Transformers (sequel trilogy)

Prolouge
Robotic activity is detected on Earth's moon. The news makes its way to the Oval Office of the White House, and when the president turns to face the audience, it is none other than John F. Kennedy. The year is 1961. This contact spurred the space race and JFK's insistence that the US be the first to get to the moon.

Present day
This movie could take place more than 2 years after "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" due to Bay hiring John Malkovich to play Sam's boss and with Optimus and Bumblebee getting makeovers.

Thrives on wheeling and dealing, works for his own personal material advancement. A one-robot "black market".

Trypticon participates in the final battle, where he fights his equally strong rival, Omega Supreme.

Unicron
Voiced by Leonard Nimoy, the Universal Dominator Unicron transforms from Chaar, Cybertron's moon. His role in the film is basically similar to his G1 and Unicron trilogy counterparts. We learn that it is Unicron who manipulated the Fallen to betray the Dynasty of Primes, and in a sense, created the Decepticons - the real puppet master behind the whole thing. Inside Unicron is where Optimus Prime and Galvatron's final battle will take place. But first Unicron creates a clone of Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime (voiced by Neil Kaplan), transfroms from a heavy armored Mack fuel truck, to test him and the power of the Energon Saber.

Quotes
(Autobots and N.E.S.T. soldiers see the Dinobots in their dino forms in front of them) Lennox: "Should we blast 'em, Optimus?" Optimus Prime: "Keep that option open, but hang on." Grimlock: "Attention, Autobots and humans. We are Dinobots. (points to Snarl) Him Snarl." (Snarl transforms from his Triceratops form into his robot form) Grimlock: (points to Sludge) "Him Sludge." (Sludge transforms from his Brachiosaurus form into his robot form) Grimlock: (points up at Swoop) "Him Swoop." (Swoop transforms from his Pteranodon form into his robot form and lands on the ground) Grimlock: (after transforming from T-Rex form into robot form) "And me Grimlock. My team and me have left Decepticons to join your group...as leader." Sideswipe: (laughs) "What? Did I hear the word...leader?" Ironhide: "This bot's got bearings of chrome steel." Grimlock: "Me Grimlock hereby challenge you, Optimus Prime, to one-on-one battle. The winner will lead Autobots, and loser be destroyed." Optimus Prime: "I don't want to fight you." Grimlock: "You Optimus have no choice! Your command center back there, and no one cross this bridge until you Optimus Prime face me Grimlock." Optimus Prime: "This is foolish, Grimlock. I don't know what happened between you and my brother..." Grimlock: "Him Megatron fall as soon as me Grimlock have your Autobots at me Grimlock's command." Optimus Prime: "You and your Dinobots are welcome to join us, but you shall not lead, Grimlock!" Grimlock: "Me Grimlock beg to differ. (unsheathes sword) Arm yourself, Optimus Prime." Optimus Prime: (unsheathes his swords) "So be it."

Optimus Prime: (after Grimlock tossed him off the bridge) "What are you doing? You'd have won." Grimlock: "You Optimus slipped. To defeat you in such a manner would be lacking in honor. Me Grimlock prefer to beat opponents in old fashioned way." (swords clash) Optimus Prime: "For a Decepticon, Grimlock, you have qualities I could like." Grimlock: "And you Optimus Prime have proved to be worthy opponent."

(After fending off Megatron's attack) Optimus Prime: (to Grimlock) "So...shall we continue our battle?" Grimlock: (sheathes sword) "There no need for battle, Optimus Prime. This only test to see if you really were as honorable as me Grimlock heard. You Optimus truly are noble leader. Me Grimlock would be honored to fight by your side against your brother Megatron and Decepticons." Lennox: (to the other Dinobots) "What about the rest of you?" Snarl: "Me Snarl go wherever leader Grimlock go." Sludge: "Me Sludge help in anyway possible." Swoop: "Me Swoop offer me flying ability to you, your Autobots and human friends, Optimus Prime." (Autobots nod heads in agreement) Optimus Prime: "Then it's unanimus. We welcome you Dinobots to our team here on Earth." (Optimus and Grimlock shake hands in agreement)

Omega Supreme: "I...am...OMEGA SUPREME!"

Grimlock: "Me Grimlock no bozo, me KING!"

Megatron: "What's in it for me?" Unicron: "I will provide you with a new body, and a new means to battle the powerful Omega Supreme. But in return, you and your Decepticons now belong to me." Megatron: "I bow only to the will of Megatronus Prime the Fallen! I rufuse to betray him!" Unicron: (Roars) "DO NOT AROSE THE WRATH OF THE GREAT AND POWERFUL UNICRON!! I made Megatronus Prime who he was - therefore you will obey me! Otherwise, you can proceed on your way to oblivion! Do I make myself clear?!" Megatron: "Very well, master. I will do as you say." Unicron: "Good. Goooooood." (Megatron feels his body changing, causing him pain. Soon his body is completely changed, and he kneels before Unicron) Unicron: "Excellent. You will make a powerful servant, a powerful commander of your forces. You are no longer Megatron. You are now...Galvatron!" Galvatron: "Thank you, my master. (stands up and looks at himself) I like this new body - it feels right. I feel strong and powerful!" Unicron: (about Skywarp and Thundercracker) "And these shall be your minions." (Skywarp and Thundercracker scream in pain as their bodies change into new Decepticons) Unicron: "He who was once Skywarp is now the new Aerospace Commander, Cyclonus, second only to your general, Shockwave. And the one who was once Thundercracker is now the Commander of your new Sweep forces, Scourge." Cyclonus / Scourge: (bowing to Galvatron) "We function only to serve you, Mighty Galvatron." Unicron: "And now your ship, the Nemesis shall be a force to be reckoned with. (Galvatron looks on as the Nemesis begins pulsatating with Unicron's energy and begins to take on the shape of the Godzilla-esque creature) Behold...Trypticon!" Trypticon: (roars) "I will rip open Omega Supreme and every other Autobot until they are destroyed!!" Galvatron: "I like your style. You will make an excellent weapon against our enemies." Unicron: "Now go, my Decepticons, and destroy!!" Galvatron: "For the glory of the Decepticons! Hail Megatronus Prime the Fallen! Hail Unicron!" Shockwave: "Hail mighty Galvatron!" Other Decepticons: "Hail Megatronus Prime the Fallen! Hail mighty Galvatron! Hail Unicron!"

Primus: "Until all are one!"

Sky Lynx: "Have no fear! I, Sky Lynx, will save the day!"

Optimus Prime: "Grimlock, I leave you, Sentinel and Elita-1 in command. I have a score to settle with Galvatron." Grimlock: "Me Grimlock understand, Optimus." (Elita-1 rolls over and hugs Optimus) Elita-1: "Please come back safely." Optimus Prime: (returning Elita's hug) "I will return, Elita. For you, and everyone here. (stands back) Take care of yourselfs." Sentinel Prime / Grimlock / Elita-1: "'Til all are one." Optimus Prime: "'Til all are one. SUPER MODE!!" (Prime's trailer transforms into his new battle armor as he takes flight into space)

Optimus Prime: (upon arriving inside Unicron) "As I said before, one shall stand - one shall fall." Galvatron: "Why throw away your spark so recklessly, Prime?" Optimus Prime: "That's a question you should ask yourself, Galvatron." Galvatron: "I'll crush you with my bare hands, FOR GOOD THIS TIME!!"

Primus: (from beyond) "Arise, Optimus Prime." Optimus Prime: "Primus..."

Optimus Prime: (places the Matrix into the Energon Saber's hilt) "Now...light our darkest hour!"

Trivia

 * "The Touch" by Stan Bush will play in the end as Optimus Prime in his Super Mode defeats Galvatron forever, and as he is about to destroy Unicron as well, similar to "The Transformers: The Movie". Unicron's destruction will be similar to the second Death Star's in "Return of the Jedi", complete with a shockwave (or Praxis effect) as the explosion occurs. Optimus Prime will also manage to escape, but barely.
 * The Dinobots' bodies will be similar to the Transmetal many Maximals and Predacons recieve in the Beast Wars series.
