* The initial design of Optimus' jetpack resembles the booster pack from [[Jetfire (G1)|the original Jetfire]] (and thus, the FAST Packs from ''Super Dimension Fortress Macross''), and would thus be a reference to another Optimus combining with a Jetfire in [[Armada]]<!--and-->. It could also be seen as a reference to the final scenes of [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]] from the original series, when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] borrowed [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]'s rocket pack to chase [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s space cruiser.

Now, that's some upgrades...
  • Optimus's new flight attachments (specifically the colors and details of his wings and gauntlets) are based on God Ginrai's flight-endowing Godbomber components. The flight pack itself, to which the wings attach, doesn't seem to owe as much to the Masterforce character, appearing instead to resemble booster pack from the original Jetfire (and thus, the FAST Packs from Super Dimension Fortress Macross).
  • As he jets into the sky, Optimus shouts out "Yessssss!" and "Excellent". We've been waiting for this since Human Error, Part I.
  • The creation of the Lugnut Supremes, evil clones of Omega Supreme, harkens back to Omega Sentinel and the Dark Guardians.
  • Ratchet once again harps on the fact that "Autobots can't fly", a common if frequently broken rule throughout most of the Transformers fiction, before being confronted with the harsh reality.
  • This is not the first time that an Optimus has taken up a huge, Matrix-related melee weapon for the final battle against a Megatron.
