Quotes

Starscream: Forgive me, Lord Megatron, but in your absence, someone had to take command. I have deployed spy drones to the insect planet. They have already located the child who—bested you.
[Megatron rises and smacks Starscream into a wall]
Megatron: Even in death, there is no command but mine. My words ring truer in my absence than yours when you are present!

—Megatron and Starscream reunite, but without the slashy subtext.


"Anyone else get the feeling we got the dregs of the Cybertronian gene pool?"

—Seymour Simmons on Skids and Mudflap.


"Everyone's after me because of what I know? Well, I know that this is gonna work."
"How"?
"Because I believe it."

—Sam lets Mikaela know that he'll raise Optimus through Burning Justice if necessary.


"You dare challenge me?! I am a Prime!"
"You abandoned that name when you slaughtered your brothers. There is only one Prime now, and my ancestry will be avenged."

—The Fallen and Optimus Prime settle their family feud.

Errors

Items of note

  • The appliances in the Witwicky kitchen that are brought to life include a cappuccino maker, a toaster, a garbage disposal, a cell phone, a microwave, a blender, and an electric mixer. They are called "appliancebots."
  • Rampage (here unnamed) chases after Sam and Mikaela by bouncing like a pogo-stick.
  • In Defiance issue 4, The Fallen claimed he would be imprisoned in his sarcophagus until the star harvester is rediscovered. This is apparently literally true. It seems the act of finding the harvester somehow freed him from prison.

Differences with the movie

  • In the film, six Primes to create the Tomb of the Primes. Here, eleven Primes have already been killed by The Fallen, and the twelfth creates the tomb from their bodies, only killing himself to seal it up.
  • Wheels talks in a very dinobot-like fashion, but is normal, albeit pretty rude, in the movie.
  • The Fallen is not present on the Nemesis when Megatron visits it. Megatron instead speaks with The Fallen by means of an odd communications device which consisted of millions of tiny mechanisms which rose from the deck and formed a likeness of The Fallen's head.
  • Optimus does not die, but instead goes into a form of Stasis Lock.
  • Instead of the Fallen, Megatron is the one who hijacks the news broadcasts.
  • Epps and Lennox receive their coordinates via a roundabout conversation from Epps' wife Monique, with some input from Sarah. Simmons is the one who directly tells them where to go in the film.
  • Only Skids talks in jive, while Mudflap merely has a severe lisp.
  • Bumblebee speaks with his own voice several times throughout the novel.
  • There a lot of differences in deaths. Mixmaster (who is unidentified in the novel), is blown up by Jetfire instead of being decapitated, and then Jetfire rips Scorponok's head off instead of smashing his head. Ravage's death is not mentioned. And finally, like in almost every piece of media, The Fallen is killed by being stabbed through the head with the top of the Solar Harvester.
  • Optimus' final words in the novel are different. They are the same that were in the comic adaptation.
  • Another similarity with the comic adaptation is that megatron is shown raising his army on the Nemesis (ROTF).
