- [before their final 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.
- [Optimus Prime has thrown Megatron to the ground]
- Kup: Finish him off, Prime! Do it now!
- [Optimus Prime 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!
- Unicron: I have summoned you here for a purpose.
- Megatron: Nobody summons Megatron.
- Unicron: Then it pleases me to be the first.
- Megatron: State your business.
- 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!
- 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.
- [Unicron begins to dissolve Megatron]
- Megatron: No, no. I accept your terms! I accept!
- Unicron: Excellent!
- Hot Rod: [about the Sharkticons] We can't hold out forever, Kup, but we *can* give them one *humongous* repair bill.
- Hot Rod: I never thought I'd be so happy to see those big bozos.
- Grimlock: Me Grimlock no bozo. Me king!
- Quintesson Judge: Sharkticons, execute them!
- [Grimlock stomps his foot]
- Grimlock: Me Grimlock say, execute *them*!
- [the Sharkticons think about it for a second then attack the Quintessons]
- Kup: I think the problems on this planet will be solved very shortly.
- Hot Rod: Yeah, but what about our problems? We need a ship.
- 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.
- [Optimus Prime 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.
- [the Matrix starts to fall to the ground. Hot Rod catches it, gives it to Ultra Magnus. Ultra Magnus inserts it inside. Optimus Prime dies]
- [the Decepticons attempt to find out who is most worthy to take over Decepticon leadership]
- Scrapper: Wait, the Constructicons form Devastator, the most powerful robot. We should rule!
- Soundwave: Soundwave superior. Constructicons inferior.
- Bonecrusher: 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!
- Hot Rod: We've got to get a new travel agent. 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 monster's name.
- 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: [crushing Starscream's fallen crown under his foot] Will anyone else attempt to fill his shoes?
- Rumble: What did he say his name was?
- Galvatron: Galvatron!
- Uninjured Decepticons: Long live Galvatron! Galvatron!
- Blurr: [speaking very fast] We got Decepticons at the gates! Decepticons in the air! Decepticons inside the walls! Decepticons, Decepticons, Decepticons! If we beat them off the walls they're still 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!
- [pointing a gun at Optimus Prime's head]
- Megatron: I would have waited an eternity for this. It's over, Prime.
- [the Decepticons ambush the Autobots on board the shuttle]
- Brawn: Megatron? Decepticons!
- Megatron: Die, Autobots!
- [the Decepticons kill the Autobots on board the shuttle except Ironhide]
- Megatron: 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!
- [blasts off Ironhide's head, killing him]
- Shockwave: Laserbeak returns, Megatron.
- Megatron: Welcome, Laserbeak! Unlike some of my other warriors, you never fail me. Soundwave, play back Laserbeak's findings.
- Soundwave: As you command, Megatron.
- Optimus Prime: [on the playback] 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.
- Ultra Magnus: Blurr, get the Dinobots in the shuttle!
- Blurr: [speaking quickly] I'm trying to get them in the 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 'cause they're impossible, impossible, impossible!
- Ultra Magnus: Okay, 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!
- Ultra Magnus: [straining] Open, damn it, open! Prime, you said the Matrix would light our darkest hour.
- [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: Starscream!... argh!...
- [Megatron's crumbled body disappears into space]
- Perceptor: Ultra Magnus, a cursory evaluation of Decepticon capability indicates a distinct tactical deficiency!
- Ultra Magnus: In other words, Perceptor...?
- Springer: We're outnumbered!
- 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.
- Wreck-Gar: Yes friends, act now, destroy Unicron! Kill the Grand Poobah! Eliminate even the toughest stains!
- Jazz: [sees Unicron] Where'd that come from?
- Cliffjumper: Who cares? I'm more worried about where it's going.
- Galvatron: Puny 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. First Prime, then Ultra Magnus, and now you. It's a pity you Autobots die so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now.
- 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?
- 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.
- 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: Okay, okay. 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 better 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!
- Quintesson: Would you like to beg for your lives? It sometimes helps... but not often.
- Kup: I can't transform.
- Hot Rod: Keep trying.
- Quintesson: Silence or you'll be held in contempt of this court.
- Hot Rod: I have nothing but contempt for this court.
- Blaster: Hey, Perceptor, what's shaking? Other than this fortress?
- Perceptor: Blaster, Ultra Magnus sent orders to contact Optimus Prime on Moon Base One!
- Blaster: All right! Cover your receptors, Perceptor!
- [He transforms into a ghetto blaster and broadcasts the message]
- 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.
