Optimus Primal : That pod's Maximal property!
Terrorsaur : [blasting him out of the air] Which the Predacons will gladly steal!
-
Optimus Primal : This makes three straight operations ambushed.
Rhinox : Hmm. Sounds mighty suspicious.
Cheetor : Like some rat's slipping info.
Rattrap : Hey!
Cheetor : I'm speaking metaphorically, that is.
Dinobot : It was Rattrap who led us into the box canyon and nearly to termination.
Rattrap : What are you tryin' to say, you big lizard-head?
Rhinox : That's ridiculous.
Cheetor : Yeah, Rattrap wouldn't do that.
Optimus Primal : Well, I'm not so sure.
Rhinox : [surprised] What?
Optimus Primal : Rattrap, I wanna have a word with you. In private.
-
Dinobot : Now I will terminate the traitor myself!
Optimus Primal : No! Allow me... to congratulate him.
[shaking hands]
Optimus Primal : Well done, Rattrap. You have the chip?
Rattrap : [holding it up] It's a Maximal decoder. They must have recovered it from our wreckage crash.
Cheetor : No wonder they hacked our communications. They were using our decoder.
Dinobot : You mean his capture, his betrayal, were all a set-up?
Rattrap : Yeah.
Rhinox : Why didn't you tell us?
Optimus Primal : We had to keep it a secret to keep his cover safe. Especially during the battle...
[rubbing his shoulder where Rattrap shot him]
Optimus Primal : ...although you didn't need to make it that believable.
Rattrap : Hey, uh, what can I say? I was trying to miss.
-
Rattrap : Maximal command, this is Rattrap. My "recon mission" indicates nothing here but melting rock. You happy?
Optimus Primal : One more sweep, Rattrap, then bring it in.
[at their base, the Predacons eavesdrop on them]
Optimus Primal : Check sector 12.8 by 1-22-9.
Megatron : Ah, the simple pleasures of code-breaking, yes. Terrorsaur, would you pay our Maximal friend a visit?
-
Cheetor : You don't really think Rattrap's hacking with the Predacons, do you?
Rhinox : Not a chance.
Rattrap : [nearby] Oh, get scrapped, Optimus! You think I was working for the Preds? Ooh, you got a whole 'nother program to run, you oversized buffoon!
Optimus Primal : Maxmials, Rattrap's loyalty to us has been brought into serious question.
Rhinox : Oh, come on, Optimus. He's no spy.
Optimus Primal : The repeated ambush of Maximal operations suggests otherwise. We'll see. Rattrap, I'm ordering you on a solo mission. You're to search for Energon. In sector 12.
Cheetor : The lava pits? That's a death sentence, Optimus. 12's one big Energon storm.
Rhinox : And within weapons range of the Predacon ship.
Optimus Primal : Think of it as a test of loyalty.
Rattrap : Ah, thanks for nothing, comrades. I'm blowing this taco stand. Beast mode!
[he transforms and leaves]
Rhinox : I know you're hot about losing the pod, but you don't really think...
Optimus Primal : This mission should answer that question... once and for all.
-
Optimus Primal : Base camp, confirm our position. Are we near the stasis pod?
Rattrap : Well, if it was a snake, it'd bite ya. You should be within a few feet of it.
Optimus Primal : [spotting the pod above him] We're within a few feet of it horizontally. Vertically is another story.
-
Cheetor : What do you mean go after Rattrap? You mean rescue him?
Rhinox : Why? Let him go.
Optimus Primal : He's too dangerous a weapon to fall into Predacon hands.
Dinobot : Agreed. He should be neutralized and returned here to answer for his treachery, and to be brought to justice.
