Continuity notes
Transformers references
- Crazybolt appears to share some of the coloration used by his RID 2015 counterpart.
- A similar fate befell a different Trypticon.
- This is not the first time the Destructon plans were messed with by the Logicons.
- At the end of the story is an ad from Swindle, Swindle and Swindle. In true Jim Sorenson fashion, it's chock-full of references, including...
- The Triptych Mask is a double reference: not only is it based off of the supernatural tripartite mask worn by Onyx Prime, the three mask pieces here are shaped like an elephant, a bird of prey, and a lion, referencing Magnaboss and the beast modes of his components.
- The inspiration counter, Deep Earth Scouts and the invisible phone are inventions from the Rescue Bots cartoon.
- The Mini-Con panels debuted in the Transformers: Armada.
- Plasma dynamic thrusters are from the Animated franchise. The advertising blurb mentions its capability to warp Transformers around the galaxy, and encounter "rock monsters"; both of which happened in "TransWarped".
- The Omega Key s are from the Prime cartoon, but the accompanying blurb describes their propensity to "throw entire dimensions out of kilter" - a reference to "Echoes and Fragments", where Sideways and Gong used an Omega Key to do just that.
Real world references
- Fittingly for a story set in the late 24th century, the human uniforms in this story bear a resemblance to the Starfleet uniforms of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
- Trypticon's "death" draws inspiration from HAL 9000's defeat in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Cementing the homage, Trypticon pleads that he can "feel [his] mind going", before finally admitting that he is afraid -- dialogue lifted almost verbatim from the film.
