Notes

• A trigger warning is a warning that a work contains content which could act as a trauma trigger.
• The Autobot leader that Overrun was bonded to goes conspicuously unnamed, but the fact that he refers to Hi-Q and Apex – coupled with the fact that his basis was the partner of an Optimus Prime – would seem to strongly indicate that said leader was Optimus Prime; his name was presumably written out to account for the fact that A Change to the Agenda established that the Beast Wars: Uprising universe's version of Optimus Prime died on the Ark.

Transformers references

• Tarantulas working with the Mayhem Attack Squad, but not being a member? We've seen that before.
• Blackarachnia's first alias, "Venus", references her Beast Wars voice actress Venus Terzo, while her second, "Elita", references the previous identity of her Transformers Animated incarnation.

Real world references

• Wolfang wasn't initially intended to be a reference to Bigby Wolf of Fables, but once author David Bishop realised the similarity, he "steered into it".
