- Optimus Primal: He's a Transformer but his spark is still feral.
- Rattrap: It looks like he can't get out of it.
- Optimus Primal: He'll learn. He just needs a little guidance at the moment. It's okay, Cheetor. Use your spark. Get control.
- Rattrap: Yeah, nobody's going to hurt you, kid.
- [Cheetor takes a few swipes at Rattrap]
- Rattrap: Us I'm not so sure about.
- Optimus Primal: It's us, Cheetor. Your friends. We know you can do it.
- [Optimus takes his spark energy and transfers it to Cheetor's spark]
- Optimus Primal: Do it, Cheetor... Maximize!
- Cheetor: Maximize!
- Optimus Primal: Yes, Cheetor!
- Optimus Primal: [lifts Cheetor off the ground] You did it!
- Cheetor: [growling] Oh, Optimus! Back off, okay? You're embarrassing me.
- [looking at Silverbolt and Rattrap]
- Cheetor: You looking at something?
- Rattrap: [glee] Oh, joy. Cyber-puberty!
- Cheetor: I don't understand why we have to do this. Don't you trust me?
- Optimus Primal: Normally, yes, but at the moment I think you're hiding something.
- Cheetor: I'm not hiding ANYTHING! Why is everyone giving me such a hard time?
- Optimus Primal: Because we care and because I think I know the truth. I just want you to trust me enough to help you.
- Cheetor: All right, all right, it's like this...
- [Optimus hears a twig snapping. He sniffs around, puts his detection-visor down and sees a line-of-sight light hit Cheetor]
- Optimus Primal: Cheetor, look out!
- [Optimus runs in front of Cheetor and gets hit in the chest]
- Cheetor: Oh, no! OPTIMUS!
- [begins to hulk out]
- Optimus Primal: You listen, hardhead. Cheetor's gone, and I think you know something! So you will talk, or I will rip out your core processor and extract the information personally!
- Depthcharge: Well, since you asked so nicely. Your little kitty-cat pulled some kind of alien gizmo off of Megatron's organic transmetal unit.
- Optimus Primal: Did he succeed?
- Depthcharge: Yeah, but the device was already activated.
- Optimus Primal: He was caught in the overload.
- Depthcharge: I already destroyed the gizmo. I'm sorry. I didn't know that was what he'd become.
- Waspinator: Ooh, Waspinator detect stink of unnatural transmetal.
- [meekly as Dinobot II growls at him]
- Waspinator: Oops. Waspinator exclude present company.
- Dinobot: I will subdue and retrieve the target.
- Waspinator: Wait. Need plan. Waspinator in charge.
- Dinobot: I *am* the plan.
- Megatron: [hearing Cheetor's feral growls] That sound, I've heard it before.
- [activating a radar]
- Megatron: Well, someone's out for a little moonlight stroll... at Mach 2. And that someone...
- [touching claw marks on his chestplate]
- Megatron: ...is familiar. Zoom in and magnify.
- [seeing Cheetor]
- Megatron: A transmetal II. As I suspected. That meddling feline destroyed my system and improved himself in the process.
- Waspinator: Hmm. Improved?
- [as Dinobot II growls, Waspinator cowers and hides behind Megatron]
- Megatron: That creature is mine.
- [grabbing Waspinator]
- Megatron: Bring him in!
- Optimus Primal: Cheetor. Watch out for the other bot!
- Cheetor: Which bot? Oh, you mean this one right here?
- [blasts Waspinator]
- Cheetor: You hurt my friend, freak-bot.
- Dinobot: Yes, and now I shall neautralize you!
