(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

At the end of the episode, Shockwave turns into his "true colors" purple form, represented by a Target exclusive redeco reminiscent of the G1 namesake's color scheme.

The Autobot Council's headquarters is known as "Metroplex", and the Elite Guard's battle station is "Fortress Maximus".

Sentinel Prime's propaganda broadcast concludes with him saying "I'm Sentinel Prime and I approve this message"--in the style of contemporary political campaign ads.

Shockwave's slow, deadpan delivery of "I'm afraid I can't let you do that" is a reference to the menacing supercomputer HAL from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
