* AdaptationalVillainy: Applied to a place rather than a person.

** Shockwave’s voice and mannerisms are heavily reminiscent of his straightforward Aligned counterpart, though in one episode he doesn’t rule out overthrowing Megatron due to growing weary of his failures, just like his counterparts in the original G1 comics as well as the 2005 IDW continuity (though an Aligned novel had Megatron privately muse that he felt Shockwave would turn on him one day, it never came to pass anywhere in the Aligned continuity).


Added DiffLines:

* InNameOnly:
** Lockdown is not an unaligned bounty hunter on Megatron’s payroll in this series as he usually is, instead being portrayed as a lowly Decepticon grunt.
** Deliberately averted with Clobber. As her design suggests, she was originally meant to be a female incarnation of Lugnut, but not only did Hasbro object to making the character female, the show’s creators ultimately realized that she would become this trope due to her characterization and arc.
