Dirty Coward | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: When Minitron returns to Steeljaw with only one stasis pod, Steeljaw's first (and correct) assumption is he encountered the Autobots, then ran away. Steeljaw even calls Minitron's justification (excuse) for failure "cowardly". Given he was in control of Grimlock at the time, by far the strongest bot of the group who could easily be capable of curb stomping them all if he wanted to, Minitron definitely doesn't come across as making the best of arguments in his favour. Clampdown is even worse, actively betraying fellow Decepticons to Autobot authorities to avoid punishment, both on Earth and Cybertron. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: In True Colors Bumblebee seems somewhat dismissive of Russell's theory that Grimlock is being controlled somehow. This takes place in the same continuity where Bumblebee was possessed by the disembodied spark of Megatron at one point. Actually Sideswipe asked Bumblebee this question but he does not answer. He just gets to work on finding Grimlock. So it would stand that after his own mind control experience he doesn't want to remember it nor would want to know about other forms of the process. Played straight in the season 3 episode Sphere of Influence, where Optimus Prime dismisses the Sphere of Doradus as a myth and a metaphor for the destructive power of greed. This coming from a guy who made use of two mythical items (the Star Saber and the Forge of Solus Prime) and battled the Transformer God of Evil in the previous series. Unsurprisingly, it turns out the Sphere is real and really does have a map that leads to the mythical city of Doradus (which among other things contains a fountain of unlimited Energon), but Bumblebee's team stupidly and casually destroy it without bothering to even confirm its authenticity. | |

Cel Shading | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_14931ba5 | comment |
Cel Shading: All robot and human characters are CGI with a dose of cel-shading on them to make them more suitable to a painted background. Strangely, small creatures like birds and fish are cartoonized that makes them look weird when compared to their cel-shaded counterparts. | |

The Ghost | |

The Ghost: Megatron, who went into self exile in Prime's finale. Many of the Decepticons' schemes revolve around finding him so that he can lead them again or, in Starscream's case, to get revenge for all the abuse suffered under his command. However, Megatron never puts in an appearance in the series of any kind. | |

Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Like most depictions of the faction, the Decepticons rally behind the strongest among their number. This is best exemplified when all the Decepticons under Glowstrike's command immediately shift allegiance to Steeljaw after he takes her out. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: In "Enemy of My Enemy", we get a brief look at the list of Autobots blacklisted by the Council, including those that appeared in the show, Prime, and Rescue Bots. However, quite a number of them are Autobots that never appeared in the shows, and the list includes dead characters (that is, Tailgate, Cliffjumper, and Seaspray). Though since this was a visual accompanying Optimus's explanation about how the Council has been discriminating against the Autobots, it can be assumed that it wasn't accurate and is meant to be taken in spirit or it didn't show everyone who survived up to the present day. | |

A House Divided | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_21889507 | comment |
A House Divided: In "Decepticon Island, Part 2", as part of his plan to take control of Glowstrike's army, Steeljaw notes that the Decepticons under her command are divided between wanting to conquer Earth and wanting to leave the planet, and that some of them are also displeased with her leadership. In the second season finale, Optimus and Bumblebee butt heads over who can more adequately lead the Autobots, with Optimus arguing that he is more experienced, and Bumblebee expressing greater knowledge of his teammates and Steeljaw. Bumblebee even lampshades this trope. | |

Palette Swap | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: A few generic Decepticons seen in Glowstrike and Scorponok's lair are recolored versions of Underbite, the Cyclone Minicons, Airachnid, and the Vehicons. Also, Razorpaw shares the same body type as "Fancyclaws", minus a tail. Swelter and Glacius are this for each other, which is not surprising, as their toys originate from the same mold, which has simply been recolored between characters. In fact, most Season 2 Decepticons are recolors of Season 1 characters, sometimes with new heads. This is at least in part a reference to the practice of doing the same with the toys. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: While a possible coincidence, the series' theme of Autobots facing enemies with beast-like forms, coupled with the name of its subtitle, brings to mind another Transformers' series. Grimlock is not the first Dinobot to start out among the villains. In the first episode, Optimus's spirit helps Bumblebee get to Earth by showing him the planet engraved on a circular golden disk. Golden disks are a common plot device in Transformers media, going all the way back to Beast Wars. Sideswipe's primary weapon is a sword, which is evocative of the blades used by his live-action movie counterpart. In "Sideways", Strongarm's big embarrassing secret is a car wash, which alludes to a G1 comic storyline that the hardcore fans would consider a big embarrassing secret as well. The premise of a gorilla (Groundpounder) fighting a T. rex (Grimlock) has been done in Transformers before as Beast Wars fans can attest too. The new Dinobot Scowl holds firmly to the S- alliterative theme naming enforced for all Dinobots that aren't Grimlock, and in deference to Transformers: Age of Extinction, he's a completely original name and dinosaur species. Like Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, Megatronus, aka The Fallen, has a face and helmet that resembles the Decepticon insignia, has telekinetic powers and also fights using a staff as one of his weapons. He's also referred to as "the First Decepticon" akin to the movie, despite Megatron being the faction's founder in this universe. Grimlock's "crane mode" may be a nod to the Build Team member of the same name in the OTHER RID (though that Grimlock was a different construction vehicle, it was the same color). "Bumblebee's Night Off" features a battle between Bumblebee and Bisk in the middle of a rock concert, with the humans who witness the clash believing it to be All Part of the Show. This has shades of a similar conflict from #14 of the Marvel Comics series, appropriately named "Rock And Roll Out." "Brainpower" is an almost Whole-Plot Reference to the G1 episode "Grimlock's New Brain". In Season 3, Strongarm visits Mount St. Hilary, the first ever Autobot base on Earth. Mount St. Hilary is where the Ark crashed in the G1 Transformers series, starting the Autobots' presence on Earth to begin with. A novel reveals Drift's backstory as a Decepticon named Deadlock prior to his Heel–Face Turn, in akin to his IDW counterpart. Soundwave's new appearance in "Collateral Damage" is based off of his appearance in Transformers: Animated. The Autobot Mini-Cons from the toyline (e.g. Aerobolt and Hi-Test, Optimus Prime's Mini-Cons) are depicted working with the Decepticons initally before the Scavengers and Hi-Test do a Heel–Face Turn like in the U.K. comics and Transformers: Generation 2 depicted Catilla, Leadfoot and Manta Ray respectively as Decepticons who had a Heel–Face Turn and joined the Autobots. | |

Clampdown and Clawtrap, on the other hand, are more of a literal examples, lacking Bisk's humanoid shape and both looking like a straight-up robot crab. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Evil | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_323f135b | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Averted. Underbite, the Starter Villain, is able to take on and hold the entire team with his raw power, while consecutive villains, like Hammerstrike, can be beaten by one or two team members. The Big Bad, Steeljaw, is shown to be reasonably equal with Bumblebee, which would actually make him fairly weaker than most of the villains, but he compensates by being far more intelligent and resourceful. | |

Waking Up Elsewhere: The case for all of the Decepticons who break free from their stasis pods, only to find themselves on Earth. This is explored when Terrashock breaks free in a museum and finds himself confused and mystified by the showcasing of human culture. Springload, on the other hand, is so disoriented upon awakening that he believes himself to still be on Cybertron. | |

Extra-Strength Masquerade | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_3300f2be | comment |
Extra-Strength Masquerade: The Autobots and the Clay family can manage some truly absurd cover stories. In just one episode, Filch makes a bird nest in a public monument and later on they fight her on a well-traveled bridge with the excuse that they're "bird-catchers". The characters often use extremely flimsy cover stories to explain away their presence. Denny and Russell have claimed that the Autobots are simply giant animatronics multiple times. | |

Chekhov's News | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_371e0e27 | comment |
Chekhov's News: A minor example, but when it is first brought up in the Pilot, the Autobots are unaware of Underbite devouring Nuon City. Later, in Brainpower, Grimlock uses this information to respond to Simacore's question with a Mathematician's Answer. A more prominent example: in the episode Out Of The Shadows, Crustacion's stolen loot, the Shanix, was found by humans in the glacier back in the episode Defrosted. Jetstorm would later use that information to not only trick Shadow Raker into letting him and Slipstream free, but also recovering said loot so that humans would not discover anymore Cybertronians. | |

Keystone Army: The Decepticons downplay this trope after Megatron states his intention to disband the faction and goes into self-exile. While the lack of a central leadership does cause the faction to fragment into several smaller groups, all looking out for their own interests, they still remain a numerous and highly threatening force, contrary to Megatron's intentions. | |

| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_53c5f30e | comment |
Happy Ending Override: While Predaking hasn't officially made any appearances in this show yet, he's still subject to this, mainly due to Starscream managing to kill Darksteel and Skylynx, once again leaving Predaking as the last of his kind. Averted with Cyclonus and his compatriots. The Council's infiltration by Decepticons comes very close to rendering the Autobot's victory in the Great War meaningless, but they ultimately do foster a thriving society on Cybertron and their plans are thwarted before they can really get started. | |

A minor example, but when it is first brought up in the Pilot, the Autobots are unaware of Underbite devouring Nuon City. Later, in Brainpower, Grimlock uses this information to respond to Simacore's question with a Mathematician's Answer. | |

Broad Strokes | |

Broad Strokes: Like in Transformers: Prime, past fiction relating to the Transformers Aligned Universe is treated this way. Interestingly however, the series seems to be taking this approach to certain aspects of Prime itself and fiction relating to it (the Rage of the Dinobots and Beast Hunters comics as notable examples), despite being a direct sequel series. | |

Stumbling in the New Form | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_58075ef2 | comment |
Stumbling in the New Form: Due to a series of events (including being bathed by nuclear radiation and the presence of a so-called Crash Combiner), the Bee Team unexpectedly discover they can now combine (with Bumblebee forming the torso, Strongarm and Sideswipe the arms, Grimlock the legs and Drift the sword). Unlike traditional combiners, the resulting "Ultra Bee Team Combiner Form" apparently has no mind of its own, and so is completely useless unless the components are all united in purpose. | |

Random Transportation: For most of season 1, the Autobot's Space Bridge does not work reliably and is just as likely to send them somewhere random as opposed to where they want to go.

Ragtag Bunch of Misfits | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_75987da9 | comment |
Rag Tag Bunch Of Misfits: As opposed to Team Prime from the previous series, who were close enough to consider one another family, Bumblebee's unit consists of himself, a cadet-in-training, a "turbo-revving young punk", a Mini-con from a crashed vessel, and a criminal Dinobot, all of whom were more-or-less thrown together by circumstances of fate. Steeljaw's Pack is a villainous version of this. As opposed to the large, organized army from the previous show, Steeljaw's gang is made up of a failed revolutionary, a short-tempered mob boss, a lone bounty hunter with Mini-Con helpers, an egotistical bodybuilder, and a cowardly snitch. | |

Sealed Evil in Another World: Predecessor Villain Megatronus shows up halfway through the first season and kicks Big Bad Wannabe Steeljaw into a subordinate position despite being trapped in a prison dimension. He forcibly recruits Steeljaw and his followers into trying to find a way to free him. | |

Villain Decay | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_7bb844ec | comment |
Villain Decay: Steeljaw's pack is hit with this pretty hard in Sideways. 'Cons like Fracture, Underbite, and Thunderhoof have all given the Autobots a hard time alone, so together, you'd expect them to be even more dangerous. Well, you'd be wrong, the Bee team beats them quite soundlessly in their first match. | |

Bumblebee is afraid of disappointing Optimus, Strongarm is afraid of becoming a criminal herself, Sideswipe suffers from claustrophobia, Fixit is afraid of being deemed obsolete, and Grimlock is afraid of... kittens. | |

God of Evil | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_80cd1f62 | comment |
Played straight in the season 3 episode Sphere of Influence, where Optimus Prime dismisses the Sphere of Doradus as a myth and a metaphor for the destructive power of greed. This coming from a guy who made use of two mythical items (the Star Saber and the Forge of Solus Prime) and battled the Transformer God of Evil in the previous series. Unsurprisingly, it turns out the Sphere is real and really does have a map that leads to the mythical city of Doradus (which among other things contains a fountain of unlimited Energon), but Bumblebee's team stupidly and casually destroy it without bothering to even confirm its authenticity. | |

Trying to merge without the complete set risks destroying both parties. Luckily for the Autobots, he never got round to completing the experiment and didn't realise it was successful. | |

Denser and Wackier: Whilst the show is by no means fully silly, compared to its predecessor, it definitely doesn't take itself anywhere near as seriously. There's a more comical tone to it, with sound effects and exaggerated animation and expressions at times, and a good number of the Decepticons are a lot less threatening and murderous than before, some of them even downright silly with their animal-based forms. | |

Motormaster is ultimately this despite being one of the main villains of Combiner Force. His goals are revealed to be very simple, having more to do with petty road crimes than world domination. Even Menasor, the Stunticons' Combiner, is more of a Clipped-Wing Angel due to their lack of coordination, and end up losing to the much less experienced Ultra Bee. | |

Art-Shifted Sequel | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_93589d60 | comment |
Art-Shifted Sequel: The series uses an aggressive mixture of low-framerate, cel shaded CGI with hand-painted backgrounds and the occasional use of 2D particle effects like smoke clouds, as opposed to the full CGI of Prime. The art style has also changed a little. Whilst recognizable traits from the previous series are present, it also looks to be incorporating a little of the cartoony expression of Transformers: Animated as well as bearing some similarity to Transformers: Rescue Bots. | |

Leeroy Jenkins: Grimlock by far. Even though he gets along well with the others, his first (often only) thought is to jump into a fight and start punching. For all her obsession with the law, Strongarm's not above jumping into situations she's not fully prepared for. In the second part of the pilot, she shows signs of this by shooting at one of Underbite's lunches, thus ruining Bumblebee's sneak attack. Sideswipe is also prone to this due to his cocky attitude. | |

Big Bad | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_970c790a | comment |
Another issue is Megatronus, who was said to have left Cybertron after the death of Solus Prime as repentance. Here, he's a generic Big Bad with no mention of his previous interactions with Optimus Prime or self-imposed exile. His status as the "First Decepticon" also makes zero sense in this continuity, since the only connection he had to the group is that miner D-16 took the name Megatronus as a gladiator before shortening it down to Megatron. | |

Greater-Scope Villain | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: Like Unicron in the previous series, the finale of the first season brings in an ancient and far more dangerous evil to contend with; Megatronus, otherwise known as The Fallen. Despite leaving peacefully at the end of the previous series, Megatron is sometimes treated as this. When he briefly escaped from the Shadowzone, Soundwave's first order of business was to try to contact Megatron (and even this act is treated by Bumblebee as very bad news). Season 3 has the unknown benefactors on Cybertron, who are revealed to by five Decepticons and had released Steeljaw and 4 others, and want the Bee Team hunted down. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Bumblebee is now acting as a new Autobot leader, and he also has a much buffer, more physically imposing form. Looking at his new body head-on, he even seems to have a few design traits in common with Optimus Prime himself. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: As has always been consistent in the Transformers Aligned Universe, the planet Cybertron bears the exact same design as originated in Transformers: War for Cybertron. Tron Lines were a notable design feature of the Cybertronian forms of the characters in the games, and this series makes a return to using them more prominently. Bumblebee makes a reference to saving the universe from Starscream, Megatron and Dark Energon. Terrashock says he works for a Decepticon called Contrail. In the novel Exodus reveal a seeker called Contrail who was Council Secretary on the High Council in the days before the great war, but became one of Megatron's Decepticons. In Episode 17, the human soldiers can be seen piloting models of the armored truck from the M.A.S.K. division, the same model that Optimus Prime scanned for his second alt-mode back in Transformers Prime. In Episode 25 Bumblebee shouts Roll to the Rescue as his catch phrase before noting someone else is using it. In Episode 26 Megatronus's great plan involves using the energy of Unicron, dormant within the Earth's core, to crash him into Cybertron, the revelation about Unicron was a huge reveal back in Prime. During the Cyclone shorts, Slipstream mentions growing up on Luna-1, which was described as the homeland of the Minicons back in the novels. Portals is the episode with the most nods to Prime to date, featuring the return of Soundwave and Laserbeak, along with mentions of his entrapment in the Shadowzone. While trapped in the Shadowzone himself, Bumblebee namedrops Jack, Miko, and Raf and recalls their own prior imprisonment there. A season 2 ep has Bumblebee and Strongarm paralysed and then unknowingly impounded - alongside Knock Out. The Scavengers find The Dark Star Saber in the ocean which is where it and Megatron landed after Megatron's death in Transformers Prime episode Deadlock. In Guilty As Charged, Bumbleebee remembers the time his voice modulator was destroyed by Megatron in the previous series. Blastwave's voice modulator was destroyed, so he used Cybertronian Sign Language to warn the Bee Team about Nightra's treacherous motives. | |

You Don't Look Like You | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_a4e3759e | comment |
You Don't Look Like You: Most of the returning characters look quite different compared to their appearance in Transformers: Prime. The most prominent example has to be Starscream. Not only that he looks much bulkier compared to how he looks in the previous series, his color scheme is more similar to G1 Starscream as well. This is lampshaded by Fixit when he meets Starscream, noticing that his current appearance doesn't match the one from his records. Adding to the confusion, Bumblebee refers to it as "his original body". Though Bumblebee could be referring to Starscream's appearance in War For Cybertron, whose form and color scheme are more similar. | |

Third Party Stops Attack | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_b9368655 | comment |
Third Party Stops Attack: A turbocharged Underbite defeats three Autobots and Grimlock, then taunts them by slowly crushing the truck with their human ally inside. Then a hand lands on his shoulder and he turns around to see the one Autobot no Decepticon ever wants to meet alone: Optimus Prime! Who then tosses him into the nearby quarry one handed, knocking Underbite out (he gets to say "Ow" before passing out) and catches the truck with his other hand. | |

Tron Lines | |

Tron Lines were a notable design feature of the Cybertronian forms of the characters in the games, and this series makes a return to using them more prominently. | |

Nobody Here but Us Statues | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_b9918c48 | comment |
Nobody Here but Us Statues: Used by Grimlock and Fixit to conceal themselves if they can't hide when someone visits the junkyard. Righty does this when he infiltrates the scrapyard to free the rest of Chop Shop. And to drive the point home, he does this next to some cherub statues that he clashes against. | |

The Paralyzer | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_ba183b0e | comment |
The Paralyzer: In the first episode, before leaving Cybertron, Bumblebee specifically states that his gun is set on "stun". The guards' setting doesn't matter, as they had Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy training. | |

Equippable Ally: Along with turning his arms into various instruments, Fixit can turn himself into a Cybertronian-sized set of tweezers and likely other tools as well. The same applies to the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, who transform into specific weapons, but unlike Fixit, they can control your mind. Season 3 (alternately called Combiner Force) features the Activator Mini-Cons, which transform into engines that give the normal-sized Transformers enhanced weaponry in vehicle forms. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_c3648b87 | comment |
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Sideswipe has this with Strongarm and, to a lesser extent, Bumblebee. The only reason he's on the team is because they arrested him and brought him along in the pilot two-parter. His carefree attitude towards rules clashes with Strongarms heavy belief in obedience and Bumblebee's own attempts at projecting authority. Thunderhoof and Steeljaw clash frequently over orders and what to do with Clampdown. A lack of options and desperation is the only reason they're working together. | |

Big Bad Wannabe | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_c67af1b0 | comment |
Big Bad Wannabe: There's also one villain for every season who tries to make themselves a threat but are put in their place by the true villain. Zig-zagged with Steeljaw himself, who is still a very competent threat on any other given day, but proves to be in over his head when the more powerful Megatronus (one of the original Thirteen Primes) makes him his lackey, and when Steeljaw realizes his intentions to destroy the Earth, he's easily dispatched by the fallen Prime. He's able to play Glowstrike and usurp her to become Big Bad in the second season but by the third season, Soundwave, who's part of the Big Bad Ensemble for that season, knocks him down to size again after Steeljaw tried to attack him out of anger. Glowstrike is introduced as the leader of Decepticon Island in Season Two, but she's played like a fiddle by Steeljaw, and is powerless to stop him from usurping her when he gets ahold of the Decepticon Hunters. Clawtrap and the Scavengers are a threat to the Bee Team for the initial episodes of the mini-series but quickly fall to the wayside and become little more than a hindrance when Starscream makes his move. Motormaster is ultimately this despite being one of the main villains of Combiner Force. His goals are revealed to be very simple, having more to do with petty road crimes than world domination. Even Menasor, the Stunticons' Combiner, is more of a Clipped-Wing Angel due to their lack of coordination, and end up losing to the much less experienced Ultra Bee. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Sideswipe calls Clampdown "Krusty". Grimlock uses the same tail-sliding dropkick against Groundpounder as Godzilla uses in one of his file. The fight is also evocative of Godzilla's match against King Kong. When 'Bee tries the rally, "Let's roll to the rescue!", he discards it, saying that "Wait, no, somebody's already using that battle cry." Zizza's name sounds similar to DC Comics' first Queen Bee (Zazzala). Grimlock, on busting through a hangar wall with Chop Shop inside, preens for the camera while yelling "Oh, yeah!" In "Metal Meltdown," one of the items Kickback is searching for is a plush pony doll, a nod to My Little Pony, Hasbro's other long-lived franchise. In "Misdirection," Russel's magician costume resembles the Star Swirl the Bearded outfit worn by Twilight Sparkle in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "Luna Eclipsed." In "The Buzz on Windblade," Grimlock climbs an air control tower and swats at aircraft, a la King Kong. | |

"Bumblebee's Night Off" features a battle between Bumblebee and Bisk in the middle of a rock concert, with the humans who witness the clash believing it to be All Part of the Show. This has shades of a similar conflict from #14 of the Marvel Comics series, appropriately named "Rock And Roll Out." | |

Detachment Combat | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_d04265aa | comment |
Detachment Combat: Chop Shop can split apart into five robotic spiders — each of them seem to have a mind of their own. One of them even manages to make their escape even while the main body is frozen and later imprisoned inside of a stasis pod. Fracture and Drift's Minicon partners work similarly; they transform into parts of their bigger counterpart's armour and detach to fight. The difference is that they're actually characters in their own right, rather than merely extensions of their partner. | |

Failed Attempt at Scaring: In "Even Robots Have Nightmares", Sideswipe, Grimlock, and Strongarm are amazed that Russell is not scared by a horror movie and decide to scare him themselves. Sideswipe dresses up as a zombie and Grimlock dresses up as an axe murderer Decepticon who apparently hacked Strongarm to pieces (she just buried most of herself in the ground), both of which fail because Russell can see through their disguises. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Grimlock—or rather, how they don't seem to know each other despite being set in the same universe as Transformers: War for Cybertron (where Sideswipe was on a rescue mission with Optimus and 'Bee) and Fall of Cybertron (where Sideswipe piloted Jazz and Cliffjumper on a mission to rescue Grimlock and the other Dinobots). If they're supposed to be the same characters, Bumblebee should be asking what happened to them between leaving Cybertron and now that caused Sideswipe to be a reckless racer and Grimlock to be in prison, and if they're different characters with the same names, Bumblebee should've said something about them sharing the names of other bots he knows. Producer Adam Beechen later said that Grimlock is a common name among Dinobots and that RiD Grimlock isn't FoC Grimlock, but a different character. Sideswipe previously appeared in Transformers: War for Cybertron and its sequel with a clearly G1 influenced look. Sideswipe helped Optimus and Bumblebee pull a prison break in Kaon. He also appeared in the Exodus and Exiles prequel novels. TFWiki.net decided to presents the Sideswipes as separate characters as well. Another issue is Megatronus, who was said to have left Cybertron after the death of Solus Prime as repentance. Here, he's a generic Big Bad with no mention of his previous interactions with Optimus Prime or self-imposed exile. His status as the "First Decepticon" also makes zero sense in this continuity, since the only connection he had to the group is that miner D-16 took the name Megatronus as a gladiator before shortening it down to Megatron. | |

Animal Motifs | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_e2ccee25 | comment |
Animal Motifs: Most of the Decepticons exhibit this in this series, with the following tropes applying: Amphibian at Large: Springload is a Cybertronian frog, not to mention a Talkative Loon and a dangerous one at that. Angry Guard Dog: While Underbite resembles a giant dog, he is actually a gorgonopsian, an extinct protomammal with a doglike appearance. Two Palette Swap versions of him serve this role literally, standing guard outside Glowstrike and Scorponok's command room. Bat Out of Hell: Nightstrike is a bat-like Decepticon whose scream causes Transformers to witness their worst fear. Bears Are Bad News: Polarclaw, who as his name suggests, resembles a polar bear and was even found in the Arctic Circle. The Big Bad Wolf/Wolf Man: Steeljaw, who has a lupine appearance. Big Creepy-Crawlies: Kickback resembles a grasshopper. The second season introduces Saberhorn, who is based on a rhinoceros beetle, and Glowstrike, who apparently draws inspiration from fireflies. The third season introduces Shadow Raker, Drift's former master, whose alternate form is a mix of a spider and a beetle. Brutish Bulls: Terrashock, a Decepticon with buffalo-like features. Bully Bulldog: Silverhound, a Decepticon that resembles a bulldog. Extra Eyes: A so far unseen Decepticon that Grimlock decribes as covered in eyeballs. Feathered Fiend: Making his return from Transformers: Prime, Laserbeak naturally fits this trope. Giant Enemy Crab: Bisk, a Decepticon with a distinctly crustacean look, including eye stalks and snapping claws. Thermidor also counts, but unlike Bisk, he lacks eyestalks. Clampdown and Clawtrap, on the other hand, are more of a literal examples, lacking Bisk's humanoid shape and both looking like a straight-up robot crab. Giant Flyer: Filch, a giant mechanical bird Decepticon that is strong enough to lift an RV and two Autobots. Similar with Boostwing, Jacknab, and Pilfer. Giant Spider: Chop Shop, a combiner composed of five giant spiders that merge into a humanoid robot. Insect Queen: Zizza, who takes several cues from bees. Killer Gorilla: Groundpounder. Simacore is another example, though he more closely resembles an orangutan. Lizard Folk: Crazybolt and his partner, Slicedice. This is later followed by Flamesnort. Maniac Monkeys: Simacore's Minicons, Axiom and Theorem, are this, being smaller than their master. The Marvelous Deer: Thunderhoof, whose otherwise humanoid look features some impressive antlers and cloven hooves on his feet. Panthera Awesome: "Fancyclaws", a black panther-like Decepticon, and his Palette Swap, Razorpaw, intended to more closely resemble a cougar. Puppeteer Parasite: Minitron, a tiny louse-like Decepticon, who is employed by Steeljaw to control Grimlock's behavior. Sand Worm: An earthworm-like Decepticon named Ped. Scary Scorpions: As is par for the course with previous characters that shared his name, Scorponok. Paralon also counts. Smelly Skunk: Malodor and his gang of Skunkticons, who have the ability to produce debilitating toxins. Same with Zorillor, although unlike Malodor and his gang, he is more of a lone wolf. Snake People: Vertebreak, a multiple-armed serpentine Mad Scientist. Thieving Magpie: Filch, who is appropriately named, given she tends to steal shiny things. Her bird mode even has a corvid-like appearance. Boostwing, Jacknab, and Pilfer are thieves as well, albeit more scheming than Filch. Threatening Shark: A shark-like Decepticon resembles a hammerhead, appropriately named Hammerstrike. The same applies with Ragebyte. Tough Armored Dinosaur: Scowl, a Category Traitor, transforms into a ankylosaurus. Wicked Weasel: Stockade, a General Ripper with badger-like characteristics. | |

Composite Character | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Several examples can be found in this series: Bumblebee was already based heavily on the version seen in the films, but his being shoved into the role of a leader (which already began in the previous series) and his doubts over whether he can live up to Optimus's example are evocative of Rodimus Prime and Hot Shot during their stints as leaders of the Autobots. Bumblebee differs in that he's not the leader of the entirety of the Autobots, however. Sideswipe mostly resembles his Generation 1 namesake, but wields a sword, much like how his live-action counterpart was equipped with arm blades. Grimlock's design combines elements of multiple previous versions of the character, transforming almost exactly like the original and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron incarnations. However, his dinosaur mode has a prominent underbite like the Grimlock of Transformers: Animated, plus he's green like the film version of Age of Extinction and Robots in Disguise anime versions of Grimlock. Jazz basically is a combination of many variations of his previous incarnations. He transforms into a Porsche, has speakers on his shoulders for weapons, speaking in the same usual slang, and is of the same blue, silver, and black colors from his Generation 1 incarnation. He also has a retractable visor to reveal blue optics based off his Transformers Film Series self. Drift is based primarily on his Age of Extinction incarnation, with samurai-styled armour and facial hair, but sports a crest on his helmet shaped more like that of the original Drift that debuted in the IDW comics. Soundwave has the following as well in Collateral Damage: He now transforms into an SUV, very much like his counterpart from Transformers: Animated. His new beefed-up robot form, in which he retains the head design in Prime, strongly resembles his G1 self. Not unlike the Breastforce of Transformers Victory, Laserbeak can transform off of his chest. The Activator Mini-Cons are similar to the Power Masters from G1. The only difference is that G1 Power Masters are human-sized aliens known as Nebulons in robot suits, whereas the Activator Mini-Cons are full Cybertronians. At the same time, the Activator Mini-Cons grant full-size Transformers to high-tech weapons in vehicle forms, very much like MechTech weapons from Transformers: Dark of the Moon. | |

Big Creepy-Crawlies: Kickback resembles a grasshopper. The second season introduces Saberhorn, who is based on a rhinoceros beetle, and Glowstrike, who apparently draws inspiration from fireflies. The third season introduces Shadow Raker, Drift's former master, whose alternate form is a mix of a spider and a beetle. | |

Bomb-Throwing Anarchists: Quillfire conducts himself in this general fashion, though substituting bombs with venomous quills. He claims that any form of authority whatsoever is "oppression", and runs around trying to free all the animals at the zoo because he mistakes them for fellow revolutionaries who've been imprisoned by the "oppressors". | |

Oh, My Gods!: Bumblebee uses "By the Primes!" upon seeing Vertebreak's Mad Scientist lair. Makes sense, given that the Thirteen would probably be akin to a pantheon in Transformer culture. | |

The Remnant: Even though Megatron, the leader of all Deceptions, officially disbanded the faction at the end of the last series, there are still plenty of Decepticons that do not recognize this, and are still trying to achieve their goals regardless, thus ensuring that the faction continues to exist. Just because the boss decided to call it quits, doesn't mean everyone else will. | |

Running Gag: Bumblebee's attempts to come up with a Battle Cry (similar to Optimus Prime's classic "Transform and roll out"), which are always terrible.

Artistic License – Physics | |
| Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: The central conflict of the episode "Collateral Damage" is the prevention of fallout from nuclear FUSION rods. Supposedly, the four rods contained therein and their radiation are enough to "eradicate all life on Earth." Even though precautions are still taken to contain fusion radiation in real life, the maximum damage potential of fusion is a hundred times weaker than nuclear FISSION. Assuming the device in question that the fusion rods are powering is designed to propagate its power source's radiation, it doesn't have much to work with, and even then the radiation isn't as dangerous. | |
