	*T-AI's explanation of the command ~~black~~/black box in ''Car Robots'' doesn't really tell us anything we don't know, but in ''Robots in Disguise'', the technical elements of the system are played up, and an explanation is added in to justify why Cerebros obeyed Scourge but Fortress Maximus didn't. Koji and Maximus's connection is described in more [[burning spirit]]-y terms in ''Car Robots'', with "heroic spirits" reaching out to one another, while ''Robots in Disguise'' opts for a more sci-fi approach, talking about a mental link akin to telepathy.		*T-AI's explanation of the command block/black box in ''Car Robots'' doesn't really tell us anything we don't know, but in ''Robots in Disguise'', the technical elements of the system are played up, and an explanation is added in to justify why Cerebros obeyed Scourge but Fortress Maximus didn't.
