Quotes 

• Blackarachnia : [after pushing some buttons]  Auxiliary life-support on.

  Silverbolt : [continues to plug the life-support machine into Optimus Prime's arm which slows down the time storm]  It's done! The time storm... It appears to have stabilized somewhat.

  Blackarachnia : But Big Mac here is still fading.

  [Blackarachnia and Silverblot begin fading in and out] 

  Blackarachnia : Reality is still in flux.

  Optimus Primal : [flying into the Ark]  Sliverbolt. What? Huh? Well, that's just prime.

  Rattrap : Well, what's left of him anyways.

  [Rhinox slugs Rattrap] 

• Silverbolt : Blackarachnia, O dark poison of my heart, abide with me yet a while.

  Blackarachnia : You got a way with words, Rover. You almost make me wish I was a better girl.

  Silverbolt : But you are. For at the last moment you made a stand against evil.

  Blackarachnia : Oh, I was saving my own shell.

  Silverbolt : And with it the UNIVERSE, and me.

• Cheetor : Jumpin' gyros, Optimus sure learns a new body fast.

  Rattrap : Yeah, well, whaddaya expect? He changes 'em often enough.

• Megatron : *You*?

  Blackarachnia : Well, what did you expect, you metal megalomaniac? That I would die for your insane ambition?

  Megatron : Then or now, Blackarachnia, there will be no more betrayals.

  [Megatron charges his weapon and fires. Blackarachnia screams] 

  Silverbolt : Blackarachnia?

• Rattrap : Sheesh. Where's my cyberviolin?

  Rhinox : Very touching, Silverbolt. But she's just in stasis lock.

  Rattrap : Yeah, so if you could stop crushing her to your manly torso plate for a while, what say we start the repairs?

  Silverbolt : [clearing his throat]  Yes, um, very well.

  Rhinox : Hurry back with that spark, Optimus, or none of this will have mattered at all.

• Rhinox : His spark can't exist outside of a living body.

  Optimus Primal : I know.

  Rattrap : What? Are you NUTS? You can't hold two sparks in your body.

• Optimus Primal : Freedom is the right of ALL sentient beings, Megatron.

  Megatron : Then they'd better stay out of my way.

  Rattrap : Oh, for bootin' up cold, will you just shoot him already?

  Optimus Primal : I'm trying not to resort to that.

  Rattrap : Then I will.

  Optimus Primal : NO!

• [Optimus Primal groans in the corner of the Ark] 

  Rhinox : Hurry.

  Blackarachnia : This technology is over four-billion years old. It takes time.

  Rattrap : Time you don't have She-Spider.

  Silverbolt : You'll have to shoot through me, rodent.

  Rattrap : Don't tempt me.

  Rhinox : Knock it off. We have bigger problems.

• Rhinox : Whew! He's back in normal stasis and reality has been restored.

  Rattrap : Yeah. Now all we've gotta do is keep it that way for the next couple of million years. Sheesh, no problem.

  Optimus Primal : Rattrap is correct. The first thing we have to do, Maximals...

  Blackarachnia : Ahem!

  Optimus Primal : And Predacon, is fortify this place so gather up all of the salvage you can find... We're moving in.

• Blackarachnia : Arrgh!

  Silverbolt : Blackarachnia!

  [Blackarachnia groans] 

  Silverbolt : Stay by me. Whatever this storm is, I will protect you.

  Blackarachnia : No, Bowser Boy. You have no idea what you're dealing with. Just shut up and follow me.

  Silverbolt : What are you doing?

  Blackarachnia : It's not what I'm doing! It's what I'm *undoing*!
