Transformers: Cybertron · Season 1
"I can't believe this, Jetfire. I can't believe we're abandoning Cybertron."
"You can't think like that, Hot Shot. We'll come back and beat this thing."
"But how? Hey, now what's it doing? Look out!"
"Target practice!"
—Opening dialog of the first episode of the series. Apparently, showing things blowing up is more important than conveying what the hell is happening.
"Lori, Lori. When life gives you lemons... Make orange soda!"
"Orange... soda?"
—Bud hilariously mangles a classic phrase.
(After his airstrike misses Landmine) "Oh, man! That was a waste of perfectly good missiles! I'll get him this time!"
"I hope you don't mind if I butt in!" (rams Thundercracker)
"Where the heck did he come from?!"
—Optimus makes a dramatic entrance
(After appearing in Super Mode, completely unharmed by Thundercracker's missiles) "That was your best shot, Thundercracker? That's just sad." *brings his heavy cannons to firing position* "Here's mine."
"How's this?!" *Angrily fires off another missile volley*
"Gee, nice fireworks." *shoots the missiles, blowing them up in Thundercracker's face and sending him flying* "Decepticon in the corner pocket!"
—Thus begins the practice of Thundercracker channeling the spirit of Waspinator.
"Looks like we got everything."
"What? Are you serious? I just think you could use a more efficient design, that's all."
"So, what's wrong?"
"Are you kidding? There's no workflow, no ventilation, and if you haven't noticed, there aren't even any bathrooms! You gotta work smarter, not harder. That's my dad's first rule of business. Catch my drift? You should organize everything around a central hub, with easy access to all the other work areas."
"Hey, ahh, Hot Shot? How come you use a crystal oscillator?"
"That's, uh, kinda technical..."
"'Cause, I just thought that a phase-locked loop would be, ah, much more stable."
"Hmm. [Pause.] Hey, uh, how would you like to help me set up the transmitter?"
"You got it!"
"You need to shoot out of here at top speed, just like a catapult!"
"A catapult?"
"Humans use them to launch planes off ships."
"All you have to do is step on the platform, and then—blam! You're in the stratosphere!"
"Look kid, I don't know what the heck..."
"No, Jetfire, I think the kid's got the right idea."
"What idea?!"
"The catapult thing! You could reach maximum velocity before you leave the base! Without using extra energon."
"Really? Well, why didn't you say that in the first place?"
"We did!"
—Bud and Hot Shot
"Okay, nobody panic, it's probably just a glitch."
"Huh?!"
"Just let me tie this down here... gimme a second... adjusting frequency..."
"What is that?"
"Hang on! Let me see if I can boost the resolution. They're still pretty far away."
"Oh no."
"Hmm?!"
"Now you can panic!"
—Vector Prime holds grudges
—Scattorshot's faith in his teammate warms the heart, doesn't it?
—Lori and Scattershot, who's a big ol' fibber.
—The friendly neighborhood police officer, after Coby makes his getaway in one of those supercool cars.
—Signal Lancer and Lori discuss the upside of being a traffic light.
—Lori and Coby
