	*Unlike "Hope for the Future", the official numerical placement for this episode simply doesn't work. "The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus" opens with both factions reviewing the events of "Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!", indicating that the former takes place not too long after the latter. With how serialized the Ultra Magnus mini-arc from "Ultra Magnus" to "Power to Burn!" is, there is simply no room for this episode to fit during it. Same goes for its original broadcast placement since "Maximus Emerges" follows closely after "Peril from the Past", offering no room for this episode to fit there either.		*Unlike "Hope for the Future", the official numerical placement for this episode simply doesn't work.

	*The past events the Autobots observe on their monitors are from "[[Sky-Byte Saves the Day]]", "[[The Decepticons]]", and, most especially, "[[Landfill (episode)\|Landfill]]", whose recap clips comprise a good ''twelve minutes'' of this episode's 21-minute runtime. This is likely because "Landfill" was one of three episodes banned from airing in the United States, and this episode recapping so much of its events allowed viewers to see a good-sized chunk of what they had missed from the debut episode of, well, [[Landfill (RID)\|Landfill]]. Consequently, the [[Build Team (RID)\|Build Team]] gets the lion's share of focus in this recap episode, making it feel like it should come during the Build Team mini-arc that runs from "[[Wedge's Short Fuse]]" to "[[A Test of Metal]]". At the very least, it must come at some point after "Sky-Byte Saves the Day" (the chronologically-latest episode reviewed in this one) and before "[[Ultra Magnus (episode)\|Ultra Magnus]]" (after which the series becomes too tightly-knit for this episode to occur anywhere at that point).		*The past events the Autobots observe on their monitors are from "[[Sky-Byte Saves the Day]]", "[[The Decepticons]]", and, most especially, "[[Landfill (episode)\|Landfill]]", whose recap clips comprise a good ''twelve minutes'' of this episode's 21-minute runtime.

However, in this episode, Optimus, Koji, and T-AI all act as if that sabotage happened ~~awhile~~ ago rather than very recently, and some of the events from "Sky-Byte Saves the Day" are also recapped in this episode, meaning it can't come any earlier than right after that episode. What's more, the Space Bridge still needing some repairs during "Sky-Byte Saves the Day" ''would'' explain why Optimus ''drove'' to the [[CGA Tower]] in that episode instead of using the Space Bridge to get there immediately. And the only ones who used the Space Bridge in that episode were the Build Team, which makes sense since they're the ones who maintain it and would thus be authorized to use it even when it's still undergoing maintenance.

Sabrblade: After re-viewing the episode more closely, I missed some context clues before that actually suggest this episode takes place a little bit farther away from both "Landfill" and "Sky-Byte Saves the Day"

After re-viewing the episode more closely, I missed some context clues before that actually suggest this episode takes place a little bit farther away from both "Landfill" and "Sky-Byte Saves the Day"

	*The past events the Autobots observe on their monitors are from "[[Sky-Byte Saves the Day]]", "[[The Decepticons]]", and, most especially, "[[Landfill (episode)\|Landfill]]", whose recap clips comprise a good ''twelve minutes'' of this episode's 21-minute runtime. This is likely because "Landfill" was one of three episodes banned from airing in the United States, and this episode recapping so much of its events allowed viewers to see a good-sized chunk of what they had missed from the debut episode of, well, [[Landfill (RID)\|Landfill]].		*Unlike "Hope for the Future", the official numerical placement for this episode simply doesn't work. "The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus" opens with both factions reviewing the events of "Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!", indicating that the former takes place not too long after the latter. With how serialized the Ultra Magnus mini-arc from "Ultra Magnus" to "Power to Burn!" is, there is simply no room for this episode to fit during it. Same goes for its original broadcast placement since "Maximus Emerges" follows closely after "Peril from the Past", offering no room for this episode to fit there either.
	*The episode ends with the Autobots giving some final systems ~~tests~~ to the ~~Global~~ Space Bridge ~~as though~~ the events of "Landfill" had happened very recently, ~~making it likely that~~ this episode ~~takes place a short~~ time ~~after~~ that ~~episode~~. ~~However~~, ~~some of the events~~ from "Sky-Byte Saves the Day" ~~are~~ also ~~recapped in~~ this episode~~, meaning it can~~'~~t come any earlier than right after that episode~~. ~~Plus~~, the Space Bridge ~~still needing some repairs~~ in "Sky-Byte Saves the Day" ~~''would'' explain why Optimus ''drove'' to~~ the ~~[[CGA Tower]] in that episode instead of using~~ the Space Bridge ~~to get there immediately. And the only ones who used the Space Bridge in that episode were the Build Team~~, ~~which makes sense since they're the ones who maintain it~~ and ~~would thus be authorized to use it~~ even ~~when it's still undergoing maintenance~~. ~~Therefore~~, this episode ~~makes the most sense taking place chronologically between~~ "Sky-Byte Saves the Day" ~~and~~ "[[A Test of Metal]]".		*The past events the Autobots observe on their monitors are from "[[Sky-Byte Saves the Day]]", "[[The Decepticons]]", and, most especially, "[[Landfill (episode)\|Landfill]]", whose recap clips comprise a good ''twelve minutes'' of this episode's 21-minute runtime. This is likely because "Landfill" was one of three episodes banned from airing in the United States, and this episode recapping so much of its events allowed viewers to see a good-sized chunk of what they had missed from the debut episode of, well, [[Landfill (RID)\|Landfill]]. Consequently, the [[Build Team (RID)\|Build Team]] gets the lion's share of focus in this recap episode, making it feel like it should come during the Build Team mini-arc that runs from "[[Wedge's Short Fuse]]" to "[[A Test of Metal]]". At the very least, it must come at some point after "Sky-Byte Saves the Day" (the chronologically-latest episode reviewed in this one) and before "[[Ultra Magnus (episode)\|Ultra Magnus]]" (after which the series becomes too tightly-knit for this episode to occur anywhere at that point).
			*The episode ends with the Autobots giving some final test runs to the Global Space Bridge's systems. On the surface, it seems like these test runs are being conducted in response to the repair work done to the Space Bridge at the end of "Landfill", following the Decepticons' sabotaging in that episode, which could suggest that the events of "Landfill" had happened very recently. However, earlier in this episode, T-AI refers to those events "the time [the Decepticons] almost wrecked the Space Bridge"; her specific wording of "the time that..." would suggest that that time happened some time ago rather than recently. Likewise, when viewing footage from "Sky-Byte Saves the Day" (the next episode after "Landfill"), Koji refers to the events of that episode as "that time", which suggests that that episode's events were also not very recent from this episode's time.
			*So then, if the systems tests for the Global Space Bridge aren't a response to the events of "Landfill", what then might they be for? Well, in "Sky-Byte Saves the Day", the Build Team completes construction on multiple new tunnel routes for the Space Bridge, and are seen building even more during "A Test of Metal". All those new tunnels would need some proper systems checks, so that actually checks out with this episode. And since it has to come both after "Sky-Byte Saves the Day" but not right after, this episode would therefore fit most rightly coming between "A Test of Metal" and "Ultra Magnus".
