* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** In response to complaints of ItsShortSoItSucks for ''WebAnimation/TheTransformersCombinerWars'', the new series has been announced to be twice as long.
** There were complaints about the use of Website/YouTube users for the cast, so the new series has announced Creator/PeterCullen, Creator/JuddNelson, Creator/WilWheaton, Creator/NolanNorth, Creator/MichaelDorn and Creator/JasonDavidFrank as part of the cast.
** Less advertising has been given to the series, in order to prevent it from being over-hyped.
** The previous series was infamous for [[InNameOnly barely featuring the combiners in its title]]. This series gives lots of screentime to the three Titans, and includes a subplot with the combiners as a bonus.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Considering this was a Hasbro-sanctioned outing, Fortress Maximus [[spoiler:breaking out ''the Master Sword'']] in the last episode caught half the fans off guard.[[note]]Though this may have been foreshadowed by a convention-exclusive Fortress Maximus toy coming with that very weapon.[[/note]]

* HilariousInHindsight: Octane's original toy bio states that he can't be trusted any further than Megatron can throw Devastator. Come ''WebAnimation/TheTransformersTitansReturn'', and Megatron nigh-effortlessly [[CueTheFlyingPigs throws Devastator on]] ''[[CueTheFlyingPigs massive]]'' [[CueTheFlyingPigs distance]]. Consequently, the original bio now sounds like Octane is one of the most trusted Decepticons around.

* {{Asspull}}: There is zero foreshadowing to [[spoiler:Megatronus' arrival]], and ends up becoming a DiabolusExMachina.



** The previous series was infamous for [[InNameOnly barely featuring the combiners in its title]]. This series gives lots of screentime to the three Titans, and includes a subplot with the combiners as a bonus.



* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: While this series is a step up from its predecessor in that the titular Titans are much more prominent and integrated into the story compared to how OutOfFocus the combiners were, the other aspects of the Titans Return toyline are pretty much ignored. There is only one Titan Master who never turns into a head (despite having Cerebros' face on his back) and the [[LosingYourHead Headmaster elements]] of characters with compatible toys are never addressed.
* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: As per usual, Creator/PeterCullen as Optimus Prime gives it his all.

** Starscream being trapped inside of Trypticon feels like the setup for an EnemyWithin scenario, but instead this plot point [[spoiler:only gets a few brief nods before Starscream exits of his own accord after Trypticon drops dead]]. It wouldn't have been much different if Starscream had been left out of the story.
** At the end of episode 9, [[spoiler:Trypticon eats the Matrix and seems to become even more powerful than ever]]... and then [[CliffhangerCopout this is thrown out of the window in the next episode]] as [[spoiler:Trypticon just drops dead]].

As per usual, Creator/PeterCullen as Optimus Prime gives it his all.all.
** Michael Dorn does a pretty good job as Fortress Maximus, with many citing his performance as a positive for the series.
