Notes
[edit]- During Tailgate's ceremony, Rodimus states that Ambulon was the last to have it performed, ten years ago. Though the timings in and around All Hail Megatron are a bit confused, it seems like Drift may have missed out on his, as he joined the Autobots during these years. Indeed, Drift's affiliation seems officially tied to the "Reintegration Act" according to More than Meets the Eye #1 and #9. In the latter, Rodimus "jokingly" threatened to revoke the Act if Drift didn't respond to his hails.
