The show ran for three whole seasons, plus season 4, which was just a three-part episode, "The Rebirth". The Japanese version branched off into a different continuity right after the end of the third season, replacing "The Rebirth" with ''[[Transformers Headmasters]]''.
The continuity of this series provided the basis for ''[[Transformers: Wings of Honor]]''.

* [[Action-Hogging Opening]]
Line 33:
* [[Big Bad]]: Megatron (who later becomes Galvatron)
* [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: Astrotrain and Blitzwing in the episode "Triple Takeover". Blitzwing actually fared the better of the two, until Megatron returned and reasserted himself.
** Arguably Galvatron and Zarak in season 4.
* [[Back
* [[BLAM Episode]]: Quite a bunch, most notably 'Carnage in C Minor', 'The Core', and the absolutely terrible B.O.T.
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: Unicron's origin as presented in the cartoon, being built by an alien scientist, was completely ignored in subsequent ''Transformers'' fiction.
* [[Captain Crash]]: While not remarked upon in show, Cosmos is rarely in an episode without crashing into ''something''. One of the few times he got through an episode without it, it seems like Optimus is [[Tempting Fate]] by sending him out into space a third time in a day.
* [[Cartoon Crossover]]: The episode "Only Human" featured a character who's clearly [[G.I. Joe|Cobra Commander]]. Also, Marissa's father seems to be Flint, also from ''[[G.I. Joe]]''.
** [[Word of God]] has confirmed Marissa's parentage (Flint and Lady Jaye)
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Many of the Transformers that didn't die in the movie.
Line 72:
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Naturally, but there are even more humongous mechas with Omega Supreme, Sky Lynx, Metroplex, Trypticon, Fortress Maximus, Scorponok, and Unicron.
* [[Idiosyncratic Wipes]]
* [[Immortality]]:
** [[The Ageless]]: Transformers don't seem to die from old age.
** [[Complete Immortality]]: There was also Starscream's ghost.
* [[Ineffectual Death Threats]]
Line 104:
* [[Transforming Mecha]]
* [[Turned Against Their Masters]]: The backstory of the Transformers and the Quintessons
* [[TV Genius]]: Grimlock became one during the episode "Grimlock's New Brain".
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: [[The Movie]] was set in 2005. Season 3 was set in the year after.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: Cyclonus towards Galvatron. Unlike [[The Starscream|other Decepticon second-in-commands]].
