View of the Monster Hive

> *"The first thing I discovered was a massive metal door. On it was odd writing, just like the ancient writing in the How To Make a Monster book the gang had found in Old Man Wickles' library. I yanked hard on the door handle but it wouldn’t budge." - Shaggy, Chapter 11 (Shaggy)*
>
>

**The Monster Hive** is a location in all versions of Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. It is connected to Jonathan Jacobo's Lab, where many potions can be found.

## History

### Transformers

Shaggy, wandering around the underground laboratory under the Coolsville Mining Town, finds a big metal door with "weird letters" above it. He tries to show Scooby, but discovers he had drank a weird potion from a refrigerator and transformed into a freaky monster.

After drinking more potions, Buff Shaggy throws the "Highly Combustible" Potion that Scooby Brainiac had created at the metal door. This causes an explosion, creating a hole in the door.

Fred, Daphne, and Velma, who are with Old Man Wickles, hear the explosion and rush down to the lab. They first notice the newly created hole before turning around to find Buff Shaggy and Scooby Brainiac stuck to the wall. After they transform back into their normal forms, Velma translates the "weird Letters" above the door:

> *"Beware who enters Monster Hive... Inside your fears may come alive."*
>
>

While the Monster Hive becomes an important location for the rest of the film, its connection to The Potions Scene ends here.

### Chapter 11 (Shaggy)

A similar series of events happens in the book, leading to the door to the monster hive being blown open.

### Mutate Madness

A similar series of events takes place in the game. However the entrance to the Monster Hive is hidden behind a wall and there is no door. The Monster hive is only revealed by an explosion, this time caused by an unknown source as no potion is thrown at the wall.

## Trivia

* In the "Scooby-Doo's Triple Threat Featurette" on the DVD, one of the production designers Bill Boes mentions the "Monster Hive" set, and one of the shots shown is actually inside Jonathan Jacobo's Lab. This could just be a mistake or them referring to the lab as part of the Monster Hive rather than a separately named room.
Shot 21

The **21st Shot** in Transformers.

## Summary

Shaggy Chick turns back to the fridge.

This shot has no dialogue.

*Amazon:* *... Tasmanian Devil.*

## Purpose

This shot shows Shaggy's escalated fear and panic as he quickly reattempts to find an antidote. It also continues to demonstrate Shaggy's exaggeratedly feminine movements he now has, as he gestures toward the fridge with his breasts (sticking out his chest) before searching through the fridge. This is in contrast with Shot 12, in which he simply approaches the fridge and leans forward, as the average person likely would, without sticking out his chest.
Shot 9

The **9th Shot** in Transformers.

## Summary

Scooby's stomach growls, as some of his new tentacles are now holding potions.

This shot has no dialogue.

*Amazon:* *... fat green monster with tentacles and eyes on stalks.*

## Purpose

This shot is more zoomed out than Shot 8 and reveals Scooby's monster body from the neck down, showing just how freaky it is. It also shows how extensive the effects of only one scoop of a potion can be on a drinker. As Scooby lifts his tentacles, it's revealed that he's holding several additional potions, implying he plans to drink more.
Xanthe Paige

**Xanthe Paige** is an Australian actor and voice over artist. She provided the narration for the audio description on the film's release on HBO Max.

## Involvement

While Xanthe Paige is mostly known for her theatre and acting career, she is also does work in voiceover and AD narration.

According to her, she was requested to record the AD for Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed by WGBH, who have their own Descriptive Audio Service (DAS) team. This recording took place in June of 2021, which was during the COVID-19 pandemic. This meant she was limited to the amount of in-person recordings she could do, and had to record the narration from her home studio.

## Trivia

* Due to the lack of credentials in the official film's release, there was a long period where it was unknown who supplied the voice for this narration.
Jonathan Jacobo

**Jonathan Jacobo** is a character in Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. While he is never seen in The Potions Scene, he is the creator of the potions Scooby-Doo and Shaggy drink in the scene.

## History

Before the film's events, Dr. Jonathan Jacobo dressed up as the Pterodactyl Ghost to pull off robberies. After being arrested as a result of Mystery Inc., he swore revenge. He spent the next few years attempting a way to create real monsters, eventually finding success with The Monster Hive. Possibly because of these complex experiments, he has a big collection of various potions around his lab. Eventually, Shaggy and Scooby find this lab and begin to sample the various potions.

## Trivia

* Throughout most of the movie, Jonathan Jacobo is disguised as a woman: Heather Jasper Howe. This mirrors one of his potion's effects, which changes the subject's body to a woman's from the neck down. However, this connection is never directly mentioned in the movie itself, meaning this is possibly just a strange coincidence.
	+ In most scenes, Heather Jasper Howe wears an outfit that shows a different body type to Jacobo in his flashbacks, being a skinny female one (not unlike Shaggy Chick). But during his unmasking, his cloak is too big to determine which body he had at that time. Considering the potion's effects still keep the head the same, and he wears a mask, this further adds to the idea that he only changed his body from his neck down.
	+ Ned (his assistant, who didn't know Heather was Jacobo in disguise) mentioned the two "cuddled", meaning he should have noticed him being male if they were that close. So perhaps Jacobo used the potion to make his lower body female for these moments.
* Jacobo's reasoning behind making any of the other potions is unclear. It's said that most of his experiments were related to creating monsters, not changing the forms of normal people. It's possible he himself didn't even know their effects, or perhaps used the potions as raw materials to create his monsters, evident by both the potions and the monsters producing strange green smoke.
Get Ready For This

**Get Ready For This** (also known as **Get Ready** or **Get Ready 4 This**) is a song from the soundtrack of Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. It was created by 2 Unlimited.

It plays during the Transformers scene, once Buff Shaggy appears and ends once Buff Shaggy causes an explosion.

## Description

This song is often associated with sporting events, such as basketball and wrestling. Since this plays once Shaggy bulks up into Buff Shaggy, the musical choice seems to fit his new body type.

## Version

   The version used in the film is not the original used on the film's soundtrack, since there are no lyrics during the scene. It also begins with a clip of Michael Buffer saying "let's get ready to rumble", like he professionally does at sporting events.

This voice clip is actually a separate track called "**Let's Get Ready To Rumble**" from the "ESPN Jock Jams Volume 1" CD, which leads directly into the next track, being "Get Ready for This" (although now retitled "Get Ready 4 This").

Along with that, the song is also slightly edited to better fit the scene. The first "ya'll ready for this" is heard quicker than it should, and the song's end in shot 37 is also edited slightly.

## Trivia

* This song is used prominently in Space Jam, another live action-animated movie based off classic Warner Bros. cartoon characters.
	+ As said before, the song was included in a compilation CD of sports related songs released by ESPN called "Jock Jams", adding more to how much it is connected to Buff Shaggy's persona.
* Within the scene, this song is non-diegetic music, meaning the characters within the scene can't hear it while we the audience can. This is opposed to diegetic music that both the characters and audience hear in other parts of the film, such as "Baby Got Back" and "Thank You (Falletin Me Be Mice Elf Agin)".
Shot 19

The **19th Shot** in Transformers.

## Characters

* Shaggy
* Shaggy Chick

## Summary

## Transcript

*Shaggy: I'm okay, Scoob.*

*A woman's body in a green crop top.*

## Purpose

This shot reveals Shaggy's "chick's body" form, starting above the neck before it finishes to again fool the audience into thinking he is perfectly fine. At the end, it also shows Shaggy's fear of whatever Scooby's new form is off-screen.

## Trivia

* This is the first shot of the scene with Shaggy Chick.
* This shot has several mistakes.
	+ If you look closely, you can actually see a part of Shaggy's shirt collar change to a feminine one.
	+ When the camera zooms out, Shaggy Chick's shoulder mistakingly gets cut off.
	+ When the camera zooms out, there appears to be a small black dot near the middle of Shaggy Chick's sternum. When he turns around, it vanishes, suggesting it may have been placed there for motion tracking purposes.
	+ Despite clearly seeing the elevator go up in Shot 5, The elevator platform and lights can be seen behind Shaggy Chick in the Mirror. The elevator platform disappears again in Shot 20.
Shot 5

The **5th Shot** in Transformers.

## Characters

* Shaggy
* Scooby-Doo

## Summary

## Purpose

* This is the only shot where a character walks out of frame, being Shaggy.
	+ His reflection can be seen on the fridge briefly near the end.
	+ Shot 41 has Daphne leave frame as well, but reenters it shortly after.
Shot 29

The **29th Shot** in Transformers.

## Summary

Scooby Brainiac realizes his intelligence and starts mixing potions.

## Transcript

*Scooby Brainiac:* *My God. It seems as if I've become ludicrously intelligent.*

## Purpose

This shot properly introduces Scooby's new intelligence by having him speak large words in fluent english. He also instantly begins grabbing potions, foreshadowing his intention to make a potion before he states it.

## Trivia

* This shot is the only appearance of the Red Potion.
Shot 55

The **55th Shot** in Transformers.

## Purpose

This shot continues from Shot 51, with Scooby clearly remembering his experience. It's clear he doesn't remember exactly how he was so smart, but does remember what he did when he was. This shot ends the scene as the next shot of Velma reading the strange markings leads directly into the next event and thus the next scene.

## Trivia

* This is the last shot of the scene with Scooby.
* This is the last shot of Transformers.
Shot 6

The **6th Shot** in Transformers.

## Characters

* Shaggy
* Scooby-Doo

## Summary

Scooby opens the refrigerator, finding a wide array of potions. He confuses one for lemonade and scoops some up with his tongue. His nose suddenly bulges and he begins to shake violently.

## Transcript

*Scooby: Mmmm, remonade!*

*Shaggy: Check it out.*

### Audio Description

*HBO Max:* *He peers at an assortment of colorful beakers.*

*Scooby slurps a yellow liquid. His snout swells.*

*Amazon:* *From inside, we see flasks of colorful liquid.*

*He drinks a yellow one.*

*And his face starts to change shape.*

## Purpose

This shot both shows the colorful potions inside the fridge for the first time and how consuming them can cause strange happenings to the drinker's body.

## Trivia

* This shot, specifically the part where Scooby licks the potion and his nose swelling, were used in a VHS promo advertising the film now playing in theaters.
* This is the only shot where a character walks into frame, being Shaggy.
	+ Shot 41 has Daphne enter frame as well, but only after she existed it prior.
* This shot was used in the "Thank You" music video.
Cutscene 3-1

The **1st Shot of the 3rd cutscene** in Mutate Madness.

## Summary

The wall next to the refrigerator explodes.

## Purpose

Similar to Shot 37 of Transformers, this shot introduces the explosion.

## Trivia

* This shot is named "explosion.bik" on the game disc, but it isn't the only cutscene that uses this explosion simulation; the same explosion simulation is used in the "end.bik" sequence.
* This is the only shot that is entirely pre-rendered, most likely because of the explosion simulation. This also causes it to be the only shot that has a lot of other traits.
	+ This is the only shot (in Mutate Madness) with no dialogue.
	+ This is the only shot to have no characters in it.
	+ This is the only shot that does not use the closing bar transition effect, instead using a fade.

Fred, Velma, and Daphne arrive at Jonathan Jacobo's Lab and see the damage.

*The gang runs past the laboratory tables and spots a huge hole in the wall.*

*Amazon:* *They get out of the elevator and run through smoke past bubbling experiments.*

*They see a hole in a huge door, then behind them.*

## Purpose

This shot cuts to the three already at the lab, not showing how they found the secret lab, which could imply it was left open after Shaggy and Scooby entered. The lab is now full of smoke with a hole in the solid wall, showing the aftermath of throwing the potion and adding confirmation to Scooby's claim that the potion was "highly combustible".

## Trivia

* This is the only shot where a character enters in and out of the frame, being Daphne who is briefly cut off as the camera pans away but walks back in moments later.
	+ Velma is almost cut off as well, but manages to stay in frame before then.
	+ This isn't the only shot to have a character leave or enter frame however, as shot 5 has Shaggy leave frame and shot 6 has him enter.

Buff Scooby

*Not to be confused with the form Shaggy takes in the Transformers scene, Buff Shaggy.*

## Appearances

### Portrayed by

Neil Fanning

> *"Yeah! I’m Buff!" - Buff Scooby, Mutate Madness*
>
>

**Buff Scooby** is a transformation of Scooby-Doo that can result from the purple, pink, orange, or green potion in Mutate Madness.

## Naming

This form is only ever described by Scooby as "buff". The name is derived from Buff Shaggy from most other versions, as this form is a reference to him.

## Appearance

He is based on Buff Shaggy from the film, since Shaggy does not drink any potions in the game. His muscles are much bigger than his normal form, notably on his upper body, and he now wears a sleeveless white tank-top and blue shorts. His body is more akin to a muscular human than a muscular dog.

## Personality

Still worried about his transformations, though happy to be so fit. His voice changes to something more tough sounding, which noticeably lacks Scooby's speech impediment.

## Abilities

### Increased Strength

It can be assumed that Buff Scooby's larger muscles are capable of carrying more weight and other similar benefits.

## History

In Shaggy's first attempt to cure Scooby of his transformations, he makes a potion of a certain color. This turns him from a freaky monster into a super muscular version of himself.

## Transformation Process

After consumption of the purple, pink, orange, or green potion potion, a black smoke cloud will appear, instantly turning him into Buff Scooby.

## Quotes

### Mutate Madness

> *Yeah! I’m Buff!*
>
>

## Trivia

* The model is referred to as "mutate1" in the files.
	+ This is odd, considering this is not the first transformation, but the second.
* This transformation can be seen on the thumbnail for Mutate Madness in the "Jump to Game" menu.
* The line "Yeah! I'm Buff!" is one of Buff Shaggy's lines in the original script.
Coolsville Mining Town

Outside of mining town

> *"Let's go!" - Velma, Transformers*
>
>

**Coolsville Mining Town** is a location in all versions of The Potion Scene. It is located above Jonathan Jacobo's Lab, where many potions are found.

## History

Scooby and Shaggy go to the mining town to look for clues. They run into The Skeleton Men, and inadvertently find a secret elevator to a huge laboratory underground.

Meanwhile, Fred, Velma, and Daphne soon arrive and confront Old Man Wickles who they think is the Masked Figure. They hear an explosion, and quickly leave to find the lab as well.

## Trivia

* The Britannia Mine Museum in British Columbia, Canada was used for the Coolsville Mining Town during filming.
* The PC and GameBoy Advance games both refer to this area using the name of the summer camp that Old Man Wickles pitches in the film.
Underwear Scooby

> *"Raaah!" - Underwear Scooby, Mutate Madness*
>
>

**Underwear Scooby** is a transformation of Scooby-Doo that can result from the purple, pink, orange, or green potion in Mutate Madness.

## Naming

This transformation is never directly referred to in any way, so the name "Underwear Scooby" is nonconjectural and just describes the clothing he wears.

## Appearance

Scooby has the hair and glasses of Scooby Brainiac from the film, but instead of being naked he is wearing blue underwear.

## Personality

His voice seems to be normal, only panicking about his constant transforming.

## History

In Shaggy's third attempt to cure Scooby of his transformations, he makes a potion of a certain color. This turns him from an intelligent nerd into a white haired, nearly naked version of himself.

## Transformation Process

After consumption of the purple, pink, orange, or green potion potion, a black smoke cloud will appear, instantly turning him into Underwear Scooby.

## Quotes

### Mutate Madness

> *Raaah!*
>
>

## Trivia

* The model is referred to as "mutate4" in the files.
* This is the only transformation that says nothing, apart from a scream.
* It's likely this form is a reference to a scene earlier in the film where Scooby snoops around Old Man Wickles' mansion for clues, and comes out with a bunch of useless items, including a pair of boxers he wears.
	+ The underwear in that scene, however, is white with red dots. He is also wearing a fedora and shades, neither of which are on this mutation.
Shot 52

The **52nd Shot** in Transformers.

## Characters

* Buff Shaggy
* Shaggy
* Velma

## Summary

Buff Shaggy transforms back into Shaggy.

*Shaggy:* *That was almost exactly like my freshman year in...*

*Amazon:* *... and glasses disappear and Shaggy's muscles shrink.*

## Purpose

Continuing from Shot 47, Shaggy finishes his involuntary transformation back to normal. He also recovers very quickly from his transformation's mental change, as he starts laughing and cracks a joke.

## Trivia

* This is the last shot of the scene with Buff Shaggy.
* This is the last shot of the scene with Velma.
Shot 27

The **27th Shot** in Transformers.

## Characters

* Tasmanian Devil Scooby
* Scooby Brainiac

## Summary

Tasmanian Devil Scooby transforms into Scooby Brainiac.

*Buff Shaggy: Check it out, dude!*

*Amazon:* *... himself but with white hair and eyebrows.*

## Purpose

This shot shows Scooby's transformation into his super intelligent form, although it is not obvious his form is intelligent yet. It also has Shaggy, in his buff form, shout like a dumb jock, foreshadowing his new personality.

## Trivia

* This is the first shot of the scene with Scooby Brainiac.
* This is the last shot of the scene with Tasmanian Devil Scooby.
Buff-O-Rama!

Front side of the card.

**Buff-O-Rama!** is card number "BL-2" from the Scooby-Doo Monsters Unleashed Trading Card Game. The card is one of three exclusive to box sets (dubbed "box loaders") and cannot be gotten through blind packs.

It is the only card based of the Transformers scene in Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.

## History

The picture on the card is of Buff Shaggy from Shot 28. Unlike other cards which detail whatever's pictured, the backside of this and other box loader cards has a quote instead. On Buff-O-Rama!, the quote is:

> *"Check out **MY** pecs **LITTLE MAN!!**" - Shaggy*
>
>

This quote is not from the shot pictured, and instead is from Shot 32.

While other cards mention The Potions Scene, this is the only one directly related to it.

## Trivia

* It's possible that only this part was chosen to become as card as to not spoil what happens in the scene, since Shot 28 is the only shot of the scene to be in prominent trailers for the film.
Fred

* Film
* Game

> *"What the heck?" - Fred, Chapter 11 (Shaggy)*
>
>

**Fred Jones** is a character from Scooby-Doo and a member of Mystery Inc. He is one of the three to find Scooby-Doo and/or Shaggy after they had drank some potions in all versions of The Potions Scene.

## History

After falsely accusing Old Man Wickles of stealing the monster costumes, they hear an explosion originating from Jonathan Jacobo's Lab underground. Along with Daphne and Velma, they rush to the hidden elevator and ride it into the lab to discover Scooby Brainiac and Buff Shaggy stuck to the wall (or normal Scooby and Shaggy in the game's case). They are stunned, but soon scold them after they transform back to their normal selves.

## Reaction

Fred is the quickest to run after the explosion. Like the others, his attention is first at the large hole in the wall before turning after Scooby announces their presence. He seems to focus on Buff Shaggy, tilting his head to look at his whole body. As they transform back, he goes wide eyed.

### Shaggy and Scooby-Doo

Once they transform back, Fred is angry that Shaggy and Scooby lied to them about staying home, and especially disappointed since they're a team.

### Buff Shaggy and Scooby Brainiac

Fred is shocked at both of them, confused as to why Shaggy is now buff and Scooby is speaking perfect english. Once they transform back, they don't mention either of these forms again. Given his reaction to Buff Shaggy specifically, it could imply that, being the most confident member and leader of Mystery Inc., he felt threatened by Shaggy's physique of a steroidal, pumped-up muscleman, which now completely dwarfed him.

### Daphne and Velma

All of them feel the same shock from hearing the explosion and anger from seeing that Shaggy and Scooby had lied to them.

### Old Man Wickles

Fred, along with Daphne and Velma, do not trust Old Man Wickles and believe he is the culprit behind everything. But, once they hear the explosion and go down into the lab, they find evidence against that and do not pursue that theory.

## Trivia

* His only line in the film scene, "Careful, gang", is typically not included in the subtitles of releases, meaning Fred can possibly say nothing the entire scene.
* Fred and Daphne narrate the name "Mutate Madness" in the game selection menu.
Shot 51

The **51st Shot** in Transformers.

## Characters

* Scooby Brainiac
* Scooby-Doo

## Summary

Scooby Brainiac transforms back into Scooby.

This shot has no dialogue.

*Amazon:* *Scooby's white hair..*

## Purpose

Intro To Wickles' Mine

**Intro To Wickles' Mine** is a song from the score of Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. It was composed by David Newman

It plays before the Transformers scene begins, and ends once Shaggy Chick transforms into Buff Shaggy.

## Description

When Scooby and Shaggy first discover and explore the lab, the music is grand and ambient (Shot 1).

Once Scooby start drinking potions, the music becomes more chaotic (Shot 8).

When Shaggy becomes Shaggy Chick, the music becomes a seductive saxophone melody (Shot 19).

The theme returns to the chaotic mood once Tasmanian Devil Scooby is shown (Shot 20).

The theme fades out into Get Ready To Rumble during the Buff Shaggy transformation (Shot 26).

## Trivia

* When Shaggy starts looking through the fridge, a motif of the original Scooby-Doo theme is heard. This is motif is used frequently in the film’s score.
* The portion that plays during Shaggy Chick's reveal strongly resembles the beginning of "Jessica's Theme" by Alan Silvestri from "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit". Considering the character of Jessica Rabbit is known for her attractive figure, this similarity could possibly be on purpose.
Cutscene 3-2

The **2nd Shot of the 3rd cutscene** in Mutate Madness.

## Characters

* Shaggy
* Scooby-Doo

## Summary

Shaggy and Scooby are laying on the floor, stunned.

## Transcript

*Shaggy: Whoa! That was almost exactly like my freshman year of college.*

## Purpose

Similar to Shot 42 of Transformers, this shot shows the effects of the explosion on Shaggy and Scooby.

## Trivia

* Unlike the film, Shaggy's comment makes far less sense since he did not drink any of the potions.
* This shot uses the same angle as the Table area.
Yao Ming Scooby

> *"Raggy?" - Yao Ming Scooby, Chapter 11 (Shaggy)*
>
>

**Yao Ming Scooby** (also refered to as **Yao-Doo** or simply **Yao Ming**) is a transformation of Scooby-Doo as a result of the "Yogurt" Potion in Chapter 11 (Shaggy) and the "Medicinal" Potion in the film's original script.

## Naming

The original script's dialogue for this form refers to him as "Yao Ming", while the action descriptions refer to him as "Yao-Doo". Because of these conflicting names, "Yao Ming Scooby" (a name given before the script's discovery) is used to avoid confusion.

## Appearance

> *"Scooby still looked like some crazy dog-version of Yao Ming." - Shaggy, Chapter 11 (Shaggy)*
>
>

Scooby's appearance is only described by Shaggy as "a freakishly bizarre monster" and a "crazy dog-version of Yao Ming".

## Personality

This form is identically to his normal personality, panicking over the sight of his transformation. This is similar to Monster Scooby.

## History

Scooby finds some bowls of colorful chemicals. Sticking his paw in one and licking it, he claims it tastes like yogurt. When Shaggy looks back to check on him, he's turned into a freaky dog-versions of Yao Ming. Scooby sees himself in the reflection of the table and freaks out. Shaggy tries to find an antidote, but ends up spilling some potion on himself and transforms as well. They both find some bottles marked 'A', which Shaggy says may stand for antidote, and they both drink. This turns him into Scooby Brainiac.

## In the Original Script

In James Gunn's original draft of the scene, the form simply describes Scooby as becoming Yao Ming, which would imply he is the person themselves with no physical difference. Scooby's personality stays intact, only observing his new form in the mirror.

Yao Ming Scooby transforms from the "Medicinal" Potion instead and only takes the place of Tasmanian Devil Scooby rather than both replacing both them and Monster Scooby.

## Transformation Process

The transformation process is never specified in the book, although (much like Monster Scooby) the drinker of the "Yogurt" Potion is unaware of their transformation when it happens.

In the original script, Scooby "shakes and mutates" before becoming Yao Ming Scooby, similar to how transformation occur in the film.

## Relationships

### Scooby-Doo

Yao Ming Scooby seems to have the same personality as normal Scooby-Doo.

### Shaggy Chick

Despite his new appearance, Yao Ming Scooby still knows Shaggy Chick is Shaggy.

## Quotes

### Chapter 11 (Shaggy)

> *Raggy?*
>
>

> *Ahhhhh!*
>
>

### May 26th 2003 Script

> *I'm Rao Ming!*

>

## Trivia

* This is the only transformation that is not related to the final versions of the original scene.
	+ However, it was originally supposed to appear instead of Tasmanian Devil Scooby according to the original script. Why it was changed is not known.
* Due to his exclusivity to non-visual media, this is the only transformation without an image of some kind.
	+ However, with the novelization's audiobook, he does have a voice, provided by Bill Lobley.
Shot 30

The **30th Shot** in Transformers.

## Characters

* Buff Shaggy
* Scooby Brainiac

## Summary

Scooby Brainiac starts mixing potions and talks about how he misses being normal Scooby. Buff Shaggy ignores him, flexing his arm and slapping his butt.

## Transcript

*Scooby Brainiac:* *It's awful! Oh, I long for the blissful ignorance of my former self. Chasing cats, licking my own rear end, eating my own vomit.*

## Purpose

This shot has Shaggy flexing dumbly, again showcasing his dumb brain change, and Scooby mixing potions rapidly. From his dialogue, it becomes obvious that he hates his intelligence and misses his normal form, which foreshadows his desire to transform back.

## Trivia

* In a weird coincidence, shortly after Scooby Brainiac says "rear end", Buff Shaggy smacks his own rear end.

Daphne

* Game

> *"What are you guys doing here?" - Daphne, Transformers*
>
>

**Daphne Blake** is a character from Scooby-Doo and a member of Mystery Inc. She is one of the three to find Scooby-Doo and/or Shaggy after they had drank some potions in all versions of The Potions Scene.

## History

After falsely accusing Old Man Wickles of stealing the monster costumes, they hear an explosion originating from Jonathan Jacobo's Lab underground. Along with Fred and Velma, they rush to the hidden elevator and ride it into the lab to discover Scooby Brainiac and Buff Shaggy stuck to the wall (or normal Scooby and Shaggy in the game's case). They are stunned, but soon scold them after they transform back to their normal selves.

## Reaction

Daphne seems to hesitate leaving Old Man Wickles, being the last one to run after the explosion they hear. She and others first focus on the hole in the wall, but turn once Scooby announces their presence. She seems to not focus on either specifically, but goes wide eyed once Buff Shaggy starts laughing. Once they transform back she scolds the both of them for lying about being sick and sneaking out.

Elevator

> *"Careful, gang." - Fred, Transformers*
>
>

An **elevator** is a machine that moves objects, typically humans, up and down. A hidden one is seen inside the Coolsville Mining Town, leading down to Jonathan Jacobo's Lab, where many potions can be found.

## History

### Transformers

Shaggy and Scooby-Doo get scared by The Skeleton Men, and accidently pull a lever disguised as a pickaxe. A wall moves to reveal an elevator. Without thinking, the two rush into it. The elevator descends into a secret lab. As it reaches the bottom, Shaggy and Scooby step out. The elevator begins to move up behind them, momentarily scaring the two.

Later, an explosion alerts Fred, Daphne, and Velma, who rush to find its source. They somehow find the elevator, which may have still been out in the open, and descend down just as Shaggy and Scooby did.

This elevator is used multiple times later in the film, most notably when the gang runs from The Monster Hive.

Similar events happen in the book, game, and the picture book. Other versions seem to skip the elevator and lead directly into the lab.

## Shots

Shot 1Shot 2Shot 3Shot 4Shot 5Shot 19Shot 41
## Trivia

* Unlike with Shaggy and Scooby in shot 5, the elevator does not move back up automatically once Fred, Daphne, and Velma exit, as they are able to get back in a few minutes later.
	+ Since Shaggy shuts the elevator's gates in shot 5, and the gang doesn't shut them in shot 41, it's possible that the elevator only moves back up when its gates are closed.
* The elevator can be seen behind Shaggy Chick in the mirror in shot 19, even though it went back up in shot 5.
	+ This mistake is corrected in the next shot, shot 20, as the elevator is gone once again.
* An area in Mutate Madness is named after the elevator.
* The card named "Alley Oops!" makes mention of this elevator.
