1	The sequel novel to ''Literature/TransformersExodus''.
2
3	----
4	!!This novel provides examples of:
5	* AdaptationalBadass: Ransack was a ButtMonkey and common thug back in his original series, but here he's a threatening and power hungry rival to Override, and his ambitions are what plunge Velocitron into war. When Megatron first meets him and kicks him aside, Ransack is back on his feet and up for a fight, whilst in his original series it would have just been more AmusingInjuries.
6	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Wreck-Gar comes off this way to the Cybertronians.
7	* CompositeCharacter: Wreck-Gar's origins and TV Speak are borrowed from ''G1'', but his naivety, simpleminded nature, and Garbage Truck alt-mode are from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated''.
8	* FauxAffablyEvil: Thundertron appears to make use of the universal greeting on any Cybertronian he meets, though doesn't act friendly very long afterwards.
9	* TheMole: [[spoiler:Makeshift]], who is pretending to be [[spoiler:Hound]] to infiltrate the Autobots.
10	* MotorMouth: Blurr. It's implied that most Velocitronians are like this to some extent.
11	* TheNondescript: Makeshift's ShapeshifterDefaultForm is described as "so anonymous that it was practically impossible for anyone who saw him once to describe him accurately."
12	* PlanetOfHats: Velocitron and Junkion. The former is a planet where everyone is obsessed with speed, the latter is a planet where everyone is obsessed with junk.
13	* TheQuisling: [[spoiler:Axer]] became a Decepticon not because of any commitment to their ideals, but because he wanted to be on the side he thought was most likely to win. So it shouldn't come as much of a surprise when he later ditches them to join the [[spoiler:Star Seekers]].
14	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Slipstream seems to be the only female Decepticon. However, she is ''not'' the only female character in the book -- there's also Override (who is of much more importance to the plot) and [[spoiler: Solus Prime, who technically only appears as a hologram]].
15	* TheStarscream: Starscream, [[TropeNamer of course]].
16	* TakeAThirdOption: The Star Seekers, lead by Thundertron, are neither Autobot nor Decepticon. Their planned backstory would reveal that each member is from one of Cybertron's lost colonies, and when they were abandoned and left to die, Thundertron recruited one robot from each colony and formed the Star Seekers; their main goal to hunt down any and ''every'' Cybertronian still alive.
17	* UncertainDoom: In this continuity, Trypticon willingly transformed into the Nemesis and wasn't forcibly reconstructed into it. After a damaging warp, Thundercracker notes the unresponsiveness from Trypticon, wondering if the trip had given him brain damage and ShapeshifterModeLock or if he had just passed away and they were flying his corpse.
