Kickback
Delicious, eh, Shrapnel?
Shrapnel
A little heavy on the electrons, electrons.
Hot Rod Wrong, they're our way in! Yahh!! [rams into Kickback]
I fear the wounds are... fatal.
Prime, you can't die!
Do not grieve. Soon... I will be one with the Matrix.
Hot Rod Prime...
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]
Stay close to me, Daniel!
Hot Rod And you'd better stay close to me!
No, you'd better stay close to me.
Blurr, get the Dinobots in the shuttle!
[speaking quickly]
I'm trying to get the Dinobots into the shuttle, Ultra Magnus, 'cause I know we can't launch the shuttle until I get them into the shuttle, but I can't seem to get them in the shuttle 'cause they're impossible, impossible, impossible!
Okay, forget it! Kup, Hot Rod - you guys get the Dinobots aboard and get out of here!
Hot Rod [lassoing Grimlock's neck]
Come on, you big bozo, get in the shuttle.
[Kup and Hot Rod meet the Sharkticons for the first time]
Don't act hostile, I'll use the universal greeting.
Hot Rod "Universal greeting"?
Watch, I'll have them eating out of my hands. Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong.
Hot Rod "Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong"?
Sharkticons
Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong.
See, the universal greeting works every time.
Quintesson
Before His Imperial Magistrate delivers a verdict, would you like to beg for your lives? It sometimes helps, but not often.
I can't transform.
Hot Rod Keep trying.
Quintesson
Silence, or you'll be held in contempt of this court!
Hot Rod I have nothing but contempt for this court!
Have a nice day! We've forsaking friends! Say the Junkions!
Hot Rod Where'd you learn to talk like that?
TV! We talk TV! You talk some TV?
Yeah, I talk some TV: "And now the news, don't touch that dial!"
By George, kimosabes, your smashed up friend soon like brand new with ninety day warenty.
[The Junkions put Ultra Magnus back together again and wax him]
Happy motoring, cocka-doodledooooo!
Hot Rod Doesn't this remind you of anything, Kup?
Nope, never seen anything like this before.
What happened to Moonbase 2? Where's my dad?
Hot Rod That's what we're gonna find out.
Come out, Autobot! We all must die sometime.
Hot Rod Not today, Galvatron!
[Hot Rod tackles Galvatron. Galvatron then puts his hands around Hot Rod's throat and begins to strangle him]
I will crush you with my bare hands! Die, Autobot! First Prime, then Ultra Magnus, and now you. It's a pity you Autobots die so easily, or I might have a sense a satisfaction now!
[Hot Rod grabs the Matrix from Galvatron and stands up] [offscreen]
Arise, Rodimus Prime.
Rodimus Prime
[Hot Rod turns into Rodimus Prime] [quietly]
Optimus...!
NO!! [tries to shoot Rodimus, but to no avail]
Rodimus Prime
THIS IS THE END OF THE ROAD, GALVATRON!!
Spike
Springer, what's going on?
No time for that now! Let's get out of here.
Look!
Rodimus Prime
[Daniel sees Hot Rod, now Rodimus Prime, running from the depths of Unicron]
Autobots, transform and roll out!
[The Autobots escape out of Unicron's eye as he self destructs]
Destiny... you cannot destroy my... DESTINY!!!!! [his head falls off while the rest of his body is blown to bits]
Slag
[The Dinobots knock on a door that falls on a Quintesson]
Excuse me!
Me, Grimlock, want to munch metal!
Hot Rod I never thought I'd be so happy to see those big bozos.
Me, Grimlock, no bozo. Me king!
Quintesson
Sharkticons, execute them!
[The Sharkticons think about it for a second and then attack the Quintessons]
I think the problems on this planet will be solved very shortly.
