	* The biggie is that this story brings in elements from the [[Marvel Comics continuity\|Marvel]], [[The Transformers (cartoon)\|Sunbow]], ''and'' [[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)\|anime]] takes on Headmasters! The World Watchers of the comics go up against the Hive from the cartoon, with various 'master partners coming from both sources, while the planet Master with its teeny Transformers is from the anime. In a sneaky gag, the planet is originally called Rebirth (after the cartoon's Headmaster [[The Rebirth, Part 1\|story]]) and then supplanted by Master (as in the anime ignoring "The Rebirth").		* The biggie is that this story brings in elements from the [[Marvel Comics continuity\|Marvel]], [[The Transformers (cartoon)\|Sunbow]], ''and'' [[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)\|anime]] takes on Headmasters!

	* Much like his rival Fort Max, the ''Uprising'' version of Scorponok is an amalgamation of his various versions from prior G1 media. Much like the Marvel comics, he starts off as a regular-sized Decepticon who binary bonds with a Nebulon, though here the names are changed so the Decepticon is named Zarak (so as to avoid sharing a name with the Predacon Scorponok, in keeping with ''Uprising''{{'}}s naming conventions), and the guy normally named Zarak is instead Fausto Borx, who debuted in ''[[The Transformers: Regeneration One\|Regeneration One]]'' as a Nebulan scientist, albeit one cooperating with the Autobots. Their larger combined form is made out of a city, just as the full-sized Scorponok of the cartoon was, but is named MegaZarak like in Japanese media. Later on, Zarak replaces the now-dead Borx with a new partner called Dante, same as his IDW counterpart did, along with picking up Caliburn, who was a partner to a ''different'' MegaZarak (from the 2003 ''Universe'' line, via the ~~OFTCC~~).		* Much like his rival Fort Max, the ''Uprising'' version of Scorponok is an amalgamation of his various versions from prior G1 media.

	* Artfire had a partner named [[Nightstick (Headmasters)\|Nightstick]] who was basically Fracas in a new package.

	* Being released contemporaneously with the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)\|Titans Return]]'' toyline, this story makes use of many new ''Titans Return'' toys, sometimes [[repurposing]] them into separate characters from the portrayals in the ''Titans Return'' toy bio continuity. Skytread, for example, is the revamped [[Titan Master]] form of [[Flywheels]] in ''Titans Return'', but in this story, [[Skytread]] is a separate character and the Nebulon Headmaster partner of Flywheels.		* Being released contemporaneously with the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)\|Titans Return]]'' toyline, this story makes use of many new ''Titans Return'' toys, sometimes [[repurposing]] them into separate characters from the portrayals in the ''Titans Return'' toy bio continuity.
