- Cliffjumper: 'Scream. Been a while.
- [coughs up "oil"]
- Cliffjumper: So. Where's your master?
- Starscream: Never mind him! I am my own master.
- [Starscream thrusts his blade-like fingers into Cliffjumper's chest, causing him great pain]
- Starscream: Any more questions?
- ["Oil" starts leaking out of Cliffjumper's wound, and he lifelessly falls to the floor]
- Starscream: [to the drones] Clean that up.
- Arcee: Relax. I just want to talk to you.
- Jack Darby: Don't you mean you and your new friend?
- Arcee: Kid, there's a lot you don't understand.
- [Arcee's holographic driver disappears]
- Jack Darby: Look, I get it, I get it. The first rule of Robot Fight Club is that you don't talk about Robot Fight Club.
- Rafael 'Raf' Esquivel: So if you guys are robots, who made you?
- Ratchet: Pfff! Puh-lease!
- Optimus Prime: We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the planet Cybertron. Also known as Autobots.
- Jack Darby: Why are you here?
- Optimus Prime: To protect your planet from the Decepticons.
- Cliffjumper: So there I am on a lookout, when out of nowhere these high beams lit up my rear view. And then it hits me... I'm illegally parked.
- Arcee: Another parking ticket?
- Cliffjumper: Better... The boot!
- Arcee: Big metal tire clamp, impossible to remove.
- Cliffjumper: Bingo! So the local Po-lice do their thing, and I let them get all the way down the block. That's when I kick off my new shiny shoe, and BANG!
- Arcee: New York's finest soil themselves.
- Cliffjumper: You know me, Arcee. you mess with Cliffjumper...
- Arcee: And you get the horns.
- Optimus Prime: [asked why the Decepticons are on Earth] A fair question, Jack. In part, they are here because our planet is uninhabitable, ravaged by centuries of civil war.
- Rafael 'Raf' Esquivel: Why were you fighting a war?
- Optimus Prime: Foremost, over control of our world's supply of Energon, the fuel and lifeblood of all Autobots and Decepticons alike. The combat was fierce and endured for centuries. In the beginning, I fought alongside one whom I considered a brother. But in war, ideals can be corrupted. And it was thus... that Megatron lost his way.
- Miko Nakadai: Is there gonna be a quiz?
- Jack Darby: So, what does Megatron, or any of this, have to do with us?
- Optimus Prime: Megatron has not been seen nor heard from in some time. But if his return is imminent, as I fear, it could be catastrophic.
- Ratchet: Optimus, helping humans will only result in more tragedy.
- Optimus Prime: Your opinion is noted.
- Miko Nakadai: I'm Miko. Who are you?
- Bulkhead: Bulkhead.
- Miko Nakadai: Are you a car? I bet you're a truck - a monster truck! Do you like heavy metal? How much do you weigh? Ever use a wrecking ball for a punching bag?
- [Bulkhead looks confused]
- [after the Eradicon drones knock Cliffjumper down, knocking one of his horns off]
- Cliffjumper: You want the horns?
- [whips out his cannons]
- Cliffjumper: You've got 'em!
