	* In a bit of foreshadowing, while Dinobot is contemplating suicide, three ravens fly past his window in the {{w\|missing man formation}}, which the Maximal fliers use in their salute to him at his funeral.

	* During the recording of this episode, [[Scott McNeil]] was attempting to deliver Dinobot's last words, but was continually interrupted by the recording crew's laughter. He is reputed to have said while still in character, "Do you mind?! I'm trying to die here!"		* During the recording of this episode, [[Scott McNeil]] was attempting to deliver Dinobot's last words, but was continually interrupted by the recording crew's laughter. He is reputed to have said while still in character, "Do you mind?! I'm trying to die here!"
	* When Dinobot dies, his Spark escapes his body, and proceeds to slowly rise into the air until the scene transitions. This phenomenon had never been seen in Transformers fiction prior, as opposed to the body turning gray as the character expired first seen in [[The Transformers: The Movie]], nor would it ever be seen again in the show as future characters died. The idea would not be used again until many years later in the [[Prime Wars Trilogy\|Prime Wars cartoons]].
	* According to McNeil, Dinobot knew he was going to die five episodes before he did, as right up until the last second, he believed Dinobot to only be "cartoon dead" as opposed to "''dead'' dead". ''Technically'', [[Feral_Scream_Part_1\|he wasn't wrong]].		* According to McNeil, Dinobot knew he was going to die five episodes before he did, as right up until the last second, he believed Dinobot to only be "cartoon dead" as opposed to "''dead'' dead".

The idea would not be used again until many years later in the [[Transformers: Power of the Primes (cartoon)\|''Power of the Primes'' cartoon]].
	* When originally broadcast in the [[United Kingdom]], this episode was edited, with Dinobot's contemplated suicide completely excised and his hallway altercation with Rattrap cut down to only a fraction of its actual length. In the latter case, this seems to serve no other purpose than the elimination of the word "[[Slag (slang)\|slag]]", and Dinobot's dying exchange with Rattrap was likewise altered to purge the word.		* When originally broadcast in the [[United Kingdom]], this episode was edited, with Dinobot's contemplated suicide completely excised and his hallway altercation with Rattrap cut down to only a fraction of its actual length.

This is the only post-Season 1 episode included with any ''10th Anniversary'' figure.		* It's no surprise that a DVD containing this episode was packaged with Dinobot for ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars 10th Anniversary]]''.

	* In this episode, the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)\|Voyager Disk]] resembles an old record (complete with being labeled "The Sounds of Earth") instead of the design used since its appearance in [[Beast Wars (Part 1)\|the first episode]]. Given its origin as a record in a canister, however, it's possible that Megatron has simply taken it out of its case to test his theory of time-meddling.		* In this episode, the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)\|Voyager Disk]] resembles an old record (complete with being labeled "The Sounds of Earth") instead of the design used since its appearance in [[Beast Wars (Part 1)\|the first episode]].

			* It doesn't make any sense for Rhinox to say that the Transwarp wave is "moving into the future at an accelerated rate." The "rate" would only matter to an observer traveling with the wave; no one at the origin or destination would notice how long it took the wave to get from ~2,600,000 BC to 2321 AD.
	* As with most of Megatron's plots to alter the timeline, the plan to destroy the human race before it evolves has a critical deterministic error; if he succeeds, then the golden disk would never have been created by [[NASA]] in the future. Megatron could never have acquired it, and thus would not have the foresight to attempt to destroy the human race, and then the human race would have evolved as normal, creating the golden disk in the future... and so on and so forth. Apparently, time travel in ''Beast Wars'' isn't subject to the grandfather paradox!		* As with most of Megatron's plots to alter the timeline, the plan to destroy the human race before it evolves has a critical deterministic error; if he succeeds, then the golden disk would never have been created by [[NASA]] in the future.

	* Rattrap mentions that Dinobot would be up against six Predacons when there was a total of seven. (Out of universe, this is likely for the audience's benefit, in case they weren't keeping track.) Either he had totally forgotten about Tarantulas, somehow heard Dinobot defeating Tarantulas over his open comlink, or assumed that Tarantulas would still not be working with Megatron.		* Rattrap mentions that Dinobot would be up against six Predacons when there was a total of seven.
