Optimus Primal quotes from Beast Wars: Transformers

Optimus Primal

Megatron may be back, and there is still more energon. If they ever get enough, they could conquer the galaxy. So for now, let the battle be here, on this strange, primitive world. And let it be called... Beast Wars!

Cheetor

Hull breach in sector 7, guiding systems failing!

Rattrap

Oh man, this is ridiculous! We're an exploration ship, not a battle cruiser!

Optimus Primal

No choice. Our ship was the only one that could lock onto Megatron's warp signature.

Cheetor

Shields are doing a major fade!

Optimus Primal

Plasma cannons to full power.

Dinobot

Their shields are down. Destroy them!

Megatron

Now, where's the fun in that? A little torment I think first. Yesss. Side Guns!

Cheetor

Rapture. The stasis hold is failing.

Rhinox

We're going down.

Optimus Primal

Launch all pods, get them in the safe orbit. [Axalon releases all the stasis pods out of the Maximals' ship into the galaxy] ALL PLASMA CANNONS, FIRE!

Optimus Primal

Damage report.

Cheetor

Believe me, you don't wanna know.

Optimus Primal

[Sigh] That's what I thought.

Rattrap

Man, all this for a golden disk!

Optimus Primal

It was Cybertron's most carefully guarded relic, Rattrap. It gave the location of a major energon source. That's why Megatron stole it.

Rattrap

Yeah, like I care. Y'know, we were supposed to be doing deep space exploration. Playin' Galactic Patrol isn't nowhere in my job description, you know what I'm saying? You sure you're cut out for this commander gig?

Optimus Primal

Remember the Great War, Rattrap. If the Predacons get enough energon, they'll start it again. We can't let that happen. Besides, you wanted exploration, and here we are on an unknown planet. What more do you want?

Rattrap

Well, call me picky, but a working spacecraft might be nice.

Optimus Primal

[Sighs] Just no pleasing some people.

Rattrap

So, uh, is this your first day on the job or what?

Optimus Primal

Shut up, Rattrap.

Rattrap

Oh yes, sir! I feel heaps better knowing that our lives are in your capable hands! We're all gonna die.

Rattrap

Heads up! Roadblock!

Optimus Primal

Veer left! There's a clearing about a hundred meters! [Blocks his face and Rhinox charges the rock boulders] Ah, yes. Silly me.

Optimus Primal

We don't have to do this, Megatron! There has been peace between the Maximals and Predacons for centuries! Why start this up again?

Megatron

Peace perhaps on your side, Maximal scum, yes - but not on ours. Permit me to inform you that an enemy which appears to be peaceful may, in fact, be merely biding its time!

Cheetor

[Repairing his gun] Finally...

Megatron

We Predacons have never abandoned our rightful goal of galactic conquest! No... we have merely been waiting for the right moment... to STRIKE!

Cheetor

You mean like THIS!? [Fires at Megatron]

Optimus Primal

Cheetor!

Megatron

Ahh, a treacherous, under-handed sneak attack. Oh-ho-ho, I like you, pussycat, yes... But it shall avail you not, no! For now the power gauntlet has been cast! Predacons, TERRORIZE!

Optimus Primal

Do it! MAXIMIZE!

Tarantulas

Tarantulas, TERRORIZE!

Rhinox

Rhinox, MAXIMIZE!

Scorponok

Scorponok, TERRORIZE!

Rattrap

Rattrap: MAXIMIZE!

Terrorsaur: TERRORIZE!

Megatron

Megatron: TERRORIZE!

Optimus Primal

Optimus Primal: MAXIMIZE!

Megatron

Across the galaxy, it has come to this, Optimus Primal. Face to face, tooth to claw, yeeeesssss. Have you anything to say?

Optimus Primal

I'd say that's just prime. LET'S DO IT!

Megatron

Admit defeat, Maximal! The Energon shall be ours!

Optimus Primal

Not if I can help it!

Optimus Primal

Surrender, Megatron! You're trapped!

Megatron

NO! You shall not defeat ME!

Optimus Primal

It is over, Megatron!

Megatron

It is NEVER over! NO...! [Default ransforms] For if I must die, I shall take you with me! [fires a missile at Optimus Primal]

Dinobot

And does it matter if we blow some energon? Maybe it will take a few Predacons with it. That is what we want, is it not?

Optimus Primal

This mission, Dinobot, is to gain tactical advantage by taking out their base. Defeating them does not mean we have to annihilate them. You seem to have trouble understanding that.

Dinobot

What I understand is this; If situations were reversed, Megatron would spare the base and annihilate us!

Optimus Primal

[Sighs frustratedly] This eagerness of yours to scrap Megatron is clouding your judgement.

Dinobot

We are at war, Optimus! War! I think it is your judgement that is clouded.

Optimus Primal

Rattrap, you commanded well in my absence.

Rattrap

Err..... Command's a pain in the tail, especially with this pack of hyenas, you can keep it.

Optimus Primal

I'm more concerned with this probe right now.

Cheetor

What the spotted heck was that all about?!

Optimus Primal

I don't know. I suppose they found out everything they needed to know about us.

Rhinox

Yeah. They know we've got destructive capability. And reasoning power.

Dinobot

But why would they want to know? And more importantly, who are they? Friends, enemies, or... something more?

Optimus Primal

Good question. I wonder when we'll find out the answer.

Rattrap

You do know that was crazy.

Optimus Primal

Sometimes crazy works. By the way, you did good up there.

Rattrap

Heh, you weren't so bad yourself. But... err... don't tell anybody I said so!

Rhinox

[At a console] Incoming stasis pod! Its orbit has decayed into the Northern sector!

Optimus Primal

Heads up, bots; get ready to move!

Rhinox

Impact in 5 seconds... 4... 3... 2... 1...

[At a console] IMPACT! It landed in Sector 6175885, a hundred clicks due north! Shall we go?

Megatron

No... not yet...
