The audience was highly enthusiastic about the episode, bursting into cheers when Optimus Prime first appeared (and spoke, revealing Garry Chalk's voice). Unfortunately, this screening was also the precise moment that the cast of ''Robots in Disguise'', members of which made up nearly the entire voice actor guest list for this year, discovered that they wouldn't be coming back to voice the next series.

	* Dinner attendees received a bonus gift of one Deluxe size-class ''Armada'' toy and one Mini-Con 3-pack. This was ''supposed'' to be a great treat, as the ''Armada'' toyline was just beginning, and these would have been as-yet unreleased toys. However, the first ''Armada'' toys had unexpectedly hit stores a few weeks early, just before the convention, and thus many of the hardcore fans present at the dinner already owned them.		* Dinner attendees received a bonus gift of one Deluxe size-class ''Armada'' toy and one Mini-Con 3-pack.
