• Rhinox : Rattrap, what are you doing?

  Rattrap : We can't abandon the base, and since I turned this thing on I'm the one who's gotta turn it off! Oh, man, I'm starting to sound like Optimus Pinhead...

  [heads into the ship's ventilation system] 

  Rhinox : RATTTTRAAAAP!

• [Cheetor, Dinobot and Rhinox exit the Maximal base post-haste] 

  Cheetor : Giga-bummer! We're locked out!

  Dinobot : It appears you've built a better mousetrap...

  [Rhinox glares at him] 

• [last lines] 

  Rhinox : Rattrap? But how did you...

  Rattrap : ...avoid getting scrapped? Well, it was no oil bath. But the bottom line is: the defense system ain't built that can beat me! Right, Sentinel? Ya just gotta know how to talk to it!

• [the defense system starts to malfunction] 

  Rattrap : Show's over, Rhinox; shut it down!

  Rhinox : How? The console's junked, thanks to you and Dinobot!

  Cheetor : [entering]  Hey, what's going on?

  Rhinox : Sentinel thinks we're intruders! We have to get out of here! Help Dinobot!

  Rattrap : Uh... what about that friend-and-foe program?

  Rhinox : That's what I was working on when you pulled that stunt!

  Rattrap : Ooops...

• [the defense grid is deactivated] 

  Cheetor : Hey, the defense grid's down...

  Rhinox : Oh, no...

  Optimus Primal : What is it, Rhinox?

  Rhinox : Sentinel would not have deactivated if, if the intruder was still active...

  Cheetor : Rattrap... gone? No way. I don't believe it.

  Optimus Primal : He was a difficult Maximal to deal with - at times, impossible. But I'll remember him with honour.

  Dinobot : I won't disgrace his memories with lies! He was a stinking, omnivorous pestilence! But yet... in some perverse way... I shall miss him.

  Rhinox : Sure, he smelled, he was a rat - but he was my best friend.

  Rattrap : [surprising them]  Oh, boohoo, boohoo! Don't stop!... Ya motorheads are killing me!

• [first lines] 

  [In an underground cavern beneath the Maximal ship, Waspinator, Terrorsaur, and Blackarachnia are working on a tunnel] 

  Waspinator : Waspinator tired of this! Can't this bomb fit?

  Blackarachnia : It's not a bomb, bug! It's a sonic projector. And when placed correctly, it'll blow a sweet little hole in the bottom of the Maximal base!

  Terrorsaur : We have to widen the tunnel!

  Blackarachnia : So? Widen it! I'm soiled enough already just being around you two!

  Waspinator : Spider-bot dig her own hole!

  [flies away in a huff] 

  Terrorsaur : [transforms]  Megatron said dig. So start digging!

  Blackarachnia : [transforms]  I'm the brains of this little operation... not the brawn!

  [a standoff ensures between Terrorsaur and Blackarachnia] 

• [the defense system upgrades itself] 

  Rattrap : Oh, man... there won't be enough of me left to fill a teaspoon!

• [dodging fire from Sentinel] 

  Rattrap : And one and two and stretch - now bend, now lift - feel the burn! YEAH!

• Waspinator : [flying in circles]  Waspinator sick of taking orders! Waspinator is greatest of Predacons! Waspinator rules!

• Dinobot : Danglers? Defense guns? What kind of defense grid is this?

  Rhinox : What's coming out of your gearing?

  Dinobot : These toys won't work against Predacons in battle mode! Lethal threat demands lethal response!

  Rattrap : Oh, yeah? Well respond to this, Chopperface!

  [programs the system to attack Dinobot] 

• [the base is flooded] 

  Rattrap : Tsk... Zero-friction fluid! Huh! C'mon, Rhinox, that stuff is strictly for amateurs!

  [starts surfing across the fluid] 

  Rattrap : Ah, this ain't a security grid. It's a gym just for spy guys like me! Heh-heh!

• Rattrap : Give it up, Sentinel! You don't have a chance! 'Cause I'm a stealth fighter, a master marksman, and...

  [detaches a bomb from a compartment in his body] 

  Rattrap : ...a demolition expert!
