3	* Starscream's stealth kill animations. They include him tapping the victim on the shoulder and slapping a bomb over his head or kicking them square in the [[GroinAttack gearbox]], then sticking a bomb onto them, all while laughing impishly.
4	** For that matter, the sheer fact that Starscream's ''stealth'' kill involves sticking ''bombs'' on bots.
5	** Or the fact that the final Stealth Kill animation has the Mook Starscream sticks the bomb to catching him in the act and throwing him through a window, but since he didn't see that you already placed the bomb on him, he explodes in the middle of taunting Starscream.
6	* In the act where you play as a Decepticon mook, you can clearly see before they’re kicked off their chair by who appears to be their boss that they and their friend were playing a shooter game or watching a movie on the console, the friend quickly changing the screen once the boss arrives.
7	* In a scene where Starscream stealth kills two mooks, you can hear one of the mooks shaking with a very cartoonish teeth-chattering sound effect.
8	* The credits have a few hilarious bits, including Bumblebee dancing to music provided by Soundwave and Metroplex playing with the bodies of Transformers as if they were toys.
9	** Even better is that Bumblebee is doing ''[[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir The Carlton]]'', of all things. And that all of the hilarity starts with Cliffjumper and Jazz ''brofisting to the opening of The Touch''.
10	* Of all times, during the epic final battle, Optimus and Megatron decide to engage in SnarkToSnarkCombat.
11	-->'''Megatron:''' Not bad for a librarian! Perhaps you should have spent more time in the pit!\
12	'''Optimus:''' And perhaps you should have spent more time at the library.
13	* The ShoutOut to the G1 Movie in Grimlock Smash is very nostalgia driven funny. Kickback is about to make his escape, only for the door behind him to land on top of him. Out strolls Slug in triceratops mode, who pauses and says, "Excuse me."
14	* Grimlock and Slug arguing after the former finishes off a group of Insecticons.
15	-->'''Slug:''' You cut through those guys like Beryllium Bologna!\
16	'''Grimlock:''' You mean Cesium Salami!\
17	'''Slug:''' No, Beryllium Bologna!!\
18	'''Grimlock:''' Cesium Salami!!!
19	** Another funny and awesome, moment occurs when Grimlock sees Slug charge a Bruiser. Grimlock shouts "Slug, look out, those things are toug-" but Slug effortlessly flings the Bruiser aside before he can finish. Slug says, as if he only just realized Grimlock said something, "What?"
20	--->'''Grimlock:''' Never mind.
21	* "''SHUT UP AND '''FIGHT''', SWOOP!''"
22	* This little conversation between Vortex and Brawl, with Onslaught telling them to shut it right after:
23	-->'''Vortex:''' Whoa, it's spooky dark down here.\
24	'''Brawl:''' ''You're'' afraid of the ''dark''?\
25	'''Vortex:''' Well, it ''does'' kinda make it hard to see.
26	* In the beginning of the final chapter:
27	-->'''Decepticon Soldier:''' Yes, sir.\
28	'''Vortex:''' Yes sir, what?\
29	'''Decepticon Soldier:''' Yes sir -- sir?\
30	'''Vortex:''' That's better!
31	* When Jazz first meets Bruticus:
32	-->'''Jazz:''' Whoa, Bruticus, you're even uglier up close.
33	** And later, when Bruticus breaks out his rotor-shield:
34	--->'''Jazz:''' You don't think I'm coming near that, do you?\
35	'''Bruticus:''' No problem! [[SlicesDicesAndMakesJulienneFries It slices, it dices!]] ButWaitTheresMore!
36	** Hey, Bruticus does have ''Swindle'' for his right leg.
37	* When Bruticus is attacking the energon transport:
38	-->'''Autobot soldier:''' He's going after the turbines!\
39	'''Bruticus:''' Nope! It's just in my way!
40	** Becomes HarsherInHindsight (or maybe [[HilariousInHindsight Hilarious]]), when you realize that destroying that turbine was probably the reason The transport crashes, destroying half of the Energon and getting the Combaticons locked up by Starscream.
41	--->'''Bruticus:''' ''[as the turbine explodes]'' Huh, maybe that wasn't such a good idea!
42	* Optimus is cornered by three leapers in a narrow hallway, enemies specifically difficult to kill from the front and Optimus knows it. As they loom over him, Metroplex's fist comes through the wall and crushes them. Both Prime and Metroplex just share a brief nod to each other and continue on. Also counts as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Metroplex.
43	* Metroplex repeatedly smashing Megatron into the rubble. Fully controllable by the player. Like the above, it's also a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for the big guy.
44	** Especially funny since during Megatron's monologue towards a captured Optimus, none of the cons notice a ''giant, hulking cityformer'' rising up behind the window until the last second.
45	** Even sweeter are the two simple words that pop up as your objective: destroy Megatron.
46	** After Metroplex makes an impression, Optimus orders the Decepticons to leave. Starscream is visibly considering backtalking like he usually might, right up to the point he looks up and sees Metroplex looming hundreds of meters above them. The comedy comes from how quickly Starscream shuts up (especially when Metroplex is visibly lifting his fist in anticipation of ''more'' smashing) before he decides to cuts his losses and run... but not before trying to usurp command of the Decepticons.
47	* The banter between Cliffjumper and Jazz, especially in the latter's mission:
48	-->'''Jazz:''' Cliffjumper, you catch any of that?\
49	'''Cliffjumper:''' You mean the screaming? The horror? Followed by more screaming?\
50	'''Jazz:''' Uh, yeah. That'd be it.
51	* This exchange after Megatron revives and appeared in the arena:
52	-->'''Starscream:''' [[MythologyGag WHO DARES TO DISRUPT MY CORONATION?!]]\
53	'''Megatron:''' ''[sarcastic]'' [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy]].
54	** Bad comedy indeed. If you listen to Starscream's full speech while in control of Soundwave, there's ''no way'' you can take him seriously:
55	--->'''Starscream:''' Decepticons, as your leader, I STARSCREAM demand absolute loyalty from ALL of my subjects. Onslaught and his Combaticons chose to disobey my order. They chose to break my law. There is no greater act of treason than disobeying MY direct order. I am the leader; all of you serve ME. I will not tolerate insubordination of any kind from any one of YOU. Tonight you will all learn the fate of those who choose to defy me. A fate so terrible, so awful and humiliating that you will never ever want it to happen to you. That is the lesson here; a lesson of EXTREME importance that YOU should commit to memory and RECITE to yourself, FREQUENTLY. Disobedience means treason; treason MEANS terrible fate; TERRIBLE FATE, could mean most anything if it is terrible. I want you to think about that for a moment. Think about the most terrible thing you could possibly conjure up in your PATHETIC minds. Now, double it! NOW, triple it! THAT is the kind of terrible thing I AM TALKING ABOUT!
56	* Finding the crown in Starscream's level, which he will then proceed to wear for the rest of the time you play as him. It's made even funnier once you switch from Starscream to Grimlock because one of the first things you can do once you're in control is destroy the crown by stepping on it, much as Galvatron did in the movie.
57	* After defeating Hardshell as Grimlock, Hardshell is just hanging by his leg from the vehicle he occupied. [[BorrowedBiometricBypass Grimlock grabs him, and slams his face into an optical scanner, unlocking the door.]]
58	* A brief but funny moment in Jazz's mission-- he and Cliffjumper come across a locked door in a Decepticon facility. It scans them with a beam and a robotic voice intones, "Access denied," to which Jazz simply responds, "We'll see about that!". He then proceeds to pull down the door with his grappling hook, and as the two of them stroll on through, the door says "Access denied" in a warped, wavering tone of voice.
59	** Another one from Jazz's mission: At one point there's a locked door and a lever that can take you to a weapon stash. Instead of the lever simply opening the door, it transforms, does the [[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir Carlton dance]], and then the door behind it explodes.
60	** One more from Jazz's mission: While roaming through the vents, there will be a grate that will open up suddenly, causing you to fall into an area soon to be swarming with Decepticons. Before they enter the area, we get this exchange:
61	-->'''Jazz:''' ''[after falling]'' Scrap! Thought that would hold!\
62	'''Cliffjumper:''' Your head was too big.\
63	'''Jazz:''' Careful! I'm sensitive about my weight!
64	* A lot of the prompts are either awesome or ''ridiculous''. A good one is when you're playing as Megatron and are about to reclaim your leadership from Starscream. A prompt comes up that simply says "Shut Starscream Up". You can let the guy monologue for a little while too, to heighten the effect.
65	* Some of Teletraan-1's comments can be surprisingly funny. There's noting quite like hearing it drone "''Stay smooth, Jazz''" in its monotone voice. Of particular note is his comment to Starscream in Chapter XI:
66	-->"''Projected odds of survival are extremely low.''"
67	** And of course there's what it says to Swindle:
68	--->"''It is unlikely you will survive Starscream's leadership.''"
69	** And it notes that Cliffjumper is on probation.
70	** When Optimus accesses it.
71	--->"''Greetings, Orion Pax--errrrrrrr, Optimus Prime.''"
72	* In the last part of "Starscream's Betrayal", when you first get to be Grimlock as you are passing through an outer hallway with bars as the walls, look down and you will see a Decepticon that got stuck trying to escape through the "window". The best part is that he has wheels and has apparently decided to take his chances with gravity rather than Grimlock.
73	* You can head into Grimlock's room to watch TV. As ''[[BigGood Optimus]]'', of all characters!
74	** Or you can head to the Kaon arcade. As ''[[BigBad Megatron]]''.
75	* If you end up missing all the homing mines on Vortex's level, Blast Off has something to say about it:
76	-->'''Blast Off:''' You plan on shooting any of them today, Vortex?\
77	'''Vortex:''' Hard to get a bead.\
78	'''Blast Off:''' Aim with your guns, not your mouth.
79	* In Cliffjumper's chapter, you can choose to lose your stealth at the trash compactor and take out 'Cons the hard way. A pair of shotgunners come out of a room filled with Energon storage boxes and... a pin-up poster of ''[[ActionGirl Arcee]]''. Cue [[DoubleTake you having a second look]] just to be sure of [[MaleGaze the color scheme and chassis]].
80	** Even more disturbing when you realize the game is in continuity with ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', which featured Cliffjumper and Arcee being partners and having a closer relationship. Suddenly, [[WhatTheHellPlayer you feel disgusted with yourself]].
81	* Also, Cliffjumper's reaction to the name of Grimlock's pre-Dinobots team, the [[AtrociousAlias Lightning Strike Coalition]]:
82	-->'''Cliffjumper:''' That's ''terrible''.
83	* In Soundwave's abandoned workshop, if you take the time to look at those treadmills depositing scrap in a melting pit behind he setup where you rebuild Megatron, you can see Frenzy running for his life on one, dodging scrap. Either Frenzy did something Soundwave didn't like, or he was having a really... interesting day.
84	* During the stage where Megatron raids the Autobot stronghold that has Trypticon imprisoned, there's a cutscene of Megatron approaching Soundwave, while Rumble is busy beating the scrap out of a downed Autobot that is twice his size. May double as both funny and (a bit) heartwarming moment, since Megatron proudly tells Rumble to show no mercy while passing by, and Rumble responds by smashing both of his arms across the unfortunate Autobot soldier.
85	* After beating Starscream, Megatron mentions that Starscream's "penchant for self-worship" had severely drained their Energon supply. [[HypocriticalHumor Then the Decepticons promptly bring in a much bigger statue of Megatron, so large its feet could stand on the bases of two of the Starscream ones.]]
