* JerkassHasAPoint: While it's sad to see the Decepticons refuse to join the fight against Mandroid, it's kind of understandable that they wouldn't feel any desire to risk their lives for Earth after the treatment they've recieved at the hands of Earth's natives.

* DarkerAndEdgier: And given the prior episode, ''that's'' saying something. "The last Hope" has a number of death fake-outs, violent and gruesome imagery, as well as beloved legacy characters being put under mind control and trying to murder our protagonists, most of which are children.

* FailedASpotCheck: PlayedForDrama. During the entire fight at the space bridge construction site, no one in Twitch's team notices that the human Maltos are being held capitve right beneath the space bridge. Twitch only sees them right before she enters the activated bridge to another location and by then it's way too late. Twitch is heartbroken over this and laments that they could have saved at least part of their family if they'd paid closer attention.

-->'''Breakdown:''' Earth ain't exactly been home to us.


Added DiffLines:

* AllForNothing: A rare positive example this time around. Mandroid's efforts to release a WorldWreckingWave and destroy every energon-based life form on Earth are rendered null and void when Mo and Robby simply use his tower to launch a WorldHealingWave to undo the damage he's done.
* BookEnds: The first season ends the way it began: With one Malto sibling telling the other that they've fallen in love with their new home while the family watches the sky, hopeful for the future.


Added DiffLines:

* GoOutWithASmile: Mandroid dies smiling as his own machine shuts him down, believing he finally succeeded in wiping the Cybertronians off Earth.


Added DiffLines:

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Twitch and Thrash give one to Mandroid both individually and together, calling him out on how much of a monster he's become in his single-minded obsession with "freeing" Earth from Cybertronians.

* BackForTheFinale: Almost every Cybertronian the Maltos have met and/or helped returns for the final fight against G.H.O.S.T. and Mandroid.

* SaveTheWorld: Since Mandroid's plan targets every Cybertronian on Earth, defeating him would basically be this.

Dot, Alex, Mo and Robbie have been imprisoned by Mandroid, who's using the kids' cybersleeve to power up his DoomsdayDevice. The Autobots and Megatron have all been out under mind control.And with the Decepticons refusing to fight for a planet that has never really been home to them in the first place, only Twitch, Bumblebee, Nightshade and Schloder are left to stop Mandroid.

With the Autobots and Megatron under Croft's control and Mandroid's arrival, together with his new Sharkticon lieutenants Blitzwave and Razorfin, the Maltos have no choice but to flee. However, the Sharkticons and Mandroid prove too much for the family and Thrash, Hashtag, Jawbreaker and the humans are seemingly killed. Will Twitch and Nightshade manage to save the day and the world on their own?
