• 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.

• 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.
