* CleanUpCrew: Ravage is a one-'bot clean up crew. He gets in good with the Maximals for the sake of capturing Megatron, but it's clear that he's been ordered to ensure that no one on either side gets back to Cybertron.
** Ahead of the attack on the Maximal Base, Optimus expects Megatron to do something desperate. When Cheetor asks if it's taking hostages, Optimus admits he's praying that's as far as it goes. He later has a very good idea what Blackarachnia's destination is.
** Silverbolt hesitates when Optimus orders him to stop Blackarachnia. He is reprimanded at the start of the next part for the secret relationship and confined to quarters for his behavior.
* FreudianTrio: The Tripredacus Council. Cicadacon is the Id, being outraged about Megatron's continued interference and angrily wanting him dealt with if for no other reason than for all the trouble he's caused. Sea Clamp is the Superego, logically stating the facts of the matter and arranging all the necessary details for Ravage's mission. Ram Horn is the Ego, fully agreeing with his fellow generals but balancing them out by maintaining focus on their goal of conquering Cybertron.

* HellYesMoment: Most of the Maximals when Rhinox confirms at what time the transwarp wave will reach Cybertron. Only Silverbolt remains calm about the whole thing, due to not knowing the place himself.
* MetaphoricallyTrue: Ravage simply tells the Maximals that the Tripredacus Council would prefer to handle this situation discreetly. He's absolutely right about that; he's just lying about why the transwarp wave didn't make contact with Cybertron and what [[LeaveNoWitnesses the true endgame]] is for both sides of the Beast Wars.

* RiddleForTheAges: Megatron stealing the Golden Disk immediately prior to the first episode left the Predacon Alliance facing some serious blowback from Maximal leadership on Cybertron. It's not stated what the exact repercussions were, but Cicadacon suggests it was very costly to the Predacons.
