* OurClonesAreDifferent:
** In "[[Recap/TransformersPrimeS2E10Armada Armada]]", similarly to the ''Animated'' example, Starscream clones himself several times using protoforms. Unlike the ''Animated'' example, the clones are all completely-identical copies of the original Starscream in looks and personality, without missing a T-cog like the original Starscream. The original Starscream later discovers that a side-effect of the cloning process is that the clones have a one-way mental link to him which causes his own pain receptors to trigger whenever one of the clones is enduring extreme or fatal physical trauma, much to his vexation.
** Later in the series, Shockwave uses a different cloning method for the deceased Predacon leader Predaking, and he sets about cloning more Predacons. Ancient Predacon bones are harvested for the required genetic material, and the clones are grown in tanks of yellow fluid until they're fully-formed adults. They apparently also inherit some fragment memories from their genetic sources, if Predaking's brief flashback to his original self's death before the clone fully understood himself is any indication.

The beasts show up in the form of Japan-only short episodes packaged with TV-Kun magazines, known as "Triple Combination: Transformers, Go!". It is... [[WidgetSeries very Japanese]]. It's unknown where, or if, it's supposed to fit in the ''Prime'' series' timeline.

Depending on the episode certain characters' pupils (most often Bumblebee and Starscream) vary between the camera lens look and being just filled with color.

* {{Permafusion}}: It's mentioned in the show's backstory that the Autobots encountered an off-shoot known as the Mutacons, who had come into contact with the Enigma of Combination and so could combine in almost infinite ways as the situation warranted. While this made them effectively unkillable (as they could adapt to almost any situation), they also realised the Enigma's energies were slowly fusing them into a HiveMind. They were now travelling through space in search of Nexus Prime, the master of the Enigma of Combination, hoping he could arrest their fusion before it became irreversible.

* InexplicablySpeaksFluentAlien: Much like his movie counterpart, Bumblebee had his voicebox irreparably damaged by Megatron. This has limited his speech to nothing but a collection of mechanical beeps and trills. While his fellow autobots have no problem understanding him, humans find him indecipherable. Enter Rafael Esquivel, resident brainy kid and tech expert who has no trouble understanding Bumblebee perfectly right off the bat. No actual explanation is given for this beyond him theorizing it's for the same reason he could understand binary code before he could read. As this was after the whole [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Sari Sumdac]] arc, it led to dozens of fan theories that, sadly, never panned out.
