Garry Chalk: Optimus Primal

Quotes 

• Dinobot : And what does it matter if we blow some Energon? Maybe it will take a few Predacons with it. That is what we want, is it not?

  Optimus Primal : This mission, Dinobot, is to gain tactical advantage by taking out their base. Defeating them does not mean we have to annihilate them. You seem to have trouble understanding that.

  Dinobot : What I understand is this: if situations were reversed, Megatron would spare the base and annihilate us!

  Optimus Primal : [sighs]  This eagerness of yours to scrap Megatron is clouding your judgment.

  Dinobot : We are at war, Optimus! War! I think it is your judgment that is clouded!

• Cheetor : Sorry for disobeying your order, big-bot.

  Optimus Primal : You don't need to earn my respect, Cheetor. You've always had it. And you did end up saving the day. But be warned, if you *ever* pull a stunt like that again, I'll have your tail in a sling!

  Cheetor : Okay, okay, I-I'll never do that again... until the next time.
