* Out of universe example: in 2024, as part of the 40th Anniversery of the Transformers Franchise Hasbro announced a new figure of Omega Prime as their latest HasLab crowdfunding campaign. Within 24 hours it had achieved 50% of it's 10,000 backer funding goal (not counting streach goals) and was fully funded (again not counting streach goals) in just ''10 days'', shattering the records for the previous Transformers Haslab campaigns.

* In "A Test of Metal", Landfill lures Ruination into underground caverns filled with oil and then opens fire, igniting the oil and [[TakingYouWithMe nearly destroying them both.]]



** Omega Prime in general is a walking Moment of Awesome. Especially in his debut episode where he takes down Megatron, Scourge and Ruination all at once.

** Omega Prime in general is a walking Moment of Awesome. Especially in his debut episode where he takes down Megatron, Scourge and Ruination all at once. Note that Rail Racer and Landfill, the other two Autobot Combiners, would only be able to beat Megatron and Scourge at once, but would still have trouble with Ruination due to the latter having more robot components. Omega Prime defies this rule just by being made up of two extremely powerful Autobots.

* Meta: Optimus Prime lives. He makes it through the entire series without dying once. This really says something, given that this is one of about 'three' continuities of dozens where he doesn't die.

* In "Surprise Attack", Galvatron brings in his ship, the ''Darksyde'', to face off with the Autobots. Wedge's courage with trying to charge it alone enables Cerebros to bring in Fortress Maximus to the fight, and the giant Autobot quickly makes it clear that Galvatron will not threaten the Earth while he's around as he unleashes his ultimate attack, wiping out the ''Darksyde'' single-handedly in a CurbStompBattle.

** Koji gets one in the first episode. When Megatron has Optimus on the ropes with his Hurricane Shockwave attack, Koji runs up to Megatron and calls him a loser. This distracts the Predacon leader long enough for Optimus to get a HeroicSecondWind and beat back Megatron.

** Another example, in the series finale ironically his refusing to take an order form Optimus. Admittedly said order involved leaving him to be killed in a futile attempt to fight Galvatron, but still awesome.

!!The 2012 comicbook:
* In The Death of Optimus Prime, all the neutrals are having a violent protest, wanting to exile the autobots who reclamed the planet. They begin beating up all the autobot guards, so Prowl [[spoiler: sics the Decepticons on them. Ravage mauls a guy, Needlenose and Blitzwing beat a few [=NAILs=] down, and Horri-bull strangles one.]]
* Arcee is one of the most deadly and powerful Transformers (Evidenced by her taking down the Combaticons in her first outing), and she displays it here, taking on all five Constructicons at once.
** Bonecrusher gets one to delivering an OffhandBackhand to her the minute she engages them.
* Issue Five has Prowl, Streetwise, and Sideswipe going to arrest the Decepticons for planning something (But also because one of them, Dirge [[spoiler: witnessed Prowl's murder of Bombshell]]). When they order them to surrender, Needlenose and his flamethrower don't want to.
** Sideswipe still takes him down though, but not before he bought Swindle and Dirge enough time to escape.
* From issue 9:
-->"Us...am...were...[[spoiler: Aerialbots]]. Now...[[spoiler: Dinobots]]...you answer to...[[spoiler: The Superion.]]
* The end of issue 12, with Prowl [[spoiler: blowing Staxx to bits and preparing to attack as the Decepticons and Wheeljack look on in awestruck terror]] is both awesome and [[NightmareFuel horrifying]] at the same time. On one hand, Prowl's about kick ass which is sweet. On the other hand, Prowl's [[spoiler: about to slaughter the Decepticons who are just revolting because of the Autobots treating them like shit]] and has obviously completely lost it.
* The splash page at the end of issue 13 is also pretty awesome. Megatron [[spoiler: leads a group of Decepticons, including an unwilling Starscream into Prowl's Black Room to find a "warm reception"; specifically newly upgraded Decepticons Shockwave, Soundwave, Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Laserbeak, Astrotrain, Blitzwing, as well as the still-living Constructicons and Bombshell...and ''Prowl himself'', with his gun to Wheeljack's head. As Starscream can only stare in horror, Megatron proudly proclaims that Cybertron now belongs to him.]] Minds. Blown.
* Ironhide's IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight with [[spoiler: "Prowlestator".]], particularly since it begins with Sludge throwing Ironhide up so he can punch him the behemoth in the face.
* Orion [[spoiler: out-gambitting Jhiaxus and Bludgeon in issue 19.]]
* Soundwave and his minions taking on Blitzwing and Astrotrain in an EnemyCivilWar moment. [[spoiler: Needlenose]] of all people surprisingly intervenes because they've fought enough.
** Later [[spoiler:Soundwave chooses to stand up to Shockwave and fight against him, rather than join up with Shockwave's EvilPlan.]]
* When Soundwave is staring down Shockwave and Dreadwing, they point out that he stands alone. Soundwave counters that a Decepticon is never alone, and [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/5591face55eb8665539702ab72d016c2/tumblr_mvaoi4eE9R1rvl528o8_1280.jpg launches his 5 current minions]] all hidden away, onto the two.
* Galvatron, still pissed about the mind bomb, [[spoiler:''vaporizes'' General Witwicky on the spot, and blames his death on Prowl.]]
* All of season 2 had been building to a conflict between [[spoiler:Optimus Prime and Prowl]], and, come issue #42 that's precisely what we got. And '''how'''. [[spoiler:Prowl's smug refusal to accept responsibility for his actions drives Optimus into a rage, causing him to snap and punch the strategist to the floor. The ensuing fight [[{{Irony}} destroys the cell's table]] and spills out onto the roof outside, the two laying into each other for their perceived failings all the while. Prowl manages to stab Optimus with an aerial, but the Autobot leader recovers enough to leap through a flurry of stabbing motions and bury his forehead in Prowl's.]] It helps that the art during the sequence is beautiful, easily some of Livio Ramondelli's best.


!!The 2015 cartoon:
* [[spoiler: Optimus Prime]] himself appearing out of nowhere, singlehandedly defeating Underbite. And saving Denny from getting crushed (and possibly eaten). Contrived? Yes. DeusExMachina? Definitely. Unashamedly awesome? Totally!
* From episode 4, [[MissionControl Fixit]], who at this point was shaping up to be TheLoad gets kidnapped by the combiner Chop Shop. After Chop Shop forcibly makes Fixit his replacement arm (it makes sense in-context). With a little encouragement, Fixit takes control and beats up Chop Shop himself.
--> '''Chop Shop''': (''realizes Fixit is resisting his control'') You work for me now pally!
--> '''Fixit''': I (''punch'') work (''punch'') for (''punch'') my team! (''punch'')
** Also, Fixit's stutter seems to vanish during the battle with Chop Shop.
* Denny gets two in "Can You Dig It?":
** He manages to knock Ped out for a short time by [[RammingAlwaysWorks ramming]] his power shovel into him.
** When Ped is about to escape his stasis pod, Denny drops his electromagnet on top of him, trapping him in the pod.
* Think what you will about the [=RID=] version of Drift, but his duel with Fracture in "Hunting Season" was actually pretty epic.
* Episode 14 shows how Team Bumblebee's really improved, fighting all those 'cons. They were each able to hold their own against their respective Decepticon opponent.
** One goes to Steeljaw as well; He was able to not only free his teammates, but create a distraction that forced the good guys to stop chasing them and deal with said distraction.
* [[spoiler: Strongarm WhatTheHellHero speech on Windblade.]]
