Peter Cullen: Optimus Prime, It

Quotes 

• 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!

• Goldbug : Back, I'm better than ever! I've gone beyond being plain old Bumblebee, I'm a Gold Bug!

  Optimus Prime : That you are, Bumblebee! So from now, on that's exactly who you'll be, Goldbug.

• Hot Rod : The wisdom of the ages... it's lost.

  Optimus Prime : Not lost. We're all a little wiser now.

  Hot Rod : But the Matrix is empty.

  Optimus Prime : It's up to all of us to fill with the wisdom we accumulate from this day forward. Autobots... transform and roll out!

• 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!

• Galvatron : Come on, Optimus, tell me! Why do you want this metal? How will it be used? Why is it so precious?

  Optimus Prime : I've explained it to you.

  Galvatron : You told me it was important, but you didn't tell me why!

  Optimus Prime : That's because I know you too well, Galvatron.

• Alpha Trion : Optimus... why have you returned?

  Optimus Prime : To find a cure for the spore plague. Can you help me, Alpha Trion?

  Alpha Trion : If there is a cure, I know nothing of it.

  Optimus Prime : Then I must journey farther back.

  Alpha Trion : Be careful! For if you travel too far, you may become lost, and never find your way back!

  Optimus Prime : If I do not try, there may be nothing to return to.

• Optimus Prime : No more games, Rodimus! Innocent lives are at stake!

  Rodimus Prime : No one is innocent!

• Blurr : Yeah! Let's go kick some Decepti-tail! I'm ready, willing and able! You can't keep a good robot down, you know what I mean? Let's go, let's go, let's go! What are we waitin' for?

  Goldbug : Chill out, Blurr! We need a plan! Okay, Optimus, what's the plan?

  Optimus Prime : I... have no plan.

• Optimus Prime : I don't want to hurt you, Rodimus!

  Rodimus Prime : Don't worry, Optimus, you won't! HAHAHAHAH!
