Cheetor quotes from Beast Machines: Transformers

Cheetor

Hey! You just slagged your own guy! That's deep-freeze cold!

Cheetor

Aw, come on, ever since we got to Cybertron, all we've done is run and hide.

Cheetor

Hey, guys! Quit fighting. What are you trying to prove? That your logic circuits are all fried? [Angry shouting ensues]

Cheetor

Awesome transformation, big bot!

Rattrap

So, what's your secret?

Optimus Primal

I... understand.

Blackarachnia

Great. That makes one of us.

Optimus Primal

Free your minds. Let go of old thinking. Focus on the transformation within.

Rattrap

What's with all the hocus-pocus? Just give us the command codes so we can transform already.

Optimus Primal

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.

Cheetor

So what are we? Robots or animals?

Optimus Primal

Both... and neither.

Blackarachnia

Well, that sure clears it up!

Optimus Primal

The key is finding the balance in yourself. Then and only then can you truly say: I am transformed.

Optimus Primal

We were sloppy out there today: unfocused, reckless, insubordinate! One more mission like that and we may as well surrender to Megatron!

Rattrap

Sheesh! Bye-bye sand master, hello task master.

Optimus Primal

Blackarachnia! Were you even listening? I told you to transform!

Rattrap

Haha... If my beast mode were as ugly as hers, I wouldn't want to go back either.

Optimus Primal

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.

Rattrap

Heh! What crawled to his circuits?

Cheetor

Optimus, wait!

Blackarachnia

He's got a lot of his mind.

Rattrap

Speaking of which, how come you're so hard on staying in robot mode?

Blackarachnia

I have my reasons.

Cheetor

Use me for target practice? THAT'S IT! I Am Trans...

Optimus Primal

Negative. These storage bins may contain explosives.

Blackarachnia

[Scoffs] Aren't you being just a little overcautious?

Optimus Primal

Next question?

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.

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.

Rattrap

[probing Nightscream's systems] Hello, your body's got a built-in DNA scanner?

Nightscream

Duh! Everybody's got a built-in scanner for beast modes. We junked all the stasis pods in the quantum cycle upgrade, remember?

Rattrap

Sorry, kid. You tend to be a little out of the loop when you're on a distant planet fightin' the Beast Wars.

Nightscream

And you did a fine job winning it. Oh, I forgot, you fumbled the ball at the very last nano-click.

Rattrap

[Angrily slams Nightscream to the ground] You watch your mouth, junior! I lost friends in that war!

Cheetor

[Shoves Rattrap away] Hey, easy, Rattrap!

Blackarachnia

[Turns Nightscream around to face her] We all lost friends.

Thrust

What's the matter, maximals? A little slow on your feet!

Cheetor

We have to stop them before they find our base!

Nightscream

Who died and made you Optimus?!

Blackarachnia

What are you talking about?!

Cheetor

Listen to my voice!

Cheetor

I SAID SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND BEAT YOUR FEET! [growls]

Nightscream

It must be a new strain of that ancient hate-plague virus. Or didn't you guys ever take history?

Cheetor

So how do we counteract it?

Rattrap

In two words? Im-possible.

Megatron

A...nd... I have two more words for you Maximals: GOOD-BYE!

At long last. Transform your destiny. Transform and transcend.

Cheetor

I, understand.

Waspinator

No.. No.. Waspinator want glory, Waspinator want power... [Flies around Rattrap's face] And would Waspinator get... [Rattrap hits him away from his face] Waspinator never get would Waspinator want!

Rattrap

It just doesn't feel like victory without the boss monkey.

Cheetor

He's with us, Rattrap. As long as Cybertron is alive, Optimus lives on: in our hearts and our memories, as will Megatron, who also played a vital role in the grand scheme. The vision from the Oracle has come to pass. Optimus finally achieved his mission.
