B-127/Bumblebee

• Sorry I'm late! Hit a little traffic.
• You're making a mistake. I don't wanna hurt anybody...
• [last spoken words] I'll never talk!
• [to Charlie, speaking from the radio] Thank you so much for giving me my voice.

Optimus Prime

• Autobots, fall back! Get to the tower!
• Cybertron has fallen.
• [to B-127] We will fight on, but we must find refuge first. I've found a planet that's well hidden. Earth. You will travel there and establish a base for us. Once we've gathered the others, we'll join you. You must protect the planet. If the Decepticons find it, then our people are truly finished. Now go!
• Good luck soldier, I'll buy you some time.
• [after Charlie unlocks a message from Optimus] B-127, I pray this message finds you. Our war rages on. Planet Earth... Survival...
• Old friend, you kept this planet safe. Because of you, we have a future, B-127.

Soundwave

• [Jumps down and more Decepticons arrive] Decepticons, attack!
• Ravage, eject!

Shatter

• [arriving on Earth] Earth, how underwhelming.
• Our scanners range is limited. Your infrastructure is primitive. But combined, they could be quite powerful.
• We have a common enemy, Agent Burns. There's a war raging on our planet. If B-127 isn't found, that war may find it's way here.
• No more running! No more hiding! B-127, you're a traitor and a coward. Tell us where Optimus Prime is hiding!
• They're all coming here. This is our chance to wipe out the Autobot Resistance for good.
• [on B-127] His memory cells are fried. Finish him.
• [to Dr. Powell] Thank you for your hospitality, Friend Powell. [to Dropkick] He is all yours.

Dropkick

• [arriving on Earth] The indigenous life is even more primitive than I expected.
• [after disintegrating a human] Hm, I like the way they pop.
• [on B-127] Why isn't he fighting back? Why don't you fight?!

Charlie

• You sound like a little bumblebee. I'm gonna call you that from now on. Bumblebee. It matches your outfit too.
• People can be terrible about things they don't understand.
• Bee, I can't go with you. [tearfully] You've got people out there that need you. And so do I. [pause] I gotta let you go.
• [tearfully] Thank you for... for making me feel like me again. I'll never forget you. [she and Bee embrace] Goodbye, Bumblebee.
• [Bee transforms into a Camaro] No way. Are you kidding me? Are you telling me you could've been a Camaro this whole time? Oh my God!

Memo

• You know, there's this quote that I like. "The darkest nights produce the brightest stars."
