Perceptor Ultra Magnus, a cursory evaluation of Decepticon capabilities indicates a distinct tactical deficiency.
In other words, Perceptor—
Springer, you and Arcee transform Autobot City. Perceptor, tell Blaster to radio Prime for reinforcements.
[speaking quickly]
What about me, Magnus, what about me? Huh, huh? I can help. I wanna help. What about me?
Blurr, you can help me alert the others.
[speaking quickly]
Absolutely, positively, definitely! Nobody can get the job done faster than I can! Nobody, nobody, nobody!
Come on, Arcee, let's go!
But Hot Rod and Kup are still outside the city.
We can't wait, they'll have to take care of themselves, come on.
B 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.
B 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!
Perceptor I fear the wounds are... fatal.
Do not grieve. Soon... I will be one with the Matrix.
Ultra Magnus. It is to you, old friend, that I shall pass the Matrix of Leadership, as it was... passed to me.
But Prime... I'm... I'm just a soldier. I'm not worthy.
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] [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]
Did we have to let them detonate three quarters of the ship?
Seeing as how they would have detonated four quarters, I think it was a good choice.
But how are we going to get there in this wreck?
Perceptor, can you locate a place a set down for repairs?
Perceptor Gamma waves in this sector of space create marginal navigational probabilities, however...
Perceptor [Ultra Magnus and Springer look impatient]
Ahem, yes, I believe I can. The planet of Junk is in this vicinity.
