• Optimus Prime asks Sari how humans make "these new, smaller organics" (i.e. babies). His reaction to what he hears is priceless.
  • "I am Wreck-Gar! I dare to be stupid!"
  • Newly immortal Starscream's death montage.
  • Just about any scene with Blitzwing and Lugnut in it, but especially their first episode.

Blitzwing: "You stepped in something!" *faceswap* "But with a few dancing lessons, you'll soon be as light on your servos as me, cha, cha, cha!"

• • • There was a scene before that as well. Never has "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" been this funny.
    • "I will pound you into sheet metal!" *faceswap* "Wait, we've already got some!"
  • "Ohhh, you're scared of me! BOOGABOOGA!" "AHH!" The best part is probably Jazz's terrified pose.
  • "You interrupted my SPEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!"
  • How about the entirety of "Return of the Headmaster"'s Sentinel-schadenfreude?

Sentinel [as Optimus fights the Headmaster, who has stolen Sentinel's body]: You're enjoying this, aren't you, Optimus? Optimus: [smirks while continuing to pound the Headmaster, which Sentinel can feel]

• • • In the Allspark Almanac databook, a self-serving diary entry from Sentinel Prime makes this even better. "Let me say that again. Optimus. Ripped. My. Arm. Off."
  • Also, "You kicked me! On PURPOSE!"
  • At the end of the Season 2 finale Megatron in stasis cuffs and Starscream's detached head are stuck somewhere in space, unable to do anything but bicker:

Megatron: Stop staring at me. Starscream: No. You stop staring at me! Megatron: Do you think I actually want to spend the rest of eternity gazing at your unsightly visage? Starscream: Trust me: your visage is no picnic either. And your face is ugly too! Megatron: Oh, someone just take me offline now... Starscream: What do you think I've been trying to do for the last four million stellar cycles?!?! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It's funny, really, when you think about it. Tragic, but funny! AHAHAHAHAHA! Megatron: ...oh, shut up.

• And before that:

Starscream: This day couldn't possibly get worse! [Megatron and Blitzwing appear before him] Starscream: I stand corrected. Megatron: Staaaarscreeeeeam!!! Starscream: Sorry, you must have me confused with some other Harrier jet!

• • And then a little later from the same episode (especially considering that Optimus and Co have been spending several episodes trying to convince the Elite Guard that there are Decepticons on Earth):

Sentinel: *Sees a crashed Starscream* What is that thing?! Optimus: Huh, that's right, you've never seen one up close. It's called a "Decepticon".

• This battle of wills continues in the Season 3 premiere "TransWarped", where Starscream gets so fed up that he starts ranting about how Megatron got them into this mess: "Are you seeing a pattern here? THIS! IS! ALL! YOUR! FAUUUULLLLTTTTT!"
• Not sure if this counts, but the 2008 Botcon script reading "Bee in the City" is the funniest thing this troper has ever seen/heard, full of shout-outs and fourth wall breaks aplenty. Watch it here.

Bumblebee: Maybe we could call Grimlock, or con Lugnut into helping us out! Joe (Megatron): Please...who do I look like, Scott McNeil?

• • The entire segment where Shockwave explains what happens when they face a cosmic-powered supervillain, including what the secondary characters do and Optimus Prime's reaction to it.

Optimus Prime: Nnnnnno, we won't be doing that.

• • • Vangelus' entire performance as the "morally ambiguous" Transtech Soundwave is brilliant.
• Megatron giving Lugnut orders in "Garbage In, Garbage Out". Seeing how this is Lugnut....

Lugnut: STASIS LOCK ITSELF COULD NOT DETER ME FROM YOUR GRAND, AND GLORIOUS PLAN, OH WISE AND NOBLE MEGATRON! Megatron: Just...go....

• • And earlier, Sari trying to teach Ratchet some manners:

Ratchet: Will you get in already!? Sari: Ah, ah, ah, what's the magic word... Ratchet: NOW!

• After Ratchet saves Bumblebee.

Prowl: I'll stay with Bumblebee. Ratchet: Try to keep him quiet. Prowl: You do realize this is Bumblebee. Ratchet: Oh yeah.

• Optimus Prime, behind you!
• Prowl's attempt at Fake Static at the start of "A Fistful of Energon." Jeff Bennett just nails it in making it so awkwardly out-of-place for Prowl, it's Adorkable.

Ratchet: Personally, I've always found Bumblebee's fake static to be a lot more convincing.

• In the first episode, Prowl's reaction to Optimus' 'cog-in-the-Autobot-machine' speech.

Prowl: *Facepalming* Not this speech again...

• The rivalry between Lugnut and Shockwave during "Endgame". Special mention goes to near the start of Part 1, when after some jibing from Starscream, Lugnut moves in front of Megatron punting Shockwave offscreen in the progess.

Starscream: Y'see, now [Megatron] even likes Blitzwing better than you. Mmm... *Shockwave meanwhile has walked back onscreen* Lugnut: *Slaps Shockwave back offscreen* NO! I am the most faithful!
