[before their battle]
Megatron: [surprised] Prime.
Optimus Prime: One shall stand, one shall fall.
Megatron: Why throw away your life so recklessly?
Optimus Prime: That's a question you should ask YOURSELF, Megatron.
[pointing a gun at Optimus Prime's head]
Megatron: I would have waited an eternity for this. It's over, Prime.
Arcee: Did we have to let them detonate three-quarters of the ship?
Springer: Seeing as how they would have detonated four-quarters, I think it was a good choice.
Hot Rod: We can't hold out forever Kup, but we *can* give them one *humongous* repair bill.
Kup: Don't act hostile, I'll use the universal greeting.
Hot Rod: "Universal greeting"?
Kup: Watch, I'll have them eating out of my hands. Baa weep grahna weep ninny bong.
Hot Rod: "Baa weep grahna weep ninny bong"?
Sharkticons: Baa weep grahna weep ninny bong.
Kup: See, the universal greeting works every time.
Blaster: Optimus Prime, do you read me? The Decepticons are blitzing Autobot City, we're really taking a pounding. Don't know how much longer we can hold out.
Unicron: I have summoned you here for a purpose.
Megatron: Nobody summons Megatron.
Unicron: Then it pleases me to be the first.
Rumble: First we crack the shell, then we crack the nuts inside.
Springer: Its not hard to knock em down, it's getting them to stay down that's the trick.
Springer: [Unicron self destructing, Spike and Daniel find remaining autobots] Spike! Daniel!
Spike: Springer, what's going on?
Springer: No time for that now! Let's get out of hear.
[Autobots start to escape Unicron's hull]
Daniel: Look!
[Sees Hot Rod, now Rodimus Prime, running from the depths of Unicron]
Rodimus Prime: Autobots, transform and roll out!
[Spike and Daniel climb into transformed Rodimus Prime]
Kup: I always knew you had potential lad.
[Autobots escape out Unicron's eye as he self destructs]
Blurr: [speaking quickly] Absolutleypostivelydefinately! NobodycangetthejobdonefasterthanIcan. Nobodynobodynobody!
Wheelie: Friend find, look behind.
Grimlock: Who say that?
Perceptor: Do you think you got through to Prime?
Blaster: Let's hope so, 'cause if I didn't we're all gonna look like burnt out toaster ovens.
Brawn: [Decepticons ambush Autobots on Autobot shuttle] Megatron!
Prowl: Decepticons!
Megatron: Die, Autobots!
Megatron: [Decepticons kill Autobots on board shuttle except Ironhide] This was almost too easy, Starscream.
Starscream: Much easier, almighty Megatron, than attacking the real threat. The Autobots' moonbase.
Megatron: You're an idiot, Starscream. When we slip by their early warning systems in their own shuttle and destroy Autobot City, the Autobots will be vanquished forever.
Ironhide: No!
Megatron: Such heroic nonsense!
[Shoots Ironhide's head off]
Shockwave: Lazorbeak returns Megatron.
Megatron: Welcome Lazorbeak. Unlike some of my other warriors, you never fail me. Soundwave play back Lazorbeak's findings.
Soundwave: As you command Megatron.
Optimus Prime: [on the play back] Ironhide. I want you to make a special run to Autobot City on Earth.
Ironhide: But Prime...
Optimus Prime: Listen Ironhide. We don't have enough energon cubes to power a full-scale assault. Ready the shuttle for launch. Now all we need is a little energon and a lot of luck.
Megatron: More than you imagine Optimus Prime.
Cyclonus: You want me to gut Ultra Magnus?
Galvatron: There are plenty of Autobots for you. Ultra Magnus is mine!
Starscream: Who disrupts my coronation?
Galvatron: "Coronation", Starscream? This is bad comedy.
Starscream: Megatron? Is that you?
Galvatron: Here's a hint!
[Galvatron transforms and shoots Starscream. Starscream crackles and falls to dust]
Galvatron: Will anyone else attempt to fill his shoes?
Rumble: What did he say his name was?
Galvatron: Galvatron!
Wheelie: Friend find, look behind! Friend find, look behind!
Grimlock: [Looks away from Wheelie]
Wheelie: You go wrong way, you fool I say.
Grimlock: [seeing Wheelie] Me Grimlock fool?
Wheelie: Get me you got, no fool you not!
[laughs]
Grimlock: Me Grimlock no like you!
[attacks Wheelie]
Narrator: It is the year 2005. The treacherous Decepticons have conquered the Autobot's home planet of Cybertron. But, from secret staging grounds on two of Cybertron's moons the valiant Autobots plan to take back their homeland.
Starscream: Astrotrain, transform and get us out of here!
[Astrotrain transforms into his train mode]
Starscream: [the last of the Decepticons load into Astrotrain] Astrotrain, take off!
Ultra Magnus: Blurr, get the Dinobots in the shuttle!
Blurr: I'm trying to get them inthe shuttle Ultra Magnus, cause I know we can't launch the shuttle until I get them into the shuttle but I can't seem to get them into the shuttle but they're impossible, impossible, impossible!
Ultra Magnus: Ok, forget it! Kup, Hot Rod, you guys get the Dinobots aboard and get out of here.
Hot Rod: [lassoing Grimlock's neck] Come on, you big bozo, get in the shuttle!
Hot Rod: Why settle for a peek, Daniel, when you can see everything from "Lookout Mountain"?
Daniel: [Daniel views the shuttle from a viewscope] Hot Rod, there's a hole in the shuttle!
Hot Rod: *What?*
Hot Rod: [Hot Rod zooms his eyes in on the damaged shuttle] Decepticons!
Kup: [sees Hot Rod shooting at the incoming shuttle] What's that darn fool doing?
Megatron: [in a very weak voice] Don't leave me, Soundwave.
Soundwave: As you command, Megatron.
Kup: [the Decepticons are fleeing Autobot City] Prime did it! He turned the tide!
Hot Rod: Heh, not bad for an old timer.
Kup: Old Timer? That's something you'll never be, if you don't get back to the city.
Hot Rod: [Blitzwing comes screaming over head very closely while shooting at the two]
[shouts]
Hot Rod: Save it, Kup!
Hot Rod: Let's *burn rubber*!
[Kup and Hot Rod both transform]
Starscream: [chasing after Arcee and Springer who are closing themselves inside Autobot city] Pathetic fools there is no escape!
[BOOM]
Starscream: AH! My foot!
Ultra Magnus: [straining] Open, dammit, open. Prime you said the matrix would light our darkest hour.
Perceptor: I fear the wounds are... fatal.
Daniel: [long pause] Prime, you can't die.
Optimus Prime: Do not grieve. Soon I shall be one with the matrix.
Hot Rod: Prime.
Optimus Prime: Ultra Magnus, it is to you, old friend, I shall pass the matrix of leadership as it was passed to me.
Ultra Magnus: But Prime, I'm - I'm just a soldier. I - I'm not worthy.
Optimus Prime: Nor was I. But one day, an Autobot shall rise from our ranks, and use the power of the matrix to light our darkest hour.
[opens his chest to reveal the matrix. Removes it and begins to hand it over to Ultra Magnus]
Optimus Prime: Until that day, till all are one.
[Matrix starts to fall to the ground. Hot Rod catches it, gives it to Ultra Magnus. Ultra Magnus inserts it inside. Prime dies]
[Optimus has thrown Megatron to the ground]
Kup: Finish him off, Prime! Do it!
[Optimus picks up his laser rifle and takes aim]
Megatron: [feigning defeat as he reaches for a laser gun] No more, Optimus Prime! Grant me mercy, I beg of you!
Optimus Prime: You, who are without mercy, now plead for it? I thought you were made of sterner stuff!
Astrotrain: Jettison the weight or I'll never make it to Cybertron.
Starscream: Fellow Decepticons, Astrotrain has requested that we lighten our burden.
Perceptor: Blaster! Ultra Magnus sent orders to contact Optimus Prime on Moon Base 1.
Blaster: All right. Cover your receptors Perceptor.
Springer: I've got better things to do tonight than die.
[the Decepticons try to see who is most fit to take over Decepticon leadership]
Scrapper: Wait, the Constructicons formed Devastator, the most powerful robot. We should rule!
Soundwave: Soundwave superior. Constructions inferior.
Scavenger: Who are you calling inferior?
Hook: Nobody would follow an uncharismatic bore like you!
[Soundwave ejects his cassette minions]
Rumble: Hey, nobody calls Soundwave uncrassimatic!
Frenzy: Yeah, let's kick tailgate!
[said with smirk on his face]
Starscream: Oh, how it pains me to do this!
Megatron: Wait! I still function!
Starscream: Wanna bet?
[Starscream lets Megatron's body drift from the open shuttle door into space]
Megatron: Starrrrrrrscreammmmmmmmm!... argh!...
[Megatron's crumbled body disappears into space]
Hot Rod: Where'd you learn to talk like that?
Wreck-Gar: T.V. We talk T.V. You talk some T.V.?
Kup: I talk some T.V. And now the news, don't touch that dial.
Wreck-Gar: Happy motoring. Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Wreck-Gar: You check in. But, you don't check out.
Quintesson Judge: Sharkticons, execute them!
Grimlock: Rawr!
[stomps his foot]
Grimlock: Me, Grimlock, say, execute *them*!
[the Sharkticons think about it for a second and then attack the Quintessons]
Kup: I think the problems on this planet will be solved very shortly.
Hot Rod: I never thought I'd be so happy to see those big bozos.
Grimlock: Me, Grimlock, no bozo. Me king!
Kup: Reminds me the Nitith slave mines on Galganas 7.
Hot Rod: Every place reminds you of some place else.
Kup: Experience, lad. You should learn to appreciate it.
Hot Rod: A lot of good it's done us so far.
Jazz: Roger me. Wilco me. Anything. Hello. Hello. Earth?
Quintesson: Would you like to beg for your lives? It sometimes helps... but not often.
Hot Rod: They're closing on us.
Kup: Yep, like the Shrikebats of Dromedon.
Hot Rod: How'd you beat them?
Kup: I'm trying to remember. There were an awful lot of casualties that day. Oh, yeah. We invented polarities!
Kranix: Spare me this mockery of justice.
Kup: I can't transform.
Hot Rod: Keep trying.
Quintesson: Quiet or you'll be held in contempt of this court.
Hot Rod: I have nothing but contempt for this court.
Grimlock: Tell Grimlock about petro-rabbits again.
Kup: I'll give you petro-rabbits.
Quintesson: Guilty or innocent?
Quintesson Judge: Innocent.
Quintesson: Feed them to the Sharkticons.
Galvatron: First Prime, then Ultra Magnus, and now you. It is a pity you Autobots die so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction.
Galvatron: It's a pity you Autobots die so easy!
Galvatron: [Galvatron has just destroyed Starscream] Will anyone else attempt to fill his shoes?
Rumble: What'd he say his name was?
Galvatron: GALVATRON!
Uninjured Decepticons: ALL HAIL GALVATRON! GALVATRON!
Galvatron: I'll rip open Ultra Magnus, and every other Autobot, until the Matrix has been destroyed!
Wreck-Gar: Yes friends, act now, destroy Unicron. Kill the Grand Poobah. Eliminate even the toughest stain.
[after being shot down, captured and imprisoned]
Hot Rod: We've got to get a new travel agent.
Blurr: We got Decepticons at the gates Decepticons in the air Decpticons inside the walls Decepticons Decpticons Decpticons. If we beat them off the walls they're sill in the air if we shoot them out of the air they're still at the gates so where does that leave us? Nowhere that's where.
[Unicron transforms in front of a shocked Galvatron]
Unicron: For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet, Cybertron. But now, you shall witness... its DISMEMBERMENT.
Galvatron: NO!
Perceptor: Ultra Magnus. A cursory evaluation of Decpticon capabilities indicates a distinct tactical deficiency.
Ultra Magnus: In other words Perceptor?
Springer: We're out numbered.
[as the Dinobots walk over a Quintesson]
Slag: Uh... Excuse me.
Preceptor: Run Blaster, save yourself.
Blaster: No way. Two can play. Sick em.
Optimus Prime: Megatron must be stopped... no matter the cost.
Megatron: Why should I, what's in it for me?
Unicron: Your bargaining posture is highly dubious; But very well. I will provide you with a new body, and new troops to command.
Megatron: And?
Unicron: And nothing. You belong to me... now.
Megatron: I belong to nobody.
Unicron: Perhaps I misjudged you. Proceed - on your way to oblivion.
Devastator: Prepare for extermination!
Megatron: Their defenses are down, let the slaughter begin!
Soundwave: Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Ratbat, Eject... operation interference...
Swoop: Me Swoop no see nothing.
Grimlock: Me Grimlock positive Hot Rod and Kup close.
Slag: Me Slag say you full of beryllium baloney!
Grimlock: Me Grimlock say you full of cesium salami.
Slag: Beryllium baloney!
Daniel: LOOK.
Rodimus Prime: Autobots transform and roll out.
Kup: I knew you had potential lad.
Kup: The Insecticons are in our way.
Hot Rod: Wrong. They're our way in. Hyah.
Galvatron: I, Galvatron, will crush you just as Megatron crushed Prime!
Ultra Magnus: And you'll die trying just like Megatron.
Grimlock: Me, Grimlock, not "nice dino." ME BASH BRAINS.
Grimlock: Me, Grimlock, want to munch metal.
Grimlock: Me, Grimlock, kick butt.
[he does, only to realize... ]
Grimlock: Me Grimlock need new strategy!
Optimus Prime: Arise, Rodimus Prime.
Rodimus Prime: Optimus.
Hot Rod: Doesn't this remind you of anythig Kup?
Kup: Nope. I've never seen anything like this.
Unicron: And these... shall be your minions.
Unicron: [after giving Megatron a new body] Behold, Galvatron! And these shall be your minions.
[giving Thundercracker, Shrapnel, and Kickback new bodies]
Unicron: Scourge, the tracker. And his huntsmen, the Sweeps.
[giving Skywarp and Bombshell new bodies]
Unicron: Cyclonus, the warrior. And his armada.
Spike: It isn't even dented? Oh shit, what are we going to do now?
Optimus Prime: Ironhide, report to me at once.
Ironhide: Every time I look into a monitor Prime, my circuts sizzle. When are we going to start busting Deceptichops?
Optimus Prime: I want you to make a special run to Autobot City on earth.
Ironhide: But Prime.
Optimus Prime: Listen Ironhide... We don't have enough energon cubes to power a full-scale assault.
Megatron: I'll rip out your optics.
Ultra Magnus: Perceptor, can you locate a place to set down for repairs?
Perceptor: Gamma Waves in this sector of space create marginal navigation probablilites, however...
[Ultra Magnus and Springer look impatient]
Perceptor: hehem, Yes I believe I can. The planet of Junk is in this vicinity.
Galvatron: Magnus, I want the matrix.
Ultra Magnus: Never.
Galvatron: Sweeps, terminate him.
Arcee: I was afraid you'd be trapped outside the city.
Hot Rod: Hey, I wasn't worried for a micro-second.
Arcee: Then you probably didn't understand the situation.
Arcee: Stay close to me, Daniel.
Hot Rod: And you'd better stay close to me.
Arcee: No you'd better stay close to me.
Kup: Of all the circuit glitched, diode blown dimwittery. You left a piece out.
Hot Rod: No way. You're just a little stiff.
Kup: Anyway all things considered you did an amazing job lad. Amazing.
Hot Rod: Really?
Kup: Yeah. You even got rid of a nasty burr in my rotator. Now let's find the Dinobots and get off of this twisted planet.
Megatron: Breach their defenses.
Kickback: Delicious eh Shrapnel?
Shrapnel: A little heavy on the electrons Electron.
Jazz: Where'd that come from?
Cliffjumper: Who cares? I'm more worried about where it's going.
Ultra Magnus: You're all alive.
Hot Rod: The Matrix?
Ultra Magnus: It's gone.
Kup: and with it all hope.
Hot Rod: No.
Arcee: Galvatron has it.
Hot Rod: Where's Galvatron? Where is he?
Wreck-Gar: The Answer is UNICRON.
Hot Rod: The Matrix.
Galvatron: It will do you no good Autobot. It cannot be opened.
Hot Rod: Not by a Decepticon.
Galvatron: Like it or not we are allies now against a common foe.
[Shrill noises and bright lights surround Galvatron]
Unicron: Destroy him Galvatron NOW or you, yourself shall be obliterated.
Galvatron: Yes my master.
Galvatron: Punny Autobot. You lack even Prime's courage. Come out Autobot. We all must die sometime.
Hot Rod: Not today Galvatron.
[Hot Rod tackles Galvatron. Galvatron then puts his hands around Hot Rod's throat and begins choking him]
Galvatron: Die Autobot.
Hot Rod: What is this place?
Kranix: The world of the savage Sharkticons and their cruel masters the Quintessons. I am Kranix. My planet was destroyed by Unicron.
Hot Rod: Unicron? Who's Unicron?
Kranix: A planet, that devours everything in its path.
Kup: So that's the creature's name?
Ultra Magnus: Springer. You and Arcee transform Autobot City, Perceptor tell Blaster to radio Prime for reinforcements.
Blurr: What about me Magnus? Hmm? Huh? Hmm? Huh? I can help. What about me?
Ultra Magnus: Blurr you can help me alert the others.
Blurr: Absolutely, positively, definitely. Nobody can get the job done faster than I can. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody.
Springer: Come on Arcee let's go.
Arcee: But Hot Rod and Kup are still outside the city.
Springer: We can't wait. They'll have to look after themselves. Come on.
Springer: Ignition and...
Daniel: Wait Ultra Magnus. Arcee is still out there.
Springer: JUMP.
[Arcee jumps and grabs on to the shuttle's hatch. Springer pulls Arcee in]
Arcee: Thanks.
Daniel: That was close.
Springer: Believe it or not that was the fun part.
Blaster: Hey Perceptor, what's shaking? Other than this fortress?
Grimlock: Me Grimlock no kisser, Me Grimlock king.
Kup: Turbo revin young punk. I'll straighten you out yet.
Rodimus Prime: Let this mark the end of the Cybertronian Wars as we march forward to a new age of peace and happiness... Til all are one!
Springer, Arcee, Kup: Till all are one!
Unicron: Destiny... you cannot... destroy... my... DESTINY!
Wreck-Gar: Offer expires while you wait, operators are standing by
Galvatron: How dare Unicron! Cybertron and all its moons belong to me!
Scourge: But remember we belong to him.
Galvatron: I belong to nobody.
[Unicron tortures him]
Galvatron: I will obey, Unicron. Decipticons, to earth.
Starscream: Astrotrain has requested that we lighten our burden.
Uninjured Decepticons: In that case I say it is survival of the fittest!
Starscream: Do I hear a second on that?
Uninjured Decepticons: Aye!
Starscream: And against?
Injured Decepticons: Nay!
Starscream: The Ayes have it!
[throws injured Decepticons out of the ship]
Wheelie: Wheelie say, meet friends today!
Grimlock: Me Grimlock say, we on our way!
Spike: This is Spike and Bumblebee up here on Moon Base II.
Bumblebee: This thing, this monster planet, just ripped the first moon to shreds.
Spike: And it's heading this way.
Bumblebee: We'll try to hold it down.
Spike: But you'd better get here fast because we're not going to...
[static]
Daniel: Dad!
Optimus Prime: Dinobots, destroy Devastator!
Grimlock: Me, Grimlock, love challenge!
Kup: Grimlock, get your noodle outta my face!
Grimlock: Me, Grimlock, love Kup's war stories.
Kup: You're living one, now.
[Galvatron triumphantly holds the Matrix in his hand]
Galvatron: Unicron, my master... with this, I shall make you my slave.
Unicron: This is my command: you are to destroy the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. It is the one thing... the *only* thing... that can stand in my way.
Megatron: You have nothing to fear. I have already crushed Optimus Prime with my bare hands!
Unicron: You exaggerate.
Megatron: The point is he's dead! And the Matrix died with him!
Hot Rod: Kup? Talk to me.
Kup: Fix me...
Springer: Kup and Hot-Rod just bought it.
Ultra Magnus: I can't deal with that right now.
Springer: Face it Magnus. The Decepticons are going to dog us until they see us dead.
Ultra Magnus: Then that's exactly what they're going to see. Prepare for emergency seperation.
Perceptor: That's too dangerous.
Ultra Magnus: What choice do we have?
Hot Rod: [after landing on the planet of Junk and encountering the Junkions] Guns aren't exactly friendly.
Kup: Neither are they in case you haven't noticed!
[as Prime battles Megatron]
Hot Rod: I've got to help Prime.
Kup: Stay away, lad. That's Prime's fight.
Narrator: The battle is over, but the galaxy spaning adventures of the Transformers will continue and the greatest Autobot of them all-Optimus Prime-will return.
Springer: Looks like you're bunking with me, Daniel!
Daniel: All right!
Springer: But if you get space sick you're walking your way home.
Blurr: Without the Matrix there is no hope. No hope, no hope, no hope at all.
Blitzwing: Come on down Autobrat!
[first lines]
Kranix: Arblus, look! It's Unicron!
Kup: Yep, I remember the dust was so thick on Beta 4, you had to use windshield wipers on your optic sensors.
Grimlock: Me Grimlock know all about wipers! Want to hear good part of story!
Swoop: Good part, Kup. Tell Swoop good part.
Kup: Ok, ok. Well, the dust was really thick, and this gigantic icthyac came tromping down the mountain, flames spewing out of its nostrils, and I thought for sure...
Hot Rod: Hey, Kup, don't you think we have betters things to do now than tell old stories?
Kup: Like what?
Hot Rod: Like maybe figure out how we're gonna rescue our friends and then save Cybertron.
Grimlock: No! Tell story!
Shockwave: Decepticons, we're under attack! Scramble!
Starscream: [Megatron has been gravely injured in his fight with Optimus Prime] How do you feel, mighty Megatron?
Starscream: [Starscream kicks Megatron]
