Optimus Primal quotes from Beast Wars: Transformers

Cheetor

Rattrap... gone? No way. I don't believe it.

Optimus Primal

He was a difficult Maximal to deal with. At times, impossible. But I'll remember him with honor.

Dinobot

I won't disgrace his memory with lies! He was a stinking, omnivorous pestilence! Still, in some perverse way... I will miss him.

Rhinox

Sure, he smelled bad he was a rat but he was my best friend...

Optimus Primal

Ah, here's a new specimen. Dinobot, come on! You're supposed to be assisting!

Dinobot

[Sarcastically] Of course! Pardon my lack of enthusiasm for a bunch of worthless weeds. You realize that we are targets out here. TARGETS! And still, you stop to smell the roses. Oh, whatever!

Optimus Primal

Nobody...takes it off... Understand? You hear me?! I'LL BLOW YOUR SLAGGING HEADS OFF!

Cheetor

No, Big Bot!

Rhinox

Hold on there!

Optimus Primal

[Struggles] GET OFF OF ME!

Dinobot

Yes... Listen to him.

Optimus Primal

I don't fear you... I DON'T FEAR ANY OF YOU!!!!!!

Rhinox

I thought that thing was supposed to turn him into a coward.

Dinobot

No doubt, that WAS its intention. But Scorponok is notoriously incompetent. I would say instead that we have...a berserker. Interesting...

Rhinox

Whoa... what do you suppose that beam was all about?

Cheetor

Some kind of signal?

Tigatron

A message! We were given a paradise! All we had to do was live there in peace! But we proved unworthy. And the paradise is no more.

Optimus

Yeah, it's an old story. Maybe someday we'll learn.

Rattrap

Yeah well uh, pardon my pragmatism here in this you know, deep philosophical moment, but I'm a little more concerned about who got that message. You gotta know, they ain't gonna be real happy...

Cheetor

What do you think's there gonna do?

Rhinox

That, we're just going to have to wait and see...

Optimus Primal

I have to tell you, Starscream, you're giving space debris a very bad name!

Primal, you begin to IRRITATE ME!

Rhinox

[groans in pain]

Optimus Primal

What's wrong?

Rhinox

Wild bean vines... Hard to digest... [starts turning around while groaning]

Megatron

Do NOT turn your back on me, Maximal scum!

Megatron

Huh?

Rhinox

[groans again and lifts his tail]

Megatron

Oh, no! Not that!

Megatron

Optimus Primal?

Optimus Primal

Megatron? I'd say it's good to see you, but my truth circuits would overload.

Megatron

Enough of your pleasantries, Maximal. I would like to discuss with a matter of great importance.

Optimus Primal

So? Discuss.

Megatron

Not like this. In person, I say. Yes... I wish to discuss a truce.

Optimus Primal

All right, Megatron. You called the meeting. What's this slag about a truce?

Megatron

Absolutely true, I assure you. Yes.

Optimus Primal

When Predacons talk "truce" it just means they need time to reload their weapons.

Megatron

Under normal circumstances, yes, but not now. Things have arisen. Things which require my undivided attention. To be blunt, Optimus Primal, I have no time to waste on Maximals. Thus, I wish a truce. And you will agree.

Optimus Primal

Do you take me for a fool?

Megatron

No. I take you for a Maximal.

Airazor

Whoa. Sounds like we got back just in time.

Optimus Primal

So, Tigatron. Now that the fun's over, how about filling us in?

Tigatron

Megatron has found a strange golden disk of alien manufacture. It was activated recently. That was the energy anomaly I noticed.

Optimus Primal

Another golden disk. Coincidence?

Rhinox

Maybe.

Tigatron

It has moving symbols on it. Megatron has translated them.

Cheetor

Cool! What's it say?

Tigatron

It was designed to be a beacon. The aliens... the ones who seeded this planet with Energon; the ones who created that flying island that almost destroyed us...

Optimus Primal

Yes? What are you saying? What have you discovered?

Tigatron

They're coming. [Airazor and Rattrap gasps, Dinobot growls] They're on their way here. And I don't think they're very happy.

Optimus Primal

Well, that's just prime.

Scan complete. This is the specimen we've analyzed before.

Optimus Primal

Who... are you? [a glowing image of Unicron's face appears] Unicron!

We have no physical form you could comprehend. We chose this figure of authority from your data tracks.

Optimus Primal

If you've scanned me, you know that we did not come to this planet by choice!

Yet you are here.

Optimus Primal

We mean no harm. To you, or this planet.

It is too late. You and your enemies have already contaminated the project. The harm has been done. That which does not become part of the one, shall become void.

Optimus Primal

No, wait! We can fix whatever damage was done.

We are not interested. The experiment will be sterilized.

Optimus Primal

You can't do that! There are living creatures here! You, with all your power... even you have no right!

We have no choice. There is more danger than you know. Begin termination sequence.

Optimus Primal

NO!

Airazor

[Zooms in with her eyes] Cheetor and Tigatron are coming!

Rattrap

Oh, terrific! Now we can reduce the hot burning slag together.

Shut up, Rattrap!

Megatron

Oh, you Optimuses do love to sacrifice yourselves, don't you? Well, fortunately, this time your foolishness will destroy you and your Maximals. The Beast Wars are over, Optimus. You lose. Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Optimus Primal

No...! NO...! MEGATROOOOOON...!!!

5.... 4.... 3.... 2.... 1. [Optimus crashes into alien in space and explode]

Dinobot

At least we go with honor.

Megatron

[Threatens Dinobot to shoot him] Finish it.

Optimus Primal

[The smoke cleared and returns] Well that's just prime.

Cheetor

Big Bot?!

Rhinox

Yes! It worked!

Megatron

Primal! Destroy him! [ All the Predicons shooting Optimus Primal and Optimus defends himself with his shield]

Optimus Primal

My turn. [Initiates his weapons to shoot Megatron and Predicons away]

Rattrap

All right!

Cheetor

Go, Big Bot!

Megatron

Flight is no longer your advantage, Optimus.

Megatron

Hello and Goodbye, Transmetal Optimus Primal... [screams]

Silverbolt

Consider that my resignation from the Predacons, Megatron! I know now my place is with the Maximals. May I join you?

Optimus Primal

Well, I like your resumé.

Optimus

Any progress, Rhinox?

Rhinox

Despite my tests, we still don't know what limits these new Transmetal states may have. Perhaps this new bio-gen scan will— [Bio-gen scan shocks Rhinox to send him flying and Optimus screams in minor pain]

Rhinox

Or perhaps not. [Falls over]
