Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers/YMMV


 * Complete Monster: Overlord, again.
 * Macabre, leader of Squadron X, appears to be this - having as he does a necklace of Autobot insignias around his neck, evidently intended to parallel the real-life practice of lunatic soldiers collecting the ears of downed enemies. Wait, sorry, that's a noose, possibly a souvenir from a failed lynching attempt.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: Kick-Off, whose toy was a non-transforming Action Master, is forced to fight a Decepticon gladiator. When delivering the killing blow on his mid-transformation opponent, he announces that "alt modes are for wimps!" It's a simultaneous bad-ass moment and a great Shout-Out to the toyline.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: "Wreckers, combine!" Followed immediately by in one of the series' most incredible Mood Whiplash moments.
 * Evil Is Sexy: Overlord is just about this personified, with his handsome (for a giant robot) looks and campy, charismatic, and theatrical mannerisms. (Doesn't make him any less scary or creepy, however.)
 * Fashion Victim Villain: Subverted, characters up to and including the infamous Skyquake have sane colours. That said, the Predators are still a little garish - Snare's bio notes that this is for camouflage on the strange worlds they've been stationed on in the past.
 * Memetic Mutation: "Wreckers, combine!"
 * Moral Event Horizon:
 * Nightmare Fuel: Plenty of stuff, like
 * Rescued from the Scrappy Heap:
 * Verity Carlo, the most annoying human from Furman's IDW Transformers comics, is actually a pretty likable and funny character.
 * To many fans, Perceptor. All Hail Megatron changed him from a nifty science guy to a stoic, boring sniper. LSOTW consolidates this by bringing back his intellect, and keeping the badass, resulting in a true Badass Bookworm.
 * Running the Asylum: A well-received example. The authors are both Promoted Fanboys, and the series follows a Transformers-exclusive iteration of a rule detailed on the Running the Asylum trope pages: the characters used as OC Stand Ins were available in the UK as toys around the time that the authors were younger, which explains their motivation for rescuing them from eternal obscurity.
 * Selfish Good:

 * Too Cool to Live:
 * Unfortunate Implications:


 * The Woobie: Ironfist gets more Woobie-licious with every issue. It doesn't help that he's the Naive Newcomer.
