Quotes 

• [as the Autobots' spacecraft gets closer to the sun, its metal body begin to melt due to the immense heat. The sign "BERGER INC" is burnt. Brown vapors rising from the Autobots' bodies] 

  Bumblebee : Hey... my circuits are overheating!

  Huffer : We'll, uhh... we'll...

  Hound : We'll vaporize!

  Optimus Prime : Cosmos... take action!

  [Cosmos also suffers the same damage from the heat] 

  Cosmos : Like what?

  Optimus Prime : [straining to speak]  If I knew, I'd do it myself!

  Cosmos : [transforms to robot mode]  I guess anything is better than nothing...

  [Cosmos enters the spacecraft and clicks the controls] 

  Ironhide : Well... any luck?

  [Cosmos clicks the controls, then raises his hands in despair] 

  Cosmos : No...

  [the spaceship continues its deadly, unstoppable course into the sun] 

• [at the press conference hall, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Berger are standing in front of the TV cameras. Reporters sit in lines. TV technicians prepare the broadcasting equipment] 

  Shawn Berger : [On TV]  Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our regular programming to present...

  Megatron : [On TV]  People of Earth! This is Megatron. Any questions? You, in front.

  [Unnoticed, Spike, Sparkplug, Chip and mayor sneak in, with the incriminating tape in their possession, intending to reveal the Decepticons' scheme in public] 

  Reporter : Thank you, sir

  [looking at his notes] 

  Reporter : Mr., uh, Megatron, now that the Autobots are gone - what are your plans here on Earth?

  Megatron : I'm glad you asked, Earth-germ!

  Shawn Berger : [turns to Megatron, shocked at this rudeness]  What?

  Megatron : My plan is to conquer this mud-ball of a planet, and

  [makes squashing gesture] 

  Megatron : suck it dry of energy!

  Reporter : [drops his notes in fear]  We've been had!

  [the audience mumbles in fear and shock] 

  Megatron : Yes! Thanks to my partner, Shawn Berger

  [gestures toward Berger, who stands speechless] 

  Megatron : .

  Reporter : Berger!

  Male audience member : Traitor!

  Female Audience Member : [gasps]  I don't believe it!

  Berger's Guard : [to another of Berger's guards]  We've been working for a traitor!

  Reporter : [waves his fist angrily at Berger]  Berger, you filthy swine!

  Shawn Berger : [Speechless, shakes in fear, realizing that he was used by the Decepticons to get rid of the Autobots, and now nothing can stop the Decepticons - all because of his lust for power] 

  Spike Witwickey : [to his friends, gesturing the tape, which is no longer needed as Megatron himself revealed the truth]  Nothing is more stale than old news.

  Berger's Guard : Shred my paycheck, Berger! I'm switching sides!

  [he and the other guard point their rifles at Berger and rush toward him, but Starscream shoots and destroys their rifles] 

  Megatron : Is anyone brave - or stupid enough - to oppose us? This city is under martial law... and *I* am the marshal!

  Shawn Berger : [bows his head in despair] 

• [Millions miles from Earth, in deep space, the Autobots are safe: Trailbreaker activated his force-field, surrounding the other Autobots with it. Cosmos pulls the force-field, with all the Autobots inside it, toward the sun] 

  Bumblebee : Huh, if it hadn't been for your force field, Trailbreaker, we'd be molecules now.

  Optimus Prime : You did well, Trailbreaker. Cosmos, put it in gear and let's get back to Earth. Cosmos, we're heading back toward the Sun! What's the problem?

  Cosmos : Sorry, Prime. My navigational systems are still controlled by Teletraan 1.

• [now that the Autobots are gone, the Decepticons seize control of the city, ruthlessly enslaving the residents. The people are forced into hard labor at refineries, power plants and mines, working to exhaustion in producing energon cubes, while the Decepticons oversee them. Spike, Sparkplug, Chip, the mayor and Berger are imprisoned in a power plant, watched by Soundwave, their hands are chained with electric handcuffs] 

  Soundwave : Increase efficiency or be terminated!

  [Soundwave shoots over the workers' heads] 

  Chip Chase : Those generators never worked so hard before.

  Spike Witwickey : Generators? What about us?

  Mayor : [pants heavily while working]  Megatron was true to his word. He rewarded Berger with everything... he deserved.

  [the mayor glances at Berger, who is forced to work like the other captives, clearly not used to hard labor. One of Berger's ex-gaurds passes by, carrying energon cube on his back, glaring at his former employer with hatred] 

  Berger's Guard : What's the matter, traitor? Real work's something new to you?

  Chip Chase : Berger sure doesn't have many friends in these ranks.

  Spike Witwickey : Still, I can't forget how he tried to help me...

  [a shot, fired by Soundwave, passes between Spike and Chip, narrowly misses them. They recoil in horror] 

  Soundwave : Less talk and more work.
