• Silverbolt : You're wrong. They would never do that.

  Blackarachnia : I heard them say it.

  Silverbolt : Oh, thank the matrix. It's Optimus.

  Blackarachnia : I've gotta go. It's been a surge.

• Optimus Primal : You two look scrapped.

  Silverbolt : We had a little encounter with Dinobot. My mistake, really.

  Blackarachnia : Oh, *no way*! I heard you and Rhinox planning to unzip my core so I took off then Dinobot jumped me and Spot rescued me.

  Silverbolt : Is it true, Optimus? Were you planning to reprogram her?

  Optimus Primal : With reprogramming you could be the Maximal you were always intended to be. But the decision to take that step is and always will be yours to make.

  Blackarachnia : You mean I have a choice?

  Optimus Primal : That is the Maximal way. Now let's get you back to base.

• Rattrap : [playing a "Mortal Kombat"-like video game, he's interrupted by Silverbolt]  Have you slipped your circuits there, Bolt? Oh, man, I almost cleared the level!

• Silverbolt : Computer, scan perimeter for unit Blackarachnia.

  [the computer pinpoints her location] 

  Silverbolt : She's headed toward Predacon ground. But why?

  Rattrap : Heh! Obvious, ain't it? I'll tell Optimus.

  Silverbolt : No!

  Rattrap : Hey! Hands off the metal, Sir Drools-A-Lot. I am not in the mood.

  Silverbolt : I'm... I am sorry. Give me a chance to bring her back.

  Rattrap : Wise up, bird-dog. A Pred is a Pred.

  Silverbolt : Well, perhaps. But she's my responsibility. And she would not betray us.

  Rattrap : Heh! And I hate cheese.

  Silverbolt : You trusted the old Dinobot.

  Rattrap : And regretted it, more than once. All right, you got a megacycle.

  Silverbolt : We'll be back sooner. Oh, and Rattrap, thank you.

  Rattrap : Heh!

  [to himself as Silverbolt leaves] 

  Rattrap : Oh, boy. I must have a glitch.

• Blackarachnia : Oh, I get it. You don't trust me either?

  Silverbolt : Blackarachnia, I...

  Blackarachnia : Back off, Bowser. I tried my best to fit in with you Maximals but it just isn't working.

  Silverbolt : That's not true. We've come to think of you as part of the team.

  Blackarachnia : Oh, yeah right. That's why Rhinox and ape-face want to unzip my core.

• Silverbolt : Oh, no. This time you're staying.

  Blackarachnia : Let go of me. I don't want to hurt you but I will.

  Silverbolt : You've already hurt me, but you're going to learn the truth even if... Ow.

  Blackarachnia : Told ya. Ohh, that wasn't such a hot idea.

• Optimus Primal : That is the Maximal way. Now let's get you back to base.

  Silverbolt : Excuse me; that's my job as her commander.

  Optimus Primal : Which we're going to have a long talk about later.
