- Sideburn: Congratulations Dark Scream! You just won the prize for most obnoxious life form.
- Darkscream: Flattery will get you nowhere, Autobot!
- [Predacons show up]
- Optimus Prime: What do you know. Somebody must have forgotten to lock the gate at the petting zoo.
- Megatron: [laughs] Poor Optimus! Surely you did not think you could defeat ME?
- Optimus Prime: [emerges from rubble] As a matter of fact, I never doubted that for a second.
- [proceeds to deck Megatron]
- Megatron: I am Megatron. I am the leader of the Predacons and the future ruler of the galaxy. The Predacons are in need of energy and there is one among you who knows the location of every energy source on Earth: you, Dr. Onishi!
- Koji: ...Dad? My dad's in danger, somebody's got to help him...
- Optimus Prime: ...And somebody will. I'll do everything I can to help your father. Can you meet me at the entrance to Metro Park in five minutes?
- Koji: Wait! I don't even know who you are!
- Optimus Prime: I'll explain everything later, Koji.
- Koji: Hey, how do you know who I am?
- Optimus Prime: There's no time for that now. I'll see you in five minutes.
- [Optimus and Megatron transform]
- Koji: They both changed their forms! Autobots are just like the Predacons!
- Optimus Prime: It's true. We are two different races of robots from a planet many light years from Earth.
- Koji: Then you're on their side, you lied to me!
- Optimus Prime: No. Listen, Koji: we Autobots live to protect others, Predacons exist only to conquer and destroy.
- Koji: How am I supposed to know who to trust?
- Optimus Prime: That's a decision you'll have to make for yourself.
- Optimus Prime: I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Optimus Prime. I'm an Autobot from the planet Cybertron.
- Optimus Prime: I think I might need a little help on this one. T-AI, battle protocol!
- T-AI: Battle protocol, activating now!
- Optimus Prime: I need backup in Alpha Quadron Sector 3, ASAP!
- T-AI: Copy that, the Autobot Brothers are in that quadron. Prowl is online. Now for his younger brother, Sideburn. He's the fastest. Now I'm scanning for X-Brawn, he's the oldest and the strongest. Listen up, guys. This is a battle protocol. I repeat, this is a battle protocol!
- Kelly: [driving a Mercedes SUV] If I keep going at this rate, I think I can get to New York in time for breakfast!
- X-Brawn: My apologies, ma'am. You're gonna have to take a cab.
- Kelly: Me? Why?
- X-Brawn: Just an emergency. Sorry!
- [ejects Kelly thorugh the sunroof]
- X-Brawn: All right! Time to put the pedal to the metal and burn some serious rubber!
- Sideburn: [to a red car] Hey... That's a pretty slick little chassis you got there.
- [the car's female driver giggles]
- Prowl: Quit foolin' around, Sideburn! You got T-AI's alert, same as I did! We've got a battle protocol to respond to, so step on it!
- Sideburn: All right, I'm going, I'm going. But just look at that paintjob, will ya? Ain't she a beaut?
- Prowl: Don't make me get out my towbar...
