* CurbStompBattle: Rampage demolishes Silverbolt at the end of the episode and likely would have killed him if not for Transmutate's interference.



* TheDogBitesBack: Inferno beating Transmutate causes her to blast him.



** All of Rampage's interactions with Transmutate fall under this.

to:

** The normally idealistic and upbeat Silverbolt is livid at his fellow Maximals for suggesting they put Transmutate into stasis lock, saying they are as bad as the Predacons.

* ASharedSuffering: After Transmutate's destruction, Silverbolt softly tells Optimus and Cheetor to leave Rampage alone, stating that, at least for now, he and Rampage are "brothers" as they each mourn the loss of Transmutate.

* ActorAllusion: After Transmutate emerges from the stasis pod in explosive fashion, Rattrap asks, "What in the name of my Great Aunt Arcee is goin' on here?!" Susan Blu voiced Arcee on [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers the original cartoon]] and voices Transmutate here.


Added DiffLines:

* BerserkButton: Transmutate identifies both Silverbolt and Rampage as friends, so trying to harm either of them earns a very angry response. Inferno gets sent flying, as a result, and Optimus is only spared this by Silverbolt's intervention.


Added DiffLines:

* InsultBackfire: When Rampage claims to Inferno he was just talking Transmutate about the group.
-->'''Rampage:''' I was explaining what it means to be a Predacon: deceit, treachery, ''mindless' loyalty.\\
'''Inferno:''' Loyalty comes first!


Added DiffLines:

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Transmutate appears to have this reaction after Silverbolt is ambushed, looking at him all apprehensively.


Added DiffLines:

* ProperlyParanoid: Inferno knows full well that Rampage is plotting behind Megatron's back and says he won't stand for it.


Added DiffLines:

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Rampage's plan to capture a Maximal is to have Transmutate collapsed out in the open, correctly anticipating that one (in this case Silverbolt) will move in to attend to any possible injuries. The second Silverbolt lands, he gets bombarded with blasts from Inferno and Rampage.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Rhinox suggests putting Transmutate in "permanent stasis lock." Silverbolt objects, saying that destroying anyone who doesn't fit a narrow idea of perfection makes them no better than Predacons. This mirrors real-life controversies around [[MercyKill euthanasia]], eugenics, and ableism.

* KickTheDog: A rather dark example; Upon learning Transmutate is unable to transform, Megatron immediately declares her useless, orders Inferno to destroy her, and proceeds to torture Rampage when he tries to oppose. The scene is presented as dead serious and cold, in contrast with Megatron's usual FauxAffablyEvil attitude.
