Notes
Errors
- Though not necessarily an error, as she does have purple on her, the text of the story describes Stiletto as a "purple robot", while the art depicts her as mostly yellow.
Continuity notes
- Overshoot dates this story to "half an orbital cycle" after "Head Games" (when "Fort Max went dark").
Transformers references
- The following characters are mentioned or referenced, but do not appear in the story proper: Blitzwing, Guardminders, Dropkicks, Sunstreaker, Blurr, Unicron, and Primus.
- Frizz-rats, and technohawks are also mentioned.
- Overshoot jokes that the Overcharges are called that because you're charged too much for them, a joke on the toy's eye-watering cost.
- "Terrorbot" was a term first used by e-HOBBY for the Overcharges.
- There's a story about the dead climbing up the walls near Kalis, a reference to "City of Fear!".
- Crystal City blows up once again.
- When Wolfang's leg comes off, it changes from blue to red. That's the colour of the other Wolfang's leg.
- Mnemosurgery, the medical reprogramming of memories and thoughts, makes the jump from the IDW Generation 1 continuity to another continuity.
Real world references
Other trivia
- This is the first story in Uprising where our 'heroes' have been working for the Builders, giving us another look at the conflict.
- Bighorn was a beloved member of the Resistance! This is the first time we'd have known that because in both of his appearances, he's been an antagonist and asshole to our POV characters.
- Almost all of the characters introduced to the Uprising universe in this story have never had toys released under the Beast Wars franchise. The one exception to this is Wolfang, who was revealed to be a main character in the fifth Uprising text story, Trigger Warnings, by Ask Vector Prime prior to the release of Burning Bridges.
