• Brawn : [to Perceptor while he is fixing Ironhide]  Real work is crushing Decepticons, not fussing with chips!

  Perceptor : If I didn't "fuss with chips," you couldn't crush Decepticons.

  [Perceptor fixes Ironhide's memory microchip] 

  Brawn : Oh, bah!

  Bumblebee : Hey, lay off, Brawn! Perceptor's as important as any of us!

  Brawn : So where is he when we're fighting?

  Perceptor : It takes more than muscle to fight.

  Brawn : Yeah, it takes courage! Or maybe that word is not in your fancy vocabulary!

  Bumblebee : [clutches his fists]  Leave him alone, Brawn, or you're gonna tangle with me!

  Brawn : [sneers]  Oh, I'm shakin' in my proton boots...

• [Perceptor, Brawn and Bumblebee, after being reduced to microscopic size, managed to get into Megatron's body, in search for the Heart of Cybertron] 

  Perceptor : The Heart of Cybertron must be in Megatron's chest, and we've got less than two hours to get to it.

  Bumblebee : Why is that?

  Perceptor : Because the reductor beam will wear off, and we'll return to normal size.

  Brawn : [sarcastically]  Now you tell us!

  Bumblebee : Yeah, and Megatron ain't big enough for the three of us.

• [Perceptor, Brawn and Bumblebee approach Megatron's brain] 

  Brawn : Then I got a honey of an idea. Let's bash brain!

  Perceptor : No, Brawn! It's too dangerous!

  [Brawn ignores Perceptor and walks toward Megatron's brain. Perceptor and Bumblebee grab Brawn and try to pull him away] 

  Bumblebee : Listen to Perceptor! He's right!

  [Brawn, being stronger than the other Autobots, gets free easily] 

• [Megatron approaches the Autobots' headquarters. Unknown to him, Brawn is about to destroy his brain, ignoring Perceptor's warning] 

  Perceptor : [to Brawn]  If you destroy his brain, he'll fall. The impact could detonate the Heart of Cybertron!

  Brawn : It's our only chance.

  [Megatron raises his hands, ready to fire at the Autobots, using the power of the Heart of Cybertron. Inside him, as Brawn approaches Megatron's brain, strange things - resembling metallic serpents with sinister expression - coming out of the brain] 

  Brawn : What are they?

  Perceptor : Brain impulses. Evil brain impulses!

  [Megatron opens fire, striking the Autobots. Inside him, one of the brain impulses chases Bumblebee] 

  Bumblebee : Heeelp!

  [the brain impulse wraps itself around Bumblebee's neck, makes him fall down] 

• [after Perceptor watches intently the brain impulses, he snaps his fingers, as he realizes that they are heading for specific location] 

  Perceptor : Got it!

  [Warpath charges at Megatron, but his shots do not harm Megatron. Megatron shoots and strikes him. Meanwhile, Brawn frees Bumblebee from the impulse. Grabbing it by its "tail" and swinging it, Brawn smashes the impulse] 

  Perceptor : That's Megatron's database conveying orders to the Heart of Cybertron. If we can hitch a ride, it'll lead us straight to it!

  [Bumblebee notices that one more brain impulse coming out of Megatron's brain] 

  Bumblebee : Here comes one!

  Perceptor : Grab it!

  [the three Autobots jump astride on the brain impulse. It carries them to the Heart] 

  Perceptor : [as they get closer to the Heart]  There it is! Jump!

  [the Autobots jump off the impulse, as it absorbs into the Heart. Meanwhile, Megatron continue shooting at Warpath. The impact causes Warpath to turn on his side and fall upside down] 

  Brawn : Let's rip the wires and get out of here!

  [Brawn bends down to rip the wires which connect the Heart to Megatron] 

  Perceptor : [stops Brawn]  No! This thing's like a hyper bomb. One wrong move and the whole planet is rubble!

• [the microbots are running back to the gap at Megatron's shoulder, Brawn carries the Heart of Cybertron. They grow bigger in size with each step] 

  Bumblebee : [pants]  Is it my imagination, or is this tunnel getting tighter?

  Perceptor : It's us! We're returning to our normal size. We've got to get out of here!

  Optimus Prime : Now we'll see who's finished!

  [Optimus Prime opens fire at Megatron, hits him severely, striking him down. As Megatron lies down, the three Autobots coming out of his body, returning to their normal size while stepping on Megatron's body. Megatron recovers in time to see Bumblebee stepping on him] 

  Bumblebee : Uh... excuse us!

  Megatron : [standing on his feet, furious at his failure]  You... filthy retro-rats! Uhhh!

  [Megatron flies away] 

  Wheeljack : He's getting away! Stop him!

  Perceptor : No! Wait! We've got the Heart of Cybertron!

  Brawn : But it's destabilizing! It could explode at any second!
