	*Despite making a "blink and you miss it" appearance during the title sequence, don't look for [[Grimlock (RID 2015)\|Grimlock]] making an appearance in the show until season 2!
	*This episode is set an unclear amount of time after the end of ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)\|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]''. Cody notes that he and his family have worked with the Rescue Bots for "years", and the fact Optimus can freely move about Cybertron without being targeted by the [[Autobot High Council\|High Council]] suggests it takes place after the events of the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)\|Robots in Disguise]]'' series finale.		*This episode is set an unclear amount of time after the end of ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)\|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]''.

	*The training center was built during the last season of ''Rescue Bots'', originally conceived in "[[New Normal]]" and completed in "[[The More Things Change...]]", though here it has been slightly redesigned and moved to a more mountainous area compared to its previous beachfront location. It's not explained why it took so long after its completion for them to actually conduct training classes in the training center - long enough for Cody to well and truly grow up.

Optimus has an offer for Hot Shot — he wants to recruit the young Autobot for a new team of [[Rescue Bot]]s.
