Animation and technical errors

Continuity notes
- This episode continues from the previous one, starting not long after Smokescreen's capture and subsequent restraint.
- The cortical psychic patch is used to extract information from Smokescreen, having been used previously in "Sick Mind" and "Out of the Past".
- Starscream lists off numerous items he's acquired or stolen in previous episodes; the Omega Key from "Hard Knocks", the processed Red Energon (which he acquired in "New Recruit" and refined in "Hard Knocks"), his GroundBridge remote first seen in "Triangulation", his murdered clone from "Armada", and the T-cog he scavenged from said clone in "Triangulation".
- Ratchet recalls Starscream's lack of a T-cog, which he learned about in "Crossfire". Starscream lost his in "Operation Bumblebee, Part 2".

Trivia
- This episode explains why the phase shifter doesn't phase the user through everything, neatly tying up the issues of how it can be used with such versatility.
