History Fanfic / WormMoreThanMeetsTheEye

** [[spoiler: Hookwolf has a man kill his brother to prove that he wasn't a snitch. The brother was a back-alley-doctor for the Empire. Kaiser calls him out on this]].

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler: In 16-1, Taylor and the Autobots break up a human trafficking operation the Empire was running]].

* SeenItAll: Most of the more experienced capes have this mentality.

* TheShrink: Rung acts as a counselor to Danny, Taylor and Amy.

** Treble. Who thinks that taunting Hookwolf is a good idea. Also a case of AlcoholInducedStupidity.

* TheCorrupter: The "Red Text Voice" being. What it is is unknown (though it is mostly thought to be either Shard conflict influence or Unicron), but what it does is it speaks to capes subconsciously, implanting thoughts that nudge them into a worse headspace, and make them do bad things. Coil is urged to push his plan to greater heights, [[spoiler: Josie]] is pushed into obsessing over vengeance for [[spoiler: Saint's]] death, [[spoiler: Alexandria is encouraged to keep sacrificing her morality for the sake of the 'greater good', Eidolon has his insecurities about his power reinforced, Legend gets told that the others think of him as naive but ignores it, and what it did to Contessa is unknown, but she's basically a puppet for the Voice by now.]]

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: Multiplayer a cape working with Uber and Leet with MesACrowd powers [[spoiler: turns out to be Spree of the Teeth.]]
* CastFromHitPoints: Overusing her power can take a toll on Taylor's health. Sparking Predaqueen from a Dragon suit would have killed her had Panacea not been on the scene.

* CombiningMecha: Defensor and the Protectobots.

* DivineIntervention: Taylor gets her powers from Primus himself.

* {{Fembot}}: Windblade, Arcee and Predaqueen all identify as female, especially the latter when [[spoiler: she becomes Dragon's main body]].

** [[spoiler:Windblade and Wheeljack are mortally wounded during Leviathan's attack on the bay. As of the time of this writing, they're still alive, but fading fast]].

*** [[spoiler: The next chapter has Windblade and Wheeljack hooked up to Taylor, and more stable, with Amy doing something to boost their sparks, but Krieg is confirmed to be dead]].

* SpiritAdvisor: Primus acts as one as either a subconscious whisper or appearing in dreams.
* TheStarscream: Oddly for this sort of crossover, not ''the'' Starscream (WordOfGod confirms he won't be appearing); Bakuda joined the ABB with full intent on killing the leadership and taking the helm, only for Lung to be too powerful to usurp. [[spoiler: She does eventually succeed though.]]

* IShouldHaveBeenBetter: Taylor's thoughts after the Merchant raid, where Vista got badly shot up. [[spoiler: Primus gives her powers a boost.]]

** Rachel Lindt/Bitch is burned alive by Lung in their first encounter, resulting in the Undersiders fragmenting.

** In canon Krieg survives the fight against Leviathan, here he doesn’t.
** [[spoiler:Mama Mathers get her skull crushed by Predaqueen in 15.6]].

** Garrison Blackrock, the head of Onyx R&D, a company that revolves around reverse-engineering of Tinker-Tech, though he's still fairly affable. [[spoiler: He works with the Dragonslayers and leaked information to Valefor in the hopes of getting the latter killed despite the potential collateral damage]].

** [[spoiler: The next chapter has Windblade and Wheeljack hooked up to Taylor, and more stable, with Amy doing something to boost their sparks, but Krieg is confirmed to be dead]].
** [[spoiler: Mama Mathers gets her skull crushed in a raid on the Fallen]].

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Confirmed to be why Regent abandoned Bitch. [[FreudianExcuse His nasty upbringing by Heartbreaker trained him to believe that it was every man for himself]] and so when Lung, an opponent the Undersiders couldn't possibly face, showed up, he basically put the 'I don't have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun ''you''' joke in practice. He tripped up Matrix (who was trying to help them) in order to escape, thinking that Grue and Tattletale would be doing the same thing. Instead, they saw what he'd done as betrayal of the team, and when he came back, made it very clear that he was unwelcome.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Victoria lays into her mum for not loving Amy more, since the reason she was at the hospital and healing everyone so much was an attempt to gain her approval. [[spoiler:And as a result, she was inside when Bakuda blew it up.]]

** [[spoiler: After Mama Mather's death, Valefor loses almost all of any semblance of sanity that he had, committing a number of atrocities across the world, like portaling a horde of Nilbog's monsters into a town]].

** The Fallen are using a Teleporter that uses a bullroarer the Dragon names [[http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Gateway_(Earth-616) Gateway]].

* DeathByAdaptation: Rachel Lindt/Bitch is burned alive by Lung in their first encounter, resulting in the Undersiders fragmenting.

* {{Expy}}
** This is typically how the author creates [=OCs=] when they are needed.

* AWizardDidIt: [[spoiler: Victoria's explanation for how Amy's suddenly boosting sparks? "Powers are bullshit". Ratchet finds that he can't really argue, to his dismay.]]
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: [[spoiler: In a presumably Matrix induced dream, Solus Prime reminds Amy that she chose to use her powers for good]].
