"But the specimen you see before you" "Was bred in the laboratory," "Cloned from fossilized remains," "Which I discovered on cybertron." "Shockwave, it does my spark good to see you once again" "Tampering with creation." "Master, please!" "Keep your distance!" "No need for alarm." "The beast is completely under my control."

"If the decepticons had the ability" "To track autobot signals," "We'd have all been at megatron's mercy" "Here on earth a long time ago." "Back where we started."

"As for your broader question," "My story is that of all autobots since the exodus." "I wandered the spaceways in search of others," "Reuniting with some," "Often only to see them fall at the hands of the decepticons." "Until you detected the omega beam, and followed it here." "If you are referring to the massive energy burst" "Originating from cybertron, that would be affirmative." "Upon my arrival, it became evident" "That this planet had been invaded." "My scanners also detected autobot life signals," "Yours being in closest proximity to my position." "Signals?" "As in plural?" "Sir." "Five total." "Out of seven." "Jack, that doesn't necessarily mean what you're thinking." "Autobot signals can't be detected" "When they're shielded." "Cozy little place you built for yourself, megatron." "Finding the forge in there may take awhile" "Then, again, maybe you still keep your valuables" "In the usual place." "I won't let you down, optimus." "Starscream:" "I'm sorry, "overreacting?"" "Easy for you to say, knock out." "Nobody here wants your post." "I, on the other hand, hold the most coveted position" "Within the decepticon ranks."

"And optimus remained behind, to destroy the groundbridge," "To ensure that everyone else made it to safety." "I watched the base go down." "No one or thing walked out of there." "Not that we could see." "Even if prime survived," "I'm not sure we can afford to wait for him to show up." "Not with megatron holding our planet hostage" "From his high and mighty perch at darkmount." "I would be inclined to agree with the native life-form." "We must stop megatron, with or without optimus prime." "Optimus!" "I have the forge!" "You can use it to repair yourself!" "That is not the reason" "I had you retrieve the relic." "What?" "I don't understand." "The power of the forge is not unlimited." "Its energy has already begun to ebb." "So it's running low, who cares?" "All we need is enough juice" "To get you back into fighting shape!" "Whatever power remains" "Must be used to rebuild the omega lock," "To restore cybertron." "But that would mean..."
