Optimus Prime quotes from Transformers: Animated

Ratchet

Prowl, any sign of the Dinobots?

Prowl

Negative, Ratchet. I'm starting to think those reports of rampages were nothing but exaggeration.

Optimus

We're not taking any chance, Prowl. That's why I had Ratchet lend you his EMP generator and those stasis cuffs.

Prowl

Still, I hardly think they're necessary. The Dinobots are territorial, but if left alone, they're perfectly happy.

Bulkhead

He doesn't look too happy to me!

Well, if it isn't my favorite band of plucky little Autobots.

Optimus

Autobots, prepare for battle!

Wait, you misunderstand. Noble Optimus Prime, wise Ratchet, stealthy Prowl and mighty...eh...

Bulkhead

Bulkhead!

Ooh, that's too bad.

Optimus

You should have called us sooner. If that weapon had gotten into Megatron's hands

Bumblebee

I know. I guess I just wanted to prove that I still had my touch.

Ratchet

Well, I hope you've learned something about team work.

Bumblebee

Oh, yeah. Even the star player needs backup sometimes.

Optimus Prime

We're not here to scare people! We're here to get Meltdown's genetic modifier. Maybe you'd be less conspicuous in robot mode.

Grimlock

Okay... [transforms] But me Grimlock still taller than YOU. That why Spider-Lady like me Grimlock best.

Optimus

Grimlock, as soon as she gets that genetic modifier, she'll drop us like a used engine block.

Grimlock

Autobot bad. Me Grimlock go alone!

Grimlock

Uh...where me Grimlock find genetic thingy?

Optimus

Oh, come on. I know who can get it.

Grimlock

Uh, me Grimlock not supposed to scare puny humans.

Optimus

This one you can scare all you want.

Grimlock

THEN GIVE US THINGY! NOW!!!

: What thingy?! What's he talking about?!

Optimus

Prometheus Black's genetic modifier?

Never heard of it.

Optimus

Did I mention that my partner is awfully hungry?

Y-you can have it! I know where it is!

Bumblebee

Uhh...how long have we been here?

Optimus

Almost two mega-cycles.

Bumblebee

Ha! And you said I couldn't go ten cycles without talking!

Prowl

Mmm-hmm, all it took was being paralyzed.

Bumblebee

What, you're making new rules now? I don't think so! Pay up with that sweet axle grease.

Sari

Thanks for letting me stay here with you guys...again. I just can't be with my fath- or Sumdac. I don't know what I am, but I refuse to be anyone's lab rat.

Optimus Prime

It's possible he found a liquid metal body in his lab. Maybe.

Prowl

Did you say liquid metal body?

I wish I knew more of how you came into being. I just don't know.

Prowl

I may be able to shed some light on this. After reviewing as much data as I could, I believe what you had in your laboratory was a protoform.

What's a protoform?

Optimus Prime

Protoforms are the building blocks of all life on Cybertron.

Prowl

I think some of Professor Sumdac's DNA must have accidentally merged with the protoform. And Sari the result.

Sari

So...I'm like part Cybertronian? Cool! We're like cousins.

Prowl

But is still doesn't explain how a protoform ended up in Sumdac's lab.

Ratchet

What in the name of Cybertron is that!?

Sari

Hey boulder-bot! You wanna mess with my city? You gotta go through me first!

Prowl

Sari?

Bulkhead

But she looks so different.

Optimus Prime

Sari, what are you doing?

Sari

Don't sweat it, Prime! I got this one covered!

Optimus Prime

We have to get that key!

Ratchet

I told you, I'm fine!!

Optimus Prime

I know that, Ratchet. But if the key is what's overloading Sari's circuits, removing that power source could shut her down.

Ratchet

Right. Sorry about that, Prime.

Optimus Prime

Just take care of Bumblebee. We'll do the rest. Transform and roll out!

Optimus Prime

Prowl, now!!

Prowl

Got it.

Ratchet

Prime, what's your status?

Optimus Prime

We got the key, but she's still out of control.

Ratchet

Right now I'm more worried about Bumblebee. I know what I said before, but I need that key.

Optimus Prime

Go! Now! Bulkhead and I will handle Sari.

Bulkhead

Now what?

Optimus Prime

Good question.

Optimus Prime

Ratchet, Sari's about to explode! The only thing that can stop her is your EMP generator! You need to get here stat!

Ratchet

We can't use it on her, Prime! I got no idea how the blast will affect a techno-organism! It could kill her!

Optimus Prime

We don't have a choice, Ratchet. She could take all of Detroit with her.

Prowl

Go. I'll stay with Bumblebee.

Ratchet

Try to keep him quiet.

Prowl

You do realize this is Bumblebee?

Ratchet

Oh, yeah.

Optimus Prime

How is she?

Ratchet

I managed to rewire her system the old fashioned way and bypass the circuits that caused her to go out of control.

Bumblebee

But she's gonna be okay, right?

Ratchet

I've done everything I can. All we can do now is wait.

Optimus Prime

Ratchet, you stay behind with Sari!

Ratchet

But there's nothing more I can do for her now!

Optimus Prime

I know, but I may need you to undo something!

Prowl

You're not actually suggesting we unleash an uncontrollable Sari on Omega Supreme are you?

Optimus Prime

I'm hoping we won't have to.
