* StylisticSuck: The 80s styled animation for Alex's flashback goes as far as recreating the many off-model and LimitedAnimation instances inherent to the original cartoon.
* VocalDissonance: The 'bots in the flashbacks re voiced by Alex and Robby, resulting in this to an extent.

Then Dot warmly teases him about his dramatic entrance, he starts to laugh, puts her down and the two exchange a {{Catchphrase}}, revealing that this Megatron is a good guy and friends with Dot.

* ContrivedCoincidence: Robby just so happened to run away on the same night that Hardtop was arrested. Him and Mo also conveniently take the exact street out of Witwicky that the G.H.O.S.T. prisoners' transport and Mandroid's arachnamechs clash on. After diving off-road to avoid getting caught in-between, they just so happen to fall in close proximity to the cave that contains the Ember Stone.

Added DiffLines:

* ClingyMacguffin: Mo and Robby's cybersleeves are permanently grafted onto their arms and cannot be removed by any means. The two of them don't mind much, as the sleeves are what's enabling their PsychicLink with Twitch and Thrash.
* SpidersAreScary: The arachnamechs elicit reactions of fear and revulsion from everybody who isn't Mandroid. Upon seeing one in Mandroid's lair, Twitch immediately aims her arm cannon at it.


Added DiffLines:

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Robby claims there's nothing holding him in Witwicky, Mo asks him if he wouldn't even stay for her. Robby can't find it in himself to answer and instead starts to yell out of frustration.
* BloodKnight: Elita-1 admits that she was hoping Swindle and Hardtop wouldn't surrender willingly, since it makes bringing them in more "fun".
* BornAsAnAdult: Zig-zagged. Since they're robots, Twitch and Thrash come into the world already fully grown, able to speak and understand language and with full bodily functions. That said, they for the most part have the mentality of very young children, acting scared of Robby and Mo at first and being excited and awed by just about everything.

* MythologyGag: The animation accompanying Alex' retelling of the Transformers War is animated in the G1-style.
