumblebee.
Sam: Bumblebee, right...
Bumblebee: Check on the rep, yep, second to none.
Sam: So you're my guardian, huh?
Ratchet: His vocal processors were damaged in battle.
I'm still working on them.
Mikaela: Why are you here?
Optimus Prime: We are looking for The All Spark.
And we must find it before Megatron.
Sam: Mega-what?
Optimus Prime: Our planet once a powerful empire, peaceful and just,
until we were betrayed by Megatron, leader of The Decepticons.
All who defied them were destroyed.
Our war finally consumed the planet and The All Spark was lost to the stars.
Megatron followed it to earth, where Captain Witwicky found him...
Sam: My grandfather...
Optimus Prime: It was an accident that intertwined our fates.
Megatron crash-landed before he could retrieve The Cube.
He accidentally activated this navigation system.
The coordinates the The Cube's location on earth were imprinted on his glasses.
Sam: How'd you know about his glasses?
Optimus Prime: eBay.
Sam: eBay...
Ratchet: If The Decepticons find The All Spark,
they will use its power to transform earth's machine and build a new army.
Optimus Prime: And the human race will be extinguished.
Sam Witwicky, you hold the key to earth's survival.
Mikaela: Please tell me that you have those glasses.
Ironhide: Why are we fighting to save the humans?
They're primitive and violent race.
Optimus Prime: Were we so different?
They're a young species. They have much to learn.
But I've seen goodness in them.
Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.
You all know there's only one way to end this war.
We must destroy The Cube.
If all else fails, I will unite it with the spark in my chest.
Ratchet: That's suicide!
The Cube is raw power. It could destroy you both!
Optimus Prime: A necessary sacrifice to bring peace to this planet.
We can not let the humans pay for our mistakes.
It's been an honor serving with you all.
Capt. William Lennox: All right, I can't leave my guys back there, so here, take this flare.
Okay, there's a tall white building with statues on top.
Go to the roof. Set the flare.
Sam: No!
Capt. William Lennox: Signal the chopper and set the flare.
Sam: No, no, I can't do this!
Capt. William Lennox: Listen to me, you're soldier now! Alright?!
I need you to take this Cube, get into military hands while we hold them off,
or a lot of people are gonna die!
Sam, no matter what happens,
I'm really glad I got in that car with you.
~Mikaela
Megatron: Human don't deserve to live.
Optimus Prime: They deserve to choose for themselves.
Megatron: Then you will die with them!
Join them in extinction!
Is it fear or courage that compels you, fleshling?
Give me The All Spark and you may live to be my pet.
~Megatron
Sam, I owe you my life.
We are in your debt.
~Optimus Prime
With The All Spark gone, we can not return life to our planet.
And fate has yielded its reward, a new world call home.
We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight,
but watching over them in secret, waiting... protecting.
I have witnessed their capacity for courage.
And though we are worlds apart, like us,
there's more to them than meets the eye.
I'm Optimus Prime
and I send this message to any surviving autobots taking refuge among the stars.
We are here...
We are waiting...
