	**The short scene where Sideways shoots down Cyclonus is reused from [[Overmatch]], where he was struck down by a flying shard of Starscream's sword, making it look like the scene suddenly takes place at night. The only changes being the shard replaced with a flying black disk and Cyclonus missing his spinning rotor. ''Legends of the Microns'' removes the reused nighttime background, fully redraws Cyclonus as getting hit by laser fire, complete with his spinning rotor.		**The short scene where Sideways shoots down Cyclonus is reused from "[[Overmatch]]", where he was struck down by a flying shard of Starscream's sword, making it look like the scene suddenly takes place at night.
