History Recap / TransformersPrimeTVMBeastHuntersPredaconsRising

* DropTheHammer: One of the main ways Unicron fights is creating giant hammers made of energy colored like Dark Energon.

* TheCorruption: Unicron's endgame is to infect Cybertron with his Dark Energon and destroy it, and by extension Primus. He comes literally, '''''dangerously''''' close to succeeding.

* WhamLine: "ENOUGH! The Decepticons are no more. And ''that'' is ''final''."

-->'''Optimus Prime''': Above all, do not lament [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall my absence]]. For in my spark, I know that this is not the end, but merely a new beginning. Simply put: another transformation.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Predaking truly lives up to his name when Darksteel and Skylynx question his authority.

* HistoryRepeats: The constant of Optimus Prime [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing himself for the greater good]] remains here. In this case, he does so to bring the Allspark to Cybertron, since his own spark cannot be separated from it now. If there is one solace, it's that his end is a lot more peaceful compared to previous ones.

If there is one solace, it's that his end is a lot more peaceful compared to previous ones.

* UnexplainedRecovery: Shockwave's survival means he managed to fight off (or at least escape) the Terrorcon horde, albeit not without some damage. He is still standing, at least,despite being seemingly torn apart.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Shockwave's survival means he managed to fight off (or at least escape) the Terrorcon horde, albeit not without some damage.

* ShooOutTheClowns: Agent Fowler and the human kids aren't involved in the plot this time. Considering the dangers and what's at stake (assuming Cybertron's environment is not yet suitable for humans), it likely a good thing.

* EndOfAnEra: Optimus states that with him merging with the Core, the Age of the Primes is now over.

** This line:
---> '''Bumblebee''': Knock Out! [[BorrowedCatchphrase We needed]] [[RunningGag that]]!

* EnemyMine: After seeing their ancestors gravesite empty. The Predacons join forces with the Autobots in order to stop Unicron and his Terrorcons... after Predaking proves his might against the two new clones. Shockwave arrives after the fight to secure this.

* NearVillainVictory: Unicron comes literally, dangerously close to this by the end.

** Though he mostly manages to retain his composure, [[TheStoic Shockwave]] is clearly '''terrified''' of Unicron. Seeing Megatron alive and witnessing the rise of new Terrorcons do not work well for his sense of logic.

** BigBadWannabe: Shockwave and Starscream are the last active Decepticons, and are trying to clone a new army of Predacons. They even seem to get along pretty well. However, they pale in comparison to Unicron and are genuinely terrified at his actions. Shockwave even encourages the Predacons to join the Autobots against Unicron, whilst Starscream is more than happy to get the hell out of there.

* EnemyMine: After seeing their ancestors gravesite empty. The Predacons join forces with the Autobots in order to stop Unicron and his Terrorcons... after Predaking proves his might against the two new clones.

* HopeSpot: Megatron hoped that Predaking would be powerful enough to destroy his new body so Unicron can leave him. Sadly, the Chaos Bringer proves why he's a "god" compared to a clone dragon.

** Though he mostly manages to retain his composure, [[TheStoic Shockwave]] is clearly '''terrified''' of Unicron.

* EnemyMine: The Predacons join forces with the Autobots in order to stop Unicron and his Terrorcons.

* EasilyForgiven: When Bumblebee attempts a truce with Predaking...

* JerkassHasAPoint: Predaking may not serve the Decepticons after learning Megatron orchestrated his clone brethren's destruction, but that doesn't make Team Prime any less guilty since they were trying to stop them anyway. He refuses to help them until Unicron hijacked the bones of his ancestors.

* NearVillainVictory: Unicorn comes literally, dangerously close to this by the end.

** Literally no one ever expected Megatron to dissolve the Decepticons. Since he is clearly exhausted after being used by Unicron for too long, he decides it's no longer worth the war effort.

* BroughtDownToBadass: Though nowhere ''near'' as powerful as he once was, Unicron, whilst in possession of Megatron's body, is still a force to be reckoned with.
* ButNowIMustGo: Optimus says this almost word for word near the end.

** Unicron summons a legion of terrorcons from countless remains on Cybertron, just as Megatron did in the "Darkness Rising" five-parter. Almost a case of BookEnds.

* FinaleMovie: This movie serves as the conclusion to the ''Transformers Prime'' series.

* BackForTheFinale: Unicron.
