Quotes
Bulkhead: These AllSpark fragments should give the power core a boost.
Sumdac: Be careful, Bulkhead! We don't want to overload it.
Bulkhead: Relax. When it comes to space bridges, I know what I'm doing.
[The floor starts to give way beneath them]
Bulkhead: But I'm not so hot at structural integrity!
- —Bulkhead and Sumdac learn that there are flaws with building a giant space bridge in a tower.
"Oh, I so don't have time for this."
- —Optimus Prime, in desperate need of some leave.
Lugnut: "Uh, you promise me you will, uh, never speak of this to Megatron..."
Liar Starscream: "Oh, I promise."
- —Epic foreshadowing of something that, sadly, probably won't be brought up again.
Notes
Animation or technical errors
Continuity errors
- When Bulkhead confronts Mixmaster and Scrapper, they speak to Bulkhead as if they remembered the events that transpired in Rise of the Constructicons, saying that "they dont work for no stinkin' Autobots anymore" and referring to Bulkhead as "Bulky". Nevertheless nothing forbid that they may have remembered at some point, but if that's the case, it wasn't showed when.
- Where did the AllSpark fragments in the beginning of the episode come from? All the previously collected pieces the Autobots found were placed into Omega Supreme last season.
Transformers references
- The Headmaster unit was recovered last episode.
- The Fossil Fuels Oil Company's logo is essentially an Animated version of Sludge, doing an impression of the Sinclair Oil logo.
- It's not the first series to have a space bridge in a tower.
- Ramjet and Lugnut flying off into space is similar to Starscream flying into space at the end of the live action movie
Real-world references
- Scrapper and Mixmaster are found drinking heavily in a manufacturing plant that is deconstructing luxury cars piece by piece. Striptease, anyone?
- The climactic scene with Dirt Boss on top of the oil take is closely based on the ending of the gangster movie White Heat.
Trivia
- Ratchet appears in the episode and does a few things, but never speaks.
- Dirt Boss's design is very reminiscient of another mind-controlling supervillain.
- What exactly did Dirt Boss hope to accomplish by climbing up to the top of the oil tank, again?
