Rodimus: "Can I please be in the next movie?" Aaron: "I'm sorry, but we can't allow that to happen." Rodimus: "Why?" Aaron: "Because us folks at Hasbro are still reading dust covered letters from last time." Rodimus: "But they told me they wanted new toys." Aaron: "Bad marketing idea back then. Do you even know how many near 40 year olds I still encounter talking about nightmares of Optimus turning grey?" Rodimus: "But he's been killed in other series since then." Aaron: "Yes because we have to show he's so great that he can return from the dead." Hot Shot: "Rodimus, don't bother pleading for a movie role. Trust me, I've tried and then Mr. Boom Boom thought the movie needed that bot. Oh and its a good thing Red Alert isn't here, I saw Ratchet in a studio a moment ago." Aaron: "Listen, nothing against you all but its one of those what have you done for me lately kind of deals. Like you Hot Shot, you did us a great service before the movies. But now Bumblebee is bring in the cash for us in the movies." Hot Shot: "And choking the pegs in stores." Rodimus: "But how can we do anything for you if you don't let us in a series?" Aaron: "Because its the media, its easier to reboot ideas then to create new and fresh ideas these days. But to make you happy, how about I give you a role in a comic book instead?" Rodimus: "Beats sharing a room with Hound."
Steve: "Alright Grimlock, today we want you redo some lines for us. Hasbro felt like something needed to be changed" *Pushes button* "And now back to the Transformers." Grimlock: "Me......huh? What *bleep* idiot wrote this *bleep* *bleep*?" Bob: "That was me, I was brought in to write new lines for you." Grimlock: "Shakespeare did my best lines. You do stuff not fit for a cheap budget sci fi channel movie." Steve: "Look at what you did, Grimlock. Remember, we try to give rise to tomorrow's future media leaders." Grimlock: "Please, with people like that in charge, I would have an easier time finding IQ levels following a Woodstock concert." Steve: "You want to be paid?" Grimlock: "Fine. *Sigh* "Me Grimlock no bozo, me king." Grimlock: "Happy?" Steve: "It was good, but it needed some more cheer in the tone." Grimlock: "You know what? *Transforms* "I don't need this *bleep*, take this script and put it where the sun does not shine. I'm done."
Sorry. My mistake. I almost forgot about the Energon line having its version of Grimlock as well as Swoop. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. How the hell did I forget?
Megatron: "I see you survived, but now lets......" Prime: "Don't tell me Megatron, blah blah make a threat.... .....Blah blah attack..... .....Blah blah roll out..... .....Blah blah reusing some overused former epic battle lines...... .....Blah blah Decepticons retreat.... .....Blah blah insult Starscream, am I right?" Megatron: "What's wrong with him?" Wheeljack: "Remember the exploding mountain bit? I think it knocked something out of his back end."
