Quotes 

• Optimus Prime : [Opening lines]  And it was written in the Covenant of Primus, that when the 47 spheres align, a perpetual conflict with culminate upon a world forged by chaos. And the weak shall perish in the shadow of a rising darkness.

  Arcee : No sky is raining fire?

  Ratchet : Goes without saying, it is a doom prophesy after all.

  Bulkhead : I say it's a load of hooey.

  Ratchet : I always assumed the ancients were referring to our home planet. But being that Cybertron has been dark for eons...

  Optimus Prime : And considering what has befallen this planet since Megatron's arrival here...

  Bulkhead : Wow, wow, wow... we've known about these superstitions for ages and never gave them a second thought.

  Arcee : Why all the ominous rumbling now?

  Optimus Prime : Because the planetary alignment to which the prophesy refers is nearly upon us.

  Ratchet : And it would seem it's end point... is Earth.

  Bulkhead : Uhh... crazy coincidence! Heh... R-right?

  Arcee : How long are we talking?

  Ratchet : A few days, at most.

  Optimus Prime : However unsettling this revelation may be, I am more concerned about those who might believe that the prophesy speaks to them alone.

• Megatron : [arriving at the army base]  Optimus.

  Optimus Prime : Megatron, do you not see the folly in trying to force a prophecy to fruition?

  Megatron : Why leave matters to fate if one can forge one's own destiny? Ah, speaking of fate...

  [Optimus and the others turn around to see Bumblebee walking toward them, carrying a wounded Raf. Optimus's eyes widen with shock when he sees Raf] 

  Arcee : Raf!

  [she gently picks him up] 

  Arcee : He's breathing. Barely.

  Megatron : Ah, it would seem I've swatted a bee and squashed a bug.

  [Bumblebee shakes in anger and deploys his blasters] 

  Bulkhead : Bee, no!

  [restrains him. Optimus looks back at Megatron, who gives off a smirk] 

  Optimus Prime : Ratchet, bridge us back now!

  Ratchet : [at the base]  We must have an Autobot down.

• Arcee : Don't take it personally. Primes are built that way.

  Bulkhead : Never seen Optimus laugh, cry, or lose his cool.

  Ratchet : While Optimus certainly keeps his emotions in check, I've known him for far longer than any of you have. And he *was* different before he was made a Prime.

  Rafael 'Raf' Esquivel : Optimus wasn't always a Prime?

  Ratchet : On Cybertron, one isn't born into greatness, but rather one must earn it.

  Jack Darby : So, different how? We talking "party animal"?

  Ratchet : No, no. Optimus was more like... Jack.

  Jack Darby : What? I'm nothing like...

• [Bumblebee shakes in anger, striking a wall to the shock of the others. Arcee grabs Bumblebee and pins him against the wall] 

  Arcee : Bee, listen! You don't think I know how it feels to watch a partner... harmed. Revenge won't help Raf right now. You need to keep your emotions in check!

• Jack Darby : [seeing Arcee carrying Raf into the base]  Raf?

  Miko Nakadai : No!

  Ratchet : What happened?

  Arcee : Megatron.

  Ratchet : Quickly, into my laboratory!
