Peter Cullen: Optimus Prime

Quotes 

• Optimus Prime : June, it deeply grieves me that I have failed. But I will do everything in my power to ensure that no harm comes to our human friends or any human ever again.

  June Darby : Optimus... they're children. They do not belong in your world. They should be worrying about grades, prom dates, pimples-not their own survival!

• Optimus Prime : Before the beginning... there was Primus. And there was Unicron. One, the incarnation of creation-the other... of destruction. For eons, Primus and Unicron battled, the balance of power shifting between them more times than could be counted. Only by creating the Thirteen-the original Primes who preceded me-was Primus finally able to defeat Unicron and cast him out. Primus became one with the very core of our planet, creating life through the Well of All Sparks, while Unicron was never to be heard from again... until now.

• Jack Darby : [trying to reason with his mom]  Mom, Dark Energon is pouring out of the Earth. It doesn't do that. This could be about everyone's survival, not just ours.

  June Darby : You're coming with me, all three of you!

  [to Optimus] 

  June Darby : And they will not be coming back.

  Optimus Prime : I understand.

  Miko Nakadai : That's it? After all we've been through together? "See ya"? What about *our* freedom to choose?

  June Darby : That may fly on their planet, but not here on Earth. Get in.

  Miko Nakadai : Do you really expect me to ride in a non-transforming vehicle?

  June Darby : Miko, I'm serious.

  Miko Nakadai : You're not my mother.

  Bulkhead : Miko...

  Miko Nakadai : Neither are you!

  June Darby : [to Jack]  Well I am your mother.

  Arcee : She *is* your mother.

  [Jack looks at his mom for a moment before making up his mind] 

  Jack Darby : I'm staying. I'm sorry.
