Notes
Transformers references
- Derrick J. Wyatt designed Cheetor with hexagonal spots to emulate the original Cheetor without looking overly organic, but the finished toy gives his vehicle mode a full-on organic-look cheetah spot pattern. If you look reeeal close, you'll spot the reason for the spots in this comic: when Pipes tumbles from his perch, he splatters black paint all over vehicle-mode Cheetor!
- Ramhorn, Volks and Chase were all designed for inclusion in the Animated cartoon, but didn't make it into any of its numerous crowd scenes. Troop and Sepelak seem to have gone out of their way to include them here in order to give them their only fictional appearances outside of The AllSpark Almanac II.
- Strongarm appears to be based on the body-type of Animated Brawn; a presumable reference to the unmade BotCon-exclusive version of Generation 1 Brawn that would have been based on the Energon Strongarm mold.
- Chromia's appearance hybridizes the two distinct designs she was simultaneously given by separate sources, by placing her Generation 1-inspired head (from Almanac II) on a blue Arcee-styled body (from the Japanese Transformers Cards game).
- The Wanted posters back at the station show Wasp and Mudflap, the latter being a new character based on the Cybertron incarnation of the character.
- Animated versions of Jackpot and Hubcap, two of Sepelak's favorite characters, appear in the police station. The duo's Generation 1 counterparts were previously seen together in the Sepelak-and-Troop penned "Gone Too Far", where they were interrogated by Stungun, an Animated version of whom appears to do the same thing here.
- And as it turns out, Jackpot shares a body type with Jazz, giving us our first glimpse at what the body type looked like before Jazz adopted an Earth mode. [1]
Real-world references
- TBA
Trivia
- The various signs and posters written in Ancient Autobot:
- Pipes and Huffer's sign is for "Motormaster's Stunt Convoy" with the starburst on the poster noting that it is "Live" (a lead-in to the plot of the upcoming BotCon 2011 comic)
- The ramp Crumplezone flies off of is marked "Hazard"
- The (upside-down and busted-open) crates are labelled "Fragile"
- The wanted posters just say "Wanted" (duh) and list Wasp and Mudflap's names
- Depth Charge's door nameplate reads "Chief"
- The order Depth Charge shows Cheetor says "Transfer"
