This mission, Dinobot, is to gain technical advantage by taking out their base. Defeating them does not mean we have to annihilate them. You seem to have trouble understanding that.

What I understand is this. If situations were reversed, Megatron would spare the base and annihilate...

It's us.

This eagerness of yours to scrap Megatron is clouding your judgment.

We are at war, Optimus! War! I think it is your judgment that is crowded!

...

Optimus!

They're harmless little scanning relays. All they're supposed to do is detect the Pred energy signatures. Right, Rhinox? I'm with Optimus on this one. Energon's an untested variable. We gotta be careful.
