- Cheetor: Terrorsaur and Waspinator just took off from Pred Central! They must be back online!
- Rhinox: You hear that, Optimus?
- Optimus Primal: More than hear it, Rhinox... we're in the middle of it live!
- [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]
- [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...
- [first lines]
- Tigatron: It is as though I have come home. Though my heart is a Maximal fluid pump, my soul is that of a tiger. And on this strange flying island, despite its weaponry, I, at last, feel myself at peace. It must not fall into the clutches of the Predacons.
