"I doubt it is more than a few, or else our scanners would have detected far more activity than they did...but even a handful of Cybertronians could pose a serious threat to Mintaka Industries. And Megatron himself is quite formidable. He has a clarity of purpose to him that makes him particularly dangerous. I do not doubt that he would go to extraordinary lengths to obtain the formula."

He cannot be begged or bargained with; we cannot appeal to his ego to soften him. He says he would raze this building to the ground if he felt it necessary. I believe him."
