- Dinobot: [awakening] Maximal torture chamber!
- [breaks out of his ligatures and and runs then faces the others bracing himself to attack]
- Cheetor: Hey! Whoa! Hey, power down; you're on our side now, remember?
- Dinobot: [gets his breath back] Affirmative.
- Rattrap: And Maximals don't have torture chambers. Although, ya know, heh-heh, I could get behind that idea.
- [last lines]
- Dinobot: And more importantly, who are they? Friends, enemies... or something more?
- Optimus Primal: Hm. Good question. I wonder when we'll find out the answer.
- Optimus Primal: [taking cover from a Predacon attack] Keep them away from the crystal!
- Rattrap: Oh, yeah, sure, give us the dirty work.
- Rhinox: This isn't a natural stone formation. Somebody, somehow, built this thing.
- Rattrap: Yeah, well, uh, excuse my error message, but, uh, I thought this planet was uninhabited.
- Optimus Primal: Something else is odd. I'm getting an Energon reading. It's under this pile of rocks.
- Dinobot: I've heard enough from this scrawny thief! I will break the tie and be your leader, by force if necessary!
- [prepares to duel with Rattrap]
- Rhinox: Make a device to extract physical molecular structure from an alien probe? Man, I've gotta be a miracle-worker!
- Megatron: I know just how the weakling Maximals will response to Optimus's death: Confusion. Bickering. Recriminations! The perfect opportunity for a surprise attack.
- Megatron: The day, and the probe, is yours, Optimus. Yeesss. Just beware - not all aliens are beneficent, after all...
- Optimus Primal: Just beware of a Predacon attack. They'll be after you now that you're outnumbered. Ratttrap - you're in charge. I'm sure you worked out the chain of command peacefully.
- [a heavy impact jolts the chamber and sets off the alarm system]
- Cheetor: You're right about one thing, anyway.
