Garry Chalk: Optimus Primal

Quotes 

• Depthcharge : I knew saving your hide was a mistake.

  Optimus Primal : Rattrap?

  Rattrap : Oh, well, yeah, technically, he did KINDA do that. Um... eh... thanks.

  Optimus Primal : Looks like you did give us some help after all.

  Depthcharge : Don't go gettin' all gushy on me.

  Optimus Primal : I'm not. You also cost us a major strategic advantage. That's why you can't continue to act as an independent. We need you, Maximal.

  Depthcharge : [Optimus offers a handshake]  I'll think about it. This crew sure needs something.

• Rhinox : Autobot tech is different from ours. Mixing the two is... tricky.

  Optimus Primal : Well, so much for plan A.

  Rattrap : Does that mean that there's a, uh, plan B?

  Optimus Primal : We have to salvage Sentinel.

  Rattrap : Are you loopy? The Axalon's in itty, bitty pieces. And, uh... underwater.

  Optimus Primal : Which is why we'll need special help.

• Rattrap : Man, if it wasn't for this fish-faced crabcook, we'd have Sentinel right now.

  Depthcharge : It was an accident.

  Rattrap : Oh, yeah? When Bolt asked you for help, you turned him down. Was that an "accident", too?

  Optimus Primal : Is that true?

  Depthcharge : I was kind of busy with Rampage.

  Optimus Primal : If you weren't damaged, I'd scramble your circuits!

  Depthcharge : Don't let that stop you, Primal.

• Rattrap : What the heck is it? Besides ugly.

  Blackarachnia : It's a sub-aquatic stealth vessel, garbage breath. It's powered completely by hand. No noise, no energy signature.

  Rhinox : Clever.

  Optimus Primal : It should do the job.

  Blackarachnia : Naturally. So, when do I leave?

  Optimus Primal : *You* don't.

  Rattrap : [Optimus look at him]  Oh, no. If you think that I am gettin' inside that Predacon beach ball, hoo, you got your wires crossed, fearless leader.

  Optimus Primal : Blackarachnia would know what to look for. And you're the only one small enough to fit in it.

  Rattrap : No way. I ain't no water rat.

  Optimus Primal : Without a shield program to guard the base, we're trapped in a defensive position. This war could go on forever. We'll never get back to Cybertron.

  Rattrap : [reluctantly giving in]  Ooh, you just had to say the "C" word, didn't you?
