Line 317:
* [[Hollywood Law]] - Powell uses his [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|connections and resources]] to get Masterson free so he could hire him, despite Masterson threatening to blow up an entire state on live television.
* [[Homage]] - several designs are nods to other [[Humongous Mecha]] and even other Transformers series:
** Starscream's vehicle mode is similar to the [https://web.archive.org/web/20100127184256/http://www.new-un-spacy.com/macrossplus/yf-19.htm YF-19 Alpha One] from [[Macross Plus]] and [[Macross 7]] (he even looks like the GERWALK mode for a second during his [[Transformation Sequence]]).
** Soundwave and Prowl's [[Cool Shades]] are a nod to the ''[[ABC Warriors]]'' of ''2000 AD Comics''. Bulkhead's overall design, particularly his head, recalls Mongrol from the came comic.
** Tutor Bot looks quite a bit like Lord Canti of ''[[FLCL]]''.
Line 561:
** Doing the same to Grimlock causes flames to erupt from his neck/collar.
* [[Soul Brotha]]: Jazz.
* [[Southern-Fried Genius]]|[[Genius Ditz]]: Despite losing his Southern accent when the series began,mostly not the sharpest tool most of the time, and raised on a farm, Bulkhead is an expert in space bridge technology.
* [[Southern-Fried Private]]: Bulkhead went to boot camp straight from the energon farm, and Hot Shot and Ironhide both have distinct Southern accents.
* [[Space Does Not Work That Way]] - Jetstorm can still create windstorms... in space. Solar wind, perhaps?
Line 580 ⟶ 581:
* [[Super Mode]]/[[Powered Armor]] - An upgraded Sari gets it in "TransWarped".
** While not powered ''per se'', Prowl later permanently retains a duplicate of his one-shot samurai armor upgrades.
** The new ''Allspark Almanac Volume 2'' reveals that Optimus would've gotten an upgrade had there been a season 4.<ref>See it [https://web.archive.org/web/20140827135445/http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/193/3/c/Powermaster_Optimus_Prime_by_darksage78.jpg here].</ref>
* [[Sword Over Head]] - Optimus's finishing blow against {{spoiler|Megatron in "Endgame". But with a hammer.}}
* [[Synthetic Voice Actor]] - Perceptor has one of these, and it sounds a lot like Stephen Hawking's.
Line 614 ⟶ 615:
* [[Throw It In]] - Blitzwing's German accent was a last-minute improvisation by Bumper Robinson while auditioning for the role, no doubt based on the character's name. When he got the part, Blitzwing was hastily redesigned to compliment the accent.
* [[Thrown Out the Airlock]] - How Optimus survives his first fight with Megatron.
* [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]] - Sari. Somewhat less in season 3.
** Does Professor Princess count?
* [[Tomato in the Mirror]] - Sari.
