Selling the Earth for 250 Bucks
For a high school student, their first car is incredibly significant, even if it's a used car with the paint almost completely worn out. Sam hopped on his mom's bicycle, frantically chasing after his Chevrolet Camaro while calling the police to report it stolen.
"I need to call the police. My car has been stolen, and I'm chasing it. All units and squadrons need to mobilize; call everyone in..."
"I'm sure! Wait a minute... I need to correct you, there's no one in the car, it started moving by itself."
"Don't hang up, I'm going to call the police. My car drove off by itself."
"Beep beep beep..."
The call was disconnected. Sam wasn't sure if the police would respond, so he chased after the car alone. He had watched his goddess leave today, and he couldn't let the car leave too, or he would truly have nothing left.
Sam followed the Chevrolet to a dilapidated iron ore factory. There was no need to wonder why the two-wheeled human-powered bicycle hadn't been outpaced by the Cybertron Silicon-based lifeforms; those were not the point.
The key point is that Sam witnessed his used car transform into a giant robot over five meters tall, which, like summoning Batman, projected a signal beam into the sky, the image of which was a mechanical face.
Sam records a video, beginning a daily routine rarely America, tiptoeing towards the giant robot. He transforms into a brave and fearless warrior, ready to uncover the world's secrets and reveal them to every citizen who has the right to know the truth.
Sam took the first step, and then... triggered the 'Beware of Dogs' trap, and was chased by two ferocious dogs.
It was a real vicious dog, not the kind of vicious dogs like the Siberian Husky trio or little puppies. Just as Sam was about to be pounced on by the vicious dog, the police arrived at the scene.
Meanwhile, the Decepticon member 'Confusion,' disguised as a stereophonic speaker, successfully boarded Air Force One, downloaded a large number of classified documents, found information on Captain Witwicky, and confirmed the location of the glasses containing the coordinates of the AllSpark through eBay.
The holder is Sam Witwicky!
Because it was a face-to-face transaction, the auction information for the glasses was still online. Poor Sam, even though he lost his glasses, was still being targeted by the Decepticon.
Sam's father received a call and rushed to the police station in his pajamas. Because Sam's remarks were so shocking, the police suspected that he had overdosed on nitrous oxide and had made a false police report in the middle of the night to disrupt order.
The police have a knack for dealing with these naughty kids who don't study and only know how to have fun. They just put a hood over their heads and give them a good Iron Fist.
Sam tried to explain, but no one believed him. The only evidence he had was the cell phone that recorded the video, which he had left behind at the iron ore mine while being chased by a dog. He was tormented by the police all night, subjected to a urine test and intimidation, and finally managed to leave the police station after his father paid a large fine.
Sam was going crazy. He went home to catch up on sleep, but he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, wondering what had happened to Mikaela the night before. Just then, the familiar roar of a car engine sounded again; the missing used car had returned.
Sam, a teenager in the throes of puberty with a sharp mind, believes that his attempt to uncover the truth of the Inner World has angered the hidden mastermind, who sends a car robot to assassinate him. Unable to get help from the police, he has no choice but to get on the bicycle.
Unlike last night, today he was the one being chased by cars!
This was Bumblebee's deliberate act. Without Optimus Prime's permission, he couldn't reveal his whereabouts, so he used this method to drive Sam away from the city.
Bumblebee was ordered by Optimus Prime to protect the safety of the AllSpark Coordinate owner. Now that the glasses have been traded, he doesn't know whether he should continue to protect Sam.
If they leave now, Sam will surely be killed by the ruthless Decepticon, which is not the way the Autobots do things. But if they stay to protect Sam, the person who actually has the glasses will be in danger again.
As an outstanding warrior, Bumblebee decides to carry out the original plan first, and then let Optimus Prime decide the outcome when he arrives on Earth.
After cycling for half an hour, Sam finally shook off Bumblebee in the suburbs. The past two days had left him physically and mentally exhausted. If he could turn back time, he would never spend $4,000 to buy a beat-up Chevrolet Camaro.
Because this car was so bad, his goddess ended up in another man's supercar; because this car was running around at night for no reason, he ended up spending a night in the police station; because of this car, he discovered the truth of the world, was blacklisted by the mastermind behind it all, and now even the police are using secret weapons to eliminate him, the insider.
Sam had this bizarre idea because he encountered Barricade, a Decepticon member who disguised himself as a modified Ford Mustang police car and played tricks on Sam like a cat to a mouse.
Judging from the white paint on his car that says "bullying the good," you can tell this guy is a Decepticon with a twisted sense of humor!
Sam was unaware that Cybertron had two factions: the Autobots and the Decepticon. He only knew that he had just sold his used car and was now being targeted by Super Prowl. Since they were both cars, Barricade and Bumblebee didn't seem very different to him, and he assumed they belonged to the same faction.
"Damn it! I just filmed a video and haven't even had a chance to upload it yet. Is it really necessary to use such high-tech weapons to silence me?" Sam ran even faster as he watched the large robot charging towards him. He had been doing this almost every day for the past two days.
Just like in a role-playing game on the GBA, Sam's speed drops drastically without his bicycle, and he's caught up from behind by a roadblock, who grabs him by the collar and throws him onto the hood of a wrecked car.
"Oh my God! I must still be having a nightmare. Mikaela didn't get on the bus either. Yes, that's it. Someone wake me up!" Sam screamed like a girl as he watched the roadblock stride toward him.
Boom!!
Barricade slammed his fist on the ground, interrupting Sam's scream, and roared, "Is your eBay username 'Hot_Boy_217'?"
What did you say?
Sam was dumbfounded. Was the reason he was being hunted down not because he was trying to reveal the truth, but because some big shot had registered an eBay username and discovered that the name 'Hot_Boy_217' was already being used by him?
This guy is being way too serious. 'Wanrenmi 218' is a great song too!
Is your username 'Hot_Boy_217'?
Barricade raised his fist, his scarlet electronic eye glaring at Sam. If Sam dared to utter another word, he would smash him flat with one punch.
"No, no, don't do it. I am Hot_Boy_217, that's my username."
"Where are your glasses? Where is your online auction item 21153?" Roadblock's voice was filled with violent heavy metal noise, giving the impression that he could destroy everything at any moment.
"It's sold!"
Faced with violent tyranny, Sam was very pragmatic. Although he didn't understand why the country was deploying super robots just to investigate a pair of glasses, he still gave an honest answer.
"Who did you sell it to?"
"Sold to Luo..."
Sam was speaking when the screech of tires screeching against the ground suddenly rang out, and a crumpled yellow Chevrolet Camaro appeared, heading straight for the roadblock.
The electronic eye at the roadblock scanned the area, and the Energy Gun was raised and fired. An explosion, black smoke, and red flames covered the location of the Chevrolet.
"No, my $4,000!"
As Sam let out a pitiful wail, a series of mechanical 'chirping' sounds rang out, and Bumblebee transformed into a giant robot, bursting out of the smoke and punching Barricade in the face.
Boom!
The two robots rolled together, smashed through the wall, and fell to the other side, beginning a primal hand-to-hand combat.
Sam screamed, tumbled off the car, and ran for his life. He didn't know where to go, but running was the right thing to do.
Bumblebee and Barricade engaged in a fierce fight, their fighting abilities nearly evenly matched, making it difficult to determine a winner. Bumblebee's arm transformed into Energy Gun, blasting Barricade's energy shield and sending him flying. Bumblebee then transformed back into Chevrolet Camaro and chased after Sam.
Roadblock, feeling dizzy and disoriented, fell to the ground. After getting up, he spat out a mouthful of engine oil. Determined not to give up until he achieved his goal, he roared and transformed into Ford police car, giving chase.
After the two left, the stereo speaker in the corner transformed, shaking its head and chuckling. "Russell... the only bidder for the glasses, hehehe, too easy."
Under the night sky, Sam stood in front of the wilderness gazing at the stars, with Bumblebee transformed into a robot beside him.
Four meteors streaked across the sky, passing through the atmosphere and leaving long, fiery tails as they roared and whistled Sam before crashing heavily to the ground with tremendous force.
"You are Sam Witwicky, a descendant of Bor Witwicky?"
"Yes, I am Sam Witwicky. Who...who are you?" Surrounded by five giant robots, Sam was a little nervous.
"I am Optimus Prime, a mechanical life form from Cybertron, and these are my comrades." Out of respect, Optimus Prime half-squatted down and introduced everyone one by one, finally saying, "We came to Earth to find the AllSpark, and we must get there before Megatron."
"The AllSpark? Megatron?"
"Megatron is the leader of the Decepticon..."
Optimus Prime used a 3D projection to show the current state of Cybertron, explaining the importance of the AllSpark, and also recounting the war and conflicts between the Autobots and Decepticon. He stated that if Megatron obtained the AllSpark, Earth would become a Decepticon arsenal. He said solemnly, "Sam, those glasses are very important. They contain the location of the AllSpark. This is not an exaggeration; the fate of Earth is in your hands."
Sam: "..."
You might not believe it, but I sold the Earth for $250!
"Good evening, sir... Beach sunglasses... Big sale right now... We offer door-to-door service, cash on delivery... Give me the money!" Bumblebee chimed in, informing Optimus Prime the sunglasses had already been sold.
Because of a malfunctioning language system, Bumblebee could only communicate via the car radio. This wasn't a big problem, Optimus Prime miraculously understood.
"Sam, who bought the glasses?"
Sam: "..."
I'm sorry, I don't want to mention that name.
Seeing Sam remain silent, Optimus Prime was puzzled. "Bumblebee, what's wrong with him?"
"Beach sunglasses...bikini girl...come and buy them now...get lost, kid, she's mine now." Bumblebee told Optimus Prime in the intercepted audio that the person who bought the glasses had also taken the girl Sam liked with him.
Optimus Prime nodded. The wise leader saw through the truth and chose to keep it to himself, saying, "Bumblebee, do you know who bought the glasses?"
"Of course, I love you!"
Optimus Prime nodded again, then lowered his head and said, "Sam, there's nothing more for you here. We'll go find Glasses. You can take a taxi home!"
Sam: "..."
