11 scenesSoundwave, superior. Constructicons, inferior.
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.
As you command, Megatron.
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]
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.
Brawn
[The Decepticons invade the Autobot shuttle]
Megatron?!
Prowl
Decepticons!
Megatron DIE, AUTOBOTS!
Megatron [After a short battle, the Decepticons annihilate the Autobot crew]
This was almost too easy, 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!
Nooo! [grabs Megatron's leg]
Megatron Such heroic nonsense... [kills Ironhide with a blast of his cannon]
Megatron Breach their defenses!
Kickback
Delicious, eh, Shrapnel?
Shrapnel
A little heavy on the electrons, electrons.
Wrong, they're our way in! Yahh!! [rams into Kickback]
Megatron Constructicons! Merge for the kill!
Kup, Hot Rod! Look!
Devastator...
Devastator
[The Constructicons merge into Devastator]
Prepare for extermination!
Megatron [surprised]
Prime.
One shall stand, one shall fall.
Megatron Why throw away your life so recklessly?
That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron.
Megatron NO!! I'LL CRUSH YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS!!!
Megatron [Optimus picks up his laser rifle and takes aim] [feigning defeat as he reaches his laser pistol]
No more, Optimus Prime! Grant me mercy, I beg of you!
You, who are without mercy, now plead for it? I thought you were made of sterner stuff!
Megatron [points a gun at Optimus Prime's head]
I would have waited an eternity for this. It's over, Prime.
... NEVER!!! [knocks down Megatron, who then falls down and gets himself wounded]
Astrotrain
Jettison some weight, or I'll never make it to Cybertron!
Fellow Decepticons! Astrotrain has requested that we lighten our burden.
Bonecrusher
In that case, I say it is survival of the fittest.
Do I hear a second on that?
Undamaged Decepticons
Aye!
And against?
Damaged Decepticons
[weakly]
Nay.
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.]
Oh, how it pains me to do this! [smirks viciously]
Megatron Wait...! I still function!
Wanna bet? [releases Megatron into deep space and closes the door.]
Megatron STAAAARSCREEEAAAAAAM!!!!! [his crumbled body disappears into space]
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: superior. Constructicons: inferior.
Bonecrusher
Who are you calling inferior?!
Hook
Nobody would follow an uncharismatic bore like you!
Hey! Nobody calls Soundwave un-cruzimatic!
Frenzy
Yeah, lets kick tailgate!
[The Decepticons begin fighting one another for leadership]
Megatron... Megatron... Welcome, Megatron.
Megatron Who... Who said that?
I am Unicron.
Megatron Show yourself.
I have summoned you here for a purpose.
Megatron Nobody summons Megatron!
Then it pleases me to be the first.
Megatron State your business.
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.
You exaggerate.
Megatron The point is he's dead, and the Matrix died with him!
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?
Your bargaining posture is highly dubious... but very well. I will provide you with a new body, and new troops to command.
Megatron And?
And nothing! You belong to me now.
Megatron I BELONG TO NOBODY!
Perhaps I've misjudged you. Proceed... on your way to oblivion.
