			*Chronologically, this miniseries follows ''[[Transformers: The War Within\|The War Within]]'' series, specifically, [[The Age of Wrath Pt.3\|''The Age of Wrath'' #3]], the final published issue in that series. The timescale is just a little bit before the [[Great Shutdown]].
			*In this issue, and for the majority of the series, [[Blaze Master]] is a member of the Decepticons.
			*The [[Operation: Containment]] that Countdown mentions ties in directly to [[Jetfire (G1)\|Jetfire]]'s flashback in "[[Original Sin]]".
			*Countdown's narration has a few embellishments. His claim he pursued him to Paradron's core is contradicted by the art showing Skystalker following ''him'', and the scene of their fight has the two on the planet's surface. Later issues in the miniseries add a few more clues as to what went down, but nothing concrete is ever given.
			*The letters page by [[Matthew Hansen]] gives significant back-story to the issue, explaining how the Autobots and Decepticons collaborated (mentioned by Fortress Maximus) to develop [[Little Iacon]], where they would farm a generation of newer, smaller soldiers to develop more troops for both sides. Eventually, both sides pulled out early and grabbed who they could.

			===Real-life references===
	*Like all the issues in this miniseries, the title is a reference to the band {{w\|Bad Religion}}. The song "Destined for Nothing" appears on the album ''The Process of Belief''.		*Like all the issues in this miniseries, the title is a reference to the band {{w\|Bad Religion}}.

	Meanwhile, at the [[Autobot]] [[Autobase\|headquarters]] in [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]], [[Countdown (G1)\|Countdown]] and [[Groundshaker (G1)\|Groundshaker]] return from space to find the base largely abandoned. The first Autobots they encounter, [[Topspin (G1)\|Topspin]] and [[Twin Twist]] seem surprised to see them, and more surprised that [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] isn't with them. Countdown and Groundshaker are equally surprised that Optimus has not returned to [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] before they did. Countdown confronts [[Ultra Magnus (G1)\|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)\|Fortress Maximus]] and informs them that [[Operation: Containment]], an attempt to prevent the Decepticon threat from spreading beyond Cybertron, has failed. Countdown explains that the Decepticon [[Skystalker (G1)\|Skystalker]] and his forces ravaged the peaceful planet, [[Paradron]], and that the Autobots need to mount an intergalactic patrol force to prevent the same fate from befalling other worlds. Ultra Magnus and Fortress Maximus disagree, stating that Autobot forces are already underpowered and spread thin as it is. Groundshaker interrupts, belligerently demanding the Autobot command take action, before he is pulled from the room by Countdown.
