Notable quotes

"I just love opening presents."

-- Skywarp as he breaks through the roof of a Human research institute.

"Where's the courage that your leadership demands, Megatron? To discover if something works, you must dare to... test it!"

-- Starscream activating the electrocells.

"You fool! You'll destroy us all!"
"Destroy us all, oh brave Megatron? Perhaps the Decepticons should look elsewhere for directions. Someone prepared to make command decisions!"

-- Megatron and Starscream arguing over who is a better leader.

"This time, you have dared too much, Starscream. You must pay the price for your insolence!"

-- Megatron as he is about to terminate Starscream.

"There, Prime. In that valley, where Mirage found nothing."

-- Cliffjumper highlighting Mirage's failure to find the Decepticon base in a place he patrolled.

"Remember which side you're on, Mirage."
"Keep your mind on the Decepticons, Cliffjumper."
"That's just what I'm doing!"

-- Cliffjumper getting reprimanded by Optimus Prime.

"An electro-cell! Come to papa!"
"Not so fast, papa."

--Cliffjumper and Starscream with witty banter

"Didn't you ever learn not to touch things that don't belong to you?"
"Okay, Optimus, jump him! Now! "
"Optimus Prime? Where?! ARGH!"
"Poor Starscream, the oldest tricks only work on the biggest jerks!"

-- Starscream who is about to shoot Cliffjumper who in turn pulls the oldest trick on the Decepticon.

"I didn't feel a thing!"
"Then let's try... AGAIN!"
"Too fast for you, huh, Autobum?"

-- Skywarp fighting against Mirage.

"Release the electrocells, Megatron. They don't belong to you."
"I possess them, therefore I own them! You've lost, Optimus Prime. Your destruction is at hand! Neither you nor your Autobot simpletons will prevent me from ruling the universe."

-- Optimus Prime and Megatron after which the Autobot leader gets shot by Kickback and falls to the floor while Megatron continues his speech.

"Uh-oh. Suddenly I feel like I'm not alone."
"You're not! And this is one of those times when you really need a friend!"

--Cliffjumper and Starscream witty banter; part two!

"HAHAHAHAH! Time for me to disappear."

-- Mirage after tricking the Insecticons and the Decepticons into fighting one another.

"You missed again!"
"We both missed. Don't worry about the Autobots and worry about them!"

-- Megatron and Starscream after they miss hitting the Autobots and the Insecticons begin attacking them.

"Those greedy little Insecticons are trying to steal my electrocells. I will squash them like the bugs they are! Decepticons, attack!"

-- Megatron as the Insecticons are attacking him.

"You wouldn't cheat us. You need us to get rid of the Autobots. Maybe after that, you'll rob us blind. But not now!" -- Bombshell after hearing Megatron out that Mirage was responsible for the theft of their energon cubes.

"My... my electrocells! They... they were meant for me! They were meann... argh!"

-- Megatron damaged and in the ruins of the storage base which he destroyed.

Other notes

Animation and/or technical glitches

• When Megatron is rushing to put out the fire on the electrocells, there are two Starscreams beside him.
• When the Decepticons accidently fire on the Insecticons who believe Megatron has betrayed them; Shrapnel's voice is completely different.

Continuity errors

• Cliffjumper is very quick to accuse Mirage of treachery, despite never showing any signs of mistrusting him before, i.e. "More Than Meets the Eye, Part 2". Then again, Cliffjumper is a jerk.

Transformers references

• Shrapnel makes use of his grenade launcher that fires spikes all around the target, its nasty... Mirage can testify to that.
