Incredibly Lame Pun is a redirect and not a trope by itself. Moments where someone acknowledges how bad the pun is counts as Lame Pun Reaction.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Done straight by Bumblebee regarding Bulkhead not losing his head (in the metaphorical sense). This earns him a DeathGlare from the decapitated Bulkhead.

* DeathGlare: Several of Bumblebee's jokes and comments earn him these from Bulk.
--> '''Bumblebee (trying to put out a fire)''': Oh! I got it! No problem! Where's the fire extinguisher!
--> '''Bulkhead''': Attached to Prime!
--> '''Bumblebee''': Okay, problem. Well, just, don't sit there, give me a hand!
--> '''Bulkhead''': (DeathGlare)
--> '''Bumblebee''': Right, my bad.

* GuileHero: The Autobots, Fanzone, and Sumdac pull this on Masterson; they get into the power plant by pretending that the Autobots are Fanzone's car (Bumblebee), a police escort on a motorcycle (Prowl using a hologram), a red semi filled with Masterson's ransom (actually Prime with Bulkhead in the trailer), and an ambulance in case of any injured (Ratchet). Once Masterson admits that he'll destroy Detroit anyway, the 'bots drop the ruse.

* ContinuityNod: This isn't the first time that Bulkhead laments how every one simply sees him as a big wrecking ball. However, this is the first episode where he's actually given an outlet to feel better about the destructive nature of his powers.
Added DiffLines:
* NotHelpingYourCase: During an interview with a reporter bot, Bulkhead denies the statement that he's just a big wrecking machine...only to then cause a lot of damage when he races to stop a missile.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Henry Masterson is so busy demonstrating his ''weapon'', it falls on deaf ears when Sumdac tries to tell him that his company '''doesn't''' specialize in weapons. Meanwhile, Masterson's new invention accidentally fires off a missile heading to the city. Masterson is psyched by the demonstration, while Sumdac has to spell it out that his invention is about to endanger dozens of people who didn't ask to be bombarded with a missile today.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Twice is Henry Masterson guilty of this. First, he is so busy demonstrating his ''weapon'', it falls on deaf ears when Sumdac tries to tell him that his company '''doesn't''' specialize in weapons. Meanwhile, Masterson's new invention accidentally fires off a missile heading to the city. Masterson is psyched by the demonstration, while Sumdac has to spell it out that his invention is about to endanger dozens an untold amount of people in Detroit who didn't ask to be bombarded with a missile today.
