* ShutUpHannibal: Even though Sentinel isn't technically a villain, Optimus gives him a speech that's a ''long'' time in coming.

--> '''Optimus:''' It's Optimus ''Prime''. I may be an Elite Guard washout and a glitch-detail flunky, but the last time I checked, you and I still had equal rank. So, Sentinel Prime, take your order ''and'' your condescending attitude, and stick it in your hard drive! You're on my turf now!

* AlienArtsAreAppreciated: Jazz is the only Elite Guard member willing to learn about and enjoy parts of Earth, with Sentinel [[FantasticRacism disliking organic life in general]] and Ultra Magnus simply being too focused on the mission.

* {{Irony}}: In the previous season, Megatron was essentially a prisoner (even though Sumdac treated him with respect) kept in Sumdac's lab, and was kept a secret from everyone. Now, Sumdac is Megatron's prisoner (working for him to simply stay alive) and is being held captive in the Decepticons' lair, with both the Autobots and his daughter having no idea if he's even alive. Megatron likely [[LaserGuidedKarma sees this, and is using it to get revenge on Sumdac for basically keeping him prisoner for decades]].
Added DiffLines:
* KidnappedScientist: Sumdac is now a prisoner of the Decepticons, and will remain so for the rest of the season.

* BittersweetEnding: The ending has an exceptional dose of both "bitter" and "sweet". On the sweet side, Optimus has proven himself to Ultra Magnus that he's worthy of remaining on Earth with his team. On the bitter side, Powell has taken over Sumdac Industries and kicked out Sari from her only home, all the while revealing [[WhamEpisode there's no record of her]].

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Megatron notes how the Autobots have not attempted to rescue Sumdac. Megatron thinks it's out of pettiness for Sumdac's role in his return, but it's really because the Autobots don't even know what exactly happened to him or if he's even still alive.

* HeWillComeForMe: Sumdac balks at Megatron's initial demand on the grounds that the Autobots will eventually rescue him. Megatron is unfazed, pointing out he's been a Decepticon prisoner for some time now and no rescue has even been attempted yet.
