* WackyRacing: Rigel manages to trigger an impromptu race on a replica of Rainbow Road between Taylor in her Gold Mantis, Squealer in her Road Rager, Armsmaster on his Armscycle, Uber and Leet in Donkey Kong carts, and Rune on her [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers chunk of concrete]]. Squealer ends up being the most dangerous competitor as she essentially has an engine compartment full of power-ups.

* ChekhovsGun: The pipes that Rigel inadvertently made when he screwed up the calculations become plot-relevant in 3-2 when Taylor is testing her boots and falls into one when she miscalculates a jump.

Stop Helping Me is a disambig


* StopHelpingMe: Rigel wants to help, but after he gains a body for himself, he tends to leap before thinking... which gets Taylor into trouble. For example, messing with the Force Field Bridge to make Rainbow Road got Taylor into hot water with her father and with the PRT, particularly since he didn't ask permission before doing that.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Armsmaster and Taylor's relationship in canon was... *interesting* at the best of times, to put it as *politely* as possible. Here, Taylor clearly greatly respects Armsmaster, and in return he finds Taylor to be a promising future Tinker with a good head on her shoulders and fascinating technology.

* BearerOfBadNews: Averted. When Piggot receives a report on the attack of the ABB and Empire forces on the Dockworkers and the PRT, she steels herself when Battery finishes listing the injuries and casualties the first two groups received, preparing herself for the apparently inevitable followup on the latter two groups' own wounds and fatalities. To her surprise, Assault confirms that's it - having Toymaker's healing items at hand allowed both the troopers and the Dockworkers to avert any injury, with a trooper even flung hard enough to get seriously hurt or even killed only losing her ability to shoot fireballs and suffering minor neck pain.

Added DiffLines:

** Coil always ''thought'' that his power was literally splitting timelines and allowing him to choose which one to use akin to Schrodinger's Cat, but [[spoiler:the apparent interference Taylor's powers cause]] has him reconsidering this in Stars 4-0.


Added DiffLines:

** In Stars 4-0, [[spoiler:Coil starts reconsidering how his power works in response to how Toymaker and her creations seemingly have a PsychicStatic effect on it, Rosalina is implied to be planning a trip to Earth Bet, and Gomez and his team makes it to the Ruined Kingdom and encounter both Skidmark and Dragon's drone]].


Added DiffLines:

* WrenchWench: Besides the obvious example of Taylor as Toymaker, Stars 4-0 reveals that Rosalina has some mechanical skills as well, helping Pam with some repairs.

* CreatingLifeIsUnforeseen: Nobel being sapient was ''not'' something Taylor was expecting when she made him. This continues to be a problem for Taylor, as she's not entirely sure which of her creations will be sapient or not. The FLUDD, for example, was just supposed to be a power washer, but it turns out it had a full AI.



* MechanicalLifeforms: Lampshaded by Taylor regarding her Bob-ombs and Cici, as they're mostly mechanical, but counted as "alive" for her power. Panacea is suprised when her power registers Nobel as living.

** Kurt and Lacey surmise that a downplayed case of this applies to Rachel, AKA Hellhound, AKA Bitch. When they put the film "Air Bud" on, Rachel got noticeably calmer and pointed out precisely what the dog actor was feeling.

* SuperEmpowering: One reason the PRT is very interested in what Taylor is selling is because she's selling fire and ice flowers. Like in their original forms, they allow someone to take a single hit without taking damage (defined here as "Strong enough to break a bone,") as well as minor control over the element in question. Director Piggot is practically salivating over the thought of soldiers who can go into battle against capes with temporary powers of their own.



* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The PRT specifically remarks that while a bouncing, barking living wrecking ball is worthy of noting as a tinker creation, its absolutely normal and not at all strange insofar as Tinker creations go.
