to:

* ThatManIsDead: Actually, he's the only one of the original three not to bother with this trope at all. [[spoiler:Waspinator ''loves'' being the cool, confident Thrust, and is more than happy to let his new persona take the lead.]]



* VillainHasAPoint:
** When Megatron criticizes Thrust's failures against the Maximals, Thrust points out that he's fighting against against six Maximals with only increasingly ineffective drones as backup; Megatron (who notes that with Botanica's arrival, the odds against Thrust are now ''seven'' to one) accepts the argument and recognizes that the Vehicons need new blood to reclaim the upper hand, leading to Obsidian and Strika.
** When Megatron calls Thrust's performance "no better than Tankor or Jetstorm", Thrust argues that using sparks from Optimus' friends was a mistake, advice that Megatron seems to take to heart; his next generals are warriors from Cybertron's past, and he allows them to keep their own personalities to ensure that they remain loyal.
** After Megatron seems to be dead and Obsidian and Strika throw their lots in with the Maximals, Thrust calls them out, saying that their loyalty to Cybertron as an abstract is meaningless ("If you're loyal to ''everyone'', can you really be loyal to ''anyone''?"); once Megatron returns and his generals resume their service, Obsidian, accepting the wisdom in Thrust's words, even defends the cycle-bot to Megatron.



* ContrastingReplacementCharacter: Obsidian and Strika replace Jetstorm and Tankor as commanders of the Vehicons' air and ground forces respectively. Unlike the generals they replaced, who were converted from Maximal sparks combined with mind and personality altering shell programs, Obsidian and Strika retain their personalities and are loyal to Megatron of their own free will. They also differ from their predecessors on the individual level:
** Jetstorm was a sadistic, hammy jokester and CardCarryingVillain; Obsidian is much more subdued and serious-minded, as well as a genuine believer in serving Cybertron [[MyCountryRightOrWrong no matter who's ruling it]].
** Tankor was the very definition of DumbMuscle, with a short fuse and a [[HulkSpeak limited vocabulary]]; [[GeniusBruiser Strika]] is ''miles'' more intelligent, with an appreciation for beauty, a keen tactical mind, and a far more eloquent manner of speech.
* TheDreaded: The Maximals are in shock to realize that their latest opponents are two of the greatest generals in Cybertronian history.



* {{Hypocrite}}: As Optimus rightfully points out in Obsidian and Strika's debut, Megatron devastated Cybertron, only managing to rule the planet by either killing or stealing the sparks of the rest of the population. Obsidian's claim that he and Strika defend Cybertron rings hollow when one considers their willingness to serve someone who committed such atrocities against the planet.



* PretenderDiss: Obsidian mocks Optimus Primal for being an inadequate inheritor to Optimus Prime's legacy.
-->'''Obsidian:''' Though he took his name from a great leader, Optimus Primal never learned the first rule of warfare: ''never'' underestimate your opponent.
