Memorable quotes[]
"Oh, my."
- - Sulu, upon seeing the dilithium mining site attacked by the Decepticons
"Is… is someone in there? Are you hurt?"
"My life… is of little significance. The Humans – protect the Humans. I did not mean to drag them into our war. Not… again…"
- - Kirk and Optimus Prime
"I don't know you had me beamed down, Jim. The medical team is taking care of the injured miners."
"I want you to have a look at this unusual patient we found."
"Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mechanic."
"This isn't any simple machine, Bones. It spoke to me."
"So what? Lots of computers talk. In fact, sometimes I wish they'd shut up."
"This is different! I can't describe why, but it felt like… like it had consciousness. Run your scans and we'll compare them with Scotty's. I want to find a way to wake it up again."
- - McCoy and Kirk, on examining Optimus Prime
