* Orion Pax is ''hardcore.''<br />
* Among Orion's trophies is one from the [[Institute for Higher Programming]] mentioned in [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]'s toy bio.<br />
* [[Nebulan]]s are described by Whirl's friends as having hair, but were all shown as bald in "[[Spotlight: Ultra Magnus]]". [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Zarak]] had facial hair though, which might count for something. But as this was millions of years before Spotlight: Ultra Magnus the "hair" could have been lost through evolution.<br />
* A statue of [[Prima]] overlooks the [[Grand Imperium]] Senate chamber. He's drawn like the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned]]-style Prima seen in ''[[Transformers Vault]],'' Matrix sword and all.<br />

:''The death crystal cannon is a Decepticon-created [[weapon]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''<br />
[[Image:Chaos death crystal cannon.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]<br />
When most saw the amazing destructive potential the [[death crystal]]s had, they thought "death crystal guns". When [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] saw it, he thought "'''death crystal cannon'''".<br />
<br />
==Fiction==<br />
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===<br />
After having confiscated [[Dread (planet)|Dread]], its death crystals and [[Dread slaves|the slaves]] from the [[Orb]]s, Galvatron ordered for the construction of a cannon with which he would destroy [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and the [[Autobot]]s once and for all. It was expected the Autobots would not find out about the plan until maybe a moment before their deaths, but [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]'s knowledge about the death crystals got in the way. The veteran led a small team of Autobots to Dread at the time the cannon was finished but still needed to be loaded with enough death crystals to make a worthwhile impact. Through events, Kup succeeded in freeing the slaves and got their help in taking out the guards at the cannon. Because the cannon was ready to be fired by that time, rather than destroy it directly, Kup and two of the slaves turned it around to use it against the monstrosity [[Chaos (alien)|Chaos]], which was after them. However, the impact the cannon had not only took out Chaos, but also caused [[Queeg Mountain|the volcano]] at which base the cannon stood to erupt. Kup and the others abandoned the weapon to flee for their lives and it was presumably molten away by the stream of lava. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}<br />
