Notes
Animation and technical errors
Continuity errors
- Despite Saberhorn specifically not appearing in the Alchemor database in this episode, his silhouette appeared when Fixit was looking up Polarclaw in "Overloaded, Part 2".
Continuity notes
- Denny purchased the Billy the Breakfast Beaver way back in "Pilot (Part 2)".
- Terrashock's museum capture occurred in "W.W.O.D.?" and, though it's unclear when the piece of metal fell off Fracture, we're wagering it was during "Lockout".
- Though the half submerged ship is unnamed, it looks uncannily like the back end of the Alchemor, previously seen in the longer version of the title sequence which has only been seen on foreign language dubs of the show.
