Quotes 

• [At the mayor's office, Spike shows the mayor the incriminating tape which proves that the Autobots are innocent, and that the transformers in the film were in fact the Decepticons in disguise] 

  Spike Witwickey : Well, Mr. mayor?

  [the mayor stops the film and ejects the tape] 

  Mayor : This evidence is conclusive, Spike. How could we have been so stupid?

  Spike Witwickey : We've got to bring the Autobots back!

  Mayor : I'm afraid that's impossible...

  [the mayor gives the tape back to Spike] 

  Mayor : ...but there may be something we can do.

• [at the press conference hall, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Berger are standing in front of the TV cameras. Reporters sit in lines. TV technicians prepare the broadcasting equipment] 

  Shawn Berger : [On TV]  Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our regular programming to present...

  Megatron : [On TV]  People of Earth! This is Megatron. Any questions? You, in front.

  [Unnoticed, Spike, Sparkplug, Chip and mayor sneak in, with the incriminating tape in their possession, intending to reveal the Decepticons' scheme in public] 

  Reporter : Thank you, sir

  [looking at his notes] 

  Reporter : Mr., uh, Megatron, now that the Autobots are gone - what are your plans here on Earth?

  Megatron : I'm glad you asked, Earth-germ!

  Shawn Berger : [turns to Megatron, shocked at this rudeness]  What?

  Megatron : My plan is to conquer this mud-ball of a planet, and

  [makes squashing gesture] 

  Megatron : suck it dry of energy!

  Reporter : [drops his notes in fear]  We've been had!

  [the audience mumbles in fear and shock] 

  Megatron : Yes! Thanks to my partner, Shawn Berger

  [gestures toward Berger, who stands speechless] 

  Megatron : .

  Reporter : Berger!

  Male audience member : Traitor!

  Female Audience Member : [gasps]  I don't believe it!

  Berger's Guard : [to another of Berger's guards]  We've been working for a traitor!

  Reporter : [waves his fist angrily at Berger]  Berger, you filthy swine!

  Shawn Berger : [Speechless, shakes in fear, realizing that he was used by the Decepticons to get rid of the Autobots, and now nothing can stop the Decepticons - all because of his lust for power] 

  Spike Witwickey : [to his friends, gesturing the tape, which is no longer needed as Megatron himself revealed the truth]  Nothing is more stale than old news.

  Berger's Guard : Shred my paycheck, Berger! I'm switching sides!

  [he and the other guard point their rifles at Berger and rush toward him, but Starscream shoots and destroys their rifles] 

  Megatron : Is anyone brave - or stupid enough - to oppose us? This city is under martial law... and *I* am the marshal!

  Shawn Berger : [bows his head in despair] 

• [Dirge, Thrust and Ramjet fly above the city] 

  Dirge : Let us teach them a lesson in sorrow!

  [the three Decepticon jets terrorizing the residents of the city, destroying buildings and cars] 

  Megatron : [his face shown on TV monitor]  I christen this city Megatronia 1! Soon there will be many more!

  [the monitor shows Dirge shooting in the city] 

  Spike Witwickey : He looks like he's gone crazy!

  Shawn Berger : [caught in despair]  It is over. I saw the Autobot ship, like a silver bullet, streaking toward the sun, and it collided - collided with destiny! I saw the end. They died in a cosmic funeral pyre!

  Spike Witwickey : You don't think what he said is true, do you?

  Chip Chase : There's not much room left for hope.

  Spike Witwickey : [tears fill his eyes]  Oh, no...

  Megatron : All flesh creatures shall fill energon cubes at once!

• [after hearing that the Autobots' ship was destroyed] 

  Spike Witwickey : The Autobots may be gone, but I still have to clear their names!

  [Spike runs with the incriminating tape, intending to use it to reveal the Decepticons' trick. Sparkplug tries to stop his son, but it is too late] 

  Sparkplug Witwicky : Spike, Son! Don't! Spike, come back!

  [hearing the commotion, Soundwave turns and sees Spike running away with the tape] 

  Soundwave : Laserbeak, Ravage - get him!

  [Soundwave presses a switch on his left shoulder. His chest-lid opens, and Laserbeak and Ravage emerge, chasing Spike. While running, Spike's foot gets caught at projector base. He falls down and the tape drops from his hand] 

  Spike Witwickey : The tape!

  [Laserbeak shoots and destroys the tape, while Ravage charges at Spike. At the last moment, Spike stands on his feet and jumps aside. Ravage bumps against pile of filming equipment and gets caught in it] 

  Shawn Berger : It is the end! Hahah! The apocalypse!

  [to the astonishment of the others, Berger rushes to help Spike] 

  Mayor : Berger!

  [Laserbeak shoots at Spike, narrowly missing. Berger grabs microphone pole and hits Laserbeak with it. Laserbeak loses balance while flying and crashes down. Meanwhile, Ravage manages to get free and charges again at Spike. Spike turns on a projector directly at Ravage, blinding him temporarily, halting his charge. Berger approaches Spike] 

  Shawn Berger : Are you all right, kid?

  Megatron : [approaches them]  Compassion is for fools, Berger! You're going nowhere, boy!

  [Starscream and Soundwave pick Sparkplug and Chip] 

  Spike Witwickey : Megatron, please, don't hurt them...

  Megatron : [teasing]  And why should I want to hurt them? Healthy slaves can do much more work. And you, Berger, do you still want your reward?

  Shawn Berger : Yes!

  Megatron : Then you shall have it. Everything that you've earned...

  [Megatron laughs viciously] 

• [At the power plant] 

  Chip Chase : Spike, I've got to get to Autobot Headquarters. Maybe I can get Teletraan to help us out of this fix.

  Spike Witwickey : [smiles]  Hmm, it's worth a try. I'll give you some cover.

  [Spike waits till Soundwave looks in different direction, then he leaves his post. Hiding behind machinery, Spike notices a cart loaded with energon cubes. Spike runs to the cart and slams his shoulder against it. The cart rolls away, rapidly accelerating, toward Rumble. Rumble, who is carrying energon cube, notices the cart too late. The cart slams into Rumble with great force, the energon cubes are thrown away from it, and without slowing - it continues its course with Rumble at the front, scaring the workers away] 

  Spike Witwickey : Roll, Chip! Roll!

  [Chip rolls his wheelchair toward the exit. The cart, caught in its momentum, smashes Rumble against machinery. The impact causes severe damage. Rumble, unable to move away from the damaged console, groans in agony as he suffers electric shock of thousands volts. Megatron approaches as he hears the commotion] 

  Megatron : Shut off the power!

  [one of the prisoners turns off the main power switch. The room is engulfed with darkness. At last Rumble manages to move away from the damaged machinery. Chip reaches the door, unfortunately it is protected with invisible knee-high infra-red beam. As Chip crosses the beam, the alarm is activated. Chip does not linger, but rolls outside as fast as he can. Hearing the alarm, Soundwave looks through the window and notices Chip] 

  Soundwave : Megatron! Immobilized human escapes.

  [the lights are back. The prisoners cover their eyes, momentarily blinded by the sudden burst of light] 

  Megatron : He is harmless!

  [Megatron laughs viciously] 

  Megatron : Thrust! Bring him back!

  [Thrust nods. He steps outside, transforms to airplane and flies above the plant. While Chip hides around the corner of the building, he sees Ramjet standing near a truck whose trailer doors are open, with digonal board leaning on its edge for loading. A worker pushes cart full of crates on the board into the truck. As Ramjet and the worker walk away, Chip seizes the opportunity, rolling his wheelchair on the board into the truck trailer. He hides inside the trailer near a crack in its wall] 

  Chip Chase : It's not an Autobot, but it'll have to do.

  [the worker returns. He puts the board inside the truck, closes the doors and drives away. Chip looks through the crack till he sees gas station with huge sign "STAN'S"] 

  Chip Chase : That's it!

  [the driver stops the truck at the station. Looking at the side mirror, he is puzzled to see Chip exiting from the trailer] 

  Chip Chase : [waving to the driver]  That's my stop, thanks!

• [after the Air Force retreated, Megatron boasts his victory] 

  Megatron : You see? Even Earth's mightiest warriors cannot stop us. Soon, other cities will fall, then others, one after the next... until Earth is ours!

  [Megatron points his arm-cannon at the prisoners] 

  Shawn Berger : No, I won't let you!

  [Berger rushes toward Megatron, placing himself in front of the other prisoners. With slight move of his hand, Megatron knocks Berger down] 

  Megatron : Grovel for my amusement!

  [Megatron points again his his arm-cannon at the prisoners, who are paralyzed with fear. Suddenly, loud noise is heard from the outside, as if many vehicles are heading to the power plant] 

  Spike Witwickey : You hear that? It sounds like...

  Chip Chase , Sparkplug Witwicky : [excitedly]  Autobots!

  Optimus Prime : [his voice is heard from outside the building]  Megatron!

  Megatron : No!

  [Megatron blasts a hole in the near wall, scaring the workers away. He runs outside and is shocked to see all the Autobots there] 

  Megatron : Impossible! I saw you disintegrated!

  Optimus Prime : Illusion, Megatron. Just as you made the people of Earth see us as villains - so we, too, staged an illusion.

• Megatron : Decepticons, assemble for battle!

  Optimus Prime : [transforms]  Autobots - transform!

  [the Autobots transform into robots mode, pointing their weapons] 

  Ironhide : And let's show 'em a little reality...

  Megatron : No missing!

  [the Decepticons open fire. The Autobots hesitate for a moment, then return fire. Optimus Prime shoots at Starscream, severely hits him. Starscream yells in agony and collapses] 

  Megatron : Keep firing! Don't leave an Autobot standing!

  Ironhide : Come on, guys! Let's wrap this package of Decepticon garbage!

  [Spike, Sparkplug and Chip get close to the hole in the wall] 

  Chip Chase : Who's winning, Spike?

  Spike Witwickey : [smiles]  guess...

  Starscream : [struggling to his feet]  It's no use... we're outnumbered.

  [once again, Starscream is shot and collapses. Megatron looks back and sees that nearly all the Decepticons are down, severely damaged, unable to fight] 

  Megatron : We've lost the advantage!

  [Megatron, as always, is the first to flee. The other Decepticons transform and follow their leader in shameful retreat] 

• [back at the power plant] 

  Chip Chase : [whimpering]  I should never have gone to Autobot Headquarters... now Teletraan is destroyed.

  Spike Witwickey : Hey, Chip, you tried.

  [Spike places his hand consolingly on his friend's shoulder] 

  Spike Witwickey : Teletraan wouldn't have been much help without the Autobots, anyway.

  [Soundwave shoots above Chip and Spike's heads, frightening them] 

  Soundwave : Work!

  Chip Chase : [back to work]  Now there's no hope at all.

• [now that the Autobots are gone, the Decepticons seize control of the city, ruthlessly enslaving the residents. The people are forced into hard labor at refineries, power plants and mines, working to exhaustion in producing energon cubes, while the Decepticons oversee them. Spike, Sparkplug, Chip, the mayor and Berger are imprisoned in a power plant, watched by Soundwave, their hands are chained with electric handcuffs] 

  Soundwave : Increase efficiency or be terminated!

  [Soundwave shoots over the workers' heads] 

  Chip Chase : Those generators never worked so hard before.

  Spike Witwickey : Generators? What about us?

  Mayor : [pants heavily while working]  Megatron was true to his word. He rewarded Berger with everything... he deserved.

  [the mayor glances at Berger, who is forced to work like the other captives, clearly not used to hard labor. One of Berger's ex-gaurds passes by, carrying energon cube on his back, glaring at his former employer with hatred] 

  Berger's Guard : What's the matter, traitor? Real work's something new to you?

  Chip Chase : Berger sure doesn't have many friends in these ranks.

  Spike Witwickey : Still, I can't forget how he tried to help me...

  [a shot, fired by Soundwave, passes between Spike and Chip, narrowly misses them. They recoil in horror] 

  Soundwave : Less talk and more work.
