** Likely justified as Megatron assumed that ''all'' the Maximals were affected by his plan and was unaware that Airazor was still herself; it wouldn't be hard for him to assume that he either missed a falcon flying away at night or that the feral Dinobot or Cheetor ate her before they left the base.

* EvilLaugh: Megatron after explaining the details of his plan. He then glares at his troops, expecting accompaniment, and Waspinator and Terrorsaur oblige.



* LetsSplitUpGang: Justified. While Tigatron goes to corral the others and help them reassert control of their instincts, Airazor goes to the Predacon Base to retrieve the rectifier coil.



* NowYouTellMe: After Terrorsaur and Waspinator get the rectifier coil, Megatron orders the others to fall back. Tarantulas (in the process of getting spun around by Dinobot) is not exactly appreciative.
-->'''Tarantulas:''' Now, he tells me! ''[screams, as he gets sent flying]''



* SplitPersonalityMerge: How the Maximals get a grip on their beast instincts, by deleting a programming block mentally separating their two sides.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: As the Predacons continue the hunt, explosions suddenly start occurring off in the distance.
-->'''Megatron:''' Uh-oh.
* YouAreTooLate: As their mental states decline, Rhinox attempted to contact Tigatron. By the time Tigatron receives the message and gets to the base, the others have gone feral and become targets in the hunt.

* IdiotBall: Megatron grabs one when he leaves the entire Predacon base undefended while out on his hunt for the Maximals. Airazor is able to walk into the base and just grab the rectifier coil that was stolen, but she had free reign of the base and could have done a ''lot'' of damage.

* RuleOfCool: The Maximals defeat the Predacons using tricks and deception while in their beast modes. It'd be a lot more practical to handle things in their robot mode, but this makes the point of the episode better.
