Raf's Notes

“At the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other.”

“One - don’t you ever touch me again. Two - don’t you ever touch me again.”

“Where is my goddamn shoe?”

“You’re serious? You - You would do that for me?”

“To fight monsters, we created monsters.”

“Numbers do not lie. Politics and poetry, promises, these are lies.”

“I am not wrong, but there is something here we don’t understand.”

“I’m sure you can appreciate how important this moment is to me.”

“Wait. I think this guy’s dead. But let’s check for a pulse.”

“Hey. Hey, handsome. Oh, I’m gonna miss you.”

“We can either sit here and do nothing or we can grab those flare guns and go out there and do something really stupid.”

“This isn’t a refuge. This is - This is a buffet line! He knows I’m here. He knows I’m here!”

“I asked you not to refer to me by my first name when I’m around others.”

“You rescued her. You raised her. But, you’re not protecting her now. You are holding her back.”

“The world is coming to an end. So where would you rather die?”

“Now, you and I are the only thing standin’ between that ugly bastard and a city of 2 million people!”

“Today, we are canceling the apocalypse!”

“I don’t love them, okay? I study them.”

“No, you don’t understand, he’s trying to get me! He knows I’m here and he’s trying to get me!”

“You like the name? I took it from, uh, my favorite historical character and my second-favorite Szechuan restaurant in Brooklyn.”

“Hey! Guess who’s back, you one-eyed bitch?”

“We always thought alien life would come from the stars, but it came from deep beneath the sea; a portal between dimensions in the Pacific Ocean.”

“When I was a kid, whenever I’d feel small or lonely, I’d look up at the stars. Wondered if there was life up there.”

“I do not need your sympathy or your admiration. All I need is your compliance and your fighting skills.” 

“Fortune favors the brave, dude.”

“You’re squeezing me too tight.”

“You got that right, Kiddo.” He gave a small amused chuckle.

“Ah I see. Well you’ve met yet another one~” His general body language translated that he was quite relaxed and perhaps even laid back. 

His expression soured for a moment.  “Unfortunately.”

And yes.  Meeting Starscream in his universe was unfortunate.

For now it seemed like this Starscream wasn’t quite as bent on the destruction of humans and Autobots though, so Raf was beginning to relax. The mention of Cybertronian weaponry, however, made his blood run cold.

“Cybertronian weaponry?  Wait...why would they attack you?” (Besides the obvious “being a Decepticon” reason, he thought to himself).

“Gunmax?  Nice to meet you.  I’m Raf.”

He had so many questions he wasn’t sure where to start.  He’d never met a sentient robot that wasn’t a Cybertronian!
