* InnocentlyInsensitive: The other Terrans treat Jawbreaker as a fragile child more than a teammate, because he has no altmode. They don't mean anything by it, but Jawbreaker still feels hurt by it nonetheless.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Both Jawbreaker and Elita try to break Grimlock out of his dino-rage by calling out to his Cybertronian side. Jawbreaker suceeds by going even further and telling Grimlock that he doesn't just see the fearsome Dinobot warrior, but also the scared person underneath who needs help.

* ItsAllMyFault: Said word for word by Jawbreaker after he unintentionally causes Grimlock's dinobot rage to flare up.
* LetsGetDangerous: Deconstructed. Jawbreaker starts the episode out frustrated with how everyone percieves him as little more than a GentleGiant who should be kept away form the fighting and starts training with Grimlock in order to unlock his fierce side. It goes well at the start, with Jawbreaker gaining more confidence through Grimlock drilling him, but then takes a turn for the worse when Jawbreaker takes his fierceness a little too far, to the point where he actually tries picking a fight with Grimlock once he has a dino-altmode and only realizes how badly his attacks triggered the Autobot when it's too late. At the end of the episode, Jawbreaker doesn't defeat Grimlock by being fierce but by being kind and understanding.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: After getting an altmode, Jawbreaker is so excited to test his new Dinobot strength that he keeps pressuring the obviously reluctant Grimlock into a rematch. Predictably, Jawbreaker's continued attacks end up giving Grimlock a bad Bot Brawl flashback and he goes into rage mode.
