	*The flashback of Shockwave and Soundwave on the asteroid occurs concurrently with [[All His Engines\|issue #7 of the ongoing]]; in particular, the scene of Decepticons cannibalizing one another is lifted directly from that issue and shows Needlenose, Shrapnel, and Kickback eating Dreadwind.		*The flashback of Shockwave and Soundwave on the asteroid occurs concurrently with [[All His Engines\|issue #7 of the ongoing]]; in particular, the scene of Decepticons cannibalizing one another is lifted directly from that issue and shows Needlenose, Shrapnel, and Kickback eating Dreadwind.

	*Soundwave describes [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Galvatron]] as a hero of the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]], a conflict first revealed to have taken place in the [[Primus: All Good Things\|2012 ''Robot in Disguise'' annual]]. The introduction of this war into continuity also patched an old error from [[Heart of Darkness issue 3\|''Heart of Darkness'' #3]], in which Galvatron knew the "ancient Headmaster" [[Thinkbox]] from a time of war; that's flagged up again here where it is noted that Galvatron vanquished these mysterious ancient Headmasters. Issues [[Earthfall Chapter 3: The Mind Bomb\|#30]] and [[The Crucible\|#34]] would subsequently depict relevant portions of the war involving the ancient Headmasters and Galvatron.		*Soundwave describes [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Galvatron]] as a hero of the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]], a conflict first revealed to have taken place in the [[Primus: All Good Things\|2012 ''Robot in Disguise'' annual]].

	*Soundwave notes that the present-day Bombshell is a "different Bombshell" than the one Shockwave knew from his time among the Decepticons prior to his dormancy on Earth, which is a nod toward an old IDW continuity error. Bombshell first appeared in IDW continuity in ''[[Spotlight: Blaster]]'', only for ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron]]'' to ignore that appearance and introduce the character in the present day as a newly created being. The full extent of Soundwave's words isn't yet clear.		*Soundwave notes that the present-day Bombshell is a "different Bombshell" than the one Shockwave knew from his time among the Decepticons prior to his dormancy on Earth, which is a nod toward an old IDW continuity error.
