[[caption-width-right:350:You let'em leak as much as you need to. We're here, and you're safe. So whatever it is, you can always talk to us. We'll listen.]]

* Human!Prowl playing peek-a-boo with a baby in "Human Error, Part 1." It's brief, but very cute.

* Anything relating to Arcee is either this or Tearjerker. [[spoiler: Especially when she's rescued by Ratchet and Sari.]]

* No love for Prowl saving the Dinobots from being melted down? He's also the most patient with them and always insists on talking when they're acting aggressively. Kudos to Bulkhead helping him save them, too.

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

--> '''Sari''': (''now crying happy tears'') No, it's Detroit.

* Sari crying tears of joy and giving the newly revived Optimus a hug at the end of "Transform and Roll Out".

* 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]].

* Ratchet awallowing his pride and apologizing to Wreck-Gar for calling him names earlier. Then giving the confused bot a heartfelt speech, convincing him to become a hero.

* 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:

* Don't you dare forget this exchange between Optimus Prime and Sari. (at the very end of the series no less, a definite show of how their relationship has changed)

* Near the end of "Endgame Pt. 2", it looks like Prime is about to go out with Megatron (Megatron even states that he'll be happy to go out 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 safty]].

* Near the end of "Endgame Pt. 2", it looks like Prime is about to go out with Megatron (Megatron even states that he'll be happy to go out 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 safty]].

* Human!Prowl playing peek-a-boo with a baby in "Human Error, Part 1." It's brief, but very cute.

* 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 fluff.

* The [[spoiler:mind-controlled]] human Prowl playing peek-a-boo with a baby in "Human Error, Part 1." It's brief, but very cute.

** 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 (falsly) told that Omega had been melted down into scrap]].

-->'''Sari:''' (sheepishly) Oh. Sorry.

* 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 fluff.

--->'''Omega Supreme''': I am Omega Supreme. I am yours to command. I am your pupil. Your dependent. Your obedient servant.
--->'''Ratchet''': I am Ratchet. I am...your friend.

--->'''Sari:''' I know, I know. It's too dangerous. It's always too dangerous.
--->'''Optimus Prime:''' I was ''going'' to say, it's more important for you to protect your father and your fellow organics.
--->'''Sari:''' (sheepishly) Oh. Sorry.
