History Characters / TheTransformersTillAllAreOne

* GenreSavvy: Given his ButtMonkey status, he bolts when Chromia locks eyes with him. He later says that even he's not dumb enough to reveal that he has damaging evidence on Starscream ''in front of Starscream''.

* LastOfHisKind: Implied, with the Titans aged to the point where many had died. The Titan Hunters killed many of the survivors, and [[spoiler:several of the MIA Titans, including Caminus, willingly sacrificed themselves to make home worlds more inhabitable for their children. Slightly subverted later on as more Titans pop up only to die soon after leaving Metroplex and Metrotitan as the only ones left. Navitas is also improving in mental health.]]

* IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: He's in love with Onslaught and whilst Onslaught trusts him more than the others Blast Off spent the war disappointed that he never returned his feelings.

* {{Transplant}}: He's literally picked up and returned to Cybertron to rejoin the other Combaticons in ''Till All Are One''.

* CanonImmigrant: From ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''. She's notably the only one from her planet (bar Chela) who's not originally from the Beast Era.

** Tto Chromedome. While he's addicted to the thrill of mnemosurgery he only uses it in the most dire of circumstances and has standards of how it should be used. She doesn't view mnemosurgery as anything but a tool, will do it casually whenever the mood strikes her and has zero standards about using it for her benefit.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: There's not so much as a hint of her before issue 10 but her iconic pincers are on that issue's cover.

* GreenEyedMonster: Maybe. She mentions that not every Fate Spinner can see the future (her being one of them) so she tried a more [[MindRape scientific method]] of creating prophecies.

[[folder:Chela]]
* TheCameo: In issue 8 of ''TAAO'', he appears as one of the three Titans to [[spoiler:oversee the exile of Vigilem.]]
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Starscream blows up his brain, and the explosion ruptures his optics from the inside out. Screamer blasts through one of his eyes in order to escape the dying Titan]].
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He's a Titan but he doesn't look anything like the standard body type, being a Beast-former instead of a Standard-former.
* ThePhoenix: A Magnificent deified bird with a bring orange/yellow coat. He's designed after one [[spoiler:but he is not immortal]].
* {{Pride}}: According to Metroplex, it was his FatalFlaw.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His duty is to protect Eukarians from Cybertronians should they ever return to try and exterminate the beasts. When they come to forge a peace with the Eukarians, he attacks.

!Carcer

[[folder:Carcer in General]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: They are a fairly brutal yet reasonable faction who claim peaceful intentions, but are suspicious of outsiders. Contrast the silly antics of Lancer and Greenlight with the militarism of Obsidian and Strika.
* ArmCannon: Unlike most Transformers, theirs are incorporated into their arms like in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''.
* TheAtoner: They're all members of, or descendants of members from, [[spoiler:Liege Maximo's tribe. They've taken up being his jailers.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: They may have followed [[spoiler:Liege Maximo and lied for the greater good]] but they were appalled by [[spoiler:Megatronus' murder of Solus Prime.]]
* ReverseArmFold: Everyone does this. It reinforces their appearance as a disciplined fighting force.
* WillNotTellALie

[[folder:Carcer/Tempo/[[spoiler:Vigilem]]]]
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Despite his death, he was ultimately successful in freeing his master, Liege Maximo.]]
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Against Windblade, [[spoiler: he wins.]]
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: In combat he deploys two swords from his wrists.
* CoolMask: This Titan has a retractable face mask.
* [[HumanResources Cybertronian Resources]]: [[spoiler: After he dies, Elita mentions they're going to cannibalize his parts to rebuild Iacon before he'll be turned back to starship mode to resume his role as Carcer.]]
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:When Elita One states that she wouldn't allow him or Liege Maximo to run free, his mocks her failure to do so with his [[FamousLastWords last words]].]]
* TheDreaded: Even ''Metroplex'' is scared of him.
* FamousLastWords[=/=]TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In four words to Elita One, [[spoiler:"Then you have failed."]]
* GrandTheftMe: Both the victim, and guilty, of it.
* MeaningfulRename: The Titan was originally named Tempo when it left with its crew of philosophers. In the present day, the Titan is named Carcer, the Latin word for "prison," and inhabited by soldiers. [[spoiler: Possibly subverted if this is a different Titan entirely. Later played straight as the other Titans meant to show Vigilem that he was a prisoner in his own body and a prison for Liege Maximo.]]
* MysteriousPast: Carcer was originally a Titan called Tempo who housed pacifistic philosophers. When we finally meet them Elita notes that years of hard times and survival sharpened them into a deadly fighting unit. [[spoiler:Of course this all comes into question when Windblade reveals that Carcer was the title of a completely different Titan. Subverted when it turns out masking as Tempo was just a trick by Vigilem and he was rebranded Carcer as a sign of his imprisonment]].
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Carcer means jail or prison in Latin.
* [[RedEyesTakeWarning Red Optics, Take Warning]]
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[spoiler:He saves Cybertron from the undead Titans so he can destroy it.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: A few hints and rumblings hint that this Titan was one of the more malicious ones. [[spoiler:Indeed Vigilem is probably the only one who serves an evil master and agenda.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards his master, [[spoiler: Liege Maximo]].
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:He transforms and has some back and forth with Windblade before Elita destroys his brain.]]

[[folder:Elita One]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: Though downplayed, especially compared to characters like Rattrap and Getaway, Elita is reimagined as a strict leader and a skilled manipulator and politician. Compare that to the snarky, mother figure in love with Optimus from the original cartoon.
* BerserkButton: Lying and trying to undermine her.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: While it takes a lot to actually get her angry, Primus help you if you do. Her angry face alone is pretty horrifying.
* TheChessmaster: In ''TAAO'' #9, she goes from being scolded by Starscream, Tigatron, Moonracer, Fireshot and the Mistress of Flame to having them under her thumb in seconds.
* TheDreaded: Played for laughs when Ironhide says he doesn't want to meet her personally. Played quite straight when being face to face with her is all it takes for Lightbright, Sparkstalker, Breakdown and Fireshot to bolt.
* FashionableAsymmetry: One crest on her head is cracked while the other is intact.
* IGaveMyWord: She swore to keep [[spoiler: Vigilem and Liege Maximo locked up forever as well as hiding that they even existed.]] Even a Titan Apocalypse can't motivate her to break it.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Her reasons for hiding [[spoiler: Liege Maximo's existence]] are pretty reasonable. She doesn't really know any of the other colonists, she's kept him under wraps for millions of years and the [[TheStarscream ruler of Cybertron]] [[BerserkButton openly lied to her face]] when they first met.
* LargeAndInCharge: She seems to be in Optimus and Megatron's size class.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Metroplex's opinion of her for allowing [[spoiler: Vigilem to remain alive.]]
* PragmaticHero: What does she do when [[spoiler: Vigilem wakes up?]] Why blast his brain until there's nothing left.
* SureLetsGoWithThat: Everyone assumes that she released "Carcer" of her free will to save Cybertron. She's in no hurry to correct this misconception.
* TranquilFury: "I would tell you to get off my ship... but we're well past that."
* WillNotTellALie: She enforces this idea with the policy "Better Death than Lies." Though, as befitting a potential threat such as her, she can and will omit the truth. She also says she has no obligation to correct any lies she hears.

[[folder:Obsidian]]
* BadassBureaucrat: As Elita's right hand and member of the Council of Worlds Obsidian possesses a sharp wit. In the first issue of TAAO alone he establishes himself as a very difficult political opponent to Starscream.
* BewareTheHonestOnes: While Elita contents herself with MetaphoricallyTrue, Obsidian embraces this trope as the LivingLieDetector of Carcer. When Obsidian's placed on the council he condemn's Optimus's actions toward annexation, and begins to challenge Starscream's own authority and the corruption within the justice system. Obsidian even brings in Ironhide in to act as a third party because of Ironhide's trustworthiness.
* CanonImmigrant: From ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines''.
* CoDragons: He and Strika are Elita's top advisors meant to give advice, and kill on command.
* CreepyGood: He's got a very definitive villain design (darker colors and lack of humanoid attributes) and a terse threatening air about him, but Obsidian is one of the more moral characters in the series and especially in Carcer. It's telling that in most of his interactions, baring those with Starscream, he's friendly in a businessman like way.
* CreepyLongFingers: His long slender red fingers are carry over from his Beast Machines character design. Though here he actually has hands rather than the fingers protruding from his wrist stumps.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: His alien Beast Machines design stands in contrast to the other more humanoid ones amongst his colony. His arms are larger than his torso, he has no feet, and his mobility comes from the rotors on his back.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Inverted. Of all the council members he's shown himself to be competent in the field of politics and willing to actually ''do'' something with the power he's given and Windblade finds a surprising ally in him. In addition [[spoiler:Obsidian was the one to try and convince Elita to de-escalate the conflict with the Cybertronians and tell them the truth about Carcer]] though he is overruled.
* WhatTheHellHero: Obsidian voices disdain at Optimus Prime for having annexed Earth without the Councils or even the Earthlings's knowledge.

[[folder:Strika]]
* {{BFG}}: She's got the biggest blaster amongst Elita's soldiers and it looks absolutely massive in Vehicle mode.
* BrawnHilda: Beefier than [[ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye Roadmaster]], and larger than any other soldier under Elita's command.
* CanonImmigrant: Strika originated in ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' but her design here also borrows elements from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated''.
* CoDragons: She and Obsidian serve directly under Elita, Strika herself greets foreign threats with her BFG and is willing to execute on command.
* MythologyGag: She informs Starscream that "[she] doesn't attack, [she] terminates," as she transforms to aim a cannon at him. Terminate was the Activation code (the code a bot says to make them Transform) back in the Beast Machines cartoon, though there it was implied not to be an actual Activation code, but rather a battle cry.
* TheWorfEffect: Issue 7 of ''TAAO'' has her catch ''Devastator's'' fist and mock him while doing so. So of course she fails [[spoiler:to stop Liege Maximo from escaping]] in the next issue.

[[folder: Spoiler Character]]
!!Liege Maximo

One of the Thirteen Primes, who took part in the War of the Thirteen Primes and left Cybertron imprisoned aboard Vigilem. He's freed by his Titan when the former is awakened.

* DeadpanSnarker: His comment to Strika suggests this.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Elita warns that he'll do this.
* TheDreaded
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler: Offers sincere thanks to Vigilem for freeing him and swears to avenge him.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: He started the War of the Primes which led to the rise of Nova Prime and Functionism which led to the Great War.
* HornedHumanoid
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: [[spoiler:If Elita's story is to be believed, he originally told helpful lies before he began lying for his own power and reached out to Megatronus.]]
* MagnificentBastard: None of his followers suspected that he was out for himself until [[spoiler: Megatronus killed Solus Prime.]]
* SealedEvilInACan: Unfortunately, [[spoiler: the can was loyal to him and set him free.]]
* ShoutOut: His design invokes Loki. Fitting considering his traditional personality.
* VillainExitStageLeft: [[spoiler: He teleports away when Vigilem dies.]]

* AdaptationalHerosim: To go with his status as an AscendedExtra Sparkstalker in the IDW comics has been revamped into a much more heroic figure than previous portrayals.

* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Gals]]: With Nautica, before she joined the Lost Light.

* LastOfHisKind: Implied, with the Titans aged to the point where many had died. The Titan Hunters killed many of the survivors, and [[spoiler:several of the MIA Titans, including Caminus, willingly sacrificed themselves to make home worlds more inhabitable for their children. Slightly subverted later on as more Titans pop up only to die soon after leaving Metroplex and Metrotitan as the only ones left]].

** In the last issue of the original, his ramblings now make sense, he's talking about [[spoiler:The other Titans who became colonies, and the Transformers born from them. The second passage in particular refers to such transformers later seen by Windblade: Fleet of Foot (Two cars racing on a Velocitron-like planet), Fierce as beasts (Fuzors), Paired forevermore but called least by fools (The two Micromaster Combiners - who are pairs of robots who merge to form their alt mode.)]]

* TheVoiceless: Apparently his vocal processors have been damaged since his Spotlight issue, so Windblade or another Autobot reads the pulses of light from his brain and speaks for him. Averted in issue 5 as he got a new voicebox offscreen.

* CombiningMecha: [[spoiler: Thanks to the Enigma of Combination, becomes part of Bruticus in Till All Are one #4]].

* AdaptationalHeroism: ''Heavily'' downplayed. This [[spoiler:Airachnid]] is fully willing to perform MindRape on anyone for the flimsiest of reasons or for a paycheck and is still a brutal sadist who tortures her own kind. The only reason she qualifies is that she doesn't go around killing off whole species to relieve boredom. There's also the fact that she's not trying to undermine/kill Starscream.

* EvilCounterpart: So far she's one to Blackarachnia.

* MindRape: She does this to every Combaticon ''but'' Blast-Off as the lie she implanted in their brains needs a linchpin to prevent the other four from picking up on the inconsistencies.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Though downplayed, especially compared to characters like Rattrap and Getaway, Elita is reimagined as a strict leader and a skill manipulator and politician. Compare that to the snarky, mother figure in love with Optimus from the original cartoon.

* BigBad: For the first four issues of TAAO his revenge scheme kicks the plot into gear.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his previous role in Spotlight Arcee, Blast-Off was quite happy to revel in the pain he caused when they assaulted Garrus-9. TAAO pushes him away from that to make him the TokenGoodTeammate.

* TokenGoodTeammate: TAAO establishes him as the least violent and malevolent of the group. He's the only one who wants to put revenge and the war behind them.

* BloodKnight: Vortex is always spoiling for a fight or even just a chance to cause pain. When the Combaticons finally blow their ruse in TAAO #3 he's glad that there's finally violence. Tellingly he was the first Combaticon to revel in Bruticus's power.

* NoNameGiven: Because the writers haven't thought of one yet. He's not going to be called Breakdown due to the G1 version of the character already existing.

* CanonImmigrant: It's noteworthy that her aesthetic draws heavily from WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated rather than any Beast Era design.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: In conversation with Windblade lets her know even he won't sell people out the way Starscream does.

!Caminus

[[folder:Camiens in General]]
* AlienBlood: They bleed blue Energon like in ''Prime'' as opposed to the pink/purple of G1 due to having lower frequency Sparks.
* DoesNotLikeGuns: Camien Culture is against projectile weaponry, they feel it is wasteful.
* FantasticCasteSystem: Averted. Unlike Eukaris, Cybertron, and Velocitron, who all divide and categorize their society based on their alt modes, Caminus's divisions come from how they socialize rather than how they were born, and while this has caused problems, it hasn't resulted in a hierarchy keeping society down.
* TheFundamentalist: Averted. They are incredibly religious, but their religion hasn't lead them down any dark paths like Star Saber. Even the one's out converting others are quite respectful and preach out of a general desire to spread what they think is the word of god rather than condemning any who disagree.
* TheKingdom: Caminus is a fairly small neutral Colony. Though unlike the Warring Cybertronians, they are peaceful and moral. As per the trope, they are under threat of being subsumed by [[TheEmpire the Cybertronian Empire]].
* PuppetState: Invoked. The Unnamed Rulers of Caminus do pass laws and legislate, but everyone, including them, know that the Mistress of Flame is the true power on Caminus, as she is their high priestess in a society that is staunchly religious. The Rulers even await her judgement on important political matters before moving forward.
* RobotReligion: The entire planet runs on a Theocracy. They deify the original 13, and worship their founder, Solus Prime, as their main Goddess.

[[folder:The Mistress of Flame]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Subverted. Despite being solicited as such, the Mistress of Flame is presented as just, and stays allied with Optimus's ideals rather than Starscream's.
* BlasphemousPraise: She claims to know the identity of the Thirteenth Prime. The Torchbearers who would come to form Victorion viewed this as sacrilege and left her service soon afterward.
* CapedMecha: She wears a large red cape and follows the tradition of distinguished important bots adorned with this clothing.
* LargeAndInCharge: She's incredibly tall, almost twice Windblade's height, and cuts an imposing figure amongst the other Bots.
* StaffOfOffice: She carries a massive hammer in honor of their founder Solus Prime.

[[folder:Lightbright]]
* AgeLift: Her original incarnation was essentially a child, in this continuity her design has been tweaked and now resembles an adult.
* AscendedExtra: In ''Animated'' she was just a cameo character with no lines. She's been developed a lot in this series.
* CanonImmigrant: From ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated''.
* ShipTease: With Sparkstalker. The two [[spoiler:eventually become an OfficialCouple.]]
* NumberTwo: Seems to be Windblade's in the realm of Cityspeaking.
* VoiceForTheVoiceless: She and Hot Shot are Cityspeakers, like Windblade. They read the impulses of Caminus, trying to voice their dying Titan's concerns. She later helps heal Metroplex after ''Titans Return''.
* WideEyedIdealist: Lightbright believes in the best in other Bots, and even accepts the Decepticons with open arms.

!Devisiun

[[folder:Devisiuns in General]]
* ReimaginingTheArtifact: In this case, Micromaster Combiners. Their Metrotitan crashed, and died, on the planet Devisium. The intense gravity from a binary star split their sparks so they were born in pairs, transformed in pairs, and are basically a single being.

[[folder:Vanquish and Fireshot]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: Downplayed. While it's yet another case of a Decepticon(s) being reimagined as a more heroic character(s), Vanquish and Fireshot haven't really had any significant pieces of fiction beforehand, much less any where they've had a notable villainous role. Their main negative qualities are from their bios, and a continuity hiccup that was retconned to being a different character entirely.
* TheDividual: For the most part they're inseparable, though Fireshot gets to go on a solo adventure without his brother over the course of the ''Titans Return'' arc.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: It is implicitly a thing most if not all Devisiuns do.
* IdenticalStranger: What do you mean there was another [[ComicBook/TheTransformersDrift Vanquish]] who was full-sized and died? That's absurd, next thing you'll be telling us Hot Shot wasn't always a City Speaker.

!Eukaris

[[folder:Eukarians in General]]
* CanonImmigrant: They're all from the Beast Era, be it from the cartoon, the comics, or the toys.
* FantasticRacism: While Onyx Prime took the Beastformers from Cybertron because the Grand Cybertronian Taxomy lead to this trope, the Eukarians eventually subdivided amongst themselves. Now the Land, Sea, and Air dwellers all look at each other with distrust because of their alt-modes.

[[folder:Blackarachnia]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: The original Blackarachnia was a ruthless Predacon who eventually committed a HeelFaceTurn. Here she starts off as a neutral party in the conflict on Eukaris, though she's one of the more heroic characters encountered.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: The original Blackarachnia was a FemmeFatale who was conflicted about her role in the universe, and prone to lashing out. Here she's an oracle who's more subdued and confident about her beliefs.
* BigGood: Downplayed. She's above the planetary Factionalism, and takes in bots who've been cast from their tribes. It is she who pushes most for the contact with Cybertron, even after [[spoiler:the death of their Titan]].
* CanonImmigrant: It's noteworthy that her aesthetic draws heavily from WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated rather than any Beast Era design.
* MadOracle: [[spoiler:Subverted]]. [[spoiler:Initially]] she plays the trope straight as an arrow; being reclusive, enigmatic, giving vague prophecies and being prone to insane laughter. [[spoiler:However, despite being creepy and oracular, she's actually quite sane]].

[[folder:Chela]]
* TheCameo: In issue 8 of ''TAAO'', he appears as one of the three Titans to [[spoiler:oversee the exile of Vigilem.]]
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Starscream blows up his brain, and the explosion ruptures his optics from the inside out. Screamer blasts through one of his eyes in order to escape the dying Titan]].
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He's a Metrotitan but he doesn't look anything like the standard body type, being a Beast-former instead of a Standard-former.
* ThePhoenix: A Magnificent deified bird with a bring orange/yellow coat. He's designed after one [[spoiler:but he is not immortal]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His duty is to protect Eukarians from Cybertronians should they ever return to try and exterminate the beasts. When they come to forge a peace with the Eukarians, he attacks.

!Carcer

[[folder:Carcer in General]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: They are a fairly brutal yet reasonable faction who claim peaceful intentions, but are suspicious of outsiders. Contrast the silly antics of Lancer and Greenlight with the militarism of Obsidian and Strika.
* ArmCannon: Unlike most Transformers, theirs are incorporated into their arms like in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''.
* TheAtoner: They're all members of, or descendants of members from, [[spoiler:Liege Maximo's tribe. They've taken up being his jailers.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: They may have followed [[spoiler:Liege Maximo and lied for the greater good]] but they were appalled by [[spoiler:Megatronus' murder of Solus Prime.]]
* ReverseArmFold: Everyone does this. It reinforces their appearance as a disciplined fighting force.

[[folder:Carcer/Tempo/[[spoiler:Vigilem]]]]
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Despite his death, he was ultimately successful in freeing his master, Liege Maximo.]]
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Against Windblade, [[spoiler: he wins.]]
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: In combat he deploys two swords from his wrists.
* CoolMask: This Titan has a retractable face mask.
* [[HumanResources Cybertronian Resources]]: [[spoiler: After he dies, Elita mentions they're going to cannibalize his parts to rebuild Iacon before being turned back to starship mode and resuming his role as Carcer.]]
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:When Elita One states that she wouldn't allow him or Liege Maximo to run free, his mocks her failure to do so with his [[FamousLastWords last words]].]]
* TheDreaded: Even ''Metroplex'' is scared of him.
* FamousLastWords[=/=]TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In four words to Elita One, [[spoiler:"Then you have failed."]]
* GrandTheftMe: Both the victim, and guilty, of it.
* MeaningfulRename: The Titan was originally named Tempo when it left with its crew of philosophers. In the present day, the Titan is named Carcer, the Latin word for "prison," and inhabited by soldiers. [[spoiler: Possibly subverted if this is a different Titan entirely. Later played straight as the other Titans meant to show Vigilem that he was a prisoner in his own body and a prison for Liege Maximo.]]
* MysteriousPast: Carcer was originally a Titan called Tempo who housed pacifistic philosophers.

[[spoiler:Of course this all comes into question when Windblade reveals that Carcer was the title of a completely different Titan. Subverted when it turns out masking as Tempo was just a trick by Vigilem and he was rebranded Carcer as a sign of his imprisonment]].
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Carcer means jail or prison in Latin.
* [[RedEyesTakeWarning Red Optics, Take Warning]]
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[spoiler:He saves Cybertron from the undead Titans so he can destroy it.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: A few hints and rumblings hint that this Titan was one of the more malicious ones. [[spoiler:Indeed Vigilem is probably the only one who serves an evil master and agenda.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards his master, [[spoiler: Liege Maximo]].
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:He transforms and has some back and forth with Windblade before Elita destroys his brain.]]

[[folder:Elita One]]
* FashionableAsymmetry: One crest on her head is cracked while the other is intact.
* IGaveMyWord: She swore to keep [[spoiler: Vigilem and Liege Maximo locked up forever as well as hiding that they even existed.]] Even a Titan Apocalypse can't motivate her to break it.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Her reasons for hiding [[spoiler: Liege Maximo's existence]] are pretty reasonable. She doesn't really know any of the other colonists, she's kept him under wraps for millions of years and the [[TheStarscream ruler of Cybertron]] openly lied to her face when they first met.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Metroplex's opinion of her for allowing [[spoiler: Vigilem to remain alive.]]
* WillNotTellALie: She enforces this idea with the policy "Better Death than Lies." Though, as befitting a potential threat such as her, she can and will omit the truth. She also says she has no obligation to correct any lies she hears.

[[folder:Obsidian]]
* BadassBureaucrat: As Elita's right hand and member of the Council of Worlds Obsidian possesses a sharp wit. In the first issue of TAAO alone he establishes himself as a very difficult political opponent to Starscream.

* WillNotTellALie: She enforces this idea with the policy "Better Death than Lies." Though, as befitting a potential threat such as her, she can and will omit the truth.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In four words to Elita One, [[spoiler:"Then you have failed."]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: During [[spoiler:the battle for Carcer]], he sees through every play before Elita does and heads to protect the brain module.

* EyeScream: One of his eyes is missing, leaving a big, gaping hole in his face.

* HesBack: In issue 5, he transforms back to robot mode with new optics and a voice.

* CompositeCharacter: He's ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'' Starscream in a body based on ''Anime/TransformersArmada Starscream'' written in the vein of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' Starscream.

* MeaningfulRename: The Metrotitan was originally named Tempo when it left with its crew of philosophers. In the present day, the Titan is named Carcer, the Latin word for "prison," and inhabited by soldiers. [[spoiler: Possibly subverted if this is a different Titan entirely. Later played straight as the other Titans meant to show Vigilem that he was a prisoner in his own body and a prison for Liege Maximo.]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvt: During [[spoiler:the battle for Carcer]], he sees through every play before Elita does and heads to protect the brain module.

** As of the last issue, his ramblings now make sense, he's talking about [[spoiler:The other Titans who became colonies, and the Transformers born from them. The second passage in particular refers to such transformers later seen by Windblade: Fleet of Foot (Two cars racing on a Velocitron-like planet), Fierce as beasts (Fuzors), Paired forevermore but called least by fools (The two Micromaster Combiners - who are pairs of robots who merge to form their alt mode.)]]

* ShipTease: After trading barbs with Lightbright, the two end up working together and later dating.

* CompositeCharacter: He's Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Starscream in a body based on Anime/TransformersArmada Starscream written in the vein of WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Starscream.

* CanonImmigrant: From WesternAnimation/BeastWars

* CanonImmigrant: From WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated.
* ShipTease: With Sparkstalker.

* CanonImmigrant: From Anime/TransformersCybertron.

* AdaptationalHeroism: He's still a vain jerk, but he's a neutral in this continuity, rather than a Decepticon. His medical expertise is just be another facet of Velocitron's Speed obsessed society, and he isn't the MadDoctor of Prime.

* CampGay: He's still the effeminate bot he was back in the Prime Cartoon, but the comic canonizes his attraction to Breakdown.
* CanonImmigrant: From WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime.

* BattleintheCenteroftheMind: Against Windblade, [[spoiler: he wins.]]

* CoolMask: The Titan has a retractable face mask.
* TheDreaded: Even Metroplex is scared of him.

* TokenEvilTeammate: A few hints and rumblings hint that this Titan was one of the more malicious ones.[[spoiler:Indeed Vigilem is probably the only one who serves an evil master and agenda.]]

* CanonImmigrant: From WesternAnimation/BeastMachines

* CanonImmigrant: Strika originated in WesternAnimation/BeastMachines but her design here also borrows elements from WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated.

* ShoutOut: His design invokes Loki.

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Loses an arm to Starscream]].

* AdvertisedExtra: Of all the characters given preview pictures, Ironhide has the least impact on the miniseries.

* BewareTheHonestOnes: While Elita contents herself with MetaphoricallyTrue, Obsidian embraces this trope as the LivingLieDetector of Carcer. When Obsidian's placed on the council he condemn's Optimus's actions toward annexation, and begins to challenge Starscream's own authority and the corruption within the justice system. Obsidian even brings in Ironhide in to act as a third party because of Ironside's trustworthiness.

[[folder:Carcer in General/[[spoiler: Vigilem]]]]

* BladeBelowTheShoulder
* CoolMask
* [[spoiler: TheDreaded: Even Metroplex is scared of him.]]

* [[spoiler: TheOnlyOneAllowedtoDefeatYou: He saves Cybertron from the undead Titans so he can destroy it.]]
* ReverseArmFold: Everyone does this. It reinforces their appearance as a disciplined fighting force.
* [[spoiler: TokenEvilTeammate: Vigilem was this for the Titans.]]

* [[spoiler: WeHardlyKnewYe: He transforms and has some back and forth with Windblade before Elita destroys his brain.]]

* HiveMind: All Metrotitans are connected and aware of one another.

* LastOfHisKind: Implied, with the Metrotitans aged to the point where many had died. The Titan Hunters killed many of the survivors, and [[spoiler:several of the MIA Titans, including Caminus, willingly sacrificed themselves to make home worlds more inhabitable for their children]].
* MadOracle / VaguenessIsComing: Metrotitans do not perceive time and space as humans or regular transformers do, as such, his conversations with Windblade (And he can talk about multiple topics at once) include numerous vaguely prophetic sayings. There's been one in the two first issues:

** As of the last issue, his ramblings now make sense, he's talking about [[spoiler:The other Metrotitans who became colonies, and the Transformers born from them. The second passage in particular refers to such transformers later seen by Windblade: Fleet of Foot (Two cars racing on a Velocitron-like planet), Fierce as beasts (Fuzors), Paired forevermore but called least by fools (The two Micromaster Combiners - who are pairs of robots who merge to form their alt mode.)]]

* TimeAbyss: The first and oldest of the Metrotitans, the rest of whom were said to have accompanied the Knights of Cybertron in their voyages into the universe. Metroplex is literally millions of years old, having been built long before the war.
* TheVoiceless: Apparently his vocal processors have been damaged since his Spotlight issue, so Windblade or another Autobot reads the pulses of light from his brain and speaks for him.

[[folder:Carcer in General]]

* MeaningfulRename: The Metrotitan was originally named Tempo when it left with its crew of philosphers. In the present day, the Titan is named Carcer, the Latin word for "prison," and inhabited by soldiers. [[spoiler: Possibly subverted if this is a different Titan entirely.]]
* MysteriousPast: Carcer was originally a Titan called Tempo who housed pacifistic philosophers. When we finally meet them Elita notes that years of hard times and survival sharpened them into a deadly fighting unit. [[spoiler:Of course this all comes into question when Windblade reveals that Carcer was the title of a completely different Titan]].

* CanonImmigrant: From WesternAnimation/TransformersBeastMachines

* CanonImmigrant: Strika originated in WesternAnimation/TransformersBeastMachines but her design here also borrows elements from WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated.

* AdaptationalHeroism: The most genuinely heroic version of the character to date. Previous Octane/Tankor roles had him as a DirtyCoward or a good guy out of convenience. Here he's made a genuine HeelFaceTurn
* HeelFaceTurn: The one genuine example from back in RID. Unlike Sqwawkbox and Swindle who soon went back to being Decepticons, Tankor put that behind him for good to help Cybertron.

[[folder:Ironhide]]
-->"Faithless"
[[quoteright:100:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ironhide2-windblade_7533.jpg]]
* AdvertisedExtra: Of all the characters given preview pictures, Ironhide has the least impact on the miniseries.
* CoolOldGuy
* CrisisOfFaith: Put his faith into a vision he saw of the future, where Cyberutopia had finally been achieved. Unfortunately for him, the planet where this happened, Gorlam Prime, was destroyed during ''Dark Cybertron'', meaning the vision was false.
* TheEeyore: He's downright mopey, according to Chromia.

[[folder:Sparkstalker]]
* AnArmAndALeg: A scuffle with Sandstorm ended with the Autobot blowing off both Sparkstalker's legs.
* BreathWeapon: Firecons all have an inborn ability to breath fire, hence the name.
* CategoryTraitor: The Decepticons have not taken his palling around with the Autobots well, nor the Camiens. Even him encouraging Acid Storm to at least talk to some religious bots earns him a few derogatory words. Despite this he still hangs out with them, even if he isn't interested in the resurgence.
* {{Expy}}: He's [[Film/GodzillaVsGigan Gigan]], but pinker and more chibi.
* HeelFaceTurn: Post Punishment he's thrown his lot in the the neutrals and Camiens, moving away from the Decepticons.
* MundaneUtility: It is said that the Firecons breathed fire so hot it burned an atmosphere and sentenced thousands of Autobots to a burning grave. That their fire was reverse engineered into horrific weapons that incinerated Autobots from the inside out. Sparkstalker also uses his fire to weld things, as you do.
* ShipTease: After trading barbs with Lightbright, the two end up working together and later dating.
* SourSupporter: To contrast the more optimistic (Tall) Tankor, Sparkstalker giving aid to the Camiens consisted of him snarking, and complaining, but doing his part in helping them get back on their feet.
