"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..."
— Alpha Trion explaining Cybertron's history.
Orion Pax: Hey Darkwing!
D-16: Don't do it...
Orion Pax: I may not have a cog, but my finger can transform. Guess which one? I'll give you a limited option! [raises his middles finger]
[Darkwing, angered by the gesture, punches Orion, only for D-16 to catch it]
D-16: Excuse me, sir. Allow me. [punches Orion] I apologize on his behalf for the disre—[gets socked by Darkwing] Wwwwhhhyyyy...?!
D-16: Don't do it...
Orion Pax: I may not have a cog, but my finger can transform. Guess which one? I'll give you a limited option! [raises his middles finger]
[Darkwing, angered by the gesture, punches Orion, only for D-16 to catch it]
D-16: Excuse me, sir. Allow me. [punches Orion] I apologize on his behalf for the disre—[gets socked by Darkwing] Wwwwhhhyyyy...?!
—Orion Pax flips off Darkwing for unfairly firing Elita, to D-16's dismay.
D-16: Are you crazy!?
Orion Pax: Sure feels like it!
Orion Pax: Sure feels like it!
— The friendship between D-16 and Orion Pax, summarized in a single quote.
"Now you listen to me, Mr. "Zero-Seconds-Since-My-Last-Accident". I'll go on your little quest 'cause I don't have a choice. But I carry the map, I navigate, and if this leads to nothing, then I'm dragging you and those two idiot go-bots back to Iacon City and to the first supervisor depot we see, at which point, you will explain everything that's happened using words that reflect me in a VERY POSITIVE LIGHT! GOT IT?!"
— Elita ranting at Orion Pax for roping her into his quest to find the Matrix.
"For thousands of cycles, the war with the Quintessons had been a brutal conflict, until Sentinel, the principle aide to the Primes, intercepted an enemy transmission. There was going to be a secret gathering of Quintesson commanders. Their elimination would 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."
—Alpha Trion reveals the truth about Sentinel Prime.
Zeta Prime: Sentinel... why?
Sentinel Prime: For all the power of Cybertron.
Sentinel Prime: For all the power of Cybertron.
— Sentinel Prime reveals his true colors before murdering Zeta Prime.
D-16: You just had to do it, didn't you?
Orion Pax: Me? What did I do?
D-16: You just had to go to the surface, had to enter the Iacon 5000, you just HAD to break protocol!
Orion Pax: Who cares about protocol?
D-16: I do! I care! Because nothing bad happens when you stay on protocol.
Orion Pax: Sentinel Prime has been forcing us to work in the mines until our gears strip. And all the while he's been giving our Energon away to our greatest enemies!
D-16: Ugh, and what do you think he's going to do to us when he finds out that we know?
Orion Pax: I'm not thinking about what he's going to do! I'm thinking about what we're going to do!
D-16: Well, that's the whole thing! You're never thinking about anything else, just yourself! Fantastic! Another "Orion Pax Master Plan", I can't wait to hear this.
Orion Pax: Wait, don't you want to stop him?
D-16: NO, I WANT TO KILL HIM! I want to put Sentinel in chains, and march him through the mines, so everyone can see him for the FALSE PRIME THAT HE IS! I want him to suffer, and then to die, in darkness! But we all know that it doesn't matter what I want, right Pax? The fact is, we're just cogless bots. Right? We had limited options, and now... now, we... have... none.

— The first signs of the friendship between D-16 and Orion Pax fracturing. And it only gets worse for them from here.
Alpha Trion: No son or daughter of Cybertron is born without a cog.
D-16: Oh, yeah. I've been myself since I came online, and this slot's always been empty.
Elita-1: What are you saying? Are you saying...?
B-127: No. No way. Nobody could be that evil, not even Sentinel.
Alpha Trion: He removed your cogs before you came online.
D-16: Oh, yeah. I've been myself since I came online, and this slot's always been empty.
Elita-1: What are you saying? Are you saying...?
B-127: No. No way. Nobody could be that evil, not even Sentinel.
Alpha Trion: He removed your cogs before you came online.
— The reveal that Sentinel Prime removed the transformation cogs of not just the protagonists, but every other miner in Iacon City.
"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."
— Alpha Trion gifting the protagonists with the transformation cogs of four of the Thirteen Primes.
"I... Got... It."
— One of the signs that D-16 is not doing well.
Sentinel Prime: Alpha Trion! You're still alive, would you look at that. You look... horrible.
Alpha Trion: Traitor. You are a disgrace! Primus will surely—!
Sentinel Prime: Uh-huh, yes, shut up. I seized an opportunity to take control of my future. Anything to get out of working for you and that boring Council of Elders. Seriously, I would watch you Primes spend half the day losing a war, and the other half sitting around waxing poetic about "loyalty" and "honor"... and now look at you.
Alpha Trion: Hear my words! You will fall, and a new Prime will rise—
Sentinel Prime: [Raises his blade to Alpha Trion's neck] Here we go again. I don't want to listen to any more speeches. There were others in the cave with you. Who are they?
Alpha Trion: They are to be your undoing. You've lost, Sentinel. Nothing you can do— [An irate Sentinel impales him just as he finishes his last sentence]

— As Sentinel Prime executes the last of the original Primes, Alpha Trion gets the final word and the last laugh.
"I will never trust a so-called "leader"... ever again."
— Another sign that D-16 is not okay when asked about Sentinel.
Starscream: Now, are you spies... or just incompetent lackeys?
Orion Pax: We're not spies.
Elita: [Gestures to Orion] But he is incompetent.
Soundwave: Scanning electrical impulses. He speaks the truth.
Starscream: That just means he believes himself! Like any spy would!
Orion Pax: We're not spies.
Elita: [Gestures to Orion] But he is incompetent.
Soundwave: Scanning electrical impulses. He speaks the truth.
Starscream: That just means he believes himself! Like any spy would!
— Orion Pax and co. meeting the High Guard.
B-127: [Muffled speaking]
Elita: Uh... why is he gagged?
Shockwave: He wouldn't stop talking.
Elita: Even when he was unconscious?
Shockwave: ESPECIALLY WHEN HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS!
Elita: Uh... why is he gagged?
Shockwave: He wouldn't stop talking.
Elita: Even when he was unconscious?
Shockwave: ESPECIALLY WHEN HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS!
— Elita and Shockwave on B-127's restraints.
Elita: Who exactly are you guys?
B-127: [Removes his mouth restraint] The Cybertronian High Guard!
Shockwave: [Growls and glares at Soundwave] I TOLD YOU IT WASN'T TIGHT ENOUGH!
B-127: [Removes his mouth restraint] The Cybertronian High Guard!
Shockwave: [Growls and glares at Soundwave] I TOLD YOU IT WASN'T TIGHT ENOUGH!
—Shockwave
"The idea of a unified Cybertron is a myth! All that counts is the strength of one bot over another!"
—Starscream
Starscream: Hey! What are you doing!?
[Two High Guard members stop D-16 from leaving]
D-16: I'll tell you what I'm not doing. 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! TO-DAY!
Starscream: You think you can insult me and just walk away? No one leaves here unless I say so.
D-16: Is that right? Well, how can you say so... with my head in your teeth?
[Two High Guard members stop D-16 from leaving]

Starscream: You think you can insult me and just walk away? No one leaves here unless I say so.
D-16: Is that right? Well, how can you say so... with my head in your teeth?
— D-16 and Starscream, right before he beats the living scrap out of him.
"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!"
— D-16, as he usurps Starscream as leader of the High Guard.
Elita: Listen to me, I really want you to hear this. Are you listening? I'm better than you.
Orion Pax: Yeah, okay, I'm hearing you...
Elita: 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!
Orion Pax: Oh, yeah, and how'd that work out?
Elita: My point is that your instincts tell you to break protocol for a reason. This blind optimism that you have is why you make such bold and courageous choices. ...that are also extremely stupid.
Orion Pax: First time giving a pep talk?
Elita: You're inspiring. You can envision a better future that no one else can see. If you ever want to see B and D-16 again, that, that is the Orion Pax that we need right now. Listen to me. We can do this.
Orion Pax: Yeah, okay, I'm hearing you...
Elita: 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!

— Elita giving Orion Pax a flawed but successful pep talk.
Soundwave: Attention, High Guard. Prepare for battle. What is our first move?
Orion Pax: [In a dramatic whisper] We roll out.
Skywarp: [In the far back] What?
Elita: Louder!
Orion Pax: TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!
Orion Pax: [In a dramatic whisper] We roll out.
Skywarp: [In the far back] What?
Elita: Louder!
Orion Pax: TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!
— Orion Pax delivering the franchise's most popular catchphrase.
Sentinel Prime: Look at this rowdy bunch! The High Guard! You know, you guys have been tough to find. Every trip to the surface, I've been searching for you.
Airachnid: Tracking the bots to the cave led me right to them.
Sentinel Prime: Oh ho ho! You captured Starscream!
Airachnid: It was too easy.
Starscream: [In a high-pitched, distorted voice] I'm going to rip you apart piece by piece so that your death is painful! And you'll regret the day you e—
Sentinel Prime: [Laughing hysterically] You sound ridiculous! It's weird.
Airachnid: Tracking the bots to the cave led me right to them.
Sentinel Prime: Oh ho ho! You captured Starscream!
Airachnid: It was too easy.
Starscream: [In a high-pitched, distorted voice] I'm going to rip you apart piece by piece so that your death is painful! And you'll regret the day you e—
Sentinel Prime: [Laughing hysterically] You sound ridiculous! It's weird.
— Starscream's attempt to threaten Sentinel Prime doesn't exactly work the way he desires.
Sentinel Prime: Oh, D-16. What a tragic story you'll be. Atop the leaderboard in your sector — and secretly a traitor.
D-16: I'm not a traitor. You're the traitor!
Sentinel Prime: Nuh-uh. You, all of you, are traitors. You've been working with the Quintessons to sabotage my expeditions. You're the reason why I haven't found the Matrix of Leadership yet!
B-127: None of that is true!
Sentinel Prime: Oh, trust me, it'll be very true when I'm executing you in front of all of Iacon. Because down here, the truth is what I make it.
D-16: I'm not a traitor. You're the traitor!
Sentinel Prime: Nuh-uh. You, all of you, are traitors. You've been working with the Quintessons to sabotage my expeditions. You're the reason why I haven't found the Matrix of Leadership yet!
B-127: None of that is true!
Sentinel Prime: Oh, trust me, it'll be very true when I'm executing you in front of all of Iacon. Because down here, the truth is what I make it.
— Sentinel Prime, D-16, and B-127
Sentinel Prime: Well, well. What's this about?
D-16: I'm not kneeling in front of you.
Sentinel Prime: Feeling... confident, are we?
D-16: You don't scare me. You want to know why?
Sentinel Prime: Please!
D-16: Because I don't have anything else to lose. You... took it all.
Sentinel Prime: [Grinning] I sure did. [punches D-16]
D-16: I'm not kneeling in front of you.
Sentinel Prime: Feeling... confident, are we?
D-16: You don't scare me. You want to know why?
Sentinel Prime: Please!
D-16: Because I don't have anything else to lose. You... took it all.
Sentinel Prime: [Grinning] I sure did. [punches D-16]
— D-16 standing up to Sentinel Prime, literally.
Sentinel Prime: Ah, Megatronus Prime! [Removes D-16's Megatronus decal from his shoulder] Of course you were a fan, Megatronus was the coolest Prime! The biggest, the baddest, the toughest! That's why after I killed him... [opens his chest, revealing Megatronus' T-Cog] I took his cog for myself.
D-16: He was greater than you'll ever be!
Sentinel Prime: I don't know, I'm pretty great! But, I can understand why you'd want to wear his face over mine. Here. [Places decal on D-16's chest] Let's make sure it doesn't come off. [Painfully burns a crude imitation of Megatronus' likeness into D-16]
D-16: He was greater than you'll ever be!
Sentinel Prime: I don't know, I'm pretty great! But, I can understand why you'd want to wear his face over mine. Here. [Places decal on D-16's chest] Let's make sure it doesn't come off. [Painfully burns a crude imitation of Megatronus' likeness into D-16]
— Sentinel Prime reveals an extra insulting fact about Megatronus Prime, before carving the symbol into D-16.
Ironhide: You can't be serious! We just worked 22 shifts without a break! These miners need rest and time to repair!
Darkwing: Sentinel Prime wants more Energon! So get back in the mines, before I make you get back in— [gets slugged into the arcade machine]
Darkwing: Sentinel Prime wants more Energon! So get back in the mines, before I make you get back in— [gets slugged into the arcade machine]
— Darkwing gets his long overdue karma by the newly cogged Orion Pax.
Jazz: Is that... Orion?
Orion Pax: Jazz.
Jazz: Is it really you?
Orion Pax: Yeah, I know I look a little... different.
Jazz: Little? There's nothing "little" about you!
Orion Pax: Jazz.
Jazz: Is it really you?
Orion Pax: Yeah, I know I look a little... different.
Jazz: Little? There's nothing "little" about you!
—Jazz commenting on Orion Pax's new look.
Orion Pax: Sentinel is a liar. Look, I know how this will sound coming from me. I was never the most focused miner, but as you can see, everything is different now [opens up his chest to reveal his new T-cog]. I went to the surface and I learned the truth. My friends, we were all born with transformation cogs, and then Sentinel, he stole them from us! He took away our ability to make our own decisions! He stole our freedom! But now, I'm offering you your first real choice: you can work a 23rd shift and mine yourself to death, or fight back against Sentinel with me, right now!
Sideswipe: How are we supposed to do that?
Arcee: We can't fight. We don't have cogs.
Orion Pax: What defines a Transformer is not the cog in its chest, but the Spark that resides in their core. A Spark that gives you the will to make your world better. And that Spark... Sentinel can never take from us!
Jazz: There's not enough of us! We need an army!
Orion Pax: And we have one. Elita is bringing troops. We are not alone in this. If we want to be in control of our own destinies, 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!
[Energized, the room is filled with cheers as the miners begin chanting Orion's name]

— Orion Pax rallying the miners to fight.
"High Guard, eject."
—Soundwave deploying the High Guard against Sentinel's forces.
Sentinel Prime: You pathetic little twits! Did you really think that you could knock down everything I've built?
Orion Pax: It's over, Sentinel! You can't escape the truth!
Sentinel Prime: What truth?! That I plucked the cogs out of your newborn chests? Forced you to mine so that I could pay off the Quintessons and live like a king?! None of that matters! [Transforms into his Battle Mode] Because the truth. Is. What. I. MAKE IT!
Orion Pax: It's over, Sentinel! You can't escape the truth!

— Sentinel Prime showing Orion Pax he's not going down easily.
D-16: What are you doing!?
Orion Pax: It's over, D. Everyone in Iacon knows the truth.
D-16: SO DO I! He took everything from us! I have to do this!
Orion Pax: No, you don't! Rebuilding Iacon cannot begin with an execution!
D-16: He deserves to die! Can't you see that!?
Orion Pax: We're better than this. Don't be like Sentinel.
[A Beat follows as D glares at Orion.]
D-16: Pax... you need to move out of my way, before I move you myself.
Orion Pax: It's over, D. Everyone in Iacon knows the truth.
D-16: SO DO I! He took everything from us! I have to do this!
Orion Pax: No, you don't! Rebuilding Iacon cannot begin with an execution!

— Alpha Trion and the spirits of the Primes rebuilding Orion Pax, rechristening the miner a Prime.
"BURN IT DOWN! ALL OF IT!!!"

Optimus Prime: We could have built the future together.
Megatron: I'll build it myself, after I tear down everyone IN MY WAY! [viciously charges towards Optimus]
— Megatron and Optimus Prime in their first battle.
Optimus Prime: 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... [battle mask opens] ...and you betrayed... me. [Megatron drags himself to his feet, still glaring at his former friend] Go. Take the High Guard, and leave. You are... banished from Iacon. [Megatron's face contorts into shock and remorse before glaring again at Optimus] It didn't have to end this way.
Megatron: This isn't over... Prime. [both he and Optimus glare at each other before Optimus steps aside and lets Megatron limp away] High Guard, follow me! [transforms and leads the High Guard away from Iacon]
Megatron: This isn't over... Prime. [both he and Optimus glare at each other before Optimus steps aside and lets Megatron limp away] High Guard, follow me! [transforms and leads the High Guard away from Iacon]
— Optimus Prime banishing Megatron for his crimes, kicking off their struggle as bitter enemies for eons to come.

— Optimus Prime as he watches Megatron, his former friend, leave Iacon with the High Guard.
Orion Pax: Hey, Megatronus Prime! Nice!
D-16: Ah, yeah. Well, he's my hero.
Both: The greatest Prime to ever live! [both chuckle]
D-16: I'm D-16. [shakes Orion's hand]
Orion Pax: Orion Pax.
D-16: You... ever mined Energon before?
Orion Pax: No. You?
D-16: No. I hear it's dangerous.
Orion Pax: I'll tell you what. You watch my back, I promise to watch yours.
D-16: Alright. Thanks... Pax. [both bump fists]
D-16: Ah, yeah. Well, he's my hero.
Both: The greatest Prime to ever live! [both chuckle]
D-16: I'm D-16. [shakes Orion's hand]

D-16: No. I hear it's dangerous.
Orion Pax: I'll tell you what. You watch my back, I promise to watch yours.
D-16: Alright. Thanks... Pax. [both bump fists]
— The moment D-16 and Orion Pax first met.
"This is the greatest day of my life! I get to work for the government!"
—B-127 after Optimus makes him one of his first lieutenants.
"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."
— Optimus Prime returns the stolen T-cogs to their rightful owners, forms the Autobots, and delivers his first ending monologue.
"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!"
—The rechristening of the High Guard, while Megatron delivers a monologue of his own.
If only they could see me now
If the sky is the limit, I take off
The only way to bring me down, me down, me down, me down, me down
Is for me to stop believin' now
'Cause I'm on my way and they know
There's only one way to fall, so on me, I bet it all
If the sky is the limit, I take off
The only way to bring me down, me down, me down, me down, me down
Is for me to stop believin' now
'Cause I'm on my way and they know
There's only one way to fall, so on me, I bet it all
There's no better time than right now
And if I so happen to fall
I hope you're right there to catch me
'Cause for you, I risk it all
And all I need is all within me
And if I so happen to fall
I hope you're right there to catch me
If I fall
And if I so happen to fall
I hope you're right there to catch me
'Cause for you, I risk it all
And all I need is all within me
And if I so happen to fall
I hope you're right there to catch me
If I fall
