Line 28:
* [[Bizarro Universe]]: While the original comic depicts a straight-up [[Mirror Universe]], the prose and later comics tend more towards this.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|Bunny Ears Soldier]]: The Decepticons, oh so much.
* [[Character Blog]]: Ravage has his own [http://twitter.com/ravagekitteh Twitter] ("Yatter", in-universe), [http://www.facebook.com/people/Ravage-Sg/1178801320 Facebook], and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120702134757/http://www.formspring.me/sgravage Formspring] pages.
** Starscream also has his own [http://twitter.com/sgstarscream Twitter] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20110425231705/http://www.formspring.me/sgstarscream Formspring] pages; but these aren't as 'official' as Ravage's is (and also a bit less active). Still entertaining, and some of his answers are hilarious.
* [[Crapsack World]]: Cybertron is a planet-sized junkyard with big patches of it on fire, newborn Transformers are granted their [[Our Souls Are Different|embers]] by a malevolent computer, there's no Matrix, the Earth suffered through [[World War III]], the United States is an oppressive, power-hungry fascist regime, and that's just for starters.
* [[Crossover]]: The US President, Vice-President, and Secretary of Defense are mirrorverse versions of [[G.I. Joe]] characters.
Line 39:
* [[Evil Twin]]: And good twins. And WTF twins.
** Interestingly, the characters tend to have the color schemes of their G1 equivalents' Evil (or Good) Counterparts. The Technobots and Terrorcons, for instance.
** Also interestingly, there seem to be counterparts to characters from many different continuities. A heroic [[Transformers Armada|Demolishor]] and a villainous [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Side Burn]] both show up despite neither character having any roots in G1. {{spoiler|Turns out it's because they're bizarre non-Cybertronian agents of the Underbase.}}
* [[Expy]]: This may be a simple side-effect of their flipped personalities, but Starscream and Cyclonus appear to be based on each other's G1 counterparts.
* [[Five-Man Band]]: The components of Nexus Prime fit this surprisingly well, considering each character was developed/introduced individually.
Line 48:
** [[The Chick]]: Breakaway, who serves as the team's medic due to his healing power, is ever optimistic and trusting, and tries to provide emotional support and pep talk anyone who's feeling down or discouraged. He even ends up as a [[Dude in Distress]] at one point.
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]
** {{spoiler|Alpha Trion spent some time in the ''[[Transformers:
** Cliffjumper is from ''[[Transformers Classics]]''.
** ''Shattered Glass Animated''. That is all.
* [[Kent Brockman News]]: The [[Show Within a Show]] side comic ''Around Cybertron''.
* [[Kill Sat]]: The United States has one.
* [[Lampshaded Trope]]: This happens fairly frequently, usually via ''Generation 1'' Cliffjumper's complaints about his new home universe.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: The Autobots have several (with Wheeljack in particular being almost the perfect epitome of the trope). The Decepticons have several ''friendly'' ones.
* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: There's only a small number of official "Shattered Glass" toys available, so the various authors took to officially "repurposing" figures from other Transformers toylines to represent various Shattered characters. Several fans have also taken it upon themselves to hand-craft the official redecos for other characters.
Line 72:
* [[Science Hero]]: Professor Arkeville and his three equally human interns, who generally make up for their squishiness with ingenuity and gadgetry. Also [[Absent-Minded Professor]] Starscream, who's more likely to science his way out of a situation than outright fight.
* [[Ship Tease]]: In "Transhuman" Rick finally admits his crush on Sephie, and while she doesn't outright reciprocate, she doesn't reject him either. She instead seems kind of flattered/pleased, and later energetically defends his honor when the Autobots insult him in a battle.
* [[Shout-Out]]: During the sequence when Ricochet is explaining in great detail to Megatron the [[No Kill Like Overkill|five death traps he has ready]], one could insert the voice of [[
** Soundwave [[And I Must Scream|has no mouth]]...yet he must [[The Power of Rock|rock]].
* [[Skewed Priorities]]: After spending much of "Transhuman" bravely battling against robots in life-or-death situations with no problems, Sephie finally [[Heroic BSOD|Heroic BSODs]] at the end of a battle... upon finding out she's been fired. {{spoiler|And by a boss which she had just been battling against because he betrayed her and the Decepticons.}} Rick even gripes at her about it.
