* QuestionableCasting: Fans initially questioned David Kaye voicing Optimus Prime since he'd previously voiced Megatron in ''Beast Wars'' and the 'Unicron Trilogy.' Kaye himself admitted that he was surprised by the casting, having expected that he would be voicing Megatron again. However, Kaye managed to win over fans, with his voice suiting the younger, less-experienced Optimus that the series was going for.

*** Also in ''Human Error Pt. 2'', There are quotes of "So much for the element of surprise" and "Just do it!" which become something [[Creator/TaraStrong Sari's voice actor]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipisMagicS4E6PowerPonies would say later.]] Also "Just do it!" becomes something [[Creator/ShiaLaBeouf Sam Witwicky]] says (and no, the [[{{Film/Transformers}} Sam from the other Transformers]]).

* RealismInducedHorror:
** Many fans praise the series for its in depth look at how fascist societies operate, specifically the anti-organic sentiments expressed by the Autobots on Cybertron, throwing innocent people into prison based on accusations (accidental or not), and the otrascization of anyone who questioned how things are ran. Not to mention, how Sentinel runs Cybertron is very eerily close to the behavior of real life dictators. On the opposite end, Megatron's methods of convincing people to be Decepticons can bring to mind how cults or terrorist groups bring in new members.
** Bumblebee being mocked and ridiculed by the other cadets can bring uncomfortable memories to those who faced bullying in similar environments.
** What makes "Thrill of The Hunt" a memorable episode is its surprisingly realistic depiction of trauma and survivor's guilt through Ratchet's flashbacks. Additionally, Lockdown is such an effective villain because people like him do exist in the real world; cold hearted, sadistic individuals who will hurt and traumatize innocents for the sake of profit.
** Similarly, Optimus's backstory is both heartbreaking and terrifying not only because of his survivor's guilt over Elita's "death," but also how Sentinel pins the blame on him to avoid responsibility for the incident. There is too many instances of innocent people being treated horribly because of unchecked character assassinations like this in real life.
