* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Tigatron doesn’t have a good time of it near the end of the episode. Blackarachnia smacks him off a cliff, followed by a vengeful Tarantulas unleashing MoreDakka onto him from close range. Megatron then arrives and blasts him multiple times with his laser arm, and finally, Inferno nails him with a shot of his cannon.

* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Tarantulas seemed quite enamoured with Blackarachnia in her debut episode, but in this one he's discomfited by her amorous attentions and only includes her in his scheme because she forced herself into it.

* XanatosGambit: Tarantulas's mission is twofold: reprogram the stasis pod's inhabitant into another arachnid nominally loyal to him, and repurpose the pod itself into his one-man ark off the failing planet. Even if the latter scheme fails, the former will strengthen his [[TheStarscream future endeavours]]. Too bad ''both'' his plots spoil.
