Optimus Primal quotes from Beast Machines: Transformers

Optimus Primal

Transform back before Tankor locks in on you.

Rattrap

But... but... I am transformed!

Megatron

Now, if there are no further interruptions.

Optimus Primal

I'm afraid there will be.

Optimus Primal

Tankor! Tankor!

Megatron

I'm sorry, Tankor is not available at the present time. Would you like to leave a message?

Optimus Primal

How do you expect to master your new body if you keep turning your back on the Matrix, the source of our very sparks.

Cheetor

I hate to disappoint you, Big Bot, but, [grunts] in the heat of the battle, I have to follow my instincts, not blind faith.

Megatron

See how quickly your friends turn on you? They promised you great power, but only I delivered it. They abandoned you, Rattrap. They did worse than hate you. They pitied you.

Rattrap

Ya still think ya gotta cover for me? [Fires on Cheetor, Blackarachnia and Nightscream] Ya still wanna cut me loose? You never believed in me, ever!

Optimus Primal

[Enters] I believed in you. What do you mean by firing at your friends?

Megatron

He's right. Optimus is the one you want. He's the one who lied to you; who kept making promises he never intended to keep. He made you weak; defenseless.

Optimus Primal

Look inside yourself, Rattrap. You don't need his weapons. You're stronger than you know - stronger than any of you know.

Optimus Primal

Rattrap, delay that order! Maximals, stand down.

Cheetor

But, Optimus, he was...

Optimus Primal

Rhinox has made, his choice. If we tamper with his mind then we're no better than Megatron. Let him go. Megatron wants this planet to run harmoniously. But harmony without free will isn't harmony at all, freedom at all. [To Tankorr] I pray you understand that in time.

Good-bye, Optimus. When we meet again, it will not be as allies.

Cheetor

[Underground] How could you let him go? He wasn't just one of us, he was, the best of us.

Black Arachnia

He doesn't like it any more than you do, Cheetor, so let it go. He understands the Matrix, and our role in the grand scheme.

Optimus Primal

Rhinox? Alive?!

Sadly, I won't be able to say the same for you much longer. [to Megatron] Nor of you, "master"! [prepares to blast him, but suddenly suffers an electrifying seizure]

Megatron

[laughs] You can't destroy me — it's hardwired into your programming! Did you think I would grant you a spark and not protect myself from your treachery? You've been the perfect pawn all along, your independent mind weaving webs of deceit that I would never have conceived. I must thank you! If I never let you roam free, I never would have obtained the key to my victory!

Rattrap

Whoo hoo! Does it ever feel good to be a team again.

Black Arachnia

What's wrong?

Silverbolt

Megatron used me to infect all of you. Still happy to have me back?

Optimus Primal

More than ever, old friend.

Silverbolt

['"Stopping the others from fighting] This madness ends now!

Optimus Primal

Yeah. Starting with you!

Silverbolt

Stop! We've all been infected with a virus. Can't you feel it?

Nightscream

Why should we trust you, Jetstorm?

Silverbolt

Because! I know better than anyone that the hating and the hurting have got to end.

Optimus Primal

Yeah. You're right.

Optimus Primal. You and your Maximals are hereby invited to surrender your sparks to Megatron.

Optimus Primal

Whoever you are, you're being duped into betraying your own people!

On the contrary. I was configured to defend Cybertron. And such has always been my mission.

Optimus Primal

Always? Who are you?

I am as I've always been: Obsidian! And you remember my consort, Strika.

Rattrap

Oh, man... we've been dukin' it out with two of the greatest generals in Cybertronian history!

Optimus Primal

Obsidian, this is treason! Megatron decimated Cybertron!

Megatron IS Cybertron! To defend one is to defend the other! And to betray Megatron is to invite death.

Megatron

So, Optimus Primal, it all comes down to you and me. Or should I say, you and you?

Optimus Primal

Megatron... in my old body!

Megatron

Minus the impediment of a beast mode, of course.

Optimus Primal

But why?

Megatron

Victory is just delicious when seasoned with irony, is it not?

Optimus Primal

For the sake of Cybertron, for the sake of the Matrix, I WILL NEVER SURRENDER!

Megatron

[laughs] Bravado in the face of death! How droll.

Optimus Primal

We must seek the balance, Megatron. Not only between the organic and the technological, but the balance between eternal enemies! Between you and I!

Megatron

NNNOOOO!

Optimus Primal

The great transformation awaits, Megatron, prepare to be reformatted.

Megatron

NNNNNOOOOOOO!
