Ultra Magnus : Blurr, get the Dinobots in the shuttle!
Blurr : [speaking quickly] I'm trying to get them in the shuttle, Ultra Magnus. 'Cause I know we can't launch the shuttle until I get them into the shuttle. But I can't seem to get them into the shuttle 'cause they're impossible, impossible, impossible!
Ultra Magnus : Okay, forget it! Kup, Hot Rod, you guys get the Dinobots aboard and get out of here.

Galvatron : Puny Autobot. You lack even Prime's courage. Come out Autobot. We all must die sometime.
Hot Rod : Not today, Galvatron!
[Hot Rod tackles Galvatron. Galvatron then puts his hands around Hot Rod's throat and begins choking him]

Quintesson : Would you like to beg for your lives? It sometimes helps... but not often.

Kup : Of all the circuit glitched, diode blown dimwittery. You left a piece out.
Hot Rod : No way. You're just a little stiff.
Kup : Anyway all things considered you did an amazing job lad. Amazing.
Hot Rod : Really?
Kup : Yeah. You even got rid of a nasty burr in my rotator. Now let's find the Dinobots and get off of this twisted planet.

Kup : Yep, I remember the dust was so thick on Beta 4, you had to use windshield wipers on your optic sensors.
Grimlock : Me Grimlock know all about wipers! Want to hear good part of story!
Swoop : Good part, Kup! Tell Swoop good part!
Kup : Okay, okay. Well, the dust was really thick, and this gigantic icthyac came tromping down the mountain, flames spewing out of its nostrils, and I thought for sure...
Hot Rod : Hey, Kup, don't you think we have better things to do now than tell old stories?
Kup : Like what?
Hot Rod : Like maybe figure out how we're gonna rescue our friends and then save Cybertron.
Grimlock : No! Tell story!
-
Hot Rod : Why settle for a peek, Daniel, when you can see everything from Lookout Mountain?
-
Ultra Magnus : You're all alive!
Hot Rod : The Matrix?
Ultra Magnus : It's gone...
Kup : And with it all hope.
Hot Rod : No!

Hot Rod : Where's Galvatron? Where is he?
Wreck-Gar : And the answer is... Unicron!

Hot Rod : The Matrix.

Hot Rod : Not by a Decepticon.
Galvatron : Like it or not, we are allies now against a common foe.
[shrill noises and bright lights surround Galvatron]
Unicron : Destroy him, Galvatron *now* or you, yourself shall be obliterated.
Galvatron : Of course, my master.

Hot Rod : Heh, not bad for an old timer.
Kup : Old Timer? That's something you'll never be, if you don't get back to the city.
Hot Rod : [shouts] Save it, Kup!
[Blitzwing comes screaming over head very closely while shooting at the two]
Hot Rod : Let's *burn rubber*!
[Both Hot Rod and Kup transform]
