2* Jhiaxus on Monstructor's insanity:
3--> "'''THAT IS NOT A WEAKNESS!'''"

6* Sky-Byte and Jazz doing a ''musical poetry slam'' at Maccadam's Old Oil House.

9!!Annual
10* For context: Blurr, searching for Ironhide and the Dinobots, has just run into an explosion.
11--> '''Starscream''': ''Ha!'' I ''said'' that! Right before he left, I ''literally'' said that the only way that ''idiot'' could find ''anything'' is if it ''exploded'' in his ''face''! Now ''look'' at that! ''Ha ha!'' I was just ''kidding'', but ''look''-\
12'''Metalhawk''': Starscream.\
13'''Starscream''': What-? Oh you want to ''help''. Fine.
14* There's a great shout-out to sister series MTMTE when Wheeljack expresses the danger of the crashed Metrotitan by explaining it's a 0.6 on a scale from "Reasonable to Brainstorm''. 0.6 Brainstorms apparently involves turning an entire solar system into a black hole of death.
15* Nova Prime and his cohorts introduce themselves via an {{Introdump}} based after those in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMarvel'', complete with old-school art and coloration techniques. ''[[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:PrimusAllGoodThings-introdump.jpg It is glorious.]]''

18!!Issue #18
19* Everyone's been exiled from the city, and the Autobots realize the Constructicons are following them. They prepare for attack, the Dinobots jump the Constructicons and Prowl realizes things have just gotten really out of hand. Then-
20-->'''Prowl''': Wait, '''wait''', this isn't right. Everybody, ''stop''. Constructicons, what do you ''want''?\
21'''Hook''': We want to be on your side.\
22'''Prowl''': '''What?!''' You want to be ''Autobots''?\
23'''Hook''': Not Autobots. You.\
24'''Prowl''': ...
25** It's really Prowl's absolute shock that [[http://acupfullofsynthen.tumblr.com/post/52236955244/prowls-got-some-fanboys sells it]].

27!!Issue #28
28* [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:HelloCruelWorld_thundercracker_screenwriter.jpg Thundercracker's screenplay.]] Suffice it to say it's coherent, but [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife reads like he's been spending time on TV Tropes without quite understanding what he's looking at.]]
29--> ''Susan approaches the HOSPITAL and JOSH BOYFRIEND, a male Earth human who is handsome like an F-22 jet fighter, greets her.''\
30'''JOSH BOYFRIEND''': Hello, Susan! You must be the new nurse. Welcome to this hospital — you will fit right in with the rest of us humans from here on Earth.

32!!Issue #29
33* Admittedly somewhat BlackHumour, but in the flashback Soundwave convinces the EDC that Galvatron taking charge [[BlatantLies has changed the Decepticons from a warlike force to one wanting peace]] - after Galvatron has spent the majority of the meeting having to be stopped by Soundwave from [[ObviouslyEvil insulting them and threatening to annihilate them]]. Even more entertaining is the fact that Galvy [[TeethClenchedTeamwork could not POSSIBLY look more disgusted]] as Soundwave paints him as a 'former of peace.
34* This golden exchange between Blitzwing and Brawl:
35--> '''Blitzwing:''' '''Attention terrorists!''' Step outside of your '''vehicles''' with your hands in the air, or we, the '''Army of the United Steaks of America'''—
36--> '''Brawl:''' States!
37--> '''Blitzwing:''' —whatever, we'll have to '''blast''' you to the '''Afterspark'''!

39!!Issue #30
40* Apparently Galvatron calls Astrotrain "spacebus". Even funnier, he ''knows'' Astrotrain's actual name. He just doesn't care.
41
42!!Issue #31
43* After having the Mind Bomb used on him after a battle with the Autobots gets out of hand, a very pissed off Galvatron confronts the device's operator and tells him if it gets used on him again, he'll kill everyone in the poor guy's home state of New Mexico. And the old Mexico, just to be sure. His grasp of Earth geography clearly equals his grasp of peace...
44

46!!Issue #33
47 * Starscream getting to be in charge of Cybertron is a very meta, franchise-scale point of humor. For extra points, one panel points out that he "isn't loving it".
48
49!!Issue #35
50* On the subject of Starscream's rulership of Cybertron and being the "Chosen One", Galvatron at one point grumbles that the originator of that particular prophecy, [[spoiler: Alchemist Prime]] was tripping on twelve drams of ''rancid'' Energon when he thought the "prophecy" up, which suggests it's all complete and utter nonsense.
51
52!! Issue 36
53* Soundwave mistaking Thundercracker's pet dog Buster for a pest and [[TheComicallySerious immediately getting the meeting off to the worst possible start]] [[ShootTheDog by offering to kill it.]]
54* At one point Jimmy shows Spike a selfie of himself, Hunter and Verity (from the ''Infiltration'' miniseries) - along with Prowl, who has the most baffled look possible on his face.
55* Spike and Jimmy anger a pedestrian while fleeing from Prowl.
56-->'''Random Bystander:''' Idiot Americans!
57-->'''Jimmy:''' I'm from Canada!
58-->'''Spike:''' You're from ''Portland!''
59-->'''Jimmy:''' ''Shh!'' They don't know that. People hate us enough without going all ''blues''...
60* Jimmy meets Arcee.
61-->'''Jimmy:''' Hey— ahem—hey, there. I couldn't help but notice you're pink. Well, as it happens, my name is—
62-->'''Arcee''' Shut it, human.
63
64!!Issue 37
65* [[EvilVersusEvil The Decepticons and Constructicons face off]], with Arcee caught in the middle. For a moment it looks like she'll help her nominal allies, the Constructicons - then remembers the whole mess has nothing to do with her and leaves them to beat each other senseless.
66* Jimmy tries playing SixDegreesOfKevinBacon with Blitzwing, Scoop and the Cassettes. None of them understand it.
67* [[AbhorrentAdmirer Blackrock]] admitting that his sounding like a James Bond supervillain in showing off his technology and schemes was his attempt to impress Marissa and Ayana. Both are a bit freaked out.
68
69!!Issue 38
70* In the middle of a raging battle between [[EvilVersusEvil the Decepticons and Devastator]], the giant seizes Galvatron and lobs him over the horizon. One would expect Galvatron to rant and rage at the indignity; instead, once he's managed to stop himself falling, [[SeenItAll he merely comments that Devastator has a hell of a throwing arm]] and speeds back to the battle.
71
72!!Issue 42
73* When Arcee complains about Galvatron bringing Astrotrain to their meeting (as his shuttle mode is a useful transport) Galvatron immediately and casually offers to kill him, to Astrotrain's obvious shock.
74* Later, Galvatron bemoans the state of the Decepticons' research abilities, pointing to Astrotrain screaming in panic as he sees a giant bug.
75
76!!Issue 43
77* Laserbeak and Buzzsaw's Statler and Waldorf routine throughout the issue gets some great lines, particularly at Brawl's expense.
78
79!!Issue 50
80* Galvatron's wonderfully Snarky line to Blackrock failing to protect his troops from the EDC's Mind Bomb as his disabled troops lie scattered around him.
81--> '''Galvatron:''' [[SarcasmMode Wonderful job, Blackrock. Couldn't have done it better myself.]]
82
83!!Issue 51
84* The President's completely unfazed reaction to Aileron showing up on the White House lawn and demanding they discuss the terms of humanity's surrender.
85--> '''President:''' [[SeenItAll Huh. I didn't know that happened in real life.]]
86* Sunstreaker's lame jokes about things getting "out of hand" after Optimus gets his arm blown off by the EDC.
87
88!!Issue 52
89* Astrotrain continuing to try Galvatron's patience as he ferries him to a meeting with Arcee inside a volcano.
90--> '''Astrotrain:''' Gah...Now I got volcanic ash in my intakes...Just had 'em cleaned too.
91--> '''Galvatron:''' [[SarcasmMode You shall be honored for your noble sacrifice, Astrotrain.]]
92--> '''Astrotrain:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint What?]]
93--> '''Galvatron:''' [[SurroundedByIdiots Stop whining and pick me up when I call for you.]]
94
95!!Issue 53
96* Arcee offhandedly revealing to Soundwave that Alpha Trion is also a Prime. Soundwave's DoubleTake sells it.
97* Sunstreaker telling Arcee that Sideswipe used to write to him with stories of her. When Arcee questions that Sideswipe even knew how to write, Sunstreaker admits he sent videos.
98
99!!Revolution One-Shot
100* Thundercracker's rescuing a bunch of humans from a burning building - one, not exactly filled with confidence at the fact Thundercracker is working on his screenplay/calling Optimus, tells him not to drop his son, while another has a mild FreakOut when he sees Buster in Thundercracker's chest/cockpit, convinced that the Seeker ate it.
101** The implication in the same conversation that Optimus is deliberately keeping Thundercracker out the way so he doesn't have to listen to said screenplay.
102* Thundercracker not recognising Marissa's voice when she calls to beg for his help (though it's implied he's being a {{Troll}} about it).
103* The President's sheer frustration with the situation, raging that "Taft never had to deal with this crap".
104** Later, as the White House is utterly wrecked by the battle, she bemoans that she won't get the House's security deposit back at the next election.
105* At one point, Thundercracker sics Bob (a tame Insecticon) on a Dire Wraith. Everyone is appalled by the Dire Wraith subsequently getting torn to shreds - apart from one Secret Service guy who asks where he can adopt one.
106* Thundercracker's calm and professional assessment of the situation involves storming into the Situation Room and blasting every alien in sight.
107* The final battle, which Thundercracker wins pretty much by accident. And he messes up his BondOneLiner too.
108-->'''Thundercracker:''' Hey, watch out, that's where I keep the ammo. That burning arm.\
109'''Dire Wraith:''' You mechanical ogre, I'll - [[OhCrap ammo?]]\
110''[[StuffBlowingUp WHOOOM]]''
111* Any reference to his wonderfully awful screenplay throughout.
112
113!! Optimus Prime #1
114* A subtle one, but at one point the President of the United States points out that as head of one nation she can't speak for the entire world. Then a massive alien ship is detected approaching Earth, projected to land in the Alps, and Prime respectfully asks her permission to go deal with it - proving that, as the Alps are in Europe and the US has no authority over sovereign states there, Optimus either hasn't been listening to her, hasn't understood what she's saying, or just doesn't care.
115* The ID panels are rather meta, painting Jazz as the "trying to be laid-back one" and Arcee as the "used to being angry one".
116
117!!Optimus Prime #2
118* The ID panel gag continues, noting Arcee as "Not Sure About This Plan" as Victorion combines to face the incoming ship.
119* Wreck-Gar is pretty much bang on his ''The Transformers: The Movie'' characterisation, talking entirely in TV slang throughout. Of special note is his [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction laughing off being reduced to a head]] after being blasted to bits by G.I. Joe.
120* Thundercracker hanging out at the Sphinx, identifying it as "some old...cat thing."
121** He's also got Transformers-sized sunglasses especially for the occasion.
122
123!!2018 annual
124* The solicits alone let the readers know what they're in for: "Starscream: The Movie", written by... ''Thundercracker''. Uh-oh.
125** How the solicits describe the situation to begin with:
126-->''Will Thundercracker stand by his principles or... well, no. He makes the movie.''
127* Skywarp's belief that Starscream had him and Thundercracker rebuilt into identical bodies to confuse the taxpayers Starscream had ripped off as senator.
128* Thundercracker manages to make an attempt at ''his own assassination'' into a darkly hilarious event by getting so stuck in his writer mentality that he keeps thinking of one-liners to use as he's clubbing one assailant in the face with the other's legs.
129
130!!Optimus Prime #20
131* Jetfire comes across the result of Arcee versus the Maximals. In the background, it's possible to see a still alive Heinrad and Stampy running for their lives (Heinrad's even carrying his accessories). In fact, the two of them are the ''only'' survivors, come to think of it.
132
133!!Optimus Prime #21
134* Aileron's takeaway of [[spoiler:Shockwave]] holding Jetfire at gunpoint and demanding his aid:
135-->'''Aileron:''' Jetfire - don't ''trust'' him. I don't think he's ''trustworthy''.
136-->'''Jetfire:''' I ''know'' that, Aileron. That's what my indignant tone of voice was meant to ''signify''.
