Quotes

"'Til all are one!"

Spectators at the execution of Cy-Kill.


Cameos

  • Megatron's opponent: Cy-Kill from the Go-Bots toyline in a familar situation for him.
  • Megatron's audience: Skyquake, Starscream, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Spinister, SeaWing, Crasher (again from the GoBots)
  • Prowl's men: Blades Roadbuster Whirl Hound Jazz


Items of note

  • The markings on Cy- err, Megatron's opponent's shoulder possibly represent the number of kills he has.
  • During the first fight, Megatron wears an emblem around his neck that resembles what might become the Decepticon insignia.
  • One of the gladiators mentions the departed "Betabear", since he was in a combat arena for robots, we can assume Betabear is a godless killing machine.
