			* In addition to being an absolute mouthful, the Japanese name for this episode ''Mystery Insect Transformation! Forest of the Spider Woman!'' is also inaccurate, as spiders are arachnids rather than insects.

	* Arcee, Cliffjumper, and Bumblebee didn't have different robot bodies on Cybertron, retaining all of their Earth vehicle-specific [[kibble]] long before reaching Earth. This is likely due to budget concerns, as creating new models for a two-minute flashback sequence would be impractical. By contrast, Optimus and Soundwave in "[[One Shall Rise, Part 3]]" ''do'' have distinct Cybertronic forms – but only appear as stillshot animatics rather than as fully rendered CG models.		* Arcee, Cliffjumper, and Bumblebee didn't have different robot bodies on Cybertron, retaining all of their Earth vehicle-specific [[kibble]] long before reaching Earth.

Jamie Simone was previously a producer for the English dub of [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)\|Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001)]] and is also the owner of the recording studio for which Prime was recorded at Studiopolis.
			* Predatory also has the honour of being the episode with the least amount of voice actors involved with their only being 3 ([[Sumalee Montano]], [[Josh Keaton]] and [[Gina Torres]]) despite their being numerous other characters who do appear in this episode, all are silent. In some ways this is the shows bottle episode in a sense even with new locations and other characters appearing.
