	* Autobot casualties in Los Angeles include [[Rodimus (SG)\|Rodimus]] and [[Sideswipe (SG)\|Sideswipe]], who both played major roles in the original ''Shattered Glass'' stories. Sideswipe's body prominently displays an intact Autobot insignia, suggesting that, unlike his Fun Publications counterpart, he never changed sides.		* Autobot casualties in Los Angeles include [[Rodimus (SG)\|Rodimus]] and [[Sideswipe (SG)\|Sideswipe]], who both played major roles in the original ''Shattered Glass'' stories. Sideswipe's body prominently displays an intact Autobot insignia, suggesting that, unlike his Fun Publications counterpart, he never changed sides.
	* Bumblebee's original body never appeared in the original ''Shattered Glass'' comics or prose stories. His appearance here has him copping the white and purple color scheme from his [[Bumblebee (SG Animated)\|''Shattered Glass Animated'']] counterpart, who was in turn conceived as a homage to [[BotCon 2007]]'s [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Timelines\|''Timelines'' Bug Bite]]. Here, Bumblebee is modeled on his positive counterpart's 2020 [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy\|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Walmart toy]], not to be confused with ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)\|Generations Selects]]'' [[Bug Bite (G1)#Generations Selects\|Bug Bite]], which employs the body of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Earthrise]]'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Cliffjumper]] despite also homaging the BotCon toy.		* Bumblebee's original body never appeared in the original ''Shattered Glass'' comics or prose stories.

	* It goes without saying that Starscream describing his [[spark]] as an "indestructible safe" hearkens back to the character's traditional "indestructible spark" as one of his character traits, which was first established in the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)\|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon "[[Possession]]".		* It goes without saying that Starscream describing his [[spark]] as an "indestructible safe" hearkens back to the character's traditional "indestructible spark" as one of his character traits, which was first established in the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)\|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon episodes "[[Possession]]" and "[[Bad Spark]]".

	* The [[Shattered Glass issue 1\|first issue]] of this miniseries primarily used characters who hadn't appeared in the original ''Shattered Glass'' run or had already appeared in Hasbro's new ''Generations'' subline. This issue features a huge number of characters who'd appeared in some way, shape, or form in the original ''Shattered Glass'' run; although most sport bodies based on their most recent ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)\|Generations]]'' ~~toyline~~, all of them are colored to resemble their original ''Shattered Glass'' selves—examples include a yellow and grey Shockwave, a black Ironhide, a Ratbat colored to resemble [[Batman]], and a... well, let's just say "aggressively technicolored" Thundercracker. One notable exception is Prowl, who's had a made-up white, blue, and lime paintjob applied to his [[Prowl (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege\|''Siege'' toy]].		* The [[Shattered Glass issue 1\|first issue]] of this miniseries primarily used characters who hadn't appeared in the original ''Shattered Glass'' run or had already appeared in Hasbro's new ''Generations'' subline.

	** While the previous ''Shattered Glass'' universe established Optimus and Megatron as an evil librarian and a heroic university professor with no apparent connections to one another, most if not all contemporary ''Transformers'' stories have adopted some version of the ''[[Transformers: Exodus\|Exodus]]'' novel as a backstory, most notably by depicting Optimus and Megatron as friends and political contemporaries during Cybertron's pre-war era. While Megatron's disenfranchised miner backstory has been a staple of the character since the days of ''[[The Transformers: Megatron Origin\|Megatron Origin]]'', its depiction of Orion Pax as a police officer serving a corrupt Senate hew much closer to [[2005 IDW continuity\|IDW's first ''Transformers'' universe]]. Furthering the connection, Megatron's accusations of Pax's "secret police" echo the sinister [[Institute]] from ''More than Meets the Eye''.		** While the previous ''Shattered Glass'' universe established Optimus and Megatron as an evil librarian and a heroic university professor with no apparent connections to one another, most if not all contemporary ''Transformers'' stories have adopted some version of the ''[[Transformers: Exodus\|Exodus]]'' novel as a backstory, most notably by depicting Optimus and Megatron as friends and political contemporaries during Cybertron's pre-war era.

	* The first two flashbacks take heavy inspiration from the works of [[James Roberts]]—together, they constitute a bizarro version of Megatron's rise to power as depicted in the [[Chaos Theory Part 1\|"Chaos Theory"]] duology, and feature additional story elements lifted from ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\|More than ~~meets~~ the Eye]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "[[Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc\|Shadowplay]]" arc.		* The first two flashbacks take heavy inspiration from the works of [[James Roberts]]—together, they constitute a bizarro version of Megatron's rise to power as depicted in the [[Chaos Theory Part 1\|"Chaos Theory"]] duology, and feature additional story elements lifted from ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\|More than Meets the Eye]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "[[Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc\|Shadowplay]]" arc.
