* BewareTheSillyOnes: To Ultra Magnus, Miko is merely a "native" that, while he respects as a sentient being, seems like she'll be more of a liability than a help. He is proven ''completely'' wrong when she gets the Apex Armor and beats the Energon out of Starscream and the two Vehicons. The looks on the Wreckers' faces says it all.


Added DiffLines:

* NotSoAboveItAll: Ultra Magnus seems to view the humans as more of a liability than an asset (much like how Ratchet saw them early in season one). However, he's willing to give Miko an important job when the mission goes south (climbing out of the cave to call in reinforcements) and is visibly impressed when she beats up Starscream and the Vehicons with the Apex Armor. He even admits that she's truly a Wrecker.


Added DiffLines:

* OhCrap: Starscream when he realizes that Miko is not only alive in the armor, but that she's about to kick his tailpipe.

* TheReveal: While it was established Wheeljack left the Wreckers while Ultra Magnus was first in charge, it turns out Bulkhead transferred to Optimus' team long before that. Bulk feels like he abandoned Jack and, despite fighting like old times, Magnus' return reopened old wounds.

* TheWorfEffect: The Predaking once more proves its worth when not even the Apex Armor can take him on. Both Starscream and Miko aren't hurt thanks to the armor, but they do get thrown around a bit while wearing it.

Both Starscream and Miko aren't hurt thanks to the armor, but they do get thrown around a bit while wearing it. Once he's gone, however, Miko makes quick work of Starscream and his cohorts.

* DeathByLookingUp: Accidentally invoked by Wheeljack. He gains one Decepticon's attention but takes it down quickly.



* DownerEnding: The Autobots manage to get the Apex Armor, but otherwise they fail to the Decepticons from acquiring a Predacon fossil. Wheeljack also goes solo again.

* TheWorfEffecf: WhatTheHellHero: As much as a jerk Ultra Magnus is said to be, he tells Wheeljack how reckless it was to use an explosive in a confine space, even if Jackie meant to toss the grenade into the Predaking's mouth.

* ExactWords: Ultra Magnus isn't very happy that Wheeljack brought a human like Miko on a dangerous mission. Jackie counters that when Optimus ordered the Wreckers join him, it would include an "honorary" one like her. Jackie, and eventually Bulkhead, vouch for her, though Magnus still isn't impressed yet.



* {{Flashback}}: A quick one showing how Miko was brought along.

* ArcWords: "...Before the rust sets in". Wheeljack used these words against Ultra Magnus twice because he felt the latter's command contradicts how the Wreckers usually operate.

Added DiffLines:

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Upset about him and Shockwave being CoDragons, Starscream had been itching to assert his authority on all military matters. Here, Starscream is told by Megatron that Predaking (the beast that only defers to Shockwave and clearly hates 'Screamer) is his responsibility.
* BerserkButton: Once Miko is out alone and in danger, Bulkhead is done trying to mediate things between Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus.


Added DiffLines:

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Averted. Starscream [[Recap/TransformersPrimeS1E19RockBottom remembers learning]] Miko's name.


Added DiffLines:

* DidntSeeThatComing: Bulkhead and especially Ultra Magnus over Miko being hidden in Wheeljack's chest cavity.
* DownerEnding: The Autobots manage to get the Apex Armor, but otherwise they fail to the Decepticons from acquiring a Predacon fossil. Wheeljack also goes solo again.
-->'''Bulkhead:''' Jackie just broke up the band.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Bulkhead admits he sometimes thinks Wheeljack has a little resentment over him leaving the Wreckers to serve under Optimus. The next episode reveals that's actually what Wheeljack's bad attitude here is stemming from rather than his frustration with Ultra Magnus.


Added DiffLines:

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Bulkhead and Wheeljack observe a Vehicon guard checking the cave entrance but not looking up. Per Wheeljack, this happens so often that the Wreckers consider it #17 on their list of facts. Bulkhead accidentally dislodged a couple rocks, which do get the guard's attention shortly before Wheeljack skewers him.


Added DiffLines:

* NoodleIncident: Bulkhead had transferred out of the Wreckers in time to fight alongside Optimus at the Battle of Thunderhead Pass. Wheeljack, meanwhile, deserted the Wreckers outright rather than serve under Ultra Magnus.


Added DiffLines:

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus constantly, with poor Bulkhead caught in the middle.
