A scene from Transformers One 2024
Alpha Trion
[the protagonists have just learned the truth, and are bitter about it]

Now you have seen the truth.

D-16
[crushed and bitterly]

Every day... every single day of my life... has been... a lie.

Orion Pax
[angered]

My God, I knew it! Deep down, I always felt something was off.

D-16
[bitterly]

He deceived... everyone.

Elita-1
[angered]

Sentinel bought himself power and then put us to work paying off his debt.

B-127
[ashamed]

I can't believe it. Well, obviously, I can believe it; I just saw it, but I still... I can't believe it.

D-16
[bitterly]

Sentinel lied [frowns angrily, and starts to boil up] to my face.

Orion Pax

It was all a sham. How could we have been so gullible? Oh, this... this is going to change everything.

D-16
[Orion, Elita, and B notice D-16 grunting in anger and stomping on his miner badge.]

You just had to do it, didn't you?

Orion Pax

Me...? What did I do?

D-16

You just had to go to the surface, had to enter the Iacon 5000; you just had to break protocol!

Orion Pax

Who cares about protocol?

D-16

I do! I care, because nothing bad happens when you stay on protocol!

Orion Pax

Sentinel Prime has been forcing us to work in the mines until our gears strip. And all the while, he's been giving the Energon away to our greatest enemies.

D-16

Uhh, and what do you think he's gonna do to us when he finds out that we know?

Orion Pax

I'm not thinking about what he's going to do; I'm thinking about what we're going to do.

D-16

Well, that's the whole thing! You're never thinking about anything else, just yourself! Fantastic! Another Orion Pax master plan! I can't wait to hear this!

Orion Pax

Hey, don't you want to stop him?

D-16

NO, I WANT TO KILL HIM! I want to put Sentinel in chains and march him through the mines so EVERYONE can see him for the FALSE PRIME that he is! I want him to suffer, and then to die in DARKNESS! But we all know that it doesn't matter what I want, right, Pax? The fact is, we're just cogless bots. Right?! [Orion begins to ponder] Ha, ha, we had limited options, and now... now we have none.

Alpha Trion

No son or daughter of Cybertron is born without a cog.

D-16

Oh, yeah. I've been myself since I came online, and this slot's always been empty.

Elita-1

What are you saying? Are you saying...?

B-127

No! No way! Nobody could be that evil, not even Sentinel.

Alpha Trion

He removed your cogs before you came online.
