* BewareTheNiceOnes: Bulkhead is his usual goofy, lovable self for the first few minutes of the episode, but does a complete 180 once he learns that Sari and 'Bee have been lying to him about the legitimacy of Master Disaster's races. For the rest of the episode he's dead serious whenever he's talking to them, and makes it clear that he's ''[[TranquilFury very]]'' upset.



* DudleyDoRightStopsToHelp: While out looking for an [=AllSpark=] fragment signal, the Autobots see the Street Demons. They are nearby when the blue car (controlled by Master Disaster) knocks two racers off of the road, injuring one of them. Bumblebee goes after the blue racer while Prime, Prowl, Ratchet, and Bulkhead get the racers out of danger.

* AnAesop: Bending the rules might make things easier in the short term, but actions always have consequences:
--> '''Sari''': See? This makes bending the rules ''really'' easy!
--> (Bumblebee goes over a bump and Sari drops the remote controlling Blitzwing)
--> '''Fanzone''': Well, that's the trouble with bending the rules. They usually snap right back in your face.



* BigBrotherInstinct: Bumblebee learns in this episode that he has to set a good role model for Sari (especially now that the Autobots are her primary caretakers), and is willing to leave street racing behind forever if it means she's safer for it. Bulkhead is this for both of them, going to the race to make sure their safe, and calling them out for their irresponsibility when he learns that what they're doing is wrong.

* PoliceAreUseless: Averted here. Fanzone is fairly competent at quickly arresting the captured street racers, interrogating one of them to figure out where Master Disaster was, and arrived at the right place at the right time without asking help from the Autobots. He only needed help when Blitzwing showed up and almost killed him by blowing up his car. At the end, he arrests Master Disaster and successfully puts him away (as we never see him again).

Later, when Sari says that tracking the illegal broadcasts will be a piece of cake, Bumblebee asks why the broadcasts would be coming from a piece of cake.
