- Ravage: Megatron, in the name of the pact Cybertronia and the Predacon Alliance, you are under arrest.
- Rattrap: Oh, for bootin' up cold, the only thing worse than a stinkin' Pred, is a stinkin' DECEPTICON!
- [a ship from Cybertron arrives]
- Cheetor: What do you think it is, Bigbot?
- Optimus Primal: Not what... who. After the Great War, a few Decepticons were granted amnesty. Most have retired. But rumor has it that one was reprogrammed and rebuilt... as a Predacon!
- Rattrap: I know this little place where ya can get dirty mech-fluid mixed with just a touch o' radium. Take yer head right off. Not only THAT - but the servin' bots are walkin' around minus their torso plates, y'know what I mean? Eh? Eh?
- Ram Horn: Tripredacus Council now in session.
- Cicadacon: The transwarp wavefront that disrupted this station has been identified. Signature matches that of the ship stolen by Megatron.
- Ram Horn: Megatron? I thought we'd heard the last of that renegade.
- Sea Clamp: His ship and the Axalon both vanished last megacycle. The Maximal probes never found them.
- Cicadacon: Yes, but remember, we paid the price in diplomatic repercussions.
- Ram Horn: Generals, ever since the Autobots defeated our Decepticon ancestors, we Predacons have worked secretly towards the day when we might rise up and take what is rightfully ours.
- Sea Clamp: Megatron is brilliant, but a rogue. He causes too much trouble.
- Cicadacon: And apparently, he may be up to his old tricks again.
- Ram Horn: If he is, we have to handle the situation first, before the Maximals find out.
- Cicadacon: I have already sent a signal to one of our Cybertron satellites. It will "accidentally" explode, blocking the Maximals' sensors from detecting the transwarp wave.
- Sea Clamp: And I have arranged for a covert operative; you know the one. He's been given our secretly-developed transwarp cruiser. He will trace the transwarp wave back to its source.
- Ram Horn: If Megatron is discovered still operating his own agenda, what are the agent's instructions?
- Cicadacon: Terminate with extreme prejudice.
- Rattrap: [Silverbolt returns to base after his secret meeting with Blackarachnia] So... Where you been, birddog?
- Silverbolt: S-scout patrol...
- Rattrap: Oh, yeah, yeah... he-he... Scouting the enemy, yeah... Find any new positions?
