Trivia
- The art strongly implies that the Golden Disk Megatron found in the Forbidden Zones is connected to the one found on Paradron. A promotional image by Don Figueroa (which became a cover) portrayed the Paradron disk as the Voyager's Golden Disk, though this cannot be discerned from the art of the series itself.
- Countdown's discovery of the disk predates the Voyager's creation by 3.5 million years.
- Countdown claimed he had pursued Skystalker all the way to Paradron's core, but the art shows Skystalker surreptitiously tailing Countdown and Groundshaker. Given that Countdown conceals the Disk's existence from Fortress Maximus and Ultra Magnus in his retelling, this may represent a deliberate concealment of something else that led him to Paradron's core.
