* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Shawn Berger is a rich industrialist who became embittered after losing the mayoral election for Central City. He teams up with the Decepticons to discredit the Autobots in exchange for them making him mayor of multiple cities, but is later enslaved with the rest of humanity when the Autobots are seemingly destroyed.


Added DiffLines:

* NearVillainVictory: Megatron is able to convince humanity that the Decepticons are actually the heroes and to turn against the Autobots. The Autobots are exiled from Earth and Megatron sends their ship on a collision course with the Sun. With the Autobots out of the way, the Decepticons take over the Earth and enslave humanity. Had it not been for Thrust shooting Teletraan-1 and cutting off Cosmos's course towards the Sun, Megatron would have truly won.

Michael Bay's ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'' borrows elements from this episode and remakes them into a live-action medium, especially the part where the Autobots are exiled from Earth and supposedly boarded onto a ship to leave while the Decepticons are free to rampage on human cities in their absence.

The jets can't be F-22s, as they didn't even have prototypes built until five years after this episode aired.


* OutOfCharacterMoment: For once, Starscream is overjoyed at being given an order by Megatron. Said order is to show the human F-22s that he's the boss when the US Air Force attempt a liberation of the enslaved civilians.

* IdiotBall: The Autobots for boarding that ship directed by Megatron towards the sun, rather than creating an illusion that could have made them seem like they did board the ship but really didn't. In fact, ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'' corrects the Autobots' strategy-thinking in which they are also exiled by the Decepticons into space on a rocket where the Autobots simply got on the rocket but got off immediately before anyone noticed. The humans (with the exceptions of Spike, Sparkplug, Chip Chase and the Mayor) count as well considering that they easily bought the Decepticon's false video even though the Autobots have been saving the ungrateful human's hides for a couple of years now.

* WhoWouldBeStupidEnough: Now that his archenemy Optimus Prime and the Autobots have been exiled, Megatron now has the ability to enslave the human race because the flesh-and-blood weaklings won't be able to stand up to giant weaponized robots with the technology gap let alone sheer strength to crush humans. Megatron asks do any humans fit this trope.

* CurbStompBattle: When the Autobots return to Earth, they're so mad at the Decepticons that they rapidly fire their guns at their foes and completely overwhelm them and force Megatron to declare a retreat.
* CurbStompCushion: During the final battle, some of the Decepticons get in good shots such as Blitzwing, but in the end, they are completely overwhelmed.

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Berger attempted to rebel against Megatron in Part 2, but is easily overpowered. Since he played a part in Megatron's plan, he doesn't get much of a break even after the Autobots returns. Most of his private military quit on him and he is going to have to face justice in the end. At the very least, Spike acknowledges he tried.

* AllForNothing: Spike already knows something is wrong with the footage that the Autobots have turned against humanity and races to retrieve evidence. He finds out that Megatron's minions were wearing disguises to fool everyone. Unfortunately, he arrives too late when the Autobots are already exiled at the end of Part 1, and Megatron reveals his true colors in Part 2, making his mission pointless. Luckily, the Autobots return to settle the score.
