Quotes 

• [the Decepticons clear a path through the dense jungle on their way to their spaceship, carelessly destroying the vegetation] 

  Rumble : Nice scenery.

  Scavenger : Yeah! Let's waste it! I hate nice things.

  [Starscream shoots at trees, but misses to his disappointment] 

  Rumble : He-he-he, good shot, Starscream!

  Starscream : [angrily pointing his arm-cannon at Rumble]  Shut up or I'll blast you, punk!

  [Starscream does not notice that huge python is about to drop on top of him] 

  Rumble : [notices the python]  Hey, hold that pose! I wanna remember you that way!

  [the python drops on top of Starscream, wrapping itself around him] 

  Starscream : Uhhh! Help! Get this thing off me! Oh-oh-uhh!

  [the Decepticons burst out laughing at Starscream's predicament] 

  Rumble : [laughs nastily]  I think it looks stunning on ya! He-he-he!

  [a leopard attacks Ravage. Using his weapons, Ravage fights it off] 

  Starscream : Enough of this! Let's fly! Uuh!

  [at last, Starscream manages to shake off the python] 

  Megatron : No! We must remain on the ground to avoid satellite detection.

• [after scaring off the archaeologists, the Decepticons cut a hole in the spaceship hull, revealing small shining crystal - the "Heart of Cybertron"] 

  Megatron : After millions of years, it's mine! Hook, your cyber-forceps.

  [Hook gives Megatron his cyber-forceps. Megatron uses them to remove the Heart] 

  Megatron : The Heart of Cybertron! This tiny energy maximizer powered our ship all the way from Cybertron to this miserable planet.

  [Megatron places the Heart in Hook's palm] 

  Hook : And what will you do with it now?

  Megatron : Implant it inside me.

  [Megatron lies on the ground, opening his chest-lid. Hook implants the Heart inside Megatron's chest] 

  Hook : [closing Megatron's chest-lid]  It is done, Megatron.

  Megatron : I know...

  [Megatron rises on his feet] 

  Megatron : ...for already the power courses through my circuits!

  Optimus Prime : You'll need every bit of it, Megatron! Autobots, attack!

  [using his new power, Megatron shoots beams of energy from his fingers, hitting Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime collapses, smoke rises from his chest] 

  Ratchet : Prime!

  Megatron : Come on, Autobots! Follow your leader's orders and attack!

  [Megatron shoots at the Autobots more energy beams] 

• [as Megatron continues firing at the force-field, it is finally destroyed, leaving Optimus Prime, Ratchet and Wheeljack at the mercy of Megatron] 

  Ratchet : The force field is down!

  [Megatron ceases fire in order to savour his moment of victory - and that proves to be his undoing. Now that the stream of brain impulses stopped for a moment, at last Perceptor can reach the last wire] 

  Perceptor : Ohh! Got to... disconnect it!

  [Perceptor grabs the last wire, preparing to rip it. Unaware of what is happening inside him, Megatron is overconfident of his seemingly imminent victory] 

  Megatron : It's all over, Prime!

  Optimus Prime : Not until every Autobot program is erased, Megatron!

  Megatron : You're finished! Ehh!

  [Megatron raises his hands... but no fire bolts are shot from his fingers] 

  Megatron : What?

  Ratchet : Perceptor did it!

• [last lines] 

  [Brawn throws the Heart of Cybertron with all his might to deep space] 

  Optimus Prime : Track it, Perceptor!

  Perceptor : I'm on it!

  [Perceptor transforms into telescope] 

  Perceptor : One thousand miles... fifteen-hundred miles... two thousand miles!

  [as the Heart is far enough from Earth, Perceptor shoots at it, striking his target. The explosion fills the sky with bright light rays. Everyone realizes what disaster could have happened if the Heart had exploded on Earth] 

  Optimus Prime : Sharp shooting, Perceptor.

  [Perceptor transforms back into robot] 

  Ratchet : [places his hand on Bumblebee's shoulder]  Do you realize that we just saved Megatron's life?

  Brawn : Somebody saved *all* our lives!

  Optimus Prime : Who, Brawn?

  Brawn : [places his hand on Perceptor's shoulder]  Ask my buddy here about it, and ask him polite, because anyone who doesn't think he's a hero - is gonna have to answer to me!

  [Brawn pats amiably on Perceptor's chest]
