	* Velocitron was one of Cybertron's colony worlds central to the plot of the [[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)\|''Transformers: Cybertron'' series]]. In IDW continuity, we briefly glimpsed it back in [[Windblade issue 4\|issue #4]] of the first ''Windblade'' mini-series, a scene also gave us a look at a vehicle-mode Knock Out. He appears in robot mode here and is officially named, confirming him as being based on the [[Knock Out (Prime)\|''Prime'' character]]. His companion goes without a name this issue, but as a turquoise and grey female Autobot, we feel pretty confident in identifying her as [[Moonracer (G1)\|Moonracer]] (she's got those thingies with the yellow bits on the side of her helmet). Her identity would be confirmed in the following issue.		* Velocitron was one of Cybertron's colony worlds central to the plot of the [[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)\|''Transformers: Cybertron'' series]].

This isn't the first time Override's appeared in Generation 1 continuity family fiction: an incarnation of her was recently introduced in the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' prose story "[[Broken Windshields]]", but the one who inevitably appears in this series is liable to be a lot more traditional than that one.		* Knock Out mentions reporting their discovery to [[Override (BWU)\|Override]]; obviously, this is a version of [[Override (Cybertron)\|''Cybertron'' Override]], who was the ruler of Velocitron in that series.

	* The planet Eukaris was also briefly glimpsed in ''Windblade'' vol. 1 #4; the two inhabitants we see here are [[Tigatron]] and [[Airazor (BW)\|Airazor]] of [[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)\|''Beast Wars'']] fame, suggesting this new world may play home to a series of battles similar to the [[Beast Wars (event)\|titular conflict]].

In the single panel she appears in, however, her personality appears drastically different than her incarnation of almost 30 years previous—sitting on a throne/chair made of Transformer bodies, which is on a floor made of Transformer ''heads'', and sporting a broken helmet and a somewhat demented smile.		* ...it is [[Elita One (G1)\|Elita One]], Cybertronian rebel cell leader and Optimus Prime's paramour from the original [[The Transformers (cartoon)\|Generation 1 cartoon]] episode "[[The Search for Alpha Trion]]".

	While the other combiners battle around them, within the Optimus combiner, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]] struggles to maintain his sense of self in the face of Prowl's experience in controlling a combiner mind. Prowl restates his belief that destroying the space bridge and sacrificing the future of Cybertron and the colony worlds is the only way to stop Starscream, but one by one, Optimus, [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ironhide]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Sunstreaker]], and [[Mirage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Mirage]] rally, refusing to look at the world only as numbers and statistics the way Prowl does. Instead, they all believe in the power of ''people'' to change that: people who may fail, but who will be there to help pick one another up if they do. Synchronized by this shared belief, the four 'bots' minds slowly come together, and while Prowl refuses to accept their way of thinking, in that refusal, he finally ''understands'' them... and in that ''understanding'', five become one, and [[Optimus Maximus (G1)\|Optimus Maximus]] is born! Surging back to life, the newborn Autobot combiner takes his place beside Superion and Defensor as they prepare to force Devastator and Menasor back through the space bridge.

	On Cybertron, Wheeljack discovers that the fluctuating space bridge is trying to lock on to multiple locations at the same time, as [[Metroplex (G1)\|Metroplex]] attempts to reach all of the colony worlds at once. No sooner has this discovery been made than the five combiners suddenly come tumbling through the portal; Menasor has been knocked out, but the other four continue to fight. The titanic brawl carries across the universe, as the combatants repeatedly fall in and out of the portal, jumping to a different location each time: first to a [[Velocitron\|desert planet]], near a [[Delta\|giant mobile city]]; then to the bow of a [[Vigilem\|~~huge Metrotitan~~]], somewhere in the depths of space. While Windblade, Chromia, and Starscream keep Menasor down, Optimus Maximus, Superion, and Defensor finally manage to surround Devastator, and with an almighty pull, tear him into his component [[Constructicon (G1)\|Constructicons]] with their bare hands. As the Constructicons are arrested, [[Scoop (G1)\|Scoop]] apologizes to Starscream for being unable to control them. Knowing that they cannot consider themselves above the law, Optimus Maximus willingly separates and surrenders Prowl to Starscream's custody. Superion is saddened to think that Optimus Maximus will never form again, but some bonds are not easily broken, as proven when Optimus Prime later visits Prowl in his cell.

	* Velocitron was one of Cybertron's colony worlds central to the plot of the [[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)\|''Transformers: Cybertron'' series]]. In IDW continuity, we briefly glimpsed it back in [[Windblade issue 4\|issue #4]] of the first ''Windblade'' mini-series, a scene also gave us a look at a vehicle-mode Knock Out. He appears in robot mode here and is officially named, confirming him as being based on the [[Knock Out (Prime)\|''Prime'' character]]. His companion goes without a name this issue, but as a turquoise and grey female Autobot, we feel pretty confident in identifying her as [[Moonracer (G1)\|Moonracer]] (she's got those thingies with the yellow bits on the side of her helmet). Her identity would be confirmed in the following issue.		* Velocitron was one of Cybertron's colony worlds central to the plot of the [[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)\|''Transformers: Cybertron'' series]].
