So who are these investors and what do they see in Australia? On Four Corners you'll meet members of China's super rich, the new generation of global property investors who call Australia home: "I think this is the best period of time in Australia's history. The vast capital from China, including entrepreneurs like us, have been looking for investment opportunities worldwide."Chinese multi- millionaire property investor. And they're clear about what they want: "The priority is view .. You know, it's something money cannot buy in China."Real estate agent. There are also Chinese middle class buyers looking for a holiday home, a place to retire to, or just a good investment: "Compared to Shanghai property, Sydney property is not that expensive."Chinese investor.

And developers: from a billion dollar megaresort on the Gold Coast; to Melbourne's tallest residential tower; marquee sites in Sydney and whole city blocks in Perth - they're shaping our city skylines."I came over 1. After my graduation I fall in love with the country, loved the lifestyle, decided to stay, make something good out of it."Chinese property developer. Some are the progeny of China's political elite, known as 'princelings', whose links here begin with an Australian school or university: "You'll find at the top universities across this country, a whole influx of young people of Chinese background who have been sent here by parents. Safe investment, they don't live in fear of the State taking their assets from them."Former Australian Federal Minister and China business specialist.

But there are hidden dangers in doing business with China: endemic corruption; a lack of transparency in both business and the legal system, and questions about where the money is coming from and whether ill- gotten gains are being laundered."China (is) by far the biggest exporter of illicit capital."International money laundering expert. With billions of dollars flowing out of China, international money laundering experts are warning that some of it is making its way into Australia: "Real estate is recognised internationally as one of the means by which people will launder money." Former money laundering investigator. THE GREAT WALL OF MONEY, reported by Linton Besser and presented by Kerry O'Brien, goes to air on Monday 1. October at 8. 3. 0pm.

LULU PALLIER, SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY: They come to this country, they want to buy something special.. So waterfront with a view, with a nice house on it: it's something money cannot buy in China. Yeah. MATTHEW KHOO, FINANCE DIRECTOR, ICD PROPERTY: A- at the time it was actually the, the fastest, ah, tower to sell.

We sold 1. 00 per cent of the, the tower within eight months. LULU PALLIER: This is sold two years ago to a Chinese businessman, Mr Wong, for $5. Watch Love Finds A Home Download Full here. RAYMOND BAKER, GLOBAL FINANCIAL INTEGRITY: A lot of governments don't want to ask the questions.

They simply want the money flowing in. Well, I'm sorry. You do that and you expose yourself to a great many risks, not only in your own country but you're also damaging the countries out of which that money is coming.

KERRY O'BRIEN: Whether it's waterfront trophy homes, apartments off the plan or massive commercial developments, Chinese investment in Australian real estate has surged by more than 4. Property has now eclipsed mining as the number one Chinese investment in Australia. It's part of an extraordinary flight of capital out of China, estimated in the trillions of dollars, which may be the biggest exodus of money from a single country in financial history. While Chinese investment has been a boon for Australia - and much of it is legitimate - according to money laundering agencies there are also billions of dollars in ill- gotten gains being illicitly siphoned offshore and Australian authorities are doing precious little to investigate the source or the destination of these funds.

Our investigation has revealed that one source of investment is a Chinese firm involved in international arms dealing and another is the riches amassed by relatives of China's political elite, known as 'the Princelings.' You're about to meet some of them in this report by Linton Besser. LINTON BESSER, REPORTER: Lulu Pallier is in Shanghai on business. It's China's financial capital, where bicycles have given way to Bentleys and revolutionary slogans have been replaced by designer labels.

But what Lulu is selling is not here in China: it's on the other side of the world. LULU PALLIER, SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY: I'm meeting potential clients who are willing to in- have investment in Australia.(Footage of Lulu holding meeting of potential investors around large round table)LINTON BESSER: Lulu Pallier is spruiking Sydney real estate. LULU PALLIER (translation): Feel free to ask me any questions about purchasing property in Australia.

LINTON BESSER: For Chinese buyers like Huang Cheng, an Australian property is the perfect investment. HUANG CHENG, POTENTIAL INVESTOR (translation): Compared to Shanghai property, Sydney property is not that expensive. JENNY HU, POTENTIAL INVESTOR (translation): I have not bought yet and am still looking. I want to have a house for my holiday in future. I like Australia as it has good weather and quality food. LINTON BESSER: Iris Huang is here to sign the contract on a Sydney apartment she has only ever seen on the internet.

IRIS HUANG, INVESTOR: I haven't seen it. But I've been living Australia, so I'm kind of like familiar with that area, so I don't need to see. I think most.. Most of the investment: if they trust somebody like Lulu, the real estate agent, I don't think they need to see. It's just sign and email it. It's very convenient.

Yeah.(Footage of Liu Qi leading Jenny Hu to a table at one of his restaurants)LINTON BESSER: Across town, Lulu visits another client. Liu Qi owns a chain of restaurants: a thriving business that celebrates the founder of China's communist state. He bought his Sydney apartment in June with an eye to the future.

LIU QI (translation): My daughter got her bachelor's degree in the US and she is studying her master's degree in Sydney. I asked her to study in Sydney as the time difference is two hours and the weather is good.

I think after I retire, I can live there. LINTON BESSER: Liu Qi's investment is part of a huge wave of Chinese money pouring into the Australian real estate market. In just five years, it's surged more than 4. Back in Sydney, Lulu Pallier is not just selling humble apartments. For the growing ranks of China's super rich, the aim is a trophy home.(Lulu Pallier is showing potential clients a large house overlooking Sydney Harbour)And there is nowhere more desirable than the waterfront suburbs around Sydney's world- famous harbour. POTENTIAL CLIENT: Fish tank. Oh. LULU PALLIER: They want to buy something special.

They come to this country, they want to buy something special. They want: the first priority is view. So waterfront with a view, with a nice house on it and, ah, preferably with a boat marina. You know, it's something money cannot buy in China. Yeah. LINTON BESSER: For overseas investors, there are strict rules about buying Australian real estate like this $2.

It's become a hot- button issue amid a public crackdown on illegal sales launched by the former treasurer, Joe Hockey.

The Transformers: The Movie - Transformers Wiki. The Transformers: The Movie is an animated feature film based on the original Transformers toyline. It was released in the United States on Friday, August 8, 1. The film's storyline follows the same continuity as the Transformers cartoon. It introduces a planet- sized Transformer called Unicron who eats other planets, and is approaching Cybertron. As part of their continuing wars, the Autobots and Decepticons have a fierce battle on Earth which sees both Optimus Prime and Megatron mortally wounded. Prime passes the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus and dies, and Megatron is transformed by Unicron into Galvatron.

Starscream (briefly) assumes leadership of the Decepticons, but is killed when Galvatron arrives at Cybertron. Galvatron then chases the surviving Autobots on Earth across space, splitting them up and taking the Matrix. The Autobots find their way back to each other, and follow Galvatron to Cybertron just as Unicron transforms into robot mode and begins to eat their world. Travelling inside Unicron, Hot Rod recovers the Matrix, transforms into Rodimus Prime, and uses the Matrix to destroy Unicron. Often referred to by fans simply as "the movie" or "TFTM", the movie was a step up in almost every area from the television series, with a more sophisticated plot, more serious treatment of war and violence, a hugely ambitious scope and a greatly increased animation budget with well- known celebrities providing voice work. For these reasons the film remains very popular with children of the 1. The film opens with characters who had been featured in the first two years of the toyline and associated media (cartoons, comic books, etc.), but quickly introduces new characters and kills many of the old ones to make room.

Of particular note, Optimus Prime and Starscream are both destroyed during the course of the film. The Japanese have funded a full- length animated cartoon about the doings of these toys, which is all bad outer- space stuff.

I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something- or- other. Then I'm destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever- it- is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen.

Orson Welles[1]Synopsis. A mechanical planet travels through the depths of space, attacking a metal planet which has robotic inhabitants. Robots, vehicles, buildings, and even large chunks of rock are sucked off the surface and devoured by the monstrous planet.

It is the year 2. Decepticons are now in control of Cybertron. The Autobots are preparing to launch an assault to retake the planet from hidden bases on two of Cybertron's moons. The Autobots launch a shuttle to pick up a final shipment of energon from Earth before they strike. Plans for the attack are overheard by Laserbeak, who reports back to Megatron. The Decepticons attack the Autobot shuttle en route to Earth, wiping out its crew (including Ironhide, Prowl, Ratchet and Brawn).

Using the Autobots' own shuttle, the Decepticons are able to get very close to the Autobots' base on Earth, Autobot City, before they are detected, and begin a devastating surprise attack on the unprepared city. During the battle at Autobot City, both Optimus Prime and Megatron suffer mortal injuries, and a number of others are also killed. Eventually the Decepticons retreat, but the damage suffered by the Autobots is severe. Shortly after the battle, Prime lies on his deathbed. He passes the reins of leadership to Ultra Magnus and gives him the Matrix of Leadership. Though Hot Rod actually touches the Matrix before Magnus does.) Prime relates a prophecy: "One day, an Autobot shall rise from our ranks, and use the power of the Matrix to light our darkest hour." He then gives the oath, "'Til all are one", and dies. This sequence of events is observed remotely by Unicron, the monstrous planet, who appears unusually concerned by the survival of the Matrix.

The Decepticons are making their escape aboard Astrotrain, but are too heavy for him to get them all home under his own power. After putting the matter to a fair vote, the Decepticons decide to throw their injured members off the ship to better the chance of survival for the rest. One of the most severely injured Decepticons is Megatron. Starscream tosses him out and claims leadership of the Decepticon army. Megatron and the other adrift Decepticons then encounter Unicron in interstellar space.

Unicron offers to rebuild Megatron and his minions in exchange for their service. Megatron agrees, and is reformatted into Galvatron. The other Decepticons are turned into Cyclonus, Scourge, and the Sweeps. Unicron provides them with a ship, and sends them to kill Ultra Magnus and destroy the Matrix, stating that the Matrix is the only thing which can stand in his way.

Galvatron first stops at Cybertron to take his revenge by killing Starscream and reclaiming leadership of the Decepticons. Almost immediately afterwards, Unicron arrives in Cybertron's vicinity and devours at least two moons—both of the Autobots' moon bases are destroyed. Under coercion by Unicron, Galvatron finally heads to Earth to kill Ultra Magnus, but Magnus and the other surviving Autobots flee in a pair of shuttles. Eventually Galvatron manages to cause one shuttle to crash on yet another metal planet (Quintessa), and detonates the other with a volley of missiles. However, the Autobots in the second shuttle escape unnoticed by separating the front portion of their shuttle just before impact. The Autobots in the crashed shuttle, Hot Rod, Kup, and the Dinobots, find themselves separated and in a hostile environment. Hot Rod and Kup are captured by a squad of Allicons and taken before a Quintessonjudge and his court.

While being held there, they learn the name and nature of Unicron from Kranix, a survivor of the planet destroyed in the opening of the film, which he calls Lithone. Meanwhile, the Dinobots encounter and befriend a young, wild Autobot named Wheelie who has been living alone on Quintessa.

Together, they crash the trial just as Hot Rod and Kup are fighting losing odds against the Quintessons' Sharkticons. The tide is turned, and the Autobots commandeer a Quintesson Cruiser. The other group of Autobots has landed on the planet Junkion to make repairs, but are attacked yet again by Galvatron, who was tipped off to their survival by Unicron. During the battle, Ultra Magnus tries to open the Matrix to use its power, but is unable to do so, and instead is killed.

Galvatron absconds with the Matrix, taking it away to Unicron. The remaining Autobots—Perceptor, Blurr, Springer, Arcee, and Spike's son Daniel—are then ambushed by Junkions, the eponymous natives of Junkion, who are also giant transforming robots. This battle is cut short, however, by the arrival of Hot Rod's group in their Quintesson ship. After exchanging the universal greeting they all make friends, and the Junkions restore Ultra Magnus to life. Together, the whole group travels to Cybertron to try to recover the Matrix and destroy Unicron. Galvatron attempts to open the Matrix to use its power against Unicron, but is also unable to get it open. Unicron, not pleased with this attempted treachery, shocks Galvatron by transforming from a planet into a planet- sized robot.

Unicron plucks Galvatron off his chest and swallows him, Matrix and all, and then begins attacking Cybertron itself. Shockwave scrambles the Decepticon forces to defend the planet, but they are ineffective against so large an enemy. Shortly the Autobots arrive from Junkion, and fly the Quintesson ship straight through Unicron's eye.

This impact destroys the ship, and the Autobots fall out inside Unicron. Hot Rod, separated from the others, eventually runs into Galvatron.

During their fight, Hot Rod gets his hands on the Matrix and hears Optimus's voice speak the words, "Arise, Rodimus Prime." Hot Rod grows in stature, adopts a much sterner demeanor, and quickly dispatches Galvatron by tossing him through Unicron's hull out into space.
