Megatron quotes from Beast Machines: Transformers

Megatron

Don't you ever get tired of losing?

Megatron

And now, Optimus Primal, it's your turn.

Megatron

My great ascension is finally complete! YES!!!

Optimus Primal

Megatron... What have you done with the Council of Elders?!

Megatron

Alas, they are no longer in control. Cybertron is now my domain. You may bow before your new lord and master.

Megatron

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!

Optimus Primal

My memory's a little faulty, Megatron, but I seem to recall you picking up a beast mode yourself.

Megatron

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!

Optimus Primal

Frustrating, isn't it? Trying to focus on four chaotic individual minds at once...

Megatron

SILENCE!

Optimus Primal

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!

Optimus Primal

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.

Megatron

No, Primal. You have failed! You're still too late to save your people. Billions of Transformers - their extinguished sparks are on your hands!

Optimus Primal

What have you done with them?!

Megatron

Perhaps if you'd won the Beast Wars, things would be different. Who's to say? [transforms back to robot mode]

Optimus Primal

[furiously] TELL ME WHAT YOU'VE DONE! [involuntarily returns to beast mode]

Megatron

Who's the beast now, Primal?

Megatron

How is this possible? My battle drones are models of technological perfection. They possess superior firepower and maneuverability, and yet they are continually defeated by a small pack of lowly beasts. Why?

Free will?

Megatron

Hmm, interesting notion.

Megatron

I gave you each a spark. I granted you independent thought, individual identities. I asked only one thing in return: the complete and utter destruction of four puny Maximals. WHY HAS THIS NOT HAPPENED?!

Jetstorm

Okay, Magnificence, check this out. I have the whole zoo on the ropes, and I'm bobbing, weaving and flying circles round them like nobody's business. [points at Tankor and Thrust] Then these two LUGNUTS have to come along and mess up my timing!

Megatron

[blasts Jetstorm with an electrifying cannon] An interesting tale. Now here are some meaningful words. I am your creator. Please me and I shall reward you. Disappoint me... [blasts all three generals] and you shall suffer. A difficult choice?

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?

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.

Megatron

You have the makings of a fine Vehicon, yes.

Rattrap

Not from where I'm standing. The monkey's right; I am stronger than you know.

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!

Nightscream

Where's Noble? What have you done with his spark?!

Megatron

There never was any "Noble's spark".

Nightscream

No! He was my friend! [tries to attack, but is held back by Optimus]

Megatron

For an eternity, I slaved to free myself from the organic material contaminating my otherwise perfect technological body. I finally succeeded in separating the two, but my spark remained with the wrong half — the organic half. I knew that the answer to curing myself lay inside my citadel. But as an organic beast, I could never hope to enter it and survive. Which is why I needed you, Nightscream! Naïve, headstrong, and utterly malleable. You proved the perfect pawn.

Nightscream

NO!

Megatron

And now in gratitude, I will free you from your organic bodies!
