==Quotes==<br />
"Come out and face us! At least your colleagues had the guts to confront us ''head-on''..."<br><br />
"'Head on'. It's ''funny'' 'cos, y'know, we cut off their—"<br><br />
"Yes, I know. I said it on ''purpose.''"<br />
:—'''Whirl's friends''' make puns about murder.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
* 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 />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
* Springarm's decapitated head lacks the Matrix tattoo on his cheek.<br />
* On the final page, the mysterious Senator calls Optimus Prime by his current name, "Orion", only to call him "Optimus" a few panels later, after explaining the room made in his chest to (presumably) hold the matrix. This is either an outright error, or the Senator is foreshadowing to what he somehow apparently knows will happen to Orion/Optimus in the near future.<br />
