He is, of course, referring to [[Primus]], and the multiverse-wide origin story that identifies him as the creator-god of the Transformer race. The Generation 1 cartoon continuity has always stood apart from most other Transformers fiction in this regard, having been written before the idea of Primus even existed; the show's decision to have the Quintessons be the Transformers' creators has subsequently been subject to revision and re-writing to make it fit with the Primus origin story in other continuities, but this story instead leans ''into'' it, crediting everything to Primacron.

Years later, "[[The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 2]]" would clarify that it took place in early [[2011]].

	*Primacron previously appeared in the Generation 1 cartoon episode "[[Call of the Primitives]]", in which he created Tornedron and had his lab destroyed by Grimlock. This was also the episode in which it was revealed that he built Unicron, and created "primitives" "near the beginning of the galaxy." This story expands on the implication of that line, interpreting it to mean that Primacron was consequently the distant progenitor of all mechanical life in the galaxy, including the Quintessons, and through them, the Transformers. As creators themselves, it's logical that the proud Quintessons would reject the idea that they were someone ''else's'' science project.		*Primacron previously appeared in the Generation 1 cartoon episode "[[Call of the Primitives]]", in which he created Tornedron and had his lab destroyed by Grimlock.

	*The story does not go into any detail, but the reason that Overdrive, Prowl, and Wheeljack are locked out of the BT World must surely be because of the [[quadrant lock]] that the Quintessons of their reality placed on Earth's solar system in 2010, as we learned in [[Alternation\|the final chapter of the ''Alternity'' storyline]].		*The story does not go into any detail, but the reason that Overdrive, Prowl, and Wheeljack are locked out of the BT World must surely be because of the [[quadrant lock]] that the Quintessons of their reality placed on Earth's solar system in 2010, as we learned in [[Alternation\|the final chapter of the ''Alternity'' storyline]].

While there had been previous precedent of Classic Pretender battles taking place in the Japanese cartoon continuity, they would not occur until several decades past this point in the timeline, and Bumblebee had other things to do first (see Errors, below).
	*When Elita-7 appeared in the ''Alternity'' storyline, she had a [[Synthoid]] body, which implied she had gone through seven upgrades from her original Transformer body (she was originally the Japanese incarnation of [[Arcee (Energon)\|''Energon'' Arcee]]). This story offers us a look at her fifth form, Elita-5, which is that of a [[Kreon]] styled after her [[Elita-One (Movie)#Dark of the Moon\|''Dark of the Moon'' toy]].		*When Elita-7 appeared in the ''Alternity'' storyline, she had a [[Synthoid]] body, which implied she had gone through seven upgrades from her original Transformer body (she was originally the Japanese incarnation of [[Arcee (Energon)\|''Energon'' Arcee]]).
