Quotes 

• Waspinator : What is this? "Program does not respond!" Waspinator does not understand!

  Starscream : [taking over Waspinator's body]  I'll bet Waspinator seldom does! But try not to let it depress you, bug-face...

• Megatron : Quickly, damage report!

  Waspinator : Damage moderate... Waspinator in pain... but still functional!

  Megatron : Not you, imbecile! THE COMPUTER!

• Optimus Primal : [the Maximal base is under attack]  We've got to get out of here! Regroup and recover!

  Rattrap : What, and leave the place to the Preds?

  Optimus Primal : There's no choice, Rattrap! On my signal!

  Rattrap : [to Rhinox]  Yeah, right. Like this rat needs instructions on leaving a sinking ship.

• Rattrap : Would you lie down? And groan, for cryin' out loud. You're supposed to be half-dead.

  Dinobot : [snarling and snapping his teeth]  If you don't shut up, rodent, you shall be my role model.

• Optimus Primal : You'll make a full recovery. That's one less concern, at any rate.

  Dinobot : You should have stayed, fought to the bitter end.

  Optimus Primal : And it would have been bitter, Dinobot. But there's no time for this. Apparently, Waspinator is Starscream, or he thinks he is. Either way, it's become a major problem, especially since the files on him were classified by the Maximal elders.

  Dinobot : Fools! Fortunately, I have long studied military history.

  Optimus Primal : Go on.

  Dinobot : Starscream was deceitful and scheming, the most notorious traitor of all.

  Optimus Primal : And now he's back and pledging his loyalty to Megatron.

  [thoughtfully] 

  Optimus Primal : Hmm...

• Rattrap : [giving a "bad news, worse news" report]  The last hit breached the outer wall in vector 7.

  Rhinox : And this was only the bad news?

  Rattrap : Eh, the worse news is it knocked out all the surveillance sensors along the southwest perimeter. Man, we might as well put up a sign saying "Welcome, Predacons, enter here."

  Optimus Primal : Hmm. With any luck, they're having problems of their own.

• Waspinator : Ohhh... Waspinator has a headache in his whole body... Ohh!

  Blackarachnia : It was the only way. I had to play along with Starscream to find out his "true" intentions.

  Megatron : You are smooth, Blackarachnia. Very smooth. But it does not inspire confidence, though. NO!

• Dinobot : I do not think we have much to worry about...

  Rhinox : What?

  Dinobot : Remember the Cybertronix Dictionary? All records replaced "traitor" with the name "Starscream" and stuck in an image for good measure. Soon, hopefully very soon, Megatron will have other concerns besides Maximals to deal with...

  Optimus Primal : True. But in the meantime...

• Rattrap : You're nothin' but a schemin' snake in the grass!

  Starscream : Ah, flattery will get you flattened, vermin...

• Rattrap : Would you lie down, and groan, for crying' out loud? You're supposed to be half-dead.

  Dinobot : If you do not shut up, vermin, you shall be my role model!

  Rattrap : Oh, yeah, and who's gonna...

  [Tigatron growls] 

  Rattrap : All right. All right. I'm shutting' up. If it ain't the dinosaurs up your nose it's the felines!

• Cheetor : I bet one of them's in my room right now, goin' through my stuff!

  Rattrap : Don't take this the wrong way, kitty-cat, but under the circumstances... GO TELL SOMEONE WHO CARES!
