Quotes 

• Rattrap : Slag Heap City, I'm going to die. I'm falling, pitiful and helpless.

• [under aerial attack] 

  Optimus Primal : Can't maneuver with a passenger!

  Rattrap : Well, excuse me! I'M the one hanging on with his pink little fingers! I can't even transform like this!

• [Optimus Primal and Rattrap fly towards the island] 

  Rattrap : I still don't see why I'm the one who has to be carried like a sack of rusty nuts!

  Optimus Primal : Because you're the only one I can fly this whole distance! Besides, Tigatron's message said the island is booby-trapped, and no one knows traps like Rattrap!

  Rattrap : [ruefully flattered]  Ah, the curse of a great reputation. Say, we get beverage cart service on this flight?

  Optimus Primal : Just make sure your seatbelt is securely fastened.

• [a plummeting Rattrap is joined by a gloating Terrorsaur] 

  Terrorsaur : A scared little mousey! This is too good to be true!

  Rattrap : You know, beakface? You're right!

  [transforms and blasts Terrorsaur] 

  Terrorsaur : [struggling to maintain flight]  Beast mode!

  [Rattrap lands on the back of the pterodactyl] 

  Rattrap : I just had to get ya close enough to hitch a ride! Now fly, ya featherless freak, or I'll toast your tachyons!

• Rattrap : Wait a minute, wait a minute... you're saying that whoever built this island places an obstacle course all around this island, which doesn't let you use energy weapons?

  Optimus Primal : What are you getting at, Rattrap?

  Rattrap : This isn't a paradise, it's a puzzle. This island was built to bring subjects from this planet here, and, uh, test them...

  Airazor : Test them? Test them for what?

  Rattrap : I don't know, Bird Lady. But I can tell you this: being a guinea pig ain't my idea of a long-term career gig, you get what I'm sayin'? I say we ditch this joint!

  Tigatron : No! This is a land of peace! I will protect it!

  Optimus Primal : It won't be peaceful much longer... Look!

  [points towards two approaching Predacons] 

• Waspinator : Pterodactyl idiot!

• [last lines] 

  [a beam of light spears into the sky from the flying island] 

  Rhinox : Whoa. What do you suppose that beam was all about?

  Cheetor : Some kind of signal?

  Tigatron : A message! We were given a paradise! All we had to do was live in peace! But we proved unworthy... and the paradise is no more.

  Optimus Primal : Yes. It's an old story. Perhaps one day we'll learn...

  Rattrap : Yeah, well, pardon my pragmatism here in this, y'know, deeply philosophical moment, but I'm a little more concerned about who got that message. You gotta know, they ain't gonna be too happy...

  Cheetor : What do you think they're gonna do?

  Rhinox : That, we're just going to have to wait and see...

• Optimus Primal : You know, you're a real piece of work.

  Rattrap : Ahh, ain't it the truth...

• Rattrap : All right, ya power-hungry dame, try a taste of THIS!

  [fires at Blackarachnia]
