• 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.

• 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 : Can you reactivate her Maximal programing?

  Rhinox : It's tricky and dangerous. It could dump her entire core and leave her a blank.

  Optimus Primal : And if we do nothing.

  Rhinox : She'll be a Predacon forever.

  Optimus Primal : That might be too big of a risk to take right now. Let's go find her.

  Blackarachnia : [listening in]  So that's the way it is, huh? Nobody's unzipping this girl's core.
