Line 23:
* One for Optimus:
{{quote|"Skyquake, STAY DOWN. *punches Skyquake hard in the face*}}
* Bumblebee defeating Skyquake by [[Are These Wires Important?|ripping wires out of the Decepticon]] while in mid-air.
 
== Con Job ==
Line 39:
 
== Speed Metal ==
* Bulkhead and Bumblebee's fight with Breakdown in the parking lot. Special mention goes to 'Bee landing a combo on the much larger Decepticon that ended with a flip kick and Bulkhead using a streetlight to whack Breakdown.
* Optimus blindsiding an escaping Knock Out and running him off the road.
 
Line 73:
== Partners ==
* Bumblebee punching out Airachnid while pretending to be immobilized in "Partners".
* Starscream reverting some of his [[Villain Decay]] by nearly killing Arcee in a fight.
** Arcee herself gets one when she has a [[Heroic Second Wind]] and beats the tar out of Starscream, scarring his face in the process.
 
Line 100:
** Now we know why Starscream never challenged Soundwave. Bad idea.
* Optimus Prime and Megatron have a [[Back-to-Back Badasses]] moment while fighting off {{spoiler|Unicron's antibodies}}.
** Here, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xg44PEJFEc take a look].
* Megatron being able to resist {{spoiler|the power of Unicron}} is pretty darn awesome. {{spoiler|Unicron ends having having to seize control of his body just to get him to do what he wants, and by that point it is too late. }}
{{quote|'''Megatron''': Megatron is commanded by '''NO ONE'''!!}}
Line 109:
=== Season Two ===
== Orion Pax Three Parter ==
* A small bit, but I thought it was cool for Megatron to actually come up with a believable answer to {{spoiler|Orion}}'s question of why the "heroic" faction they belong to are called Decepticons.
* As if we we needed more proof why Soundwave is awesome, he gets another one in "Orion Pax, Part 1". So, Arcee is on a rampage inside the ''Nemesis'' looking for {{spoiler|Optimus/Orion}}, and is on a collision course with Soundwave while racing down a hallway in bike mode. Soundwave's response? Open a GroundBridge mere inches in front of him, just before Arcee runs over him. All while standing there silently. No movement. No speaking. It's like a study in badassery.
** Arcee's rampage itself was still awesome. She manages to take down about ten Vehicons before Soundwave bridges her out.
Line 115:
** His escape wasn't bad either, defeating several air drones and killing the last one by blasting it several times at point blank range. Though admittedly he does get hit and sent crashing down towards the earth.
*** Bonus Points for taking down a jet-mode Vehicon with [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Jet_judo Jet-Judo!]
* The Autobot's raid on the {{spoiler|space bridge}}, complete with Ratchet shushing a 'Con who tried to call for help.
* Jack suits up and {{spoiler|heads out to Cybertron}}. His salute to the others just before he leaves pretty well sums up his character development up to this point.
** Major awesome points go to June for how well she's taking the whole thing.
* Pretty much all of "Orion Pax, Part 3":
* {{spoiler|Orion Pax deletes the works of Project Iacon}} in an effort to deny Megatron the data for several Cybertronian WMD's. [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|Megatron was smart enough]] to back up the data (itself an awesome moment for Megatron), but it's still a very establishing moment for {{spoiler|Orion}} to uphold the same morals, even when facing almost certain death.
** Later, when he {{spoiler|whips out his guns when being kicked around by a pair of Vehicons and quickly kills them.}} Could count as a [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Funny Moment]] given the way he does it.
* Heck, Jack himself got a moment when he absolutely ''destroys'' the rampaging Insecticon by throwing a Scraplet onto it and herding the entire swarm to chew it to rusted little bits. Note this is the same member of a species that knocked ''Arcee'' unconscious, not to mention ''seriously wounded'' '''Megatron''' in single combat later on, and Jack defeated it in ''one'' simple attack.
** And that's ''after'' he faced it with nothing but a length of rebar. "Back ''off'', bug!"
* Megatron's [[Curb Stomp Battle|fight with the Autobots]] at the space bridge, and the way the Autobots [[Determinator|refuse to stay down]].
** Bulkhead tackling Megatron off the platform and slamming him into a wall during said fight.
{{quote|'''Bulkhead''': You're going ''down'', buckethead!}}
Line 138:
* Bulkhead grabbing the {{spoiler|Forge of Solus Prime}} and promptly handing Breakdown his arse was pretty cool, then he goes on to do the same to Knock Out before Megatron intervenes.
** To be fair to Knock Out, he did have Optimus and Arcee on the ropes with the shield generator and would have taken them down if not for Bulkhead's intervention.
* Ratchet {{spoiler|repairing Bumblebee's T-Cog}}. (Doubles as a heartwarming moment.)
 
== Loose Cannons ==
Line 153:
== Nemesis Prime ==
* Optimus Prime vs. Nemesis Prime in its entirety. Especially the end, where {{spoiler|while Silas is distracted, Optimus gets his [[Heroic Second Wind]] and beats the scrap out of his [[Evil Knockoff]], before dropping it through the roof and ''right on top of Silas''}}. Ouch.
* Agent Fowler -- who establishes himself as a [[Retired Badass|retired]] Army Ranger -- infiltrating the MECH base, knocking out several [[Mooks]] along the way, then getting the drop on Silas and fighting him one on one. He loses that fight, yes, but he holds his own at first, {{spoiler|and more importantly, distracts Silas from controlling Nemesis Prime long enough for Optimus to finish it off}}.
** Agent Fowler also has the credential of being the first person to ''make Silas [[Villainous Breakdown|lose his cool]]''.
* On the villainous side, Silas using Nemesis Prime to defeat Bulkhead (easily the second strongest Autobot behind Optimus) in a little under 6 seconds.
Line 174:
'''WHAM!''' }}
** Made especially awesome by the fact that the other Autobots were more than capable of helping out, since they had been taken out of stasis already. Ratchet personally went to retrieve Jack ''[[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|because it's Jack]]''.
* Jack climbed Megatron to get to the fuel dump control. Lemme repeat that: Jack. ''Climbed.'' '''''Megatron.''''' I guess going to another planet to save your own really does something to a person.
** Then he repeats it by climbing Knock Out to grab the data chip. ''When the Decepticons were explicitly reviving from stasis at the time.'' Megatron, at least, was quite neutralized at the time. Knock Out woke up and nearly caught him. He risked being left behind to retrieve the Iacon data.
