S1 E1The Reformatting
Everyone underground!
What makes you think it's any better down there? [A tank nearby explodes] I withdraw the question.
OThe Oracle
The Great Transformation awaits, Optimus Primal. Prepare to be... reformatted. Remember this; the seeds of the future lie buried in the past. To unleash the warrior within, you must tame the beast without. Seek the balance, Optimus Primal. Transform your destiny. Transform and transcend...
[The Maximals, in their new reformatted bodies, try to transform and fail]
Uh, boss, do these upgrades come with a warranty?
Of course! "The seeds of the future lie buried in the past"!
Why do you keep saying that?!
According to legend, the first robots who came to Cybertron had to learn how to transform. It took discipline, purity of spark, years of practice...
News flash for ya, monkey boy: WE AIN'T GOT YEARS!
Awesome transformation, big bot!
So, what's your secret?
I... understand.
Great. That makes one of us.
S1 E2Master of the House
Free your minds. Let go of old thinking. Focus on the transformation within.
What's with all the hocus-pocus? Just give us the command codes so we can transform already.
It's not that easy, Rattrap. The Oracle has melded us into a balance of both machine and living tissue. Command codes and onboard computers are things of the past.
So what are we? Robots or animals?
Both... and neither.
Well, that sure clears it up!
The key is finding the balance in yourself. Then and only then can you truly say: I am transformed.
I am transformed, I am sooo transformed I can't even believe it!... ehhh.
Just let it happen, don't try to make it happen. [Rattrap tries to force himself to transform] Can you feel it?
Oh! I feel a breakthrough coming...
Aw, come on, ever since we got to Cybertron, all we've done is run and hide.
Megatron... What have you done with the Council of Elders?!
Alas, they are no longer in control. Cybertron is now my domain. You may bow before your new lord and master.
I am the future. I have forged this entire planet into a single elegant machine. A vision of technological purity and order. And you four mongrels would dare contaminate that vision with your accursed beast modes!
My memory's a little faulty, Megatron, but I seem to recall you picking up a beast mode yourself.
I wiped it clean from my shell! Like a virus! The same way I wiped this planet clean! The same way I intend to finish the job with you!
What's wrong, Megatron? Is your single elegant machine having trouble multitasking?
Frustrating, isn't it? Trying to focus on four chaotic individual minds at once...
SILENCE!
You're still ruled by emotions. That's not very "technologically pure", is it? You can feel the anger rising in you! You're just about ready to EXPLODE!
Look at yourself, Megatron. See the thing you despise the most! Cybertron will never be pure so long as the beast exists within you! You've failed.
No, Primal. You have failed! You're still too late to save your people. Billions of Transformers - their extinguished sparks are on your hands!
What have you done with them?!
Perhaps if you'd won the Beast Wars, things would be different. Who's to say? [transforms back to robot mode]
[furiously] TELL ME WHAT YOU'VE DONE! [involuntarily returns to beast mode]
Who's the beast now, Primal?
S1 E3Fires of the Past
We were sloppy out there today: unfocused, reckless, insubordinate! One more mission like that and we may as well surrender to Megatron!
Sheesh! Bye-bye sand master, hello task master.
Blackarachnia! Were you even listening? I told you to transform!
Haha... If my beast mode were as ugly as hers, I wouldn't want to go back either.
You think this is a joke?! [Rattrap fears of him] We are Cybertron's only hope! [Screams in pain in his spark] I failed my people once... Ehk! I will not fail them again.
Heh! What crawled to his circuits?
Optimus, wait!
He's got a lot of his mind.
Speaking of which, how come you're so hard on staying in robot mode?
I have my reasons.
