The Lost Hope of a Mechanical Race
Optimus Prime
We were once a peaceful race of intelligent mechanical beings. But then came the war, between the Autobots who fought for freedom, and the Decepticons who dreamt of tyranny. Over matched and outnumbered, our defeat was all but certain. But in the wars final days, ] escaped the battle. It was carrying a secret cargo, which would have changed our planets fate. A desperate mission. Our final hope. A hope, that vanished.

Exploitation for Cosmic Rebuilding
Carly
They said they were here for our resource, to rebuild their planet.
Dylan
Yes, but really one resource in particular. One unique to our planet.
Carly
Us?
Dylan
You’re very smart. You see, they can’t rebuild without a slave labor force. How many rocks up there in the universe offer six billion workers?
Carly
What are you talking about? We can’t transport people.
Dylan
They’re not shipping people. They’re shipping their planet here.

Sentinel
In a world I do not know, I am no longer your teacher, Optimus. You are mine.

Search for Lost Technology in Transformers
Sentinel Prime
My ship. We came under fire. The pillars. Where are the pillars?
Optimus
You saved five of them, including the control pillar.
Sentinel
Only five? We once had hundreds!
Charlotte
Excuse me, gentlemen. May I ask, what is this technology you’re looking for?
Sentinel
It is the ability to reshape the universe. Together the pillars form a space bridge. I designed, and I alone, can control it. It defies your laws of physics to transport matter through time and space.
Charlotte
You’re talking about a teleportation device, aren't you?
Optimus
Yes, for resources, for refugees.
Charlotte
Refugees, or troops of soldiers, weapons, maybe bombs! A means of an instant strike! That’s its military function, isn’t it?
Sentinel
It is our technology and it must be returned.
Charlotte
Yes. If humans say so. You can’t just bring weapons of mass destruction into our atmosphere! You kind of have to clear customs first! A little formality called paperwork, kind of separates us from the animals.
Sentinel
I will overlook your condescending tone if you heed the gravity of mine. The Decepticons must never know the space bridge is here. For in their hands, it would mean the end of your world.

Tension Among Transformers Leaders
Starscream
Oh, my poor master. How it pains me to see you so wounded, so weak...
Megatron
Spare me, you gaseous sycophant! You know what you are told, which is nothing!
Soundwave
Soundwave reporting, Lord Megatron.
Megatron
And what news from your little assassin?
Laserbeak
Autobots have taken the bait. They've discovered the Ark, and returned with its cargo.
Megatron
You did me great honor, tracking that ship to the moon. The human collaborators have served their purpose, Soundwave. It’s time to eliminate loose ends.
Soundwave
Laserbeak, kill them all.
Laserbeak
With pleasure.

A Clash of Ideals for Cybertron's Future
Optimus
Why, Sentinel, why?
Sentinel
For Cybertron! For our home! What war destroyed, we can rebuild! But only if we join with the Decepticons.
Optimus
No, it’s not the only way. This is our home! We must defend the humans!
Sentinel
So lost you are, Optimus. On Cybertron, we were gods. And here, they call us machines. Let the humans serve us, or perish.
