* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Subverted. Dreadwing attaches a bomb onto Bulkhead's back and then they fight. At the conclusion, Dreadwing pulls out the trigger but only when he presses it does he realize Bulkhead discreetly took it off and put it on his own back instead. Panicking, Dreadwing rips it off and throws it in the sky while Bulkhead retreats.

* TooGoodToBeTrue: The fact that Knockout was able to finally secure a relic, an Omega Key, THIS TIME after a string of failures is what Megatron claim this must be the case and infer it could be a decoy. Knockout claims that the Autobots fought too desperately for it to be a decoy.

* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Arcee indulges in the verbal variety, while Smokescreen is already feeling rotten about losing one of the Omega Keys. She takes it upon herself to rub more proverbial salt in the wound by scolding him about not taking on too much of the burden all at once because of his belief that he's destined for greatness and can handle the responsibility. Even Optimus tells her to shut up, but she completely ignores him.

-->'''Bulkhead:''' You love doin' your dirty work from a distance, don't ya? Too bad you don't have the ball-bearings to fight up close and personal.\\
'''Dreadwing:''' In this particular case, I will be all-too happy to make an exception.
* CallBack:
** On the subject of Soundwave locating the Autobot base, Megatron recalls [[Recap/TransformersPrimeS2E19TheHumanFactor a recent accumulation of evidence]] of where the human allies live.
** Before setting off an explosion, Dreadwing recalls how [[Recap/TransformersPrimeS2E6LooseCannons their last encounter ended]]. Too bad for him that Bulkhead remembered.
* EvilIsPetty: Knockout wants to go into the field in the hopes of getting some payback, especially for [[Recap/TransformersPrimeS2E12TunnelVision his last encounter]] with Bumblebee and Arcee.



* ProperlyParanoid: Megatron notices the key Knockout recovered is an exact duplicate of the one Optimus recovered last time. He quickly suspects it's all part of a larger puzzle.
* {{Pun}}: "Who knew that sound waves could be such a... knockout!"



* VillainBall: Knockout and Dreadwing both stick around to fight the Autobots rather than taking their relics immediately. Knockout actually wins his fight and retrieves the relic, thanks to the resonance blaster, but Dreadwing doesn't.
