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]

Wait...! I still function!

Wanna bet? [releases Megatron into deep space and closes the door.]

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!

Rumble

Hey! Nobody calls Soundwave un-cruzimatic!

Frenzy

Yeah, lets kick tailgate!
[The Decepticons begin fighting one another for leadership]

It is the year 2005. The treacherous Decepticons have conquered the Autobots' home planet of Cybertron. But from secret staging grounds on two of Cybertron's moons, the valiant Autobots strive to retake their homeland.

Ironhide, report to me at once.

Every time I look into a monitor, Prime, my circuits sizzle. When are we gonna start busting Decepti-chops?

I want you to make a special run to Autobot City on Earth.

But, Prime—

Listen Ironhide, we don't have enough energon cubes to power a full-scale assault. Ready the shuttle for launch!

Your days are numbered now, Decepti-creeps! [exits, transforming as he makes his way towards the shuttle]

Jazz, report security status.

Jazz

No sign of the Decepticons here, Prime.

What about Moonbase 2?

Jazz

Jazz to Moonbase 2, Jazz to Moonbase 2!

Bumblebee

Bumblebee and Spike here.

Jazz

We're about to send out the shuttle. Any Decepticon shenanigans in your area?

Bumblebee

All clear, Jazz.

Spike

Hey Ironhide, tell my son Daniel I miss him. And tell him not to worry; I'll be coming home as soon as we kick Megatron's tail across the Galaxy!

Will do, Spike.

Cliffjumper, commence countdown.

Cliffjumper

Five... four... three...two... one! Blast off!!

Now, all we need is a little energon... and a lot of luck.

Megatron... Megatron... Welcome, Megatron.

Who... Who said that?

I am Unicron.

Show yourself.

I have summoned you here for a purpose.

Nobody summons Megatron!

Then it pleases me to be the first.

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.

You have nothing to fear. I have already crushed Optimus Prime with my bare hands.

You exaggerate.

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.

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.

And?

And nothing! You belong to me now.

I BELONG TO NOBODY!

Perhaps I've misjudged you. Proceed... on your way to oblivion.

I fear the wounds are... fatal.

Daniel

Prime, you can't die!

Do not grieve. Soon... I will be one with the Matrix.

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]

Kup
[Optimus Prime has thrown Megatron into the ground]

Finish him off, Prime! Do it now!

[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!

Come out, Autobot! We all must die sometime.

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!!

[Rodimus grabs Galvatron and throws him away from Unicron]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Have a nice day! We've forsaking friends! Say the Junkions!

Where'd you learn to talk like that?

TV! We talk TV! You talk some TV?

Kup

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!

[It is Starscream's coronation. Astrotrain tries to put the crown on Starscream, only to be distracted by the trumpet-blowing Constructicons.] [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]

My fellow Decepticons! As your new leader, I—

[Starscream gasps as Cyclonus appears, causing the Decepticons to scatter]

WHO DISRUPTS MY CORONATION!!??

[Galvatron hops out of Cyclonus's cockpit and approaches the steps]

Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy!

Megatron? IS THAT YOU!!??

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]

Will anyone else attempt to fill his shoes?

Rumble

Eh, what'd he say his name was?

Galvatron.

Decepticons

Long live Galvatron! Galvatron!

Swoop

Me, Swoop, no see nothing.

Me, Grimlock, positive Hot Rod and Kup close.

Slag

Me, Slag, say you full of beryllium baloney.

Me, Grimlock, say you full of cesium salami.

Slag

Beryllium boloney.

Wheelie

Friends find, look behind.

Who say that!?!

Wheelie
[comes out and crawls atop Slide]

Friends find, look behind. You go wrong way, you fool I say.

Me, Grimlock, fool?!

Wheelie

Picture you got, now fool you not! [laughs]

Me, Grimlock, no like you!

[Grimlock attacks Wheelie who fires a shot at his nose]

OW! Why boy hit my nose?

Wheelie

Wheelie say, find friends today!

Me Grimlock say, we on our way!

Don't look behind door number 2, Monty! It's time to play "End of the line, my valentine!" Ger-roni-do-ron-ron-roni-mo!!!

Stop, thief! No welcome-wagon "Hello Stranger" with that new coffee flavor for YOU! Offer expires while you wait. Operators are standing by.

Kup

This reminds me of the battle on Alpha 9, the petro-rabbits were—Grimlock, get your noodle outta my face!

Me, Grimlock, love Kup's war stories.

Kup

You're living one, now. [to Hot Rod] Engage the boosters for Cybertron's sake!

Tell Grimlock about petro-rabbits again.

Kup

I'll give you petro-rabbits! Contact!

Kup
[Kup and Hot Rod meet the Sharkticons for the first time]

Don't act hostile, I'll use the universal greeting.

"Universal greeting"?

Kup

Watch, I'll have them eating out of my hands. Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong.

"Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong"?

Sharkticons

Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong.

Kup

See, the universal greeting works every time.

Breach their defenses!

Kickback

Delicious, eh, Shrapnel?

Shrapnel

A little heavy on the electrons, electrons.

Kup
[Kup and Hot Rod race to Autobot City]

The Insecticons are in our way!

Wrong, they're our way in! Yahh!! [rams into Kickback]

Blaster

Look out shout, owww! Hey, Perceptor, what's shakin'? other than this fortress.

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!
