* AllForNothing: Megatron empowers Nanosecond because he needs Destronium to be delivered in the 8 minutes before it explodes. But when Ratchet analyses the substance, he notes that moving it at high speeds sets off the explosion prematurely, so it wouldn’t have been very useful to Megatron.

* [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Pretty Background Event]]: The opening scene of Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Optimus Prime catching Nino Sexton is against a backdrop of a fireworks show (what the fireworks are for isn't explained, although Bulkhead complains about having to catch a criminal when he wants to watch the fireworks). The fireworks are well-rendered and make the shot where Prime is backed by firework lights look very impressive.
