In a short amount of time, ''[[Transformers Prime (Animation)|Transformers Prime]]'' has shown itself to be one of the darkest incarnations of ''[[Transformers (Franchise)|Transformers]]''.
* Starscream's murdering of Cliffjumper. Usually one of the good guys dying in a kids series is rare or dramatic. Not here. A villain simply tears out a vital organ and casually orders his goons to clean it up ''in the first ten minutes of the series''.
* Zombie Cliffjumper in the second episode of "Darkness Rising".
Line 7:
* Fowler's interrogation in episode 4 was pretty messed up too. Never thought Starscream could be [[Not So Harmless|that menacing]]. Primus almighty.
** When the kids get mixed up in an Autobot vs. Decepticon fight for the first time. The scene is much scarier than it is cool: the first explosion [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|muffling the sound]], Vehicons getting their heads ripped off while all of the robots are inches off from stomping the kids in the chaos... and the camera is positioned at Raf's height, showing just how much worse of a war zone, nay a ''scuffle'' between giant robots is from a human's perspective.
* "Starscream is scary" nothing. [https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=993967863307&oid=119249468124144&comments Meet the Scraplets.] (Think [[Hellboy (Filmfilm)|tooth fairies]], but [[Killer Rabbit|mechanical]]. And scarier.)
** The fact that they're incredibly tiny and ''caused three Autobots to pull their guns out on '''one''''' should tell you something about them.
** Bulkhead's description of what they do to a Transformer is truly terrifying:
Line 51:
* Megatron sees a hallucination of Unicron. He's very realistic due to the fact that a character's worth of detail is being poured into making a quarter of his face. And he's looking [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|straight at you.]]
** The preview for "One Shall Rise., viewable [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgiI5ss1UxI here].
* Now "One Shall Rise" has aired its first part. {{spoiler|Unicron is waking up. The Earth formed around him, and if he wakes up and stretches his legs, he WILL destroy us}}. Worse is his ability to make himself out of bits of rock. Destroy one of his rock forms, he'll make [[Send in Thethe Clones|many]] [[I Am Legion|copies]] and control them all, then beat the ever-loving crap out of you.
** [[Complete Monster|He's also inconsiderate of the humans living around him]]. He thinks we're all parasites, and it's not going to be hard to exterminate them.
** Megatron's [[Evil Laugh]], which is ''completely terrifying''.
*** He sounds so ''happy''. Like, "Hooray, it's my birthday!" happy. Brrrrrrr.
** Oh, and let's not forget that Unicron looks horrifyingly demonic, possibly even more so than he did in [[Transformers: theThe Movie|his debut appearance]]. Very fitting that the Chaos Bringer should look like the devil.
** In other words, {{spoiler|Unicron IS Earth}}. Remember when you were a kid watching Transformers and the thought of a planet sized monster from space was scary? Well, {{spoiler|you've been living on one your whole life!}}
* At the end of "One Shall Rise, Part Two", {{spoiler|Unicron is the Earth's core}}. The fact was established beforehand, but seeing it for the first time is creepy. Then there's a giant eye that suddenly reactivates, stares round for a few seconds, then stares [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|straight at you]].
Line 61:
* The season 2 opener has {{spoiler|Knock Out engraving a Decepticon symbol onto ''an [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|amnesiac]] Optimus Prime''.}}
* See all that debris laying around on {{spoiler|Cybertron}}? Look closer: That right there is an arm. And over there's a leg, and over there ...
* The [[Big Creepy -Crawlies|Insecticons]] are basically the Cybertronian version of [[Warhammer 40000 (Tabletop Game)|Tyranids]], just serving as Megatron's sentries.
** That [[Hell Is That Noise|wailing noise they make]] when attacking. Geez.
** Even though the Insecticon was bad, his fate was unnerving at best. Remember way back when Bulkhead said that Miko hadn't seen Scraplets devour a bot? Now we have. {{spoiler|To clarify, in their debut episode the Scraplets simply started gnawing on you. In this they all start chewing the Insecticon's joints until it is nothing more than a torso and head shrieking in pain.}}
