Quotes 

• Starscream : Of the Energon deposits we have located while you were away, Lord Megatron, this one is by far the most significant. The drones have been mining without pause during your absence, and have amassed quite a stockpile. You there! Fetch me a sample!

  Megatron : Starscream! Now that I have returned, I will issue the commands.

  Starscream : I... understand, Lord Megatron. Then, as your humble servant, shall I ready the space bridge to bring forth the Decepticon army you have surely gathered during your three years in space?

  Megatron : My army will come, but my time away has yielded a more... intriguing means of materializing them.

  [Megatron pulls out a glowing purple crystal] 

  Megatron : The solidified form of the matter the ancient texts refer to as "The blood of Unicron".

  Starscream : Unicron the Destroyer? But it is said his blood is the anti-Spark.

  Megatron : Plucked from cosmic shores, gaze upon... Dark Energon!

  Starscream : Legend tells that it holds the power to... revive the dead.

  Megatron : We require only a cadaver to be certain.

  [Looks over at Starscream] 

  Megatron : Are you willing to make the ultimate sacrifice?

  Starscream : [reluctantly]  Heh, heh heh... That... may not be necessary. if I may, Lord Megatron.

  [Starscream points over to Cliffjumper's lifeless body] 

  Starscream : Consider it a welcome home present.

• Starscream : That's your plan? Bring Autobots back from the dead to attack us?

  Megatron : That is no longer an Autobot. Just a mindless beast, its only instinct to destroy anything in its path.

• Starscream : Lord Megatron, intruders have been detected in the mines.

  Megatron : Optimus?

  Starscream : Indeed.

  Megatron : I need more time to prepare an appropriate reception for my old friend. Ready the ship for departure.

  Starscream : But the Energon I've mined, the Autobots will seize it!

  Megatron : Then blow the mines!

• Starscream : I don't think you need worry about further Autobot interference, master. Not with Optimus gone.

  Megatron : And what evidence do you possess of this fact?

  Starscream : I destroyed the mines, as you instructed.

  Megatron : Optimus is not so easily destroyed. We have millennia worth of battles behind us to prove it.

  Starscream : Maybe you should take a break, my lord. I worry that too much contact with the Dark Energon might allow its properties to adversely affect you.

  Megatron : Or perhaps, Starscream, I have not permitted myself contact enough.

  Megatron : [he breaks off a Dark Energon shard]  Wait! Lord Megatron, no! Not your spark chamber! You do not know what it will do!
