- Adaptational Name Change: Optimus is renamed Opala in the story in accordance with the Gender Flip in the story.

- Affectionate Nickname: Soundwave refers to Kenneth as "Clippy" after interacting with him in chapter 5
- Amazonian Beauty: Overlaps with Tomboy for Breakdown.
- Anger Born of Worry: Andrew is understandably angry at Kenneth for not informing him that he somehow befriended the Decepticons thanks to their previous efforts to take over Earth before Unicron's defeat, not to mention that Kenneth was literally kidnapped by them. He only calms down after Kenneth reassures him of their non-hostility.
- The Engineer: Of the mechanic type for Kenneth.
- Exhausted Eye Bags: Kenneth has these because of his insomnia.
- Gender Flip: Pretty much all of the Transformers are gender-swapped from male to female, with Arcee being the only exception to the rule so far.
- The Insomniac: Kenneth Miller suffers from insomnia as evidenced by his Exhausted Eye Bags, leading to him consulting Shockwave for sleeping medication so he can finally enjoy a good nights sleep.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The Cons may initially be abrasive towards Kenneth, but they do warm up to him as he helps them out around base and gets to know them better.
- Lighter and Softer: Instead of a story about two warring Cybertronian factions fighting each other for dominance, this fic is a Slice of Life story focusing on the interactions between the genderbent, humanized Transformers and their human companions.
- Nice Guy: Kenneth is a very kindhearted and amicable person despite his shyness, enabling him to befriend the Decepticons despite being kidnapped by them in the first place.
- Not So Stoic: Soundwave is notably flustered when her mask falls off in Chapter 5 because of her self-consciousness towards her
