* KickTheSonOfABitch: BadBoss tendencies aside, giving what Starscream had done in the past (Killing off Clijumper in cold Energon and offering his corpse as a test subject, blowing up the mine with the Autobots in it) and [[ColdBloodedTorture especially this and the previous episode]] (which was ''against'' Megatron's orders)) it's hard to feel bad for the con as Megatron beats him up as it's almost cathartic.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: As Starscream learns during a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from Megatron.

* BadBoss: In one of the first many moments in the series, Megatron. He not only berates Starscream for disobeying him, he beats him.

* LethallyStupid: Jack accuses Miko of this when she again brushes off that fact that she, Raf, and himself could have been killed several times due to her thrill-seeking earlier.

* JerkassBall: Miko pulls one by at first telling Jack and Raf they should form a trio band to play music, but then immediately ditches them just to see Bulkhead in action. When Jack calls her out, Miko claims she doesn't need to give them any reason to go solo.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: As Starscream learns.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: After there escape from the Nemesis, Jack promptly severs ties with the Autobots.

* WhatWereYouThinking: Jack asks this of Miko for the first time, though it wont be the last.

* RefusalOfTheCall: Jack.

-->'''Megatron:''' No one rids me of Optimus Prime but me! Do you understand?! DO YOU?!

* StillGotIt: Even though [[CoolOldGuy Ratchet]] hasn't fought since the war, he still [[SliceAndDiceSwordsmanship chops through Terrorcons]] with ease.

* CellPhone: Of the Super Cell Phone variety. Miko is able to take a high-quality picture of the Space Bridge specs with hers.

At the Decepticon ship, Bulkhead rescues Jack and Raf, who are under fire from the Decepticon sentries. They explain they were worried about Miko, who pops up from Bulkhead's back seat. Bulkhead drops everyone off behind some cover before driving under the Decepticon ship, scaling a nearby cliff, and jumping on board. After dealing with a bunch of Decepticons, Bulkhead realizes that Miko's not with the other kids, and she pops out of his chest, having stowed away. Miko finds herself in the middle of the fight between Bulkhead and the cons, which the Autobot swiftly terminates with the help of a piece of deck plating. While the pair move into the ship, problems are occurring outside; Jack and Raf are captured by the Decepticons and taken on board the ship, where Bumblebee and Arcee abruptly appear and rescue them. The two parties run into each other in a corridor, and Jack and Raf let Arcee know where Fowler is, having heard their guard talking.

The Autobots clear out a room on the Decepticon ship for the kids to hide in. Miko and Jack immediately begin arguing over their situation, which upsets Raf. Jack and Miko try to reassure him, before Jack notices a huge computer display. Raf thinks it has important information on it.

The kids know they've found important information, but are at a loss as to how to get it back to Optimus. As Raf's contemplating using a flash drive, a Decepticon walks in. The kids dive for cover, but Raf goes back for his backpack and is spotted by the Decepticon.

The Decepticon starts firing on Raf. Jack heroically runs out and tackles Raf behind one of the Decepticon corpses, before instructing Miko to take a picture. She snaps a picture of the Decepticon, before Jack redirects her at the computer screen. The kids leg it from the room, followed by the Decepticon, who is promptly taken out by Bulkhead. Reunited, the kids and Autobots make their escape.

Back at base, Ratchet's damaged arm is tended to, and Optimus tells off Bulkhead for letting the kids accompany him into battle. Miko defends Bulkhead and tries to claim they were doing "recon" by showing the snapped schematics, but Jack's upset about the fact they were all almost killed and decides he wants out of the whole affair. After some sad farewells (except from Ratchet), they send him home by ground bridge.

Back on the Decepticon ship in orbit, Megatron abuses Starscream for disobeying his orders, which has resulted in damage to the ship, which threatens to delay Megatron's plans. Starscream manages to quell his master's anger by announcing he has a way to get their plans back on course.

Ratchet, meanwhile, is checking out the data Miko photographed, and he realizes that it's the specs for a space bridge part. Bulkhead thinks it's great that Megatron's thinking of leaving, but Optimus points out that he's probably intending to bring an army to Earth with it, and there's only one place he can find enough Transformer corpses to build a new army: Cybertron.

* RefusalOfTheCall: Bye Jack, [[TenMinuteRetirement we'll miss you]]...
