History Heartwarming / TransformersAnimated

** The final scene, where the entire crew is being cheered by a huge crowd of Autobots on Cybertron.

* Even though it's made [[BittersweetEnding heavey-hearted]] by the [[HeroicSacrifice fall]] of one of his teammates, the ending of the series has Optimus Prime standing before all of Cybertron, lauding him as a hero. After ''[[EarnYourHappyEnding everything]]'' Team Prime has gone through to get here, there's something all too satisfying about seeing Optimus having become who he was meant to be.

* In the episode "Return of the Headmaster" when Bumblebee and Bulkhead finally ask Sari if she's okay after [[spoiler:she's lost her father and doesn't know if he's alive, had her family's company been taken away from her, been kicked out of the only home she's ever known, had Tutor Bot and Sparkplug confiscated as company property, and to top it off been informed that there is no legal record of her existence]]. Sari explains as much angrily, then bursts into tears. Having seen this before, Bulkhead comments that her eyes are leaking. Bumblebee picks her up and says:

* The reconciliation between Sari and her father [[spoiler:in spirit, at the very least]] at the beginning of Season Three after [[spoiler:he stands up to the Headmaster, who was currently piloting Starscream,]] was just adorable.

** At the end of the series, the reaction Omega Supreme gets when he [[spoiler:reveals himself to the Autobots. He transforms into robot mode and the crowd stops cheering... only to start cheering ''even louder''. Keep in mind that the Supremes were one of the contributing factors to the Autobots winning the Great War, and afterwards everyone had been (falsely) told that Omega had been melted down into scrap]].

* Near the end of "Endgame Pt. 2", it looks like Prime is about to go down with Megatron (Megatron even states that he'll be happy to go down if he can take Optimus with him). Then, just as Megatron is holding Prime up against the Allspark Shield. [[spoiler:A now ghostly Prowl appears to pull Prime out of Megatron's grasp to safety]].
** The final scene, where the entire crew [[spoiler:is being cheered by a huge crowd of Autobots on Cybertron]].

* Anything relating to Arcee is either this or Tearjerker. [[spoiler: Especially when she's rescued by Ratchet and Sari.]]
* A deleted scene at the end of "Endgame" would've had Slipstream [[spoiler:revive Starscream with a piece of her own Allspark fragment]], despite having little practical incentive to do so. Looks like she didn't hate him as much as we thought.
* The intended series finale would've had not only every Autobot ally of Team Prime work with them to protect the Earth from the Decepticons, but also the Dinobots, [[spoiler:Blackarachnia and her Predacons (implying [[{{Forgiveness}} she at least]] [[IAmWhatIAm found closure]] if not having undergone a HeelFaceTurn), and Slipstream and her Decepticons (implying that for all she may be, she still sees the Earth as her home)]].
