Transformers: Prime

Shockwave: Simply put, this combination of elements could allow us

To cyberform entire worlds.

Why do I feel a shockwave plan coming on?

Do not think for a moment, starscream, that it has gone

Unnoticed that you left me at the mercy of the autobots.

Master? Are you going to allow one lieutenant to harm another?

Master?

I'm thinking.

( shockwave and starscream grunt )

I am tempted to force you to share my perception of things.

No! I only did what I thought was best for the mission,

But I do feel compelled to add that it was my very error

In judgment that made this happy accident possible!

If I recollect, you were seeking to purge your laboratory

Of sensitive materials before the autobots arrived,

Were you not?

Your argument...Is logical.

Exemplary teamwork.

Now tell me, shockwave,

Why does this cyber-matter resemble chaos?

The basic elements are apparently unstable--

I will turn my attention to correcting that.

Nevertheless, should we use this cyber-matter to restore

Cybertron, or cyberform earth,

We would require a launch mechanism, would we not?

Megatron: Then we will focus all our remaining resources

Upon the successful reconstruction

Of the omega lock.

I've done everything I can considering the limitations

Of my equipment, and less than ideal spare parts.

It remains uncertain if ultra magnus's new appendage

Will be fit for battle...Though it should prove functional,

After the requisite amount of therapy.

That is all we can hope for, old friend.

You doing okay?

I'm still two-fisted.

So's magnus.

Wait and see, the claw's gonna become his signature--

You know, like the way you own that voice box

Ratchet slapped in your throat!

I mean, you know, everyone understands you fine!

Why would you even consider getting it fixed now,

Am I right?

Whoa, what'd he say?

Bee's kind of still attached to the sound of his own voice--

His original one.

Hey, look at the bright, shiny side,

Commander magnus and 'jackie single-handedly

Put the kibosh on project predacon

Though at least one beast that we know of remains--

The one who has demonstrated the ability to transform.

Predaking, we will soon plot our strike against the autobots,

To punish them for the massacre of your kind.

While I fully intend to exact my revenge,

Project predacon was merely a squadron, not an army.

I see...

My liege, if you truly aspire to restore our home world,

Then I have every faith that you will resurrect the entirety

Of the predacon race from the remains which lie there,

So that I may lead them against any

And all of our shared enemies.

Shockwave: We salvaged much of the wreckage of the omega lock,

But the damage was quite severe.

I would urge the selective use of earth technology,

Retro-fitting its operating systems

Will be more efficient than rebuilding from scratch.

Then do provide starscream with your wish list.

Since shockwave must turn his attention to the stabilization

Of our cyber-matter, you will be in charge of acquisitions.

Fowler: Prime! We have trouble brewing.

The 'cons staged a smash-and-grab

At the los alamos nuclear plant

Late last night, and made off with 20 tons of control rods.

What are the decepticons looking to build?

Lord megatron, I have determined that the synthetic energon

Formula provided by knock out is the source of the instability

Simply because it is incomplete.

Then make haste and complete it, we will not only require

Enough cyber-matter to rebuild one planet,

But to remake a second.

Shockwave: Master, excuse my impudence,

But what is the logic behind ruling two worlds?

It has taken me quite some time to fully comprehend that earth

And cybertron have always been linked,

Two halves of one whole, primus and unicron.

And that, to rule only one,

Would be to never truly rule either.

Fowler ( on computer ): Prime!

It's 'cons a . In progress this time.

Coordinates received, agent fowler.

Let's roll. Yip-yip!

Your ability to roll remains predicated

Upon further exploration of your manual dexterity.

I'm afraid that ratchet's authority supersedes my own

In medical matters.

understood.

Whoa!

Ratchet, reopen the groundbridge--

But ensure that the humans are kept at a safe distance,

For we will be returning with a decepticon prisoner.

Ratchet: Because we had the foresight to shield our new base

Our captive will be unable to transmit his coordinates

To the decepticon warship.

Nor will they, in turn, be able to pinpoint his location.

Guess we have all the time in the world

To make mr. Personality tell us everything he knows.

The 'con veillance chief must know a lot, right?

But soundwave doesn't speak... Does he?

I'm not sure he even has a face.

Starscream: With laserbeak unable

To triangulate soundwave's current location,

Are you not concerned about what our comrade might spill?

Of one thing, I'm certain,

Soundwave knows when to impart information,

And when to withhold it.

Why is megatron stealing human technology?

What is he attempting to build?

Soundwave ( retransmitting ): "why is megatron stealing human technology?

What is he attempting to build?"

Whoa, optimus prime: The remix.

Oh, yeah? Why don't I wipe that smile right off his face.

Soundwave, we have treated you fairly.

For the sake of the natives of this planet,

Tell us what megatron is attempting to build,

Before we are forced to rely upon less civil methods

Of interrogation.

Scrap this!

Soundwave is no ordinary cybertronian, inside or out,

So I would strongly suggest opening him up so we can have

A first-hand look at the information

Recorded on his drives.

Uh-oh.

All right, he's downloading data.

No. Soundwave is erasing data.

Soundwave superior. Autobots inferior.
