Optimus Primal quotes from Beast Wars: Transformers

Optimus Primal

This time, You lose, Megatron!

Megatron

AH...! NO...!

Cheetor

There's... there's gotta be something we can do?

Rhinox

He's too far gone. Even for stasis lock.

Optimus Primal

Well fought, my friend. You saved the valley. You saved the lives of those who live here, and of those who are still to come.

Dinobot

Then... there is nothing to regret.

Rattrap

Like I said, you're just a blasted, slag-spoutin' saurian, but... it's nice to know where you stand.

Dinobot

Upwind of you for preference, vermin. [Rattrap smiles] Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest... is silence.

Optimus Primal

He lived a warrior... and died a hero. Let his spark join the Matrix, the greatest of Cybertron.

Cheetor

What do you think it is, Bigbot?

Optimus Primal

Not what... who. After the Great War, a few Decepticons were granted amnesty. Most have retired. But rumour has it that one was reprogrammed and rebuilt... as a Predacon!

You will pardon my shooting the weapons from your hands. I only wished to avoid any regrettable accidents to my person.

Rattrap

Yeah? Well next time, try the front door!

Optimus Primal

[Stops Rattrap] Rattrap, please.

Rattrap

"Please?" Oh, for bootin' up code! The only thing worse than a stinkin' Pred, it is a stinkin' Decepticon!

Optimus Primal

Shut up, Rattrap. [Shoves Rattrap] Forgive us. We've been fighting Megatron a long time.

Megatron

And now, Optimus Prime, in memory of the Decepticons, for the glory of the Predacons, for the Cybertron that is rightfully ours, and mine to rule...

Optimus Primal

[as Rhinox tries to force the Ark's doors open] Come on! COME ON!

Megatron

... I unleash the storm of vengeance! Farewell! [fires at Prime's head, unleashing a powerful storm of energy that spreads across the planet and into surrounding space. The Maximals are engulfed and scream in pain]

TIME... ITSELF... IS ALL... BEING DESTROYED!

Megatron

[laughs evilly] Say goodbye to the universe, Maximals! The future has changed, yes! The Autobots lose! Evil triumphs! And you, YOU, NO LONGER EXIST!

Inferno

I will protect you, royalty.

Megatron

No, Inferno! not this time. This is not the end of it, Optimal Optimus... No. The universe cowered once at the name of Megatron, and it shall do so again!

Optimus Primal

Freedom is the right of ALL sentient beings, Megatron!

Megatron

Then they'd better stay out of my way!

Rattrap

Oh, for bootin' up cold, will you just shoot him already?

Optimus Primal

I'm trying not to resort to that.

Optimus Primal

NO!

Optimus Primal

X is not alone. He's a Predacon now under Megatron's control. There are six of them.

I gotta hand it to ya, Primal, when you screw up, you do it big time. But thanks for the tip.

I knew saving your hide was a mistake.

Optimus Primal

Rattrap?

Rattrap

Oh, well, yeah, technically, he did KINDA do that... um... eh... thanks.

Rattrap

Rattrap to Optimus… hate to interrupt your picnic, but we got big Pred problems!

Optimus Primal

Just hang on, Rattrap. You and Rhinox are our last hope. Defend the— defend the— [sings] There he is, my little guy...! There he is; my little guy. Isn’t he cute?

Rattrap

That’s not what I wanted to hear.

Optimus Primal

What happened to Cheetor?

[Gives Primal Cheetor's breastplate] Kid was tough. He went out fighting.

Optimus Primal

You listen, hardhead. Cheetor's gone, and I think you know something! So you will talk, or I will rip out your core processor and extract the information personally!

Well, since you asked so nicely. Your little kitty-cat pulled some kind of alien gizmo off of Megatron's organic transmetal unit.

Optimus Primal

Did he succeed?

Yeah, but the device was already activated.

Optimus Primal

He was caught in the overload.

I already destroyed the gizmo. I'm sorry. I didn't know that was what he'd become.

Optimus Primal

Yes! You did it! [lifts Cheetor up]

Cheetor

Optimus! Back off, okay? You're embarrassing me! [Optimus puts him down; he turns towards Silverbolt and Rattrap] You looking at something?

Rattrap

Oh, joy... cyber-puberty.

Tarantulas

The traitor is done for. BACK TO BASE! [Evilly laughs away]

Optimus Primal

[Flies in and transforms and Cheetor and Rattrap keeps shooting] Hold your fire! They're withdrawing.

Rattrap

Woo-hoo! Hey did we whip their tails or what?

Cheetor

Tell me about it! [Rattrap and Cheetor gives each other a high five]

Optimus Primal

No, something is wrong. [Rhinox opens the door] Rhinox? [Rhinox disappointingly shaking his head]

Silverbolt

Worry not, my love. It's just a...scratch

Optimus Primal

Maybe. But I think you're due some time in the CR chamber.

Silverbolt

Sir, I'm fine. I—

Blackarachnia

Shut up and obey your commander, bone-brain.

Silverbolt

Yes, dear.

Megatron

Oh, well, come on. Let's have it. The usual "destiny and honor" speech.

Optimus Primal

Speech this! [Punches Megatron in the face]
