* ShooOutTheClowns: While [[BigBad he]], [[TheDragon Dinobot II]], and [[TheBrute Rampage]] pursue [[EvilGenius Tarantulas's]] posthumous agenda, Megatron forms a GoldfishPoopGang of [[ButtMonkey Waspinator]], [[CantCatchUp Inferno]], and [[TheWorfBarrage Quickstrike]] and dispenses them to secure a new Predacon base. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Waspinator deserts]], and the other two geniuses are [[EpicFail seemingly routed by primitive humans wielding sticks fused to stones]]. To crown the humiliation, this ends up being a superfluous venture when it becomes apparent what exactly the fallen spider uncovered. A steep fall from grace for Inferno in particular, who started out as fearsome as Rampage.

* KilledOffForReal: Depth Charge and Rampage are definitely dead; scrap heap "terminated". It's notably the only time a Maximal kills a Predacon.

It's notably the only time a Maximal kills a Predacon.Predacon (Terrorsaur and Scorponok were basically an accident, Ravage was more collateral damage in the destruction of his ship, the Vok were essentially responsible for Tarantulas's death, and Megatron is responsible for the deaths of Inferno, Quickstrike and Dinobot II in the next episode)

* SeriesContinuityError: ''Nemesis'' is shown having crashed in ancient Earth's oceans, yet "Microbots" had previously established it had crashed in what became South America. However, this gets subverted after the next episode reveals it ''wasn't'' an error.

However, this gets subverted after the next episode reveals it ''wasn't'' what seems an error. error here is actually part of a time loop.

* SadlyMythtaken: Megatron states that the Nemesis was the ship that shot down the Ark. however, in [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers the cartoon]], both ships crashed because [[WhoIsDriving no-one was at the controls]], while in [[ComicBook/TheTransformersMarvel the comics]], Prime deliberately crashed the Ark in a HeroicSacrifice to take out the Decepticon leadership.

Justified, as the cartoon is supposed to have a mythological [=G1=] past.

* SpaceAgeStasis: An oddly straight example considering the other advancements in Cybertronian technology the show has shown (time travel/stasis pods/CR Chambers). The ''Nemesis'' is outright referred to as the most powerful Decepticon warship in Cybertronian history and despite having been built in the "present" would have been able to conquer 24th century Cybertron that exists 4 million years later. it might be FridgeBrilliance as the ''Nemesis'' was powered by the ultra-powerful "Heart of Cybertron" which turned G1 Megatron into a PhysicalGod. It's also possible that in a Cybertron that has barely recuperated from the Great War, such ships are LostTechnology.

* AmbiguousSyntax: Megatron's description of Tarantulas as "Unicron's spawn" can either be interpreted as a [[HoldYourHippogriffs Cybertronian insult]] or a literal description. The original writers intended the former, but fans and subsequent writers have made the latter canon.
