- human supervillians (and not just in one episode)
- a frequent focus on Transformer "powers"
- a main team stationed in a single city with a variety of statures and abilities,
- Optimus Prime talking about not feeling like a hero in the opening episodes
... is because the show was conceptualized as just that: Transformers: Heroes. It was a superhero show. Then they decided to name it Animated to more obviously separate it form the live action movies.
Besides, the human villans were fun as fuck and made the Decepticons even more dangerous in comparison.
