- Quintesson: I've done it! Optimus Prime lives!
- Sky Lynx: It's true. Our leader is back.
- Optimus Prime: Yes, Sky Lynx. And this time, no force in the universe can stop me!
- Bumblebee: Back, I'm better than ever! I've gone beyond being plain old Bumblebee! I'm a Gold Bug!
- Optimus Prime: That your are, Bumblebee! So from now on, that's exactly who you'll be, Goldbug.
- Autobot Elder: The plague you speak of has visited us once before. A wise man was able to contain the spores, and shoot them into a sun. The only way to fight such madness is with wisdom. Unfortunately, no one person now has the wisdom to contain the spores, much less destroy them now that they are spread across the galaxy.
- Optimus Prime: Perhaps there does exist a source of wisdom powerful enough to destroy the spores, and save the galaxy. The accumulated wisdom that resides within the Matrix!
- Quintesson: [after Galvatron enters the control room] Please stop!
- Galvatron: Never, Quintesson! This world is ours! Optimus Prime shall die again!
- [Lights start to come out of Optimus Prime. Galvatron stops]
- Galvatron: [surprised] What? What is this?
- Optimus Prime: [awakens, opens his chest and removes and opens the Matrix] Now light our darkest hour!
