- Starscream: Ah, never before have I seen a more impressive group of lethal fighting machines. And pretty good looking, if I don't say so myself. That pompous, bag of bolt Megatron won't know what hit him! He'll be crushed in our wake!
- Skywarp: Us? Against Megatron? Are you insane?
- [Meekly]
- Skywarp: Ah, I think I just sprang an oil leak...
- Thundercracker: Silence, you fool! Megatron is a worthless pile of scrap metal compared to my genius.
- Sunstorm: Brilliant observation! Brilliant! But your genius pales in comparison to the genius of our leader, the original Starscream.
- Starscream: Mmm, I could listen to this one all day!
- Ramjet: What are you talking about? I am the original Starscream!
- Starscream: Liar! I am the original Starscream.
- Ramjet: I never said I was the original Starscream.
- Starscream: You just did right now.
- Ramjet: No, I didn't.
- Starscream: Yes, you did.
- Ramjet: No, I didn't.
- Starscream: Yes, you did!
- Ramjet: No. I. Didn't.
- Slipstream: Ohh, haven't you figured it out yet? He's a pathological liar. Each of us clones represents one aspect of your personality.
- [points to each clone in turn]
- Slipstream: He's a coward... he's an egomaniac... he's a suck-up... he's a liar.
- Ramjet: I am not!
- Starscream: So, which part of me did you come from?
- Slipstream: Don't ask.
- Starscream: [sigh] This is going to be a long orbital cycle.
- Shockwave: Everything is going as planned, oh great one. As you predicted, the Decepticon uprisings at the rim of the galaxy are straining Autobot forces to the breaking point.
- Megatron: Excellent, but I have a more immediate problem. Track down Cybertron's top space bridge technician and deliver him to Earth as soon as possible. By any means necessary. The future of Decepticon victory depends on it.
- Shockwave: One moment, excellency. While I access the Cybertronian data net... Oh, that's odd.
- Megatron: What is?
- Shockwave: I've tracked down Cybertron's top space bridge expert, but he's not on Cybertron.
- Megatron: Then where is he?
- Shockwave: On Earth.
- Bumblebee: All right, Zippy, start talking!
- [Blurr transforms from vehicle mode to robot mode]
- Blurr: First of all, the name's not "Zippy"! As a matter of fact, I don't believe I've ever met another bot named Zippy, so one can only assume that you came up with "Zippy" in reference to my speed, which may be technically accurate, but lacks a certain creativity!
- Bumblebee: Eh... eh-eh...
- Blurr: More to the point, the name's Blurr! I'm an Autobot intelligence agent, sent to this planet by the Elite Guard to keep an eye on Optimus Prime and his crew as well as monitor the Decepticon activity, and you, my friend, have just blown a decacycle of covert surveillance designed to uncover Megatron's plot to conquer Cybertron. Everything was going according to plan when I intercepted a communication between the Decepticon leader and an unknown double agent! They were in the midst of plotting the abduction of an unsuspecting Autobot, which now, from the status of the current ground situation, appears to have been successful. Got that so far?
- Bumblebee: Uh... could you repeat the last part?
- Blurr: Which last part?
- Bumblebee: Oh, everything after "The name's not Zippy."
- Optimus Prime: So let me get this straight, you're an Autobot intelligence officer and you've found Megatron's hideout?
- Blurr: That is correct, Optimus Prime. I have already reported my findings to the Elite Guard, requesting immediate reinforcements, but was informed that initial support would be delayed due to the fact that the Autobot forces are stretched too thin combating Decepticon uprisings along the edge of the galaxy. Further intelligence has also revealed that a human named Isaac Sumdac has been cooperating with the Decepticon leader by reverse engineering a space bridge schematic stolen by your ship. Which in Megatron intends to use to stage a sneak attack inside of Cybertron while planet's defense forces are at their weakest. But he's runnign difficulty getting the device operational. That's where you fellow buck comes in. Earlier today, I intercepted a communication between Megatron and a Decepticon double agent involving a plot to kidnap Autobot Bulkhead after discovering he's the galaxy's foremost expert in space bridge technology. Average to course, I mean that some kind of cooperation would undoubtedly have dire results and lead to Megatron's...
- Bumblebee: Woah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up!
- Prowl: Did he just say Bulkhead?
- Optimus Prime: Our Bulkhead?
- Ratchet: An expert? On anything?
- Starscream: The time has come to purge the universe of that accursed Megatron! And forever seal my destiny as the one true ruler of the Decepticons!
- Thundercracker: You second rates clones aren't even worthy to breath my exhaust fumes!
- [Thundercracker and the other clones blast off towards Earth]
- Starscream: I must be a bigger pain in the gearshaft then I thought.
- Slipstream: Well, well, well... Look who just got to the party!
- Starscream: Don't start with me, woman!
