History Funny / TransformersPrime

'''Knock Out:''' ''(shudders)'' Megatron sure knows how to patch things up.

* There's also the commercial in which Megatron sings for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKjBViIt-y8&list=PLF6DBC6E1230FB115 a summer promo]] alongside [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]] and [[WesternAnimation/DanVs Dan]]. Funnier still was the {{Mondegreen}} that resulted of [[AccidentalInnuendo his line]].

* Watch Starscream's wings ''flutter'' when he's gloating to Shockwave about killing Cliffjumper for the hundredth time. Knock Out's jab afterwards just adds to it.
--> '''[[DeadpanSnarker Knock Out]]:''' Careful, Starscream, you might dislocate a landing gear patting yourself on the back.

'''Bumblebee:''' ''[Beeps]]''\\

* Ratchet hijacking the kids' science projects, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsGzSD9CgP0 which can be seen here]].

* Megatron grabs the two closest Vehicons and hurls them off the ''Nemesis'' to pursue a freefalling Smokescreen in "Inside Job", but only one of them has a jet alt-mode. The other one screams all the way down. Becomes a quick BrickJoke when a few minutes later, we see him hit the ground.

--> ''"Grandma? Is it cookie time?"''\\
''"The emu says, 'YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!"''\\

* Once Starscream saves himself by appealing to Shockwave's sense of logic, and getting him to back off, Megatron notes their "Exemplary teamwork" before moving on.

-->"(...) she opened the door to find him working with a "study group" that included Miko Nakadai, Jack Darby, and [[OneOfTheseThingsIsNotLikeTheOthers Agent William Fowler of the United States government]]. Hopefully, she did not find this odd."

--> '''Starscream''': Do not worry. Your punishment shall mearly be... cosmetic.\\

* In fact, "Speed Metal" is best to be summarized as "What will happen to a human who pressed a cybertronian's berserk button?" Two humans had demonstrated the consequences to the audience, with one of them did it twice-- one on Arcee and another on Bumblebee.

* After Arcee tells Miko she has to return to base, Miko complains that Arcee is just as bad as June. Everyone at base is listening in on this, including June.

* Almost bordering on a ''very'' late IronicEchoCut, Jack idly taps [[spoiler: the key to Vector Sigma]] on a railing after being told that he's grown to become responsible. To be fair, Optimus told him it was a part for the ground bridge and not one of their most important artifacts.

** His expression change immediately before makes it even funnier - going from the most shocked expression imaginable to "...I'm going to have do paperwork because of this, aren't I?"

* "It won't just rock your world, it'll ''transform'' it." What are the odds they'd see ''that'' commercial, right then? Not to mention [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:UrbanaOffendsBumblebee01.jpg their expressions]] immediately afterwards, including the OhCrap on both the kids, and Bumblebee's eye twitching.

* "And the award for best use of a shield generator in a supporting role goes to: Knock Out!" Which leads to a funny bit of Fridge Brilliance, as the joke itself was an obvious reference to the Academy Awards. Aside from the knowledge of how to avoid drawing attention to themselves and the occasional human but of technology that may come in handy to them, most Decepticons have been shown to be rather oblivious to human society and culture due to [[FantasticRacism the belief that humans are primitive and inferior to Cybertronians.]] Knock Out, on the other hand, actively sought out a unique human automobile that suited his tastes despite being fully capable of taking an alt-mode with flight as an added bonus, and also took place in street races orchestrated by humans.

* Being savaged by an Insecticon is a profoundly unfunny experience, as Arcee, Starscream, and Megatron will attest... but the look on Screamer's face when the thing come after him is utterly hilarious.

* Earlier, Fowler turns on his radio to reveal that he's a fan of [[WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie The Touch]] and hums along in an off key manner.

* The cuffed Starscream tries to sweet talk both Prime and Dreadwing, switching to whoever just showed up or looks to be in the lead. Neither of them pays any attention to him.

* Smokescreen's sheer giddyness about meeting Optimus, and everyone else simply giving a "Yes, we know" type of response.

* Miko, Jack, and Fowler having to groundbridge into Raf's house in order to get his computer expertise. When his mother asks him what is going on, his only response is "Study Group!" Miko's [[OhCrap reaction]] to Raf's mother coming in is also hilarious.

* Megatron gloating about how he destroyed Optimus's Star Saber. To Soundwave, no less.

* Apparently the Autobots have been recovering gear from their old base. They got the ground bridge back up and running, but Ultra Magnus says there's not much else recovered. Wheeljack then reveals that the lobbing ball survived, at which point, he tosses it at an unaware Bulkhead, it richochets off him, and almost hits Jack and Miko. It's not so much that he almost killed them, but that it accidentally blocked Fowler in his office.

* Wheeljack snuck out of base to make Ultra Magnus's engines more efficient. It's the fact he did something so mundane and managed to make Magnus look silly that makes it hilarious. Also, the fact that he was covered in coolant is something you'd normally expect him having from killing rather than fixing. Also counts as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} on Wheeljack's part, in its own weird way.

* Earlier in the episode, when Starscream is pleading to Megatron, Megatron rolls his eyes. Then [[spoiler:Predaking transforms]]. Cue an OhCrap expression from not only Starscream, but '''Megatron''' (his was smaller, but still there).

* Megatron's OhCrap expression [[spoiler: when Optimus is about to attack with the Star Saber]] is absolutely priceless. Heck, even [[TheWikiRule TF Wiki]] has that as the main image for its [[http://www.tfwiki.net/wiki/Legacy article of the episode]].

* Also from "Shadowzone":
---> '''Optimus:''' Ratchet, can you use the cell phone's signal to triangulate the children's location?\\

** A heartfelt reunion between Jack and his mother:
--->'''Jack:''' Mom, I-\\

--->'''Arcee''': (''Crouched behind a pillar watching the Space Bridge with Bulkhead'') Thank you, Starscream.\\

--->'''Knock Out:''' This is going to be ''juicy.''

--->'''Shockwave:''' [[CasualDangerDialogue Soundwave. I require a Ground Bridge.]]

--->'''Soundwave:''' *nods*

* When Arcee jumps through the 'Cons' Ground Bridge and goes on a [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge badass rampage]] inside the ''Nemesis,'' looking for [[spoiler: Optimus/Orion Pax]], Knock Out gives the funniest response imaginable.

* Starscream returning to the Deception ship and taking out two guards to basically raid the fridge.
** The way he carries his loot off is an amusing visual gag as well. Even better is his reaction when [[spoiler:Orion Pax]] asks if he's truly suggesting that [[ObviouslyEvil Megatron]] could ''possibly'' speak a falsehood.
*** He then proceeds to ''hide behind'' [[spoiler:Orion]] when some Vehicons drop by.
** When the Autobots interrogate him for the location of the Decepticon base, it leads to this gem of a line.
--->[[spoiler:'''Starscream''':]] "Well, I don’t know where it is now! [[CaptainObvious It’s a ship, it]] ''[[CaptainObvious moves]]''!"
* Megatron: "...and the first to address [[spoiler: Orion]] as "[[spoiler:Optimus Prime]]" will have their voice box torn out." It's the [[BreadEggsMilkSquick completely deadpan]] way he says it that makes it all the more hilarious in a [[BlackComedy dark humored]] way.
** "Warlord Ratchet, the doctor of doom."
*** Keep in mind that in "Stronger, Faster" Ratchet called ''himself'' "Your Doctor of Doom" before trying to kill Megatron while high on Synth-En, which is probably what gave Megatron the idea.
** There's also the fact that Megatron chooses to paint ''[[GrumpyOldMan Rat]][[DeadpanSnarker chet]]'' as the BigBad.
* The "status report" scene, especially Bulkhead trying to disguise his voice and Fowler's ''StarWars'' ShoutOut. The [[OhCrap look of panic on his face]] is pure gold.
** Even more hilarious is Breakdown's reaction to Fowler asking how he is. He's actually momentarily ''rendered speechless by it''.
*** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent You can also see Raf facepalm as Fowler said it]].
*** Breakdown's response to ''that'' qualifies due to being completely unexpected. Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.
** There's also Arcee figuring out who gave Ratchet and Bulkhead the information about the second Space Bridge's location.
--->'''Arcee''': (''Crouched behind a pillar watching the Space Bridge with Bulkhead'') Thank you [[spoiler:Starscream]].\\

* YMMV, but the way [[spoiler:Orion]] dispatches the Vehicons in "Orion Pax, Part 3" could be this. To summarize, [[spoiler:he's being kicked around while trying to preach to the Vehicons doing it to stop. He yells "Enough!" and whips out his guns, only just realizing they're there, then kills the Mooks while firing blindly.]]
** The complete confusion in his voice when he realizes he has guns is pretty funny on its own.
---> "Ah... I'm... armed?"
* "It won't just rock your world, it'll ''transform'' it." What are the odds they'd see ''that'' commercial, right then?
** Not to mention [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:UrbanaOffendsBumblebee01.jpg their expressions]] immediately afterwards, including the OhCrap on both the kids, and Bumblebee's eye twitching.
*** Continuing on with that, when Raf tells Bumblebee that he's still awesome and speed isn't everything, in comes Jack and Arcee:
---->*Jack rides in on Arcee, popping a wheelie*
---->'''Jack:''' "Personal best, Arcee! You hit 120 easy!"
---->*Bumblebee looks at them dumbly for a second, before promptly giving them both a DeathGlare*
---->'''Jack:''' "Oh."
---->'''Arcee:''' "Uh Oh."
** They say that last part at the same time too.
** "For Primus' sake, will ''someone'' keep him occupied?"
** Ratchet, after picking up Raf after school: "You want to ride with the siren on?" (Also a SugarWiki/{{heartwarming moment|s}} considering the circumstances.)
*** "Thank you, friend of Jack's mom! Who is a nurse! Who works at the hospital!"
** Bumblebee riding the pick-up truck like a skateboard is both hilarious and tragic.

* "Better at breaking things." (Bulkhead lets out a sigh of relief that he won't be doing the T-cog transfer)

** Before that, Fowler speaks slowly to Bumblebee as if he can't understand English. It's funny, if somewhat [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold jerk-ish]].
* The LaserGuidedKarma involving Starscream at the end of "Operation Bumblebee, Part 2".
** "Do you ever ''not'' speak?"
** Starscream just sounds so childish and petty when taunting Bumblebee.
---> "Time to jet, because I ''can!''"
* "And the award for best use of a shield generator in a supporting role goes to: Knock Out!"
** Which leads to a funny bit of FridgeBrilliance, as the joke itself was an obvious reference to the Academy Awards. Aside from the knowledge of how to avoid drawing attention to themselves and the occasional human but of technology that may come in handy to them, most Decepticons have been shown to be rather oblivious to human society and culture due to [[FantasticRacism the belief that humans are primitive and inferior to Cybertronians.]] Knock Out, on the other hand, actively sought out a unique human automobile that suited his tastes despite being fully capable of taking an alt-mode with flight as an added bonus, and also took place in street races orchestrated by humans.

** The awkward moment of the ''huge'' Optimus sitting cramped inside Wheeljack's (comparatively) tiny ship.
*** It's the look on his face, coupled with the impatient (for Optimus) way he drums his fingers on his knees, that really does it.
** The 'Bots' threat to Dreadwing at the end basically boils down to, "If we all die, we're going to haunt you."
** Wheeljack's looking at all that rubble and it's clear he's thinking, at least a little bit, "Ah, scrap..."
--->'''Optimus:''' "If you will not take orders from me, that is one thing. But when you place one of my Autobots in danger..."\\
'''Wheeljack:''' "With all due respect sir, Bulkhead knew the risks; every Wrecker does. I'm sure he's just... uh... somewhere in this rubble."
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext Bulkhead apologizing to the fish.]]
* The first time Agent Fowler gives Skyquake his alt mode, it was an accident. When he gave Airachnid ''her'' alt mode, he's an idiot. By the time he gave ''Dreadwing'' '''his''' alt mode, it's ''priceless.''

* From "Crossfire", this gem of a taunt from Airachnid to Breakdown: "I know we've never seen ''eyes-to-eye'', but that doesn't mean we can't ''patch'' things up."
** [[spoiler:[[BodyHorror What she does]] [[KilledOffForReal to Breakdown afterward]] [[FunnyAneurysmMoment makes this a lot less funny]].]]
** From the same episode: Being savaged by an Insecticon is a profoundly unfunny experience, as Arcee, Starscream, and Megatron will attest... but the look on Screamer's face when the thing come after him is utterly hilarious.
* From "Nemesis Prime", right after Bulkhead manages to catch Fowler in his car which was falling, he seems a little delirious for a second... then his airbag goes off.
** Earlier, Fowler turns on his radio to reveal that he's a fan of [[WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie The Touch]] and hums along in an off key manner.
* From "Grill", the whole episode is basically a recap episode and Fowler's superior is doubting a lot of what Fowler is saying, including that Optimus is still alive. Eventually, Fowler just ''calls'' Prime to let him know that the General is concerned about his health and well being. Prime promptly shows up ''right next to the building'' with:
--> '''Prime''': "I am fine, General Bryce. How are you?"
** Not to mention the way the camera angle jostles and changes, indicating the poor private tasked with recording the session has staggered backwards and is now on the floor.
*** An added bonus is that the camera's battery is almost dead, and in fact dies at the very end of the episode. Hurray for budget cuts!
** This exchange after Fowler details the Unicron incident.
--->'''General Bryce:''' It defies all logic, Bill. Dark Energon? Then you go on record saying that you believe in magical horses with horns on their heads.
--->'''{{Beat}}'''
--->'''Fowler:''' [[FlatWhat What]]?
--->'''General Bryce:''' Do you deny previously reporting that Megatron helped [[{{Callback}} defeat a unicorn]]?
--->'''Fowler:''' Oh? That's what you...? Uni''cron''! The ultimate evil! Permission to strike this from the record.
** The fact that Fowler flies a jet without a flight suit is finally lampshaded and justified. Apparently, Ratchet installed some tech in his plane that allows him to survive the g-forces while just wearing his normal suit.
--->"I like to feel comfortable."
** The RunningGag about Fowler accidentally giving Decepticons their flight modes also pops up, as we see clips of all three instances so far back to back. It actually makes them even funnier.
** Fowler trying to explain the kids' involvement, without letting on that they are, in fact, minors.
*** Especially describing Miko's skill as "[[MotorMouth Communication.]]"
*** Followed by a series of the most memorable Miko quotes of the series - which are even funnier back-to-back.
*** Fowler claims that the kids know how to take orders. Cue a clip of Jack at KO Burger, [[ExactWords taking someone's order]].
* In "Armada" when Starscream finds out just how unfair the [[spoiler: cloning process]] went for him: [[spoiler: The clones got Transformation Cogs (which he lost), and [[{{Synchronization}} he feels their pain]]. He doesn't discover that last part until one of them has a fatal confrontation with Bulkhead]].
** Bulkhead attempting to be stealthy. He's not very good at it.
** Also, just listening to [[spoiler:all the clones]] talk with each other was pretty funny. Creator/SteveBlum must've had fun recording this episode.
** The [[OhCrap reaction]] of an Insecticon right before flying into a tree and crashing into Airachnid.
** The back-and-forth between Megatron and the clones:
--->'''Clone 1''': No, you're trying to trick us!\\

** Bulkhead, upon returning to base.
--->'''Bulkhead''': Guys, you are not gonna ''believe'' the day I had! ''(Beat, Bulkhead notices [[spoiler: Airachnid in stasis]])'' ...oh, you too, huh?
** The fact that the only person to do real damage to Megatron (or his ship) in this episode was '''''Bulkhead''''', the least stealthy, bulkiest Autobot in the main team--and ''none of the Decepticons ever knew he was there''.
*** Plus his constant mantra of "Stealthy, stealthy... " while he tiptoes around. Bulkhead. ''Tiptoeing''.
*** And his expression on running into a hastily departing Starscream clone, seemingly BackFromTheDead after [[PunchPunchPunchUhOh having beaten him to death]], is priceless.
** Megatron's ThisIsGonnaSuck expression when announcing that the ship was going to crash is just hilarious, especially given how uncharacterstic it is.
** After Starscream kills his last clone:
--->'''Starscream:''' I feel your pain. ''Really, I do''... *clenches teeth and aims; screen goes to black as he fires* '''''[[ScreamDiscretionShot AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGHHH!]]''''' ''Scrap'', that hurt!
** After Bulkhead and one of the Starscream clones run into each other, there's this line from the clone after Bulkhead asks him what he's doing there:
--->"Why is it that every time I return to my old stomping grounds, I find an Autobot roaming the halls?"
* From "Flying Mind" we have Fowler proving once again, he's the master of the NonSequiturThud.
-->'''Miko:''' On your feet, soldier!
-->'''Fowler:''' And beavers, and ducks, and walnuts, and grandma! *Thud*
** At the end of the episode, Knock Out is waking up after being hit with a stun beam and sees Jack. He takes out his drill and threatens Jack, but then Ratchet shows up and floors Knock Out with one punch, making this scene hilarious (and awesome).
--->'''Knock Out:''' Say ahhh...
--->'''Ratchet:''' I'm here to offer a second opinion! *punch*
** When Ratchet questions the kids' idea to contact Megatron to see why the ship is out of control, the kids reply by doing a shrug. He then turns to Fowler who shrugs in the exact same way, which looks a bit silly.
** There's something very funny about how realistically the kids and Fowler are climbing up Knock Out in order to use the data upload.
--->'''Miko:''' Looks like Doc Knock is ''[[IncrediblyLamePun knocked out.]]''
** What could be more funny than using a frozen Megatron's own ''weight'' as he's falling backwards to pull a lever?
* From "Tunnel Vision", more of Fowler's delirium talk.

** The entire episode is basically a long HumiliationConga for Knock Out. Getting partnered with an Insecticon, getting hit by a train twice, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking getting his finish scratched...]]
*** His [[BigNo reaction]] when he sees the results of stopping a train with his face.
** "[[BlatantLies We lost our dog]]!"
* From "Triangulation" we have Starscream on a Cybertronian hover-scooter.

** Starscream learns about Dreadwing's promotion.
---> '''Starscream''': First Lieutenant!?!?! That's my post!\\

** Despite how badass it was that Starscream escaped with the Apex Armor, it's still pretty funny that he now has to walk all the way back from Antarctica in order to repair himself.
*** [[WalkDontSwim Along the ocean floor]], no less!
** This bit, as Starscream is being taken down.
---> '''Starscream''': [[EvilGloating You will not escape my might]]! Wait... You two are up to something.
** This moment from Starscream and Optimus after the latter's first duel with Dreadwing:
--->'''Starscream:''' If you could just remove my bonds, I will lead you straight to the relic.
--->'''Optimus charges his cannon.'''
--->'''Optimus:''' You will lead me there regardless.
--->'''Starscream:''' [[SarcasmMode You're welcome.]]
** The cuffed Starscream tries to sweet talk both Prime and Dreadwing, switching to whoever just showed up or looks to be in the lead. Neither of them pays any attention to him.
** [[TheComicallySerious Optimus]], of all 'bots, manages to trash talk Starscream when he brags after obtaining the Apex Armor.
--->'''Starscream:''' Not only am I intelligent, I am invincible!
--->'''Optimus:''' Yet, you cannot fly.
--->'''Starscream:''' Nobody's ''perfect''.
* From "Triage", almost all of Ratchet and Wheeljack's interactions with each other are hilarious.
** Knock Out's reaction to finding a bomb inside Laserbeak.
--->'''Knock Out''': '''''GRENADE!''''' *ducks and covers*
** Bomb disposal procedures on the ''Nemesis'' leave a lot to be desired...
---> '''Megatron:''' Knock Out, prepare to properly dispose of the obstruction.
---> ([[GilliganCut Cut to Knock Out running frantically through the halls of the ship with the bomb]])
** As Megatron orders Knock Out to "properly dispose of the obstruction" Knock Out is still on the floor shaking. He then stops for a brief moment as his eyes widen, realizing just what Megatron meant by "dispose of".
** Megatron's reaction to the ensuing explosion makes it doubly hilarious - he listens for secondary explosions (almost looking like he was hoping the first one took Knock Out with it), hears none, and goes right back to what he was saying like nothing happened. Even funnier is that from Megatron's expression he was ''waiting for the explosion to happen at that very moment''.
*** Megatron and Soundwave in that entire sequence. Soundwave just looks on with his usual stoicism, while Megatron calmly admires the Autobots' ingenuity. Both are hilariously in contrast to Knock Out, who freaks out and ducks for cover.
** Knock Out ''ranting to Megatron about his paint job being damaged'':
---> '''Knock Out''': Can you believe what the Autobots '''did to me'''?!
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext Raf comparing Soundwave to a turducken.]]
** During the dogfight with Soundwave and Laserbeak, Wheeljack's ship almost collides with the side of a cliff until he pulls up at the last possible second. Ratchet's reaction to this? To ''scream like someone riding a roller coaster''.
** "Whatever you say... [[IronicNickname Sunshine]]."
* From "Toxicity", Fowler, before recovering, makes a ShoutOut to WebOriginal/LOLCats.

** Any time Fowler gets knocked loopy, HilarityEnsues.
* Knock Out's entire feud with the Insecticons in "Hurt", with him going so far as to call the Insecticon he was partnered up with "useless" to Hardshell's face.
** Even funnier, earlier, after a couple of Vehicons hear Hardshell bragging about what he did, they call him and the Insecticons "Pit-bound scavengers" and "Scrap eaters." Unfortunately for them, Hardshell hears them. A fight ensues and Knock Out after buffing himself comes out, only to scream and shut the door as a Vehicon slams against it. Unfortunately, the next time he opens the door, he gets hit by an Insecticon and his paint job gets ruined once again.
** Wheeljack and his grenades.
--->Reveals a huge container of grenades.
--->'''Miko:''' I thought you...
--->'''Wheeljack:''' I only carry ''one at a time.''
** Another one involving the grenades. Wheeljack takes his entire cache and peeks out of the back of the ''[[CoolStarship Jackhammer]]'' to try and see where to throw the first grenade. After a few moments, he reassesses the situation, goes "Screw it," and throws ''the entire cache of grenades'' into the Insecticon horde.
** In the very end, Megatron proves himself equal to Optimus in every way, including the ''FascinatingEyebrow''.
* "Out Of The Past" gives us Cliffjumper attempting to convince two Vehicons that he had joined the Decepticons.
** Starscream is arrogant as usual. It's the way he's totally dismissive of Cliffjumper and doesn't even taunt somebody who's helpless for once.
---> '''Cliffjumper:''' Arcee! Arcee! ''(to Starscream and Shockwave)'' I'll scrap you both!\\

** Cliff, in general, is very funny in how lightly he can handle the situations he's in.
** Miko basically shoving Bumblebee out of her way. Bee's expression is what sells it.
** This exchange:
---> '''Starscream:''' I would just eliminate [Arcee and Cliffjumper], but the code that they carry is too valuable! If I could only break them open and just take it!\\

* This exchange from "New Recruit":
-->'''Arcee:''' All those 'Cons came out of one pod?
-->'''Ratchet:''' Humans refer to the phenomenon as a "ClownCar!"
** What makes it so golden is how completely serious Ratchet is as he says this.
** Smokescreen's one-liner after defeating the Decepticon forces in the escape pod with an Energon explosion.
--->'''Smokescreen''': Woooo! Too hot for ya, 'Cons?!
** Smokescreen's sheer giddyness about meeting Optimus, and everyone else simply giving a "Yes, we know" type of response.
--->'''Smokescreen''': (in shock) I.. don't believe it. You're Optimus Prime! (looks to the others as he points back at Optimus) He's ''Optimus Prime''!
** Miko making Bulkhead do leg lifts.
** Starscream surfing the internet.
--->'''Starscream''': This is what they call the "information superhighway". A trillion gigabytes of data... ''and none of it is useful''! Though some of it is oddly engrossing...
*** He then spends several seconds staring at an animated gif of a dancing monkey in a tophat, chuckling.
*** Even better, that's one of Raf's troll icons for when he's protecting the Autobots' identities.
*** "The tap-dancing monkey strikes again!" *high five*
** Starscream comes to the dig site for the Red Energon, only to find that they already moved it.
--->'''Starscream''': The Red Energon is mine, humans! For you are ''powerless'' in the face of the ''mighty Star-'' ...what?
--->''(crickets)''
--->'''Starscream''': ...where ''is'' it?!
** Smokescreen calling Starscream a "[[CombatStilettos stiletto-heeled]] creep."
* In "The Human Factor", [[spoiler: Breakdown!Silas]] actually asks Knock Out to "[[TakeMeToYourLeader take him to his leader]]".
** Then there's Miko, Jack, and Fowler having to [=GroundBridge=] into Raf's house in order to get his computer expertise. When his mother asks him what is going on, his only response is "Study Group!"
*** Miko's [[OhCrap reaction]] to Raf's mother coming in is also hilarious.
*** A special mention goes to how [[TheWikiRule TF Wiki]] mentions the event on [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Raf%27s_mom Raf's mom's article]]:
---->"(...) she opened the door to find him working with a "study group" that included Miko Nakadai, Jack Darby, and [[OneOfTheseThingsIsNotLikeTheOthers Agent William Fowler of the United States government]]. Hopefully, she did not find this odd."
*** This exchange between Cylas and Megatron:
---->'''Cylas:''' Megatron, relax.
---->'''Megatron:''' (growls threateningly)
---->'''Cylas:''' ...Lord Megatron.
*** There's also Fowler using his stealth training to sneak out of Raf's room and down the hall to the bathroom, and Raf's objections to it.
---->'''Raf:''' I don't care if you were trained by a ninja! My mom's got eyes in the back of ''your'' head!
---->Later:
---->'''Fowler (sneaking back in):''' FYI, you're low on TP.
*** [[RunningGag And Bulkhead's still smashing things that Ratchet needs.]]
* "Legacy" gives us Jack and Smokescreen sabotaging Vince's car by stuffing it with fast food. Then do the same thing to Jack's boss at work.

** After Optimus [[spoiler: gets the Star Saber from the rock.]]
--->'''Smokescreen:''' I loosened it for him.
** And beforehand, in an ironic sense,
--->'''Smokescreen:''' Scrap! It's really in there tight. (gets shot in the back)
** After being told Smokescreen needs a human partner, we get this:
---> '''Ratchet:''' Isn't having three humans here ''enough''?
--->'''Everyone else:''' *stares*
*** If you look closely, Arcee's [[JawDrop mouth is open in a little "O"]].
** Bumblebee elbowing Bulkhead in the stomach after the latter made an inopportune observation. Apparently the gesture for "Dude, ''shut up''!" is as universal as a wave hello.
** Jack's reaction to being talked into sneaking along on a mission with Smokescreen.
--->'''Jack:''' Great, I just pulled a [[LeeroyJenkins Miko]].
** Megatron's OhCrap expression [[spoiler: when Optimus is about to attack with the Star Saber]] is absolutely priceless.
*** Heck, even [[TheWikiRule TF Wiki]] has that as the main image for its [[http://www.tfwiki.net/wiki/Legacy article of the episode]].
** Megatron's increasingly angry and annoyed attempt to pull the [[spoiler: Star Saber]] out of the rock, but failing.
*** Punctuated by shots of the Vehicons watching and looking to one another with a mildly confused air.
** It's very easy to miss, but as Optimus looks up at the ''Nemesis'', and thusly at the horrified Megatron, it looks as though he's ''winking'' (though it could also be a blink - the lighting in that scene makes it hard to tell. The TF wiki acknowledges it as a wink).
* When Smokescreen reveals how he survived Megatron's attack in "Alpha, Omega":

''*beat*''\\

** Even better is that after that Smokescreen asks Ratchet if the Phase Shifter can be his WeaponOfChoice. Ratchet, surprisingly, nonchalantly allows it.
** "So, did [[spoiler: Alpha Trion]] ask about me?"
** Ratchet's suggested method of keeping in touch with the kids:
---> "We could always... 'text' them."
** While all the Autobots are giddy about going back to Cybertron, Smokescreen drops this:
---> "But I just got here!"
* Megatron gloating about how he [[spoiler: destroyed Optimus's Star Saber]] in "Hard Knocks". To Soundwave, no less.

** Starscream complaining about how despite giving SuperSpeed, "Red energon takes twice as long to process!"
** Knock Out being a PungeonMaster while [[CurbStompBattle curbstomping]] Arcee and Bumblebee with the Resonance Blaster.
* Megatron grabs the two closest Vehicons and hurls them off the ''Nemesis'' to pursue a freefalling Smokescreen in "Inside Job", but only one of them has a jet alt-mode. The other one screams all the way down.

** Becomes a quick BrickJoke when a few minutes later, we see him hit the ground.
** Starscream facing off with [[spoiler: Slo-Mo]] Optimus Prime, Ratchet, and Bulkhead.
--->'''Optimus Prime''':[[spoiler: Auuuuuuuuuutooooooboooooooooots, maiiiiiintaaaaiiiiin poooooooosiiiiiitioooooooooon.]]
*** It gets better when [[spoiler: the Red Energon wears off while he's mocking the Autobots...]]
** Knock Out ending up [[spoiler: stuck in a wall]].
** Starscream sends the Autobots a message. The fact that Ratchet got bored of it really makes the moment.
--->'''Ratchet:''' A high frequency signal! (Deadpan) With an embedded message.
* "Patch" was worth having a clip show just to see Starscream dancing in a flashback. While the Vehicons chant "All hail Starscream!".
** And his reaction when he realizes Megatron was watching the whole time can be summarized as:
---> '''Starscream:''' Um... heh?
** When Megatron says they're going to look at Starscream's true motives, Starscream immediately goes into OhCrap mode.
--->'''Megatron:''' Now, where did we leave at? (making an impression) ''"All. Hail. Starscream"?''
*** Not to mention his reaction after seeing Starscream's treacherous monologues:
---->'''Megatron:''' Word of advice - ''stop thinking aloud''.
*** Which is paid off as a BrickJoke a few scenes later:
---->'''Starscream:''' ''I do transform with an exceptional sense of style''... I said that out loud, didn't I?
** Knock Out's rather gleeful reaction when he sees Starscream's dancing and asking for chants of "All Hail Starscream".

** When they reach Knock Out acting as Starscream's accomplice in "Sick Mind", Knock Out panics and attempts to fast-forward past the aforementioned flashback.
--->'''Knock Out:''' Uh oh! (''frantically'') Does this thing have a fast forward button? Or better yet, erase?!
*** Later:
---->'''Megatron:''' Infighting has nearly destroyed the Decepticons during your absence. We must operate as a united front if we are to revive and conquer Cybertron. ''(looks at Knock Out)'' That means each and every one of us, Knock Out.\\

** And his reaction to finding out what Starscream did to Skyquake's corpse, due to the fact that [[AngstySurvivingTwin Dreadwing]] is ''standing right behind him''. Doubly hilarious because it practically sums up the episode as a whole.
--->'''Knock Out:''' (rubs his head) ''Awkward''...
* Starscream, when confronted by an angry Dreadwing and ditched by Knock Out in "Regeneration", reaches for something to defend himself with and grabs... a really small drill. That Dreadwing renders useless in seconds.

-->'''Starscream''': Casualties are an unfortunate consequence of war! But I assure you your twin met his end with great honor!
-->'''Dreadwing''': WHICH YOU '''''DISGRACED''''' BY RAISING HIM FROM THE DEAD!
-->'''Starscream''': Oh, you know about that...
** Then there are their attempts at getting the Omega Keys to work: [[PercussiveMaintenance smacking them on the table]].
--->'''Knock Out:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh gee, why didn't I think of that]]?!
** Knock Out and Starscream starting a key duel (which was initiated after Starscream scratched Knock Out's paint job), only to find out that combining the keys is what makes them work.
*** And then they have the audacity ''[[AchievementsInIgnorance to pat themselves on the back for it.]]''
---->'''Starscream:''' (smugly) And ''that'' is why Dreadwing is pushing up lugnuts.\\

*** The fact that [[VisualPun Knock Out is a car, and got keyed.]]
** Starscream's expression when Dreadwing says he's going to kill him looks as if he's thinking "Really? ''Really''?" before it changes to pure terror. This is just after he's gotten his t-cog back, too.

* In "Darkmount, NV", Megatron grows frustrated with his Vehicons' inability to deal with Arcee:
-->'''Megatron:''' How long does it take to exterminate a lone Autobot and her human pet!?
-->'''Starscream:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Well, in my experience...]]
-->'''Megatron:''' ''Not'' a riddle, Starscream!
* When Starscream catches a photo of Ratchet on the internet in "Scattered", Raf just so happened to have found it at the same time. So as Starscream gets Megatron's attention, Raf replaces the image with a dancing monkey. Knock Out laughs, but then quickly regains his composure when Megatron looks at him.

-->'''Bulkhead & Wheeljack''': (in unison) What's a dragon?
** And later, when the mine explodes: "Yes! Snuff the Tragic Dragon!"

** ''Better than that!'' Just before he asks Ratchet, you can see a look of absolute horror on the Doc bot's face. Like he hadn't expected her to be so openly rude in front of someone like Magnus. Doesn't know her very well, does he?

* In "Rebellion", Megatron's so fed up with Starscream's copout that he doesn't even bother to chew him out verbally.

-->'''Starscream:''' ''(squinting at the horizon)'' I know that color scheme...
-->''(Megatron's eyes widen.)''
-->'''Starscream:''' Wait. He can't fly. Can he?
* Smokescreen [[spoiler: missing out on the whole Darkmount battle.]]

-->'''[[spoiler:Optimus]]:''' (''surprised'') Commander?
-->'''Magnus:''' Sir, you're looking... robust.
** The Vehicons that took the other Autobots hostage are so dumbfounded by this turn of events they actually ''stand still long enough to get hit.'' Complete with the Autobots looking around at their adversaries in disbelief before pulling out their weapons.
** Later, when [[spoiler: Darkmount starts to go up,]] Ultra Magnus orders the rest of the Autobots to fall back. Cut to Shockwave, [[CurbStompBattle who's taking on Bulkhead and Wheeljack single-handedly, and winning.]] Then Bumblebee and Arcee come roaring up in vehicle mode and use the intimidating giant ''as a ramp,'' followed by Bulkhead shoving past Shockwave and following suit. Shockwave is left spinning around disoriented for a couple of seconds, then shakes it off and makes ready to pursue...until Wheeljack [[GoombaStomp Goomba Stomps]] him from ''behind,'' leaving Shockwave in his dust. Just as the Decepticon is firing at his retreating foes, he happens to look up just in time to see [[spoiler: Darkmount exploding above him.]] His deadpan reaction is the cherry on the top:

-->'''Ultra Magnus:''' Um... What's a kilt?
-->'''Optimus:''' Agent Fowler can, at times, be oblique. I find it best to simply nod and mobilize.
** If you look, Optimus glances around briefly before answering Ultra Magnus.
** From the same episode, apparently the Autobots have been recovering gear from their old base. They got the ground bridge back up and running, but Ultra Magnus says there's not much else recovered. Wheeljack then reveals that the lobbing ball survived, at which point, he tosses it at an unaware Bulkhead, it richochets off him, and almost hits Jack and Miko. It's not so much that he almost killed them, but that it accidentally blocked Fowler in his office.
--->'''Fowler:''' A little help here?
** Optimus goes to investigate a Decepticon mine, only to find that his massive new body is too big to fit through the cave's entrance. "Hmm." (He manages to get in by using his vehicle mode.)

-->'''Miko:''' Yo. Can I come with?
-->'''Wheeljack:''' Why not? (end flashback)
** When she first emerges from Wheeljack's chest cavity, her hand's upraised like a zombie, before coming up gasping to the, well, shock of the rest of the team. There's even a CallBack to when she sneaked aboard a mission in Darkness Rising about how she didn't heave on any floor mats this time.
** Predaking using [[spoiler: Apex Armor Miko]] as a literal chew toy in a FunnyBackgroundEvent during Starscream's talk with Megatron.
** While searching for Predacon remains, Miko discovers what she thinks might be part of a fossil. This earns a hilariously deadpan response:
---> '''Ultra Magnus''': No. That is a rock.

* Let's not forget the perfect burn Miko delivers to old Starscream:

* Jack's look of utter horror during "Plus One" when [[ShipperOnDeck Miko]] talks about Wheeljack and Arcee "Hooking up".
** Which mirrors his reaction to Fowler's growing relationship with June.
---> '''Raf:''' Isn't (having dinner at a restaurant) what grown-ups do when they're dating?\\

** And then he gives his two cents on human romance. Creator/DaranNorris' delivery just sells it.
--->'''Knock Out''': Frankly, I find it ''repulsive''. The whole ''idea'' of you fleshies... ''interfacing''. *shudders*
** Heck, you could call "Plus One" ''ShipTease: The Episode.''
* Starscream and Knock Out attempting to outdo each other in pleasing Megatron in a manner reminiscent of two siblings trying to please a parent during "Plus One".
-->'''Knock Out''': So go on, Big M, tell me you love me more than Starscream. *No response* My liege? Um... Too familiar?
** The ending when much to Jack's relief, Wheeljack and Arcee do ''not'' become an official couple.
--->'''Jack''': (''nods to Miko knowingly'') Bromance trumps romance.
* "Thirst," despite being full of NightmareFuel, has plenty of funny moments.
** Knock Out's experiments with Synth-En lead to his test subject--[[spoiler: Breakdown/Cylas]]--going positively ''berserk'' in his restraints, leading to this deliciously hammy threat:
--->'''[[spoiler: Breakdown/Cylas]]''': Starscream! I hope you got your T-Cog replaced, because I'm going to rip it out ''all over again,'' AND FEED IT TO KNOCK OUT!!
* [[spoiler: Zombie!Terrorcon!Breakdown!Cylas]] chasing them down or not, Starscream nonchalantly transforming in an effort to get away and Knock Out promptly ''hitching a ride'' is just plain too funny.

** Starscream and Knock Out's screams when they're being chased by [[spoiler: Zombie!Terrorcon!Breakdown!Cylas]]. And Knock Out's BigWhat when Starscream tells him to hold off Cylas before the above-mentioned moment.
* As it becomes clear that [[spoiler: Zombie!Terrorcon!Breakdown!Cylas]] is too much for the "highly-trained Vehicon troops" to handle (as proven by the lifeless shell of one such Vehicon), Starscream and Knock Out begin engaging in an escalating argument of [[NeverMyFault "this-is-your-fault-not-mine"]]...all the while, [[NoPeripheralVision failing to notice]] that [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent the recently-drained Vehicon]] ''[[OhCrap is getting back up as a Terrorcon zombie.]]''
** Leading to the following delightful little incident:
---> '''Terrorcon:''' *lumbers towards Starscream and Knock Out* Raaarrrgh!\\

'''Starscream:''' *looks at Knock Out in desbelief*\\

** And when it turns out that the rules of human zombies ''[[WrongGenreSavvy don't]]'' apply to Terrorcons.
---> '''Knock Out:''' ''Human'' horror films! Waste of time!
* At one point in "Thirst" while Starscream and Knock Out are fleeing, they split up. A second later, Knock Out runs in the direction Starscream went.
** Heck, almost every moment of Starscream and Knock Out is hilarious in this episode!
*** Right after the FriendshipMoment, they run into Megatron. The two quickly try to hide what happened only for Megatron to reveal that the Dark Energon in his chest has been pulsing. Cue this gem:
----> '''Starscream''': ''[to Knock Out]'' Allow me to handle this. ''[points at Knock Out]'' IT'S KNOCK OUT'S FAULT!\\
'''Knock Out''': [[DelayedReaction Precisely my]]-[[BigWhat WHAT?!]]
** Just watch [[GirlyRun the way Knock Out runs]].
** Knock Out's tone in the following line:
--->'''Starscream:''' Megatron will undoubtedly hold us responsible.\\

** Also from "Thirst", when Starscream refers to their "[[{{Irony}} highly-trained Vehicon troops]]".
** Megatron later lectures Starscream on how he's received more chances at redemption than any other 'Con ''ever'', all the while a Terrorcon zombie starts to come up behind him.
--->'''Starscream:''' Um... My liege...\\
'''Megatron:''' ''[[NoPeripheralVision Continues to rant]]''\\

** Megatron's ComicallySerious character also gives us this gem:
---> ''' Megatron:''' ''(gives orders to Soundwave, then turns to Knock Out and Starscream)'' Your fate, however, remains to be seen. ({{Beat}}) ''Why '''are you still HERE?''''' ''[Knock Out and Starscream turn and flee]''
** And at the end, he berates them like an angry father in a sitcom:
--->'''Megatron:''' ... And as for ''you''...\\

* Wheeljack snuck out of base to make Ultra Magnus's engines more efficient. It's the fact he did something so mundane and managed to make Magnus look silly that makes it hilarious. Also, the fact that he was covered in coolant is something you'd normally expect him having from killing rather than fixing.
** Also counts as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} on Wheeljack's part, in its own weird way.

* Earlier in the episode, when Starscream is pleading to Megatron, Megatron rolls his eyes.
** Then [[spoiler:Predaking transforms]]. Cue an OhCrap expression from not only Starscream, but '''Megatron''' (his was smaller, but still there).
* In "Minus One", [[spoiler: Soundwave's response to Optimus Prime's questioning of what the Decepticons are planning is to use his visor to display a smiley face, a la [[VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}} Zer0]]]].
** And before that, [[spoiler: he makes something of a StupidStatementDanceMix out of Optimus' question]].
* In the beginning of "Minus One", when Shockwave angrily accuses Starscream of [[spoiler: intentionally leaving him at the mercy of the Autobots]], Starscream begs for Megatron to intervene, but doesn't get his wish.
-->'''Starscream:''' Master! Are you going to allow one lieutenant to harm another? *{{beat}}* [[OhCrap Master?!]]
-->'''Megtaron:''' I'm thinking.
** Once Starscream saves himself by appealing to Shockwave's sense of logic, and getting him to back off, Megatron notes their "Exemplary teamwork" before moving on.
* Raf channeling Ratchet while working on some tech in "Persuasion", complete with an "I needed that!" to Miko.

* Knock Out's ''[[SkewedPriorities skewed]]'' [[SkewedPriorities sense of priorities]].

** This is made even funnier in the next episode, where we see all the Autobots and Decepticons battling throughout the ship, and then we see Knock Out rummaging through the ''Nemesis'''s stores to look for...[[spoiler: something to buff his finish.]]
* In "Deadlock", [[spoiler: Megatron gets run through by a revived Bumblebee, Shockwave and Starscream escape together, and Soundwave is trapped in the shadowzone. And Knock Out? Gets to see the restoration of Cybertron before being knocked out by an Apex Armor-clad Miko and taken prisoner.]]
** It's how he just takes it in stride that really sells it.
--->'''Knock Out''': Ah, such luster.
--->''The Autobots stare at him in disbelief.''
--->'''Knock Out''': ''What''? I'm joining the [[spoiler: winning team]].
---> [[spoiler: ''Gets knocked out by Miko in Apex Armour.'']]

-->'''Starscream''': (paraphrased) Your elbow articulator is digging into my lateral fixer!
-->'''Shockwave''': Do you intend to complain for the duration of the voyage?
** Before that, Starscream's look at Shockwave when they saw that only one escape pod was left. It is hilariously funny.

* While trying to help Bulkhead in the reconstruction efforts [[spoiler: one of the Vehicons keeps knocking everyone else over trying to follow Bulkhead's instructions.]] Ah, some things never change.

** Then when [[spoiler: Unicron/Megatron arrives, we see Smokescreen standing up from the throne and shifting away uneasily on his feet to the side.]]

* When the group is fleeing from [[spoiler: Unicron]], they find themselves stuck over an active smelting pit.

* And at the debriefing after the band's disastrous battle with [[spoiler: the Unicron-possessed Megatron]]:
--> '''Smokescreen:''' So, what do we call him now?! [[spoiler: Uni-Tron, Mega-Cron?!]]
--> '''Arcee:''' [[SkewedPriorities Really? That's your biggest issue right now?]]
* The fact that [[spoiler: Unicron!Megatron]] looks like he has an oversized unibrow.

* [[spoiler: Megatron tricks Unicron into being attacked by Predaking by saying that [[BlatantLies he's totally loyal to Megatron and will obey any order]]. [[{{Troll}} Megatron then sporting his usual sadistic grin]] when Unicron accuses him of deceiving him was surprisingly funny as well.]]

** Also from the first episode, after Bulkhead scares away two Vehicons:
--->'''Arcee''': What kept you?\\

* Jack snarking at some guys who were mocking him and his job.
-->'''Jack:''' So that's two "We're not as funny as we think we are" combos with a side of ''bite me''!
* In "Masters & Students", Jack trying to build a motorcycle with Arcee.

** From the same episode, Ratchet hijacking the kids' science projects, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsGzSD9CgP0 which can be seen here]].
** Starscream puts in a deliciously hammy performance: "What use are troops who can't rise to the task of wreaking unspeakable destruction in my name?"
* From "Scrapheap":
** First in Scrapheap, the StaggeredZoom - When Ratchet spots Raf holding a Scraplet, there is a zoom on it, complete with dramatic beats. Ratchet, Bulkhead and Bumblebee instantly leap back in terror and draw weapons on it. Made hilarious by the fact that Prime's Scraplets are ''tiny'' and ''adorable'' - as long as you're not made of living metal.
** The power goes out while Bulkhead and Miko are searching for the Scraplets. Bulkhead screams... in a very high-pitched tone.
--->'''Miko:''' Did you just [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl scream like a little girl]]?\\

** When Bulkhead totally freaks out and starts flailing and shrieking when a bunch of cables fall out of the ceiling. His panic attack lasts for almost 30 seconds as Miko stares in disbelief.
--->'''Miko:''' Okay. Wish I hadn't seen that. Bulkhead, you're fine! It's just a bunch of cables!
*** The reactions of Ratchet, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee - more terrified than they have ever been in any episode before or since - have left fans forever asking questions like "What if a ''really'' serious character like Optimus or Megatron saw a Scraplet?"
* [[GrumpyOldMan Ratchet's]] reaction to the second party in "Con Job":

** Also, Starscream's reaction to the bomb attached to Makeshift is pretty funny. "WHOA!"
* In "Convoy", Ratchet explains the dangers of ground bridging in a moving train to the kids.

** Before that, Agent Fowler gets to ride with Optimus, but the Prime won't let him drive. Optimus even talks to Fowler like he's a kid or something.
---> '''Optimus:''' (''Fowler's about to grab the steering wheel'') Ah ah ah, no need Agent Fowler. I will handle the driving.
* In "DeusExMachina", Bulkhead randomly shouting gibberish while listening to a rock song is ''ridiculously hilarious.'' And Miko joining in afterwards just makes it funnier.
** Ratchet, upon getting Agent Fowler's answering machine:
--->[[HypocriticalHumor "I hate talking to machines."]]
** Not to mention when Knock Out gets Optimus thrown into him at the museum. And then later, when both Knock Out and Breakdown go for Bulkhead. He dodges, and Knock Out and Breakdown deck ''each other.'' Knock Out is taken down, and Breakdown ''just keeps going.'' Both events set the tone for all the messy things we see happening to [[ButtMonkey Knock Out]] as the series continues, and how Breakdown is basically a Decepticon version of Bulkhead.
* In "Speed Metal", Bulkhead trying to cover the fact that he knew Jack and Bumblebee were racing:

** Earlier, Jack retorts to Vince's taunt of calling Arcee a moped, saying she's got "dual carbs and can go from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds". Arcee later tells him that "a lady's vital stats are her own business". To her, that's basically the equivalent of someone telling others what a woman's body measurements are right in front of her.
** Arcee lectures Jack about how he shouldn't use power for personal gain. However, when Vince calls her an "ugly clunky trike"...
--->'''Arcee:''' [[NotSoAboveItAll That's it! The yahoo's going down!]]
** Later, Arcee's sheer ''determination'' to completely dominate Vince in the race:
--->'''Arcee:''' Winning isn't enough, Jack. You wanna make 'em ''[[AddingInsultToInjury cry]]''.
** In the same episode, Raf and Miko's punitive attempts to lie to Optimus.
*** Optimus' expression selling it for the comedic gold that it is.
----> '''Optimus:''' Raf, Miko, do either of you know where the others have gone?
----> '''Miko:''' [[ActingUnnatural Why, no, sir! We do not know!]]
----> '''Raf:''' [[ActingUnnatural Miko is correct! We do not know!]]
----> '''Miko:''' [[ActingUnnatural Why would we know?]]
----> '''Optimus:''' Hmm. ''[[FascinatingEyebrow (raises eyebrow)]]''
** YMMV on this one, but Knock Out saying he's learned his lesson and that he paid for it by losing a car door (he'd lost it when Optimus tore off the car door to get Vince out), but Starscream says, "You have paid when I say you have paid." before he lifts a clawed finger. The look on Knock Out's face is priceless when he realizes what Starscream is about to do.
---> '''Starscream''': Do not worry. Your punishment shall mearly be... cosmetic.\\

*** Speaking of hilarious OhCrap faces, Breakdown's expression just before Bulkhead clobbers him with a lamppost is also priceless.
** In fact, "Speed Metal" is best to be summarized as "What will happen to a human who pressed a cybertronian's berserk button?" Two humans had demonstrated the consequences to the audience, with one of them did it twice-- one on Arcee and another on Bumblebee.
* A Meta example for the episode "[[Recap/TransformersPrimeS1E12Predatory Predatory.]]" In America, it was very suspenseful and almost felt like watching a horror film. Airachnid is a sadistic hunter, killer, and psychopath, and she collects rare species that she's killed. In Japan, however... One user on the TF Wiki compared her antics throughout the Japanese version of that episode to '''''WesternAnimation/PepeLePew'''''. She doesn't collect the rare species she's killed, but '''CUTE BOYS''' and attempts to coerce Jack into coming with her by essentially '''HITTING ON HIM'''.
* In "Sick Mind", Starscream's not happy with his ship's maintenance:
--> '''Starscream:''' Why has the electro-magnetic shielding not been repaired?!
--> '''Vehicon:''' The crews are working as quickly as they can, Lord-
--> ''(Starscream smacks him in the face)''
** Ratchet does the same with Bulkhead in ''Stonger, Faster''.
** Megatron casually shooting one of the eternally respawning Optimus Primes while negotiating with Bumblebee in his subconscious.
** Megatron seen just lashing out through Bumblebee's first-person camera.
* In "Out of His Head", when Megatron is controlling Bumblebee and makes him destroy something, Ratchet appears, this exchange ensues:
-->'''Ratchet:''' BUMBLEBEE!
-->(Bumblebee looks at Ratchet, not quite sure what's going on)
-->'''Ratchet:''' I ''NEEDED THAT''!
** Pretty much ''any'' time Ratchet says "I NEEDED THAT!", which has now become a RunningGag.
*** Optimus and Agent Fowler's exchange:
----> '''Fowler:''' (voice ''dripping'' with sarcasm) Prime, you spot any Decepticons wearing hula-skirts recently?
----> '''Optimus:''' (silently rolling his eyes) No, Agent Fowler. ''Why''?
** Starscream's monologue in front of an unconscious Megatron. He starts ''knocking'' on Megatron's head, brags about having the last shard of Dark Energon while tossing it around and gesticulating wildly, and is interrupted by Knock Out. His expressions are priceless.
-->'''Starscream:''' Heh, that was the idea, Knock Out... *completely resigned* How long have you been there?
* Starscream's lies to Knock Out in "Shadowzone", and being attacked by Skyquake's arm.
** The latter is especially funny, if only for Starscream's reaction (remember that he had lost his arm earlier.)
--->(''Starscream is attacked by Skyquake's arm and pulls it off'')
---> This isn't mine! [[IncrediblyLamePun Unhand me!]]
** Later, when Skyquake finds ''Starscream's'' arm, he tries to fit it onto the stump of his ''own'' arm. It doesn't fit, and he throws it away and lumbers off. After a perfectly-timed {{beat}}, the arm falls back down.
** Of special note is Starscream [[TemptingFate boasting about]] how his newfound Dark Energon power [[NothingCanStopUsNow makes him invincible]]. Followed immediately by Optimus blowing his arm off. He wisely (and frantically) requested evacuation back to base after that.
** Also from "Shadowzone":

'''Ratchet:''' In a ''parallel dimensional plane''?! *{{Beat}}* Let's find out.
** That and listening to Bulkhead read Jack's text. The text itself is of course very serious, but Bulkhead's deadpan delivery is what makes it hilarious.
---> In alternate dimension with zombie, help.
* In "Crisscross," June doesn't believe Jack's ([[CassandraTruth completely honest]]) explanation of how he's been spending his free time. After Arcee comes to her rescue later in the episode, we get this exchange:
--> '''June:''' "Jack? Your motorcycle...?"
--> '''Jack:''' "I can explain, Mom... Wait, I already did."
* In "Metal Attraction", there's Miko continually misreading Bulkhead and Arcee's interactions as [[ShipTease romantic]] and trying to [[ShipSinking stop it]].

** Also, June's... ''interesting'' remark on wanting to see Optimus Prime.
---> '''June:''' And I wore heels and everything.
---> '''Jack:''' '''''[[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents Mom]]'''!!''
** After Arcee tells Miko she has to return to base, Miko complains that Arcee is just as bad as June. Everyone at base is listening in on this, including June.
--->'''June:''' Is that such a bad thing?\\

''*Jack leaves his spot. June looks at Raf, who just smiles nervously*''
** After Arcee sends Airachnid flying during the first fight, Breakdown gets back up after being trounced by Bulkhead only for Airachnid to immediately bounce off of him and knock him to the ground again.
** This:
--->'''Arcee:''' A scout must be silent but deadly.
--->'''Bulkhead & Miko:''' *snickers*
* Starscream has a really bad day in "Rock Bottom".
** The moment when Jack and Megs come face-to-face for the first time is ''far'' from funny. ''This'', however...
--->'''Website/YouTube Comment:''' Oh... Hai.
* In "T.M.I.", Knock Out's reaction to a rambling Bulkhead painting a symbol on him.

** To add to that, Bulkhead says the math formula like it's an attack.
** "I'm sure one hasn't truly lived until one has beheld Bulkhead's take on 'Still Life with Lug Nuts'."
** Once Knock Out explains that the cylinder he and Breakdown acquired is empty, Breakdown gives the same explanation in layman's terms...
---> '''Breakdown:''' Dead battery.
** Megatron's first instinct is to blame Breakdown.
** And, while trying to get the cylinder...
---> '''Knock Out:''' Come to papa!\\
''*Gets rammed by Bulkhead*''\\

''*Gets hit from behind by Breakdown.*''\\

* In "Stronger, Faster", Ratchet hitting on Arcee and Breakdown talking to a Vehicon about how he finds himself intrigued by Airachnid.
** At one point, Ratchet knocks down a 'Con without looking. His response?
---> '''Ratchet:''' Hoooah!
** Ratchet later does it again off-screen after knocking Bulkhead through a wall.
** Also, Knockout's deadpan comment on Ratchet's action is hilarious. This is especially true when a translation into Chinese basically means "Looks like the Autobots have a player with his plot armor on."
** If you watch the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeRP67vZOso&feature=plcp&context=C47798beVDvjVQa1PpcFPnGe-QaWCOdRAEd88bFrNBhBpB48Vy8d8%3D "how's it hummin'?" scene]] closely, you can see that Ratchet briefly ''winks.''
** Ratchet is chasing a Decepticon Mook, who has managed to beat him in speed. Thus, he simply picks up a rock, throws it, and a few moments later it hits the mook square on the head in a comical way.
* In "One Shall Fall", Raf replaced an online photo of Bumblebee (Phantom Car!) with a [[WebOriginal/LOLCats Lolcat]]. I kid you not. Optimus's deadpan reaction is gold.
--> '''Jack:''' Hey, Optimus, wanna see something funny?
--> '''Optimus:''' (calmly) [[TheComicallySerious No]].
** Ratchet's laugh.
*** And his look of absolute horror moments later.
* In "One Shall Rise, Part 1", Miko makes the first ''canon'' Unicron/unicorn joke in twenty-five years:

** Agent Fowler, regarding the climate phenomena around the world, asks if the Decepticons have built a weather control machine. There's some inherent Fridge Humor in Ratchet's response:
---> One ''that'' powerful? Highly unlikely.

* Almost bordering on a ''very'' late IronicEchoCut, Jack idly taps [[spoiler: the key to Vector Sigma]] on a railing after being told that he's grown to become responsible.
** To be fair, Optimus told him it was a part for the ground bridge and not one of their most important artifacts.

** Miko threatening Megatron [[spoiler: while he's in the Autobot base]] hilariously and concisely sums up her character.
--->'''Miko:''' If you double-cross ''anyone'', mine is the face you'll never forget! [[BigNever NEVER]]! *Fowler drags her off*
*** After Miko's threat, Megatron makes a face like "Wow, I'm almost tempted to pity the Autobots for having to babysit this human".

---> ''' Megatron:''' ''(gives orders to Soundwave, then turns to Knock Out and Starscream)'' Your fate, however, remains to be seen. ({{Beat}}) ''Why '''are you still HERE?'' ''[Knock Out and Starscream turn and flee]''

** And before that, [[spoiler:he makes something of a StupidStatementDanceMix out of Optimus' question]].

** Megatron later lectures Starscream on how he's received more chances at redemption than any other 'Con ''ever'', and a Terrorcon zombie starts to come up behind him.

''Megatron kills the Terrorcon and then turns to Knock Out and Starscream.''\\

--> '''' Megatron:''' ''(gives orders to Soundwave, then turns to Knock Out and Starscream)'' Your fate, however, remains to be seen. ({{Beat}}) ''Why '''are you still HERE?'''''

-->'''Megatron:''' ... And as for ''you''...
-->'''Starscream:''' Lord Megatron, if you would just allow me to explain things...
-->'''Megatron:''' No. Allow ''me'' to explain things. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown In a manner which I know you will understand]].

---> '''Starscream''': ''[to Knock Out]'' Allow me to handle this. ''[points at Knock Out]'' IT'S KNOCK OUT'S FAULT!\\

--->'''Starscream:''' Megatron will undoubtedly hold us responsible.
--->'''Knock Out:''' ''We ARE!''

-->'''Arcee''': What kept you?\\

** First in Scrapheap, the StaggeredZoom - When Ratchet spots Raf holding a Scraplet, there is a staggered zoom on it, complete with dramatic beats. Ratchet, Bulkhead and Bumblebee instantly leap back in terror and draw weapons on it. Made hilarious by the fact that Prime's Scraplets are ''tiny'' and ''adorable'' - as long as you're not made of living metal.

-->'''Miko:''' Did you just [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl scream like a little girl]]?
-->'''Bulkhead:''' No! M-Maybe... Can we talk about this later?

*** The reactions of Ratchet, Bulkhead and Bumblebee - more terrified than they have ever been in any episode before or since - have left fans forever asking questions like "What if a ''really'' serious character like Optimus or Megatron saw a Scraplet?"

--> '''Ratchet:''' You want me to not only bridge you into a confined space, but one traveling at 90 miles per hour? I can't even count the number of things that can go wrong —- mass displacement trauma, twisted limbs, metal burn! ''[[[{{Beat}} Kids stare blankly]]]'' Well, maybe not the last one.
** Before that, Agent Fowler gets to ride with Optimus, but the Prime wont let him drive. Optimus even talks to Fowler like he's a kid or something.

-->'''Arcee:''' [[NotSoAboveItAll That's it! The yahoo's going down!]]

-->'''Arcee:''' Winning isn't enough, Jack. You wanna make 'em ''[[AddingInsultToInjury cry]]''.

** In fact, "Speed Metal" is best to be summarized as "What will happen to a human who pressed a cybertronian's berserk button?" Two humans had demonstrated the consequences to the audience, with one of them did it twice-- one on Arcee, and another on Bumblebee.

* In "Sick Mind", Starscream's not happy with his ship's maintainence:

** Megatron casually shooting one of the eternally respawning Optimus Primes while negotiating with Bumblebee in his subconcious.
** Megatron seen just lashing out through Bumblebee's first person camera.
* In "Out of His Head", when Megatron is controlling Bumblebee, and makes him destroy something, Ratchet appears, this exchange ensues:

--> '''Optimus:''' Ratchet, can you use the cell phone's signal to triangulate the childrens' location?
--> '''Ratchet:''' In a ''parallel dimensional plane''?! *{{Beat}}* Let's find out.

--> In alternate dimension with zombie, help.

-->'''Arcee:''' A scout must be silent but deadly.
-->'''Bulkhead & Miko:''' *snickers*

-->'''Website/YouTube Comment:''' Oh... Hai.

--> '''Breakdown:''' Dead battery.

--> '''Knock Out:''' Come to papa!
--> ''*Gets rammed by Bulkhead*''
--> '''Bulkhead:''' Run to mommy.
--> ''*Gets hit from behind by Breakdown.*''
--> '''Breakdown:''' Say Uncle! Say it!

--> '''Ratchet:''' Hoooah!

** Also, Knockout's deadpan comment on Ratchet's action is hilarious. This is especially true when a translation into Chinese basically means "Looks like the autobot has a player with his plot armor on."

--> One ''that'' powerful? Highly unlikely.

-->'''Jack:''' Mom, I-\\

* Megatron, after the awesome slow walk and dramatic moment of him being [[spoiler:''invited'' to the Autobot base peacefully to work with them]], looks around...

[[folder:Season Two]]

--->'''Knock Out:''' Scrap.

--->[[spoiler:'''Starscream''':]] "Well, I don’t know where it is now! It’s a ship, it ''moves''!"

--->'''Arcee''': (''Crouched behind a pillar watching the Space Bridge with Bulkhead'') Thank you [[spoiler:Starscream]].
--->(''Bulkhead looks down at her in surprise''.)
--->'''Arcee''': Who ''else'' could it have been?

-->'''Optimus:''' "If you will not take orders from me, that is one thing. But when you place one of my Autobots in danger..."
-->'''Wheeljack:''' "With all due respect sir, Bulkhead knew the risks; every Wrecker does. I'm sure he's just... uh... somewhere in this rubble."

--> '''Starscream''': First Lieutenant!?!?! That's my post!
-->(the Vehicons all cock their guns at him)
--> '''Starscream''': ...Eh, ''was'' my post.

-->'''Knock Out''': '''''GRENADE!''''' *ducks and covers*

--> '''Cliffjumper:''' Arcee! Arcee! ''(to Starscream and Shockwave)'' I'll scrap you both!
--> '''Starscream:''' Shut up! I'm trying to listen!
** Cliff in general is very funny in how lightly he can handle the situations he's in.

--> '''Starscream:''' I would just eliminate [Arcee and Cliffjumper], but the code that they carry is too valuable! If I could only break them open and just take it!
--> (''Soundwave points to Shockwave's lab on Cybertron'')
--> '''Starscream:''' No, I will not take the prisoners to the surface! Why should I let ''him'' have all the glory?
--> '''Soundwave:''' (''replaying what Starscream said earlier'') "The code that they carry is too valuable!"

** Starscream comes to the dig site for the the Red Energon, only to find that they already moved it.

* In "The Human Factor", [[spoiler:Breakdown!Silas]] actually asks Knock Out to "[[TakeMeToYourLeader take him to his leader]]".

* "Legacy" gives us Jack and Smokescreen sabotaging Vince's car by stuffing it with fast food. Then doing the same thing to Jack's boss at work.
--->'''Smokescreen:''' That thing we stuffed in his tailpipe, what's it called again?
--->'''Jack:''' ''Pizza!''
** After Optimus [[spoiler:gets the Star Saber from the rock.]]

--->'''Smokescreen:''' It's really in there tight. (gets shot in the back)

** "So, did [[spoiler:Alpha Trion]] ask about me?"

* Megatron gloating about how he [[spoiler:destroyed Optimus's Star Saber]] in "Hard Knocks". To Soundwave, no less.

-->'''Optimus Prime''':[[spoiler: Auuuuuuuuuutooooooboooooooooots, maiiiiiintaaaaiiiiin poooooooosiiiiiitioooooooooon.]]

** Knock Out ending up [[spoiler:stuck in a wall]].
** Starscream sends the Autobots a messsage. The fact that Ratchet got bored of it really makes the momment.

* Starsceam, when confronted by an angry Dreadwing and ditched by Knock Out in "Regeneration", reaches for something to defend himself with and grabs... a really small drill. That Dreadwing renders useless in seconds.

** Then there's their attempts at getting the Omega Keys to work: [[PercussiveMaintenance smacking them on the table]].

--->'''Starscream:''' (smugly) And ''that'' is why Dreadwing is pushing up lugnuts.\\

[[folder:Season Three]]

* Smokescreen [[spoiler:missing out on the whole Darkmount battle.]]

* [[spoiler:Optimus]] and Ultra Magnus' first meeting in years.

-->'''Shockwave:''' [[CasualDangerDialogue Soundwave. I require a Ground Bridge.]]

-->'''Fowler:''' A little help here?

** Predaking using [[spoiler:Apex Armor Miko]] as a literal chew toy in a FunnyBackgroundEvent during Starscream's talk with Megatron.

-->'''Ultra Magnus''': No. That is a rock.

-->'''Raf:''' Isn't (having dinner at a restaurant) what grown-ups do when they're dating?
-->'''Jack:'''...It's what grown-ups do when they're ''hungry''.

-->'''Knock Out''': Frankly, I find it ''repulsive''. The whole ''idea'' of you fleshies... ''interfacing''. *shudders*

-->'''Jack''': (''nods to Miko knowingly'') Bromance trumps romance.
* In "Thirst," Knock Out's experiments with Synth-En lead to his test subject--[[spoiler: Breakdown/Cylas]]--going positively ''berserk'' in his restraints, leading to this deliciously hammy threat:
-->''[[spoiler: Breakdown/Cylas]]'': Starscream! I hope you got your T-Cog replaced, because I'm going to rip it out ''all over again,'' AND FEED IT TO KNOCK OUT!!

** Starscream and Knock Out's screams when they're being chased by [[spoiler:Zombie!Terrorcon!Breakdown!Cylas]]. And Knock Out's BigWhat when Starscream tells him to hold off Cylas before the above-mentioned moment.

--> '''Terrorcon:''' *lumbers towards Starscream and Knock Out* Raaarrrgh!
--> '''Knock Out:''' [[ZombieApocalypse Aim for]] [[BoomHeadshot the head!]]
--> '''Starscream:''' What? How do ''you'' know?
--> '''Knock Out:''' [[KlingonsLoveShakespeare I've seen human horror films!]]
--> '''Starscream:''' *looks at Knock Out in desbelief*
--> '''Knock Out:''' At [[DriveInTheater drive-in theaters]]!

--> '''Knock Out:''' ''Human'' horror films! Waste of time!

*** Right after the FriendshipMoment, they run into Megatron, and Starscream proclaims, "It's Knock Out's fault!"
--->'''Knock Out:''' Precisely. My - ''what?!?''

-->'''Starscream:''' Um... My liege...
-->'''Megatron:''' ''[[NoPeripheralVision Continues to rant]]''
-->'''Terrorcon:''' Energon!
-->'''Megatron:''' You there, what are you doing? I order you to stop!
-->''Megatron kills the Terrorcon and then turns to Knock Out and Starscream.''
-->'''Starscream:''' We ''did'' try to warn you.
-->'''Knock Out:''' Mhm.

* In the beginning of "Minus One", when Shockwave angrily accuses Starscream of [[spoiler:intentionally leaving him at the mercy of the Autobots]], Starscream begs for Megatron to intervene, but doesn't get his wish.

--->'''Knock Out''': ''What''? I'm joining the [[spoiler:winning team]].

* Speaking of Shockwave and Starscream, [[spoiler: their escape is together in a one person escape pod. And both of them are still bickering going forward.]]
-->'''Starscream''': (paraphrased) Your elbow ariculator is digging into my lateral fixer!

* Everyone's surprised reaction to [[spoiler:Bumblebee talking (including Bumblebee himself!)]].

[[AC:Predacons Rising]]

* [[spoiler:Megatron tricks Unicron into being attacked by Predaking by saying that [[BlatantLies he's totally loyal to Megatron, and will obey any order]]. [[{{Troll}} Megatron then sporting his usual sadistic grin]] when Unicron accuses him of deceiving him was surprisingly funny as well.]]

* Bulkhead and Megatron (along with other [[Creator/TheHub Hub]] characters) sing "Deck The Halls". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOTuZxFs6Bk we kid you not.]] It gets even better when [[spoiler:Bulkhead tries to sing '''Scat Music''' to it.]] The reactions from the other bots are beautiful.

* The lead up marathon for the Season 3 premiere gave us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7aB60g60u4&list=PLF6DBC6E1230FB115 Vehicons with surfer accents]].

* Creator/DavidSobolov and James Horan's panel at [=BotCon=] 2013 contains plenty of hilarious moments. Such moments include David reading a fast food order in his Shockwave voice, telling the audience that Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson's the only person in Hollywood who can physically pick him up, and James recalling how he and Creator/PeterMensah just looked at each other in confusion in response to the other cast members' antics during a recording session.

* In the comics issue, ''The Battle for Bulkhead,'' has Miko's amazing Autobot detection system. Raf guesses that it's some complex system that works by isolating special factors about the Autobots.

--->'''Miko:''' Okay. Wish I hadn't seen that.

--->'''General Bryce:''' Do you deny previously reporting that Megatron helped defeat a unicorn?

--> "Grandma? Is it cookie time?"\\
"The emu says YEAH!"\\

-->'''Arcee''': [[NotSoAboveItAll That's it! The yahoo's going down!]]

-->'''YouTube Comment:''' Oh... Hai.
