Quotes

" Decepticon? But, you told me you were an Autobot."
"And I hated every moment of that humiliating charade."

—Isaac Sumdac finally learns the truth, and from Megatron himself.

Lugnut: "And the universe will rejoice! All hail your grand and glorious return!"
Starscream: "Okaaay, what's his malfunction?"
Calm Blitzwing: "Technical glitch. It happens."
Crazy Blitzwing: "A lot, actually! Ahahahahaaaa!"
Lugnut: "It's not a glitch! It is Megatron, and he commands us to deliver him the key!"
Starscream: "Megatron?! Did you just say Megatron? Did he just say MEGATRON?! THERE IS NO MEGATRON!! MEGATRON IS OFFLINE! TERMINATED! I DID IT MYSEL-...saw it myself."

—Starscream, master of deception.

• When Bumblebee arrives at Sumdac towers and notices Starscream it looks like an exact replica from the '86 movie in which Hot Rod saw Starscream and the Decepticons through a hole in the Shuttle on the way to Autobot City
