Line 31:
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Jetstorm.
* [[Art Evolution]]: A step up even from the last few episodes of [[Beast Wars]], and [[Dull Surprise|Energon's CGI]] made it look even better in hindsight.
* [[Back From the Brink]]: When the group arrives on Cybertron, Megatron has pretty much [[The Bad Guy Wins|already won]] and conquered the planet. The heroes are soon [[Mode Lock|Mode Locked]]
* [[Book Ends]]:
** The very first shot is an organic flower, which is crushed underfoot by a tank drone. In the final episode, Botanica causes a bunch of the same flower to bloom across Cybertron, and the very final shot is one of them.
Line 69:
** A subtle example in the opening sequence. {{spoiler|the last thing we see before the title is a zooming-out view of Cheetor standing alone, hinting at his promotion to [[The Hero]] at the end of the show.}}
* [[Forgot I Could Fly]]: {{spoiler|Megatron, while suffering a ''[[Disney Villain Death]].''}}
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: [[Beast Wars]] was ''legendary'' for this. ''
** In "Home Soil," Thrust clearly gives Optimus The finger (helps that he only has three on each hand). Optimus is unamused.
** In the same episode, we have Blackarachnia ''checking herself out'' in the background before glaring at Botanica. Feeling inadequate, Legs?
Line 103:
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Ultimately subverted. Blackarachnia is the sole female character for the first season and half of the second, but is then joined by Botanica. Strika, a female Vehicon general appears an episode after Botanica makes her appearance.
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: Jetstorm and Thrust, Strika and Obsidian.
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Cheetor, as part of his promotion from [[The Chick]] in ''[[Beast Wars]]'' to [[The Lancer]] in ''
** Silverbolt, too. Goes from a [[Knight in Shining Armor]] who was only really dangerous if you [[Berserk Button|hurt Blackarachnia]] to an angsty [[Anti-Hero]] who ''mows'' down Vehicon soldiers.
** Thrust is perhaps the greatest example of this in the whole Transformers mythos. {{spoiler|He. Used. To. Be. [[The Chew Toy|Waspinator]].}} Seriously, I'm not making any of this up.
