Notes

Technical/Animation Glitches

• Glitch

Continuity errors

• The flashback to the battle between the Ark and the Nemesis recounted by Optimus Primal and Megatron neglect to mention that the Decepticons boarded the Ark before the crash. This was probably done to either simplify the retelling, increase the significance of the Nemesis' involvement, or both.
• Some fans state the inclusion of a space battle and the lack of a tractor beam is an error, but these elements (or lack of them) were only present in the animated series' version of the crash. Additional versions, such as the crash depicted in the Marvel Comics, did indeed have a space battle and there was no tractor beam. (In fact, the Nemesis did not crash, but instead it was parked beneath the ocean by Shockwave.) It should be mentioned that Beast Wars is not a direct continuation of any specific continuity by design, seeking to treat all previous Generation 1 stories as if they were Arthurian legend, so most claims of continuity error in the flashback would be fruitless.

Real-World References

• Inferno calls Rampage a drone, a type of ant, at least once in this episode. It is unknown whether the writers knew that a drone is a male ant whose main purpose is to mate with the queen, who in this case would be Megatron.
