* TheCavalryArrivesLate: While Cheetor went after the stasis pod, Tigatron tried to get within in range of the Maximal Base to alert the others to the situation. He is gets taken out by Blackarachnia before then, meaning Rhinox and Cheetor won't be getting any back-up anytime soon. By the time the adventure is over and everyone is back at base, Rhinox jokingly notes that Optimus was late for the action this time.
* GreaterNeedThanMine: The first order of business is replacing the damaged locking chip, and Cheetor volunteers his. When Rhinox explains the increased danger of energon exposure, Cheetor says the protoform needs the chip more and that Rhinox is needed to make the remaining repairs.

* RaceAgainstTheClock: Upon arriving on the scene, Rhinox learns he only has 8.3 cycles to save the protoform. With Cheetor's help, he quickly gets to work and performs a locking chip transfer, which buys a little extra time but not much. When Cheetor suggests taking the pod back to base rather than try to finish repairs out in the field, Rhinox says there simply isn't enough time for such a trek, even with stasis lock restored.

* WorfHadTheFlu: Cheetor's effectiveness in battle is hampered by giving up his locking chip for the new protoform. Without it, he can only stay in robot mode briefly. Rhinox also has to reroute some of the damage stasis pod's functions through his own circuitry in order to run the DNA scanning program, which damages him and forces him into beast mode unable to fight.
** Rhinox was hampered even before that; he was only able to stay in robot mode for so long to repair the pod by diverting power from his weapons to his field dampers, with the implication being that he wouldn't be able to defend himself if he was attacked before Cheetor arrived.

* ChekhovsGunman: In the beginning of the episode, a falcon is in the same tree as Cheetor, and it is shown to follow him when he heads for the pod. Right when all seems lost, it gets to the pod in time to be scanned.
