YMMV / Transformers Prime TVM Beast Hunters Predacons Rising

• Fanon Discontinuity: Some viewers prefer to think of Predacons Rising as not being canon to the Transformers: Prime series as a whole, considering the final Season 3 episode "Deadlock" to be the true finale of the show instead; this is due to the perceived Ass Pull by which Unicron returns and Optimus Prime dying at the very end, just when it seemed like he and the other Autobots finally got an Earn Your Happy Ending.
• Harsher in Hindsight: In this movie, Predaking's story arc is resolved and he's given two Predacons to rule over once more at the end. The sequel series Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) would pull out the ultimate Happy Ending Override and reveal that both Darksteel and Skylynx got killed by Starscream unleashing the citadel's defense systems on them, leaving Predaking alone and without a Predacon people once more.
• Signature Scene: Megatron of all characters pulling a Heel–Face Turn is regarded as the most memorable scene in the movie and a unique twist that is pulled off surprisingly well.
  • Optimus’s sacrifice at the very end in the movie, where he becomes one with the Well of All Sparks, creating a flurry of new sparks to populate Cybertron.
