The Worf Effect | |
Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Team ROZE is described as being the best Huntress team in Atlas, with their sudden (and horrific) deaths at the hands of the disguised Decepticons being a major shock to Professor Dunder and General Ironwood. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: Team ROZE's deaths at the hands of the disguised Stunticons are incredibly morbid and unpleasant, to say the least. To start, Esmerelda gets crushed to death under a Decepticon's stomp, what's left of her splattering over the team's leader. Then Rosalyn gets brutally bisected at the waist before her skull gets cracked. Zephyr ends up impaled on a pipe and sent flying into a crate of Fire Dust, which then explodes, burning her alive. Finally, Opal dies grieving and terrified as the Stunticons collectively surround and vaporize her. | |

Crossover Relatives: Thanks to Mesothulas working with Pietro, combining the PENNY Project with the Decepticons' efforts to produce Techno-Organics, Browning (of Transformers: Super-God Masterforce fame) and Penny are siblings. | |

Frame-Up | |
Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_2d363f63 | comment |
Frame-Up: Megatron sets up a false flag operation in Chapter 2 of Falling Stars that sees the Stunticons disguise themselves as the Autobots and launching an attack on an Atlesian power plant. The aftermath convinces Ironwood to lend his support to the Decepticons, unaware that they caused it in the first place. | |

Bad Boss | |
Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: Megatron is this to the Decepticons barring Soundwave, since his go-to method of improving his troops is to dismantle whomever he sees as the weak link. In the aftermath of the Stunticons' Frame-Up mission, he states that had the Huntresses of Remnant been mere foot soldiers, he would have dismantled Breakdown for getting heavily damaged by them. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Zeta Prime in IDW was a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who hid his monstrous nature behind a benevolent facade. Here, that facade is completely genuine, with him being a noble, heroic Prime whose death is treated as a tragic shock to all. This is actually Truer to the Text, as he was portrayed as benevolent back in the G1 episode, "Five Faces of Darkness". | |

Manipulative Bastard | |
Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_40c57041 | comment |
Manipulative Bastard: Megatron's bread and butter is deception, and he more than shows it by way of manipulating Ironwood into thinking that the Autobots are seeking conquest of Remnant, as well as keeping the more idealistic Decepticons in line by keeping them from discovering anything that'd shake their views. | |

Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_4e7c4536 | comment |
Wham Line: Chapter 5 of Falling Stars ends with Tamara Ustic telling Watts about a college who'd be far more appreciative of his work than Ironwood. Suffice to say, anyone familiar with Watts' role in RWBY knows exactly who she's talking about. | |

Obliviously Evil: Thundercracker is left completely unaware of the atrocities that the Decepticons have committed, and Megatron is content to keep things that way to further manipulate him into his service. | |

Drowning My Sorrows: During the first chapter of Epiphets of Megatron, Megatron (back when he was D-16) first meets Termagax when she's drinking herself into a stupor in the wake of Zeta Prime's assassination. | |

Consummate Liar: Megatron proves to be a very effective manipulator, easily swaying Ironwood to his side and convincing the newly selected General that the Autobots are villains through a well-planned Frame-Up. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: In most adaptations, Prowl's normally characterized as a raging jerkass Straw Vulcan who strictly adheres to an authoritarian mindset. In this story, Prowl's more of a Nice Guy who goes against orders to protect the innocent. | |

Token Good Teammate: Thundercracker may be a Decepticon, but he's a genuine Noble Demon who fights because he truly believes the Autobots to be the evil ones. Unfortunately, his idealism makes him a prime target for Megatron's manipulations. | |

Corrupted Character Copy | |
Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_922ec657 | comment |
Corrupted Character Copy: Downplayed, but present. Word of God states that the idea behind Team ROZE is that they're in part a version of Team RWBY who never truly overcame their early issues in the series. So, it's less "corrupted" and more "flawed". | |

Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_99926ad3 | comment |
Inter-Service Rivalry: Between Professor George Dunder and General James Ironwood. The two represent the Huntsman system and military of Atlas respectively, and they both despise each other. George accuses Ironwood of having played a role in getting his best Huntress team killed. Ironwood, for his part, covers evidence of Cybertronian activity in Atlas and tries to keep George from getting involved so he doesn't discover them. | |

Adaptational Jerkass | |
Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_a91078ea | comment |
Adaptational Jerkass: Ultra Magnus is a lot ruder than most incarnations. The worst you can say about him is that he's usually very strict and adherent to protocol, but is a Benevolent Boss and A Father to His Men nonetheless. In this fic, he's more of a Mean Boss who's far more admonishing of the Autobots under his command. Regardless, he's still a good bot when all's said and done and proves his devotion to his troops when the chips are down. | |

Hypocrite | |
Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: Ironwood argues that, as Penny's a prototype weapon with Atlesian technology infused with her cells, she's property of the Atlas military. He completely ignores that, as he's now a cyborg whose body is mostly comprised of Atlesian technology, the same could be applied to himself. Professor Dunder wastes no time in calling him out on this, and it pretty much forces him to give Penny full citizenship and rights lest he dig himself deeper. | |

Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Prowl takes up a similar role to Mirage in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, saving Koa from the cops in a chase evocative of that film. Prowl's more rude traits get passed on to Ultra Magnus, who also gains attributes of Optimus' characterization in Rise of the Beasts, such as his focus on maintaining the Autobots and his disinterest in humanity. | |

Deconstructed Character Archetype | |
Dust and Decepticons (Fanfic) / int_ec9a5f50 | comment |
Deconstructed Character Archetype: Optimus Prime's status as a Messianic Archetype gets torn apart in the first chapter. While Optimus is considered by his troops to be the Arisen and is as much of the Big Good as he always is, this has led to them practically worshipping him and, consequentially, being blind to the fact that he most certainly isn't infallible. Case and point, when Optimus fights Megatron in the first chapter, rather than provide covering fire, the rest of the Autobots simply cheer him on, believing he'll win. The result? Every Decepticon starts firing on Optimus and he gets beaten within an inch of his life by Megatron. | |
