* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Rhinox and Rattrap openly laugh at Cheetor's IgnoredAesop. Even Optimus can't help but chuckle.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Megatron is hesitant to allow Cheetor to try to disarm the bomb.
-->'''Cheetor:''' C'mon! You'd rather be vaped?!
* BigNo: Optimus when Dinobot lies about Cheetor being executed by Megatron.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Cheetor is offended by the idea of Optimus underestimating his capabilities and thinking he's just a kid. Dinobot gladly exploits this concern for his own gambit. In the last scene, Optimus reminds Cheetor that he's always respected him.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Optimus is insistent on giving the Predacons time to evacuate their base, even after he thinks Cheetor's been killed.



* IgnoredAesop: Optimus concedes that Cheetor ultimately prevented a catastrophe, but he promises to come down hard on him if he ever disobeys his orders again.
-->'''Cheetor:''' I'll never do that again! Until the next time. ''[runs off]''

* JerkassHasAPoint: Dinobot doesn't like Optimus planning to set the bomb so that the Predacons have time flee the Darksyde. While doing so does give time for the bomb to be expelled so it doesn't destroy both bases, considering how dangerous the Predacons are, he's hardly in the wrong for advocating to kill them instead of simply leaving them without a base.

* UnscrupulousHero: Dinobot’s goal is to see the Predacon base destroyed (and hopefully the Predacons themselves along with it), but the tactics he uses in service of that plan are underhanded to say the least.
