It made Bumblebee sad to think about him, so he didn’t answer. Narrator 1: Sideswipe was a fast robot. At that moment, he was driving too fast around Cybertron. Strongarm: Stop going so fast! Narrator 2: But Bumblebee wasn’t thinking about Sideswipe. Suddenly, he could see Optimus’s face in some water. Optimus Prime: You must go to Earth, Bumblebee! The people need you there! Narrator 1: Bumblebee used a space bridge to travel to Earth. He didn’t know Strongarm and Sideswipe were following him until he arrived there. Strongarm: It’s my job to stay with you.

Sideswipe: No, we won’t! (Sideswipe runs off.) Narrator 2: A few minutes later, Bumblebee and Strongarm met a small robot called Fixit. He was happy to see them. Fixit: I was taking two hundred bad robots to Cybertron, but our spaceship fell to Earth. All the bad robots ran away! Bumblebee: We have to find those bad robots and stop them from (to Strongarm) hurting the people on Earth. Narrator 1: At the same time, Russell was helping his dad Denny in his scrapyard. Narrator 2: Russell hated the scrapyard. It was boring, and he never had any adventures there. Narrator 1: Suddenly, there was a very loud sound from over in the trees. Russell: What was that? Narrator 2: He walked into the forest to find out. Narrator 1: In the forest, Russell saw Sideswipe. He felt very frightened, because he was seeing a robot for the first time! Narrator 2: Sideswipe was afraid too, because he was seeing a boy for the first time! Narrator 1: But when Underbite suddenly came around the rocks, they were both much more afraid of him!

He was very BIG and very ANGRY. Underbite: I eat metal to get strong. Once, I ate a whole city! Narrator 1: Sideswipe and Russell started to run. Underbite was following them. Then, Sideswipe suddenly changed into a car. Russell was very surprised! Underbite: I eat metal, remember? Narrator 2: Russell jumped in and Sideswipe drove away quickly. Narrator 1: The other Transformers saw Underbite, too! They changed into cars and quickly drove back to Fixit’s spaceship, because Underbite was very strong and they could not fight him. Narrator 2: When they all arrived back at the spaceship, Fixit was happy to see them. But he was not happy to see Underbite! Bumblebee: Quick, hide! Fixit! Stay with him! Narrator 1: The Transformers began to fight Underbite. At that moment, Grimlock woke up. Grimlock was another bad robot from the spaceship. He wanted to fight Underbite. But Underbite saw the scrapyard through the trees. Underbite: Look at all that lovely metal! I feel hungry! (Underbite runs towards the scrapyard.) Russell: On no! My dad’s in the scrapyard! We have to stop Underbite!
