All of the dialogue in build 3944 is voiced by a placeholder actor. In addition to this, there's some voiced lines which have no equivalent in retail builds. Some of the dialogue was adjusted slightly before final recording.

That smoke. Something's not right. Head over there and investigate further - but be careful, there are Decepticlone patrols in the area. Keep your head down, and keep moving.

This aircraft was shot down by the enemy. Sensors indicate a nearby research center. The humans must have discovered Mini-Con stasis panels and were transporting them when the aricraft was hit. Your next objective is that research center.
|
|
|
|
This area is turning into a flashpoint. The enemy have taken control of the research center, and are seizing Mini-Cons. Get in there, and neutralize the threat.

There is some additional dialogue associated with Optimus Prime. This includes variations of used dialogue and a transmission.

Sensors detect a human research center, surrounded by multiple Mini-Con signals. The humans must have discovered the Mini-Con stasis panels, and were probably in the process of transporting them when the plane was shot down. Find that research center.

This area is turning into a flashpoint. The enemy are raiding that human research center for the Mini-Cons. Get in there, and neutralize the threat.

OPTIMUS PRIME
We’ve intercepted a transmission from the enemy. Relay begun. Stand by.
STARSCREAM
...When will those stupid Autobots learn to scan an alternate mode without wheels?
MEGATRON
You’re an idiot, Starscream. Your air superiority means nothing here. The Mini-Cons are not hidden in clouds.
STARSCREAM
Megatron, if you had allowed me to lead the attack against the Autobots instead of sending your useless Decepticlone army, victory would have been ours.
MEGATRON
Unlike you, Decepticlones obey commands.
STARSCREAM
My undying allegiance is to you, oh mighty Megatron.

Sir, I'm detecting a cluster of Mini-Con signals ahead of your location. We'll get a better analysis of the situation as you move forward.
|
|
|
|
Commander, that smoke is highly irregular. Recommend you investigate, but be careful - there are Decepticlone patrols throughout the area. Evasive maneuvers might be your best option.
|
|
|
|
Commander, analysis of the wreckage indicates enemy activity. I have scanned and located a human research center nearby. The humans must have discovered Mini-Con stasis panels and were transporting them, when the aircraft was intercepted. Proceed to that research center.
|
Retails says "[...] when their aircraft was intercepted."
|
|
|
|
This area is turning into a flashpoint. The enemy have taken control of the research center and have begun Mini-Con acquisition. I am reading multiple signals. Sir, you must neutralize the threat.

We know Cyclonus is in the area, but we can't get an exact lock on him. He may be using the large temple ahead of you as a field HQ. Proceed with caution.

We've picked up a residual trace of Cyclonus. He's inside the temple. Intercept him before he escapes. |
Retail says, "We've picked up a residual energon trace on Cyclonus."

You should have visual confirmation of Cyclonus by now. Perform a thorough scan of the temple interior. There must be a hidden escape route.

We've got a residual trace on Cyclonus. He's entered the temple, but the signal is too weak for us to get his exact coordinates. Enter the temple and find him before he escapes.
|
|

Cyclonus has just emerged at the top of the temple. He must have escaped somehow. Look around, there has to be a shortcut or secret exit. If he can use it, so can you.

The Decepticons are using that warship to deploy their forces within operational dropship range of the Mini-Con sights. If we can knock it out, it will be a serious blow to their invasion strategy. Your objective is to board the vessel, and disable it.
|
|
|
|
This Mini-Con provides you the ability to glide over long distances. This will be ideal for exploring areas which are otherwise inaccessible. Looks like the Decepticons aren't the only ones who can fly, now.
|
|
|
|
Glide to the warship from here. Access the hangar bay via the hydraulic elevators located on the flight deck. Once you are below deck, proceed through the warship through the bridge. When the bridge is secure, begin sabotage procedure.
|
|
|
|
We have established a remote connection to the warship navigation systems and analyzed the data. Its final destination is Alaska. That must be where Megatron has his base. Continue to the bridge and disable this vessel.

Take cover, it's Tidal Wave! You have got to destroy him. His body is heavily armoured, but his head is vulnerable. his height will make it difficult to attack. Try to maneuver into optimal weapon range.

Our sensors detect a strong energon signal at the summit of that mountain. We believe it is the Decepticon base. Megatron has used the rough terrain to his advantage. Head for that lake, we'll update you further when we can. Roll out. |
Retail says "Transform and roll out!"

Waypoint reached. Stay alert, the terrain in this area is perfect for an enemy ambush. Keep moving towards that canyon.
|
|
|
|
Waypoint reached. The enemy are using these canyons as transport corridors to link their defense perimeter to the base. Follow the canyon, but watch for switchbacks in ravines.
|
|
|
|
You must reach the summit. The cliff is too sheer to climb, but you may be able to find a way up the inside of the mountain. You'll have to blast your way through. Good luck. |
Retail cuts "Good luck." from the end of the dialogue.
|
|
|
|
You should have a visual on the enemy base by now. Hm. Keep moving towards the summit, it's got to be there. Proceed with caution, a fall from this height could void your warranty.

There is additional dialogue detailing events and objectives which do not appear in the finished product. There is also a variation of the cliff dialogue.

Crystalized energon... And it's stable as well. Amazing. There must be enough here to power an entire army. And if there's even more on Earth, we could use it to revitalize Cybertron. But if the Decepticons claim it, they could rage absolute war across the galaxy. First the Mini-Cons, and now this. Looks like we might be on Earth for a little bit longer.
