History Funny / TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye

** WordOfGod is that the creative team were specifically asked to "[[ComicBook/{{Hitman}} pull]] [[ComicBook/{{TheBoys}} an]] [[Creator/{{GarthEnnis}} Ennis]]" with the issue.

* Nickel chewing out the DJD like an angry grandmother, including reprimanding Helex for ''not brushing his teeth''. While she's doing so, one can see [[FunnyBackgroundEvent the Pet trying to hop on Tarn's lap in the background and having to be shoved off]].

* In the immediate aftermath of Rodimus getting teleported before the Guiding Hand, Ratchet notes that regular lightning would've just turned Rodders into a conductor, prompting Swerve to blurt out, "A ''[[IncrediblyLamePun lightning rod]]''!...[-(Why am I like this?)-]

-->'''Swerve''': [[IncrediblyLamePun A "summary execution".]]

* Megatron and Nightbeat's discussion about moles and turncoats, [[spoiler: once it's revealed that Brainstorm is a Decepticon mole]]:

* There a Con named Blip that shows up who apparently sounds ''exactly'' like Megatron. When Whirl meets him, he tries to get Blip to act out an exchange between Optimus and Megatron with him.

--> '''All:''' WE KILL CONS! WE KILL CONS!
--> '''Whirl:''' Whadda we do?!
--> '''All:''' WE KILL CONS!
--> '''Rodimus:''' Can I have your - Hello? is anybody ''listening'' to me?
--> ''(Meanwhile at the back half of the shuttle, characters like Cyclonus, Chromedome, Perceptor and Rewind all sit in complete silence)''
--> '''All:''' WE KILL CONS!
--> '''Rodimus:''' SHUT! UP!

* Also:
-->'''Rodimus''': "Ultra Magnus informs me that running through the Lost Light shouting 'Who's up for a fight?' doesn't ''technically'' qualify as a 'briefing.' "
* On top of that, Tailgate tries to defuse a bomb. Rewind has this to say:
--> '''Rewind:''' "D'you mind if I film this? If I die, I don't want my last recorded footage to be of Whirl punching himself in the face to prove he's 'super-unvincible.'"

--> '''Chromedome''': I'm doing a disservice by calling him a campaigner. He was more of a - Primus, where to start? Scientist, doctor, author, explorer.
--> '''Tailgate''': I hate him.

-->'''Blades:''' You're thinking some kind of plague, aren't you? '''Delphi: Mark 2.''' While we've been away, some really bizarre virus has wiped out all the officers. Killer laughter! Laughter that eats you from inside! And it's infectious! Oh my god, think about it! If you hear someone laugh then you laugh too, and then--No! Stop! Weaponized bacteria! Germs with guns! Little microbes with bombs strapped to their...to their...\\

*** As a bonus, [=MP3=] understandably passes out cold... and we later learn that Spinister unintentionally buried him alive out of a misplaced show of respect. They only figure this out ''thirty minutes later'' when they see a fireman revive an injured woman and they realize that [=MP3=] wasn't actually dead. No hard feelings, fortunately...despite Spinister apparently doing this while MP3 was ''conscious and struggling against being buried alive.''

-->'''Ultra Magnus:''' MUTINY! Everywhere I look, I see rules being ''stretched,'' and laws being ''broken,'' and protocols being ''dragged outside and kicked to death.'' I've made a list: '''one,''' Skids keeps using the maintenance droids for target practice. '''Two,''' Waverider and Sureshot ''insist'' on playing ''hand-grenade tag'' outside my office. '''Three:''' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking the warning signs that Dipstick's put up in the engine rooms are]] ''[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking riddled]]'' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking with misplaced apostrophes.]] '''Four:''' [[ADateWithRosiePalms Sprocket keeps touching his—]]\\

** Tailgate, on the other hand, hosts an "alt-mode party," consisting of himself and several others sitting around in their vehicle modes, which he claims to have been popular in his day (which was also Rung's day). Rung immediately spots a rather significant flaw in the concept.

-->'''Mainframe: ''(whispering)'' Stealth mode engaged.

* In issue 13 we get to see Cyclonus singing. [[TheStoic Cyclonus]]. ''Singing''. Even funnier, he's singing in an ancient, basically dead language. It sounds so horrifying that Swerve, Drift, and Aquafend barge into his and Tailgate's room because they think he's killing Tailgate. It becomes SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming|Moments}} at the end of the issue.

--> '''Skids:''' This isn't Carbonated Engex! This is Weapons Grade Nucleon!
--> '''Whirl:''' ''(Examining his own drink)'' Is it? Well I ''never.''

--> '''Magnus:''' I'm a serious person Swerve! I can't help it! I have only two expressions, and the second is just an angrier version of the first!

* Speaking of Ultra Magnus, his rant about the antics of the crew at the beginning of the issue contains some comedic gold:
-->'''Ultra Magnus:''' "MUTINY! Everywhere I look, I see rules being ''stretched,'' and laws being ''broken,'' and protocols being ''dragged outside and kicked to death.'' I've made a list: '''one,''' Skids keeps using the maintenance droids for target practice. '''Two,''' Waverider and Sureshot ''insist'' on playing ''hand-grenade tag'' outside my office. '''Three:''' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking the warning signs that Dipstick's put up in the engine rooms are]] ''[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking riddled]]'' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking with misplaced apostrophes.]] '''Four:''' [[ADateWithRosiePalms Sprocket keeps touching his—]]"
-->'''Rodimus:''' ''"MAGNUS!"''
** Shortly after this, Rodimus suggests that Magnus needs to relax and unwind...
-->'''Ultra Magnus:''' "That's not even a word. I'd have heard of it."
** And then Rodimus recruits Swerve to help Ultra Magnus chill out a little:
-->'''Rodimus:''' "If anyone can cheer [Magnus] up, you can!"
-->'''Swerve:''' "You say "cheer him up" like it's something ''other'' than a centuries-long undertaking destined to end in madness and suicide."

* The shore leave group realizes they only have twenty minutes to make their shuttle back, and Ultra Magnus is still unconscious. The others get their real bodies to the shuttle and then go back for him in their holomatter forms, planning to trigger his transformation to vehicle mode and drive him through a shortcut through through an organics-only area. How do they plan to do this? Well, when dropping him repeatedly doesn't work, ''they all start jumping up an down on him''-- [[SarcasmMode though, obviously, Whirl had prayed it wouldn't come to that]].

-->'''Rewind:''' "Join me!" says Rodimus. "Help me search for the Knights of Cybertron!" "Explore strange new worlds!" "Seek out new life!" Jump up and down on the Duly Appointed Officer of the Tyrest Accord!"
-->'''Swerve:''' I don't care what happens next: this quest just made the top three...
-->'''Rung:''' Do you think this type of thing happens to Bumblebee and Prowl?
* He indeed transforms to alt-mode - ''upside down''.

* In a meta-example... [[http://youtu.be/OLFEcViAvIQ Hitler reacts]] to Issue 15#, specifically [[spoiler: Rewind's death]].

-->'''Ultra Magnus''' Brainstorm, one more and you're on remand!

* Whirl messing with Rung's eyebrows to make him seem cross.
-->'''Whirl:''' There. I've made him look cross. "Grrr. Don't get my name wrong".

** Ironically it turns out in a later issue that it wasn't Ore... it was Shock who was mashed. So it really wasn't any easier to tell them apart.

*** [[FunnyAneurysmMoment Might become slightly less funny]] ([[CrossesTheLineTwice Or not]]) when you realize that it ''probably was''. They were burning an Autobot corpse. Except it wasn't a corpse.

** Dent [[NamesTheSame used to be named Prowl]], so he changed it to... Dent. This is final proof that they've run out of names.

--> '''Anode''': [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow Takes two, doesn't it?]]

** They try to take off their fake MASK helmets in a show of human solidarity with [=MP3=]; Spinister is ''so'' bad at the whole human-pretense thing that the moment his avatar removes her helmet, there is only ''another helmet'' underneath. Misfire scolds him for a lack of imagination, then takes off his avatar's helmet, only to reveal a ''VideoGame/GarrysMod''-like abomination underneath, with one eye and a tiny nose and mouth situated squarely in the middle of his face. It's nauseatingly UncannyValley.
