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.

Sam: I'll take my orders from the Autobots. I know them. I don’t know you.

Charlotte: You will.
