We don't have to do this, Megatron! There has been peace between the Maximals and Predacons for centuries! Why start this up again?
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!
[Repairing his gun] Finally...
We Predacons have never abandoned our rightful goal of galactic conquest! No... we have merely been waiting for the right moment... to STRIKE!
You mean like THIS!? [Fires at 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!
Scorponok
Scorponok, TERRORIZE!
Optimus Primal: MAXIMIZE!
[The Predacons observe the battle between Optimus Primal and Dinobot]
Well, this is an interesting sight, yes... Optimus and the traitor Dinobot engaged in battle!
Scorponok
Who do you think's gonna win?
Ooooooh, Waspinator bet on Optimus!
[snickers] The winner isn't what interests me.
Nor me, noooo. How much more... preferable it would be if they both lost, yeeessss.
[An energon charged Terrrosaur has just decimated Megatron]
Megatron is scrap, yeesssss. I'm your leader now! Does anyone want to argue about it?!
Scorponok
No!
[Hesitates for a moment] No, no, no, no!
Good, then charge yourselves for battle. The Maximals will be the next to TASTE MY POWER!
[The Predacons have faked their deaths to trick the Maximals and are hiding in a crevice. Tarantulas eats a mouse, drool slips off his fangs onto Terrorsaur]
Stop slobbering on me, Tarantulas!
[Pushing against Tarantulas] Give Waspinator more room! Tarantulas fat enough already!
If Waspinator does not stop cuddling me like a stuffed toy when he sleeps, I'll eat him as well!
[Waspinator and Tarantulas continue a loud and indecipherable argument]
YOU ALL MAKE ME SICK! I can't stand this any longer, Megatron! I... I'VE GOTTA GET OUT!
[Terrosaur begins to hop and laugh manically, until Scorponok whacks him aside]
Scorponok
We wouldn't be here if you didn't trip over that spy cable.
You are correct, Scorponok. But thanks to Terrosaur's no longer inadvertent discovery of our enemy spy camera, we were able to pull this little... deception. Yes...
But what if they detect us? Don't forget, my signature dampening device is only experimental.
We only have to wait until they repair their ship, and then attack while their guard is down. With the Maximal ship in our possession, we will be able to recover the orbiting stasis pods containing Maximals "eager"... [evilly chuckle] to become Predacons. [Stomps over to Terrorsaur] SO NO ONE LEAVES!
Leaving? [Nervously chuckles] Who said anything about leaving?
So! The Energon Discharge Virus actually worked. No more slags.
Take it from me... [shows his tail, blasted earlier by Rhinox's sneeze] I've got the toasted tail to prove it.
Excellent, yeessss. [Megatron orders the Predacons] Prepare more viruses immediately! We must infect the rest of the Maximals.
Scorponok
I... there is a problem, Megatron. Tarantulas has not yet returned.
And he's always encoding his data tracks! I can't access them.
Then find him! Start with his lab! Search everywhere! I... WANT... THAT... VIRUS!
Brilliant! They're causing a chain reaction which will rip this planet to atoms and destroy all traces of them - simply to deal with us! What sheer ruthlessness. What disregard for sentient life!... I rather like these aliens.
Like them?! They're trying to destroy us!
Waspinator not want to be destroyed! Waspinator has plans!
Scorponok
Megatron will save us!
I think not. I've reserved that task for Tarantulas.
