The Transformers: The Movie (1986)

Paul Eiding: Perceptor

Quotes 

• Perceptor : I fear the wounds are... fatal.

  Daniel : [long pause]  Prime, you can't die.

  Optimus Prime : Do not grieve. Soon I shall be one with the Matrix.

  Hot Rod : Prime.

  Optimus Prime : Ultra Magnus, it is to you, old friend, I shall pass the Matrix of Leadership as it was passed to me.

  Ultra Magnus : But Prime, I'm... I'm just a soldier. I... I'm not worthy.

  Optimus Prime : Nor was I. But one day, an Autobot shall rise from our ranks, and use the power of the Matrix to light our darkest hour.

  [Optimus Prime opens his chest to reveal the Matrix. Removes it and begins to hand it over to Ultra Magnus] 

  Optimus Prime : Until that day, till all are one.

  [the Matrix starts to fall to the ground. Hot Rod catches it, gives it to Ultra Magnus. Ultra Magnus inserts it inside. Optimus Prime dies] 

• Perceptor : Ultra Magnus, a cursory evaluation of Decepticon capability indicates a distinct tactical deficiency!

  Ultra Magnus : In other words, Perceptor...?

  Springer : We're outnumbered!

• Springer : Kup and Hot Rod just bought it.

  Ultra Magnus : I can't deal with that right now.

  Springer : Face it, Magnus. The Decepticons are going to dog us until they see us dead.

  Ultra Magnus : Then that's exactly what they're going to see. Prepare for emergency seperation.

  Perceptor : That's too dangerous.

  Ultra Magnus : What choice do we have?

• Blaster : Hey, Perceptor, what's shaking? Other than this fortress?

  Perceptor : Blaster, Ultra Magnus sent orders to contact Optimus Prime on Moon Base One!

  Blaster : All right! Cover your receptors, Perceptor!

  [He transforms into a ghetto blaster and broadcasts the message] 

  Blaster : Optimus Prime, do you read me? The Decepticons are blitzing Autobot City, we're really taking a pounding. Don't know how much longer we can hold out.

• Arcee : Did we have to let them detonate three-quarters of the ship?

  Springer : Seeing as how they would have detonated four-quarters, I think it was a good choice.

  Arcee : But then how are we gonna get there in this wreck?

  Ultra Magnus : Perceptor, can you locate a place to set down for repairs?

  Perceptor : Gamma waves in this sector of space create marginal navigation probabilities, however...

  [Ultra Magnus and Springer look impatient] 

  Perceptor : Ahem, yes I believe I can. The planet of Junk is in this vicinity.
