| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) | comment |
When the Transformers Ongoing ended with the Chaos storyline, the long civil war between Autobots and Decepticons finally ended as well. IDW launched two new series to chronicle events in the aftermath of that war.One was The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye chronicling a group of Autobots in space, while the other was this comic.Optimus Prime has left Cybertron, Galvatron is presumed dead, and Megatron is MIA. Thousands of neutral transformers who left the world before and during the war have returned, lead by Metalhawk. The Autobots have triumphed over the Decepticons, who are now leaderless and directionless. The ongoing split many of the transformers into two groups. One group went into space to discover their history, the other stayed on Cybertron. Robots in Disguise covers the troops left behind, and delves into the political side, as the Autobots, Decepticons, and Non-Aligned Indigenous Life-forms (NAILs) reach a tentative peace. Tempers are still high as everyone blames everyone else for the war, and some try to take advantage of the chaos to carve out a new position in the Post-War Cybertron.It now has a character sheet. Feel free to add to it.From November, 2013 to March 2014, Robots in Disguise was part of a 12-issue Crisis Crossover event with More than Meets the Eye called The Transformers: Dark Cybertron. Being a game changer for the series, you might be well-advised to visit that page.As-of issue 35, it dropped the 'Robots in Disguise' subtitle and became just 'The Transformers',note Volume 2, where Transformers Ongoing was volume 1 which made things... confusing in the short term (but as the show entitled ''Robots In Disguise'' had its own comic tie-in, will probably be helpful in the long-term). From March 2015 to May 2015 The Transformers was part of a 6 issue crossover with The Transformers: Windblade (which also launched the latter title as an ongoing) titled The Transformers: Combiner Wars. Tropes occurring in the crossover belong on that page.After the Titans Return and Revolution crossovers the series was rebranded as Optimus Prime (without the Transformers branding), launching with a new issue #1 in December 2016. The series lasted until 2018, when it and Lost Light were ended in the wake of The Transformers: Unicron, which follows on from and wraps up many of this comic's plotlines, as well as the continuity as a whole.Tropes: | |

Fall Guy: Rattrap sabotaged the Iacon Power Grid, and managed to get Scoop arrested for it. Subverted, in that Starscream could tell Scoop was innocent, and recognized Rattrap right from the start as a liar and the true culprit, but played along because Scoop's altruism made him unpredictable, whereas Rattrap gets offered a government job. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Has a more consistently somber tone than sister series The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye. At least until The Transformers: Dark Cybertron, where this series got Lighter and Softer at about the same time More Than Meets The Eye became somewhat Darker and Edgier. It goes back to being darker in Optimus Prime. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_1520ad7e | comment |
Prowl goes Jumping Off the Slippery Slope like you would not believe. Turns out much of this, including his apparent alliance with the Decepticons, is a result of being mind-controlled by Bombshell, but he's still done a lot of nasty stuff in the name of peace. Case in point, none of the other Autobots actually realized he was being mind-controlled because they didn't think the things he was doing while under Bombshell's control were morally any worse than his usual behavior. | |

Your Head A-Splode | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_1713b00a | comment |
Your Head Asplode: The Deceptions all have inhibitor/deterrence chips in their heads to prevent them from using their powers and transforming. If they get out of line, their heads will explode. When Horri-bull almost beats a neutral to death, Bumblebee detonates his chip. Ultimately subverted with the Constructicons in Issue #4: They show up alive and well later, despite Prowl detonating their chips, but it turns out they were Faking the Dead with a little help from Prowl himself. Wheeljack barely survives this in Issue 14. Shockwave shoots an already badly wounded Metrotitan in the face, blowing up his head. | |

| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_173909 | comment |
Brainwashed and Crazy: Prowl's been this ever since he encountered Bombshell. After breaking free he's rather disturbed by the fact that he's considered to be such a Jerkass normally by the other Autobots that they never noticed a change in his behavior. | |

Continuity Porn: John Barber is famous for tackling messy continuities, so there's some of this to be expected. Probably the best example is the explanation of why the Reflector trio showed up again after they canonically died: they're time travellers. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Everything where Prowl is the narrator/point of view after Issue #4. Played with Starscream in issue 20. He expresses himself aloud, without being suspected, rebuked or second-guessed, but only by talking to the dead, the paralyzed, and the comatose. And since this is Starscream, you never know. Optimus Prime issue 18 has Starscream's biography as the voiceover, and naturally it has Starscream portraying himself as a victim, and Optimus as an egotistical villain. | |

The Cameo: In Redemption, the Dinobots unknowingly walk over the deactivated body of Trypticon, who was apparently left behind back when Thunderwing trashed Cybertron, and has long since been frozen over. As Optimus Prime goes other, characters from other continuities start showing up in crowd scenes by the droves, to say nothing of the block-coloured swarms of Beast Wars characters. | |

End of an Age: Issue #34 shows us the end of the era of the Thirteen Original Primes, after most of them die or disappear from Cybertron, save one, Alpha Trion, who becomes The Mentor to Nova Major, making him the first in a new line of Primes to usher in a "Golden Age" for Cybertron. | |

Übermensch: Shockwave, more so than any other continuity. Pre-war he was The Fettered, rejecting the belief that some were born better than others, and fully believed that everyone was equal. Post Empurata he's The Unfettered. Morality has no place in his mind after its removal, and he rejects the ideals of the Decepticons in both conquest and equality. Through cold Science he's placed himself above all others, and with his experiments, he can alter the fabric of the universe. To him, life and death are just concepts that he can manipulate. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: In issue 11 it's deliberately left ambiguous if Shockwave was responsible for blowing the crap out of Omega Supreme like everyone thinks. Eventually, Prowl states that he did it while under Bombshell's control. Is Optimus really the Arisen or isn't he? The Mistress of Flame thinks he is, Pyra Magna (and Victorion) doesn't, Shockwave reveals he made up the very concept of Primes just to discredit it. At the very end of the series, there's no answer either way. What matters is what Optimus did, not who he was. | |

Downplayed with Rattrap. He's not really that bad, but he's clearly not good, instead being more evocative of his Transformers: Animated counterpart, Rattletrap, though played without laughs. | |

Knight in Sour Armor / Knight Templar: Prowl views himself as a Knight in Sour Armor, whereas in reality he's more of a Knight Templar. Even before getting mind-controlled by Bombshell. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Turmoil's ship, which just so happens to look exactly like the crashed ship Wheelie saw in his spotlight, and just happens to have a time machine on-board. During Ironhide and the Dinobot's sojourn out into the wilderness, when the Dinos start getting mindless and violent, their eyes gradually turn yellow. The significance isn't stated outright, but several issues down the line Bombshell's victim has his eyes glow yellow when released from Bombshell's control. After the end of Combiner Wars Prowl mentions that thanks to combining with him, a part of Prowl will always be in Optimus' mind. While not a concern at first, come "All Hail Optimus" the big guy has started acting more and more Prowl-ish... The Decepticon space bridge, from Spotlight: Bumblebee reappears in issue 37 in Blackrock's possession. Prowl steals it and installs it on the Ark-7, where it lets him get to Cybertron during Combiner Wars. After that, it becomes a major point during "Conquerors", as the Decepticons use it to attack the ship. The mutated energon responsible for the Dynobot's origins in Monstrosity comes back in Redemption. And again in Optimus Prime issue 13. At the end of Autocracy, Prime ordered Prowl to destroy Zeta Prime's WMD stockpile, with Prowl's reaction suggesting he probably wasn't going to do it. Surprise, when Prowl returns in Optimus Prime, he's using a Vamparc Ribbon. Trypticon's hot spot, which is used to give Optimus and Bumblebee new bodies and new Sparks, to fix their bad case of death. | |

The Un-Reveal: The Syndromica arc explores some of the Regenesis Ores, as does Dark Cybertron, but Ores 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11 and 12 go unidentified, along with where they landed. It isn't until Transformers: Unicron that Ore-12 is confirmed to be the source of the Space Knight's armor, and Optimus Prime issue 18 identifies Ore-9 and 10. | |

Back for the Dead: The last Mini-Constructicon, last seen in Spotlight: Ramjet, shows up again being tracked down and killed by Spike Witwicky and Jimmy (((Pink))). The Throttlebots reappear in Optimus Prime, last having been seen in Spotlight: Metroplex. Wideload and Freeway are noted to have died from their wounds there. Searchlight is quickly killed off, and Rollbar follows him. At the beginning of the issue, Goldbug mentions they also managed to kill the Nigh-Invulnerable Sixshot. Cliffjumper returns in issue 23, after several years away, in a recording of him arriving on Velocitron just as Unicron comes looking for dinner. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Sky-byte recites a haiku to the head of a sweep (holding it in an Alas, Poor Yorick kind of way), and comments that it reminds him of someone. All the Sweeps resemble Scourge, and Sky-byte is reminded of him. In the Transformers: Robots in Disguise there was a character named Scourge as well, who was Sky-byte's rival (They look nothing alike, but the similar name and knowledge of Sky-byte function as the gag). Turmoil mentions that Drift's defection, from his miniseries, occurred on the planet Dabola, previously mentioned in a one-off line in Armada as somewhere the Decepticons won a decisive victory over the Autobots. In Syndromica (2), when Orion travels to LV-117 during the time of its destruction by an as of yet unknown force, the entire planet appears to be bathed in an ominous red light, and chunks of it appear to be flying upwards into the sky. This is very similar to what happened to planets devoured by Unicron in the 1986 movie, which is probably another indicator that it's him. Ironhide's prediction of the future invokes the phrase "The Transformers are all dead". Bumblebee looks like his Goldbug form after the repairs from the beating he took. When the Decepticons turn on each other and fight for leadership, Blitzwing and Soundwave are the ones fighting, just like in the movie. The dog that Thundercracker adopted on Earth is named Buster, in reference to Buster Witwicky, one of the Autobots' human allies from the Marvel comics. The last panel of issue #29 features Kelly, Radd White and Carlos Lopez running away from Devastator. Also, weirdly, Homer Simpson. The Decepticon's new flagship bears a strong resemblance to the Revenge, Galvatron's Unicron-gifted starship from the 1986 film. It's later revealed to be called the Nemesis, the classic Decepticon ship that's long been absent from IDW's continuity. Furthermore, Galvatron's ancient "Barbarian" body greatly resembles his G1 toy, though his arm cannon is based on the blaster rifle accessory the toy came with and not the more familiar sleek orange barreled weapon. Ancient Cybertronian lore says that only a Prime can kill a Prime, which was first established in Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen though it's not true here. When they meet, Victorion lists off all but one of the Thirteen to Optimus. The reason she doesn't list the thirteenth is because in the Aligned continuity, the thirteenth was Optimus himself. This later becomes a plot point, as the Mistress of Flame is convinced this holds true for this version of Optimus as well. Victorion also names the Matrix as "the Matrix of Light", an incredibly obscure name from an old stickerbook for the 1986 film. Prime, meanwhile, calls it the Creation Matrix, the name it was called by in the comics. A flashback shows someone in a Cybertronian bar ordering a "Grand Uprising", named after the war from Beast Wars: Uprising. A story in "Salvation" states Mortilus, supposed former death god of the Guiding Hand, wielded a Void Scepter, the same name Hasbro's website gave to The Fallen's staff from Revenge of the Fallen. The poem from Pyra Magna's origin story is the same one from "Cosmic Rust", as well as the one printed in cyberglyphics on the Rust Renegades' toys. The beginning of Optimus Prime issue 9 has Optimus tell Sideswipe "fate has called upon you at the moment of its choosing". Sideswipe says this is a typical statement of Optimus. Onyx Prime's ship is the Nemesis, specifically the giant eyeball-shaped ship from Beast Wars II. | |

Starscream is different in that he's in control of everything except his original faction, and he hasn't been The Dragon for some time. With the death of Scrapper, normally the head, or at least spokes person of the Constructicons, Hook (normally the second in command), has taken his place at the forefront. | |

Loss of Identity: Explained as being the fate of everyone "recruited" into Galvatron's army, save Cyclonus. They all turned into Sweeps. Galvatron also mentions combining as he knows it rots away the individual. Indeed, this happens to the Constructicons, who begin talking and acting alike. Meanwhile averted with Pyra Magna and the Torchbearers, though in Optimus Prime issue 13, Pyra Magna states they don't like being apart for very long, suggesting a variant (that the combined form hates being broken up) is in play. | |

Defector from Decadence: Thundercracker went AWOL from the Decepticons in the previous ongoing and has been living on Earth ever since. Humanity believes that he's this for all Transformers, since the true First Contact between humans and Transformers went... pretty badly | |

Bad Boss | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: Turmoil made a group of aliens build him a time machine, then promptly murders them all. He's also a pretty big dick to his mooks. Galvatron forgets the names of his troops, refuses to get Skywarp's fault teleportation fixed, and offhandedly suggests he'd have been fine with Arcee murdering Astrotrain. He later uses the Enigma on his own troops, and abandons Astrotrain to be sliced to pieces by Arcee. | |

Flat Character: The Monstructor Six don't have any character aside from be threatening and combine into big scary combiner. This can happen to many combining teams in fiction where their sole purpose is to turn into the Combining Mecha, but here it's explained as Jhiaxus had their minds destroyed for the combination process, and that combining causes the individuals to start loosing their identity. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: The Decepticons that pull a Heel–Face Turn have seldom done that in any of their appearances, bar Tankor and Octane, who defected in the cartoon for less noble reasons. Similarly, Soundwave is made into a much more noble and sympathetic character than pretty much every previous interpretation. Used to be the case with Shockwave, but Proteus found his old self a little too troublesome. Megatron himself is convinced to pull a Heel–Face Turn at the climax of Dark Cybertron. Soundwave is much nicer (usually), and eventually becomes an ally of Optimus. | |

Blackrock's explanation is that it's an early leaking of a video game trailer, but it remains to be seen if the lie is believed. He later does it again, claiming he has no secrets. He does, in fact, have secrets. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The ending of Dark Cybertron, which serves as the conclusion to season one. Cybertron and the universe are saved, Nova Prime and Shockwave are dead, and Megatron finally decides to stop fighting and pulls a Heel–Face Turn, but New Iacon is in ruins, Bumblebee is dead, and Starscream is still ruler. The series, and technically the continuity as a whole (since Optimus Prime issue 25 was the last issue of the continuity released). Cybertron and all the colonies are destroyed, and the survivors are left on Earth, unless they move to that duplicate Cybertron Rodimus and the Crusadercons found. Optimus and Starscream pulled their own Heroic Sacrifices in a successful attempt to stop Unicron, but Earth is rebuilding, and there's a sense of hope. Because, after all, it never ends. | |

Dropped a Bridge on Him | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_43a045de | comment |
Dropped a Bridge on Him: Issue 4 drops a bridge on the remaining Constructicons and Bombshell. In issue 11 Triggerhappy is killed by Arcee without fanfare, which comes off as bizarre considering she spares and captures the other Decepticons, and Arcee admitted that she did it for fun. In issue 12 Staxx is unceremoniously blown to bits by Prowl to show that Prowl has gone completely off the deep end. The end of issue #13 reveals that the Constructicons, and Bombshell at least, are still alive. During Devastator's rampage, Sky High is crushed in the Combiners hand whilst calling for back up and Broadside is reporting from a communication tower before it's unceremoniously crushed with him still inside. Though this is subverted when both turn up alive later on. Hardhead's Surprisingly Sudden Death in Dark Cybertron is mentioned by Arcee as one of the reasons she's so anti-social. He died, and no-one really seemed to notice, or even care. Except her. | |

Saying Too Much | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_4733b5a5 | comment |
Saying Too Much: Arcee, in issue 18, accidentally spills the beans on Prowl sending her to kill Ratbat before he got mind-controlled by Bombshell, which aggravates Prowls standing with the other Autobots. Oops! Galvatron did this during Nova Prime's reign when he argued against Nova allowing Jhiaxus to try and perfect combining by attempting to re-create Nexus Prime's Engima of Combining. When Galvatron argues-in front of Alpha Trion, another member of the Thirteen like Nexus-that he searched Nexus' empty fortress and found no sign of the Enigma and that Nexus fled with it, Trion enquires why Galvatron would assume it was an object and not an idea as everyone else is. When Galvatron can only sputter that he meant the idea was lost with Nexus, Trion suddenly realizes that Galvatron has been hiding the Engima all this time, which is in fact an object, because he took it from Nexus after secretly killing him. (Un?)fortunately, Galvatron also realizes he's made Trion suspicious and soon rectifies that by firing the Engima into space, perhaps intentionally at Earth, or perhaps it merely landed there by accident. | |

The Resenter: Prowl due to the fact that he wanted nothing to do with the war, but was pretty much forced into it by Optimus Prime, since he's good at whatever he does. It's pretty much the reason why he hates NAILs, because he didn't get to be one of them and escape the war like them. Starscream suggests that Rattrap harbors resentment towards the Autobots because he spent centuries, if not millions of years, stuck on an unimportant, dead-end backwater world fighting Decepticons, and as a result wasn't able to move up the command structure to become someone important, like one of Optimus Prime's inner circle. So Starscream offers him a job in his government. | |

Wham Line: From Issue 17: From Issue 28: Issue 32: The Revelation that the Earth Defense Force has an army of Ramjet and Thrust clones, oh, and that Trion was not the source of their technology, someone else predates him. Alpha Trion gets a good in-universe one too in issue #34. From Issue 49: From Optimus Prime issue 13: Bludgeon refers to a "master". Optimus Prime 17: "The title of Prime is trivial... simply a means to an end... old friend." | |

Our Time Travel Is Different: For one thing, according to Wheeljack, it can't move you back and forth through time, it moves you sideways through time. It can also cause you to bounce randomly through various points in history (Orion ends up bouncing between various events over the course of fifty plus years before he can come to a stop). Oh and it can affect entire planets. | |

Dark Is Not Evil: Most of the normal, frontline Decepticon soldiers aren't evil in any way, they're simply fighting for a cause they believe in like the Autobots. Now that the war is over most of them just want to live in peace and stop fighting. The Autobots having trouble understanding this trope after so many years of war is what generates a lot of the conflict in the comic. | |

The Smurfette Principle: Arcee is the only "female" Cybertronian in the whole series, and for a good reason. Jhiaxus' experiments with Arcee's CNA ended up introducing an alternate gender into what was previously a One-Gender Race. Subverted later on as other female Cybetronians exist on the colony worlds and it's clear that they once existed on Cybertron. Galvatron even says Jhiaxus' experimentations on Arcee was an attempt to reintroduce gender to Cybertron after the women were all killed off (probably by Galvatron). | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Before the war Orion believed that he and the miner-cum-revolutionary Megatron had a lot in common with their ideas on freedom and on taking on the caste system and senate. As the conflict began building, Orion learned more and more that he and Megatron were irreconcilably different. Post-war, Megatron's pulled a Heel–Face Turn, and many characters accuse Optimus of becoming a fascist in-lieu of Megatron and the previous Primes when he annexes Earth. Him going to an alien world and forcibly including them into a government without their or the government's consent lead many to compare him to the Knight Templar phase of the Decepticons. | |

Emotions vs. Stoicism: Shockwave plays both sides, with the emotional Shockwave being the one before Shadowplay, and the stoic side being the one after. The conflict between Shockwave and Soundwave is a variation on this. Both are The Stoic, but Shockwave is emotionless and considers emotion a weakness, while Soundwave both embraces and learned to control his emotions, finding strength in them. | |

Villainous Friendship: Soundwave's issue has a type 1 with his cassettes, they respect him and he treats them as equals, bar Ratbat. He also has a type 4 with Shockwave, respecting him, and both working together well, but never trusting each other and coming to blows in the present. He has a type 1/3 hybrid with Megatron, as he's completely devoted to Megatron and his ideals, and Megatron trusts him more than most bots, but, as Soundwave notes, not completely. This changes when Megatron leaves the Decepticons. Needlenose and Horri-bull seemed to have a type 1. | |

The series, and technically the continuity as a whole (since Optimus Prime issue 25 was the last issue of the continuity released). Cybertron and all the colonies are destroyed, and the survivors are left on Earth, unless they move to that duplicate Cybertron Rodimus and the Crusadercons found. Optimus and Starscream pulled their own Heroic Sacrifices in a successful attempt to stop Unicron, but Earth is rebuilding, and there's a sense of hope. Because, after all, it never ends. | |

The Optimus Prime annual confirms it really is Bumblebee, but it's not until "The Falling" that we get the full explanation of what's going on - Bumblebee's reaching out from Infraspace, where his mind still exists. In a turnaround, the final issue of Optimus Prime has a now alive again Bumblebee talking to a possibly imaginary, possibly real Starscream. | |

Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap! | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_69cce3dc | comment |
Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: Optimus, on finding Monstructor frozen on Arduria. See, the last time Monstructor showed up, he was working for the Decepticons, and Bludgeon in particular. Before Optimus can finish the sentence, he realises Bludgeon's not only nearby, he's trying to get on-board their ship to free Jhiaxus. As the situation with Onyx Prime gets increasingly tense, Alpha Trion points out he's done nothing but talk. The old bot trails off as he realizes where this is heading. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: Played with Metalhawk. In many ways, Metalhawk is similar to Dai Atlas, both are stuck up pricks who oppose the Autobot in authority. Both have reasons to distrust both factions, and both sew seeds of distrust. The difference is their goals, Dai Atlas wanted to abandon the planet, which would scatter their people, but would keep them safe from the war, and his distrust and criticism of Optimus were part of his desire to abandon the war, and separate. Metalhawk wants everyone to come together, but his distrust and insults at the Autobots is counterproductive to that goal. Similarly, Prowl has several valid points regarding the Decepticons and Nails, but he ends up taking it way too far. | |

The Reveal | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: Issue 9 ends with the reveal of Superion. Oh and the Reflector components appear to have time traveled away. Issue 11 featured Starscream witnessing a heavily-damaged Megatron striding out of the wilderness towards New Iacon. Issue 13 ends with the revelation that Megatron is apparently working with Prowl, and that they've gathered together a group of Decepticon heavy-hitters...including the previously thought-dead Bombshell and Constructicons. Issue 14 has Prowl had been under Bombshell's mind control since Issue 4. Issue 20 has Starscream working to revive Wheeljack. In issue 33, it initially looks like Starscream has been talking to himself, only for it later look like he was actually talking to Scoop. Issue 43 reveals that actually, it's neither. He's talking to Bumblebee. Optimus Prime issue 14: Pyra Magna is conferring with Prowl. Optimus Prime issue 18 finally clues us in as to how Metrotitan survived going boom: Shockwave used some of his regenesis ores to move him before he could blow up, as part of his plan. | |

Issue 14, fittingly named "Before the Dawn". Megatron is stronger than ever, leading the Decepticon forces and the new Devestator, with Prowl at its head, to destroy the last remaining Autobots, taking Cybertron for Decepticons, once and for all. And the only thing standing in his way are Ironhide, the damaged Dinobots, and an insane Superion. | |

The first "season" of the comic played around with this, with Prowl, Starscream, Metalhawk, Jhiaxus, and finally Megatron forming a Big Bad Ensemble of sorts. As the story gears up into The Transformers: Dark Cybertron, Shockwave takes the spot as the definitive Big Bad for the season. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_7335ffa9 | comment |
Grey-and-Gray Morality: Not all Autobots are clean cut and good, and some Decepticons just want to get on with their lives. The NAILs blame the warriors for dooming the planet, and the Cons and Bots blame the NAILs for leaving when the planet was being fought over, and now they want to take it back when they haven't fought in the war. Metalhawk, leader of the NAILs, is a massive prick, but he does have a point. Prowl lampshades this during an Inner Monologue as he attacks Autobots as the head module of Devastator. | |

Noble Bigot: Nova Prime was an extreme racist who believed that Cybertronians were superior to all other life. He wasn't completely evil at first, he simply genuinely believed that the galaxy would be a better place under Cybertronian rule. Unfortunately, unlike most examples though he did not redeem himself. Instead he was taken by the Dead Universe which caused him to jump off the slippery slope due to it's influence. | |

Bullying a Dragon | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_7eb73553 | comment |
Bullying a Dragon: The NAILs hate and fear the Autobots and Decepticons after the Great War. Despite this, they seem to think that antagonizing them is very much a good idea. The Autobots (usually) have a strict moral code that keeps them from either beating the crap out of the NAILs to keep them in line or just leaving them to be slaughtered, but the Decepticons make clear that they're very much willing to break the NAILs' skulls open with their bare hands if they're provoked. In issue 1, Bumblebee actually has to kill Horri-Bull because Zetca felt the need to antagonize and provoke the massive Decepticon mobster who's at least two times his size. Dreadwing decides to attack Soundwave, assuming that Ssoundwave would have deployed his cassettes already if they were with him and that he can take Soundwave alone. Unfortunately for him, Soundwave is not having any of that shit and promptly shreds Dreadwing to bits with his shoulder cannon. He's wrong about the cassettes, too. | |

Driving Question | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_8151ec48 | comment |
Driving Question: In the season 2 comics, Ironhide's driving question is "how was Shockwave able to change the future during Dark Cybertron", since its events render the subject of Ironhide (and Jhiaxus') vision of Gorlam Prime and the Pax Cybertronia moot. Issue 34# reveals a few more: Does Galvatron know the Enigma of Combination is on Earth, and if he does, what does he intend to do with it if he finds it? And finally, is it mere coincidence that Cybertronian history appears to be constantly repeating itself, or is there some kind of great pattern to it all? Galvatron is revealed to know the Enigma's location and has abandoned his strict opposition to its abilities. Now he's perfectly willing to use them for his benefit and against his foes. The last question eventually gets an answer in Optimus Prime: Yes, because Shockwave's been manipulating everything. | |

Alas, Poor Yorick | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_86e17259 | comment |
Sky-byte recites a haiku to the head of a sweep (holding it in an Alas, Poor Yorick kind of way), and comments that it reminds him of someone. All the Sweeps resemble Scourge, and Sky-byte is reminded of him. In the Transformers: Robots in Disguise there was a character named Scourge as well, who was Sky-byte's rival (They look nothing alike, but the similar name and knowledge of Sky-byte function as the gag). | |

Bait-and-Switch: Issue 31 ends with Jazz finding Alpha Trion, only for Prowl to sneak up behind him, put a gun to his head and say Alpha Trion isn't going anywhere... issue 32 begins with Prowl explaining that he just meant Jazz wasn't aware of the security systems. The gun to the head was just to make sure Prowl got Jazz's attention. | |

The Chosen One | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_89631688 | comment |
The Chosen One: In the annual, the crashed Metrotitan reveals that Starscream may become one in the future. Possibly subverted when Galvatron contemptuously says that Alchemist Prime, who apparently first uttered the prophecy of the "Chosen One" was tripping on rancid Engex when he said it, which might mean it's a load of hogwash. Eventually, Shockwave confirms that it is in fact hogwash, made up so Starscream could wind up in the right place to do the most damage. Nova Prime is a subversion/deconstruction. Alpha Trion intended him to be the chosen one who would bring peace to Cybertron but Nova wasn't able to handle the task, devolving into an egomaniac with a god complex. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass: The Thirteen Primes, from what we've seen of them, don't seem like they were the paragons of Cybertronian virtues in other continuities. Alpha Trion is an arrogant manipulator, Nexus Prime seemed openly contemptuous of those he believed were below his station, and Alchemist Prime apparently liked to trip out on rancid Engex. Not to mention all of them save Trion and Nexus (who was killed by Galvatron) up and abandoned Cybertron millions of years ago, as well as all of their followers for reasons that have not yet been made clear. | |

Time shifts all over the place, including a split second where Viewfinder has died (which he and the other Reflector bots say was weird), they arrive at the ship, then it cuts to them having left the ship, then Jhiaxus leaving the planet, then Monstructor attacking some giant creatures, then it was all a vision which soon comes true. Throughout it, Optimus get's flown to the past, then back with Turmoil, a slaver decepticon he meets, right up until Jhiaxus grabs a synthetic Energon Warhead and leaves. | |

Wham Episode: In Issue 4, Prowl goes off the deep end, murdering Bombshell and the Constructicons, and Dirge becomes the only witness and thus a fugitive. In Issue 11, Megatron returns... Issue 13 ...And is working with Prowl to take over Cybertron. Issue 14: ...And Bombshell was mind controlling Prowl... who now serves as the head module for Devastator! Issue 16: Starscream kills Metalhawk, and then "wins", exiling both Autobots and Decepticons out of New Iacon. Issue 28: Galvatron is leading the Decepticons, and has struck an alliance with the Earth defense forces. Issue 50: Optimus declares Earth is under his protection, and absolutely no-one is happy about that. Spike is put back in charge of the EDC. Prowl returns, determined to oppose Optimus. And the big guy has a vision suggesting he's just screwed up royally... Annual 2017: Onyx Prime isn't returning. He's already back. And Pyra Magna came face to face with him years ago. Optimus Prime issue 16: Onyx kills Alpha Trion, and frames Soundwave for it. And then issue 17 reveals Onyx is actually Shockwave. Issues 18 and 19 continue the whamming: Shockwave survived Dark Cybertron and was thrown back to the beginning of the Age of Primes, killed the real Onyx and took his place, and engineered all of Cybertron's history in a Stable Time Loop. And that prophecy of Starscream being the chosen one? It's BS he made up so Cybertron wouldn't be able to stand against him. | |

| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_8ef5ae81 | comment |
The NAILs hate and fear the Autobots and Decepticons after the Great War. Despite this, they seem to think that antagonizing them is very much a good idea. The Autobots (usually) have a strict moral code that keeps them from either beating the crap out of the NAILs to keep them in line or just leaving them to be slaughtered, but the Decepticons make clear that they're very much willing to break the NAILs' skulls open with their bare hands if they're provoked. In issue 1, Bumblebee actually has to kill Horri-Bull because Zetca felt the need to antagonize and provoke the massive Decepticon mobster who's at least two times his size. | |

The Dinobots (sans Grimlock) return in issue 8 after leaving Earth at the end of The Transformers: Maximum Dinobots. Alpha Trion returns after Dark Cybertron, having last been seen (chronologically) during Ironhide's miniseries. Bludgeon disappeared after Dark Cybetron. He finally returns in Redemption. Serena Bhawarney, from the Bumblebee miniseries, reappears in Optimus Prime issue 11. Thanks to the intervening years, she's grown up since her last appearance. After being absent from the title since Combiner Wars, Prowl returns in Optimus Prime, accompanied by Wheelie and Garnak. | |

However, exactly when, where and how they met isn't clear. Shockwave's regenesis ores apparently landed on the same planets the Primes fled to. How he knew isn't explained. Optimus Prime issue 18 reveals the truth - he didn't. It's part of a Stable Time Loop. His future self orchestrated it so the Thirteen ended up on those planets (with the handwave that Alpha Trion got a separate planet despite never leaving Cybertron when Onyx chose one for him. | |

Big Bad | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_970c790a | comment |
Shockwave is responsible for a good chunk of the problems in the IDW comics. His regeneration Experiment was the reason for the Ultra-Energon/Ore-13 which kicked off the conflict on Earth, as well as the resurrection of Thunderwing. This series establishes him as the one who seeded a particularly nasty Regenesis Ore on the planet Kup was trapped on in his spotlight, which lead to the death of many Autobots, and Guzzle's subplot in Wreckers, and his pods have driven the Syndromica arcs. He's also responsible for the events in Spotlight Wheelie, his pod having altered the time stream. He downgrades himself to Big Bad in the Dark Cybertron Arc where he takes a direct role. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_984ef9ef | comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: As Zeta unleashes the Omega Destructors on Nyon, Starscream wonders out loud if he and Megatron aren't more similar than the Decepticon leader had realised. Before the war Orion believed that he and the miner-cum-revolutionary Megatron had a lot in common with their ideas on freedom and on taking on the caste system and senate. As the conflict began building, Orion learned more and more that he and Megatron were irreconcilably different. Post-war, Megatron's pulled a Heel–Face Turn, and many characters accuse Optimus of becoming a fascist in-lieu of Megatron and the previous Primes when he annexes Earth. Him going to an alien world and forcibly including them into a government without their or the government's consent lead many to compare him to the Knight Templar phase of the Decepticons. Galvatron compares his annexation of Earth as something Prowl would do. The President later notes that Optimus wouldn't have been out of place in the Civil Rights Movement. An infuriated Needlenose points this out with regards to Soundwave and Starscream, noting that given Soundwave was seconds away from murdering Starscream to keep him away from control of the surviving Decepticons, the two only do things for the adulation/attention of others (albeit Soundwave genuinely believes it's for a greater good). | |

Sibling Fusion: Oiler and Slide are twin siblings who have a shared alt-mode of a fuel truck (Oiler is the front half while Slide is the back half). When Oiler was killed during the Junkion invasion, Slide was left unable to transform and very bitter as Optimus had made peace with the Junkions. | |

Greater-Scope Villain | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: Shockwave is responsible for a good chunk of the problems in the IDW comics. His regeneration Experiment was the reason for the Ultra-Energon/Ore-13 which kicked off the conflict on Earth, as well as the resurrection of Thunderwing. This series establishes him as the one who seeded a particularly nasty Regenesis Ore on the planet Kup was trapped on in his spotlight, which lead to the death of many Autobots, and Guzzle's subplot in Wreckers, and his pods have driven the Syndromica arcs. He's also responsible for the events in Spotlight Wheelie, his pod having altered the time stream. He downgrades himself to Big Bad in the Dark Cybertron Arc where he takes a direct role. Onyx and Nexus Prime. Pretty much everything from Season 2 onwards is in some way related to or caused by them, even though one's long dead and the other is missing. And then it turns out Onyx is Shockwave. | |

Eldritch Location: LV-117 became this as a result of Shockwave's Regensis project. Though the natives eventually managed to stabilize the planets position in the time stream. The wilderness surronding New Iacon. It's filled with mutated animals and gives off a signal that drives people crazy if they spend to long in it, before making them combine together. Subverted in issue 14 where its strange properties are revealed to be caused by Megatron and his Decepticon loyalists. Onyx Prime's modern day hideout is a dead planet orbiting a black hole. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: In issue 8, Wheeljack suggests something can't possibly be controlling Prowl, then wonders about why no-one in Iacon is afflicted by the problems outside the city. He initially figures it's something to do with all the people there. He changes his mind seconds later. It soon turns out he was wrong on the former, right on the later. Something destroyed LV-117, Jhiaxus makes mention of "true chaos" coming, and the MTMTE Annual has Cyclonus making mention of Primus's opposite. Whatever this thing is (probably Unicron), it's coming and it can destroy entire planets with ease. Before all that, issue 31 of the previous series establishes that Wheelie saw "The Great Destroyer", one of Unicron's titles. Notably, when LV-117 is shown in the middle of destruction, the sky is red and things are being dragged upward by something. Like how Unicron destroyed Lithone back in the 1986 film. One of the teaser pages for the release of the comic features Bombshell, with the subtitle Takes Control, alluding to his ability to control the minds of others. Not to mention his role controlling Prowl, and, by extension, the new Devastator. The Constructions' survival is foreshadowed when their heads are enveloped in flame as opposed to simply exploding, like Horri-Bull's. During the same issue, Prowl's internal monologue stops after his confrontation with Bombshell. During the "City on Fire" arc, Shockwave goes missing while everyone's busy. Turns out a few issues later he'd buggered off with Dreadwing to attend to his own plans. During Shockwave's flashbacks in Issue #17, one of the corpses hanging from the ceiling has a black-and-yellow striped torso resembling a bumblebee. Guess who Shockwave kills at the climax of Dark Cybertron? Blackrock's very name, even before the fact he doesn't remember his past. A black rock is an onyx, and he's an unwitting agent of Onyx Prime. While talking with Spike, Blackrock tells him an angel showed him a world of rust. Rust turns out to be a big thing with Onyx Prime. Optimus' vision in issue 50 is filled with it. One panel has a Titan's hand bursting out of the desert. A few issues later, Optimus raises Metrotitan. The last panel has him holding Galvatron's head in one hand. Five issues later, all that's left of Galvatron is his head, which Optimus displays to the U.S. President. "And he shall stand alone, but not alone." From issue #50 onward, Optimus's actions and deeds start alienating his long-time friends and allies. Alternatively, if it's referring to Onyx, he's alone... but also has the Liege working with him nearby. "And thus the adversary will rise." The end of First Strike has Unicron awoken thanks to Joe Colton's attack on Cybertron, provoked by Optimus' bringing Earth into the Council of Worlds. "A black star." The phrase becomes associated with Onyx Prime, and the black hole his base of operations lives in orbit of. On returning to Cybertron, Onyx offers to fix the problems with energon everyone's been having since Colton's attack, despite having shown no scientific inclination previously. And then the big reveal comes along. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Swerve mentions that he and Blurr were gonna open a bar once the war is over. Swerve opens a bar aboard the Lost Light, and Blurr opens one in Cybertron. In issue 12, Staxx tries drag Wheeljack to Turmoil. Back in Drift, Staxx was shown to be one of Turmoil's troops in the war. In an early issue of MTMTE, Bludgeon was said to have once created an army of "deviants and half-forms". Come Redemption, he's messing with mad science again, messing with Trypticon's energon. Issue 52 contains the second mention anywhere ever that Spike has a sister who died in the Decepticon invasion. In Optimus Prime issue 10, a descendant of John Henry appears, mentioning her ancestor had some encounters with Cybertronians (well, brainwashed Eukarians, but hey.) It doesn't have anything to do with the story, it's just to remind / inform folks that Hearts of Steel has been folded into the IDW continuity. | |

Merchandise-Driven | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_a19cce82 | comment |
Merchandise-Driven: Transformers has always been this way. In this series the characters here are initially reworked to look like their aligned bodies partially to promote Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. In Universe the explanation given for the change could harken back to The Transformers: All Hail Megatron, where the earth forms lacked the traction to cope on Cybertron's smooth surface, making the upgrades necessary. Bumblebee gets badly damaged and is upgraded into a new form, which just happens to look like that Goldfire Bumblebee that had come out at the same time. Waspinator gets a new toy for the "Thrilling Thirty" line, so Waspinator gets dragged into Jhiaxus' schemes. Meanwhile, Rattrap gets his own toy, so the vermin suddenly shows up working with Starscream. Rhinox as well, with him showing up in a random extended cameo in Alpha Trion's flashback. Starscream becomes particularly prone to this, often changing bodies to match his newest toy. During Dark Cybertron, Arcee changed her colour-scheme to red, since that was the initial plan for her toy. When it actually became the more standard (((pink))), Arcee changes back again. And when she got another toy in the Combiner Hunters set, Arcee spends two issues going around looking like that toy. | |

Combining Mecha | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_a950584d | comment |
Combining Mecha: The concept is touched on more heavily here than any other point in the IDW storyline. Monstructor returns as Jhiaxus' lackey, the Aerialbots are found fused and insane in the woods, and the Constructicons return, although as Scrapper is dead they can't really do much combination-wise. Turns out that Megatron's trying to rectify that. After seeing D-Void use the energies of Cybertron to form a massive combiner in the previous ongoing, he sets his sights on harnessing them, enlisting Bombshell and forcibly subjecting Prowl and the Aerialbots to the process before becoming a component of Devastator himself. The flashbacks to Shockwave's past show that Megatron had in fact brought Shockwave in to the Decepticons for the very purpose of making a Decepticon combiner. The second "season" explores the concept further, with the appearance of the new combiner Victorion, and the ancient artefact known as "the Enigma of Combination". | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_acf33d00 | comment |
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Shockwave thinks of this of Proteus, concerning the Shadowplay performed on him. In this case, a villain fixes someone else to become a bigger villain. It's not hard to see why. Pre-Shadowplay Shockwave was merely dodgy and untrustworthy. Post-Shadowplay Shockwave becomes The Unfettered, willing to do anything to anyone, without those pesky emotions getting in the way. While it served as a useful object lesson to the rest of the Earthbound Decepticons (especially after Starscream's attempted coup with Ore-13) seven years ago, it turns out Megatron probably shouldn't have left the torn apart remains of Ramjet scattered around various human installations since the Earth Defense Command was able to get ahold of enough of those discarded remains to put together a whole drone army of Ramjet knockoffs along with their Thrust-based drones. | |

Issue 4 drops a bridge on the remaining Constructicons and Bombshell. In issue 11 Triggerhappy is killed by Arcee without fanfare, which comes off as bizarre considering she spares and captures the other Decepticons, and Arcee admitted that she did it for fun. In issue 12 Staxx is unceremoniously blown to bits by Prowl to show that Prowl has gone completely off the deep end. The end of issue #13 reveals that the Constructicons, and Bombshell at least, are still alive. | |

Face–Heel Turn: Subverted with Prowl and Arcee. It's revealed the former was being mind-controlled by Bombshell, and the latter was merely playing the Fake Defector card in order to kill Bombshell and break said mind control. In the post-Dark Cybertron comics, Scoop has apparently defected to the Decepticons. Later on, on Earth, we discover former Autobot human ally Jimmy (((Pink))) has developed a grudge against all Cybertronians for the death of Hunter O'Nion and then just up and abandoning him and has joined forces with Spike Witwicky to fight them. | |

Based on a Great Big Lie: Starscream's claim of being the Chosen One comes from a prophecy that Metrotitan delivered, but during Season 2 Galvatron mutters that it was just something Alchemist Prime had said while tripping on bad engex. And then in Optimus Prime, Alpha Trion recounts that Alchemist told him he got the prophecy from Onyx Prime, who'd just made it up. Eventually, it turns out everything about the Primes was something Shockwave made up, as a social experiment. | |

Irony | |

Irony: Flatline states that the Aerialbots are considered heroes for decrying factionalism and stopping Devastator. While the latter is true, the Aerialbots left because of their factionalism, with Silverbolt accusing and trying to murder Dirge because of the explosions on the grounds that he was a Decepticon. Issue 21 reveals that Megatron never trusted Soundwave and was always suspicious of him, constantly suspecting that Soundwave was spying for the highest bidder. At the same time, we learn that Soundwave is easily the most loyal Decepticon in existence, and part of the issue involves Soundwave standing by Megatron's beliefs even when no one else does. Needlenose angrily declares he refuses to work with the people who killed the only being he ever loved... he doesn't know that the I/C Chips were disabled when Bumblebee tried to use them, and Soundwave was the one who killed Horri-Bull to keep up appearances. | |

Boom, Headshot! | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_c3585f4a | comment |
Boom, Headshot!: Prowl "kills" Bombshell this way, and later does the same to Wheeljack under Bombshell's control. Wheeljack barely survives. When the battle for the City wages on, Bluestreak is shot in the head (having part of his crest blown off) and left in a puddle of his blood, and Hipotank is fatally shot in the face with Turmoil's cannon. | |

Hope Spot | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: From Starscream, at least, during Optimus Prime issue 18. Devastator and Metrotitan's words convince him that maybe he's Megatronus reborn, justifying his life-long belief that he truly is special. And then Shockwave reveals he made up the whole prophecy of the Chosen One solely so Starscream would end up in charge of Cybertron, making a crap job of it. | |

Fallen Hero: Nova Prime. The earliest points in the timeline show that he used to be a genuine Nice Guy who truly believed in helping others. Over time he devolved into egotism and a belief that he knew better than everyone else. When he arrived at the Benzuli Expanse, the Darkness exploited his egomania to corrupt him completely. | |

Big Bad Wannabe | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_c67af1b0 | comment |
Big Bad Wannabe: Ratbat tries to use his old position as senator to take control. It gets him killed within three issues. Spike Witwicky views himself as a super-badass revolutionary who's a major threat to Cybertronians and the government. In reality he's a brat who relied on his daddy's connections to get anywhere in life and those who even acknowledge his existence hate him or view him as a slightly annoying punk who needs to slapped around a bit so he shuts up. Prowl wants him dead or captured, but out of a personal grudge rather than any belief that Spike is dangerous. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Many characters have accused Prowl's outright fanatical hatred for the NAILS to be based upon the fact that he was all ready to bail on Cybertron and become a NAIL himself upon the rise of Zeta Prime, but was forced against his will to aid Optimus Prime in staging a coup against the evil Zeta Prime and was guilted by Optimus to become his second-in-command. Since Prowl was unable to cut and run like he wanted to, he wants to punish all of the Cybertronians who did for not having to endure millions of years of unending war like he did. | |

Arcee again pins Sideswipe to a wall during her time aiding the Decepticon takeover... only to reveal it was carefully done to avoid vitals so he could provide surprise fire support for her. | |

Two Lines, No Waiting: Throughout the first year of the series we switch back and forth between following Bumblebee's attempts to keep Cybertron at peace and Optimus Prime's hunt for Jhiaxus, Bludgeon, and Monstructor. Third Line, Some Waiting: After Dark Cybertron, it splits between the Decepticons and the Earth Defense Force's storyline, Optimus and his team's storyline and Starscream and the others on Cybertron. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Played With for the 13. They're present here as in many other continuities, but their status as gods or servants of god have been changed (the creation stories featured in MTMTE being the myths). Now the thirteen are great warlords who united Cybertron and each leads a different faction that has different physiologies (beast modes, combiners, etc). They're closer to normal Transformers than another continuity, but there's a lot of ambiguity as to how they were able to diversify Cybertron and their abilities to do so. Galvatron says it's magic, Jhiaxus believes its science. That said, Alpha Trion, one of said Thirteen, claims the items of the Thirteen are beyond normal Cybertronian technology. In Robots in Disguise issue 50, Optimus has a prophetic dream, seeing several events that come true over the events of the next several years. Despite Optimus Prime and Unicron revealing most of the things about the Primes as being baloney, this never gets a handwave of any kind. | |

When Marrissa Faireborn and one of her soldiers shows up at his Tokyo offices after the Onyx launch is interrupted by Spike Witwicky, Blackrock isn't angry that Spike has potentially leaked the existence of the EDC/Decepticon alliance to the public, he's mad that only two EDC agents showed up to investigate since if there'd been more, it would have resulted in an even larger social media boom regarding the Onyx interface. He then warns Marrissa that the EDC wouldn't exist without his support, expecting them to fall in line to catch Spike. | |

The second season also reveals that the Slingshot component of Superion was killed when Devastator ripped Superion apart (and so new character Alpha Bravo can take Slingshot's place.) Suberted with Bumblebee, who was revealed to be alive in the 2017 annual. Optimus Prime ends with Sideswipe, Alpha Trion, Scoop and the Constructicons, Cosmos, Laserbeak, Soundwave, and even Optimus himself gone thanks to Unicron. | |

Something destroyed LV-117, Jhiaxus makes mention of "true chaos" coming, and the MTMTE Annual has Cyclonus making mention of Primus's opposite. Whatever this thing is (probably Unicron), it's coming and it can destroy entire planets with ease. Before all that, issue 31 of the previous series establishes that Wheelie saw "The Great Destroyer", one of Unicron's titles. Notably, when LV-117 is shown in the middle of destruction, the sky is red and things are being dragged upward by something. Like how Unicron destroyed Lithone back in the 1986 film. | |

Prowl lashes out at Chromedome for the botched and forced memory extraction that eventually led to Bombshell hijacking him, because to him it was personal. Never mind that the only reason Chromedome did that was because Prowl was trying to blackmail Chromedome with personal information. Or that he generally does things like that all the time (he actually caused problems over in MTMTE by ordering the Diplomatic Corps to try and brainwash Chief Justice Tyrest into retiring). Galvatron rails about how combiners are unnatural. This doesn't stop him turning his troops into one. | |

The Unfettered | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_d839c530 | comment |
Shockwave thinks of this of Proteus, concerning the Shadowplay performed on him. In this case, a villain fixes someone else to become a bigger villain. It's not hard to see why. Pre-Shadowplay Shockwave was merely dodgy and untrustworthy. Post-Shadowplay Shockwave becomes The Unfettered, willing to do anything to anyone, without those pesky emotions getting in the way. | |

Arc Welding | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_dba4ae4f | comment |
Arc Welding: It is a John Barber book, after all. Probably the best example is from issue 9 which deals with a longstanding IDW continuity error: the Reflector trio kept appearing alive despite having died in "Spotlight: Wheelie." The issue's end reveals that the Reflectors we saw die in "Spotlight Wheelie" were time travelers. The portal to the Dead Universe on Gorlam Prime, the mysterious ruins Hardhead and Arcee found in "Heart of Darkness" and Shockwave's ores get tied together: The ore (Ore-2: Death) created the portal, allowing the Dead Universe a foothold - since as was established in "Chaos", it needs death to get through - and the city is actually a slumbering Titan. The mysterious crystals of the planet Kup crashed on in Spotlight: Kup are connected to Shockwave's Regenesis program. Optimus Prime Issue 18 implicitly confirms the long-running fan suspicion that the Solstar Order's homeworld had one of Shockwave's Regenesis ores on it. Unicron confirms it. The very final issue has Arcee mention that after her transition she tried seeking out Anode, from Lost Light, only to find the Blacksmith had disappeared mysteriously, which was part of the reason for her infamous Ax-Crazy depiction in the Furman era. | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: Thrust and Ramjet both died on Earth in previous series; Ramjet was dismembered by Megatron in his self-titled Spotlight issue seven years ago and Thrust was killed by humans burning him alive in the Ongoing. Issue #32 shows that their remains were collected by the EDC and used to build an army of transforming drones based on the two Coneheads. During "Redemption", the Dinobots unwittingly walk all over the frozen body of Trypticon. He comes back in a big way during the follow-up "Salvation". Rhinox, who briefly appears in a minor role in Alpha Trion's flashback in issue #34, and then disappears. Until Optimus Prime, where he turns out to still be alive and working for Onyx Prime in the present day. | |

Next issue they're hurt but fine; Arcee is just dinged up rather than having her chassis caved-in, and Sideswipe's arms are not only fine, but his serious head wound has been changed to a, still serious but not fatal, chest wound. Subverted, with Sideswipe, as his injuries do turn out to be fatal. | |

Flanderization: Galvatron, to a degree. When the original IDW run started, he was a pretty intelligent tactician under Furman, as series progressed (Infestation, Heart of Darkness, et al), he's been losing that characteristic and replaced with bloodthirsty savage barbarian, to the point it got retconned to be that during the Prime Wars. Justified in that the D-Void entity was suppressing his savagery in favour of his smarts. Without it influencing him, he's back to his normal self. | |

Hate Sink: Spike Witwicky. In a setting with the deranged murderous Galvatron, the morally questionable humans, the still quite evil Decepticons, and Prowl, Spike is framed as just a loathsome prick. His attempts at seeming badass and anti-heroic are undercut by his selfish smug "bad boy" nature, and him bragging about his work for his country before executing the harmless Mini-Constructicon. The Decepticons, Constructicons, the humans and Prowl all despise him, and Blackrock's self-serving dismissal of him as a punk who's functioning as a thorn in everyone's side, is an accurate summation of his worth. | |

0% Approval Rating: The people of Earth are united in opposition to Optimus Prime's annexation. He has to save the planet a couple of times just to move the needle to grudging resignation. | |

One-Steve Limit: There are two different Cybertronians named Skydive, an Autobot and a Decepticon respectively. The Decpeticon is murdered and when Prowl is called in to investigate he repeatedly confuses the two. | |

Lesser of Two Evils: Blurr pretty much quotes this word for word to Starscream, telling him that's the only reason why they tolerate him as their self-appointed leader. | |

Surprisingly Sudden Death | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_f12c6fb1 | comment |
Hardhead's Surprisingly Sudden Death in Dark Cybertron is mentioned by Arcee as one of the reasons she's so anti-social. He died, and no-one really seemed to notice, or even care. Except her. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
| The Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Comic Book) / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Invoked and Zig-Zagged. There are numerous Decepticons who've caused all sorts of trouble during the war, and the Autobots hesitate to try them for fear of looking too oppressive to the neutral majority, something which Metalhawk uses to his advantage. Metalhawk is extremely slow to trust Turmoil, having first hand accounts to what he's done. Blanket amnesty is offered to many, and tensions flare because of it. Tankor, who tried to nuke all the Autobots in New York, and Swindle who orchestrated much of the conflict in the Ongoing have their deeds looked past because everyone needs to come together in the new world order. | |

Shockwave and Dreadwing go off to initiate Shockwave's plan, and the Decepticons under Soundwave chafe, with Astrotrain and Blitzwing wanting to go after Starscream and fight Soundwave for leadership. Needlenose has to calm them down, but he points out that as a warrior force, they're all done. | |

Darkest Hour | |

Darkest Hour: Issue 14, fittingly named "Before the Dawn". Megatron is stronger than ever, leading the Decepticon forces and the new Devestator, with Prowl at its head, to destroy the last remaining Autobots, taking Cybertron for Decepticons, once and for all. And the only thing standing in his way are Ironhide, the damaged Dinobots, and an insane Superion. Issue 16. The Autobots manage to stop Devastator and Megatron, but Starscream kills Metalhawk, gets the upper hand and casts the Autobots and even the other Decepticons into exile. Issue 47: Jazz, Kup, Sky Lynx and Jetfire are missing, being melted alive by Blackrock. Arcee, Sideswipe and a still-damaged Alpha Trion are facing a Decepticon boarding party, and Tracks is bleeding out after being shot by Brawl. | |

Faking the Dead | |

The Deceptions all have inhibitor/deterrence chips in their heads to prevent them from using their powers and transforming. If they get out of line, their heads will explode. When Horri-bull almost beats a neutral to death, Bumblebee detonates his chip. Ultimately subverted with the Constructicons in Issue #4: They show up alive and well later, despite Prowl detonating their chips, but it turns out they were Faking the Dead with a little help from Prowl himself. | |

Brick Joke: Partway through "Conquerors", Ghost!Bumblebee calls Starscream a demagogue, and Starscream states he doesn't know what that means (not in a coy way, he literally doesn't know the meaning). A few issues later, Starscream mentions his vocabulary's been improving, thanks to a word-a-day calendar. During season 2, Soundwave has a conversation with Thundercracker while randomly standing among a herd of elephants. During Optimus Prime, he absently mentions that they're his favourite Earth creature (right after humans). | |

Shown Their Work: Issue 21 reveals that Soundwave has a form of Synesthesia, a neurological condition that essentially causes one to display a "hidden sense" and perceive letters, numbers, smells, and other such things as colored. All in all, it's portrayed fairly realistically even with a moment where Soundwave has to step away from a group of Decepticons because their emotional behavior is causing him to suffer a sensory overlord. | |
