Colonel Bleep and the Uncharted Earth

Colonel Bleep and the Uncharted Earth is a 2D animated, coming of age, science fiction film based on the animated television show, Colonel Bleep. This film revolves around the titular character's first adventure on Earth as well as his first contact to his soon-to-be loyal deputies: Squeak the puppet and Scratch the caveman. While Bleep manages to build a relationship for his two newly found companions, he is also being conflicted by the mysterious criminal mastermind: Dr. Destructo.

Part 1: A New Mission
Our story begins 700 years ago when the Futura High Command was formed. Its purpose was to gather interplanetary intelligence agents around the world and the universe to help observe, investigate, and protect multiple planets near and far from planet Futura. 676 years later, Colonel Bleep foretells his backstory in working for the Futura High Command. Starting as a cadet in the FHC Academy, at 18 and getting his rank as a first lieutenant officer at age 23. Despite his great intelligence and determination in becoming a good spaceman, Bleep has been scarred physically and emotionally considering that he had been betrayed by an assassin disguised as a friendly student named Agent 85 and never being able to capture this enemy, compared to later missions where Bleep and his fellow agents become triumphant. When he is ranked the colonel, Bleep  is given a new mission to help keep watch of the Solar System, specifically on Earth. He and the futurians had a brief interest on Earth until they discovered nuclear bombs streaking across the planet. After twelve years of research, the futurians also noticed that earthlings had begun their own use of space technology with the launch of Sputnik 1. Seeing these as signs of trouble and curiosity, the FHC assigns Colonel Bleep to investigate Earth and its denizens' knowledge on space technology. One night however, when a lonely Colonel Bleep grows skeptical about his new mission, he begins seeing a monstrous figure, named Dr. Destructo, who is said to have been searching for him after so many years.

Part 2: The Caveman Awakens
Colonel Bleep begins his mission in the Soundac. He takes the hyperspeed route that would instantly transport him from the Nova System of Galaxy 9 to the Solar System of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Soundac crash lands in a glacier in western Europe. Bleep survives unharmed, but is upset not just because of the crash, but because he landed in an unknown land that has not been looked upon. While exploring this beautiful and strange-looking glacier, the spaceman finds a cluster of ice crystals with a strange figure inside. Bleep thaws the ice with his futomic energy, which reveals a frozen caveman with a sack full of weapons. The caveman introduces himself as Scratch, who is revealed to have peak-human strength, much to Scratch’s relief and Bleep’s astonishment. With that strength, Scratch helps Colonel Bleep escape the glacier and return to the Soundac. Unintentionally the two find themselves in strange prehistoric ruins, which used to be Scratch’s home. It is revealed that Scratch left his home in search of adventure in the outside world. However, Scratch fell unconscious during a blizzard, which prevented him from waking up until the spaceman unfroze him. Despite being awakened, Scratch is horrified that he’s been asleep for 20,000 years meaning that the world is much different now. What makes matters worse is that he may never see his own tribe again considering that they had all passed away. Feeling pity for his new friend, Bleep invites Scratch to tag along on his journey across the modern Earth: a world that a prehistoric being has just begun to know.

Part 3: The Little Puppet
On the day of the first nuclear explosion, an abandoned toy factory was affected by the explosion’s radiation. The radiation brought left out toys to life, including a wooden puppet named Squeak. In the first four years, Squeak lived a humble, happy life with the other toys, although he grew curious about the outside world. One day however, an unwelcoming storm came to the factory and its lightning caused a horrible fire. Squeak escaped on time before the fire spread as quickly as possible, but none of his friends were able to do the same thing. From then on Squeak was all alone until he was hired to work as an actor for a puppet TV show called the Puppet Playhouse. While Squeak did at least get a job, shelter, and some money, he only got to portray the minor roles due to having very little experience of acting. Much to his envy, Squeak thought that if he stole the spotlight from someone else, he could get a better role. One night the Puppet Playhouse was hosting a puppet show based on The Nutcracker, which was when Squeak pulled a huge prank in front of the audience. With the theater executives feeling dismayed, Squeak was fired and was never allowed to return to the show or the theater. Squeak tried to transfer himself into different film studios, but was rejected because everyone knew about the animated puppet who caused an embarrassing prank on live television. Angered and betrayed, Squeak gave up on acting and decided to become a lone adventurer who never dreamed of interacting with humans again. There he found a shelter in an abandoned boxcar and eventually grew interested in exploring space after watching the news report of Sputnik’s launch. This would eventually inspire Squeak to build a homemade rocket as his ticket from Earth to the deep heart of the universe. In his first test flight, the rocket is close to reaching the moon, but fails when the engine’s power goes down. The Wondership X-57 lands down to Earth and crashes in a lake leaving Squeak unconscious.

Part 4: First Contact
While unconscious, Squeak dreams of seeing two strange figures in the dark waters. The puppet eventually wakes up from his dream and realizes that he could never escape from Earth now that his rocket is destroyed. Soon enough, however, he notices that the Soundac has landed near Squeak’s territory. Meanwhile, Colonel Bleep would plan to investigate the bombs while Scratch would take guard of the saucer. When Squeak takes a look at Bleep for the first time, he attempts to capture the spaceman by the next day. As planned, Colonel Bleep heads off to analyze the first nuclear bomb, Scratch goes out hunting for food in the woods, and Squeak builds a leg snare trap to capture the colonel. After an hour of boredom, Squeak goes exploring in the woods only to find Scratch hunting for fish. The puppet is shocked and runs as fast as possible only to get caught in his own trap. Scratch rescues Squeak in time and comforts the latter out of his fear. Seeing that Scratch is a gentle giant, Squeak allows himself to share his stuff with the caveman. Later, Squeak attempts to find Colonel Bleep in a junkyard and plays an act of mischief on the spaceman. Much to his anger, Bleep chases the puppet from the junkyard to the forest only to rescue him from falling down a cliff. Bleep is impressed by not only Squeak’s sharp wit and quick actions, but also that he is connected to radioactive energy as he is able to generate light from touching a radioactive crystal. Later that night, Colonel Bleep and Squeak are both reunited with Scratch. Both earthlings believe that they should be trained under Bleep’s orders. While Squeak wants to know how to be a good space ranger, Scratch wants to learn more about the universe and the modern world. At first Bleep is skeptical of this idea, but until Squeak reveals his failed mission to reach space from his destroyed rocket, the colonel decides to give it a chance.

Part 5: Deputies in Training
Colonel Bleep and Scratch remain in the woods with Squeak. During this time, the colonel would analyze Squeak’s connection to radioactivity while also lecturing Scratch about the customs of the modern world and the numerous planets of the Solar System and the Nova System. Scratch gives Squeak the lessons in becoming a warrior while also teaching him how to connect with the spirits within the Earth, Sun, and Moon. Squeak then teaches Scratch about the fun side of the modern world through exploring the former’s favorite places in the forest. As the two get to know each other more, they eventually see each other as brothers. As time passes on, the two earthlings' skills begin to improve and Bleep believes that they are ready to be trained in survival around the world before they can be granted space deputies. For several days, the three learn about survival in different biomes of the world such as in the aquatics, grasslands, deserts, forests, and tundras. While their training improves, Colonel Bleep starts to have feelings for Squeak and Scratch, but he also has terrifying hallucinations of Dr. Destructo. Far away in Pluto, Dr. Destructo had been secretly tracking down the colonel and his soon-to-be deputies. He plans to threaten Squeak and Scratch in order to lure Colonel Bleep in the doctor’s own captivity.

Colonel Bleep

 * Gender Pronouns: He/Him/His
 * Full Name: Lucius Morningstar Bleep
 * Age: 45
 * Species: Futurian
 * Role: Brain and Spine
 * Voice Sound-alikes: Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, Captain James T. Kirk, from Star Trek, Han Solo from Star Wars

Colonel Bleep is an interplanetary intelligence agent for the Futura High Command. Growing up in Futura, Bleep was known to be a gifted child prodigy, which allowed him to skip a few grades ahead during his schooling years. Bleep later joined the FHC at the age of 23 and served the agency for 22 years. Despite his great intelligence and fearless battle schemes, Bleep has trouble getting along with others considering that he had been physically and emotionally scarred from not only the most life-risking missions he had to face, but also by an archcriminal who had constantly threatened him at every opportunity he got. When he was given the rank as a colonel, Colonel Bleep was later assigned on his mission in investigating numerous planets outside of Futura, considering that is what officer members are usually assigned to do. The colonel selected Earth from the Solar System, since not only it was enclosed from the rest of the universe but was also beginning to sprout its own space technology. Once the spaceman arrives on Earth, he won’t just be far from home but also far from being the lost and troubled futurian that he used to be for so many years. Bleep represents the future and has the power to control futomic energy, which can be used for weaponry and construction.

As a heroic character, Colonel Bleep is best known for his intelligence, bravery, and kindness. He takes a natural role as a leader and a mentor by doing his best to keep his friends together. He is also depicted to be the most mature and most level-headed of our three main protagonists. However, the spaceman can be aloof, overprotective, overly analytical, sheepish, mildly pessimistic, overly serious, and even bossy towards his companions. Regardless, he does learn to care about them deeply and gradually thinks of them like a family. Because he is a futurian, Colonel Bleep has a thin rod-like body with silvery skin and a reuleaux-shaped triangle head. He lacks hair and a nose and is always seen wearing a space helmet. Bleep’s helmet has a propeller that is useful for flight and wind forces as well as a pair of ant-like antennae that can create quick blasts of futomic energy and even change position depending on the colonel’s emotions. His futomic energy can also be activated from his golden cuffs and anklets, which are attached to his protective gloves and shoes. Bleep also wears a colorful space uniform indicating that he is an honorable officer of the Futura High Command. Deep down however, Bleep also reveals to have three deep scars on his chest, which were caused by his long-time enemy.

Scratch the Caveman

 * Gender Pronouns: He/Him/His
 * Full Name: Clive “Scratch” Rockwell
 * Age: 20,018 (physically 18)
 * Species: Prehistoric Human
 * Role: Muscle and Heart
 * Voice Sound-alikes: Daruk from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Drax the Destroyer from Guardians of the Galaxy, Knuckles the Echidna from Sonic the Hedgehog 2(Film)

Scratch is a caveman from the distant past. Long ago, Clive Rockwell lived a normal life in the Stone Age with his friends and family. His friends often called him Scratch due to the fact that everything seemed “head scratching” to his own eyes. Since his childhood, Scratch was bred and trained to be a fierce hunter and a fine woodsman. During his leisure time however, the caveman was usually exploring the woods and mountains of the ancient British Isles. When Scratch was finally old enough to live an independent life, he left his old home in search of adventure across the outside world. During this moment however, Scratch was frozen by accident and was trapped in an icy glacier for 20,000 years. When Colonel Bleep arrived on Earth, he freed the caveman, who was assumed to be just a helpless victim. At this time Scratch is trying to catch up with the world’s current time, but he is willing to help his friends protect the world and the rest of the universe. Scratch represents the past and is born with the power of super strength.

Scratch is not the brightest member of the three main characters, but what he lacks in brain he makes up for in muscle and heart. He is shown to be good-natured, warmhearted, fun-loving, responsible, obedient, brave, hardworking, loyal, and of course, strong willed. Since Scratch is a caveman, he is very clueless, overly sensitive, and rather slow in the mind. Physically, Scratch has a tall and obese, but muscular body. He is bald with very sharp teeth and a large nose that may twitch when trouble lurks around. Scratch also wears a leopard tunic and is armed with primitive, but strong weapons: a spiked wooden club, a hunting spear, a bow and arrows, stone ax, and a stone pocket knife. Out of all his weapons, the wooden club is Scratch’s favorite.

Squeak the Puppet

 * Gender Pronouns: He/Him/His/They/Them/Theirs
 * Full Name: Pipsqueak Pinto Pine
 * Age: 12 (physically 4)
 * Species: Puppet
 * Role: Private Eyes and Funny Bone
 * Voice Sound-alikes: Miles “Tails” Prower from Sonic the Hedgehog, Young Simba from The Lion King, Meilin Lee from Turning Red, Ruby from Steven Universe

Squeak is a cute little puppet who was brought to life during the first atomic explosion. During the first four years of his life, Squeak lived in an abandoned toy factory who knew very little about the outside world. He then escaped his own home after a terrible fire and ventured into the outside world where he got a job as a TV actor. However, Squeak was fired after causing a humiliating prank on live television. Squeak became homeless once again until he found an abandoned boxcar for himself. Soon enough, Squeak began dreaming of exploring the stars after gaining inspiration from the launch of Sputnik 1. This dream would become a reality when he prepared to build a small rocket that is expected to take him out of Earth and across the rest of the universe. Unexpectedly though, Squeak’s perspective will change when he makes his first contact with Colonel Bleep and Scratch. Squeak represents the present and is somehow connected to radioactive energy, considering that radiation gave Squeak the ability to move and think independently.

Squeak is often called “Little Squeak” due to his small size, his adorable appearance, and his childish personality. He is filled with curiosity, overconfidence, impulsiveness, and mischief as of most boys, and can be a bit of a troublemaker. Despite those flaws, Squeak is willing to learn from his mistakes and change for the better. As a trusty sidekick, Squeak is shown to be clever, charming, brave, and unselfish. As a puppet, Squeak’s head is made out of a block of delicate pine wood while his body is made out of a sturdy board of oak. Aside from his wooden body, Squeak has black onyx eyes, red hair and rosy cheeks. However he lacks a mouth, considering that he never got one before he came to life. Although Squeak is willing to speak with a voice device built in his wooden torso. The puppet resembles a 1950s cowboy with a brown western hat, a blue button-on shirt, a red bandana, a brown vest, a golden star pin, blue jeans, brown boots, and a brown belt. He is also seen carrying a beige colored backpack with various accessories that he may need or want for the day.

Dr. Destructo

 * Full Name: Octavio Starlink Cosmos (birth name) Deimos Dharkon Destructo (current name)
 * Age: 45
 * Species: Futurian
 * Role: The Inner Demon
 * Voice Sound-Alikes: Scar from The Lion King, Death the Wolf from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Zurg from Toy Story, Darth Vader from Star Wars, Dr. Bleak from Trick Moon, Neo Metal Sonic from Sonic Heroes

Dr. Destructo is a vicious criminal mastermind with a troubled past. Born as Octavio Cosmos, he was abandoned by his parents as an infant and lived in an orphanage. At around his pre-adolescence, he was kidnapped by a group of assassins known as the Octave Force. There he was brainwashed and tortured through training, but survived during the process. Octavio was granted one of the newest adult assassins and was named Agent 85. Once, the agent was assigned to steal some weapons from the Futura High Command, but failed when security guards ambushed him from doing so. Bleep, who was a first lieutenant at the time, tried to capture Agent 85, but he managed to escape as soon as possible. Despite the escape, the Octave Force threatened to kill Agent 85 for failing his mission, so he made another escape to protect his own life. Traumatized and betrayed, Agent 85 decides to commit crimes on his own terms and changes his identity as Dr. Destructo. Throughout twenty-two years, Dr. Destructo demolished the Octave Force for betraying him and went on to hunt down the Futura High Command, though his main target was Colonel Bleep, who always foiled Destructo’s plans no matter how dangerous the situation was. Destructo was eventually imprisoned in one of Saturn’s moons, but the doctor was able to escape and is now attempting to get one last chance in defeating his enemy.

Although Dr. Destructo is highly intelligent and sharp-witted as a freshly-crafted sword, he spices it up with pure evil. With this in mind, calling him, “the bad guy”, is an understatement. He is practically a stone-hearted, calculating, wicked criminal mastermind who always tries to hunt down a certain target whenever he gets the chance. As he is plagued by failure, trauma, and betrayal, Destructo is very vengeful and attempts to get revenge in his own way such as how he destroyed the Octave Force and constantly trying to kill Colonel Bleep. The doctor takes his plans seriously and expects them to work properly. He also struggles in controlling his emotions and is easily prone to anger when things do not go his way. Dr. Destructo’s true body is a middle aged futurian with green skin and twin scars on the left side of his unibrow. He is publicly seen wearing a black hooded suit with durable armor, and limb enhancers, which gives him a strong, bulky appearance. His arm enhancers include sharp claws and his hood features red eyes that glow like fire. His leg enhancers include rockets for flight and gravity magnets, while his arm enhancers include fire blasters, mini-bomb cannons, and his sharp, durable claws for hand-to-hand combat. If necessary, Dr. Destructo will reveal his Octave Force weapon that reveals eight deadly tentacles. This was the only thing he has left from his former affiliation.
