Quotes 

• [At the Decepticons' base] 

  Shawn Berger : [to Megatron]  You promised me three cities!

  Megatron : [laughs sarcastically]  So, still trying to up the ante? How pathetic...

  [Megatron and Berger are watching on screen the Autobots' spaceship. As the ship gets closer and closer to the sun, Megatron laughs viciously, rubbing his hands in sadistic pleasure. At the spaceship, the Autobots collapse one after another, unable to function. Optimus Prime looks sadly at the other Autobots] 

  Optimus Prime : No... chance... left.

  Megatron : Five, four, three, two, one - zero!

  [the spaceship hits the sun and explodes on impact] 

  Megatron : It's over! The Autobots are subatomic particles. Now, Berger, I believe we have a press conference to attend.

  [the Decepticons and Berger leave the base] 

• [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] 

• [Chip managed to reach the Autobots' headquarters] 

  Chip Chase : Come on, Teletraan... I need to know about the Autobot rocket!

  [Chip clicks the console. Words appear on the computer main screen: "Rocket navigation systems over ride"] 

  Chip Chase : Who altered the flight plan?

  [Megatron's image appears on the screen] 

  Chip Chase : Megatron?

  [reading aloud the words which appear next on the screen] 

  Chip Chase : The rocket was sent into the Sun and...

  [gasps] 

  Chip Chase : has been destroyed?

  [Chip grasps his head in despair, realizing that Berger told the truth about the Autobots' rocket. Then an idea comes to his mind:] 

  Chip Chase : Teletraan, what about Cosmos?

  [Cosmos' image appears on the screen] 

  Chip Chase : Has he been destroyed, too? Please...

  Chip Chase : [loud noise from the ceiling alerts Chip. He turns back to see what the noise is about]  What...?

  [Thrust breaks through the ceiling and transforms back to robot] 

  Thrust : [mocking]  We missed you back at the power plant, human! Why are you here?

  Chip Chase : [stammers in fear]  I, uh... I...

  Thrust : You didn't come here just to see this leftover computer?

  [to Chip's horror, Thrust points his arm-cannon toward Teletraan's main screen] 

  Chip Chase : No, not Teletraan! Stop! Don't! That's all we have left!

  [Thrust, ignoring Chip's pleads, shoots at the screen, causing considerable damage to the computer] 

  Thrust : Why? It's just a burned-out wreck!

  Chip Chase : [furiously looks at the damaged computer]  You... pile of reject parts! I'll...

  [Thrust picks Chip. Angrily, Chip strikes the huge metal hand, making no impression on the Decepticon] 

  Thrust : 'Reject parts'?

  [burst out laughing] 

  Thrust : Ha-ha-ha!

  [taking Chip, Thrust transforms and flies back to the power plant, unaware that his act of vandalism - quite ironically - helped the Autobots] 

• [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.

• Chip Chase : You... pile of reject parts! I'll...

  [Chip hits Thrust's hand] 

  Thrust : "Reject parts"? Ha-ha-ha!

• [last lines] 

  Ironhide : [frees Chip of the electronic handcuffs]  Uhh, there you go, Chip. Free.

  Chip Chase : Huh, thanks, Ironhide! Is there anything you can't do?

  [the Autobots and the ex-prisoners are gathered outside the power plant] 

  Mayor : If you can ever forgive us, Optimus Prime, please stay here on Earth.

  Shawn Berger : [genuinely remorseful]  I doubt anyone will ever forgive me, but I'll... I'll make amends. I'll... I'll disband my private army.

  Sparkplug Witwicky : [sarcastically]  Oh, that's real *big* of you, Berger. They all quit when they found out what a dog lunch you are!

  [one of Berger's ex-guards nods in approval] 

  Shawn Berger : Well, um, I... I... I said I'm sorry.

  Optimus Prime : You are going to face justice, and may it be kinder to you than it was to us. Autobots, transform and roll for home!

  [the Autobots transform into vehicles and drive to base with their three loyal human friends]
