* TheGadfly: If Whirl can say or do something to antagonize other people, particularly for his own amusement, there are better than even odds that he will. Witness the hostage standoff with Fortress Maximus, where he ''attempted to goad a mentally unstable Max into shooting him'' and probably the rest of the hostages. Since he has zero fear of consequences, also this allows him to say things no one else would.

* LittleMissBadass: ''Inverted.'' Whirl is one of the tallest characters in the series, but his ''human avatar'' is a skinny little pre-teen girl with pigtails and an eyepatch. Sending Whirl into battle is like handing dual semis to an eight-year-old.

* %%HeroicComedicSociopathHeroicComedicSociopath: Whirl is very much Team Rodimus' comic relief, except his comedy stems from how ''wildly inappropriate'' most of his actions are. For insance, he once spent a fair amount of time goading an emotionally unstable hostage taker into trying to shoot him; this normally reckless and unsympathetic act is treated as just another Whirl moment by the rest of the cast.

* GoodIsNotSoft: While undoubtedly far less sinister now than when he served Nova Prime and Galvatron, make no mistake, Cyclonus is still a savagely brutal bastard with a blade whenever the situation calls for it.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Thanks to the crew stereotyping him as a Decepticon. The fact he participated in several notable Autobot massacres after the war doesn't help. However, as his CharacterDevelopment goes on, he is accepted by the crew after events like saving Rewind and Tailgate's lives. He even leads the crew in a sing-along of "[[Film/BackToTheFuture The Power of Love]]" at the end of ''Elegant Chaos''. Rodimus thinks he's so responsible that he is willing to put him temporarily in charge of the crew.

* AmbiguousGender: There's been several hints ([[ThrowItIn mostly accidental]], according to James Roberts) that Tailgate might actually be a "she".
** Quickly subverted as the series progresses, as nothing further comes to light (no pun intended) to suggest that Tailgate identifies as anything other than male.

** Quickly subverted as
female. Roberts admitted to it being an accident when it was brought to his attention, but was pleased when he learned of the series progresses, as nothing further comes to light (no pun intended) to suggest interpretation nonetheless, stating that Tailgate identifies as anything other than male.while not strictly canon, he had no problem with the interpretation.

* ThePeterPrinciple: For the longest time, Rodimus worked best as a solo-agent, and he was a pretty damn good one at that, able to singlehandedly infiltrate a Decepticon prison camp and rescue a P.O.W. without incident, and regularly demonstrating how skilled he was. As Captain of the Lost Light however... not so much. As Magnus outlines in the interlude "Signal to Noise", the very traits that make Rodimus such an effective solo-agent, his quick thinking and willingness to take risks, make him a poor fit for a captain in a post war world, causing to make snap judgements while ignoring the input of others, something he admits too when saying he had Magnus and Drift as his counsel so they'd cancel each other out and he could just do as he originally planned, and take plenty of unneeded risks. Magnus/Minimus elaborates even ''further'' when Rodimus asks him ''why'' he lured them to Luna 1 to meet Tyrest, outlining the constant mistakes Rodimus makes as a captain and explaining how he'd hoped meeting Tyrest would serve as a wake up call, the former of which Rodimus can't even argue against when admitting to Minimus how ''he'' was the reason Overlord was on board the ship. It took Megatron being made his Co-Captain and commanding a ''smaller'' crew for Rodimus to become close to competent again, since they'd be willing to make the same risks he made, and would be willing to call him out if need be.
-->'''Minimus:''' I've had misgivings from the outset -- when we were leaving Cybertron, and you refused to speak to Bumblebee. Then there was the ''sparkeater'', and you risking Rung's life, and then-- and then when Fortress Maximus took hostages and you made Swerve shoot, even though Max had been ''pacified''. You arrested Cyclonus on the ''flimsiest'' of pretexts, you ''antagonized'' the Galactic Council, and as for your ''staggeringly immature'' reaction when ''Thunder-''
