	*This episode's got a weirdly generic title, not really related to anything that goes on in it, but it's not as random as it seems! In the first draft of the episode's script, Optimus Prime was supposed to dramatically order the Autobots to "ROLL FOR IT!" as they departed headquarters to engage the approaching Decepticons in the third-act final battle. However, [[Ron Friedman]]'s dialogue revisions changed the line to "Roll for freedom!"... and then the line was cut from the finished episode anyway! D'oh!		*This episode's got a weirdly generic title, not really related to anything that goes on in it, but it's not as random as it seems!

			*Sunstreaker's car-to-robot transformation in the tunnel is a close reconstruction of the in-tunnel transformation of his moldmate No. 1 Countach LP500S in the 1982 [[Diaclone#1982_-_Car_Robots\|Diaclone]] commercials.
	*In several scenes in this episode, all of the Transformers are drawn using different, more stylised animation models. In particular, the Decepticon jets seen near the beginning are sleeker, more detailed and have a drooping nosecone. Other scenes have stylized shading, angles, and poses, such as the strange poses used by the flying Decepticons at the episode's end.		*In several scenes in this episode, all of the Transformers are drawn using different, more stylised animation models.
