	*A deleted sequence near the end featuring the Constructicons is present in the [[dialogue script]]. It's a little hard to figure out what they would've been doing, but Mixmaster takes the "cackling witch" part of his Bio literally with the dropped line "Boil, boil, toil and trouble...acid eat and rocks go bubble!" - an intentional mangling of the witches' chant from ''Macbeth''.		*A deleted sequence near the end featuring the Constructicons is present in the [[dialogue script]].

	*This episode is one of a trio, including "[[City of Steel (episode)\|City of Steel]]" and "[[The Autobot Run]]", that was animated by the Korean studio [[AKOM]]. They are distinguished by simplistic art, prominent use of the Constructicons, surprisingly high frame rates, some Hanna-Barbara-style animation shortcuts, and various character model oddities, such as Optimus Prime's white backpack (which would show up again in "[[The Rebirth, Part 1\|The Rebirth]]") and Chip Chase's blue jacket... not to mention a ''crapload'' of animation errors. Sheesh, AKOM.		*This episode is one of a trio, including "[[City of Steel (episode)\|City of Steel]]" and "[[The Autobot Run]]", that was animated by the Korean studio [[AKOM]].

	*It does seem a little out of character for the Autobots to resort to mind control, especially with their leader’s whole thing being, “Freedom is the right of all sentient beings”. However it is established that the Constructicons are already under mind control, from Megatron using the Robosmasher to reprogram them from good to evil. So the Autobots are technically Mind-controlling mind-controlled bots to essentially act more like their old selves (Is this a case where two wrongs do in fact make a right?). Or possible, in universe, this is them trying to test possible permanent fixes for the Robosmasher’s reprogramming. Too bad Omega couldn’t enjoy some time with his old friends.
	*Optimus Prime's last lines in this episode - "The future is built on dreams" - is notable as [[Peter Cullen]]'s words of encouragement to a young fan of Optimus Prime in real life, dying of a terminal illness. To this day, when interviewed about this line, Cullen will invariably be moved to tears by its memory, such was his love for the child. A true man amongst men, if there ever was one.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2011/09/30/transformers-peter-cullen-life-as-optimus-prime IGN interview with Peter Cullen]</ref>		*Optimus Prime's last lines in this episode - "The future is built on dreams" - is notable as [[Peter Cullen]]'s words of encouragement to a young fan of Optimus Prime in real life, dying of a terminal illness.

	*The Earth's core is believed to be around 3959 miles below the surface. So like, is the Decepticon's drill four thousand miles long? That means that before they started drilling, if the tip was touching the Earth's surface, the top would be ''in outer space''.

	*Megatron stops Starscream from sniping the Autobots as Optimus Prime reels them up the cliff, arguing that killing six Autobots would be pointless since he plans on having Devastator destroy all the Autobots at the right moment. When that moment comes, there are still only (give or take) six Autobots to be had. Should have gone with your gut, Starscream.		*Megatron stops Starscream from sniping the Autobots as Optimus Prime reels them up the cliff, arguing that killing six Autobots would be pointless since he plans on having Devastator destroy all the Autobots at the right moment.
