* AnimalMecha: ''Anime/TransformersArmada'' only has Laserbeak, but ''[[Anime/TransformersEnergon Energon]]'' has a different take: The only animal-based bots are the Terrorcons, just sentient enough to take orders. There are ''hordes'' of them in each variety, and they are able to eat raw energon and form Energon Stars, this show's version of usable, processed energon. And then there's giant-even-by-Transformer-standard Scorponok, technically a Terrorcon but quite smarter. ''[[Anime/TransformersCybertron Cybertron]]'''s got a planet full of them, the Cybertronian colony Jungle Planet's inhabitants are all beast-bots.
* ApocalypseWow: Unicron generates sort of a suction that causes a planet to be torn apart as it's pulled toward him. By the time it reaches him, the planet is in chunks small enough to be pulled inside the (relatively) small circle on his body.

* DecompositeCharacter: In most continuities, Hot Rod takes up the name Rodimus or Rodimus Prime as he matures. Here, they're separate characters (with Hot Rod being renamed "Hot Shot" in the American dubs as well as in the original Japanese version of ''[[Anime/TransformersEnergon Energon]]'',the only part of the trilogy in which Rodimus appears). They even develop an IntergenerationalFriendship and learn to combine into one bot.
* FusionDance: Optimus Prime was able to combine with at least two separate Autobots in each series.
* IntelligibleUnintelligible: The Mini-Cons initially speak in beeps, (which the humans can somehow understand), although they later learn human language.
* LostInTranslation:
** [[invoked]] Due to [[ScrewedByTheLawyers myriad trademark issues and an attempt to preserve existing trademarks]], a lot of characters got a DubNameChange. This meant a lot of characters who are obviously meant to be {{Continuity Nod}}s to characters from prior shows getting the homage somewhat garbled. For instance, the guy named "Wheeljack" in the Japanese version and clearly intended to be a design homage to the original Wheeljack got renamed as "Downshift."
** A particularly wonky one is the case of Megatron. In the original dub of ''Anime/TransformersArmada'', he was initially named Megatron, and then got an upgrade consisting of a [[PaletteSwap snazzy new color scheme]] (which the toy labeled as "Megatron Super Mode"). Then in ''Anime/TransformersEnergon'', he got a new body which was rather clearly based on Galvatron's design in ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'', not to mention the circumstances in general being very Galvatron-esque. So, naturally, he started calling himself Galvatron from that point on. In the dub, though, they decided to have him calling himself Galvatron after he got those new colors in ''Armada''... and then named his form in ''Energon'' "Megatron", which didn't make a whole lot of sense either out-of-universe (why is this guy who is clearly designed after Galvatron named Megatron?) or [[DubInducedPlotHole in]] (why did he ''go back'' to being named Megatron?). It only got weirder when he got a similar PaletteSwap later in ''Energon''--in the original, he starts calling himself Galvatron General, but in the dub, he... goes ''back'' to calling himself Galvatron. Consequently, what was a fairly straightforward homage turned into Megatron apparently alternating between names whenever he got upgraded.
* UnstoppableRage: Starscream gets a couple of these. The first time occurred in ''Anime/TransformersArmada'' after learning that Megatron was plotting to terminate him and replace him with Thrust as the deception's second in command. He got pissed off, powered up, and defeated most of the other Decepticons and defect to the Autobots (for a while). 20 years later in ''Anime/TransformersCybertron'', he does it again, this time, to the Autobots. He had just betrayed Megatron [[TheStarscream (again)]] and has finally obtained an army of his own. What does he do when the Autobots came for the Cyber Planet Keys and the Omega Lock? He goes on a [[FoeTossingCharge foe-charging attack]] and defeated and/or almost killed several Autobots.
* WritingAroundTrademarks: Megatron kept renaming himself to Galvatron and back so Hasbro could keep both names in active use. Similarly, new characters often have the same names as completely unrelated older characters just so Hasbro can have a claim to the name--''[[Anime/TransformersArmada Armada]]'' Perceptor had nothing whatsoever to do with [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Generation One]] Perceptor, but he helped hold on to the trademark until Hasbro decided years later to make a new Perceptor toy.
