Don Messick: Ratchet, Scavenger

Quotes 

• Scrapper , Scavenger : [the Constructicons, while digging a tunnel to the Autobots' headquarters, come upon underground volcanic lake] 

  Scrapper : Careful, Scrounge - this volcano isn't inactive!

  Scavenger : [lifts his shovel, his sensors detecting the location of Teletraan 1]  Scrapper, I-I'm picking up computer signals from above - oh, we're directly under Teletraan 1!

  Scavenger : [Teletraan 1's sensors detect the presence of the Constructicons - its security alarm is activated, and images of the Constructicons appear on its main screen, rapidly alternating] 

• [the Constructicons find the location of Teletraan 1, above the tunnel they dug] 

  Scavenger : [activating his shovel sensors]  Now, the Autobot computer, Teletraan 1, is just beyond this cavern ceiling.

  Scrapper : We'll have to blast through. Mixmaster, we need acid!

  Mixmaster : Okay. Er, let's mix up some, uh, H2SO4 with, er... with, er, HCl, with, er... I know! I'll combine some of each of the stronger acids!

  [Mixmaster sprays the cave ceiling with acid stream, creating hole large enough for the Constructicons, near Teletraan 1. The security alarm is activated. The Dinobots, who stayed at the Autobots' headquarters, detect the alarm, their eyes blinking] 

  Grimlock : Uhh... Teletraan 1 calls. Dinobots respond.

  [the Constructicons transform into robots and invade the Autobots' headquarters via the hole Mixmaster made] 

  Scrapper : [points at Teletraan 1]  There's Teletraan 1. For Megatron, destroy it!

  [as the Constructicons point their weapons at Teletraan 1, the Dinobots surprise them] 

  Grimlock : No destroy Teletraan 1! Dinobots destroy you!

  [the Dinobots open fire, hitting the Constructicons. One of Grimlock's shots hit the cave wall, creating a tunnel into which the Constructicons retreat. The Dinobots chase the Constructicons, ignoring their shots] 

  Sludge : Sludge not see these Decepticons before.

  Snarl : Not see again, either, because we dynamite them to pieces!

• [Ratchet and Wheeljack fix Optimus Prime] 

  Ironhide : Uhh... sorry about that.

  Ratchet : [smiles, closing Optimus Prime's chest-lid]  There! Optimus is as good as the day he rolled off the mechanical line. Better, even.

  Wheeljack : But I still don't understand where Megatron got enough strength to whip him.

  Chip Chase : I do: I just had Teletraan 1 do an energy scan on Optimus' damaged parts, and... see for yourselves!

  [Teletraan 1 shows a compilation of rapidly altering Decepticon body data specs on its main screen] 

  Wheeljack : Of course - somehow Megatron used the powers of all the other Decepticons!

  Ironhide : Then... then Megatron cheated and we can ignore the agreement with him - right, Optimus?

  Optimus Prime : That is affirmative. Autobots, the time has come to fight back!

  [the Autobots cheer, eager to pay their enemies back] 

• Megatron : It is over! Optimus Prime has been defeated! All Autobots must exile themselves to deeper space!

  [the Autobots rush to help Optimus Prime] 

  Spike Witwicky : Oh... I can't believe it.

  Chip Chase : Optimus Prime... beaten by Megatron?

  [Optimus Prime groans in pain] 

  Spike Witwicky : He's functional... but barely.

  Optimus Prime : Uhhh... my fault. Underestimated Megatron. Never suspected he had so many powers. I was not prepared...

  Ironhide : [furiously]  Well, I'm prepared - to knock those Decepti-bums all the way back to Cybertron!

  [the other Autobots exclaim in approval] 

  Optimus Prime : [getting on his feet]  No! Megatron has beaten me according to Cybertron law. To violate that law would destroy our honour. We will comply and leave this Earth forever.

  Optimus Prime : As you command, Optimus.

  Ratchet : [to Wheeljack]  We'll need Teletraan 1 to diagnose all this damage.

  Wheeljack : Optimus, can you transform?

  Optimus Prime : I-I'll try.

  [straining in pain, Optimus Prime transforms into truck. The other Autobots transform into vehicles] 

  Huffer : Maybe I can help Optimus save some of his strength on the way back...

  [Huffer tranforms into vehicle mode] 

  Huffer : Let me take that load, Optimus.

  Optimus Prime : You're a true friend, Huffer.

  [Optimus Prime disengages from his trailer, and Huffer takes it] 

  Optimus Prime : Autobots, roll out! Perhaps for the last time...

  Megatron : We will accompany them back to their headquarters to make certain "noble" Optimus Prime keeps his word.

  [the Decepticons fly above the Autobots' line]
