Optimus begins the recap, "Previously on Transformers Prime..."

Megatron remarks, "Bravo, Optimus, but this is only a prelude. You may wish to save your strength for the main event."

On the bridge of the Nemesis, Arcee then asks in a voiceover, "All right, where's Fowler?"

Prima answers, "In the brig."

Dylan Darby says to Miko in a cold angered tone, "Miko, let me be crystal clear here: the more you pull stunts like this, the more the Autobots will have to punish you before gradually having you banned from the base, since they actually do have that kind of authority. Pull a stunt like this again, on the other hand, and I'll consult with them the appropriate first punishment. And I guarantee that if you do make me lose my temper, I won't hesitate to gun you down, even at the risk of being sentenced to one hundred years in prison. Are we clear?"

Miko answers with a shiver, "Crystal clear."

After killing the Vehicon Trooper with his guns, Dylan then says while pointing at a computer terminal with schematics for Megatron's Space Bridge, "Miko, take a picture of that, please."

Scared of Dylan since she now knows how dangerous he is when he loses his temper around anyone who makes him furious regardless of how many times that person does make him mad, Miko does so.

Jack then says, "If this was just an average day with the Autobots, Maximals, and Predacons, then I don't want to be a part of it."

Photonblade says, "Jack, this isn't something you can just walk away from. Bad things happen when superheroes or when superhero allies choose to quit before the villains are temporarily or permanently defeated."

Optimus then says, "Jack, putting you and your family and friends in danger by recruiting you and giving you your Iron Man suits while cloning you to turn your clones into Cybertronians for additional reinforcements and leaving them humans for additional Iron Legion members was never our true intentions. However, it is no longer the safety of the six hundred and fifty of you that is at risk, but the safety of all humankind. We will respect your decision if you wish to leave."

Ratchet opens the Ground Bridge and says non-caringly, "No point in long goodbyes, here's the door."

Gallowstalker roars, "MUST YOU BE SO F(bleep!) SPARKLESS AND RUDE TO HUMANS, RATCHET?!"

Gallowstalker storms over to her room.

Zealfist then says as Jack glances at Dylan, "Don't bother, Jack; Dylan said he's in this for the long haul in honor of one of your ancestors who fought in World War I and World War II."

Jack sadly nods in response, and June looks concerned and curious over why Dylan wants to honor their ancestors from her side of the family who fought in the two World Wars.
