The Transformers: The Movie Quotes

[before their final battle]

Megatron: [surprised] Prime!

Optimus Prime: One shall stand, one shall fall.

Megatron: Why throw away your life so recklessly?

Optimus Prime: That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron.

[pointing a gun at Optimus Prime's head]

Megatron: I would have waited an eternity for this. It's over, Prime.

Kup: Don't act hostile, I'll use the universal greeting.

Hot Rod: Universal greeting?

Kup: Watch, I'll have them eating out of my hands. Bah weep gragnah weep nini bong!

Hot Rod: Bah weep gragnah weep nini bong?

Allicon: Bah weep gragnah weep nini bong!

Kup: See, the universal greeting works every time.

Unicron: I have summoned you here for a purpose.

Megatron: Nobody summons Megatron.

Unicron: Then it pleases me to be the first.

Megatron: State your business.

Unicron: This is my command: you are to destroy the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. It is the one thing... the *only* thing... that can stand in my way.

Megatron: You have nothing to fear. I have already crushed Optimus Prime with my bare hands!

Unicron: You exaggerate.

Megatron: The point is he's dead! And the Matrix died with him!

Springer: [about the Junkions] It's not hard to knock 'em down, it's getting them to stay down that's the trick!

Arcee: They're indestructible!

Daniel: And they're everywhere!

[Unicron is self-destructing, Spike and Daniel find the remaining Autobots]

Springer: Spike! Daniel!

Spike: Springer, what's going on!

Springer: No time for that now! Let's get out of here!

[the Autobots start to escape Unicron's hull]

Daniel: Look!

[sees Hot Rod, now Rodimus Prime, running from the depths of Unicron]

Rodimus Prime: Autobots, transform and roll out!

[Spike and Daniel climb into transformed Rodimus Prime]

Kup: I always knew you had potential, lad.

[the Autobots escape out Unicron's eye as he self-destructs]

Wheelie: Friend find, look behind!

Grimlock: Who say that?

[looks away from Wheelie]

Wheelie: Friend find, look behind! You go wrong way, you fool I say.

Grimlock: [seeing Wheelie] Me Grimlock fool?

Wheelie: Get me you got, no fool you not.

[laughs]

Grimlock: Me Grimlock no like you.

[attacks Wheelie]

[the Decepticons ambush the Autobots on board the shuttle]

Brawn: Megatron? Decepticons!

Megatron: Die, Autobots!

[the Decepticons kill the Autobots on board the shuttle except Ironhide]

Megatron: This was almost too easy, Starscream!

Starscream: Much easier, almighty Megatron, than attacking the real threat; the Autobots' moonbase!

Megatron: You're an idiot, Starscream. When we slip by their early warning systems in their own shuttle and destroy Autobot City, the Autobots will be vanquished forever.

Ironhide: No!

Megatron: Such heroic nonsense!

[blasts off Ironhide's head, killing him]

Shockwave: Laserbeak returns, Megatron.

Megatron: Welcome, Laserbeak! Unlike some of my other warriors, you never fail me. Soundwave, play back Laserbeak's findings.

Soundwave: As you command, Megatron.

Optimus Prime: [on the playback] I want you to make a special run to Autobot City on Earth.

Ironhide: But, Prime...

Optimus Prime: Listen, Ironhide. We don't have enough energon cubes to power a full-scale assault. Ready the shuttle for launch! Now all we need is a little energon and a lot of luck.

Megatron: More than you imagine, Optimus Prime.

Galvatron: I, Galvatron, will crush you just as Megatron crushed Prime!

Ultra Magnus: Then you'll die trying just like Megatron!

[Ultra Magnus fires his laser and hits Galvatron]

Galvatron: Argh! Autobot scrap!

Cyclonus: You want me to gut Ultra Magnus?

Galvatron: There are plenty of Autobots for you. Ultra Magnus is mine!

Starscream: Who disrupts my coronation?

Galvatron: Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy.

Starscream: Megatron? Is that you?

Galvatron: Here's a hint!

[Galvatron transforms and shoots Starscream. Starscream crackles and falls to dust]

Galvatron: [crushing Starscream's fallen crown under his foot] Will anyone else attempt to fill his shoes?

Rumble: What did he say his name was?

Galvatron: Galvatron!

Uninjured Decepticons: Long live Galvatron! Galvatron!

[Megatron has been gravely injured in his fight with Optimus Prime]

Starscream: How do you feel, mighty Megatron?

[Starscream kicks Megatron]

Starscream: Astrotrain, transform and get us out of here!

Megatron: [in a very weak voice] Don't leave me, Soundwave.

Soundwave: As you command, Megatron.

[Astrotrain transforms into his train mode]

Starscream: [the last Decepticons load into Astrotrain] Astrotrain, take off!

Ultra Magnus: Blurr, get the Dinobots in the shuttle!

Blurr: [speaking quickly] I'm trying to get them in the shuttle, Ultra Magnus. 'Cause I know we can't launch the shuttle until I get them into the shuttle. But I can't seem to get them into the shuttle 'cause they're impossible, impossible, impossible!

Ultra Magnus: Okay, forget it! Kup, Hot Rod, you guys get the Dinobots aboard and get out of here.

Hot Rod: [lassoing Grimlock's neck] Come on, you big bozo, get in the shuttle!

[Daniel views the shuttle from a viewscope]

Daniel: Hot Rod, look, there's a hole in the shuttle!

Hot Rod: [shocked] What?

[Hot Rod zoom in his eyes on the shuttle]

Hot Rod: Decepticons!

[Kup sees Hot Rod shooting at the shuttle]

Kup: What's that darn fool doing?

Arcee: The Decepticons are retreating!

Kup: Prime did it! He turned the tide!

Hot Rod: Heh, not bad for an old timer.

Kup: Old Timer? That's something you'll never be, if you don't get back to the city.

Hot Rod: [shouts] Save it, Kup!

[Blitzwing comes screaming over head very closely while shooting at the two]

Hot Rod: Let's *burn rubber*!

[Both Hot Rod and Kup transform]

[Starcream chases after Arcee and Springer who are closing themselves inside Autobot City]

Starscream: Pathetic fools! There's no escape!

[BOOM; Starscream struggles to free his trapped foot. He decides to blast his foot free before being crushed]

Starscream: Oooh! My foot!

Perceptor: I fear the wounds are... fatal.

Daniel: [long pause] Prime, you can't die.

Optimus Prime: Do not grieve. Soon I shall be one with the Matrix.

Hot Rod: Prime.

Optimus Prime: Ultra Magnus, it is to you, old friend, I shall pass the Matrix of Leadership as it was passed to me.

Ultra Magnus: But Prime, I'm... I'm just a soldier. I... I'm not worthy.

Optimus Prime: Nor was I. But one day, an Autobot shall rise from our ranks, and use the power of the Matrix to light our darkest hour.

[Optimus Prime opens his chest to reveal the Matrix. Removes it and begins to hand it over to Ultra Magnus]

Optimus Prime: Until that day, till all are one.

[the Matrix starts to fall to the ground. Hot Rod catches it, gives it to Ultra Magnus. Ultra Magnus inserts it inside. Optimus Prime dies]

[Optimus Prime has thrown Megatron to the ground]

Kup: Finish him off, Prime! Do it now!

[Optimus Prime picks up his laser rifle and takes aim]

Megatron: [feigning defeat as he reaches for a laser gun] No more, Optimus Prime! Grant me mercy, I beg of you!

Optimus Prime: You, who are without mercy, now plead for it? I thought you were made of sterner stuff!

Blaster: Hey, Perceptor, what's shaking? Other than this fortress?

Perceptor: Blaster, Ultra Magnus sent orders to contact Optimus Prime on Moon Base One!

Blaster: All right! Cover your receptors, Perceptor!

[He transforms into a ghetto blaster and broadcasts the message]

Blaster: Optimus Prime, do you read me? The Decepticons are blitzing Autobot City, we're really taking a pounding. Don't know how much longer we can hold out.

[the Decepticons attempt to find out who is most worthy to take over Decepticon leadership]

Scrapper: Wait, the Constructicons form Devastator, the most powerful robot. We should rule!

Soundwave: Soundwave superior. Constructicons inferior.

Bonecrusher: Who are you calling inferior?

Hook: Nobody would follow an uncharismatic bore like you!

[Soundwave ejects his cassette minions]

Rumble: Hey, nobody calls Soundwave uncrassimatic!

Frenzy: Yeah, let's kick tailgate!

[said with smirk on his face]

Starscream: Oh, how it pains me to do this!

Megatron: Wait! I still function!

Starscream: Wanna bet?

[Starscream lets Megatron's body drift from the open shuttle door into space]

Megatron: Starscream!... argh!...

[Megatron's crumbled body disappears into space]

Wreck-Gar: Have a nice day and please, close cover before striking, friends! Breep drit, aw rootie! So say the Junkions!

Hot Rod: Where did you learn to talk like that?

Wreck-Gar: T.V. We talk T.V. You talk some T.V.?

Kup: I talk some T.V. And now the news, don't touch that dial.

Hot Rod: I never thought I'd be so happy to see those big bozos.

Grimlock: Me Grimlock no bozo. Me king!

Quintesson Judge: Sharkticons, execute them!

[Grimlock stomps his foot]

Grimlock: Me Grimlock say, execute *them*!

[the Sharkticons think about it for a second then attack the Quintessons]

Kup: I think the problems on this planet will be solved very shortly.

Hot Rod: Yeah, but what about our problems? We need a ship.

Kup: Reminds me of the Nitith slave mines on Galganas 7.

Hot Rod: Every place reminds you of some place else.

Kup: Experience, lad. You should learn to appreciate it.

Hot Rod: A lot of good it's done us so far.

Jazz: Roger me. Wilco me. Anything. Hello. Hello. Earth?

Blaster: I'm pickin' up a faint signal!

[He transforms into a ghetto blaster and monitors the message]

Jazz: This is Jazz. A ginormous weird lookin' planet just showed up in the suburbs of Cybertron.

Cliffjumper: And it's attacking Moon Base One...

[static obscures the message]

Ultra Magnus: Jazz! Cliffjumper!

Quintesson: Would you like to beg for your lives? It sometimes helps... but not often.

Kup: I can't transform.

Hot Rod: Keep trying.

Quintesson: Silence or you'll be held in contempt of this court.

Hot Rod: I have nothing but contempt for this court.

Hot Rod: They're closing on us.

Kup: Yep, like the Shrikebats of Dromedon.

Hot Rod: How'd you beat them?

Kup: I'm trying to remember. There were an awful lot of casualties that day. Oh, yeah. We inverted polarities!

Quintesson: Guilty or innocent?

Quintesson Judge: Innocent.

Quintesson: Feed them to the Sharkticons.

Galvatron: Unicron! Unicron! Answer me! See this, the Matrix. I now possess that which you most fear.

[Unicron unleashes a booming roar]

Galvatron: You'll do my bidding or taste my wrath!

Unicron: [Galvatron struggling to open the Matrix] You underestimate me, Galvatron.

[the planet Unicron begins to transform in front of a shocked Galvatron as he stumbles and falls on Unicron. Unicron transforms into his robot form]

Unicron: For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet, Cybertron. But now, you shall witness... its DISMEMBERMENT!

[Unicron flies towards Cybertron]

Galvatron: NOOO!

Perceptor: Ultra Magnus, a cursory evaluation of Decepticon capability indicates a distinct tactical deficiency!

Ultra Magnus: In other words, Perceptor...?

Springer: We're outnumbered!

Megatron: Why should I, what's in it for me?

Unicron: Your bargaining posture is highly dubious. But very well. I will provide you with a new body, and new troops to command.

Megatron: And?

Unicron: And nothing! You belong to me... now.

Megatron: I belong to nobody!

Unicron: Perhaps, I misjudged you. Proceed... on your way to oblivion.

[Unicron begins to dissolve Megatron]

Megatron: No, no. I accept your terms! I accept!

Unicron: Excellent!

Swoop: Me Swoop no see nothing.

Grimlock: Me Grimlock positive Hot Rod and Kup close.

Slag: Me Slag say you full of beryllium baloney!

Grimlock: Me Grimlock say you full of cesium salami.

Slag: Beryllium baloney!

Kup: The Insecticons are in our way.

Hot Rod: Wrong. They're our way in! Hyah!

Optimus Prime: Arise, Rodimus Prime.

Rodimus Prime: Optimus...

Springer: [sees Unicron attacking Cybertron] I don't believe it.

Hot Rod: Doesn't this remind you of anything, Kup?

Kup: Nope, I've never seen anything like this before.

Unicron: [after giving Megatron a new body] Behold, Galvatron! And these shall be your minions.

[giving Thundercracker, Shrapnel and Kickback new bodies]

Unicron: Scourge, the tracker. And his huntsmen, the Sweeps.

[giving Skywarp and Bombshell new bodies]

Unicron: Cyclonus, the warrior. And his armada.

Optimus Prime: Ironhide, report to me at once.

Ironhide: Every time I look into a monitor Prime, my circuits sizzle. When are we going to start busting Deceptichops?

Optimus Prime: I want you to make a special run to Autobot City on Earth.

Ironhide: But, Prime!

Optimus Prime: Listen, Ironhide. We don't have enough energon cubes to power a full-scale assault. Ready the shuttle for launch!

Arcee: Did we have to let them detonate three-quarters of the ship?

Springer: Seeing as how they would have detonated four-quarters, I think it was a good choice.

Arcee: But then how are we gonna get there in this wreck?

Ultra Magnus: Perceptor, can you locate a place to set down for repairs?

Perceptor: Gamma waves in this sector of space create marginal navigation probabilities, however...

[Ultra Magnus and Springer look impatient]

Perceptor: Ahem, yes I believe I can. The planet of Junk is in this vicinity.

Arcee: I was afraid you'd be trapped outside the city.

Hot Rod: Hey, I wasn't worried for a microsecond.

Arcee: Then you probably didn't understand the situation.

Arcee: Stay close to me, Daniel.

Hot Rod: And you'd better stay close to me.

Arcee: No you'd better stay close to me.

Kup: Of all the circuit glitched, diode blown dimwittery. You left a piece out.

Hot Rod: No way. You're just a little stiff.

Kup: Anyway all things considered you did an amazing job lad. Amazing.

Hot Rod: Really?

Kup: Yeah. You even got rid of a nasty burr in my rotator. Now let's find the Dinobots and get off of this twisted planet.

Megatron: Breach their defenses!

Kickback: Delicious, eh Shrapnel?

Shrapnel: A little heavy on the electrons, electrons...

Jazz: [sees Unicron] Where'd that come from?

Cliffjumper: Who cares? I'm more worried about where it's going.

Ultra Magnus: You're all alive!

Hot Rod: The Matrix?

Ultra Magnus: It's gone...

Kup: And with it all hope.

Hot Rod: No!

Arcee: Galvatron has it.

Hot Rod: Where's Galvatron? Where is he?

Wreck-Gar: And the answer is... Unicron!

Hot Rod: The Matrix.

Galvatron: It will do you no good Autobot. It cannot be opened.

Hot Rod: Not by a Decepticon.

Galvatron: Like it or not, we are allies now against a common foe.

[shrill noises and bright lights surround Galvatron]

Unicron: Destroy him, Galvatron *now* or you, yourself shall be obliterated.

Galvatron: Of course, my master.

Galvatron: Puny Autobot. You lack even Prime's courage. Come out Autobot. We all must die sometime.

Hot Rod: Not today, Galvatron!

[Hot Rod tackles Galvatron. Galvatron then puts his hands around Hot Rod's throat and begins choking him]

Galvatron: Die, Autobot. First Prime, then Ultra Magnus, and now you. It's a pity you Autobots die so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now.

Hot Rod: We've got to get a new travel agent. What is this place?

Kranix: The world of the savage Sharkticons and their cruel masters the Quintessons. I am Kranix. My planet was destroyed by Unicron.

Hot Rod: Unicron? Who's Unicron?

Kranix: A planet that devours everything in its path.

Kup: So that's the monster's name.

Ultra Magnus: Springer, you and Arcee transform Autobot City. Perceptor, tell Blaster to radio Prime for reinforcements.

Blurr: [speaking very fast] What about me, Magnus? What about me? Hmm? Huh? Hmm? Huh? Hmm? Huh? I can help. I wanna help. What about me?

Ultra Magnus: Blurr, you can help me alert the others.

Blurr: [speaking very fast] Absolutely, positively, definitely. Nobody can get the job done faster than I can. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody.

Springer: Come on, Arcee, let's go.

Arcee: But Hot Rod and Kup are still outside the city.

Springer: We can't wait. They'll have to take care of themselves. Come on!

Springer: Ignition and...

Daniel: Wait, Ultra Magnus. Arcee is still out there.

Springer: [to Arcee] JUMP!

[Arcee jumps and grabs onto the shuttle's hatch]

Arcee: [Springer pulls her in] Thanks.

Daniel: That was close.

Springer: Believe it or not, that was the fun part.

Rodimus Prime: Let this mark the end of the Cybertronian wars as we march forward to a new age of peace and happiness... Till all are one!

Springer, Arcee, Kup: Till all are one!

Galvatron: How dare, Unicron! Cybertron and all its moons belong to me!

Scourge: But remember we belong to him.

Galvatron: I belong to nobody.

[Unicron tortures him]

Galvatron: I will obey, Unicron. Decepticons, to Earth!

Wheelie: Wheelie say, find friends today!

Grimlock: Me Grimlock say, we on our way!

Spike: This is Spike and Bumblebee up here on Moon Base Two.

Bumblebee: This thing, this monster planet, just ripped the first moon to shreds.

Spike: And it's heading this way.

Bumblebee: We'll try and slow it down.

Spike: But you'd better get here fast because we're not gonna...

[static obscures the messaage]

Daniel: Dad!

Optimus Prime: Dinobots, destroy Devastator!

Grimlock: Me Grimlock love challenge!

Kup: Grimlock, get your noodle outta my face!

Grimlock: Me Grimlock love Kup's war stories.

Kup: You're living one, now.

[to Hot Rod]

Kup: Engage the boosters for Cybertron's sake!

Grimlock: Tell Grimlock about petro-rabbits again.

Kup: I'll give you petro-rabbits.

[Galvatron triumphantly holds the Matrix in his hand]

Galvatron: Unicron, my master... with this, I shall make you my slave.

Springer: Kup and Hot Rod just bought it.

Ultra Magnus: I can't deal with that right now.

Springer: Face it, Magnus. The Decepticons are going to dog us until they see us dead.

Ultra Magnus: Then that's exactly what they're going to see. Prepare for emergency seperation.

Perceptor: That's too dangerous.

Ultra Magnus: What choice do we have?

[after landing on the planet of Junk and encountering the Junkions]

Hot Rod: [prevents Kup] Guns aren't exactly friendly!

Kup: Neither are they in case you haven't noticed!

[as Optimus Prime battles Megatron]

Hot Rod: I've got to help Prime!

Kup: Stay away, lad! That's Prime's fight.

Springer: Looks like you're bunking with me, Daniel!

Daniel: [surprised] All right!

Springer: But if you get space sick, you're gonna walk home.

[first lines]

Kranix: Arblus, look! It's Unicron!

Kup: Yep, I remember the dust was so thick on Beta 4, you had to use windshield wipers on your optic sensors.

Grimlock: Me Grimlock know all about wipers! Want to hear good part of story!

Swoop: Good part, Kup! Tell Swoop good part!

Kup: Okay, okay. Well, the dust was really thick, and this gigantic icthyac came tromping down the mountain, flames spewing out of its nostrils, and I thought for sure...

Hot Rod: Hey, Kup, don't you think we have better things to do now than tell old stories?

Kup: Like what?

Hot Rod: Like maybe figure out how we're gonna rescue our friends and then save Cybertron.

Grimlock: No! Tell story!

Megatron: Soundwave, jam that transmission!

Soundwave: Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Ratbat, eject. Operation: interference.

Wreck-Gar: [about the Junkion ship] Framed in enamel! Resists fire, rain and corrosion for up to five years. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Junkions: Or your money back!

Bumblebee: Look!

Spike: It isn't even dented!

[Referring to Unicron]

Spike: Awh, SHIT, what are we gonna do now?
