* {{Backstory}}: One for the original trilogy, another for Mike's universe, and yet another albeit minor one for Vector Prime.
* BigBad: The Fallen.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Maxion when he becomes Scourge.
* TheChosenOne: Orion Pax is a prophesized Autobot that The Fallen searches for throughout the series due to his spark's unique atomic make-up. This soon comes to a head when Orion is directly called upon by the Matrix of Leadership to become Optimus Prime and summon Cybertron's spirit to vanquish The Fallen once and for all.
* CompositeCharacter: In-universe: Megatron is revealed to be a combination of Thunderbolt's charisma, skills, and ruthlessness and Straxus's paranoid and supremacist ideals.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Devastus's final words for Starscream is to tell him to look out for himself above all others. Devastus probably meant for Starscream to remember to think about himself before doing something stupid for other people, but Starscream takes the words a bit too [[ItsAllAboutMe literally]].
** While Megatron intended to overthrow Optimus, the Cybertronian civil war would've never gotten as bloody as it did if Optimus [[spoiler:didn't agree to hiring an assassin to kill the Decepticon leader]].
* SavedByCanon: Many, many characters.
* SequelHook: [[spoiler:Optimus's attempts to resurrect Jazz using Teletraan 1's holographic projector is first shown in this series, which will later transfer to ''Nexus'']].
* ShutUpKirk: As mentioned above, Megatron shoots down Optimus's attempt at a KirkSummation with an InsultBackfire and calling him out for potentially allowing a crazed killer to live while claiming he was dead.
