Quotes
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.
- As with characters in previous stories, Wolfang's body is based on an existing toy; his Maximal form is based on the Universe Sunstreaker mold, while his Predacon form is based on that mold's Sideswipe retool, which rotates the upper torso around. This does, however, contradict the Beast Wars: Uprising lithograph sold at BotCon 2016, which depicted Wolfang in a body based on Generations Drift, instead.
Errors
Continuity notes
- The Targetmaster Extirpation was mentioned in passing back in "Burning Bridges", with no elaboration beyond what it meant.
- Similarly, during that story, Wolfang made an appearance where his leg change from the original toy's colour-scheme to that of the other Wolfang, which at the time just looked like a harmless reference.
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 Animated incarnation.
- The Predacon Secret Police headquarters have statues dedicated to the Decepticon Justice Division. As in the IDW Generation 1 continuity, the names of the DJD are titles assumed by multiple individuals; here, Counterpunch held the role of Helex.
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".[1]
- Large parts of the first half of the story are a reference to every hardboiled cop story ever (Wolfang as the bitter detective, Aura the weary superior, Monxo running a dive-bar where the cop picks up clues, Blackarachnia the dangerous femme fatale, etc, etc...).
