	**Most notably, in two different scenes (basically using the same background), a movie theater can be ~~shown~~ advertising ''[[The Transformers: The Movie (fictional)\|The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

	**The opening pan includes "FD Rum Appliances", "Life Life", "Star", "Victoria Hotel", "Lido", and "Astoria". That last one shows up again later - Powerglide flies by it when he is reporting in to Prime. While presumably done to reference the famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Astoria is also, coincidentally enough, the name of the girl who'll fall for Powerglide in "[[The Girl Who Loved Powerglide]]".		**The opening pan includes "FD Rum Appliances", "Life Life", "Star", "Victoria Hotel", "Lido", and "Astoria".
