Galvatron: You mean what, old friend?
Starscream: [in his own voice] Well now, who do you think I mean?
Galvatron: Starscream!
[Starscream laughs while Octane runs off]
Galvatron: [smiling] I shall enjoy destroying you even more this time than the last.
Starscream: Destroying me was a great disservice to all Decepticons!
