  • This ad for the Gamestop preorder bonus.
    • Complete with massively hilarious callbacks to G1, even looking past the song:
      Shockwave: When your hit percentage exceeds mine, you may choose the soundtrack.
  • A blink-and-you-miss moment: After Air Raid rescues Optimus and his team from the firing squad, he's seen fiddling with a control panel to release their bonds. When it doesn't cooperate, Air Raid angrily punches the machine. When that doesn't work, he just shoots it.
  • Much of the back and forth banter between the characters, like this exchange between Starscream and Skywarp in the second Decepticon level.
    Starscream: The Autobots must have booby trapped this room! Fools!
    Skywarp: Wait, are you calling us fools or the Autobots fools? 'Cause I'm not getting the sense that you respect me.
    Starscream: Silence! Fool.
    Skywarp: That's exactly what I'm talking about!
    • There's also this exchange earlier in the level:
    Starscream: Unbelievable! These Autobots are dumber than Skywarp!
    (15 seconds later)
    Skywarp: "Dumber than Skywarp"? I'll show you dumb, Starscream!
    Starscream: You always do.
    • Thundercracker gets some in too:
    Skywarp: At least I'm not ugly.
    Thundercracker: Ugly? You and I look the same!
  • Breakdown's got a good amount of these, made all the more hilarious by Crispin Freeman's voice acting.
    Breakdown: Take cover!
    Megatron: Steady yourself, coward! I marked this area for Dark Energon bombers.
    Breakdown: ARE YOU INSANE?!? I mean... yes, brillllliant, Megatron!
    • Ironically, Megatron of all people genuinely does have a sense of humor:
    Megatron: Into the tunnels, Decepticons. And try not to get crushed by the trains.
    Breakdown: You're joking... right?
    Megatron: (in a voice that's just dripping with sarcasm) Yes, Breakdown. I am famous for my sparkling sense of humor. NOW GET MOVING. BEFORE I DISMANTLE YOU MYSELF!
    • After narrowly escaping with their lives:
    Megatron: (sarcastically) Yes, Breakdown, your constant whining saw us through.
    • While speeding down a tunnel in Chapter IV:
    Breakdown: Hey Soundwave, you wanna race?
    Soundwave: Negative.
  • After beating Starscream in Chapter VI:
    Bumblebee: Run, you yellow-plated coward!
  • This conversation in Chapter IV. Megatron has been less than successful so far dealing with Omega Supreme on his tail, but if you let him tell the story, he's completely in control:
    Megatron: It appears we have lost that dull-witted brute, Omega Supreme. Not that he stood a chance against my intellect.
    (Cue Omega Supreme floating into view)
    Breakdown: Uh, Megatron?
    Megatron: (sounding genuinely neutral) What? (finally sees Omega Supreme) WHAT?!
  • Optimus seems to enjoy smashing up the bad guys a little too much.
    Bumblebee: It's that bad?
    Optimus: Bumblebee, we're locked inside an enemy prison, surrounded by countless Decepticons bent on our destruction.
    Bumblebee: So it's bad.
    Optimus: It's purely a matter of perspective.
  • This wonderful exchange between Ironhide and Warpath during a later chapter of the game.
    Warpath: Ironhide, I'm beginning to think you're jealous of my fine aim!
    Ironhide: I can't be jealous of something you don't have.
  • If Ratchet is downed, he can say "I'm down! How embarrassing...".
  • If Megatron is downed, he will rant, "Decepticons! You DARE not let your leader perish!"
