- Quintesson: [after Galvatron enters the control room] Please stop!
- Galvatron: Never Quintesson! This world is *ours*! Optimus Prime shall die again!
- [Lights start to come out of Optimus Prime. Galvatron stops]
- Galvatron: [surprised] What? What is this?
- Optimus Prime: [awakens, opens his chest and removes and opens the Matrix] Now light our darkest hour!
- Goldbug: Back, I'm better than ever! I've gone beyond being plain old Bumblebee, I'm a Gold Bug!
- Optimus Prime: That you are, Bumblebee! So from now, on that's exactly who you'll be, Goldbug.
- Hot Rod: The wisdom of the ages... it's lost.
- Optimus Prime: Not lost. We're all a little wiser now.
- Hot Rod: But the Matrix is empty.
- Optimus Prime: It's up to all of us to fill with the wisdom we accumulate from this day forward. Autobots... transform and roll out!
- Autobot Elder: The plague you speak of has visited us once before. A wise man was able to contain the spores, and shoot them into a sun. The only way to fight such madness is with wisdom. Unfortunately, no *one* person now has the wisdom to contain the spores, much less destroy them now that they are spread across the galaxy.
- Optimus Prime: Perhaps there does exist a source of wisdom powerful enough to destroy the spores, and save the galaxy. The accumulated wisdom that resides within the Matrix!
- Galvatron: Come on, Optimus, tell me! Why do you want this metal? How will it be used? Why is it so precious?
- Optimus Prime: I've explained it to you.
- Galvatron: You told me it was important, but you didn't tell me why!
- Optimus Prime: That's because I know you too well, Galvatron.
- Alpha Trion: Optimus... why have you returned?
- Optimus Prime: To find a cure for the spore plague. Can you help me, Alpha Trion?
- Alpha Trion: If there is a cure, I know nothing of it.
- Optimus Prime: Then I must journey farther back.
- Alpha Trion: Be careful! For if you travel too far, you may become lost, and never find your way back!
- Optimus Prime: If I do not try, there may be nothing to return to.
- Optimus Prime: No more games, Rodimus! Innocent lives are at stake!
- Rodimus Prime: No one is innocent!
- Blurr: Yeah! Let's go kick some Decepti-tail! I'm ready, willing and able! You can't keep a good robot down, you know what I mean? Let's go, let's go, let's go! What are we waitin' for?
- Goldbug: Chill out, Blurr! We need a plan! Okay, Optimus, what's the plan?
- Optimus Prime: I... have no plan.
- Optimus Prime: I don't want to hurt you, Rodimus!
- Rodimus Prime: Don't worry, Optimus, you won't! HAHAHAHAH!
