	*Footage of Divebombs dropping explosives and Scorponok batting away a blue generic Transformer are used to illustrate the Decepticons ruling Cybertron "with an iron fist" in the past. Footage of Rodimus, Prowl and Landmine in silhouettte holding their Autobot-emblem flag is used to illustrate the Autobots who took up resistance against the Decepticons. Needless to say, neither of these jibe with the actual events of ''Energon''.		*The narration is seemingly written with the intent of covering the [[Transformers brand\|''Transformers'' brand]] as a whole, rather than specifically adhering to the Unicron Trilogy's continuity. This would explain the discrepancy of the clearly G1-inspired toys included with the DVD.

	*Transformers are made of [[durabyllium]] steel, which Optimus claims is the hardest metal in the galaxy. This refers back to the [[Technobot (G1)\|Technobot]] [[Nosecone (G1)\|Nosecone]]'s "durabyllium-steel alloy" drill and the material [[Omega Supreme (G1)\|Omega Supreme]]'s toughness tends to be compared too.		*Transformers are made of [[durabyllium]] steel, which Optimus claims is the hardest metal in the galaxy.

			*Optimus mentions that Megatron "change[s] forms like a race-bot changes tires", likely referring to Megatron's malleability of alternate modes in the 2000s.

Optimus then re-iterates that a Transformer will usually scan a new form when they first arrive on a planet so as to blend in better—or so the theory goes, as not everyone is subtle in their choice of [[alternate mode]]s... while others are just ''looking'' for trouble.

	The Transformers' war, Optimus says, began when a group decided to take over the planet and run things ''their'' way. These Transformers were called '''Decepticons''', and ruled the planet with an iron fist, crushing all opposition! A few Transformers, including Optimus himself, chose to fight back against the tyrants, dubbing themselves '''[[Autobot]]s'''. Their numbers quickly grew as more and more Transformers decided to fight for freedom, and they eventually regained control of Cybertron, forcing the Decepticons on the run. But that retreat bred desperation, leading the Decepticons to attack the [[energon grid]] protecting the planet.

	According to Optimus, [[Megatron (Armada)\|Megatron]] is already on Earth, driven by an insatiable lust for power. Optimus knows deep down that neither he nor Megatron will admit defeat until they see the other destroyed. And even as Megatron changes bodies like a race-bot changes tires, his evil only grows with every re-scan. Once, Megatron showed concern for those he led, but now the pursuit of power is his only concern, no matter who gets hurt in the process. He's also a sore loser, with Optimus recalling [[Champion\|an incident]] in which his team risked their lives to legitimately win a [[Planet Cup\|racing trophy]] that might save many worlds, only for Megatron to try and take it by force.

	Optimus reveals that the Autobots have access to a vast array of technology to aid in their missions. Their most frequently used tools are their weapons, such as [[plasma cannon]]s, which expend enough energy to power a small Earth city. These energy readings can reach unfathomable heights through augmentation via ancient power sources like a [[Cyber Key]], which contains a small amount of power from Cybertron's core, or a [[Mini-Con]], a small helper robot with great powers of their own. But for as destructive as plasma cannons are, some [[sword]]s are among the most powerful weapons in the universe. Though these weapons are powerful, Optimus explains, they are only a means to an end. Power for power's sake is meaningless compared to the importance of the battle between good and evil, life and destruction, which is why the Autobots must stop the Decepticons by any means.

	But as Optimus says, the Autobots have one important weapon that the Decepticons don't: teamwork. Optimus knows he can fully count on every member of his team, just as they can on him. Whether backing each other up on the battlefield or literally [[Powerlinx\|joining ~~together~~ to fight as one]], Optimus knows being able to rely on one another will assure their victory.

	Every time Optimus thinks Megatron is beaten, he somehow returns more corrupt and horrible than ever, always with a new plan to destroy the universe. But Optimus has faith in his team, knowing that each new friend and ally will strengthen their cause and get them one step closer to their final victory. And that's why Optimus asks [[you]] to join him and the Autobots in their fight to save Earth from Megatron's evil, knowing that together, they cannot be defeated!

The robot introduces himself as Optimus Prime, and says that he comes from the planet [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]. While once a peaceful, sunlit planet, thousands of years of war have ravaged Cybertron, turning it into a shell of the world that Prime once knew.

	As the war progressed, the conflict spread beyond Cybertron, with "countless" other worlds becoming caught up in it. If the Decepticons aren't stopped here and now, Prime proclaims, the Earth will be destroyed... and he '''can't''' let that happen!
