	*So, ~~hey, here~~'~~s Scylla from~~ ''[[Beast Wars ~~II: Super Lifeform~~ Transformers (~~franchise~~)\|Beast Wars II]]~~'' to replace~~ [[~~Tentakil~~ (G1)\|~~Tentakil~~]], ~~who died in~~ the ~~previous chapter~~. [[~~Autoroller~~]]s Autojetter and Autolauncher ~~also hail~~ from ~~that franchise~~.		* Upon seeing Earth, Depth Charge recalls dim memories. This might have something to do with the origin given for ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' in "[[A Change to the Agenda]]", which posited it as a universe created when both Prime and Megatron were taken offline aboard the Ark during the Beast Wars. Not that it really mattered to the majority of stories from that universe...
	*Depth Charge ~~mistakenly calls Ultra~~ Magnus "~~Maximal.~~" ~~His reasons~~ for ~~doing so are made clear~~ in ~~later installments~~.		* The Autobots attempt to use a [[sky-sled]] to reach the stasis pods, originally seen in issue [[On the Edge of Extinction!\|#75]] of the Marvel ''The Transformers'' comic.

			===Transformers references===
			* The stasis pods and experiment bodies are obviously based on the stasis pods seen in the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon, the experimental bodies being a version of [[protoform]]s, which has been depicted as an evolutionary leap that would not be achieved until the advent of the Maximals and Predacons. Evidently, the Autobots of the Classicsverse were working a bit earlier than most universes. Their conversion into Decepticons is presumably achieved via a shell program, as was the case with [[Blackarachnia (BW)\|Blackarachnia]] and [[Inferno (BW)\|Inferno]] in the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon, Maximal protoforms turned into Predacons.
			* New names Magnus tries for the Autobots include [[Anibot]]s, prototypical versions of the [[Predacon (G1)\|Predacon]]s from an early script for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', and Biocombatants, after the Italian name for the ''Beast Wars'' toyline, ''Biocombat''.
			* Prowl uses hics, a unit of measurement introduced in Marvel UK annual story, "[[The Magnificent Six!]]".
			* Scylla, Autojetter, and Autolauncher all come from ''Beast Wars II''.

			===Errors===
			* The chapter title is missing. It was later revealed on the forum site Allspark by Jesse Wittenrich.
			* Depth Charge is depicted as roughly normal Cybertronian-size, about half the height of Ultra Magnus; being a Maximal, he shouldn't even reach Magnus' knees.
