	* The visions shown to Wheeljack by Ravage are of the events of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Due to the fact that the movie did not make it to [[Japan]] until 1989, Japanese production staff were not aware of precisely which characters met their end during its events, and as a consequence, Wheeljack appeared alive and well in the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)\|Victory]]'' cartoon that same year. The plot introduced in this chapter involving the GT System is Hirofumi Ichikawa's attempted explanation for how Wheeljack could both appear to die and yet still show up alive later. However, the whole "parallel universe" thing, coupled with the even more convoluted time-and space-bending events that will occur later in the ''Binaltech'' storyline, make it hard to know if the explanation actually applies to the mainstream cartoon universe.		* The visions shown to Wheeljack by Battle Ravage are of the events of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.
