Quotes 

• Ironhide : Why are we fighting to save the humans? They're a primitive and violent race.

  Optimus Prime : Were we so different? They're a young species. They have much to learn. But I've seen goodness in them. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. You all know there's only one way to end this war: we must destroy the Cube. If all else fails, I will unite it with the spark in my chest.

  Ratchet : That's suicide! The Cube is raw power, it could destroy you both!

  Optimus Prime : A necessary sacrifice to bring peace to this planet. We cannot let the humans pay for our mistakes. It's been an honor serving with you all.

• Mikaela : Why are you here?

  Optimus Prime : We are here looking for the All Spark. And we must find it before Megatron.

  Sam Witwicky : Mega-what?

  [Prime projects a holographic view of Cybertron] 

  Optimus Prime : Our planet was once a powerful empire, peaceful and just, until we were betrayed by Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. All who defied them were destroyed. Our war finally consumed the planet, and the All Spark was lost to the stars. Megatron followed it to Earth, where Captain Witwicky found him...

  Sam Witwicky : My grandfather.

  Optimus Prime : It was an accident that intertwined our fates.

  [Captain Witwicky discovers Megatron in the ice] 

  Optimus Prime : Megatron crash-landed before he could retrieve the Cube.

  [the Captain fiddles with Megatron's gears, causing a bright light to strike him...] 

  Optimus Prime : He accidentally activated his navigation system. The coordinates to the Cube's location on Earth were imprinted on his glasses.

  Sam Witwicky : How did you know about his glasses?

  Optimus Prime : eBay.

  Sam Witwicky : eBay...

  Ratchet : If the Decepticons find the All Spark, they will use its power to transform Earth's machines and build a new army.

  Optimus Prime : And the human race will be extinguished. Sam Witwicky, you hold the key to Earth's survival.

  Mikaela : Please tell me that you have those glasses?

• [Ratchet runs into power lines, shocking him and causing a tremor throughout the neighborhood] 

  Ron Witwicky : [crawling under a table]  Earthquake! Earthquake! Judy, get under the table!

  Judy Witwicky : How did you get over there so fast?

  [Outside, a dazed Ratchet staggers to his feet] 

  Ratchet : Wow... that was tingly! You gotta try that!

  Ironhide : [sarcastic]  Yeah, that looks fun...

• Optimus Prime : Are you Samuel James Witwicky, descendent of Archibald Witwicky?

  Mikaela : They know your name!

  Sam Witwicky : Yeah.

  Optimus Prime : My name is Optimus Prime. We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the planet Cybertron.

  Ratchet : But you can call us "Autobots", for short.

• Optimus Prime : Our medical officer: Ratchet.

  Ratchet : [sniffing]  The boy's pheromone levels suggest he wants to mate with the female.

  [Sam and Mikeala fidget embarassedly] 

• Ironhide : [drawing his guns]  The parents are very irritating...

  Ratchet : [trying to calm him]  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

  Ironhide : Can I take them out?

  Optimus Prime : Ironhide, you know we don't harm humans! What is with you?

  Ironhide : Well, I'm just saying we could. It's an option.

• Ratchet : I sense the Decepticons are getting ready to mobilize...

• [Ron Witwicky walks towards a window] 

  Optimus Prime : Quick, hide!

  Ratchet : Hide? Where?

  [the Autobots manage to get out of sight just as Ron looks outside] 

  Ron Witwicky : Oh, no... look at the yard! The yard is destroyed! There's sparks flying all over the place... Judy, you better call the City, looks like they got a blown transformer! What a waste... Trashed! Gone!

  [appalled, he moves away]
