Everything is overwhelming and instantly familiar: Decepticon jets fly overhead, Autobots leaping over the road ahead of us, explosions all around. A large, robotic structure in the distance is powering up...

Suddenly a flash of Energon FLIES towards us, cracking like a whip, leaving a trail of destruction in its path.

It DESTROYS the front part of our vehicle--we're completely EXPOSED and out of control--an Autobot and Decepticon, grappling, TUMBLE right in front of us! They narrowly miss us...		DRIVERThe job is Search and Rescue: we're looking for anyone who's somehow still out in this...We're headed back in for some Search and Rescue--looking for folks who haven't been evac'ed yet…

Optimus AppearsOut of control, we're headed towards a crater--when a massive BIG RIG appears through the smoke and debris and chaos directly in front of us. It's headed right for us!

We brace for a head-on collision when the rig LEAPS into the air in front of us, transforming into OPTIMUS PRIME.

Prime hits the ground with a massive IMPACT, right in front of us! He catches our vehicle in his massive hand and leans in close.		OPTIMUS PRIMEI am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots...
