Notes
[edit]- Optimus Prime's friendship with Marissa refers to their relationship in Kiss Players, and his surfboard is based on his Surfblade from that series.
- Daniel wears the exo-suit of his Generations toy.
- Cancer and Wilder appear only as undetailed figures surfing in the background, made up only of color with no lineart. They're largely identifiable by their wetsuits, which match the ones they wore in the Masterforce episode, "Heroism!! The Birth of Super Ginrai." Logically, that would suggest the other figure in the background, a blonde woman, is Minerva, though she's not wearing a recognizable wetsuit design.
- "Ruination Chapter, Part Two" places this story in 2021, creating some issues. Per the concurrent Legends storyline, Cancer, Wilder, and Minerva are supposed to be off in deep space or already in the Legends World. Meanwhile, it is not impossible that Daniel already has his "Train Wars" exo-suit, but that story is set circa 2035, and the accompanying bio implies he acquired it only recently.
- This being the first appearance of Sue Faireborn, audiences were confused at this unexplained character till Hayato Sakamoto revealed her identity at BotCon 2016.
