Moreover, it is made even more explicit in this version of the scene that Megatron has never heard of Starscream before first meeting him in this episode, with him flat-out expressing an unfamiliarity with him.		::*Blackarachnia's brief history lesson about the Decepticons' war with the Autobots, and both being the ancient ancestors of the Predacons and Maximals, respectively, is completely rewritten to be entirely about Starscream being a "legendary warrior of Destron history."

			**Both Doug Parker and [[Scott McNeil]] auditioned for Starscream but ultimately Parker was chosen simply cause McNeil already had 3 characters to voice in this episode.

This idea was abandoned early on because a model of Starscream had already been made for "[[The Web]]".

	*Looking at the intro sequence with Starscream's spark, he appears to touch down on a continent that resembles North America, somewhere in the southwest United States (apparently Arizona). The terrain and creatures in ''Beast Wars'' suggest that it takes place in Africa and the presence of the standing stones, though not necessarily Stonehenge, suggest Britain. The shots from space in "[[Chain of Command (BW)\|Chain of Command]]" also show continents that don't match North America. On the other hand, it makes sense, since "[[The Agenda (Part III)]]" puts the ''Axalon'' and the [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]] within commuting distance. It's not too wild to assume that the spark kept commuting for an unknown distance even after touching down either. The fact that Starscream admits later to have seen the damage inflicted to the Maximal base "before acquiring this body" also alludes to this scenario, that he commuted after touching down. (When we see the planet at the end of the episode, it looks like the same model that we've seen before, with continents that resemble North and South America right next to two other large land masses in a formation that doesn't match present-day Earth.)		*Looking at the intro sequence with Starscream's spark, he appears to touch down on a continent that resembles North America, somewhere in the southwest United States (apparently Arizona).

	**On that same note, both Blackarachnia and Dinobot knew about Starscream, even though Primal stated that his records were sealed. It's possible that the records were sealed only to the Maximals (as Primal notes it was the Maximal Elders who sealed them), but given what we'll learn of the state of Maximal/Predacon relations on Cybertron and the Maximal Elders' dirty little secrets, that explanation is rather hard to believe.		**On that same note, both Blackarachnia and Dinobot knew about Starscream, even though Primal stated that his records were sealed.
