  • Most Decepticons in Cybertron keep their Cybertronian alt-mode, with the exception of Thundercracker; all the Autobots, on the other hand, adopt Earth-modes. Keeping in mind that Thundercracker eventually becomes disenchanted with the Decepticon cause, one can say that Planet Cybertron has the hat of robotic self-interest, while Planet Earth has the hat of protecting and caring for others, the Autobots' prime motivation. Vector Prime even fits in this categorization, with his initial motivation safeguarding Cybertron, arguably coming from a form of self-interest.
    • Lugnut and Mudflap get earthmodes, and eventually become good guys as well.
    • Thunderblast also has an earth based mode, but she's the epitome of self interest.
      • She's keeping her options open
  • Why is the Velocitron arc so long compared to the other arcs? According to TFWiki, it was most likely done to avoid running out of plot like Transformers: Energon did (though, unfortunately, this means that the final arcs come off as rushed).
