* AdaptationDyeJob: Nova Storm, one of the "Rainmakers" from the original seekers, was colored bright yellow. In addition to the GenderFlip noted below, in ''Cyberverse'', they're purple-colored.



* CompositeCharacter: Grimlock's characterization as eloquent in robot mode, but brutal in dinosaur mode, seems to be based off of his [[MirrorUniverse inverted]] counterpart from ''ComicBook/TransformersShatteredGlass'', but as a heroic Autobot.

to:

* AnimalMotifs: Bumblebee is strongly associated, with, well, ''bees'', what with his stingers, black stripes, and the honeycomb pattern of both his grill and his mental landscape.
* ArchEnemy: Megatron is this to Optimus, as usual, but Shadow Striker is poised to be this for Bumblebee as well.
* BlowYouAway: One of Windblade's special attacks, using the [=VTOLs=] on her wings.
* CompositeCharacter: Grimlock's characterization as eloquent in robot mode, but brutal in dinosaur mode, seems is similar to be based off the portrayal of his [[MirrorUniverse inverted]] counterpart from ''ComicBook/TransformersShatteredGlass'', but as a heroic Autobot.Autobot.
** Bumblebee's design is based heavily on his body from later installments of the [[ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW IDW comics]] continuity, but he has the damaged voice box from his [[{{Film/Transformers}} movie]] and ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' incarnations, as well as his ''[[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Animated]]'' counterpart's [[ShockAndAwe stingers.]]
* DetachmentCombat: Windblade can launch her [=VTOL=] turbines, and Starscream is capable of shooting off the tips of his wings like throwing knives.
* DesignatedGirlFight: In "Memory", Windblade is quickly positioned to take on Nova Storm in the air while Bumblebee dukes it out with Thundercracker on the ground.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: A non-lethal example, but Windblade pulls this off on Thundercracker and Nova Storm using some rocks in order for her and Bumblebee to escape them.
* InsultBackfire: Averted in "Memory", when Bumblebee's random one-liner to Thundercracker ends up angering the Decepticon greatly despite him not understanding a word of it.
-->'''Thundercracker:''' You Autobot scum!
-->'''Bumblebee:''' Really? 'Cause my friend's cousin's neighbor, like, totally saw you at the roller rink last night...
-->'''Thundercracker:''' I will destroy you for saying... whatever you're talking about!



* KidAppealCharacter: Bumblebee as usual.

to:

* GenderFlip: The obscure Seeker Nova Storm is, despite only showing up once, generally portrayed as a male character. In Cyberverse, they're a female Seeker.
* KidAppealCharacter: Bumblebee Bumblebee, as usual.usual.
* HighClassGlass: Perceptor has a targeting monocle like the one his IDW counterpart attained in ''[[ComicBook/AllHailMegatron]]''. Shadow Striker also has one in the form of a three-lensed optic, for more of a WickedCultured look.



** Grimlock previously had a mouthplate-less appearance since the [[WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise Robots in Disguise (2015)]] cartoon.

** Grimlock previously had a mouthplate-less appearance since in the [[WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise Robots in Disguise (2015)]] cartoon.



** Grimlock's mode based personalities may be a reference to Animated Blitzwing.



** Windblade is a cityspeaker, just like her [[ComicBook/TransformersWindblade IDW incarnation]].



* OhCrap: A purely vocal example in ''Fracture'', when Bumblebee's "answering" Starscream's hailing of Thundercracker and Nova Storm's ship with a sick guitar riff causes the Decepticon to exclaim the Autobot's name in fear and surprise.
* RedshirtArmy: A G-rated version of the trope is reflected in the Seekers in this continuity, who seem to take the same role as the Vehicons in ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' and ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''. There are both named individual Seekers as well as generic, army-filling versions.



** The Autobots seem to have their own equivalent, with recurring blue and white-colored model Autobots.
* SonicStunner: As usual, this is part of Soundwave's repertoire, but more emphasized as part of his arsenal than past incarnations.



* TwoGirlsToATeam: So far the Autobots have Windblade and Arcee, while the Decepticons have Slipstream and Shadow Striker in their respective line-ups.

to:

* TwoGirlsToATeam: So far UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: In this continuity, Starscream isn't a member of the Autobots have Windblade Seekers, possessing an entirely different body-type from the likes of Slipstream, Thundercracker, and Arcee, while the Decepticons have Slipstream and Shadow Striker rest. [[ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy While this is the case in-universe on the show, this is unfortunately not reflected in their respective line-ups.the toyline]], where the various Seeker characters are redecoes of Starscream.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: The Allspark is shown communicating with Bumblebee this way, in the form of numerous whispering, overlapping voices.


Added DiffLines:

* WordSaladHumor: A lot of Bumblebee's humor derives from this, with him stringing together a random assortment of unrelated "dialogue clips" to relate them to his current situation.

The series focuses on the adventures of Bumblebee; having damaged his memory chips, he and Windblade must recover his missing memories in order to help him remember his mission on Earth. Unfortunately, the Decepticons are after them and their friends. It seems likely that this will be yet another ContinuityReboot of the franchise.
