- Dreadwing: Lord Megatron, I live to serve.
- Megatron: Rise, Dreadwing. Loyalty such as yours is a rare commodity.
- Dreadwing: Mine runs deep and true, and yet, it is not loyalty alone that has brought me here.
- Megatron: Oh?
- Dreadwing: I seek confirmation of the demise of one whom I considered brother.
- Megatron: How did you learn of his passing?
- Dreadwing: My twin and I shared a split spark. A metal but two halves of the same life force. Even across the galaxy I sensed when he emerged from stasis on this planet, and when his spark was no more.
- [Soundwave displays video footage of Skyquake's death]
- Megatron: It is true, Skyquake perished at the hands of the Autobots. Though, not in fact under my watch.
- Dreadwing: Then by the Pit, every last Autobot on this accursed world will pay!
- Optimus Prime: Wheeljack, this planet is heavily inhabited. Any strike we make against the Decepticons must be carefully measured... as a team. Least we risk endangering the human population.
- Wheeljack: Are you suggesting we just sit back and do nothing?
- Agent William Fowler: You! Loose cannon! Your cowboy antics almost blew our cover!
- Wheeljack: Cover?
- Bulkhead: We're robot in disguise, Jacky. You need an Earth-based vehicle mode outside of here.
- Agent William Fowler: That spaceship you shot down, NOT EARTH-BASED! Had to jump through some big hoops to get it hauled out of plain sight! You need to keep a tighter leash on your people, Prime!
- Wheeljack: "A tighter leash"? Let me clarify, tiny...
- Bulkhead: Jacky!
- Wheeljack: ...I'm *not* one of Optimus Prime's people.
- Agent William Fowler: [about Wheeljack] So, the new guy has a little problem with authority.
- Optimus Prime: Wheeljack and Bulkhead served together in the Wreckers, a combat unit that operated outside the normal chain of command.
- Agent William Fowler: Hmm, Black Ops.
- Optimus Prime: They accepted missions no one else would. And many of them did not come back.
- Dreadwing: I will gladly sacrifice myself to avenge my brother!
- Optimus Prime: Then we will, in turn, gladly join the Allspark with our brother.
- Bulkhead: Oh yeah, Jack is back!
- Agent William Fowler: I dont care if Abraham Lincoln's back! We have to contain the situation before we all wind up on the eleven o'clock news!
- Bulkhead: Jackie, look, even if it weren't for the humans we couldn't take on the Cons right now! We're outnumbered!
- Wheeljack: Roadbuster, Pyro, Impactor, Rotorstorm, Seaspray... all dust.
- Bulkhead: That's what I'm talking about! Wreckers or Autobots, there just aren't that many of us left. But if we get behind Optimus, we have a chance to end this once and for all.
- Wheeljack: Guys like Optimus, they talk a good game, but when you're in the scrap they don't wanna get their hands dirty.
- Optimus Prime: If you will not take orders from me, that is one thing. But when you place one of my Autobots in danger...
