	* This story reveals that most of the main cast of ''Transformers'' were in a band either before or during the war. That just rules.		* This story reveals that most of the main cast of ''Transformers'' were in a band either before or during the war. That just rules.
	* Where exactly this story fits in with the ongoing narrative of the ''Transformers'' series is unclear, but it would appear to be some sort of flash forward. One key detail to note is that the “present day” pages show Optimus with his normal right arm, not [[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]]'s, which he's had since [[Transformers (2023) issue 4\|''Transformers'' #4]] (the same issue where Jazz was first awoken, meaning it can't take place earlier).		* Where exactly this story fits in with the ongoing narrative of the ''Transformers'' series is unclear, but it would appear to be some sort of flash forward.

Later developments in the ongoing mean that currently, we have to slot it between [[Transformers (2023) issue 27\|#27]] and [[Transformers (2023) issue 28\|#28]], after Optimus’ arm was repaired but before he passed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to [[Elita One (G1)\|Elita One]] in [[Transformers (2023) issue 30\|#30]] (#28-30 take place back-to-back). Even so, there doesn’t seem to be enough time between #27 and #28 for a night to have passed, so we'll have to see.
	** This story, currently, ~~can only take place after the ending of~~ issue 27 (~~when Optimus gets his right arm back~~), ~~and~~ before the ~~ending~~ of issue 28 ~~(when the autobot rally~~ to ~~fight the Decepticons~~) ~~Anytime before or after that Optimus either does not have his right arm~~, ~~Jazz is not~~ there~~, there is no moments where Optimus~~ and ~~Jazz can leave at~~ night to ~~go there~~, ~~and the Spoilers for issue 30~~'~~s ending (Which takes place the same afternoon as the ending of issue 28's ending~~.)
