** Menasor is traditionally portrayed as the single most mentally unstable Combiner (due to his limbs Dead End, Dragstrip, Breakdown and Wildrider all hating his torso Motormaster). In the comics this was tweaked to make him a ball of uncontrolled rage that the collective Stunticons manifested. Here, he's intelligent and stable enough to mock Computron even as he beats him down, and later pulls a NotSoDifferentRemark on Windblade after she slices him in half.

* FoeRomanticSubtext: Megatron's interactions with both Optimus Prime and Starscream are ''dripping'' with this. At some points he comes off like jilted old friend/lover who hasn't gotten over the break-up as well as he claims.

** In Optimus Prime's prologue,Megatron challenges Optimus to a one on one battle to end the war similar to the season 1 finale of the original series, "Heavy Metal War". The key difference is that rather than cheat, he actually fights fair, loses, and accepts defeat and goes into exile.
