* LostInTranslation: In the Japanese version, Waspinator identifies himself as "Ultramask the Third" (ウルトラマスク世). Blackarachnia explains that Waspinator is mixing up his "TV heroes" (Ultraman, Tiger Mask and Lupin the Third). This means that Blackarachnia's mentioning pf the Decepticon ancestors is eliminated.

* MythologyGag: When Waspinator is driven temporarily insane, he babbles that his name is Shrapnel, an Insecticon from Generation One. Despite this, his speech pattern is much more reminiscent of Mixmaster's [[note]]at least, in the episode "City of Steel"[[/note]], who repeats the first syllable of a sentence several times. Shrapnel, on the other hand, repeats the last word of a sentence once.

Added DiffLines:

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Megatron kidnapped Rhinox and turned him into a Predacon because he admired his intelligence and resourcefulness and desired to add someone with those traits to his resources. The problem is that he gets a ''Predacon'' version of Rhinox, who has all of his intelligence and cunning, but none of the morality and compassion that comes with being a Maximal. As such, Megatron soon finds a Predacon Rhinox is more than he can handle.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Rhinox manages to do more internal damage to Megatron's forces than Optimus did waging full on warfare did a few episodes prior.

* BatmanGambit: Optimus decides to leave Rhinox with the Predicons, banking on Rhinox being ''far'' more dangerous than Megatron expects to the point of forcing Megatron to revert him to Maximal in order to save his own hide.

* EvilerThanThou: When Terrorsaur proposes an equal partnership, Rhinox not only refuses, but he chokes him and warns about the penalty for telling Megatron what he's up to.

He then proceeds to very nearly overthrow Megatron. This was ''{{Invoked}}'' by Optimus, who knew Rhinox well enough to expect Megatron had made a horrible mistake.



* UnderestimatingBadassery: Twice over. Megatron admits he did this to Rhinox after the opening battle. He realizes he's done it after reprogramming him.

* TheStarscream:
** Terrorsaur shows that he's not over his treacherous ambitions in overthrowing Megatron, just that he recognizes his limits and that he'd be better off attaching himself to someone more competent and powerful. Unfortunately for him, anyone competent, powerful and ambitious enough to overthrow Megatron wouldn't bother with a chump like Terrorsaur to begin with except using him as a disposable pawn, a role Predacon!Rhinox happily pressgangs him into.
** As a Predacon, Rhinox is frighteningly efficient at this. He effortlessly damages Scorponok and Waspinator, incapacitates the spiders, and intimidates Terrorsaur into submission. Even when Megatron figures out what's going on and brings in back-up, Rhinox is able to turn it around like that. He would've won if not for gloating first. Optimus fully anticipated all of this, due to knowing his old friend so well, and correctly banked on Megatron returning Rhinox to normal to save himself.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Upon seeing why Optimus wanted to hang back on rescuing Rhinox, Cheetor outright laughs.



* BigWhat: Rattrap's reaction to Optimus wanting to leave Rhinox with the Predacons and let things play out.



* ChekhovsClassroom: While stepping up in an emergency, Rhinox says he is more than content to be a follower and let Optimus do the leading. Rhinox's stated reluctance to lead is how Optimus knows exactly what will happen after the Transmuter remakes him into a Predacon.



* EvilerThanThou: When Terrorsaur proposes an equal partnership, Rhinox not only refuses, but he chokes him and warns about the penalty for telling Megatron what he's up to.
* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: During the shootout at the cliff, Rhinox's aim appears to be way off, missing the Predacons completely. Cheetor objects to this, but Rhinox persists. Moments later, he causes an avalanche of rocks that bury the various Predacons.
* FalseReassurance: Seeing Predacon!Rhinox fiddling with a very tall pile of heavy equipment, Scorponok warns him to be careful. Rhinox insists he's being very careful, as he's not standing on the side that the pile is about to fall on.



* HoistByHisOwnPetard: To get Rhinox to the Predacon Base, Tarantulas ensnared him in a web and poisoned him. After being remade into a Predacon, Rhinox returns the favor, as well as does the same to Blackarachnia.



* SuddenlyShouting: The "unexplainable" problems occurring in the Predacon Base as of late eventually take a toll on Megatron.
-->'''Megatron:''' WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE?!
* TacticalWithdrawal: After the Predacons are buried at the cliff, Rhinox calls for this, with Rattrap and Cheetor tasked with helping a wounded Optimus along.
