The animated show in general[]
- Awesome Music: "Honoo no Overdrive", courtesy of Koji Wada, the artist who sang "Butter-Fly" in Digimon Adventure.
- Ensemble Darkhorses:
- Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Robots in Disguise is more popular in the USA than Car Robots is in Japan, probably due to the Woolseyisms, Mythology Gags, and the heavy fan backlash against the Unicron Trilogy.
- Harsher in Hindsight: "An Explosive Situation" featured a plot regarding a terrorist bomb in a major metropolis. It aired on, and this absolutely true, September 10th 2001! Unsurprisingly it was pulled from the airwaves.
- So Okay It's Average: General consensus is that it isn't the best Transformers series, but it's definitely not the worst.
- The Woobie: Sky-Byte.
The toys in general[]
- They Changed It, Now It Sucks:
- The Transformers: Legacy Tow-Line wounds up as a redeco/new head retool of the same line's Scraphook instead of a new tooling based on the latter.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character:
- After 17/18 years of waiting to be reissued for the Encore line, the God Fire Convoy/Omega Prime toy is unfortunately known for its various quality control issues such as the misassembled pieces and swapped voice chips.
