    Kup : Finish him off, Prime! Do it now!

    [Optimus Prime picks up his laser rifle and takes aim] 

    Megatron : [feigning defeat as he reaches for a laser gun]  No more, Optimus Prime! Grant me mercy, I beg of you!

    Optimus Prime : You, who are without mercy, now plead for it? I thought you were made of sterner stuff!

  • Kup : Don't act hostile, I'll use the universal greeting.

    Hot Rod : Universal greeting?

    Kup : Watch, I'll have them eating out of my hands. Bah weep gragnah weep nini bong!

    Hot Rod : Bah weep gragnah weep nini bong?

    Allicon : Bah weep gragnah weep nini bong!

    Kup : See, the universal greeting works every time.

  • Hot Rod : I never thought I'd be so happy to see those big bozos.

    Grimlock : Me Grimlock no bozo. Me king!

    Quintesson Judge : Sharkticons, execute them!

    [Grimlock stomps his foot] 

    Grimlock : Me Grimlock say, execute *them*!

    Kup : I think the problems on this planet will be solved very shortly.

    Hot Rod : Yeah, but what about our problems? We need a ship.

  • Hot Rod : We've got to get a new travel agent. What is this place?

    Kranix : The world of the savage Sharkticons and their cruel masters the Quintessons. I am Kranix. My planet was destroyed by Unicron.

    Hot Rod : Unicron? Who's Unicron?

    Kranix : A planet that devours everything in its path.

    Kup : So that's the monster's name.

  • Springer : [sees Unicron attacking Cybertron]  I don't believe it.

    Hot Rod : Doesn't this remind you of anything, Kup?

    Kup : Nope, I've never seen anything like this before.

  • Kup : The Insecticons are in our way.

    Hot Rod : Wrong. They're our way in! Hyah!

    Kup : You're living one, now.

    [to Hot Rod] 

    Kup : Engage the boosters for Cybertron's sake!

    Grimlock : Tell Grimlock about petro-rabbits again.

    Kup : I'll give you petro-rabbits.

  • Kup : Reminds me of the Nitith slave mines on Galganas 7.

    Hot Rod : Every place reminds you of some place else.

    Kup : Experience, lad. You should learn to appreciate it.

    Hot Rod : A lot of good it's done us so far.

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

    Kup : I can't transform.

    Hot Rod : Keep trying.

    Quintesson : Silence or you'll be held in contempt of this court.

    Hot Rod : I have nothing but contempt for this court.

  • 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 : Decepticons!

    [Kup sees Hot Rod shooting at the shuttle] 

    Kup : What's that darn fool doing?

  • Hot Rod : They're closing on us.

    Kup : Yep, like the Shrikebats of Dromedon.

    Hot Rod : How'd you beat them?

    Kup : I'm trying to remember. There were an awful lot of casualties that day. Oh, yeah. We inverted polarities!

  • 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!

  • Kup : [to Hot Rod]  Turbo roddin' young punk! I'll straighten you out yet.

  • Rodimus Prime : Let this mark the end of the Cybertronian wars as we march forward to a new age of peace and happiness... Till all are one!

    [the Autobots start to escape Unicron's hull] 

    Daniel : Look!

    Rodimus Prime : Autobots, transform and roll out!

    [Spike and Daniel climb into transformed Rodimus Prime] 

    Kup : I always knew you had potential, lad.

    [the Autobots escape out Unicron's eye as he self-destructs] 

  • 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]
