* CompositeCharacter: Thunderwing borrows elements from his two main appearances. He's a deadly Transformer with an obsession with the matrix ala the Marvel comics, and he's a giant PersonOfMassDestruction with a deadly breath weapon ala his IDW Stormbringer appearance. His design borrows from both.

* AnAxToGrind: Optimus' SuperMode in the game gives him one.



* BringIt: Thunderwing vows he'll destroy the Matrix even if exhausts his energy to last drop. Optimus's reponse.
--->Optimus: You want the Matrix? Come and get it.



* CompetitiveBalance: Essentially the way the Autobots differentiate from each other, the faster they are, the less damage they do with their guns, though they have a faster fire rate to compensate, and melee attacks. In order from fastest/weakest to slowest/strongest: Arcee, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Optimus Prime, Bulkhead.



* EvilIsHammy: Thunderwing



* IdiotBall: The shows cast as a whole is a lot dumber here. Jack walks right into a fight with Arcee and Airachnid, getting himself captured, and Megatron trusts Thunderwing even though the latter has no incentive to help him.



* RecurringBoss: Megatron, fought three times over the course of the game.

Added DiffLines:

* DifficultButAwesome: Downplayed with Starscream, his ranged attack and supercharged range attack are difficult to master as they fire missiles that curve to meet the target rather than firing directly like the other characters. His rockets have difficulty in targeting short ranged moving enemies, but if one learns to use him as a ranged character, then the attacks are quite powerful and good at knocking other bots down.


Added DiffLines:

* WolverineClaws: Starscream and Airachnid as usual, but here, the Car Vehicons and Knockout weaponize their FemmeFatalons.

Added DiffLines:

* ContinuitySnarl: According to a producer at Activision, the game takes place alongside the second season of the animated series, but could be "''wedged in''" anywhere in the season. However, this is impossible thanks to the makeup of the Decepticon team:
** Starscream is the main problem do to his defection long before the events of the game.
** Airachnid isn't much better, her Insecticon minions were only under her control while she was an independent agent, and really only for a single episode. That episode ended with her being locked into stasis and losing control over the swarm to Megatron.
** And of course Dreadwing and Starscream ''never'' worked together at any point during the series.

The game focuses on Team Prime (consisting of Optimus Prime, Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Ratchet) Jack, Miko and Raf fight against the Decepticons and there new secret weapon.

The Decepticons have intercepted a large meteor full of Dark Energon approaching the Earth, and the Autobots arrive to try and thwart the Decepticons' plans to use the Dark Energon. A massive eruption of power during the battle on the meteor breaks out, and the Autobots become separated from Jack, Miko and Raf, who are monitoring them at base. Unknown to the Autobots and the humans, the Decepticons have uncovered Thunderwing, an ancient being that they will use to try to take over the Earth.

----
!! This game provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: Arcee, Airachnid for the Decepticons.
* AdaptationalBadass: Thunderwing receives this treatment. Not only is he a dangerous combatant, but he's also bigger than any transformer other than Unicron himself.
* AntiVillain: He doesn't get much characterization in-game, but Thunderwing is not to be taken lightly.
* ArmCannon
* AttackItsWeakPoint: [[spoiler:Ratchet builds a device that kills Thunderwing, once Jack places it inside him.]]
* BackStab: How Thunderwing ''thanks'' the Decepticons for healing him.
* {{Badass}}: Thunderwing
* BadBoss: Megatron once again shows far less concern for his troops. Using Starscream as a shield is a perfect example.
* BigBad: Megatron takes a backseat to Thunderwing.
* BigDamnHeroes: Optimus saves the day, duh.
* CanonImmigrant: Thunderwing has been adapted from the Generation One series.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Not Starscream, oddly enough. Thunderwing betrays after agreeing to help him fight the Autobots once he's been repaired.
* DarkActionGirl: Airachnid. Like Arcee she's the only female of her faction.
* TheDeterminator: This is one of Thunderwing's defining characteristics.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Played straight with [[spoiler:Thunderwing, Optimus, Jack and Arcee manage to defeat him by blowing up his power core and causing him to fall into a volcano.]]
* CanonDiscontinuity
* EliteMooks: Megatron pulls out a new batch of Veichons to fight Optimus and his men.
* EscortMission: Bumblebee has to escort Raf to safty once he finds the boy.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Megatron and Thunderwing.
* AFatherToHisMen: Optimus, as always.

** BigBad: Megatron
** TheDragon: Starscream
** TheBrute: Dreadwing
** EvilGenius: Soundwave
** DarkChick: Airachnid
** SixthRanger - SixthRangerTraitor: Thunderwing

** TheLancer: Arcee
** TheMedic: Ratchet
** TheBigGuy: Bulkhead
** TagalongKid: Bumblebee
** [[TeamPet Team Humans]]: Jack, Miko and Raf.
* GatlingGood: Dreadwing carries one.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: It's never explained where Thunderwing came from, or how exactly he got himself trapped in the meteor in the first place.
* GlorySeeker: Starscream, for his own personal glory of course.
* HonorBeforeReason: When Optimus tries to reason with Thunderwing, this is pretty much Thunderings response.
* HumongousMecha: Again, Thunderwing.
* IncomingHam: Megatron, par the course.
* KickTheDog: Using the captured Miko and Raf to force Ratchet help repair Thunderwing? Really, Megatron?
* OhCrap: Starscream has a pretty good reaction of this after [[spoiler:Thunderwing is completely repaired and makes his intentions clear.]]
* PlotArmor: With the exception of [[spoiler:Thunderwing]], every named character survives the game, likely to avoid any contradictions with the ongoing series.
* RedshirtArmy: Megatrons troops.
* SceneryPorn: Many of the game arenas look very good.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Arcee and Airachnid are the only "female" Autobot and Decepticon respectively.
* SmugSnake: Starscream, what else is knew.
* StormingTheCastle
* TransformingMecha
* YouFool: Used by Megatron when he finds Starscream, [[spoiler:has finished repairing Thunderwing]].
