Hot Shot, Thrust and others in “Dash”

This is a message to the great Galvatron, general of the Decepticon army. The Autobots and Decepticons have fought against one another... for a long time. But there is another enemy that we both must be concerned about. The Mini-Cons have shown us that we all share a common foe: the one called Unicron.

Ah, not more of that Unicron nonsense!

[to Thrust] I'm growing tired of listening to your drivel. [to Hot Shot] You may go ahead and finish what you were saying. Now you won't be interrupted again. So just who is this Unicron?

He's the one who's responsible for creating the black hole. Somehow the Mini-Cons learned about the existence of Unicron, and began to prepare for an attack a long time ago.
