* Looking back at the first episode, Bulkhead's reaction upon getting his first impression of Miko is really funny since he just looked ''so uncomfortable'', and then later on the two are pretty much inseparable and go to monster truck rallies together.
* Fowler's torture by Starscream is horrifying, but his delirium afterwards is hilarious:
--> "Grandma? Is it cookie time?"\\
"The emu says YEAH!"\\
"I like pie. Can we stop for pie?"\\
"You, soldier! You're out of uniform! Put on some pants!"
* In "Masters & Students", Jack trying to build a motorcycle with Arcee.
-->'''Jack''': You're a motorcycle, Arcee! Shouldn't you know how to build a motorcycle ''engine''?\\
'''Arcee''': You're a human, Jack. Can you build me a small intestine?
** From the same episode, Ratchet hijacking the kids' science projects, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsGzSD9CgP0 which can be seen here]].
** Starscream puts in a deliciously hammy performance: "What use are troops who can't rise to the task of wreaking unspeakable destruction in my name?"
* From "Scrapheap": The power goes out while Bulkhead and Miko are searching for the Scraplets. Bulkhead screams... in a very high-pitched tone.
-->'''Miko:''' Did you just [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl scream like a little girl]]?
-->'''Bulkhead:''' No! M-Maybe... Can we talk about this later?
** Bulkhead then freaks out and screams again when a bunch of cables fall on him, much to Miko's disbelief.
--->'''Miko:''' Okay. Wish I hadn't seen that.
** First in Scrapheap, the StaggeredZoom - When Ratchet spots Raf holding a Scraplet, there is a staggered zoom on it, complete with dramatic beats. Ratchet, Bulkhead and Bumblebee instantly leap back in terror and draw weapons on it. Made hilarious by the fact that Scraplets are ''tiny'' and ''adorable'' - as long as you're not made of living metal.
* [[GrumpyOldMan Ratchet's]] reaction to the second party in "Con Job":
-->"It's like a recurring nightmare."
** Also, Starscream's reaction to the bomb attached to Makeshift is pretty funny. "WHOA!"
* In "Convoy", Ratchet explains the dangers of ground bridging in a moving train to the kids.
--> '''Ratchet:''' You want me to not only bridge you into a confined space, but one traveling at 90 miles per hour? I can't even count the number of things that can go wrong —- mass displacement trauma, twisted limbs, metal burn! ''[[[{{Beat}} Kids stare blankly]]]'' Well, maybe not the last one.
* In "DeusExMachina", Bulkhead randomly shouting gibberish while listening to a rock song is ''ridiculously hilarious.'' And Miko joining in afterwards just makes it funnier.
** Ratchet, upon getting Agent Fowler's answering machine:
--->[[HypocriticalHumor "I hate talking to machines."]]
* In "Speed Metal", Bulkhead trying to cover the fact that he knew Jack and Bumblebee were racing:
-->'''Arcee''': Did you know about this?\\
'''Bulkhead''': No. Maybe. A little.
** In the same episode, Raf and Miko's punitive attempts to lie to Optimus.
*** Optimus' expression selling it for the comedic gold that it is.
----> '''Optimus:''' Raf, Miko, do either of you know where the others have gone?
----> '''Miko:''' [[ActingUnnatural Why, no, sir! We do not know!]]
----> '''Raf:''' [[ActingUnnatural Miko is correct! We do not know!]]
----> '''Miko:''' [[ActingUnnatural Why would we know?]]
----> '''Optimus:''' Hmm. ''[[FascinatingEyebrow (raises eyebrow)]]''
** In the car park, somebody is kicking in somebody's trunk - but Vince is strapped in Knock Out's front seat. So, uh... what poor sucker is in a strange car's trunk?
*** I think that was just Knock Out himself grumbling.
** YMMV on this one, but Knock Out saying he's learned his lesson and that he paid for it by losing a car door (he'd lost it when Optimus tore off the car door to get Vince out), but Starscream says, "You have paid when I say you have paid." before he lifts a clawed finger. The look on Knock Out's face is priceless when he realizes what Starscream is about to do.
*** Speaking of hilarious OhCrap faces, Breakdown's expression just before Bulkhead clobbers him with a lamppost is also priceless.
* In "Sick Mind", Starscream's not happy with his ship's maintainence:
--> '''Starscream:''' Why has the electro-magnetic shielding not been repaired?!
--> '''Vehicon:''' The crews are working as quickly as they can, Lord-
--> ''(Starscream smacks him in the face)''
** Ratchet does the same with Bulkhead in ''Stonger, Faster''.
* In "Out of His Head", when Megatron is controlling Bumblebee, and makes him destroy something, Ratchet appears, this exchange ensues:
-->'''Ratchet:''' BUMBLEBEE!
-->(Bumblebee looks at Ratchet, not quite sure what's going on)
-->'''Ratchet:''' I ''NEEDED THAT''!
** Pretty much ''any'' time Ratchet says "I NEEDED THAT!", which has now become a RunningGag.
*** Optimus and Agent Fowler's exchange:
----> '''Fowler:''' (voice ''dripping'' with sarcasm) Prime, you spot any Decepticons wearing hula-skirts recently?
----> '''Optimus:''' (silently rolling his eyes) No, Agent Fowler. ''Why''?
** Starscream's monologue in front of an unconscious Megatron. He starts ''knocking'' on Megatron's head, brags about having the last shard of Dark Energon while tossing it around and gesticulating wildly, and is interrupted by Knock Out. His expressions are priceless.
-->'''Starscream:''' Heh, that was the idea, Knock Out... *completely resigned* How long have you been there?
* Starscream's lies to Knock Out in "Shadowzone", and being attacked by Skyquake's arm.
** The latter is especially funny, if only for Starscream's reaction (remember that he had lost his arm earlier.)
--->(''Starscream is attacked by Skyquake's arm and pulls it off'')
---> This isn't mine! [[IncrediblyLamePun Unhand me!]]
** Later, when Skyquake finds ''Starscream's'' arm, he tries to fit it onto the stump of his ''own'' arm. It doesn't fit, and he throws it away and lumbers off. After a perfectly-timed {{beat}}, the arm falls back down.
** Of special note is Starscream [[TemptingFate boasting about]] how his newfound Dark Energon power [[NothingCanStopUsNow makes him invincible]]. Followed immediately by Optimus blowing his arm off. He wisely (and frantically) requested evacuation back to base after that.
* Also from "Shadowzone":
--> '''Optimus:''' Ratchet, can you use the cell phone's signal to triangulate the childrens' location?
--> '''Ratchet:''' In a ''parallel dimensional plane''?! *{{Beat}}* Let's find out.
* In "Crisscross," June doesn't believe Jack's ([[CassandraTruth completely honest]]) explanation of how he's been spending his free time. After Arcee comes to her rescue later in the episode, we get this exchange:
--> '''June:''' "Jack? Your motorcycle...?"
--> '''Jack:''' "I can explain, Mom... Wait, I already did."
* In "Metal Attraction", there's Miko continually misreading Bulkhead and Arcee's interactions as [[ShipTease romantic]] and trying to [[ShipSinking stop it]].
-->'''Miko:''' Ugh! They are ''not'' attracted!
** Also, June's... ''interesting'' remark on wanting to see Optimus Prime.
---> '''June:''' And I wore heels and everything.
---> '''Jack:''' '''''[[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents Mom]]'''!!''
** After Arcee tells Miko she has to return to base, Miko complains that Arcee is just as bad as June. Everyone at base is listening in on this, including June.
--->'''June:''' Is that such a bad thing?\\
'''Jack:''' I'm... gonna go over there.\\
''*Jack leaves his spot. June looks at Raf, who just smiles nervously*''
** After Arcee sends Airachnid flying during the first fight, Breakdown gets back up after being trounced by Bulkhead only for Airachnid to immediately bounce off of him and knock him to the ground again.
* Starscream has a really bad day in "Rock Bottom".
** The moment when Jack and Megs come face-to-face for the first time is ''far'' from funny. ''This'', however...
-->'''YouTube Comment:''' Oh... Hai.
* In "T.M.I.", Knock-Out's reaction to a rambling Bulkhead painting a symbol on him.
--> Knock-Out: You ''painted'' my ''paint job''! PREPARE FOR SURGERY!
** "I'm sure one hasn't truly lived until one has beheld Bulkhead's take on 'Still Life with Lug Nuts'."
** Once Knock-Out's explains that the cylnder he and Breakdown aquired is empty, Breakdown gives the same explnation in layman's terms...
--> '''Breakdown:''' Dead battery.
** Megatron's first instinct is to blame Breakdown.
* In "Stronger, Faster", Ratchet hitting on Arcee and Breakdown talking to a Vehicon about how he finds himself intrigued by Airachnid.
--> '''Ratchet:''' Hoooah!
** If you watch the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeRP67vZOso&feature=plcp&context=C47798beVDvjVQa1PpcFPnGe-QaWCOdRAEd88bFrNBhBpB48Vy8d8%3D "how's it hummin'?" scene]] closely, you can see that Ratchet briefly ''winks.''
* In "One Shall Fall", Raf replaced an online photo of Bumblebee (Phantom Car!) with a [[{{LOLCats}} Lolcat]]. I kid you not. Optimus's deadpan reaction is gold.
--> '''Jack:''' Hey, Optimus, wanna see something funny?
--> '''Optimus:''' (calmly) [[TheComicallySerious No]].
** Ratchet's laugh.
*** And his look of absolute horror moments later.
* In "One Shall Rise, Part 1", Miko makes the first ''canon'' Unicron/unicorn joke in twenty-five years:
--> "The ‘Cons killed a unicorn?" (Awkward silence) "White horse with a horn on its head... prances around all sparkly?"
** Agent Fowler, regarding the climate phenomena around the world, asks if the Decepticons have built a weather control machine. There's some inherent Fridge Humor in Ratchet's response:
--> One ''that'' powerful? Highly unlikely.
* Almost bordering on a ''very'' late IronicEchoCut, Jack idly taps [[spoiler: the key to Vector Sigma]] on a railing after being told that he's grown to become responsible.
** To be fair, Optimus told him it was a part for the ground bridge and not one of their most important artifacts.
* Megatron, after the awesome slow walk and dramatic moment of him being [[spoiler:''invited'' to the Autobot base peacefully to work with them]], looks around...
-->'''Megatron:''' So this is where the magic happens. Quaint.
** Miko threatening Megatron [[spoiler: while he's in the Autobot base]] hilariously and concisely sums up her character.
--->'''Miko:''' If you double-cross ''anyone'', mine is the face you'll never forget! [[BigNever NEVER]]! *Fowler drags her off*
* When Arcee jumps through the 'Cons' Ground Bridge and goes on a [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge badass rampage]] inside the ''Nemesis,'' looking for [[spoiler: Optimus/Orion Pax]], Knock Out gives the funniest response imaginable.
--->'''Knock Out:''' Scrap.
** His expression change immediately before makes it even funnier - going from the most shocked expression imaginable to "...I'm going to have do paperwork because of this, aren't I?"
* Starscream returning to the Deception ship and taking out two guards to basically raid the fridge.
** The way he carries his loot off is an amusing visual gag as well. Even better is his reaction when [[spoiler:Orion Pax]] asks if he's truly suggesting that [[ObviouslyEvil Megatron]] could ''possibly'' speak a falsehood.
*** He then proceeds to ''hide behind'' [[spoiler:Orion]] when some Vehicons drop by.
** When the Autobots interrogate him for the location of the Decepticon base, it leads to this gem of a line.
--->[[spoiler:'''Starscream''':]] "Well, I don’t know where it is now! It’s a ship, it ''moves''!"
* Megatron: "...and the first to address [[[spoiler: Orion]]] as "[[spoiler:Optimus Prime]]" will have their voice box torn out." It's the [[BreadEggsMilkSquick completely deadpan]] way he says it that makes it all the more hilarious in a [[BlackComedy dark humored]] way.
** "Warlord Ratchet, the doctor of doom."
* The "status report" scene, especially Bulkhead trying to disguise his voice and Fowler's ''StarWars'' ShoutOut. The [[OhCrap look of panic on his face]] is pure gold.
** Even more hilarious is Breakdown's reaction to Fowler asking how he is. He's actually momentarily ''rendered speechless by it''.
*** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent You can also see Raf facepalm as Fowler said it]].
**** Breakdown's response to ''that'' qualifies due to being completely unexpected. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.
** There's also Arcee figuring out who gave Ratchet and Bulkhead the information about the second Space Bridge's location.
--->'''Arcee''': (''Crouched behind a pillar watching the Space Bridge with Bulkhead'') Thank you [[spoiler:Starscream]].
--->(''Bulkhead looks down at her in surprise''.)
--->'''Arcee''': Who ''else'' could it have been?
* YMMV, but the way [[spoiler:Orion]] dispatches the Vehicons in "Orion Pax, Part 3" could be this. To summarize, [[spoiler:he's being kicked around while trying to preach to the Vehicons doing it to stop. He yells "Enough!" and whips out his guns, only just realizing they're there, then kills the Mooks while firing blindly.]]
** The complete confusion in his voice when he realizes he has guns is pretty funny on its own.
---> "Ah... I'm... armed?"
* "It won't just change your life, it'll ''transform'' it." What are the odds they'd see ''that'' commercial, right then?
** Not to mention [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:UrbanaOffendsBumblebee01.jpg their expressions]] immediately afterwards, including the OhCrap on both the kids.
*** Continuing on with that, when Raf tells Bumblebee that he's still awesome and speed isn't everything, in comes Jack and Arcee:
---->*Jack rides in on Arcee, popping a wheelie*
---->'''Jack:''' "Personal best, Arcee! You hit 120 easy!"
---->*Bumblebee looks at them dumbly for a second, before promptly giving them both a DeathGlare*
---->'''Jack:''' "Oh."
---->'''Arcee:''' "Uh Oh."
** They say that last part at the same time too.
** "For Primus' sake, will ''someone'' keep him occupied?"
** Ratchet, after picking up Raf after school: "You want to ride with the siren on?" (Also a [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming moment]] considering the circumstances.)
*** "Thank you, friend of Jack's mom! Who is a nurse! Who works at the hospital!"
** Bumblebee riding the pick-up truck like a skateboard is both hilarious and tragic.
* Megatron demonstrates the Cybertronian shield by shooting at Knock Out. [[BringMyBrownPants "I think I leaked a little transmission fluid."]]
* "Better at breaking things." (Bulkhead lets out a sigh of relief that he won't be doing the T-cog transfer)
* Everything Ratchet says while under the influence of anesthesia/stasis.
--> "[[MythologyGag What's that?]] [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Do I hear a Fuzor in need of voice box repair?]] [...] I am able! Just ask [[http://www.unicron.us/tf1998/characterpages/bantor.htm Bantor!]] He was all mandrill before I put a tiger in his tank!"
* Fowler: "Oh for the love of... get me someone who speaks something other than bleep!"
** Before that, Fowler speaks slowly to Bumblebee as if he can't understand English. It's funny, if somewhat [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold jerk-ish]].
* The LaserGuidedKarma involving Starscream at the end of "Operation Bumblebee, Part 2".
** "Do you ever ''not'' speak?"
** Starscream just sounds so childish and petty when taunting Bumblebee.
---> "Time to jet, because I ''can!''"
* "And the award for best use of a shield generator in a supporting role goes to: Knock Out!"
** Which leads to a funny bit of FridgeBrilliance, as the joke itself was an obvious reference to the Academy Awards. Aside from the knowledge of how to avoid drawing attention to themselves and the occasional human but of technology that may come in handy to them, most Decepticons have been shown to be rather oblivious to human society and culture due to [[FantasticRacism the belief that humans are primitive and inferior to Cybertronians.]] Knock Out, on the other hand, actively sought out a unique human automobile that suited his tastes despite being fully capable of taking an alt-mode with flight as an added bonus, and also took place in street races orchestrated by humans.
* Megatron's [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy extremely genre savvy]] response when Dreadwing declares that he'll kill Optimus. Megatron, knowing that 'Cons not named "Megatron" who try that tend to end up dead, wishes him luck, cuts the comm, and mockingly muses to Soundwave: "I will be quite surprised if we ever set eyes on Dreadwing again."
** The awkward moment of the ''huge'' Optimus sitting cramped inside Wheeljack's (comparatively) tiny ship.
*** It's the look on his face, coupled with the impatient (for Optimus) way he drums his fingers on his knees, that really does it.
** The 'Bots' threat to Dreadwing at the end basically boils down to, "If we all die, we're going to haunt you."
** Wheeljack's looking at all that rubble and it's clear he's thinking, at least a little bit, "Ah, scrap..."
-->'''Optimus:''' "If you will not take orders from me, that is one thing. But when you place one of my Autobots in danger..."
-->'''Wheeljack:''' "With all due respect sir, Bulkhead knew the risks; every Wrecker does. I'm sure he's just... uh... somewhere in this rubble."
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext Bulkhead apologizing to the fish.]]
* The first time Agent Fowler gives Skyquake his alt mode, it was an accident. When he gave Airachnid ''her'' alt mode, he's an idiot. By the time he gave ''Dreadwing'' '''his''' alt mode, it's ''priceless.''
--> '''Agent Fowler:''' [[LampshadeHanging Oh, not THIS again!!]]
* From "Crossfire", this gem of a taunt from Airachnid to Breakdown: "I know we've never seen ''eyes-to-eye'', but that doesn't mean we can't ''patch'' things up."
** [[spoiler:[[BodyHorror What she does]] [[KilledOffForReal to Breakdown afterward]] [[FunnyAneurysmMoment makes this a lot less funny]].]]
** From the same episode: Being savaged by an Insecticon is a profoundly unfunny experience, as Arcee, Starscream, and Megatron will attest... but the look on Screamer's face when the thing come after him is utterly hilarious.
* From "Nemesis Prime", right after Bulkhead manages to catch Fowler in his car which was falling, he seems a little delirious for a second... then his airbag goes off.
** Earlier, Fowler turns on his radio to reveal that he's a fan of [[WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie The Touch]] and hums along in an off key manner.
* From "Grill", the whole episode is basically a recap episode and Fowler's superior is doubting a lot of what Fowler is saying, including that Optimus is still alive. Eventually, Fowler just ''calls'' Prime to let him know that the General is concerned about his health and well being. Prime promptly shows up ''right next to the building'' with:
--> '''Prime''': "I am fine, General Bryce. How are you?"
** Not to mention the way the camera angle jostles and changes, indicating the poor private tasked with recording the session has staggered backwards and is now on the floor.
*** An added bonus is that the camera's battery is almost dead, and in fact dies at the very end of the episode. Hurray for budget cuts!
** This exchange after Fowler details the Unicron incident.
--->'''General Bryce:''' It defies all logic, Bill. Dark Energon? Then you go on record saying that you believe in magical horses with horns on their heads.
--->'''{{Beat}}'''
--->'''Fowler:''' [[FlatWhat What]]?
--->'''General Bryce:''' Do you deny previously reporting that Megatron helped defeat a unicorn?
--->'''Fowler:''' Oh? That's what you...? Uni''cron''! The ultimate evil! Permission to strike this from the record.
** The fact that Fowler flies a jet without a flight suit is finally lampshaded and justified. Apparently, Ratchet installed some tech in his plane that allows him to survive the g-forces while just wearing his normal suit.
--->"I like to feel comfortable."
** The RunningGag about Fowler accidentally giving Decepticons their flight modes also pops up, as we see clips of all three instances so far back to back. It actually makes them even funnier.
** Fowler trying to explain the kids' involvement, without letting on that they are, in fact, minors.
*** Especially describing Miko's skill as "[[MotorMouth Communication.]]"
*** Followed by a series of the most memorable Miko quotes of the series - which are even funnier back-to-back.
* In "Armada" when Starscream finds out just how unfair the [[spoiler: cloning process]] went for him: [[spoiler: The clones got Transformation Cogs (which he lost), and [[{{Synchronization}} he feels their pain]]. He doesn't discover that last part until one of them has a fatal confrontation with Bulkhead]].
** Bulkhead attempting to be stealthy. He's not very good at it.
** Also, just listening to [[spoiler:all the clones]] talk with each other was pretty funny. SteveBlum must've had fun recording this episode.
** The [[OhCrap reaction]] of an Insecticon right before flying into a tree and crashing into Airachnid.
** The back-and-forth between Megatron and the clones:
--->'''Clone 1''': No, you're trying to trick us!\\
'''Megatron''': Am I?\\
'''Clone 2''': Is he?
** Bulkhead, upon returning to base.
--->'''Bulkhead''': Guys, you are not gonna ''believe'' the day I had! ''(Beat, Bulkhead notices [[spoiler: Airachnid in stasis]])'' ...oh, you too, huh?
** The fact that the only person to do real damage to Megatron (or his ship) in this episode was '''''Bulkhead''''', the least stealthy, bulkiest Autobot in the main team--and ''none of the Decepticons ever knew he was there''.
*** Plus his constant mantra of "Stealthy, stealthy... " while he tiptoes around. Bulkhead. ''Tiptoeing''.
**** And his expression on running into a hastily departing Starscream clone, seemingly BackFromTheDead after [[PunchPunchPunchUhOh having beaten him to death]], is priceless.
** Megatron's ThisIsGonnaSuck expression when announcing that the ship was going to crash is just hilarious, especially given how uncharacterstic it is.
** After Starscream kills his last clone:
--->'''Starscream:''' I feel your pain. ''Really, I do''... *clenches teeth and aims; screen goes to black as he fires* '''''[[ScreamDiscretionShot AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGHHH!]]''''' ''Scrap'', that hurt!
** After Bulkhead and Starscream run into each other, there's this line from Starscream after Bulkhead asks him what he's doing here:
--->"Why is it that every time I return to my old stomping grounds, I find an Autobot roaming the halls?"
* From "Flying Mind" we have Fowler proving once again, he's the master of the NonSequiturThud.
-->'''Miko:''' On your feet, soldier!
-->'''Fowler:''' And beavers, and ducks, and walnuts, and grandma! *Thud*
** At the end of the episode, Knock Out is waking up after being hit with a stun beam and sees Jack. He takes out his drill and threatens Jack, but then Ratchet shows up and floors Knock Out with one punch, making this scene hilarious (and awesome).
--->'''Knock Out:''' Say ahhh...
--->'''Ratchet:''' I'm here to offer a second opinion! *punch*
** When Ratchet questions the kids' idea to contact Megatron to see why the ship is out of control, the kids reply by doing a shrug. He then turns to Fowler who shrugs in the exact same way, which looks a bit silly.
** There's something very funny about how realistically the kids and Fowler are climbing up Knock Out in order to use the data upload.
--->'''Miko:''' Looks like Doc Knock is ''[[IncrediblyLamePun knocked out.]]''
** What could be more funny than using a frozen Megatron's own ''weight'' as he's falling backwards to pull a lever?
* From "Tunnel Vision", more of Fowler's delirium talk.
--> "BANANAFISH!"
** The entire episode is basically a long HumiliationConga for Knock Out. Getting partnered with an Insecticon, getting hit by a train twice, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking getting his finish scratched...]]
*** His [[BigNo reaction]] when he sees the results of stopping a train with his face.
** "[[BlatantLies We lost our dog]]!"
* From "Triangulation" we have Starscream on a Cybertronian hover-scooter.
--> "Faster, you pathetic excuse for transportation!"
** Starscream learns about Dreadwing's promotion.
--> '''Starscream''': "First Lieutenant!?!?! That's my post!
-->(the Vehicons all cock their guns at him)
--> '''Starscream''': ...Eh, ''was'' my post.
** Despite how {{Badass}} it was that Starscream escaped with the Apex Armor, it's still pretty funny that he now has to walk all the way back from Antarctica in order to repair himself.
*** [[WalkDontSwim Along the ocean floor]], no less!
** This bit, as Starscream is being taken down.
---> '''Starscream''': You will not escape my might! [[GenreSavvy Wait... You two are up to something]].
** This moment from Starscream and Optimus after the latter's first duel with Dreadwing:
--->'''Starscream:''' If you could just remove my bonds, I will lead you straight to the relic.
--->'''Optimus charges his cannon.'''
--->'''Optimus:''' You will lead me there regardless.
--->'''Starscream:''' [[SarcasmMode You're welcome.]]
** The cuffed Starscream tries to sweet talk both Prime and Dreadwing, switching to whoever just showed up or looks to be in the lead. Neither of them pays any attention to him.
** [[TheComicallySerious Optimus]], of all 'bots, manages to trash talk Starscream when he brags after obtaining the Apex Armor.
--->'''Starscream:''' Not only am I intelligent, I am invincible!
--->'''Optimus:''' Yet, you cannot fly.
--->'''Starscream:''' Nobody's ''perfect''.
* From "Triage", almost all of Ratchet and Wheeljack's interactions with each other are hilarious.
** Knock Out's reaction to finding a bomb inside Laserbeak.
-->'''Knock Out''': '''''GRENADE!''''' *ducks and covers*
** Bomb disposal procedures on the ''Nemesis'' leave a lot to be desired...
---> '''Megatron:''' Knock Out, prepare to properly dispose of the obstruction.
---> ([[GilliganCut Cut to Knock Out running frantically through the halls of the ship with the bomb]])
** Megatron's reaction to the ensuing explosion makes it doubly hilarious - he listens for secondary explosions, hears none, and goes right back to what he was saying like nothing happened. Even funnier is that from Megatron's expression he was ''waiting for the explosion to happen at that very moment''.
*** Megatron and Soundwave in that entire sequence. Soundwave just looks on with his usual stoicism, while Megatron calmly admires the Autobots' ingenuity. Both are hilariously in contrast to Knock Out, who freaks out and ducks for cover.
** Knock-Out ''ranting to Megatron about his paint job being damaged'':
---> '''Knock-Out''': Can you believe what the Autobots '''did to me'''?!
** [[ItMakesSenseInContext Raf comparing Soundwave to a turducken.]]
** During the dogfight with Soundwave and Laserbeak, Wheeljack's ship almost collides with the side of a cliff until he pulls up at the last possible second. Ratchet's reaction to this? To ''scream like someone riding a roller coaster''.
** "Whatever you say... [[IronicNickname Sunshine]]."
* From "Toxicity", Fowler, before recovering, makes a ShoutOut to {{LOLCats}}.
-->'''Fowler''': [[MemeticMutation I can haz Cheezeburger]]!
** Any time Fowler gets knocked loopy, HilarityEnsues.
* A Meta example for the episode "[[Recap/TransformersPrimeS1E12Predatory Predatory.]]" In America, it was very suspenseful and almost felt like watching a horror film. Airachnid is a sadistic hunter, killer, and psychopath, and she collects rare species that she's killed. In Japan, however... One user on the TF Wiki compared her antics throughout the Japanese version of that episode to '''''PepeLePew'''''. She doesn't collect the rare species she's killed, but '''CUTE BOYS''' and attempts to coerce Jack into coming with her by essentially '''HITTING ON HIM'''.
* In the comics issue, ''The Battle for Bulkhead,'' has Miko's amazing Autobot detection system. Raf guesses that it's some complex system that works by isolating special factors about the Autobots.
-->'''Miko:''' Not exactly. Allow me to demonstrate. '''''BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLKHEAD!!'''''
* Knock Out's entire feud with the Insecticons in "Hurt", with him going so far as to call the Insecticon he was partnered up with "useless" to Hardshell's face.
** Wheeljack and his grenades.
--->Reveals a huge container of grenades.
--->'''Miko:''' I thought you...
--->'''Wheeljack:''' I only carry ''one at a time.''
** Another one involving the grenades. Wheeljack takes his entire cache and peeks out of the back of the ''[[CoolStarship Jackhammer]]'' to try and see where to throw the first grenade. After a few moments, he reassesses the situation, goes "Screw it," and throws ''the entire cache of grenades'' into the Insecticon horde.
** In the very end, Megatron proves himself equal to Optimus in every way, including the ''FascinatingEyebrow''.
* "Out Of The Past" gives us Cliffjumper attempting to convince two Vehicons that he had joined the Decepticons.
** Starscream is arrogant as usual. It's the way he's totally dismissive of Cliffjumper and doesn't even taunt somebody who's helpless for once.
--> '''Cliffjumper:''' Arcee! Arcee! ''(to Starscream and Shockwave)'' I'll scrap you both!
--> '''Starscream:''' Shut up! I'm trying to listen!
** Cliff in general is very funny in how lightly he can handle the situations he's in.
** Miko basically shoving Bumblebee out of her way. Bee's expression is what sells it.
** This exchange:
--> '''Starscream:''' I would just eliminate [Arcee and Cliffjumper], but the code that they carry is too valuable! If I could only break them open and just take it!
--> [Soundwave points to Shockwave's lab on Cybertron]
--> '''Starscream:''' No, I will not take the prisoners to the surface! Why should I let ''him'' have all the glory?
--> '''Soundwave:''' [replaying what Starscream said earlier] "The code that they carry is too valuable!"
* This exchange from "New Recruit":
-->'''Arcee:''' All those 'Cons came out of one pod?
-->'''Ratchet:''' Humans refer to the phenomenon as a "[[ClownCarBase clown car!]]"
** What makes it so golden is how completely serious Ratchet is as he says this.
** Smokescreen's one-liner after defeating the Decepticon forces in the escape pod with an Energon explosion.
--->'''Smokescreen''': Woooo! Too hot for ya, 'Cons?!
** Smokescreen's sheer giddyness about meeting Optimus, and everyone else simply giving a "Yes, we know" type of response.
--->'''Smokescreen''': (in shock) I.. don't believe it. You're Optimus Prime! (looks to the others as he points back at Optimus) He's ''Optimus Prime''!
** Miko making Bulkhead do leg lifts.
** Starscream surfing the internet.
--->'''Starscream''': This is what they call the "information superhighway". A trillion gigabytes of data... ''and none of it is useful''! Though some of it is oddly engrossing...
*** He then spends several seconds staring at an animated gif of a dancing monkey in a tophat, chuckling.
*** Even better, that's one of Raf's troll icons for when he's protecting the Autobots' identities.
*** "The tap-dancing monkey strikes again!" *high five*
** Starscream comes to the dig site for the the Red Energon, only to find that they already moved it.
--->'''Starscream''': The Red Energon is mine, humans! For you are ''powerless'' in the face of the ''mighty Star-'' ... what?
--->''(crickets)''
--->'''Starscream''': ...where ''is'' it?!
** Smokescreen calling Starscream a "[[CombatStilettos stiletto-heeled]] creep."
* In "The Human Factor", [[spoiler:Breakdown!Silas]] actually asks Knock Out to "[[TakeMeToYourLeader take him to his leader]]".
** Then there's Miko, Jack, and Fowler having to [=GroundBridge=] into Raf's house in order to get his computer expertise. When his mother asks him what is going on, his only response is "Study Group!"
*** Miko's [[OhCrap reaction]] to Raf's mother coming in is also hilarious.
*** A special mention goes to how [[TheWikiRule TF Wiki]] mentions the event on [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Raf%27s_mom Raf's mom's article]]:
---->"[...] she opened the door to find him working with a "study group" that included Miko Nakadai, Jack Darby, and [[OneOfTheseThingsIsNotLikeTheOthers Agent William Fowler of the United States government]]. Hopefully, she did not find this odd."
*** There's also Fowler using his stealth training to sneak out of Raf's room and down the hall to the bathroom, and Raf's objections to it.
---->'''Raf:''' I don't care if you were trained by a ninja! My mom's got eyes in the back of ''your'' head!
---->Later:
---->'''Fowler (sneaking back in):''' FYI, you're low on TP.
*** [[RunningGag And Bulkhead's still smashing things that Ratchet needs.]]
* "Legacy" gives us Jack and Smokescreen sabotaging Vince's car by stuffing it with fast food. Then doing the same thing to Jack's boss at work.
--->'''Smokescreen:''' That thing we stuffed in his tailpipe, what's it called again?
--->'''Jack:''' ''Pizza!''
** After Optimus [[spoiler:gets the Star Saber from the rock.]]
--->'''Smokescreen:''' I loosened it for him.
** And beforehand, in an ironic sense,
--->'''Smokescreen:''' It's really in there tight. (gets shot in the back)
** After being told Smokescreen needs a human partner, we get this:
---> '''Ratchet:''' Isn't having three humans here ''enough''?
--->'''Everyone else:''' *stares*
*** If you look closely, Arcee's [[JawDrop mouth is open in a little "O"]].
** Bumblebee elbowing Bulkhead in the stomach after the latter made an inopportune observation. Apparently the gesture for "Dude, ''shut up''!" is as universal as a wave hello.
** Jack's reaction to being talked into sneaking along on a mission with Smokescreen.
--->'''Jack:''' Great, I just pulled a [[LeeroyJenkins Miko]].
** Megatron's OhCrap expression [[spoiler: when Optimus is about to attack with the Star Saber]] is absolutely priceless.
*** Heck, even [[TheWikiRule TF Wiki]] has that as the main image for its [[http://www.tfwiki.net/wiki/Legacy article of the episode]].
** Megatron's increasingly angry and annoyed attempt to pull the [[spoiler: Star Saber]] out of the rock, but failing.
*** Punctuated by shots of the Vehicons watching and looking to one another with a mildly confused air.
** It's very easy to miss, but as Optimus looks up at the ''Nemesis'', and thusly at the horrified Megatron, it looks as though he's ''winking'' (though it could also be a blink - the lighting in that scene makes it hard to tell. The TF wiki acknowledges it as a wink).
* When Smokescreen reveals how he survived Megatron's attack in "Alpha, Omega":
--> '''Smokescreen:''' I, uh, borrowed the phase shifter.\\
''*beat*''\\
''' Rachet:''' ''Again?''
** Even better is that after that Smokescreen asks Ratchet if the Phase Shifter can be his WeaponOfChoice. Ratchet, surprisingly, nonchalantly allows it.
** "So, did [[spoiler:Alpha Trion]] ask about me?"
** Ratchet's suggested method of keeping in touch with the kids:
---> "We could always... 'text' them."
** While all the Autobots are giddy about going back to Cybertron, Smokescreen drops this:
---> "But I just got here!"
* Megatron gloating about how he [[spoiler:destroyed Optimus's Star Saber]] in "Hard Knocks". To Soundwave, no less.
--> '''Megatron''': You should have seen the look on his face!
** Starscream complaining about how despite giving SuperSpeed, "Red energon takes twice as long to process!"
** Knock Out being a PungeonMaster while [[CurbStompBattle curbstomping]] Arcee and Bumblebee with the Resonance Blaster.
* Megatron throws two Vehicons off the ''Nemesis'' to pursue a freefalling Smokescreen in "Inside Job", but only one of them has a jet alt-mode. The other one ScreamsLikeALittleGirl.
** Becomes a quick BrickJoke when a few minutes later, we see him hit the ground.
** Starscream facing off with [[spoiler: Slo-Mo]] Optimus Prime, Ratchet, and Bulkhead.
*** It gets better when [[spoiler: the Red Energon wears off while he's mocking the Autobots...]]
** Knock Out ending up [[spoiler:stuck in a wall]].
** Starscream sends the Autobots a messsage. The fact that Ratchet got bored of it really makes the momment.
--->'''Ratchet:''' A high frequency signal! (Deadpan) With an embedded message.
* "Patch" was worth having a clip show just to see Starscream dancing in a flashback. While the Vehicons chant "All hail Starscream!".
** And his reaction when he realizes Megatron was watching the whole time can be summarized as:
---> '''Starscream:''' Um... heh?
** When Megatron says they're going to look at Starscream's true motives, Starscream immediately goes into OhCrap mode.
--->'''Megatron:''' Now, where did we leave at? (making an impression) ''"All. Hail. Starscream"?''.
*** Not to mention his reaction after seeing Starscream's treacherous monologues:
---->'''Megatron:''' Word of advice - ''stop thinking aloud''.
*** Which is paid off as a BrickJoke a few scenes later:
---->'''Starscream:''' ''I do transform with an exceptional sense of style''... I said that out loud, didn't I?
** When they reach Knock Out acting as Starscream's accomplice in "Sick Mind", Knock Out panics and attempts to fast-forward past the aforementioned flashback.
--->'''Knock Out:''' Uh oh! (Frantically) Does this thing have a fast forward button? Or better yet, erase?!
*** Later:
---->'''Megatron:''' Infighting has nearly destroyed the Decepticons during your absence. We must operate as a united front if we are to revive and conquer Cybertron. ''(looks at Knock Out)'' That means each and every one of us, Knock Out.\\
'''Knock Out:''' ''(shudders)'' Megatron sure knows how to patch things up.
** Also, Knock Out's rather gleeful reaction when he sees Starscream's dancing and asking for chants of "All Hail Starscream".
--->'''Knock Out:''' This is going to be ''juicy.''
** And his reaction to finding out what Starscream did to Skyquake's corpse, due to the fact that [[AngstySurvivingTwin Dreadwing]] is ''standing right behind him''. Doubly hilarious because it practically sums up the episode as a whole.
--->'''Knock Out:''' (rubs his head) ''Awkward''...
* Starsceam, when confronted by an angry Dreadwing and ditched by Knock Out in "Regeneration", reaches for something to defend himself with and grabs... a really small drill. That Dreadwing renders useless in seconds.
** Then there's their attempts at getting the Omega Keys to work: [[PercussiveMaintenance smacking them on the table]].
--->'''Knock Out:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh gee, why didn't I think of that]]?!
** Knock Out and Starscream starting a key duel (which was initiated after Starscream scratched Knock Out's paint job), only to find out that combining the keys is what makes them work.
*** The fact that [[VisualPun Knock Out is a car, and got keyed.]]
* In "Darkmount, NV", Megatron grows frustrated with his Vehicons' inability to deal with Arcee:
-->'''Megatron:''' How many Decepticons does it take to eliminate one Autobot and her human pet!?
-->'''Starscream:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Well, in my experience...]]
-->'''Megatron:''' ''Not'' a riddle, Starscream!
* When Starscream catches a photo of Ratchet on the internet in "Scattered", Raf just so happened to have found it at the same time. So as Starscream gets Megatron's attention, Raf replaces the image with a dancing monkey. Knock Out laughs, but then quickly regains his composure when Megatron looks at him.
* Starscream [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] Soundwave's [[TheVoiceless voiceless]] tendencies.
-->'''Starscream:''' 'Vow of silence'. What a copout.
* Miko recognizes the similarities between Predaking and a dragon. Unfortunately, there's no such word in the Autobot Language.
-->'''Bulkhead & Wheeljack''': (in unison) What's a dragon?
** And later, when the mine explodes: "Yes! Snuff the Tragic Dragon!"
* Arcee on Bumblebee's new paint job.
-->'''Arcee:''' At least you have something to work with. If I reversed my colors, I'd be pink.
* Ultra Magnus upon meeting Miko.
-->'''Ultra Magnus:''' The indigenous population of this planet...do they ''all'' display the same disregard for authority?
-->'''Ratchet:''' No, pretty much just Miko.
** Even better is during Miko's tirade at Ultra Magnus and Ratchet, you can see Jack trying and failing to gesture at her to be quiet.
** ''Better than that!'' Just before he asks Ratchet, you can see a look of absolute horror on the Doc bot's face. Like he hadn't expected her to be so openly rude in front of someone like Magnus. Doesn't know her very well, does he?
* Watch Starscream's wings ''flutter'' when he's gloating to Shockwave about killing Cliffjumper for the hundredth time. Knock Out's jab afterwards just adds to it.
--> '''[[DeadpanSnarker Knock Out]]:''' Careful, Starscream, you might dislocate a landing gear patting yourself on the back.
* Starscream and Megatron's [[spoiler: OhCrap faces when they saw Optimus Prime Version 2.0 flying towards them.]]
-->'''Starscream:''' He can't fly, can't he?!
* Smokescreen [[spoiler:missing out on the whole Darkmount battle.]]
-->'''Smokescreen:''' Awww, I missed it!
* [[AscendedMeme Ultra Magnus couldn't deal with the Wreckers on Cybertron and he won't deal with them now.]]
* [[spoiler:Optimus]] and Ultra Magnus' first meeting in years.
-->'''[[spoiler:Optimus]]:''' (''surprised'') Commander?
-->'''Magnus:''' Sir, you're looking... robust.
** The Vehicons that took the other Autobots hostage are so dumbfounded by this turn of events they actually ''stand still long enough to get hit.'' Complete with the Autobots looking around at their adversaries in disbelief before pulling out their weapons.
** Later, when [[spoiler: Darkmount starts to go up,]] Ultra Magnus orders the rest of the Autobots to fall back. Cut to Shockwave, [[CurbStompBattle who's taking on Bulkhead and Wheeljack single-handedly, and winning.]] Then Bumblebee and Arcee come roaring up in vehicle mode and use the intimidating giant ''as a ramp,'' followed by Bulkhead shoving past Shockwave and following suit. Shockwave is left spinning around disoriented for a couple of seconds, then shakes it off and makes ready to pursue...until Wheeljack [[GoombaStomp Goomba Stomps]] him from ''behind,'' leaving Shockwave in his dust. Just as the Decepticon is firing at his retreating foes, he happens to look up just in time to see [[spoiler: Darkmount exploding above him.]] His deadpan reaction is the cherry on the top:
-->'''Shockwave:''' [[CasualDangerDialogue Soundwave. I require a Ground Bridge.]]
* Agent Fowler reminding the Bots to "Pack their kilts" when they head for Scotland.
-->'''Ultra Magnus:''' Um... What's a kilt?
-->'''Optimus:''' Agent Fowler can, at times, be oblique. I find it best to simply nod and mobilize.
** If you look, Optimus glances around briefly before answering Ultra Magnus.
** From the same episode, apparently the Autobots have been recovering gear from their old base. They got the ground bridge back up and running, but Ultra Magnus says there's not much else recovered. Wheeljack then reveals that the lobbing ball survived, at which point, he tosses it at an unaware Bulkhead, it richochets off him, and almost hits Jack and Miko. It's not so much that he almost killed them, but that it accidentally blocked Fowler in his office.
-->'''Fowler:''' A little help here?
** Optimus goes to investigate a Decepticon mine, only to find that his massive new body is too big to fit through the cave's entrance. "Hmm." (He manages to get in by using his vehicle mode.)
* When the Decepticons are analyzing the first Predacon bone, after Megatron and Shockwave explain that it was from a clone Megatron sent to Earth ages ago, Starscream asks if they're going to scour the Earth in another scavenger hunt to find the remaining bones, with Shockwave asking Starscream if he thought that the evil genius would send his pets to a distant world without chipping them. Screamy, taken aback, replies that he was implying that, then asks Shockwave if he seriously did. It has to be watched!

[[folder: Out of Canon Moments ]]


* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAjuK_-GmSI The commercial where Bulkhead was talking to]] WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake had two particularly funny moments. The first was finding out that Bulkhead has "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Equestria Girls]]" as his ringtone (actually Miko's phone, but he answered, so it still counts). The second comes right after Optimus enters the scene.
--> '''Bulkhead:''' It's for you.
** Just the way he says it makes this really funny.
* Another funny commercial had Megatron being in Hub High School's detention hall due to him having "anger issues". He then immediately ''[[http://vimeo.com/29635691 blasts a hole through the front of the room!]]''
* There's also the commercial in which Megatron sings for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKjBViIt-y8&list=PLF6DBC6E1230FB115 a summer promo]] alongside [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]] and [[WesternAnimation/DanVs Dan]]. Funnier still was the {{Mondegreen}} that resulted of [[AccidentalInnuendo his line]].
* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb_-VF_DTsQ "Behind the scenes"]] look at the series.
* The commercial bumps during the marathon lead-up to the season two finale were ''hilarious''. They featured clips from the show with new dialogue, such as Megatron calling [[IFellForHours Felix Baumgartner]] an amateur, or wondering why the Autobots always choose ground-based vehicle modes when they're up against flyers. Creator/FrankWelker must've had a blast recording them.
-->'''Megatron:''' Not complaining, mind you; just observing.
** You can find most of them [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5nLRBjGx9c here]], though they are in low quality.
** Megatron asks Soundwave to play his favorite song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZEL1hda9K8 during the lead-up marathon]] to "Darkest Hour". Soundwave plays the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' theme song.
--->'''Megatron:''' Ahh, good stuff!
--->'''Soundwave:''' *nods*
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YJEedMreJ0 Megatron transforming into a Care Bear. Seriously.]]
** From the same event, [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers Megatron's home movies]]. Particularly how he rags on Soundwave for his 80's alt-mode.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I5P80bYPM8 This fairly recent commercial on Cartoon Network Too.]] Transformers Prime clips synched up to [[Music/{{PSY}} Gangnam Style]] of all things!
* At Anime Expo 2012, a fan asked Creator/SteveBlum to say "[[{{Maroon5}} I've got Moves like Jagger]]" as Starscream. Becomes funnier as of "Patch" where we learn of his...talent for dancing.
* Bulkhead and Megatron (along with other [[TheHub Hub]] characters) sing "Deck The Halls". [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOTuZxFs6Bk we kid you not.]] It gets even better when [[spoiler:Bulkhead tries to sing '''Scat Music''' to it.]] The reactions from the other bots are beautiful.
* Ladies and gentlemen, voiced by the same man who gave us Japanese Waspinator, I give you... '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoX5hVy0Dy4 JAPANESE INSECTICON!]]'''
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5JO-9z3h2c "Jet! Robot! Jet! Robot!"]]
* The lead up marathon for the Season 3 premiere gave us [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7aB60g60u4&list=PLF6DBC6E1230FB115 Vehicons with surfer accents]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiHLN6ZhIIk And]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqgRMjad0QM now]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT9cidArI7I Megatron]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V0cjtIwiGA is answering]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhBanWbPEv0 fan questions.]]
* The Hub's "Decepticon Storytime Theater" video. Where a Vehicon shares a ''morality'' tale about the Decepticon Stumble Bee, and the perils of being popular.
-->"The moral of this story is, popularity isn't so great."
