Notes
- JAMES ROBERTS!
- The flashbacks takes place before Megatron Origin and fill in a lot of details that the miniseries left out: namely, why Megatron is already so angry and willing to turn to violence.
- Some graffiti in Megatron's cell reads "peace through tyranny", the motto from original bio.
- The free lab on Kimia that Xaaron mentions is Ironfist's old one.
- That's right, another IDW-created interim Prime! Nominus Prime comes before Sentinel Prime.
- The Transformers are established as a pariah race, shunned by the intergalactic community and Galactic Council.
- The montage of war scenes include: Stormbringer, Infiltration, Spotlight: Arcee, The Transformers: Drift, Escalation, Spotlight: Kup, Spotlight: Shockwave, The Transformers: Ironhide, Devastation, ...For All Mankind, and Heart of Darkness.
- Sherma Bridge is a nod to the infamous Sherman Dam punchup.
- The variable voltage harness comes from the original Marvel comics. Also mentioned are Pathblasters, communicubes and Shanix from the Marvel UK comics.
- The Tremorcons mentioned are from Roberts' "Bullets", while Rung is from the "Last Stand of the Wreckers" Autopedia profiles.
Errors
- Megatron Origin and Spotlight: Drift had an unnamed Orion Pax, with the unspoken but clear implication that this is a pre-Prime Prime. Here, before either story, Optimus is already in his usual Cybertronian Optimus form.
