Funny / Transformers: Cybertron

• Vector Prime's enthusiasm for racing in episode 15, and Optimus being kind enough not to tease him about it.
  Vector Prime: YES! Er... I mean he's doing very well.
  Optimus Prime: Mhmm.
• Ransack and Crumplezone almost at the top of the track in "Champion".
  Ransack: Oh NO! WE'RE OUT OF NITREX!
  • Ransack and Crumplezone in general are a gold mine of these. Their antics are the epitome of priceless.
• In episode 42 there's a few great ones.
  • Scourge, the huge dragon transformer, proving to be afraid of the human Lori. Wing Saber is as well.
  • Thunderblast going after Wing Saber from behind while singing the Jaws theme.
  • Lori and Wing Saber's revenge on Thunderblast.
• Coby creates a Megatron hologram that orders Sideways to "Hop on one foot and say, 'I'm a pretty lady!'"
  • When caught doing it by Sideways, Coby says:
    "He, He, He! Ain't I a stinker?!"
• When Coby and Bud first met Scourge, they got the poor guy so flustered with all of their questions that he started spitting fire everywhere.
• How has no one mentioned the exchange when Optimus Prime hits Megatron with Savage Claw Mode? And people say Optimus can’t be funny
  Megatron: This isn't over!
  Optimus: Give it a second. *cue explosion right in Megatron's evil face.*
• How Evac turned the tables on Sideways in "Invasion".
  Evac: What are you doing here? What do you want?
  Sideways: Sorry, but if I told you, then I'd have to tell everyone, and it wouldn't be much of a secret!
  Evac: Smart-alec. Crosswise, you got anything?
  Crosswise: Well, I heard him say something about a Cyber Planet Key...
  Evac: Oh, so that's it. Sorry, but you're way off base. What you're looking for isn't here!
  Sideways: Then where is it? Tell me!
  Evac: I'm sorry, but if I told you... I'd have to tell everybody! But I do have something for you...
  Sideways: *gets hit* That's it! If you're not gonna play nice, I'm out of here! *flies off and becomes A Twinkle in the Sky.*
• Sure, Starscream going against Primus is a Moment of Awesome, but when the latter comes online...
  Starscream: MOMMAAAAAAA!
• Leobreaker tries thinking of a way to get to Gigantion, and Snarl performs a Face Fault.
  Leobreaker: ...Or a really big slingshot?
  Snarl: (falls over) Will you get serious?!^note  In the Japanese version, Leobreaker was wondering about the possibility of another spaceship crashing nearby. Snarl's Face Fault is a bit too excessive, so it was changed to the slingshot gag for the dub
  • Jetfire's afraid of needles.
    • Even better, Jetfire is so afraid of them that he volunteers to stay behind on Cybertron and keep an eye on Primus, only for Primus to chime in and assure everyone that he will be fine on his own. Let that sink in; it took divine intervention for Jetfire to get his shots.
• So Megatron has just been beaten, fair and square, and his rage has everyone scared since he has taken hits before. When they're unable to understand why this beatdown at the hands of Metroplex was so rage-inducing, Soundwave drops this golden line.
  Soundwave: He's trippin' 'cause he got served.
  • It really loses something in writing. Cybertron Soundwave talks in a monotone and with extra special effects on his speech, per usual, but he's played more like a DJ (to the point of actually being voiced by one.) The line would be mildly amusing from anyone, but from DJ Soundwave, it's enough that you'll probably be changing your shorts after.
• The bots from the Giant planet are good for a laugh.
  He's got a bee in his bonnet...
  • This is about the Big Bad. In full Unstoppable Rage mode.
• Sideways is a total Butt-Monkey in the episodes "Escape" and "City". First he gets beat-up and embarrassed by some human kids in Escape, then he acts all grumpy in City and has a whole bunch of paint cans fall on his head.
  Sideways: Oui, mon Capitaine!
  • Seriously Sideways?
• When Lori and Scourge are reunited after their meeting on Jungle planet. Lori tells Scourge just how disappointed she is in him. "Scourge got told off by his little sister! Scourge got told off by his little sister!"
  • Heck, everytime Scourge gets scared of Lori.
• Time to attend the "Bud's School of Painless Leadership".
  • To make this a bit funnier, SCOURGE is also taking that class.
• Anyone who thinks Cybertron was badly dubbed clearly hasn't seen Bud's samurai movies.
  "I will dishonor your guts with my Reverse Quacking Dog Attack!!!"
• On a franchise-scale, meta, Fridge Brilliance scale, the concept of the Unicron Singularity itself. Turning your Biggest Bad into an all-consuming blackhole that actually affects the continuity of every single Transformers series ever has to rank up amongst the best and most amusing of all handwaves and lampshades ever.
• The rampant Lampshade Hanging of the "burning justice" in the dub of the episode "Cybertron" is pretty funny. Leobreaker's completely stopped questioning all the weird things happening ("Nah, stuff like this happens to me all the time."), but Ransack and Crumplezone are outright confused ("Uhhh... Ransack? "Yeah, Crumplezone?" "Did something weird just happen or is it just me?" "No, I think that was pretty weird.").
• Optimus and Scatttershot have a conversation about the latter's choice in alt-mode.

  Optimus: A tank?! Are you trying to draw attention to us?!

  Scattershot: As opposed to a firetruck with giant cannons? Yeah, 'cuz that blends in so well with the scenery. Where'd you go? Oh, there you are, I didn't see you for a second! Huh. A tank is perfect! No parking tickets, they'll all get out of my way, and I can get up to sixty miles per hour on rough terrain!

  Optimus: Yes... but a fire truck is bigger.

  Scattershot: Wanna race?

• Starscream talks a lot of smack when he picks a fight with Primus, but the minute Primus goes to finish him off with the moon flails? He screams for momma!
