	QuickFire uses electromagnetic therapy to revitalize the aged Jake, and make him an attractive offer; return to trucking, to better conceal them from Decepticon detection while he attempts to revive Riptide. Jake accepts.

	* ''Lonesome Diesel'' takes the place [[Micro-continuity\|in its own unique continuity]], a hybrid of elements from Armada and Generation 1 (generally favoring Armada). Distinguishing elements include: Shockwave among the Decepticons, Hot Shot among the Autobots, Iacon and portions of the [[Primus]] mythology otherwise only found in Generation 1, not Armada continuities. This is, specifically, a result of the author's lack of Transformers knowledge, all of which appears to have been derived from a reading of [[Dorling Kindersley]]'s ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]''. The intent basically appears to be place the action in the ''Armada'' universe, but the landmarks of Cybertron listed in the story (the [[Sonic Canyons]] and the [[Well of All Sparks]]) are some of those specifically listed in the map of Cybertron in the guide's G1 section, and the members of the Decepticon ranks listed alongside ~~Megatron -~~ [[Starscream (G1)\|Starscream]], [[Shockwave (G1)\|Shockwave]] and [[Skywarp (G1)\|Skywarp]] ~~- are~~ specifically those who are given profiles on the G1 "Decepticons" page of the guide.		* ''Lonesome Diesel'' takes the place [[Micro-continuity\|in its own unique continuity]], a hybrid of elements from Armada and Generation 1 (generally favoring Armada).
