"Why do I keep seeing you in my dreams, Optimus? Are you telling me I'm not the leader you were? I already know that, Optimus. I always have."
— Rodimus Prime, "The Return Of Optimus Prime"

 

Bump and Quote! Incidentally, I think this line is the basis for IDW Ultra Magnus' characterization.

Rodimus Prime: "We should have been molten by now. What's going on up there?"
Ultra Magnus: "Sloppiness. Disorganization. As I've tried to teach you, undisciplined thinking can make even the simplest task impossible!"
— "Five Faces of Darkness"

Grimlock: "Me Grimlock no care whole planet fall apart! Make no difference to me Grimlock."

Grimlock: "Huh... Hadn't thought of that."

Whirl: Hold on. Let's be absolutely clear about this. You're just given me permission to take whatever I like from Brainstorm's forbidden toy box? Even the experimental stuff—the stuff that unsettles people?
Rodimus: No, I-
Whirl: Shhh. On second thought, let's keep it ambiguous.

Whirl: I want to tell you a story.
Tailgate: A story?
Whirl: A love story.
Tailgate: Oh, does it have a happy ending?
Whirl: They never do.

Ultra Magnus: You should've put me on the door. I would have turned away any wayward characters.
Rodimus: Magnus, your definition of a wayward character is an Autobot who wears their badge at an angle.
Ultra Magnus: Yes, in direct contravention of the Military Regalia Act!
Rodimus: Sometimes I wonder how you see the world, my friend.

Chromedome: Why are you-?
Brainstorm: Building weapons whilst hanging from the ceiling? Mainly because no one else can. I was hoping Perceptor would walk in.

Bump and Quote!

Misfire: That's how I like my expenations. Hard, fast, and confusing.
Swerve: Yeah. I used to be in the recap business, and that precis did not take any prisoners.
Misfire: It was like being beaten to death with a story so far.
Swerve: A "summary execution."
Misfire: How come we never met?
Swerve: The universe hates winners.

Tailgate: We just spent six hours discussing the relevance of a semicolon. I say 'discussing'—it was more like a thrilling Magnus monologue. I say 'thrilling'—it was actually very, very boring."

Rewind: Nothing tingles like a teleport. How come we don't teleport everywhere, Brainstorm?
Brainstorm: 'Cos it's bad for you.
Rewind: Whereas all those weapons you build—
Brainstorm: —Are bad for other people.

Ultra Magnus: What do we do now? Take his machine apart? Blow it up?
Perceptor: No, that would strand Brainstorm in the past—and quite possibly cement any changes he's made. Will make. Might make.
Rodimus: It's time travel, Percy. Leave your tenses at the door.

Megatron: This conversation is over. We are not taking any action that might harm the innocents trapped inside Primus.
