"(voiceover; via transmission and narration) At the dawn of time, there was our gracious and powerful creator, Primus. To protect our universe, he sacrificed his life force, transforming himself into our planet, Cybertron. From within Cybertron’s core, Primus birthed the first Transformers known as the Primes, the most powerful Transformers, appointed to lead and protect future generations. To assist them, Primus created an entity of great power, the Matrix of Leadership. [...] With the Matrix in the Primes’ possession, Cybertron’s natural power source, Energon, flowed in abundance, sustaining life across the planet. [...] For generations, there was peace and prosperity, until the Matrix of Leadership was lost, causing Energon to no longer flow."

"Orion Pax, your noble sacrifice for the greater good has proven you worthy in the eyes of Primus, he entrusts in you, the future of Cybertron, and... the Matrix of Leadership!"

"Down here, the truth is what I make it."

"(last words) D-16... we can lead Cybertron together...! DON'T DO THIS...!"

"You have the power to make your world better, but this fight is mine."

"There's a reason no one goes to the surface, it's dangerous."

"(seeing Orion and D-16 at the Iacon-5000 race) You gotta be kidding me."

"[From the trailer] Maybe it's just me, but (reffering to D-16) he's different."

"(the Quintesson commander threatens Sentinel due to the Energon he and his forces brought not being enough) I know what I promised you! But our mines, they’re running out! There’s barely enough Energon for us! (the Quintesson commander growls) I swear, I'll get you the rest!"

"(via a footage used to expose him for him giving away the Energon to the Quintessons; straining) I’m working my miners as hard as I can. I swear I will get you the rest! (line is repeated three times)"

"What defines a Transformer is not the cog in his chest, but the spark that resides in their core. A spark that gives you the will to make your world better. My fellow Primes had that spark, and I see their strength in you. Take their cogs and access your full potential."

"I know we're just lowly worker bots who can't even transform. Don't you wanna see what's out there? (in the teaser trailer only)"

"Now is the time to stand together."

"And now we stand here, together as one, proving we all have the power to transform. To become who we were destined to be. To right wrongs, to make our world better. Because here, freedom and autonomy are the rights of all sentient beings. Here, all are truly Autobots. This message is a warning to all Quintessons: if you dare return to Cybertron, the Autobots will be waiting. I will be waiting. I... am Optimus Prime!"

"I... am... Megatron!"

"I'm done saving you."

"[From the trailer] Whoa-ho-ho! I got a battle mask! It appeared when this guy— [gestures, bisecting the drone's head] Knife hands?! I have knife hands!"

"[From the trailer] We've got these powers for a reason. Let's use them."

"The idea of a unified Cybertron is a myth. All that counts is the strength of one bot over another!"

"The yellow annoying one is correct. We were once the High Guard. We witnessed Sentinel's betrayal, saw the Primes fall. Since that day we've been fighting from the shadows, doing whatever we can to sabotage Sentinel."

"(Zeta Prime: "Sentinel... why?!") For all the power on Cybertron."

"(seeing the Megatronus decal on D-16's shoulder) Oh, Megatronus Prime. Of course you’re a fan, Megatronus was the coolest Prime! The biggest, the baddest, the toughest! That's why after I killed him, I took his Cog for myself."

"Sentinel is no Prime!"

"For thousands of cycles, the war with the Quintessons had been a brutal conflict. Until Sentinel, the principal aide to the Primes, intercepted an enemy transmission. There was going to be a secret gathering of Quintesson commanders. Their elimination could end the war. It was a mission so important, we Primes took it on ourselves. We agreed to meet Sentinel for his sensitive intel in secret, here, in this cave. But we were not alone. [...] We were outnumbered but stood as one. Our victory was near. Until we were betrayed. [...] But Sentinel never understood the true power of what he desired. The Matrix of Leadership can only be wielded by one that Primus himself deems worthy. And Sentinel most certainly was not."

"It's time to show them we are more than meets the eye."

"Transform and roll out!"

"[From the trailer] What happened to my best friend?"

"What defines a Transformer is not the cog in his chest, but the spark that resides in their core... a spark that gives you the will to make your world better, and that is something Sentinel can never take from us. If we want to be in control of our own destiny, we will have to fight for it. Now is the time for us to stand up. For ourselves. Stand up for this injustice! I promise you, this fight will be worth it. Follow me; nothing can stop us when we stand together! Together as one!"

"We were given the power to change our world and you chose to destroy it, just like Sentinel. You have betrayed Cybertron and its citizens, and you betrayed... me. Go. Take the High Guard and leave. You are... banished from Iacon. It didn't have to end this way."

"The line between friend and enemy is not as clear as I once believed. Once it's crossed, there's no going back, because some transformations... are permanent."

"Every day... every single day of my life has been a lie."

"Pax, you need to move out of my way, before I move you myself."

"I'm not cowering in some busted ship, playing king of the throne. I'm not pretending like I'm making a difference by throwing one punch and then running away to hide! I found out that Sentinel is rotten today, and I'm going to make him pay for it! TODAY!"

"Bear witness! This is the last time I show mercy! Decide right now! You can stay here in hiding, bowing before your pathetic leader, or follow me as we march on Iacon and I take down Sentinel ONCE AND FOR ALL!"

"This isn't over... Prime!"

"Sentinel, the betrayer, is dead. But his death has given life to a new enemy, a stronger enemy, a personal enemy. We will not be blinded by his deception! We are the ones who are... DECEPTICONS! RISE UP!"

"[in a mid-credit scene, B-127 returns to his old workplace in sublevel 50; to his manequins "friends" EP-508, A-A-Tron, and Steve] Hey, guys! Great news, the Energon’s back! And I have a cog and I can transform! [putting Steve's head back in place] It’s a long story. I’ll fill you in later. Oh! And here’s the best part. My hands are straight-up knives. Watch this. Knife hands! (summons his energon blades, only to impale two of the heads of A-A-Tron and Steve by accident) (tragically) NOOOOOO!!!!"

"We can transform now!"

"(after she and Orion successfully expose the truth about Sentinel) Pax, we did it!"

"I'm better than you in every way, except you have hope. You always have you went back into the mine to rescue Jazz, you snuck up to the surface to find the Matrix of Leadership."

"Now, are you spies... or just incompetent lackeys?"

"Enough! Two options for you! One: We slowly dismantle each of you one bolt and screw at a time, and really make sure you feel it. Or two: In exchange for a quick death, you give us intel on the Energon trains, access to the mines or anything else that could hurt your boss, Sentinel Prime!"

"(after D-16 manifests his Fusion Cannon for the first time, and threatens to shoot Starscream in his head) PLEASE! I BEG YOU!"

"You think you can just insult me and just walk away? No one leaves here unless I say so."

"(seeing Orion Pax and D-16 in the Iacon-5000 race) I'm sorry, are those... miners in the race?"

"All hail Megatron!"

"[From the trailer] For thousands of years, we have been at war. But before we were enemies... we were like brothers."

"Like you said, we can be so much more."

"You have not been saved! You've been living a lie. I saw the truth with my own eyes. Come - I will show you."

"ARISE! Optimus Prime."
