* PetTheDog: While he typically doesn't care about whatever humans the Autobots have with them (unless he can use them [[IHaveYourWife as hostages]] or [[ManipulativeBastard coerce them to his side]]), even ''Megatron'' looks concerned when Spike grabs the final antidote and climbs onto the about-to-explode Shrapnel.

* BlatantLies: En route to the eaten part of the forest, Beachcomber asks Bumblebee if he's having trouble with the mountain road. He insists that he isn't...only to skid from side to side as he tries to follow the others and mumble to himself that he needs to ask Ratchet for four-wheel drive.

* BadassBoast: Right after Megatron and Starscream discover that the Insecticons have brain-washed the Decepticons, Bombshell tries to shoot cerebro-shells and brainwash them as well. Starscream is hit and enslaved, but Megatron ''catches it and crushes it with his fist''. He then delivers this line:
--> '''Megatron''': No one gets into ''my'' cranial chamber!

* {{Brainwashed}}: Except for Megatron, all of the Decepticons are implanted with Bombshell's [[MindControlDevice cerebro-shells]] and become his slaves.
* DeadlyUpgrade: Draining energy from the Nova Power Core increased the Insecticons' size and strength, easily helping them turn the tables on the Autobots. However, the energy from the Power Core was incompatible with their stomachs and was going to cause them to explode soon.
* EnemyMine: With his Decepticons under Bombshell's control, Megatron is forced to team up with Optimus and the Autobots to stop the Insecticons.
-->'''Optimus Prime:''' Well, Megatron? Are you with us or not?
-->'''Megatron:''' ''Anything'' to destroy those revolting, robotic roaches!
* NoHonorAmongThieves: Megatron, knowing how untrustworthy the Insecticons are, plans to eliminate them once they've served their purpose and, not surprisingly, the Insecticons plan to turn on Megatron once they've gain enough power.
* TheMole: Soundwave unintentionally becomes this for the Insecticons after they inject one of Bombshell's cerebro-shells into his head.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Megatron attempts to pull this on the Insecticons. Unfortunately for him, they were well prepared.
