* NoodleIncident: Bulkhead has seen a Cybertronian eaten alive by Scraplets. The details regarding this incident are (thankfully) not revealed).



* WhatTheyFearEpisode: Cybertronians share a healthy fear of Scraplets, as they are metal-eating creatures that can eat an Autobot alive (and the ones here actually leave Ratchet, Bumblebee and Bulkhead with serious injuries). To a lesser degree, it's revealed that Miko is afraid of spiders (although this is used for one gag and then never brought up again).

** Before that, after telling Raf (who's never seen snow) that he can't go with them to the Arctic, Optimus promises that he'll bring Raf back a snowball. He doesn't deliver on this promise (for obvious reasons), but it was still nice of him.



* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: The lights briefly go out, and you can see only Miko and Bulkhead's eyes (along with Miko's [[PrehensileHair ponytails standing up on end.]])

* CharacterDevelopment: At the beginning of the episode, Ratchet clearly doesn't hate the kids, but he's annoyed that they spend so much time at the base. By the end, he's developed a new respect for humans (seeing as how they were willing to go out of their way to help and protect the Autobots).



* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Since the Scraplets ignore anything that isn't made of metal, it's up to the humans to protect the Autobots instead of the other way around.

* FaceYourFear: Bulkhead is easily the most terrified of the Scraplets (having apparently watched another Cybertronian be EatenAlive by them), yet he's willing to be the one to lead the pests through the Ground Bridge.

Added DiffLines:

* FreezeFrameBonus: As Bulkhead leads the Scraplets through the Ground Bridge, Ratchet can be seen in the background [[BigBrotherInstinct moving his body over Bumblebee's]], shielding him in case any Scraplets target them.

Added DiffLines:

* DeadpanSnarker: After the Scraplets are frozen again, Bulkhead looks at the stunned Optimus and Arcee.
-->'''Bulkhead:''' I'd invite you in, but the place is a mess.
* EatenAlive: Bulkhead says he has personally witnessed at least one occasion of a Scraplet swarm devouring an Autobot bit by bit from the inside out. No wonder he's terrified of them.


Added DiffLines:

* FreudianSlip: While the kids make repairs, the Autobots strategize. This comes up briefly, demonstrating Bulkhead's true thoughts on the situation.
-->'''Bulkhead:''' So, if we get--''when'' we get the Groundbridge open...


Added DiffLines:

* HopeSpot:
** After firing wildly, Bulkhead has a comical freakout in response to what turns out to be some cables. Just as he calms down, the Scraplets reveal themselves.
** After the kids help put down a wave of Scraplets, Jack asks if that was all of them. The rustling noise off in the distance answers the question, with Ratchet certain these were just scouts and that the others now know exactly where to feed.


Added DiffLines:

* MoodWhiplash: Optimus and Ratchet discuss how their human companions helped save the day and are stronger than it would appear, only for Miko to comically scream over seeing a spider and run away in a panic.

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Scraplets?]]: Bulkhead is particularly spooked by the Scraplets - to the point of wanting to flee. Bumblebee is also terrified and Ratchet too is jumpy, with good reason.

* AbsenteeActor: None of the Decepticons are seen throughout this episode, as the threat here is the scraplet infestation, who are much deadlier than the incompetent Vehicon troopers with Stormtrooper aim.
