- Optimus Prime: You... should have finished me.
- Hot Rod: Believe me, I tried.
- Optimus Prime: [Optimus starts struggling, remembering who brought him back/why] ... Until all are... ONE! Monsters! They made me a weapon against the very ones I *loved* in life.
- [opens his chest takes out the Matrix and inserts it into Hot Rod]
- Optimus Prime: But *you* shall save them, Rodimus Prime!
- Quintesson #1: The entire Autobot fleet moves to attack us.
- Quintesson #2: Precisely as we predicted.
- Quintesson #3: May I propose an anticipatory snicker of triumph?
- Rodimus Prime: I don't know if I'll ever be the leader you were, but for sure... I'm gonna try. So long, Prime.
- Hot Rod: [after he's faked being hit by a shot] Ha ha. Fooled you.
- Optimus Prime: Not a game Rodimus!
- Rodimus Prime: Hey, he's here, he's back, and who cares how!
- Optimus Prime: Must... complete... plan...
- [Optimus abruptly walks offscreen]
- Rodimus Prime: Yeah! What's the plan?
- Spike Witwicky: Great. What'll Daniel and I do when the air runs out?
- Rodimus Prime: Basically you'll have two choices: suffocate, or smother.
- Optimus Prime: Rodimus, Kup, Ultra Magnus and Arcee. They gave their lives so that I might return to Cybertron.
- Perceptor: Daniel and Spike?
- Optimus Prime: The Quintessons left no survivors.
- Grimlock: Quintessons! Me Grimlock thump Quintessons flat into ground!
- [Growls]
- Optimus Prime: We will mobilize all our forces and move against the Quintessons!
- Springer: Those five-faced tentacled slime are gonna pay for this but good!
- [Under his breath]
- Springer: I mean it, Arcee.
- Kup: Where is everybody?
- Sludge: All go smash Quintessons.
- Ultra Magnus: Quintessons? What have Quintessons got to do with any of this?
- Snarl: They kill you! Optimus Prime say so!... Uh-oh. Something not right.
