Notes
[edit]Continuity notes
[edit]- The first scene of Trypticon's battle with Metroplex takes place immediately after Scramble City: Mobilization's cliffhanger ending. The fact that Metroplex lost his transformation cog in this battle was also mentioned in Vol. 27 as the reason why he couldn't transform to robot mode in the movie, and presumably the damage caused by the antimatter projector here is why he was in city mode to begin with.
- The first design used for Full-Tilt as Trypticon's chestplate is lifted straight from the Scramble City: Mobilization OVA, which used an older unfinalized character model for season 3 of the Generation 1 cartoon and was based purely on poorly angled photographs of the toy sample.
- Galvatron II thinks about how he's come from the future; this part of his complex journey through Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity was revealed in the Unite Warriors online manga, which also mentioned his death portrayed here. These manga also introduced the idea of there being two different Trypticons, distinguishing them by the different character models and Japanese names the character had in Scramble City versus Transformers 2010.
- Trypticon's first reconstruction takes place during "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4". Humorously, this comic replicates a coloring error from the episode that saw Long Haul colored like the "U-Haul Robot".
- Swerve and Tailgate's battle with Trypticon (with Rattrap present) was depicted in LG08 Swerve & Tailgate, appropriately published in 2015.
- Trypticon was destroyed by Dai Atlas in "Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!".
- The design of Full-Tilt's personality component is based on Brawl's as seen in "B.O.T.". As it happens, the chest details on the toy's Headmaster (which was originally based on the Marvel-original character Wipe-Out) match up somewhat well with the personality components' details.
Transformers references
[edit]- This is the second time in as many months that a Galvatron has been killed in a comic, with his head as the largest fragment left behind, and in both instances, said version of Galvatron was not resurrected as a Headmaster despite a Headmaster-style toy being available on shelves. More proof that great minds think alike.
