==Notes==

===Animation or technical errors===

===Continuity errors===

===Transformers references===
* The initial design of Optimus' jetpack resembles the booster pack from [[Jetfire (G1)|the original Jetfire]] (and thus, the FAST Packs from ''Super Dimension Fortress Macross''), and would thus be a reference to another Optimus combining with a Jetfire in [[Armada]]<!--and-->. It could also be seen as a reference to the final scenes of [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]] from the original series, when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] borrowed [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]'s rocket pack to chase [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s space cruiser.
* [[Image:GodGinrai_toy.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Now, that's some upgrades...]]The redesign of the jetpack, while resembling [[Optimus Prime (Armada)#Cybertron|''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime's super mode]], is more probably a hint to the [[Apex Bomber]] upgrade, as the winged gloves (and the wings themselves) seem to heavily imply.
* As he jets into the sky, Optimus shouts out [[Megatron (BW)|"Yessssss!" and "Excellent"]]. We've been waiting for this since [[Human Error, Part I]].
* The creation of the Lugnut Supremes, evil clones of [[Omega Supreme]], harkens back to [[Omega Sentinel (G1)|Omega Sentinel]] and the [[Dark Guardian]]s.
* Ratchet once again harps on the fact that "[[Autobots can't fly]]", a common if frequently broken rule throughout most of the Transformers fiction, before being confronted with the harsh reality.
* This is not the [[Matrix Blade|first time]] that an Optimus has taken up a huge, Matrix-related melee weapon for the final battle against a Megatron.
