* GagBoobs: Lightshow has these. Amy's suggestion that Taylor bring a puncture repair kit says it all. [[spoiler: She got them by taking Tinker drugs.]]
** Crasher [[spoiler:formerly Squealer]] is now implied to have them.

* FantasticDrug: [[spoiler: Knockout makes them as his tinker specialty. He has one that boosts strength in exchange for damaging the body and turning the user into a berserker, one that increases mental ability at the cost of eventually cooking the user's brain, one that speeds up healing but needs enough spare nutrients to do so, and one that can boost [[BuxomIsBetter certain attributes]] by introducing a second puberty- with all the hormonal issues that come with it.]]

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10788803/1/Worm-More-Than-Meets-The-Eye/ Worm: More Than Meets the Eye]]'' is a ''Literature/{{Worm}}''/''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' crossover by [=Metallix666=] (Spacebattles discussion thread [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/worm-more-than-meets-the-eye-worm-transformers.317017/ here]], Sufficient Velocity discussion thread [[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/worm-more-than-meets-the-eye-worm-transformers.14015/ here]], Archive of Our Own thread [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/5402840/chapters/12480887 here]]).

* AdaptationalWimp: Taylor's robots from their canon iteration. Their stats in the story make them go from about the size of a cell phone to maybe the size of an adult human at max. Their canon selves tended to range in size from "Large Adult" to "Building."

* AngerBornOfWorry: Taylor gets furious when she finds out that some of her Autobots can [[spoiler: overclock their shields by [[CastFromHitpoints linking them to their sparks]], all for the purpose of keeping their creator safe]].

* BadassBystander: Danny's first meeting with Miss Militia. He found found himself in the middle of a cape fight and ended up ambushing the villain with a crowbar. Said villain apparently still has a limp.

* BeachEpisode: Int 15.2 has Taylor forced to take a vacation, with the Wards and some of the Autobots joining in.

* BeyondTheImpossible: It's revealed in 14.2 that Taylor managed to ''[[spoiler:[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu damage Leviathan's core, permaneantly crippling him. In fact, the narration implies that Leviathan is dying from that injury]]]].''

* CallBack: Taylor picks up a few catch phrases during her adventures. First, her taunt to Trainwreck in their second encounter "The recieving end, welcome to it!" Gets referrenced during the Leviathan fight as well as the fight against Valefore. Also, when calling out Kaiser and the E88 after their attack on the docks, she ends her message with "You have my attention." Just like she did with Uber and Leet after they attacked her at school.

*** This is implied to have been what happened in the locker, and why she had a heart attack- she accidentally sparked her first bot, Rewind, and suffered a heart attack as a result.

** At one point [[spoiler:Rhinox uses his own spark to power a shield and protect himself and Taylor from one of Bakuda's time stopping bombs, severely hurting himself in the process]].

* CombatMedic: First Aid and Ratchet, being fully-armed Autobots under Taylor's command. Also Amy, after Taylor upgrades her outfit with armor and a stun baton.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: If you aren't already familiar with Transformers, this will quickly become the case for you as Taylor creates more and more Autobots.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Several of Taylor's sparked Transformers are canonically Decepticons/Predacons, but given that Taylor is solidly a Ward and hero, they are obviously on the side of good.

** As the story was written well before ''Literature/{{Ward}}'' started, [[spoiler:Amy]] is '''''significantly''''' more sympathetic here, as opposed to [[spoiler:having a massive case of NeverMyFault and implicitly molesting Glory Girl when the latter was unconscious at some point in the past]].

** When Saint captured Taylor, he immediately demanded the self-destruct codes for every single one of her creations. A nonplussed Taylor told him she'd never programmed anything like that, causing him to turn violent, screaming there was no way the PRT would have allowed her to deploy unchained {{AI}}s.

** [[spoiler:Danny and Hannah in Int 14.4]]
** [[spoiler:Amy and Taylor in 15.2]]

* CatsAreSuperior: Ravage has this attitude.

* JerkassHasAPoint: The Youth Guard rep who [[spoiler: takes the Wards off duty. It kind of falls flat when it's revealed she's also a CorruptCorporateExecutive.]]

** [[spoiler: Taylor blasts Fenja's head off before the villainous Valkyrie can kill Arcee.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: After Bakuda is Birdcaged, she is [[spoiler: killed by the inmate [[LifeDrain Siphon]], who Marquis is fairly close to and had told her about Amy]]. Why doesn't this fall under PayEvilUntoEvil? [[spoiler: Because Siphon was Birdcaged for being a [[WouldHurtAChild Child Killer]]-[[SerialKillerKiller Killer]], and Bakuda's rampage claimed a lot of children.]]

* SaltTheEarth:[[spoiler:When Autobot city is about to be breached Taylor burns the entire place down only leaving nothing but scorched earth and the Autobot insignia projected in the sky.]]
