Quotes
Notes
Errors
- "Hear" is used in place of "here" in the sentence "This Fortress Maximus is no more a Builder than the transport that brought you hear is part of you."
Continuity notes
- More detail is fleshed out for this timeline and how the war ended this way, namely that the Human Confederation (probably the Confederation of Terran Worlds), now more advanced than Transformers, forced them to Cybertron. We'd hear more about them in "Ask Vector Prime", via a reference to the Confederated Terran Colonial Fleet.
- This follows a few days on from "Broken Windshields" but the Great Uprising is only now kicking off for real, much to the shock and horror of many characters at the pub.
- Cheetor as "first resistor" nods back to the earliest Uprising fiction, Blackarachnia's bio.
Transformers references
- Buzzclaw's bundle of nerves under a brave front and Armordillo's patient, murderous stalking are both in line with their Beast Wars Sourcebook bios.
- The given origin for Fortress Maximus is broadly in line with "The Rebirth".
- The Cyberdroids are a reference to two Japanese redecos of Cerebros and a UK Annual's wrong name for Galen.
- The following characters are mentioned or referenced, but do not appear in the story proper: Diver, Drancron, Frostbite, Vamp, Omega Sentinel, Rage, Autostinger, Nightviper, Scourge, Razorclaw, Megatron, Liege Maximo, Trypticon, Cerebros, Spike Witwicky, Daniel Witwicky, Galen Witwicky, Zebres, Emissary, Gasket, Grommet, Cog, Cog, Koka, Onomisu, Cheetor, Grimlock, Preditron, and the Tripredacus Council. The "Titans" are also referred to as a group.
- Further mentioned in the Cybertronix text are: Llyra and Olin Witwicky.
Real world references
