* The first episode ends with Duke jumping out of a ''rocket'' as it's breaking through the stratosphere, then he free-falls with''out'' a parachute to be picked up by Scarlett on the way down.
** Duke and Scarlett coming to Snake-Eyes, Jinx and Kamakura's rescue when their ambushed by Storm Shadow and his troops.
* Episode 2 "Escape", Cobra Commander's men Zartan, Buzzer, Torch and Macheteas surround Duke as the Commander makes his exit. Despite being outnumbered, Duke is far from impressed with them.
--> '''Zartan''': Duke, I've been looking forward to this for a long time.
--> '''Duke''': You may not feel that way when I'm through with you losers.
* Scott and his robot dog Spud managed to be pretty awesome in episode 3, "Capture". Scott, for his [[PlayfulHacker excellent hacking skills]]. And Spud for, once going toe to toe with some of Overkill's robots.
** Duke can't go help Scott himself, so he sends the next best thing... Snake Eyes.
* Episode 4 "Reveal", Snake Eyes vs. the android Vector. Then as Snake Eyes tries to rescue Scott, Storm Shadow crashes the party and the ninja brothers duel it out!
* Episode 5 "Sigma", Heavy Duty challenges Destro to a contest of strength. But only so that his [[PowerFists Power Gloves]] can create an opening in Destro's personal forcefield. Allowing Tunnel Rat, the opportunity to get some of his explosives through the field to Destro himself. When Destro points out to Heavy Duty that he won't [[HeroicSacrifice survive]] the explosion either, Heavy Duty smiles:
--> '''Heavy Duty''': Yeah, but at least I got ''you'' here to keep my company.
* Episode 6 "Race", despite getting caught by Storm Shadow. Hi-Tech proves his courage by being a DefiantCaptive, and refusing to give the rouge ninja any information.
--> '''Hi-Tech''': (''barely able to breath thanks to Storm Shadow catching him in a headlock'') What, do you want?!
--> '''Storm Shadow''': The location of the Power Stone. Where is it?
--> '''Hi-Tech''': If I knew I wouldn't tell ''you!''
** The fact that Hi-Tech actually sensed Storm Shadow coming, even if he'd mistaken him for Duke.
** Long Range proving to be just as good a sniper as he claims by managing to hit the Power Stone. Knocking it out of it's container without damaging it. With a small assist from Spirit throwing his Tomahawk to help clear away a dust cloud that had gotten in his line of sight.
* Episode 7 "Jungle", Zartan being able to got toe-to-toe with Snake Eyes.
** Spirit being able to find Zartan, even with Zartan's cloaking device. Simply by trusting his senses, instead of relying on tech.
* Episode 9 "Polar", Cobra Commander gets a moment after growing tired of [[MisanthropeSupreme Overkill's]] [[FantasticRacism attitude]] towards "organics", and calling him out on it.
--> '''Overkill''': I ''can't'' move any faster. Especially with so many inferior ''organics'' on my workforce.
--> '''Cobra Commander''': Are you deliberately insulting me? Or did you happen to forget that ''I'' happen to be an inferior organic too!? Overkill, I'm giving you exactly 36 hours to unearth ''all'' the power stones! Or it will become ''painfully'' evident to you just how superior organics can be!
* Episode 10 "War", Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow's final duel. Even though Storm Shadow ends the fighting prematurely, due to Snake Eyes worrying about Jinx and Kamakura preventing him from being able to focus.
* Episode 11 "Lift Off", Zartan managing to damage Scott's RobotBuddy Spud. Who had previously gone toe-to-toe with [[HumongousMecha Overlord Vector]].
* In episode 13, after greatly impeding his ability to assume battle mode by blowing up his Power Stone in front of him, Duke battles it out with COBRA Commander in a one-on-one duel without weapons to have him prove how tough he is. After taking a few blows from the villain, he shouts out, "I've had it with you!" before fighting back and besting him with some more punches.
--> '''Duke''': [[AndThisIsFor That was for the team...]] (''punches and sends COBRA Commander sliding on his feet towards the edge'') ...and THAT was for YOUR PAYBACK!
* The [=COBRA=] Ninja Battle Attack Trooper, very cool looking.
** Their most impressive in episode 7, when they acquire the ability repair themselves even after being badly damaged. Though Zartan, Spirit and Snake Eyes saw it as a NightmareFuel scenario.
** Also, the android Overlord Vector.
* Episode 14 "Hidden", just when it looks like Zartan and the Dreadnoks are going to get away with the stolen plasma generator. Lt. Stone, an experienced pilot, and an old friend of Duke swoops in to rescue the team with his small yet heavily armored dropship, the ''[[CoolPlane Dragonhawk]]''.
* Episode 15 "Invasion", Firefly's BigDamnHeroes moment. As he arrives armed with green flame projecting [[PlayingWithFire flamethrowers]] to assist Long Range. Taking out several [=BATs=], all by himself.
--> '''Firefly''': (''as he's literally walking through flames'') Is it hot in here, or is it just ''me?''
* Episode 17 "Showdown", the fact that Spirit was skilled enough to avoid getting taken over by Destro's [[MindControl Mind Riper]] device. Sadly, he's possessed in Destro's second attempt when the rest of the Sigma 6 team attack and overwhelm him.
* Episode 18 "Challenge", Tunnel Rat managing to outsmart Baroness.
* Episode 23 "Balance", for introducing Hi-Tech's Metal Mayhem suit.
** H.O.U.N.D. gets a moment, for saving Hi-Tech from Overkill's artificial black hole. True he suffers an overload and short circuits as a result. But he managed to save Hi-Tech's life in the process.
