Garry Chalk: Optimus Primal

Quotes 

• Blackarachnia : I can't explain it. One minute I saw this light, then I saw Silverbolt in danger...

  Optimus Primal : And you rushed off on your own as usual. NOT a very Maximal approach.

  Blackarachnia : Even when I'm good I'm still bad.

• Blackarachnia : Transmetals have more power. I WANTED IT.

  Silverbolt : Then you should have asked us. We could have helped you.

  Blackarachnia : Yeah, right. Like you're going to help the Pred get more power?

  Optimus Primal : Maximal or Predacon, you're one of us. You should know that by now.

• Silverbolt : What is it, Rhinox?

  Rhinox : The Pred shell program they implanted is deteriorating. If it continues it will infect her Maximal core conscience.

  Blackarachnia : It sounds serious. Oh. I guess using the transmetal driver on myself wasn't such a great idea.

  Optimus Primal : I thought you were smarter than that and how did YOU get the driver?

  Blackarachnia : I borrowed it.

  Rhinox : Why?

• Silverbolt : Enough! Our only concern now should be Blackarachnia's well-being.

  Optimus Primal : You're right. Rhinox?

  Rhinox : I can't stop the spark's deterioration but I can try severing the shell program from her core consience. The only problem is it's never been done before.

  [Blackarachnia looks worried] 

  Optimus Primal : And if we don't try?

• Optimus Primal : Thanks for all of your help...

  Blackarachnia : Spare me the Maximal mush and let's get this over with.

• Rhinox : How are you feeling?

  Blackarachnia : Like someone is playing squash-the-spider with an energon ball.

  Optimus Primal : Are you ready?

  Blackarachnia : All except for one thing. Decrypt datatrax Widow's Edge. Prepare for direct download. The Ark's access codes. I figure you have the best chance of keeping them away from Mega-Ego.

• Ratrap : I never thought I'd say this, but I'm gonna miss her.

  Cheetor : I know I will. She was something special.

  Optimus Primal : We should have trusted her more, if only because Silverbolt loved her.

  Ratrap : Yeah. Where is the bird-dog anyways?

  Optimus Primal : He couldn't have... Oh, no!

  Ratrap : Ohh!
