As the show's title indicates, the show focuses on a war between small faction of enemy robots, Maximals (heroes) and Predacons (villains). There is often violence and fight scenes per each episode, with the use of war tactics, physical combat and gunfire. Most of the time, the fight scenes may be used for comic effect with characters being blown apart but surviving to return the next episode.
All of the characters possess firearms or some kind of weaponry apart from the human children introduced in Season 3.
The villain Waspinator is blown apart or dismantled usually every episode or so. He survives, and is used for comic relief. Other Predacons also are treated similarily.
The hero Dinobot takes great pleasure in fighting, often acting violent and threatens his comrades, most commonly Rattrap.
