Crossing the Rubicon (1999)

Scott McNeil: Rattrap, Silverbolt

Quotes 

• Blackarachnia : Transmetals have more power. I WANTED IT.

  Silverbolt : Then you should have asked us. We could have helped you.

  Blackarachnia : Yeah, right. Like you're going to help the Pred get more power?

  Optimus Primal : Maximal or Predacon, you're one of us. You should know that by now.

• Ratrap : Hmph! You couldn't pay me let that spider inside my processor.

  Cheetor : Shut up, Rattrap!

  Silverbolt : Listen to him, rat, if you value your spark!

  Ratrap : Was... that a threat?

  Cheetor : [Gives Rattrap a little shove]  Count on it.

  [Gives him an importantly angry look] 

• Rampage : This will hardly be any fun at all.

  Blackarachnia : Yeah, for you! Blackarachnia... MAXIMIZE!

  [Silverbolt gulps] 

  Rampage : Love the new look... GOOD-BYE!

  Blackarachnia : You missed... and you're ugly!

  [Blackarachnia goes back to beast mode and flings her grappling hook around Rampage's neck. She swings him around and around then lets go, flinging Rampage into the side of a cliff] 

  Blackarachnia : [in robot mode]  Hmm. Not too shabby.

  Silverbolt : Blackarachnia?

  Blackarachnia : You're not going to leave me now Bowser? Not after I've had my nails done and everything.

  [smiles] 

• Silverbolt : What is it, Rhinox?

  Rhinox : The Pred shell program they implanted is deteriorating. If it continues it will infect her Maximal core conscience.

  Blackarachnia : It sounds serious. Oh. I guess using the transmetal driver on myself wasn't such a great idea.

  Optimus Primal : I thought you were smarter than that and how did YOU get the driver?

  Blackarachnia : I borrowed it.

  Rhinox : Why?

• Silverbolt : Enough! Our only concern now should be Blackarachnia's well-being.

  Optimus Primal : You're right. Rhinox?

  Rhinox : I can't stop the spark's deterioration but I can try severing the shell program from her core consience. The only problem is it's never been done before.

  [Blackarachnia looks worried] 

  Optimus Primal : And if we don't try?

• Silverbolt : I am sorry, but I will forever be your champion, my lady.

  Blackarachnia : The way you talk.

  [an electrolytic pulse goes through Blackarachnia's face into Silverbolt's face] 

  Blackarachnia : Transmetal power... Better get used to it.

• Rhinox : It's too late. I'm sorry.

  Silverbolt : Blackarachnia.

  Rhinox : I'll let Optimus know.

  Silverbolt : [growling]  TARANTULAS!

• Silverbolt : TARANTULAS! She's gone and it's all because of you. Silverbolt... MAXIMIZE!

• Ratrap : I never thought I'd say this, but I'm gonna miss her.

  Cheetor : I know I will. She was something special.

  Optimus Primal : We should have trusted her more, if only because Silverbolt loved her.

  Ratrap : Yeah. Where is the bird-dog anyways?

  Optimus Primal : He couldn't have... Oh, no!

  Ratrap : Ohh!

• Silverbolt : [as Rhinox begins to turn Blackarachnia's internal systems off]  Come back to me soon, beloved.

• Silverbolt : [to Tarantulas]  You've twisted your last innocent life, spider!
