	*"Aria-Bellum" is ~~apparently derived from the [[Latin language\|~~Latin]] for "solo combat". ~~This translation is~~ not ~~entirely accurate~~, as "aria" ~~specifically refers to~~ a ''~~musical~~'' ~~solo~~, ~~such~~ as ~~in an opera~~.		*"Aria-Bellum" is probably meant to look like Latin for "solo combat", but it is gibberish. ''Bellum'' means "war", not "combat", while "aria" is not Latin and only means "solo" in the sense of the Italian/English term for a solo-voiced song. "Solo combat" can be expressed in Latin in several ways, but a preexisting term is ''Certamen Singulare''. Alternatively, if "Aria-Bellum" is supposed to be poetic and reflect "song of war", the grammar is still off because that would require ''bellum'' to be rendered as ''belli''.
	*Hot Rod/Rodimus is never referred to by name. This may be intentional since this comic is set in the [[Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|cartoon continuity]] where his name is "Hot Rod", which, for the purposes of [[to sell toys\|toy selling]], Hasbro has been unable to [[trademark]] for a number of years.		*Hot Rod/Rodimus is never referred to by name.

	*There are two instances of [[Cybertronian language]] in the comic. The first labels the Planet of Junk as "Junkion" (duh) and the second says "Oh crap!"

	*Most characters who have or are going to have a toy in either the ''Reveal the Shield'' or ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)\|Generations]]'' lines use their new toy designs, while characters who aren't getting a new toy in either of those lines use their Generation 1 [[character model]]. The sole exceptions are Bumblebee, who uses something similar to his Generation 1 character model despite having a [[redeco]] of his ''[[Transformers: Classics\|Classics]]'' toy in the ''Reveal the Shield'' [[subline imprint\|subline]]; and Tracks, who uses his original character model despite getting a brand spanking new toy also in ''Reveal ~~The~~ Shield''. Notably, this was the first appearance of [[Warpath (G1)#Generations\|Warpath]]'s new toy design, which had yet to be revealed (officially ''or'' unofficially!) at the time of the comic's release.		*Most characters who have or are going to have a toy in either the ''Reveal the Shield'' or ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)\|Generations]]'' lines use their new toy designs, while characters who aren't getting a new toy in either of those lines use their Generation 1 [[character model]].

	*Cyclonus complains that the [[Cyclonus's Armada\|troops]] Unicron promised to provide for him never materialized. This is also perhaps the only time Cyclonus ever talks about his life prior to having been recreated by Unicron, though of course [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Who is Cyclonus?\|no previous Decepticon warrior is singled out]].		*Cyclonus complains that the [[Cyclonus's Armada (G1)\|troops]] Unicron promised to provide for him never materialized.
