2
3	!!Tropes
4	* AnimalsNotToScale: The alligators at the end are almost the same size as Starscream, who happens to be 20 feet tall.
5	* AlwaysABiggerFish: The Decepticons start playing with/attacking humans attending a baseball game, but then they are transported to an alien planet where they encounter giant inhabitants, a giant cat, mouse and fish (a literal big fish) who play with and attack them as well.
6	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Aron sides with the Autobots because they put out the fire on his playhouse that Starscream caused.
7	* BlameGame: Optimus and Starscream play this when the 5 Autobots and 4 Decepticons land in an alien planet due to Megatron's space bridge.
8	* TheBully: Marty is this to Aron, making threats of physical assault on him simply for not showing him what he's hiding behind his back.
9	* ButtMonkey: Starscream, Soundwave, Ravage and Thrust. Starscream seems to be the biggest one of the four, as he was selected to be the first one by the green aliens for dissection and then when they arrive back on Earth, Starscream is immediately attacked by alligators.
10	* DirtyCoward: As Thrust is being chased by an alien fish, he asks Ravage to help him. Ravage refuses even shaking his head in a negative tone before running off, only to fall into his own trap.
11	* ExactWords: Aron tries to keep the Autobots a secret from his parents, not wanting them to hurt them or take them away from him. When he and his parents catch all the Decepticons his parents ask if that is all of them, and he [[HesitationEqualsDishonesty is quiet for a moment]] before confiriming that they got all the "Decepticons". Unfortunately, Nitro exposes the Autobots to his parents.
12	* ExitPursuedByABear: Starscream in the end gets attacked by a swarm of alligators as while the other Decepticons may be suffering the same fate or [[DirtyCoward just about left him]] to deal with those gators himself.
13	* FiveManBand: The five Autobots teleported to the alien planet fit this:
14	** Optimus Prime: TheLeader
15	** Bumblebee: TheHeart (and damsel-in-distress)
16	** Perceptor: TheSmartGuy
17	** Inferno: TheBigGuy
18	** Smokescreen: TheLancer
19	* ForScience: The green aliens intend to dissect the Transformers to study their biology, ignoring Aron's pleas that the Autobots are his friends and are alive (as while he didn't object to the Decepticons dissection).
20	* IntrovertedCatPerson: Aron appears to be this. He has a lot of pets (a cat, a fish, an elephant-hamster hybrid) but no friends that are the same species he is. He gets very attached to the Autobots, and the fact that Optimus announced they'll be leaving for Earth and never coming back makes Aron mourn his lack of friends.
21	* LaserGuidedKarma: The Decepticons suffer far worse than the Autobots upon arriving on a planet inhabited by giant green creatures. The Autobots on the other hand survive purely out of luck.
22	* LazyArtist: This episode is infamous for having almost no ''on-model'' art, animation that barely moves (even for the standards of the show), and plenty of technical gaffes. [[https://youtu.be/qSGN6NsfUdM This video showcases the worst moments]].
23	* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: At the end of the episode, Starscream gets attacked by a swarm of alligators. [[AnimalsNotToScale Who are almost the same size as him]].
24	* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
25	** Aron's cat Nitro exposed the Autobots' existence to Aron's parents.
26	** Perceptor for giving away all the info about the telescope [[SayingTooMuch as the Decepticons listen]]. Optimus didn't even ask him for or needed all that information, and tells Perceptor to stop chatting on and just get to work on the scope.
27	* PintSizedPowerhouse: During the fight at the baseball field, Brawn is able to swing Soundwave around and throw him a great distance away.
28	* RefuseToRescueTheDisliked: After falling prey to the traps and alien creatures, the Decepticons start asking the Autobots to help them out. The Autobots choose to roll out with the Energon cubes.
29	* RevengeBeforeReason: The Decepticons wanting revenge on the Autobots even when they're on a planet inhabited by giant green aliens capable of crushing them. Bonus idiot points go to Starscream for firing upon the Autobots inside Aron's room right ''after'' he escaped Aron's grasp who is looking for him!
30	* SayingTooMuch: Had Perceptor not chatted on about how he can modify Aron's telescope to get them back home, the Decepticons may not have taken the ride for themselves.
31	-->'''Optimus:''' Perceptor, don't tell us, just do it!
32	* TakeThatAudience: Aron is a pastiche of the show's target demographic: young boys about ages 5 to 12.
33	* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: The Decepticons start attacking humans for the fun of it, then they get transported to an alien planet where a young boy makes them go through the same experience they put the humans through.
