The quotes on the transformers tech spec cards tend to over-intellectualize the transformer being depicted. None better at representing this polarization is Swoop the Dinobot. His tech spec quote is:
“Fear can hit targets unreachable to bullets.”
And then in the cartoon he leaves us with these great nuggets of wisdom:
“Me glad me not have stomach to leave!”
“Me Swoop do fancy flying now.”
“Me Swoop no see nothing!”
Here’s some great transformers quotes: http://members.tripod.com/~repowers/quote-g1.html Some of my favs: “Ultra Magnus, a cursory evaluation of Decepticon capability indicates a distinct tactical deficiency.”–perceptor Starscream: “It looks like some kind of… rust!” Megatron: “Impossible! We are rust-proof!” Starscream: “Perhaps you’re made of shoddy materials, Megatron!” Megatron: “That’s ABSURD!!”
i remember that episode where they were rusting. It was classic. It’s hard to beat the banter between Starscream and Megatron.
