Transformers: Earthspark (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Decoy - full transcript

While out on a mission to capture three tricky tuneful Mini-Cassette Bots, Megatron and Optimus Prime have a disagreement about GHOST's treatment of Decepticons.

- Ahh! Ahh!

Oh.

- We just started.

Don't tell me you're
tired already.

- Not tired, exactly.

More like I'm... whoa!

Going to do that.

- Does this have
something to do with

that all the feels
woo-woo thing you got

going on with Mo and Robbie?

- That's gotta be it.



I've been wanting to scream,

cry, dance, and puke today.

And I don't even
know what that is.

- Ah, first day jitters.

The kids start their
new school today.

- They didn't tell us
it would be such a...

big deal.

- What's a mean girl?

I'm suddenly really
worried about meeting one.

- Look, I know you're
worried about Mo and Robby

making new friends at school

and not having as much
time for you, I get it.

- New friends?
- Who aren't us?

- And that hadn't
even occurred to you



until I opened my mouth, did it?

It's okay, honey.

Everybody gets a little
anxious on their first day.

- I'm fine, Mama.

I'm... I'm excited.

I'm not worried at all.

- Uh-huh.

That's why you repacked
your backpack 15 times.

- Pssh, says the
person who actually

put on deodorant this morning.

- Thrash?

Thrash, are you okay?

Oh!

- Thrash! Amp down!

- I would if I could!

Oh, no, slow down!

- Take cover!

- First day lunches
with my homemade...

- Snicker doodles.

Ahh...

- Bumblebee, what
kind of training

do you have my kids doing?

- That wasn't on
the lesson plan.

- I don't know what happened.

It was like I had no control.

I just changed form
and kept going.

Sorry to scare you, Dad.

- It's you I'm concerned about.
- Me too.

Robby and I have been feeling
weird stuff from you and Twitch

since yesterday.
- Not me.

What would I have to
worry about?

That you're going to leave
us behind while you go off

to make new friends and
won't need us anymore

and will probably
forget our names?

- That's kind of
impossible, Twitch.

You're always with us.

- So you won't mind if
we come to school too?

- Well, I don't... I mean...

- You and Thrash are
a secret. Remember?

The kind that's too hard
to fit in a classroom.

- A new school is just
one of those things

we have to do by ourselves.

- We'll give you
the whole download

when we get home this afternoon.

Promise.

- Remember, don't try
too hard to make friends.

Cool kids can smell
desperation from a mile away.

- We're cool, too.

Stop worrying so much, Robby.

- Hmm, Miss Malto, Mo.

Mo Malto.

That's a good name
for a TV character.

Ordinarily you'd be in Miss
Landers' class, but she's out.

So we'll just let you
stay with your brother

for your first day.

- Thanks!

- We are an ensemble here, so
we sit in alphabetical order.

Mr. Lowe, scooch two
seats left-wise, please.

- But Mr. Smelt,
Bruno and I have been

sitting next to each
other since kindergarten.

- Change is good for you.

Think of it as a new scene in
the big movie of your life.

- Hey, you wanna trade seats?

That way I can still
be next to Bruno.

Mr. Smelt won't mind.

- Miss Malto, that
is not the seat

I just assigned you, is it?

I do hope you're not
always this disruptive.

Remember, life isn't a
rehearsal, it's an audition!

- Just lay low. It'll be okay.

- Shush, shush, shush,
shush, shush, shush.

- Wow, our teacher
is a huge jerk.

- What did you call me?

- Oh, no. Not you, Bee.

It feels from Mo and Robby.

School is a lot.

- Try to focus.

Now, when scouting new ground,

it's a good idea to leave
trail markers as you go

to find your way back or
to help others find you.

You can use...

- Whoa!

This is so embarrassing,
but kind of exciting too.

How does that work?

- Ugh, forget scouting.

We'll try recon.

I think you'll
like this mission.

- Everyone, two minutes
intermission, class.

- Where'd you guys move from?

- Isn't Witwicky the worst?

- It's not Philly...

That's what we call
Philadelphia...

But it's okay.
- Yeah.

We've already made some
great new friends here.

- Did you hear
that? She means us.

- What are your friends names?

Maybe we know them too.

- Uh, they, uh...

They're not from around here.

I mean, yes, they are, but...

- Let me guess,
they're imaginary.

- I'd like to show her...

- Who's imaginary?
- Whoa.

Robby.

- Wow. Don't they
have jokes in Philly?

Oh, seniors.

Well, the principal
will hear about this.

- And that's how a scout
knows a mission is over.

Time to go.
- Well, can't we just

stay a little longer?
- Yeah.

Our cover didn't get blown.

- There! Get the rogue's
license plate number.

- Just make sure
nobody sees you.

I'll meet you back at home.

- Get him, Principal Dan!

- Uh, are you trying
to make that sound?

- No. I wanna go drone,
but I can't seem to...

- Come to the front
of the room, please.

Mr. Malto, sing this note.

- Oh, you're serious.

- Angelic tones!

Your pipes will be a welcome
addition to the school choir.

Miss Malto.

Ow! Ow!

What's... uh!

- Uh, uh! Ah.

- Ah!

- Ahh! Oh!

- Ahh!

- What are they doing?

- How embarrassing.

- Ahh! Ahh!

Ahh!

- Ahh! Ahh!

- I will not be upstaged
in my own classroom.

Miss Malto, be seated.

- It's okay, Mo.

I felt it, too.

- I think it came
from Twitch, but...

- Nothing like this has
ever happened before.

- But our link to
Mo and Robbie isn't

supposed to work that way.

- Is that a dance
move from Philly?

- You guys really
freaked Smelt out.

Maybe you're not
so bad after all.

Cool.

We totally meant to do that.

- I'm having a pool party
after school at my house.

If you wanna come, I
guess that'd be okay.

- We'd love to.

- All right, class, a little
outside meditation time

may be in order.

- Translation, he wants
to check his dating app.

Hmm.

Ah, ah. Hmm, hmm.

- Twitch, Thrash,
we know you're here.

- Ro-Robby, is school over?

- No, but our social
lives almost were.

What did you do to Mo?

- I think Twitch is going
through the same craziness

I went through this morning.

Did you feel all weird inside,

like you couldn't stop yourself?

- Yeah, only I was in
front of the whole class.

It was horrible.

- This is why we asked
you guys to let us

go to school on our own.

So get some rest
or train with Bee,

but, please, just go home
before you ruin everything!

- What Robby means is this
is really important to us.

You'll just have to get
used to us being at school.

Some things are only for humans.

- They really don't
want us around.

- Uh, Twitch, home...
Home is this way.

Twitch?

Wait up!

Hey, you survived.

How'd it go?

- Not the worst day of my life.

- But pretty close.

At least we got
invited to go swimming.

- At a guy named Bruno's house.

- It's great that
you made new friends.

Just don't forget
about your old ones.

The Terrans seriously
missed you today.

Where are Twitch
and Thrash, anyway?

I thought they'd be with you.

- We kinda asked them to leave.

- We weren't very nice to them.

- They can't be too upset.

I don't feel anything.

- We can make friends anytime.

Twitch and Thrash are family.

- Might not be a bad
idea to tell them that

when you get the chance.

- Last time we saw
them, they were...

- Twitch, wait up!

Okay, you're faster. I get it.

You win.

Twitch!

Hold up!

Come on, you're gonna
get us both lost.

- This is where we left them.

- Still can't feel
Twitch or Thrash?

- No.

You think something's wrong?

- The sooner we find them,
the sooner we'll know.

So let's use those
scouting skills.

When tracking something, you
have to be aware of everything

around you, no matter how small.

- You mean like this Terran
footprints you're kneeling on?

- I saw those. Just
waiting to see if you did.

- Uh-huh.

- Come on.

- Do you think Thrash and
Twitch are super mad at us?

- Does that look mad to you?

- Just when I
thought they weren't

listening to my lessons.

- They're breadcrumbs
to show his trail,

like in the fairy tale
with Hansel and Gretel.

- Are those famous scouts?

- If you're a gingerbread witch.

- Well, I bet your Hansel
and Gretel couldn't do this.

Ah!

Ah, ah, Ow!

You little... little... no, no.

No, no, buddy. Come here.

Ow.

You little...

- Bumblebee!
- Ah! Ah!

- Look out!

- Ah! Ah, ah! Ahh!

Bee!

- Uh!

- Like I always say, when
you're lost, ask the locals.

Our furry friend
found a shortcut.

Okay, hold on.

- We must be close
to Thrash and Twitch.

But something feels wrong.

- I'm not getting any emotions,
just a need to move forward.

- Like sleepwalking zombies.
- Hmm.

That sounds like when a Bot
is almost out of Energon.

It's like our fuel, our blood.

Although, one time, when
Soundwave was low on it,

he tried to eject
and instead exploded

a cassette inside his...

Oh, maybe that's not the
best story to share with you.

My point is,

Twitch might need Energon.

When's the last time
the Terrans had some?

- Never, that we know of.

- But that's not possible.

They would...
- They would what?

- Nothing. Let's just find
them as soon as we can.

- Buddy McSnarleyface
hasn't steered us wrong yet.

Thrash!

- Where's Twitch?

- You don't look so good.

- Oh, I...

I couldn't even
keep up with her.

And she's acting really weird.

And I don't feel too hot myself.

- We think it's
Energon starvation.

Hold still.

Whoa. I've never seen an
Energon level this low.

How were you even able to
transform this morning?

A quick infusion
will do the trick.

It'll give you a boost
till we get home.

Thrash!

- That's her blaster.

She must be...

- Wow! On your feet already.

Feel better?

Thrash?

Huh.

- Thrash?

- There's Twitch.

- But what's she doing?

- I don't know.

Low Energon levels
don't do that.

Thrash, Twitch.

Why don't we all just
stop attacking the ground?

What do you say?

- Thrash, I know
you can hear me.

- It's us, your
brother and sister.

- We're sorry if we
hurt your feelings.

We just want you to
come back home with us.

Please.

- Twitch?

- Get back where it's safe.

Thrash? Twitch?

- Over there.

Oh, no.

Wake up. Please.

- I don't understand.

His Energon level's
hardly changed.

- But you just gave him some.

- And Twitch hardly has any.

- Are they gonna be okay?

- Stay here.

I'll find us a way out.

- Robby, I can't feel
them anymore at all.

This is all our fault.

- Come on!

Come on.

- I'm not letting
you go, Thrash,

because it's not time to go.

We still have so
much to show you,

like, you've never
seen my favorite movie.

You've never even
had a birthday.

- We'll be lost without you.

Can't you feel that?

- Thrash?

Robby, look.

- Whoo-hoo! I feel amazing!

Better than amazing! Is
there a word for that?

It should be called me.

I am ready to shred!

Hey, when did you
guys remodel the barn?

- I knew you couldn't leave us.

- You're not gonna
believe what I...

How did... but you...

I mean, I'm glad
you're feeling better.

Whoo-hoo!

Hold still!

And that is even
weirder than before.

Energon levels are still
almost nonexistent,

but you're on overdrive.

How can that be?

- Maybe Terrans just use less?

- We can ask dad what he
thinks when we get home.

- First, let me show
you what I found.

- Cave paintings?

- Ancient Cybertronian writing.

There's something
special about this place.

- Huh. It kinda
reminds me of our cave.

You know, where we met you.

- Maybe that's
why you came here.

- I don't really remember
anything after recess.

- You and Thrash were
attacking the ground above us,

like when Robby's hangry
and attacks the fridge.

- Hmm, so you were hungry, just
not for Energon like I thought.

- They aren't from Cybertron.

Makes sense they
need to recharge

with something from Earth.
- Water!

- Humans need it.

I guess Terrans do, too.

- But there's plenty
of water at home.

Why didn't we just go there?

- Wish I knew.

All right, let's head back.

- Careful climbing
out. It's kinda...

- Whoo!

Transformers style!
- Whoo-hoo!

- Hoo-hoo! Bet I can
jump higher than you.

- Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

- Cave water is life fuel.

- Show off.
- Whoo-hoo!

- Next time you two
need re-charging,

we know where to send you.

- Sort of like your
own private spa party.

- That reminds
me, sorry you guys

had to miss your pool party.
- Whoa, party?

What are you talking about?
- Mo and Robby

ditched their new friends
to search for you.

- You did?
- Duh.

You're family.

Sorry if it didn't
feel that way today.

- We could drop you off at your
party, if it's not too late.

- That's okay.
We don't wanna go

anywhere you're not invited.

- No, you were right.

We need to get used to doing
human stuff on your own.

- Just like you'll
have to get used to us

doing Bot things
without you, like, um...

- Climbing mountains in search
of secret energy springs.

- You better not
leave us out of that.

- I've never been
to a pool party.

Will there be lots
of pools there?

- Don't mind me.

I'll make it back on my own.

It's okay.

Well, guess I'm not
on my own after all.

Huh, okay, but no teeth.

Ow!
