=== Tropes associated with Actas: ===
* [[Animation Bump]]: Occasionally
* [[Butt Monkey]]: To Transformers fans, alongside AKOM.
* [[Conspicuous CG]]: Present in ''Tactical Roar'', ''éX-Driver'' and ''Transformers Energon'' (mocked constantly for the latter).
* [[Executive Meddling]]: [[Cartoon Network]] is partially to blame for the animation in ''Transformers Armada''.
* [[Medium Blending]]: See Conspicuous CG.
* [[Off-Model]]: A reason why they're mocked by Transformers fans. Some consider them to be worse then AKOM. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abgq0gxIfFk This would be a great example] (Skip to 14 seconds and watch the magic happen).
