Notes

Continuity notes

• Megatron and Elita are performing cleanup duty at the same naval yard where the battle against Mandroid's giant mech fortress took place in Age of Evolution, Part 2. The battleship that was flung on top of the warehouse is still there and visible in many shots.
• Megatron has a scar on the side of his chest where Mandroid attempted to surgically remove his arm.

Real-world references

• Mo and Thrash's giant monster home movie is an obvious reference to Godzilla. The musical bit that plays during it even evokes the King of the Monsters' signature theme.
• Mo's red-haired humanoid lion action figure seems to reference Lion-O from ThunderCats.
