* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: InUniverse, Optimus and Sentinel both have differing beliefs about Blackarachnia's decision to web herself and the exploding Waspinator.
-->'''Optimus:''' She sacrificed herself to save us.\\
'''Sentinel:''' More like she sacrificed Wasp and used his transwarp field to bug out! Either way, we're rid of them both.



** Wasp finally becomes Waspinator. At the end of the episode, we see him pulling himself together after being blown to pieces, just like his RunningGag in ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''.

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: While Blackarachnia certainly did terrible things for the sake of becoming pure Cybertronian again, she was still a sympathetic figure that Optimus wanted to save, especially after she goes out of her way to leave the antidote to her venom for him as promised, giving Optimus hope that there was still good in her. Here, [[ManipulativeBastard she takes advantage of Wasp]] and uses him as a test subject for a dangerous experiment to see if she can change herself back, not caring if he lives or dies in the process.
-->'''Optimus''': I thought you hated being part organic. Why did you do the same thing to Wasp?\\
'''Blackarachnia''': Isn’t it obvious? If I could change him back, then I can change myself.\\
'''Optimus''': And what if he goes offline in the process, like you almost did?!\\
'''Blackarachnia''': [[LackOfEmpathy Well, that’s the price of science, isn’t it?]]

* ArmorPiercingResponse: Sentinel balks at Blackarachnia claiming to know him.
-->'''Sentinel:''' There is no way I would ever have anything to do with a mutant freak like you.\\
'''Blackarachnia:''' That's not what you said when you dragged me along on your little treasure hunt to a Decepticon warship. You remember. The one with the unstable energon cubes and ''the spiders''!



* HopeSpot: After Bumblebee makes his sincere apology, Wasp does forgive him. ''[[ThatManIsDead Waspinator]]'', however, is a different story.



* IronicEcho: "No 'bot is innocent" is said by Sentinel to Optimus, only for Blackarachnia to later say it to him.
* {{Irony}}: Despite her repeated efforts to cure herself, Blackarachnia finds that Sentinel is more disgusted by her mutation than even she is and says it's not that bad.
* ItsAllMyFault: Optimus tells Blackarachnia to leave Sentinel alone, saying he (Optimus) was the one who left her behind.



* JurisdictionFriction: When cornering Wasp in the city, Optimus and Sentinel argue over who has authority. They're both Primes, but Optimus is supposed to oversee Earth, but Sentinel is next in line after Ultra Magnus. Sentinel insists he is "Primer Prime" in this situation, which Optimus insists is ridiclous.



* NeverMyFault:
** When Blackarachnia reminds him of how the "little treasure hunt" was his idea, Sentinel is quick to change subjects by pointing out that Optimus was the one who left her behind.
** Downplayed with Optimus. He once again notes that he was responsible for what happened to Blackarachnia, but he acknowledges how he never really apologized to Sentinel for forcing him to leave her behind after their falling out.



* StealthInsult:
-->'''Sentinel:''' I was misled by bad intelligence.\\
'''Optimus:''' Huh, that's putting it mildly.



* UnwittingPawn: Wasp is just a guinea pig for Blackarachnia's experiments. ''Waspinator'' is pissed when he finds out.

** Sentinel learning who Blackarachnia deliberately echoes the exchange when [[Recap/TransformersAnimatedS1E07AlongCameASpider Optimus found out]].
--->'''Sentinel:''' Elita-One?\\
'''Blackarachnia:''' It's Blackarachnia now, Sentinel, thanks to you and Optimus.\\
'''Sentinel:''' But I... I thought you went off-line.\\

(Ratchet even silently motions for the others to leave so that Optimus and Sentinel can talk privately.) Jazz does get a couple lines during this scene because Creator/PhilLaMarr also voices Jetstorm.



*** He also mutters that beloved phrase, "Waspinator have plans."



** Sentinel refers to Snarl as "Horn-head," which was Rattrap's frequent nickname for Rhinox.



** Blackarachnia asks Sentinel if he'd really just slag his old friend, Elita-One, to which he angrily replies that she isn't Elita-One; Elita-One went offline on Archa-Seven. [[JerkassHasAPoint He has]] [[YouMonster a point.]]

** Bumblebee and Optimus's personal situations. Both of them have yet to formally apologize to someone they've wronged in the past because they don't believe they have to since it wasn't actually their fault. And sadly, by the time they do apologize, it's too late; both Waspinator and Blackarachnia refuse it. Though Optimus apologizes to Sentinel Optimus realizes this trope is in play when he tells Bumblebee to stop dancing around the problem and just apologize.

** Fix your mistakes and/or resolve your problems while you still can, or else you'll spend the rest of your life regretting it.
** No matter how hard you try, sometimes, you can't save everyone. While you can offer your help, it's up to them to choose whether or not to take it.
* CallBack:
** Blackarachnia is still using the lab on Dinobot Island and manipulating the Dinobots ever since the ending of "Black Friday".
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: When trying to talk to Wasp, Bumblebee sheepishly tries to explain that Longarm tricked him and everyone, explaining it badly enough that it frames Bumblebee as an idiot that refuses to acknowledge his own actions. So of course, Wasp refuses to go with them.
* DownerEnding: Sentinel learns of Elita's fate and reacts [[FantasticRacism as well as]] [[ThatManIsDead you'd expect]], Blackarachnia has mutated Wasp into Waspinator, the both of them reject apologies and redemption, and the two disappear to places unknown, possibly never to be seen again. But at the end, Optimus and Sentinel apologize to each other, though acknowledge that the damage is already done.

** At the end, Blackarachnia says "YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe" upon seeing a giant gorilla, cheetah, rat, and rhino staring at her.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Sentinel saying that they'll have Wasp arrested ''despite him being innocent and now knowing Shockwave is the spy'' because he's a menace instead of handling it reasonably like Optimus only further alienates Wasp.
* RejectedApology: Waspinator says that while Wasp would've forgiven Bumblebee, Waspinator ''doesn't''.
