Robots (GBA)/Transcript

*Rodney: Wow! I'm finally here in the city. Now, I just have to find Bigweld Industries and meet the man himself. I know he'll want to see my Wonderbot invention.
*Thug Robot: Hey, you! My friend here is injured. Seems like his leg needs a new sprocket.
*Thug Robot 2: Yeah, a new sprocekt.
*Thug Robot: Why don't you help us out and look for it? Start by looking down in the lower section. 
*Rodney: Maybe there's an elevator around here. I know I can't fit through the bars, but I bet Wonderbot can. 
*Thug Robot: Silly robot, there's nothing wrong with either of us.
*Thug Robot 2: Yeah, nothing.
*Thug Robot: So now we're gonna turn you into scrap metal! Madame Gasket is always looking for more scrap. 
*Rodney: This city doesn't seem like the place I thought it would be. I better get to the bottom of what's going on around here. I'm sure Bigweld will be able to strighten things out. 
*Red Robot: Oh, you found my Gyroscope! Thank you so much! I'll give you this place I found as you seem to be a creative 'bot. I bet you can make good idea use of it. 
*Lady Robot: Hey, I'm an inventor too! I'm trying to build the world's first macro computer. It's going to be as big as a house and add 2+2 in a matter of seconds! All I need is a Diode Array, which are in short supply. Want to find one for me while I do some mental calculations? 
*Rodney: Wow! This is it! Bigweld Industries!
*Tim: Hey! Yoo-hoo! Can I help you? 
*Rodney: It's Tim from the Bigweld TV Show!
*Tim: That's me! You want an autograph? What do you want?
*Rodney: Well, I came to see Bigweld . I'm an inventor and...
*Tim: Oh, why didn't you say so? Let me open the gate for you. Gotcha! Ha, ha, ha! You should see your face. You were and then BAM! Okay, okay, I had my fun. Please, go on in. Whoo-hooo! You fell for it twice in a row! Fact is kid, nobody gets in. Company rules.
*Rodney: Company rules? Then who's going to invent new things? 
*Tim: They don't. Those days are long gone! 
*Rodney: I didn't come all this way for nothing. I have to find Bigweld and see what this is all about. I'm sure he'd want to see my invention. 
*Lady Robot 2: I lost the spring in my step the other day when my Turbocharger cam unsprung. Now, I just feel listless the entire day. As if I'm tired from doing nothing. 
*Green Robot: Bigweld Industries stopped making Sprockets, and I need a new one. Do you have an extra one?
*Rusty Robot: I used to be the fastest 'bot in this part of the city. But since my Roller Bearing broke, I'm as slow as a turtle. 
*Rodney: Oh, no! The security patrol!
*Security Robot: Halt! This is restricted area. No unauthorized robots allowed.
*Rodney: Now, I can jump further with some helo from the Wonderbot. 
*Ratchet: Upgrades, people...upgrades! That's how we make money. We have to staert making robots feel crummy about themselves, otherwise why would they want to look better? 
*Black Robot: Mmm...yes.
*Ratchet: I've come up with a new slogan: Why be YOU when you can be NEW? In my opnion, it's sheer genius. But, what do you think about?
*Black Robot: Best slogan ever! Incredible. I never would have thought of it.
*Cappy: It gave me the chills.
*Ratchet: Thank you. Thank you very much.
*Cappy: I was wondering though, why would robots buy new upgrades when parts are cheaper?
*Ratchet: Well, that's easy. As of today, we will no longer MAKe spare parts. 
*Rodney: Pardon me. I'm so sorry. 
*Ratchet: What is going on...
*Rodney: I am an inventor. It's been a lifelong dream to show Bigweld my ideas...Bigweld isn't here?
*Ratchet: Bigweld left me in charge while he's away. 
*Rodney: Well, let me show you some...
*Ratchet: I have a better idea! Our Hospitaility Director will give you the VIP tour. What do you call a robot who can't afford upgrades? Scrap Metal! Ha, ha, ha. HA, HA, HA!
*Rodney: Well, I guess I better get moving. Who is this Ratchet? And where is Bigweld? 
*Light Green Robot: Have you seen a missing Nanoscope anywhere? I've been walking all around the city and seem to have misplaced it. That's my Nanoscope alright! Thanks for finding it. Like I promised, here's your reward.
*Purple Robot: I've been edgy ever since I lost one of my beloved Bevel Gears. Have you seen it? Terrific, you found it! Now I can take the edge off and use my Bevel Gear. Here, I found this eariler. Seems like you can make good use of it. 
*Fender: That sweeper nearly got us! I ran so fast, my lower chassis is twisted backward. 
*Rodney: Here, let me help you with that...Just a little more...There, it's fixed. 
*Fender: I'm Fender. Who are you?
*Rodney: Rodney Copperbottom. I came to the city to meet Bigweld... 
*Piper: Ha, ha, haa.
*Crank: Ha, ha, haa.
*Lugnut: Whhaaa ha ha.
*Diesel: ...(brkzz)...(brkzz)...
*Fender: Bigweld? Does he even exist any more?
*Piper: He's just some old wires' tales nowadays . He used to care about us.
*Crank: I've heard that they did in Bigweld and left us to break down. That's why there's no spare parts anymore.
*Rodney: I'm positive Bigweld wouldn't put up with this. Something is strange about his absence, though.
*Fender: We're heading over to Jack Hammer's soon. Why don't you meet us there? If you want to take a break, Aunt Fan is inside. Just tell her you're a friend of the Rusties. Aunt Fan is waiting inside. 
*Piper: She would love to meet you, Rodney. Why don't you go inside?
*Aunt Fanny: Oh, hello. I'm Aunt Fan. WHo are you?
*Rodney: I'm Rodney Copperbottom. Fender and the Rusties said I should come here and meet with you. 
*Aunt Fanny: Ah. Well, any friend of the Rusties is a friend of mine. While you're here, why don't you take a look at the gallery. There are some many, many pictures spread throughout the city. When you find one, it appears here, so feel free to visit me anytime. 
*Jack Hammer: You must be Rodney. The Rusties just left a few minutes ago and said you'd be coming by. I'm Jack Hammer and this is my store, Jack Hammer's!
*Rodney: Seems like you have a shortage of parts lately as well.
*Jack Hammer: You're right. I've been getting a lot of upgrade items from Bigwweld Industries though. Seems like they're more interested in people looking better than actually working better. At the moment though, I do have a bit of dilemma. I have a bunch of customer's inside clamoring for oil. Would you go in and serve them? I need to take a break. Well, if you ever want to give me a hand, you know where I am. 
*Light Green Robot: You found it! A Helical Gear! Now I can spin myself into a whirlwind. Here's a small token of my appreciation. 
*Lady Robot: Ahhhh. Much better. I'll just use some of this Coolant ow and save some for later. Why don't you take this. I found it the other day while walking around the city. 
*Female Robot: The microscope's Minizistor just blew out. I'm studying microinzects in this section of the city for a robo-entomology class. 
*Female Robot 2: Great! Let me just cinch it...here. It's the bes Fan Belt I've ever owned. Take this for a job well done. 
*Black Robot: Watch me cut-a-rug! I haven't seen Ratchet, I've been too busy getting' down! I heard Ratchet say that no one can crash this party. 
*Cappy: Rodney! What are you doing here?
*Rodney: I was hoping to see Bigweld.
*Cappy: Well, be careful. Ratchet is around here somewhere. I'm doing my best to avoid him. 
*Black Robot: Have you seen the bar around here? I hear the real action is upstairs. Unfortunately, that elevator is stuck halfway, and that's the only way up. 
*(Ratchet arrives)
*Ratchet: You! What are you doing here?
*Rodney: I came to see Bigweld. Where is he?
*Ratchet: He couldn't make it, but he sent his regrets. Speaking of regrets, you're gonna be sorry because party crashers aren't welcome. Guards, get him! 
*Rodney: I can use Wonderbot to zip along on thos suspended lines. 
*Male Robot: Brrrr. It's so cold out here, I can feel the chill down to my wires. All of my Electro Insulator has worn out. Do you have any idea where I can get any? 
*Cappy: It seems like the spark has gone out of my life. I feel drained. I've been putting off getting a new Power Battery for so long because of the expense, but now I can't even find any around the city. A new Power Battery! And just in the nick of time. I was starting to freeze up. I don't have much to give you in return, but take this. You might find it useful. 
*Rodney: Bigweld! It's really you! I've looked everywhere for you. There's a terrible crisis going on!
*Bigweld: You bet there is. I'll be working on these dominoes for another year before I'm done.
*Rodney: Dominoes? 
*Bigweld: Yeah, you know, white tiles with black spots? I'm sure you've seen them before. Want to help? You start at the other end and I'll check up on you in a year. 
*Rodney: Is this what you've been working on all this time!? This is why no one sees you.
*Bigweld: Kid, there comes a time when you know you're locked and have to give up. 
*Rodney: give up? And let Ratchet continue to turn robots into outmodes? You're Bigweld, you can fix anything...
*Bigweld: I used to think so, too, but things are different now. I started Bigweld Industries to make things better for all robots. Ratchet is only interested in making money Ratchet's the future, I'm the past... obsolete... old fashioned. And it seems that everyone else thinks so, too.
*Rodney: I don't think you're old fashioned! I believed in youand thought you'd help put a stop to Ratchet. If you don't do anything, how can you expect anyone else to care?
*Bigweld: Like I said, there's nothing I can do. 
*Rodney: Well, there's something I can do! I'm going to Bigweld Industries to fight back! 
*Bigweld: Just don't knock over any dominoes on your way out! Kid, I've had a change of heart. If you're gonna fight back, I'm gonna fight back with you! 
*Rodney: You... You are?
*Bigweld: Darn tootin'. Tim, open the gate. 
*Tim: Yes, sir. 
*Bigweld: Okay, I'm heading up to the boardroom at the top. Meet me up there, and we'll take care of Ratchet. 
*Tim: Good luck, kiddo. You're gonna need it. 
*Gold Robot: Things are getting hot around here! Seems like my Fan Motor is acting up lately and I'm having such a difficult time finding a replacement. It's as if the whole city is sold out. Can you help me find a new one? 
*(Bigweld arrives)
*Bigweld: Ratchet!
*Ratchet: Uh...Bigweld...What are you doing here? Did you run out of dominoes?
*Bigweld: You're fired!
*Ratchet: Fired? No, please, wait. I love this job. It means everything to me. You don't realize what I've done to get here. The countless lies I've told numerous lives I've ruined. Uh, Strike those last remarks.
*Bigweld: Get me security! 
*Ratchet: Hold it! 
*(Wonderbot and Rodney arrives)
*Rodney: Bigweld!
*Bigweld: You don't understand. This job means everything to me. The jibes I took, the lights I sold. 
*Rodney: You don't look so good. Let's get out of here! Bigweld. Bigweld!
*Bigweld: Oh. It's a whole new world! What happened? Everything is a blur. 
*Rodney: We just had a close encounter with Ratchet. But, we're safe now.
*Bigweld: Rodney my boy, I hadn't been feeling like myself for some time. But now you've fixed me up as good as new. Here's an upgrade for your Wonderbot, because your work isn't done. 
*Rodney: Now I can drill down to hidden areas with help from the Wonderbot. 
*Bigweld: Now you have to find the Chop Shop, the horrible factory that Ratchet created with his mother. 
*Rodney: His mother?
*Bigweld: She has very questionable parenting skills. Head down to the lowest part of the Outmode area and you'll find the hidden entrance to the Chop shop. Good luck Rodney, all of robotkind is counting on you. 
*Rodney: These floors are cracked. Very suspicious. 
*Dark Blue Robot: A Lightbub for me? Wait, let me install it... here... I can see! Thanks for your help. Take this as thanks, it should shed some light on your problems..
