==Notes==<br />
===Technical/Animation Glitches===<br />
*Glitch<br />
<br />
===Continuity Errors===<br />
* Silverbolt and Waspinator seem unaware that they are in Vehicon bodies with drones at their command. This is odd, considering that Rhinox was fully aware (or so he claims) within the body of Tankor, and even more so when Silverbolt feels guilt when he finally returns to the Maximal fold (although these can both be chalked up to the Maximals tampering with their respective programming). Even a few seconds ''before'' Waspinator acts oblivious to his command over the drones, he confesses "Chicks dig the cool biker-bot!", ''acknowledging'' his role as Thrust. ''Huh?'' <br />
<br />
===Transformers References===<br />
<br />
* [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] and [[Waspinator]]'s Beast Wars personalities emerge in this episode, albeit for a few minutes.<br />

===Trivia===<br />
<br />
* It seems unusual that Megatron would threaten the [[Diagnostic Drone]] with a [[spark extractor]], seeing as how it doesn't ''have'' any to begin with.<br />
