* [[spoiler: Chop Shop (his sentient right arm anyway)]] of all bots has a moment in "Even Robots Have Nightmares". When Russell is being chased by Nightstrike off, and Denny busy free the Bots to help. Bumblebee, now conscious actually ''asks'' the Decepticon to protect the humans (who he points out have never hurt him) from Nightstrike. Though the Con heads for the door, when he spies a can of paint, he flings it at Nightstrike, temporarily blinding him. [[spoiler: Chop Shop]] even gives Bee a smile and thumps up before leaving.

** [[spoiler:Grimlock is also FightingFromTheInside the whole time, preventing [[PuppeteerParasite Minitron]] from killing his friends and even from attacking the far more vulnerable Russel.]]

* When Grimlock suddenly starts attacking the rest of the team in "True Colors", it's Sideswipe who continues to defend the Dinobot against accusations of being a traitor.

!!The 2001 anime:

* Soundwave's backstory as revealed in issue 22. [[spoiler: He was just a poor, mentally ill person living on the streets, unable to even remember his real name. One day he met Ravage, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw and the three taught him to control his synesthesia. They became TrueCompanions, so close that the mere thought of Ravage getting injured causes Soundwave to fly into an UnstoppableRage. It's explicitly noted that Soundwave is the only person who ever treated his cassettes like people due to the [[FantasticRacism Functionism]] of the time.]]

* By the end of the series, Sky-Byte not only escapes capture. He's apparently ''[[EarnYourHappyEnding reformed]]'' too.

* By the end of the series, Sky-Byte not only escapes capture. He's apparently ''reformed'' too.

* By the end of the series, Sky-Bite not only escapes capture. He's apparently ''reformed'' too.

* In issue 21 [[spoiler: Soundwave chooses to stand against Shockwave and his plan because Megatron gave hope to the underclass when he first rebelled and working with Shockwave would undermine that hope.]]

* Karl in the episode "Mistaken Identity" was pretty supportive of his friend Koji. First by volunteering to [[SwappedRoles pose as him]] so he could spend time by himself (without overbearing Autobots). [[SuddenHumility Then by ''asking'' for Fortress Maximus's help, rather then trying to simply command the titanic Autobot.]]

* In issue 18: [[spoiler: Arcee branding herself with a makeshift autobot insignia using her own sword to carve it on her shoulder, and also deciding to stand guard outside Bumblebee's room as he recovers]].

* In issue 16 after Blurr is hurt saving him, what's the first thing famed ConMan Swindle does? [[spoiler: Risk his life and drag Blurr to safety while turning against Megatron and his loyalists. He does this despite the fact that he's ''missing an arm''. When Zetca asks him why, Swindle's response sums up to: "[[BadassBoast Well somebody had to]]".]]

* A really warped one takes place in issue 14. TheReveal shows that Prowl [[spoiler:isn't really becoming a new villain. He's just another victim.]]

* In issue 12, the Decepticons have finally degraded into violence after Prowl bombed their home and Megatron returned. When they take to the streets rioting, it cuts to Blurr in his bar welding plates down over the windows and door "Battening down the hatches" as he says. He asks if anyone wants to leave, and the scene shifts to Jazz, Sky-byte (the entertainment), and the patrons, Zetca, Tappet, Hippotank, Sqwawkbox and Octane (now called Tankor). The last two Decepticons say that they're fine, with Tankor/Octane admitting that despite being Decepticons, they like it here. It's especially neat when, back in the Ongoing, when Swindle questioned why they fought, Tankor said it was because they were Autobots.

--> '''Ultra Magnus''': Leave them alone Megatron!

* Ultra Magnus has a very memorable mement occurs in the episode "The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus". When Megatron starts stomping on the Autobot brothers, concern for them causes Ultra Magnus to receive an exponential power-boost. The energy is then transferred into the three Autobots, who then use there new strength to blow Megatron away. While it's a small moment, it's the first of many that proves Ultra Magnus isn't all that bad a guy.
