Megatron's Master Plan: Part 2 (1985)

Alan Oppenheimer: Mayor

Quotes 

• [At the mayor's office, Spike shows the mayor the incriminating tape which proves that the Autobots are innocent, and that the transformers in the film were in fact the Decepticons in disguise] 

  Spike Witwickey : Well, Mr. mayor?

  [the mayor stops the film and ejects the tape] 

  Mayor : This evidence is conclusive, Spike. How could we have been so stupid?

  Spike Witwickey : We've got to bring the Autobots back!

  Mayor : I'm afraid that's impossible...

  [the mayor gives the tape back to Spike] 

  Mayor : ...but there may be something we can do.

• [after hearing that the Autobots' ship was destroyed] 

  Spike Witwickey : The Autobots may be gone, but I still have to clear their names!

  [Spike runs with the incriminating tape, intending to use it to reveal the Decepticons' trick. Sparkplug tries to stop his son, but it is too late] 

  Sparkplug Witwicky : Spike, Son! Don't! Spike, come back!

  [hearing the commotion, Soundwave turns and sees Spike running away with the tape] 

  Soundwave : Laserbeak, Ravage - get him!

  [Soundwave presses a switch on his left shoulder. His chest-lid opens, and Laserbeak and Ravage emerge, chasing Spike. While running, Spike's foot gets caught at projector base. He falls down and the tape drops from his hand] 

  Spike Witwickey : The tape!

  [Laserbeak shoots and destroys the tape, while Ravage charges at Spike. At the last moment, Spike stands on his feet and jumps aside. Ravage bumps against pile of filming equipment and gets caught in it] 

  Shawn Berger : It is the end! Hahah! The apocalypse!

  [to the astonishment of the others, Berger rushes to help Spike] 

  Mayor : Berger!

  [Laserbeak shoots at Spike, narrowly missing. Berger grabs microphone pole and hits Laserbeak with it. Laserbeak loses balance while flying and crashes down. Meanwhile, Ravage manages to get free and charges again at Spike. Spike turns on a projector directly at Ravage, blinding him temporarily, halting his charge. Berger approaches Spike] 

  Shawn Berger : Are you all right, kid?

  Megatron : [approaches them]  Compassion is for fools, Berger! You're going nowhere, boy!

  [Starscream and Soundwave pick Sparkplug and Chip] 

  Spike Witwickey : Megatron, please, don't hurt them...

  Megatron : [teasing]  And why should I want to hurt them? Healthy slaves can do much more work. And you, Berger, do you still want your reward?

  Shawn Berger : Yes!

  Megatron : Then you shall have it. Everything that you've earned...

  [Megatron laughs viciously] 

• [last lines] 

  Ironhide : [frees Chip of the electronic handcuffs]  Uhh, there you go, Chip. Free.

  Chip Chase : Huh, thanks, Ironhide! Is there anything you can't do?

  [the Autobots and the ex-prisoners are gathered outside the power plant] 

  Mayor : If you can ever forgive us, Optimus Prime, please stay here on Earth.

  Shawn Berger : [genuinely remorseful]  I doubt anyone will ever forgive me, but I'll... I'll make amends. I'll... I'll disband my private army.

  Sparkplug Witwicky : [sarcastically]  Oh, that's real *big* of you, Berger. They all quit when they found out what a dog lunch you are!

  [one of Berger's ex-guards nods in approval] 

  Shawn Berger : Well, um, I... I... I said I'm sorry.

  Optimus Prime : You are going to face justice, and may it be kinder to you than it was to us. Autobots, transform and roll for home!

  [the Autobots transform into vehicles and drive to base with their three loyal human friends] 

• [now that the Autobots are gone, the Decepticons seize control of the city, ruthlessly enslaving the residents. The people are forced into hard labor at refineries, power plants and mines, working to exhaustion in producing energon cubes, while the Decepticons oversee them. Spike, Sparkplug, Chip, the mayor and Berger are imprisoned in a power plant, watched by Soundwave, their hands are chained with electric handcuffs] 

  Soundwave : Increase efficiency or be terminated!

  [Soundwave shoots over the workers' heads] 

  Chip Chase : Those generators never worked so hard before.

  Spike Witwickey : Generators? What about us?

  Mayor : [pants heavily while working]  Megatron was true to his word. He rewarded Berger with everything... he deserved.

  [the mayor glances at Berger, who is forced to work like the other captives, clearly not used to hard labor. One of Berger's ex-gaurds passes by, carrying energon cube on his back, glaring at his former employer with hatred] 

  Berger's Guard : What's the matter, traitor? Real work's something new to you?

  Chip Chase : Berger sure doesn't have many friends in these ranks.

  Spike Witwickey : Still, I can't forget how he tried to help me...

  [a shot, fired by Soundwave, passes between Spike and Chip, narrowly misses them. They recoil in horror] 

  Soundwave : Less talk and more work.
