** His initial suspicion of Graveheart is justified. Not only is Graveheart the LoneSurvivor of Rock's raiding team, but he's appearing in Rock's throne room serving as the herald of King Cryos, the leader of an enemy world.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Unicron]]. They both devour planets, with a purpose to destroy all life. However, the Beast Planet has one critical advantage over its' inspiration: it is '''INVINCIBLE'''. No such thing as a [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie Matrix of Leadership]] to stop it. It took a planet with literal teleportation capabilities for the heroes to get it out of the way... and it still managed to find a planet to gobble up in the end.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually the compassionate and mild-mannered leader of the Alliance, but keep in mind that this is also the same man who [[spoiler: snapped like a twig and took out most of Fire's aerial fleet by himself after his brother Mica was killed right in front of him]]. Indeed many on Rock including Jade feared he had gone completely mad with grief.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Unicron]]. They both devour planets, with a purpose to destroy all life.

* EldritchAbomination: A nigh-unstoppable entity large enough to devour [[PlanetEater entire worlds]] at a time.

* PlanetEater: It devoured Tekla's entire home system including Water, later devours Fire, [[spoiler: (Jungle self-destructed) and Reptizar]], and has probably swallowed up or indirectly destroyed countless of other worlds in the past.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the toy line, it only had two giant, world-ending cannons. In the cartoon, it has '''at least seven''', as first seen in "This is how the world ends."

* TheyJustDontGetIt: His massive pride and SuicidalOverconfidence in Rock's superiority completely blind him to how implacable the Beast Planet is. He's shown a video of Planet Water's last stand, using their entire planet as a WaveMotionGun against the Beast, knows that the Beast Planet emerged unscathed from ''inside a sun'' and that it destroyed one Battle Moon from incredible distance, and in a head-on fight destroyed another with ease, despite that same Battle Moon having fired multiple shots down right down the barrel of the massive cannon that destroyed it to no effect. After all this, he ''still'' believed that "a single glorious thrust" was sufficient to eliminate the Beast. Pyrus pointing it out only made him hesitate. Not until Pyrus ''begged'' to have his people spared, did Mantle relent, and that was a split second before the Beast fired its massive cannons upon them again.

** His wariness of the Alliance is not unfounded. Ignoring the generations of war between his world and the other members, his planet's most powerful assets, the Battle Moons, have been stolen on at least two occasions by Alliance members, with none of the perpetrators facing any sort of punishment.

* JerkassHasAPoint: His initial suspicion of Graveheart is justified. Not only is Graveheart the LoneSurvivor of Rock's raiding team, but he's appearing in Rock's throne room serving as the herald of King Cryos, the leader of an enemy world.

---> '''Graveheart:'''"Cryos! What just happened?!"\\

---> '''Pyrus:'''"It's JADE! [[TheCavalry And she's not alone!]]"
---> '''Cryos:'''"Thank the Great Glacier, the tides of battle once again shift in our favor!"

---> '''Jade:'''"We await your orders."
---> '''Graveheart:'''" In that case, fire at will."
---> '''Jade;'''"Hahaha. I do so love it when you say that."

---> '''Jade:'''"Concentrate all shields on the projected point of impact."

--->'''Pyrus:'''"We've beaten you so many times, it's getting boring."

---> '''Femur:''' "Until now, my greatest threat was ''you,'' Old Buddy."

---> "You take the throne, you rule on Bone. The guy that dies is food for flies."

--->'''Femur:'''"My soldiers aren't accustomed to being blindsided like this!"
--->'''Cryos:'''"Your soldiers are't accustomed to combat, period!"

---> "Come to me, MY BEAST DRONES!"

---> '''Lamprey:'''"You and your planet are doomed. Any hope of survival is just an illusion."
---> '''Femur:'''"Thanks for the clue, Babe."

%%* TheBigGuy: In the FiveManBand.

* TheLancer: To Graveheart and the FiveManBand.

---> '''Cryos:'''"It would seem even my patience has limits."

---> "THE! BEAST! STANDS! REVEALED!"

* TheHeavy: By far, the biggest and most powerful weapons the cluster can bring to bear.

* DotingParent: [spoiler: Whilst he initially takes being gifted with the Sapling with his usual characteristic sarcasm, he quickly seems to take a liking to parenthood, and treats it like a beloved child.]]

* AccidentalHero: Yes, he may be bumbling and inept, but he ''does'' have his world's best interests at heart and his decisions were all fairly sound. In addition, when The Beast came to his world and sent drones to attack, he fought on the front lines, as much as he could anyway, and made all the right decisions to facilitate Graveheart's actions and minimize the damage.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: ''No-one'' in the Alliance likes him, but they tolerate his insufferable pride because Planet Rock's battle-moons are the most formidable weapons in the Cluster, and are sorely needed in the war against the Beast Planet.

* JumpedAtTheCall: When the Beast first invade, he immediately offers to help Graveheart build the Alliance.

%% * RoyalBrat: She can be fairly abrupt in conversation, and is stubborn to a fault, but underneath she genuinely cares about her friends and only wants to help.

* FriendlyNeighborhoodGangsters: Femur is based on the archetype of the decadent, scheming, ruthless yet weirdly affable and fun-loving Mafia don; as the series goes on, more emphasis is placed on his benevolent aspects.

* HeroWithAnFInGood: Planet Bone could have a worse emperor than Femur, by far. Despite his many, many flaws, at the end of the day, even though the populace doesn't always appreciate it, his first, last, and utmost priority is Planet Bone's (not his own) well being. Every time he tries to broker a deal with Lamprey, it's because he's trying to secure their safety, in the face of an ovherwhelming threat.

* MilitaryCoup: Femur comes perilously close to this after he orders his fleet to flee the battle of Remora. Turns out while the people of Bone encourage ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, outright cowardice is frowned upon, as Pelvis points out:

* StubbornMule: Less than Lord Manle, but more justified. His world's astronomy has not reached a level where he can ''see'' other habitable worlds, let alone communicate with them, and the stories of the Beast Planet and it devouring planets whole are so far outside his experience and scale of comprehension, that it would have been stranger if he did belive the main characters merely on verbal testimony alone. Even Cryos, who accuses him of being brainless as a result of this, did not believe Tekla when she came to warn him, and she was being chased by drones at the time.
