	*And with this issue, the fourth and final of the original 1986 "[[Special Teams\|Special Team]]" combiners finally makes an appearance, a mere 6 years after the first one appeared ''way'' back in [[Things Fall Apart, Part 4: "Enemies of the System"\|The Transformers #5]].

	*The memory Onslaught recovers from Swindle is from [[First Contact (IDW)\|''The Transformers'' #39]]. Pitre-Durocher redraws the final panel from page 16 of that issue, and the whole scene is presented with a slightly murky, static-textured overlay in a likely nod to the art style of [[Livio Ramondelli]], who drew that issue. Starscream is correctly drawn in the ''[[Starscream (Armada)\|Armada]]''-inspired body he was sporting at the time.		*The memory Onslaught recovers from Swindle is from [[First Contact (IDW)\|''The Transformers'' #39]].

	*The names "[[Technimus]]" and "[[Exhaust]]" seen scored into Chromia's skin in [[07:00:00\|issue #1]] are revealed to be those of the civilians who died in her bombing from [[A 'Bot and Her City\|''Windblade'' vol. 1 #1]]. The third 'bot who died is named [[Scrap Cruncher]], but we don't see his full name; only the letters "er" are visible on part of her upper head. Presumably, his name is on the other side.		*The names "[[Technimus]]" and "[[Exhaust]]" seen scored into Chromia's skin in [[07:00:00\|issue #1]] are revealed to be those of the civilians who died in her bombing from [[A 'Bot and Her City\|''Windblade'' vol. 1 #1]].
