Notes
[edit]- Characters mentioned in the Animated tech specs include: Soundwave.
- The Quintesson Collective that Aquarius belongs to is heavily influenced by the Federation of Star Trek, including the dissolution of the concept of material value, and a "Prime Directive" to not mess with developing species (that Aquarius doesn't follow), inverting the positive-universe Quintessons, who are a greedy, capitalistic species.
- The Shattered Glass universe is given a universal stream designation: Primax -408.24 Epsilon.
- Characters mentioned in the Technobot's profiles include: Grimlock, Optimus Prime, and Alpha Trion.
- Computron used to be a super intelligent genius, but is now a lumbering brute. Computron attempted to grant Grimlock intelligence, reversing the process their positive-universe counterpart's went through in the Generation 1 cartoon episode "Grimlock's New Brain". All of the Technobot's personalities are inversions of their positive-universe counterparts as well.
- Computron's alkaline pellet gun is inverted from his positive universe counterpart's acid pellet gun (alkaline (or basic) being the opposite of acid).
- Characters mentioned in Steeljaw's profile include: Blaster and Ravage.
- Steeljaw uses the body of his positive-universe counterpart, but in the colors of the Black Lion from the anime series Voltron.
- Steeljaw is lazy, unlike his tenacious positive-universe counterpart.
- The Shattered Glass recap uses art from all four text stories. Unfortunately, "Blitzwing Bop" would not see publication until November, 5 months after publication of this issue.
- The recap also refers to Optimus as the "Autobot High Warlord", possibly in reference to the movie universe Megatron's title of (Lord) High Protector.
