The Transformers: The Movie quotes

View Quote Shockwave: Laserbeak returns, Megatron.
Megatron: Ah, welcome, Laserbeak. Unlike some of my other warriors, you never fail me. [glances pointedly at Starscream, who looks up] Soundwave, play back Laserbeak's findings.
Soundwave: As you command, Megatron.
Optimus Prime: [on the play back] I want you to make a special run to Autobot City on Earth.
Ironhide: But, Prime—
[Megatron wickedly smiles, happy at possible objection of an order by an Autobot from a superior, leading to possible dissention in the Autobot ranks]
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.

View Quote [The Decepticons invade the Autobot shuttle]
Brawn: Megatron?!
Prowl: Decepticons!
Megatron: DIE, AUTOBOTS!
[After a short battle, the Decepticons annihilate the Autobot crew]
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: Nooo! [grabs Megatron's leg]
Megatron: Such heroic nonsense... [kills Ironhide with a blast of his cannon]

View Quote Perceptor: Ultra Magnus, a cursory evaluation of Decepticon capabilities indicates a distinct tactical deficiency.
Ultra Magnus: In other words, Perceptor—
Springer: —We're outnumbered!
Ultra Magnus: Springer, you and Arcee transform Autobot City. Perceptor, tell Blaster to radio Prime for reinforcements.
Blurr: [speaking quickly] What about me, Magnus, what about me? Huh, huh? I can help. I wanna help. What about me?
Ultra Magnus: Blurr, you can help me alert the others.
Blurr: [speaking quickly] Absolutely, positively, definitely! Nobody can get the job done faster than I can! Nobody, nobody, nobody!
Springer: Come on, Arcee, let's go!
Arcee: But Hot Rod and Kup are still outside the city.
Springer: We can't wait, they'll have to take care of themselves, come on.

View Quote Blaster: Look out shout, owww! Hey, Perceptor, what's shakin'? other than this fortress.
Perceptor: Blastor, Ultra Magnus sends orders to contact Optimus Prime on Moonbase 1.
Blaster: All right! Cover your sensors, Perceptor. [transforms into a radio] Optimus prime, do you read me? The Decepticons are blitzing Autobot City! We're ready to get a pounding; don't know how much longer we can hold out!

View Quote Megatron: Breach their defenses!
Kickback: Delicious, eh, Shrapnel?
Shrapnel: A little heavy on the electrons, electrons.
[Kup and Hot Rod race to Autobot City]
Kup: The Insecticons are in our way!
Hot Rod: Wrong, they're our way in! Yahh!! [rams into Kickback]

View Quote Megatron: Constructicons! Merge for the kill!
Daniel: Kup, Hot Rod! Look!
Kup: Devastator...
[The Constructicons merge into Devastator]
Devastator: Prepare for extermination!

View Quote Optimus Prime: Dinobots, destroy Devastator!
Grimlock: Me, Grimlock, love challenge. [the Dinobots exit to fight Devastator] DINOBOTS, TRANSFORM!!

View Quote 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.
Megatron: NO!! I'LL CRUSH YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS!!!

View Quote [Optimus Prime has thrown Megatron into the ground]
Kup: Finish him off, Prime! Do it now!
[Optimus picks up his laser rifle and takes aim]
Megatron: [feigning defeat as he reaches his laser pistol] 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!

View Quote Megatron: [points a gun at Optimus Prime's head] I would have waited an eternity for this. It's over, Prime.
Optimus Prime: ... NEVER!!! [knocks down Megatron, who then falls down and gets himself wounded]

View Quote Perceptor: I fear the wounds are... fatal.
Daniel: Prime, you can't die!
Optimus Prime: Do not grieve. Soon... I will be one with the Matrix.
Hot Rod: Prime...
Optimus Prime: Ultra Magnus. It is to you, old friend, that 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'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.
[Prime's chest compartment opens to reveal the Matrix. Awed, the Autobots take a step back]
Optimus Prime: [last words] Until that day...'til all are won.
[Optimus tries to give the Matrix to Ultra Magnus, but it falls until Hot Rod catches it. Hot Rod gives the Matrix to Ultra Magnus, right before Optimus dies]

View Quote Astrotrain: Jettison some weight, or I'll never make it to Cybertron!
Starscream: Fellow Decepticons! Astrotrain has requested that we lighten our burden.
Bonecrusher: In that case, I say it is survival of the fittest.
Starscream: Do I hear a second on that?
Undamaged Decepticons: Aye!
Starscream: And against?
Damaged Decepticons: [weakly] Nay.
Starscream: The Ayes have it!
Undamaged Decepticon: Get! Make room for others!
Damaged Decepticon: No, wait! Brothers, don't!
[The damaged Decepticons are tossed out of Astrotrain's door. Starscream carries the damaged Megatron to the door.]
Starscream: Oh, how it pains me to do this! [smirks viciously]
Megatron: Wait...! I still function!
Starscream: Wanna bet? [releases Megatron into deep space and closes the door.]
Megatron: STAAAARSCREEEAAAAAAM!!!!! [his crumbled body disappears into space]
Starscream: Well, [dusts off hands] as Megatron has - how shall we say, "departed" - I nominate myself as the new leader!
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!
Rumble: Hey! Nobody calls Soundwave un-cruzimatic!
Frenzy: Yeah, lets kick tailgate!
[The Decepticons begin fighting one another for leadership]

View Quote Unicron: Megatron... Megatron... Welcome, Megatron.
Megatron: Who... Who said that?
Unicron: I am Unicron.
Megatron: Show yourself.
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!
Unicron: No. The point is you were a fool. The Matrix has been passed to their new leader, Ultra Magnus. Destroy it for me.
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've misjudged you. Proceed... on your way to oblivion.

View Quote [It is Starscream's coronation. Astrotrain tries to put the crown on Starscream, only to be distracted by the trumpet-blowing Constructicons.]
Starscream: [impatiently] Get on with the ceremony!
[The Constructicons pause, looking at each other in confusion. After they start up again, Starscream blows the trumpets away with his cannon. Astrotrain then crowns him]
Starscream: My fellow Decepticons! As your new leader, I—
[Starscream gasps as Cyclonus appears, causing the Decepticons to scatter]
Starscream: WHO DISRUPTS MY CORONATION!!??
[Galvatron hops out of Cyclonus's ****pit and approaches the steps]
Galvatron: Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy!
Starscream: Megatron? IS THAT YOU!!??
Galvatron: HERE'S A HINT!!!
[Galvatron transforms into his cannon mode and blasts Starscream, reducing him to a pair of legs into ashes. His crown falls to Galvatron's feet, which he proceeds to crush with a stomp of his foot]
Galvatron: Will anyone else attempt to fill his shoes?
Rumble: Eh, what'd he say his name was?
Galvatron: Galvatron.
Decepticons: Long live Galvatron! Galvatron!

View Quote Galvatron: I, Galvatron, will crush you just as Megatron crushed Prime!
Ultra Magnus: And you'll die trying, just like Megatron!
Galvatron: [growls] Autobot scrap!
Scourge: You want to me to gut Ultra Magnus?
Galvatron: There are plenty of Autobots for you. Ultra Magnus is mine!
