	*Malignus refers to "Earth's not-inconsiderable cache of Cybertronian treasures," alluding to the many, many Cybertronian artifacts that have turned on the planet over the course of the film series, including the [[AllSpark]], the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the [[Star Harvester]], the [[Ark (DOTM)\|Ark]] and its [[space bridge]] [[pillar]]s, [[living metal\|transformium]], and the [[Staff of Merlin]].		*Malignus refers to "Earth's not-inconsiderable cache of Cybertronian treasures," alluding to the many, many Cybertronian artifacts that have turned on the planet over the course of the film series, including the [[AllSpark]], the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the [[Star Harvester]], the [[Ark (DOTM)\|Ark]] and its [[space bridge]] [[pillar]]s, [[living metal\|transformium]], and the [[Staff of Merlin]].
	*Bumblebee remembers fighting alongside Diabla in the [[smelting pool]]s of [[Altihex]].

The famous pools were established to be located near Altihex in live-action movie continuity by ''[[Risk: Transformers — Cybertron Battle Edition]]''.
	*Astrotrain flees mid-battle, leaving him alive to eventually reappear in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm\|Rising Storm]]'' series, set between ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)\|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)\|Dark of the Moon]]''. As he goes, he comments that "even [[Shockwave (Movie)\|Shockwave]] never treated [him as] badly" as Malignus, referring to his time under Shockwave's command back on Cybertron, as seen in [[Rising Storm issue 2\|''Rising Storm'' #2]].		*Astrotrain flees mid-battle, leaving him alive to eventually reappear in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm\|Rising Storm]]'' series, set between ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)\|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)\|Dark of the Moon]]''.

	*Bumblebee's pursuit of Blitzwing was evidently intended to lead into the beginning of the [[Bumblebee (film)\|''Bumblebee'']] movie, which features a fight between the two early on. However—whether as the product of last-minute changes to the film, the comic being given an outdated script to work from, or some kind of active disinformation—the film does not flow out of what we see here; rather than Bumblebee tracking Blitzwing down, it's ''Blitzwing'' who hunts ''Bumblebee'' down, not after twenty years, but immediately after his arrival on Earth in 1987.		*Bumblebee's pursuit of Blitzwing was evidently intended to lead into the beginning of the [[Bumblebee (film)\|''Bumblebee'']] movie, which features a fight between the two early on.

	In the aftermath of the blast, Bumblebee calls out for Diabla, but there is no sign of her. Blitzwing, however, has survived, having used Dead End's corpse to shield himself from the blast, and decides to flee rather than continue the fight. Reeve and Lux grab onto a tire bobbing in the ocean nearby to stay afloat; Bumblebee recognizes it as one of Diabla's, which Reeve assumes must mean she has perished, but Bumblebee draws the opposite conclusion, confident that she still lives. As he ferries his partners back to land, Bumblebee resolves to find Diabla... and if it turns out that he is wrong, and that she ''is'' dead... then he vows to get revenge.

	Over the next twenty years, Bumblebee eventually parts ways with Reeve and Lux and travels the globe searching for Diabla. Ultimately, he is unable to find any trace of her, and switches to hunting Blitzwing, with the Decepticon repeatedly managing to slip through his fingers, over and over again down through the years. But finally, ~~Bumbleebee~~ tracks Blitzwing down, and the two prepare to to do battle again...

	With Transformers battling all around them, Reeve and Lux take on Malignus, whose spinning saw-blade hands make him a dangerous opponent. While Lux keeps the Decepticon mastermind busy, Reeve rushes to Bumblebee's side and calls on the Autobot to give him another of his modified explosive homing devices. Though distracted by his fight with Dead End, 'Bee complies, and Reeve takes the device, sneaks up behind Malignus, and jams it into the little Decepticon's neck. Lux detonates the device, and Malignus's is blown to pieces... but unfortunately, this does nothing to stop the missile from taking off. Diabla breaks off her brawl with Blitzwing and flies after the missile, watching as the Sharkticon holding onto it is shaken loose and sent plummeting back to Earth.

Bumblebee is so focused on calling out to Diabla to get clear that he doesn't notice Blitzwing and Dead End coming at him from opposite sides; fortunately, a cry from Reeve prompts him to duck at just the right moment, causing Blitzwing's shot to miss him and kill Dead End instead.

Malignus, meanwhile, hits a switch on a control panel, and a [[Nuclear weapon\|nuclear missile]] rises up out of a concealed silo beneath the Sharkticon tank, with one of the hapless creatures still clinging to its nosecone. Realizing that Malignus intends to fire the missile at her human allies in the Soviet Union, and that England will be blamed for the attack, thereby triggering the war Malignus desires, Diabla leaves Bumblebee to Dead End and attempts to stop the missile before it can launch. Her way is barred by [[Blitzwing (BB)\|Blitzwing]] and [[Astrotrain (DOTM)\|Astrotrain]], but Astrotrain's heart isn't in it anymore; seeing Dead End sicced on his fellow Decepticons has given him reason enough to abandon Malignus, and he promptly transforms and flies off, leaving Blitzwing to fight Diabla alone.

	With Transformers battling all around them, Reeve and Lux take on Malignus, whose spinning saw-blade hands make him a dangerous opponent. While Lux keeps the Decepticon mastermind busy, Reeve rushes to Bumblebee's side and calls on the Autobot to give him another of his modified explosive homing devices. Though distracted by his fight with Dead End, 'Bee complies, and Reeve takes the device, sneaks up behind Malignus, and jams it into the little Decepticon's neck. Lux detonates the device, and Malignus's is blown to pieces... but unfortunately, this does nothing to stop the missile from taking off. Diabla breaks off her brawl with Blitzwing and flies after the missile, watching as the Sharkticon holding onto it is shaken loose and sent plummeting back to Earth. Bumblebee positions Dead End so that the Sharkticon lands on top of him, freeing Bumblebee up to tackle Blitzwing, throwing off the [[Triple Changer]]'s aim just as he opens fire on Diabla. Blitzwing's wild shot hits the missile's propulsion system, and it spirals out of control, falling back down towards the combatants below. Bumblebee is so focused on calling out to Diabla to get clear that he doesn't notice Blitzwing and Dead End coming at him from opposite sides; fortunately, a cry from Reeve prompts him to duck at just the right moment, causing Blitzwing's shot to miss him and kill Dead End instead. 'Bee grabs Reeve and Lux and beats a hasty retreat, leaping outside and into the safety of the ocean as the missile hits, blowing up the Decepticons' base.
