Drop The Hammer is now a disambiguation page.


* DropTheHammer:
** Breakdown's hands turn into hammers as weapons.
** Solus Prime, of the thirteen original Transformers, can be seen using a massive hammer in a {{Flashback}} in [[Recap/TransformersPrimeS1E24OneShallRisePart1 "One Shall Rise, Part 1"]]. The hammer was later found in "Operation Bumblebee, Part 2" and referred to as the Forge of Solus Prime. Bulkhead proved it can pack quite a punch but it's usefulness as a straight weapon is insignificant to its other ability; creating virtually anything from raw materials.

removing outdated Five Man Band tree, dewicking The Chick


* FiveManBand: The Autobots and their human allies fall into this:
** TheLeader: Optimus Prime (naturally). Jack among the humans, to the point of being [[spoiler:kind of an "honorary Prime"]].
** TheLancer: Arcee. Decidedly ''not'' TheChick this time around, she's brusquer and more quick to violence than Optimus. Similarly, Miko to Jack.
** TheBigGuy: Bulkhead/Agent Fowler.
** TheSmartGuy: Ratchet/Raf.
** TheChick: Bumblebee/June. In Bumblebee's case, he's the youngest and most laid-back of the Autobots, while in June's case, she takes to looking after the other humans when the Autobot's can't (including a brief but embarrassing stint as TeamMom).

Added DiffLines:

* TheEchoer: Soundwave in the show is portrayed as a mute, only "speaking" by playing back recordings of other Decepticons if he needs to make a point. This is not to say that he is incapable of speech, but [[ElectiveMute he's deliberately chosen]] ''[[ElectiveMute not]]'' [[ElectiveMute to]] due to taking a vow of silence.
-->'''Starscream:''' I have tried ''every'' interrogation technique, and nothing is working! I would just eliminate [Arcee and Cliffjumper], but the code they carry is too valuable! If only I could break them open and just take it!
-->''*Soundwave points to their war-torn planet, Cybertron*''
-->'''Starscream:''' No, I will ''not'' take the prisoners to the surface! Why should I let [Shockwave] have all the glory?
-->'''Soundwave:''' ''*playing back Starscream's voice*'' '''"The code they carry is too valuable!"'''

* DubInducedPlotHole: The Japanese version renames the Star Saber to the Matrix Saber with the From the Cybertron Satellite, Transformers Division and Arms Micron Theater segments of ''Legacy'' claiming that it's the one included with the Arms Micron Optimus Prime toy. The only thing is that the Matrix Saber is a combination of the Matrix of Leadership which Optimus carries and R.A. (Ratchet's Arms Micron) whereas the Star Saber has been on Earth for millions of years.

* DelegationRelay: Arcee, you're in charge... Bulkhead, you're in charge... Jack, you're in charge... Raf, you're in charge.

to:

* DelegationRelay: Arcee, you're Darkness Rising Part 3, Optimus and Ratchet go off for some recon into the latest Decepticon plot, Optimus leaves Arcee in charge... Bulkhead, you're charge. Arcee immediately decides that, because she's in charge... Jack, you're charge, she can assign herself and Bumblebee to go on a patrol (at least partly to get away from being responsible for the human kids), leaving Bulkhead in charge... Raf, you're charge. Then Fowler sends up a distress signal, and Bulkhead has to go rescue him, leaving Jack in charge, unaware that Miko followed him through the ground bridge. Raf realizes the ground bridge's coordinates are still locked in, so Jack heads out to get Miko out of trouble, leaving Raf in charge.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Pretty much established within the first ''ten minutes'' of the series, with the savage perma-murder of Cliffjumper. It doesn't get any LighterAndSofter from there, dabbling in themes of terrorism, child mortality, and PTSD. Also, unlike the previous incarnations of the series, Cybertron is completely wartorn and barren after a lifetime of constant war.

* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: Despite the [=TV-Y7FV=] rating, there are several instances of explicit robot violence. In fact, the sole reason the series is rated [=TV-Y7FV=] with all this violence is because these are robots, which serves as an example of GettingCrapPastTheRadar.
