"Hang on, Sparkplug. When I say we've *got* Optimus Prime ... I mean we've got *an* Optimus Prime. Or what's left of him!" -- Smokescreen, issue 14 % "Must ... warn ... the walls ... crumbling. *Chaos* ... is coming ..." -- Alternate Optimus Prime, issue 14 % Megatron: "I don't *know* why it isn't working ... if I knew that, I wouldn't need you to *fix* it, *would* I? Now get to work." Starscream and Demolishor: "*Us*?" Megatron: "Of *course* you!" Demolishor: "Enhh. Don't know space bridge mechanics, mighty Megatron. No. Starscream?" Starscream: "Must have *missed* that class" (issue 14) % "Leader-1! Analysis! "You *bellowed*?" -- Megatron and Leader-1, nod to Beast Wars, issue 14 % "*Hey*! That's more *like* it - abject *terror*. You've just made my -" KARAK! -- Starscream before been despatched by G1 Galvatron, issue 14 % "Wait ... no. Don't run ... I mean no harm." "H-h-harm? Harm? So much harm, so much pain. And it's not over. No, no, no. It said, it did ... it said it would come back ... and eat our world!" -- Optimus Prime and G1 Spinister, issue 14 % "Just so I have this *straight* ... You, Starscream, note the Autobots' interest in this ... curiosity. You subsequently instruct Demolishor to recover it. Meantime, you observe the Autobots with an *unidentified* Mini-con. Said Mini-con is, in your own words, '*in the bag*', when ... you are summarily despatched by a single blow from an *unknown* assailant. That about the measure of it?" "Well, ye-es, but -" "You *incompetent, brainless, wastes of space*!" -- Megatron and Starscream, issue 15 % "*Who* is responsible?" "Th-the *lord* of eternal night, the *prince* of nothingness ... every *dark* deed, the *sum* of all fears. Our sins remembered, final judgement *pronounced*. The heavens opened ... and we reaped, I say ... *reaped* the whirlwind." -- Optimus Prime and G1 Spinister, issue 15 % "There must be something we can do to *defend* ourselves." "*Do*? E-hehehe, can't do ... only *die*. They tried, the mighty, the savage, the noble ... and they all burned." -- Optimus Prime and G1 Spinister, issue 15 % "So it *ends*. With both a whimper ... and a bang!" -- Megatron, before destroying Smokescreen, issue 15 % "And now, for my *next* trick ..." "... *Stay*! This *final* privilege ... is all *mine*!" -- Starscream and Megatron, issue 15 % Demolishor: "Crzz ... Megatron ..." Megatron: "What *is* it, Demolishor?" Demolishor: "There's someone - *No*!" DOOOM! Megatron: "What's *happening*? Cyclonus?" Cyclonus: "Geaa!" Megatron: "Starscream?" Starscream: "Y-you! Get ... get ba-*aaak*!" Megatron: "What *now*? Really! Can't I leave you alone for a ... moment? Hn, and who *exactly* ... are *you*? (issue 15) % "This is *bad*." "Uh-huh" "Oh. Yeah." "Question is ... do we get *involved*?" -- The Air Defense Team, issue 16 % "You ... are in my *way*! And anything in my way - I go *throught*! My troops may have fallen, but I am *Megatron*!" -- Armada Megatron presenting himself to G1 Galvatron, issue 16 % "This is *bad*!" "Bad how, Jetfire? Bad in the sense that we're in the *heart* of the enemy camp, or bad in that someone's trying to *ventilate* the dimensional wall with *space bridges*?" "Bad in that we've met no opposition whatsoever ... no guards, no security, *nothing*!" "Oh ... riiight." -- Jetfire and Blurr, issue 16 % "This is seriously *warped*. Who ... or *what* did all this?" "And more to the point ... where are they now?" -- Rhinox and Jetfire, in another nod to Beast Wars, issue 16 % "This is *bad*." "Sparkplug, you have a gift ... for *understatement*." -- Sparkplug and Over-run, issue 16 % "Oh. Oh. This is bad." "*Bad*? This ... is way, *way* beyond bad." -- G1 Spinister and Optimus Prime, issue 16 % "What *is* it?" "The heart of *darkness*, the root of all *evil*, the -" "Okay, *okay*! I *get* the idea." -- Optimus Prime (speaking for us all) and G1 Spinister, issue 16 % "See, Megatron, we heard ... you could use an *edge*!" -- The Air Defense Team, issue 16 % "I've *got* him, I've - *got* - him -" -- Dropshot, before G1 Bludgeon got him, issue 16 % "*Well*? Did we *get* him? Jetfire - what's the word?" "The word ... is *bad*!" -- Unidentified Autobot and Jetfire, issue 16 % "Good news? Well ... depends on what you mean by *good*?" -- Wreckage to Payload, on the battle between Megatron and G1 Galvatron, issue 16 % "Oblivion. I welcome yo--UUUuuu!" -- G1 Spinister, issue 17 % "Sorry, Megatron - but this was *never* meant to be more than *one-battle* stand ..." "We're ..." "-- Not *that* type of Mini-con!" "... Just a case of 'better the devil you know'." -- The Air Defense Team, issue 17 % "He's *back*! Or at least ... it *could* be him." "Hard to know exactly what was *inside* that shell!" -- Rhinox and Overload, on Bludgeon's tank mode, issue 17 % "If only there was something we could *do*, however futile." "In my experience, faced with something *this* big ... you need to find a *bigger* stick." -- Optimus Prime and Jetfire, issue 17 % "Jetfire ... I think we've just been given our 'stick'." "Y-yeah ... *yeah*! Ready?" "Ready." -- Optimus Prime and Jetfire, just before combining, issue 17 % "Let's give this creature ... the worst case of *indigestion* it's ever had." -- Jet Optimus, issue 17
