-->'''Galvatron''': '''NEVER!'''

** This is made more epic by the underlying symbolism. In a series where damage is rarely shown and even scorch marks indicate getting hit hard by a strong attack, Starscream is covered in cracks on his physical armor and short-circuits all over his body - even before fighting [[BigGood Optimus Prime]]. He has lost one of his arm-blades. This would be the equivalent of a human having deep bleeding gashes all over their body and a bullet or three lodged inside them somewhere. Despite Starscream otherwise being a fan of the VillainExitStageLeft through his [[VillainTeleportation dimension gates]], he fights on. The attack Optimus Prime then uses on Starscream has won every other time, including against Starscream's boss Megatron, and at that point in the show has no effective counter. Starscream (unsuccessfully but epically) meets it head-on by channeling [[BattleAura all his remaining power]] and declaring [[BadassBoast "The power...IS MINE!"]]. After the ultimate attack overwhelms him, Starscream's eyes dim, indicating unconsciousness (which for the setting is implicitly very near death). He reactivates through near sheer will. And wins his ultimate objective (admittedly with a cheapshot that may have crossed the MoralEventHorizon).

** Hell, even the creation of the systems bypass

* [[spoiler:Red Alert, Hot Shot, and Scattorshot]] bringing themselves back to life through sheer will.

* Megatron's revenge. He calls upon the [[MacGuffin Cyber Planet Keys]] to become Galvatron, and hands all of the Autobots their tailpipes singlehandedly - even Metroplex, whose ankle he barely comes up to. While giving {{Shout Out}}s to ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie''. ("Such heroic nonsense!")

* Primus' second beatdown of Starscream after Starscream [[MakeMyMonsterGrow grows to match him in size]]. Primus blasts Starscream numerous times, then [[ImprovisedWeapon converts his own moons into]] [[EpicFlail flails]] and beats the tar out of Starscream. That said, it's also a [=CMoA=] for Starscream, both for going giant and for [[RevengeOfTheFallen having the balls]] to pick a fight with the Transformer equivilent of God.

* The last leg of Optimus Prime's final battle with Galvatron. Optimus gets back on his feet, drawing Vector Prime's sword Rhisling, parries Galvatron's blow, and gives Galvatron a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Then the first ''TransformersTheMovie'' {{Homage}} comes in.

* Optimus Prime battling Megatron in the latter's personal dimention. The fact that they both unleash a full-on [[NoHoldsBeatDown]] on each other, in this midst of a place that looks like a [[FireAndBrimstoneHell]] makes it even more so.
** TFWiki actualy compares this scene to the image of a hero battling a demon in the depths of Hell.

* [[spoiler:Red Alert, Hot Shot, and Scattorshot]] bringing themselves back to life through sheer will.

-->'''Crosswide:''' [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull CYBER KEY POWER!]] Here's how we do things on Earth, LAUGHING BOY!

* Hot Shot winning the final race Override, with the help of Coby riding in his cockpit manually holding together a systems bypass.

* Vector Prime using his Time Reverse power for the first time, to save the Minicons from destruction.

* Optimus Prime retrieving from the Omega Lock, and escaping from the self-destruct of the Atlantis' treasure room.

* Megatron's first and greatest use of his [[GatlingGood Death Machine Gun]], bringing Hot Shot, Scattorshot, and Red Alert [[NearDeathExperience}} to the brink of death]].

* Vector Prime's [[{{Main/YouShallNotPass}} You Shall Not Pass]] moment in the second episode. He doesn't die. Oh no. He activates his [[{{Main/AmplifierArtifact}} Cyber Key]], [[{{Main/ByThePowerOfGrayskull}} uttering the phrase]] '''"[[{{Main/ThisIsSPARTA}} CYBER KEY POWER!]]"''' Using it, he projects an energy shield that stops Megatron cold. Then, as Megatron tries to break through, Vector Prime knocks him back with a [[{{Main/ChestBlaster}} powerful laser blast from his chest orb]].

* Optimus Prime and Leobreaker [[{{Main/CombiningMecha}} linking up]] into Savage Claw Mode for the first time, and handing Megatron his aft.

* Megatron's first and greatest use of his [[{{Main/GatlingGood}} Death Machine Gun]], bringing Hot Shot, Scattorshot, and Red Alert [[{{Main/NearDeathExperience}} to the brink of death]].

* The final battle between Starscream and Galvatron. Galvatron gets a villainous HeroicSecondWind and unleashes his full power on Starscream, with Starscream responding in kind, both deploying {{Battle Aura}}s. [[{{CombatCommentator}} Other Characters]] note that they're channeling enough energy to wipe out a small planet. Fortunately, they are on a very large planet. Both of them attempt to punch the other, and the result is a SphereOfDestruction which blows a massive crater in the planet they are fighting on and blasts Starscream into another dimension, which he implicitly returns from after the series.

Optimus gets back on his feet, drawing Vector Prime's sword Rhisling, parries Galvatron's blow, and gives Galvatron a [[{{Main/TheReasonYouSuckSpeech}} The Reason You Suck Speech]]. Then the first ''TransformersTheMovie'' [[{{Main/Homage}} homage]] comes in.

* Galvatron's {{Hannibal Lecture}} to Optimus Prime had me going "Well...yeah...That's kinda true..." Vector Prime's way of snapping Optimus back to his senses was equally awesome.
* No one remembers Crosswise taking out two Decepticon's without batting a metal eyelash? Amongst other things he did in his subplots? No love for Crosswise?

* The dubbers, for all their great {{Woolseyism}}s, particularly after the InconsistentDub of ''Armada'' and the oft-incomprehensible BlindIdiotTranslation of ''Energon''.

* Starscream taking on the entire Autobot army at once ''and winning''.
** Everyone using their cyber key attacks on Starscream one-by-one.
*** Including the Savage Claw Mode cyber key, which has won every battle it has been deployed in so far. Admittedly, it has a similar effect on Starscream in this scene (he doesn't overwhelm it), but he does RECOVER from it whereas almost all of its other victims have given up after receiving it.
