You didn't pound Megatron into
scrap when you had the chance ...
342
00:19:10,981 --> 00:19:13,015
many chances, in fact!
343
00:19:13,083 --> 00:19:17,119
You might as well use your
drill to finish me.
344
00:19:17,187 --> 00:19:20,188
What are you waiting for?
Think of the glory?
345
00:19:20,257 --> 00:19:23,859
Seize the day.
Optimus would.
346
00:19:23,927 --> 00:19:26,061
No, he wouldn't.
347
00:19:26,130 --> 00:19:28,163
So, tell me, Optimus ...
348
00:19:28,232 --> 00:19:33,669
do you intend to take me alive or
end this here and now?

00:19:34,538 --> 00:19:37,139
Prime has recently proven
he's willing to go further than
351
00:19:37,207 --> 00:19:41,309
ever to protect humanity.
Optimus Prime is a true patriot.
352
00:19:41,378 --> 00:19:45,147
He and his team continue to risk
their lives, day in and day out,
353
00:19:45,215 --> 00:19:47,749
asking absolutely nothing in return.
354
00:19:47,818 --> 00:19:52,287
If you don't survive, Optimus,
I fear neither will this planet.
355
00:19:52,356 --> 00:19:53,355
Very well.
356
00:19:53,424 --> 00:19:58,060
The simple fact is, Prime doesn't
have a bad circuit in his body.
357
00:19:58,128 --> 00:19:59,294
Move it, gramps!

Agent Fowler, is that really necessary?
360
00:20:04,668 --> 00:20:08,136
As liaison to the Autobots,
I strongly caution that now would
361
00:20:08,205 --> 00:20:12,374
be the worst time to call
Prime's dedication into question.
362
00:20:12,443 --> 00:20:16,044
We're on the verge of an even
greater threat than we faced before.
363
00:20:16,113 --> 00:20:19,881
The Decepticons are on the hunt for
long-buried relics from Cybertron.
364
00:20:19,950 --> 00:20:23,218
Preliminary intel suggests they
could be sacred objects with
365
00:20:23,287 --> 00:20:27,055
mystical properties or weapons
of mass destruction.
366
00:20:27,124 --> 00:20:30,025
- Mystical?
- Uh, strike that, too!
367
00:20:30,094 --> 00:20:32,160
The point I'm trying to make
here is ...
368
00:20:32,229 --> 00:20:33,228
Ugh!
369
00:20:33,297 --> 00:20:35,397
Hold on!

Agent Fowler, have you
uncovered M.E.C.H. agents?
373
00:20:47,811 --> 00:20:51,513
No. They're okay.
General Bryce here just needs
374
00:20:51,582 --> 00:20:54,649
to confirm the state of your
health and welfare.
375
00:20:54,718 --> 00:20:59,321
I am fine, General Bryce.
How are you?
376
00:20:59,389 --> 00:21:02,126
I'm well, uh, soldier.
377
00:21:05,227 --> 00:21:10,699
Bill... I believe I have everything
I need to make a persuasive case
378
00:21:10,768 --> 00:21:13,535
that Optimus Prime is, indeed,
alive and well...
379
00:21:13,604 --> 00:21:16,104

00:21:16,173 --> 00:21:20,342
- We appreciate your support, sir.
- Dismissed.
