** The same episode begins with Silver Quill being fired upon by Thespio ''VideoGame/DuckHunt''-style, with Dr. Wolf playing the role of the infamous dog.

** Firebrand hits his during the second part of "Seven Nation Army" due to one too many people second-guessing him. The guy goes ''Super Saiyan'' when enraged.

** "Mercenary Melodies", which is for the most part a Looney Tunes parody consisting of Looney Tunes-style antics between Voice of Reason and Jasper Pie, takes a shocking turn at the end when [[spoiler: the 2 are ambushed by robots and after fighting them off ([[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome off-screen]]), discover a Memo from The Director addressed to "RM" and "BM", which after reading they run away in a panic]], setting the scene for "Red vs. Blue".

Following the release of the "Red vs. Blue" saga, Sweetie Bloom and Silver Quill announced they would be stepping down from the project, leaving the door open for a new BLU Demopony and RED Heavy respectively.

** {{KP}}: the "Princess of Discord", which has her don some purple apparel and surround herself in a chaos magic PowerGlow.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: One episode has the trapped spirit of Vector in Sweetie's sword convince her to find her super form in the hopes that the transformation will give him back his own physical body again. When she finally does access her super form, Vector DOES get a body again... as a small, cute mustelid-like AnimalMascot.

** [[spoiler:Dr. Wolf reveals that the Respawn Generator actually works off of the natural innate magic within an individual to bring them back to life. He doesn't possess ''any'' natural innate magic, and knowingly goes out into the battlefield of every ''TF2'' match knowing very well that any random explosion or shot to either his head or heart would instantly kill him.]]

** "Red vs. Blue" has Dr. Wolf reveal the nature behind the Respawn Generator and that it takes the innate natural magic of the team to bring them back to life whenever they end up dying. [[spoiler:It is then revealed that Dr. Wolf himself possesses no innate natural magic whatsoever; meaning that he has to constantly struggle to keep alive in the ''TF2'' Matches [[DeathIsCheap compared to the others]].]]
