History Awesome / TransformersAnimated

-->'''Megatron''': [Holds Starscream in the air by the head until he finally goes limp, and then lets him fall like a sack of potatoes.] Does ''anyone else'' have a ''problem'' with my leadership?
-->'''Blitzwing (Random)''': N-no, we're fine.
-->'''Lugnut:''' Never!

* Shortly after getting his body back and ''singlehandedly'' owning the Autobots, Megatron promptly assembles the Decepticons and makes a speech about how he's going to get back at the one responsible for his humiliation. He takes aim at the Autobots and charges up his fusion cannon, then turns around and hits Starscream with the Allspark key, draining him of all of his energy.

** The best part about this is the fact that Blitzwing was in Random mode at the time and, for once, he didn't burst out into maniacal laughter. That's just how much Megatron scares him. In fact, according to Blitzwing's toy bio, Megatron scares ''all three of his personalities.''

--> "I am Wreck-Gar! I DARE TO BE STUPID!"

*** [[spoiler:Optimus smacking him right back down afterwards]].

* [[{{Foreshadowing}} "Wazzpinator cannot go offline... Wazzpinator have]] ''{{Foreshadowing}} plans]]'' [[{{Foreshadowing}} ..."]]

** Then follows up by finally giving the Decepticons an equivalent of the famed "transform and roll out":

*** Which fits perfectly with how the 'cons in this series see themselves as LaResistance, rising up against "Autobot oppression."

* [[{{Foreshadowing}} "Wazzpinator cannot go offline... Wazzpinator have ''plans''..."]]

* Sari, a season after getting thrown out of her home by Porter C.Powell and having him gloat about her not legally existing, bringing her father back to Sumdac industries, who prompty fires him and Headmaster, who took Sari's room. To make the LaserGuidedKarma complete, when the two refuse to leave, Sari blasts them out of the building.

** Then we see, when the Space Bridge goes active, Optimus single-handingly protects his crew with a showing of his MundaneMadeAwesome arsenal: Using his grappling hook to save Bumblebee SpiderMan Style, uses his axe to shatter rocks, a short jet-burst to get Prowl back down and finally uses his net to catch a barrage of bolders from crashing into Bulkhead. Said bot can only stare with a JawDrop before Prowl shuts it for him.

* When Starscream gives Megatron a pat on the back before he goes to take out the Autobots, "to wish him luck"... and plants a ''bomb'' on his back.

** ''Animated'' Starscream gets his share. Try when he and his clone army blast into the Decepticon base. Every one of his clones gets a little moment to shine there (especially the sycophant, who singlehandedly brings down Prowl). But the real moment comes when his clones incapacitate Megatron as Starscream grabs his sword. "Oh, I've been waiting a long time for this!"
*** Starscream kind of gets a lot of these in ''Animated''. For one, try when he single-handedly handed the Autobots their collective skidplates in "Transform and Roll Out".
*** Or when he, after discovering Megatron alive but helpless, started going on about how "Anyone could just walk in here and ''terminate'' you..." while preparing to finish what he started and kill Megatron once and for all. Bumblebee runs in, attempts to bring Starscream down, and gets laid out in seconds before Starscream grabs his neck and yells at him: "You '''interrupted my speeeeeech!'''"

* Three Words: [[spoiler:[[TheStarscream Starscream]] [[AmusingInjuries Death]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Montage]]]].

** In "Sari, No One's Home", he takes on the Autobot quintet singlehandedly, kicks their butts, and then stands back contentedly and watches them try to compose a new battle plan.
*** And then he proceeds to kick their butts ''again'' and only leaves when Megatron tells him to stop getting distracted on the way to work.

** "My name... IS OPTIMUS PRIME!"
*** Just Megatron saying his name, after not even knowing who he is, nor caring for the ENTIRE SERIES, counts.

* The final battle between Optimus and Megatron, where Megatron finally views Optimus as the WorthyOpponent they have been to each other throughout the franchise's history.
-->'''Megatron''': You're a ''persistent'' little Autobot.
-->'''Optimus Prime''': My name is ''Optimus Prime''!

* Sari, a season after getting thrown out of her home by Porter C.Powell and having him gloat about her not legally existing, bringing her father back to Sumdac industries, who prompty fires him and Headmaster, who took Sari's room. To make the LaserGuidedKarma complete, when the two refuse to leave, Sari blasts them out of the building.
* Megatron ''finally'' getting Optimus's name right.
-->'''Megatron''': If I cannot save my clones, at least I'll have the satisfaction of destroying you, Optimus Prime!
--> '''Optimus''': (''with a smirk in his voice'') So, you ''can'' remember my name!

--> "YOU WANT HEAT?! I'LL GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE! [[CrowningMomentOfFunny OH SLAG, NOT AGAIN--!"]] *crash*

* When the final episode of ''Transformers:Animated'' aired in Japan, instead of showing the second version of the original JAMProject opening, "TRANSFORMERS EVO.", the opening for this episode was instead replaced by a version of the first edition of "TRANSFORMERS EVO." where the entire cast of Autobots sang the song. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueQA3QUO-eY It's just as awesome as described.]]

** Another Prowl Moment is when he gets the Samurai Armor from Lockdown. It's strange though, how he's more of a jerk in Samurai Armour than he is as a Ninja, contrasting the general portrayal of "Samurai=honorable" "ninja=deceitful". The effortless way he takes down the Starscream clones, though, ''more'' than makes up for it.

-->'''Ratchet:''' ...It belongs to Ultra Magnus.

-->'''Optimus:''' It's Optimus ''Prime''. I may be an Elite Guard washout and a glitch-detail flunky, but the last time I checked, you and I still had equal rank. So, Sentinel Prime, take your order ''and'' your condescending attitude, and stick it in your hard drive! You're on ''my'' turf now!

** The best part about this is the fact that Blitzwing was in Random mode at the time and, for once, he didn't burst out into maniacal laughter. That's just how much Megatron scares him.

--> "YOU WANT HEAT?! I'LL GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE! [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Oh slag, not again--!"]] *crash*

-->'''Megatron''': [Holds Starscream in the air by the head until he finally goes limp, and then lets him fall like a sack of potatoes.] "Does ''anyone else'' have a ''problem'' with my leadership?"
-->'''Blitzwing (Random)''': "N-no, we're fine."
-->'''Lugnut:''' "Never!"

-->'''Megatron''': "Decepticons, transform and rise up!"

--->'''Bulkhead''': "You talk too much."

--->'''Blitzwing (Hothead)''': "If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times... ''GIVE ME SOME WARNING BEFORE YOU USE ZHE PUNCH!''"

-->'''Ratchet''': "Time was, I'd use my EMP generator to do this painlessly. Too bad I don't ''have it'' anymore..."

-->'''Ratchet''': "You want me to use that EMP to make your ''pain'' go away?" '''(Blocks Lockdown's underhanded attack and takes back his EMP generator by ripping it from Lockdown's arm.)''' "This was a ''medical tool,'' meant to heal! You turned it into a ''weapon!''" '''(Uses a full-blast EMP to take down the ship.)''' ''"This one's for Arcee."''

* Ratchet for putting Sentinel Prime in his place by [[spoiler:getting Ultra Magnus' Hammer back from Shockwave, taking it with him to Earth, and bringing Jazz with him to stay]].
-->'''Sentinel:''' "[the hammer] belongs to the Elite Guard!"
-->'''Ratchet:''' "No. It belongs to Ultra Magnus."

*** Or when he, after discovering Megatron alive but helpless, started going on about how "Anyone could just walk in here and ''terminate'' you..." while preparing to finish what he started and kill Megatron once and for all. Bumblebee runs in, attempts to bring Starscream down, and gets laid out in seconds before Starscream yells at him: "You '''interrupted my speeeeeech!'''"

--->'''Megatron''': "Decepticons, transform and rise up!"

--->"You want power?" ''(rams Sari's key into the [=AllSpark=] in Megatron's chest)'' "HAVE YOUR FILL!"

--->[[CrowningMomentOfFunny "Oh slag, not again--!"]] *crash*

*** Results in him ''juggling Bumblebee''

* Another Megatron moment [[spoiler:He's had a spy in the Autobot Elite Guard for several decades. This spy is now head of Cybertron Intelligence. This spy is also ''Shockwave.'']]

--->'''Blitzwing (Hothead)''': "If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times... ''GIVE ME SOME WARNING BEFORE YOU USE THE PUNCH!''"

** This simply has to be noted: [[spoiler:Battered and beaten, Megatron asks Optimus why he just doesn't finish him off, once and for all. Prime actually raises the Magnus Hammer, charges it, then swings it down in a way that looks like he actually did it. Then the camera angle changes to show he destroyed Megatron's arm cannon instead. He then puts Stasis Cuffs on the Decepticon Leader, saying this, "That would be the easy way out Megatron. You don't deserve it."]]

--> '''Optimus''': It's Optimus ''Prime''. I may be an Elite Guard washout and a glitch-detail flunky, but the last time I checked, you and I still had equal rank. So, Sentinel Prime, take your order ''and'' your condescending attitude, and stick it in your hard drive! You're on ''my'' turf now!
